Romain Grosjean undergoes hand surgery after Detroit IndyCar GP

At 40, Grosjean is racing in a series where contact on tight street circuits is routine, and any hand injury carries real implications for a driver who already has a well-documented history with his hands after Bahrain 2020. The article leaves open whether the surgery stems directly from the Turn 3 incident with Rossi or something that developed separately, which matters for understanding how serious this is. Dale Coyne Racing is not a front-running operation, so Grosjean absorbing contact and finishing the race before quietly disclosing surgery afterward fits a pattern of drivers managing through difficult circumstances with limited resources around them.
