Great start for Romain Grosjean in Oz, well done for the first time Down Under. One little question : How come Romain can be a French flagged driver when he was born in Switzerland ? We all know that he has an FFSA licence issued through the ASA Ocean in La Rochelle (licence 153717 - International Concurrant Conducteur "A" Auto) because Switzerland does not have a motor racing association to issue one, we all know that he lives in Switzerland, we all know that he's adopted a French town as his FFSA home address (Meudon -92, but this address only since his 2012 licence renewal), but we are a little bemused that one can actually change one's nationality by just having a French race licence. My son was BORN in France, he, and I also, also have French race licences, but although my son was physically born in France, his French ID card very clearly states that he is a "Foreigner, born in France with foreign parents".
Does anyone have any explanation why Romain has a French flag instead of a Swiss flag next to his name ?
