They were three Frenchmen on the grid in 2014. Next year, it will only be Romain Grosjean.
Jules Bianchi is of course still in a critical condition after his terrible crash at the Japanese Grand Prix. Plus, Marussia is deep in financial problems and is unlikely to return next year. Then there is Jean-Éric Vergne, who was dropped by Red Bull to make room for youngsters like Carlos Sainz Jr. and Max Verstappen at Toro Rosso. "I hope they come back soon," Grosjean is quoted as saying by L'Équipe during a fundraising event in France, earlier this week.
"(Their departure) makes me want to sing La Marseillaise even more. "Verstappen is getting a great opportunity at 17. I still remember the day I got a race seat in F1. It's a milestone. But he still has a lot of work to do. You're never ready for F1. "I learn a lot every day even now. You need a lot more than a year to learn how this series works. It's a big and complicated step. It's the big one."
