Romain Grosjean has confirmed he is looking at options both in and out of Formula 1 if dropped by Haas.

Reports indicate the American outfit is deliberating between the Frenchman and Nico Hulkenberg for their seat alongside Kevin Magnussen next season.

This after another difficult season which has seen Grosjean score twice as many retirements as he has points finishes.

“The pressure is always on in Formula 1, even when you have a contract, it's very easy to be put aside," he claimed at Spa.

“We've had a good example this summer with Pierre [Gasly], he didn't have any warning coming that he was going to be dropped from one team to another.

"You need to perform as much as you can as often as you can. If you have a contract or don't have a contract, it doesn't really change that part."

The driver market was shaken up back at Spa when Valtteri Bottas was confirmed at Mercedes, with Esteban Ocon ousting Hulkenberg at Renault for 2020.

“There's always opportunities!" Haas chief Guenther Steiner said on what those announcements meant for their own situation.

"As I said, the dominoes starting to fall and that will then trigger what else is happening around it.

“We're almost there, it's not a long time until we will decide what to do. I will spend some time with Gene [Haas] and then the team decides what to do.”

Should that decision go against Grosjean, he is confident of finding a seat elsewhere.

“Yeah, there are options in F1 and options also in other categories, for now I still want to do F1 as the main plan," he explained.

“Obviously there are other things that are appealing for the future, Le Mans is one, Formula E could be one, yes.

“It's a nice championship, and obviously very, very different from Formula 1, but quite competitive and with some good constructors coming in which is always exciting, and maybe one or two others."

There was one move he did rule out though...

“Not IndyCar. I'm too scared of ovals," Romain revealed.

“Yes [they have road courses], but then you cannot be champion. That's already been happening a lot in Formula 1 because you don't have the right car, so if you go somewhere else, it's to try to be champion.”
