Many names have been thrown about as potential suitors to partner George Russell, with team principal Toto Wolff confirming talks with four-time champion Sebastian Vettel and junior driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli also being linked.

Grosjean launches bid for Mercedes drive

In his brilliant post, Grosjean photoshops himself in Mercedes overalls inside a garage with the caption: “Maybe time to give a phone call to Toto,” followed by three smiling emojis.

The picture very quickly gained traction and left his followers in hysterics – but also excited by the idea of the Frenchmen in the Mercedes car.

“Don’t scare me like that bro lol,” one user wrote.

“He [Wolff] still owes you an F1 test day in the W11,” another said.

“1 year to convince Toto,” a third wrote.
