Grosjean no longer in contention for second Renault race seat?

Renault's recently announced new team principal Eric Boullier has hinted at which possible driver might no longer have good chances of landing the second race seat alongside Robert Kubica. Boullier didn't give any names nor mentioned Romain Grosjean, just a specific nationality.

Grosjean replaced Nelson Piquet Jr. from the European GP onwards, and scored zero points compared to Fernando Alonso's 13 from that point onwards.

Speaking to France's 'RMC' radio, Boullier said, "There are several possible scenarios, one of them French, but today, that is the scenario with perhaps the least chance of success."

And while Grosjean was born in Switzerland, it must be noted that he holds both Swiss and French nationalities.

"We have made progress," he added, "but are still far from being able to disclose the name."
