Romain Grosjean says he is “very impressed” with Lewis Hamilton and adds the Briton is one of the drivers he loved to race against.
During his appearance on the Beyond the Grid podcast Romain Grosjean said he has been “very impressed” with Lewis Hamilton and the championship battle he has with Max Verstappen.
“This is mega, so good to watch,” said the French driver.
“I watched the race in Bahrain and afterwards I was very impressed with how Lewis had driven.”
Grosjean appreciates how in 2021 Hamilton faces the toughest challenge in some time.
“He has had some easy wins in recent years, but the one in Bahrain showed why he is a world champion, why he was so strong in the junior categories and why he could compete with Fernando Alonso in Formula One straight away.

“He doesn’t make mistakes. Very rarely. He made one in Imola but recovered well.
“But generally in tricky conditions, like Turkey, last year is a good example with the wet he has been excellent.
“Valtteri had a nightmare afternoon, but Lewis stayed on track, clinched his seventh world title and made no mistakes.”
The Frenchman says Lewis is one of the drivers who keep it clean on the track and against whom he loved to race.
“Every time we raced, it has been good to race. With some guys on the grid, I knew it would be good in battles.
“Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel, Lewis, Daniel Ricciardo, those guys you knew you could have a good fight,” concluded Grosjean.
