High-speed haute cuisine is on the menu in the Romain Grosjean household, where head chef Romain Grosjean is also a racing star. 

Quick and with a natural feel for braking and balance, Romain Grosjean has the right ingredients to cook up a storm on track. Tussling and hustling at the front of the pack, the French racer claimed a series of impressive podiums for Renault before moving to spearhead the Haas team. 

Like the best chefs, the Geneva-born driver occasionally breaks a few eggs.  Renault handed Romain Grosjean his debut halfway through the 2009 season, but a mix of inexperience and enthusiasm saw him move back to the subs bench before making his F1 return in 2012. A one-race ban after triggering a pile-up in Spa seemed to be the final arc of the learning curve for Romain Grosjean. 

A more mature Romain Grosjean remains enthusiastic and expansive. A father to a growing brood and now a cookbook author, it seems he also has the ingredients for a happy life both in the Formula 1 paddock and away from the cauldron of F1 competition.
