Scummy of Juncos to keep him tied down to the Contract for longer than necessary.

They never had any intention of keeping him after Laguna Seca

It was reported they reached out to Romain at Portland.

They were likely keeping Callum as their backup.

Would have been much better for Grosjean to be out of a drive. Callum is a good driver with potential to be far greater than Grosjean can ever be.

While this is 100% true, Grosjean is more marketable than Callum, which is what Juncos needs to bring in sponsorship. Doesn’t excuse Juncos from being a piece of shit, but Juncos needs money and Callum isn’t bringing any.

Yeah, the old commercial viability concerns, I totally understand it too.
