Grosjean: Sitting out Fridays for Kubica 'not ideal'
Romain Grosjean says it will not be "ideal" if Haas appoints a regular Friday practice driver in 2020.
Both Robert Kubica and Haas boss Gunther Steiner have admitted they may team up next year with a simulator and potentially Friday morning practice role for the Pole.
It would mean regular race drivers Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen would have to sit out some practice sessions.
"It is never ideal to not drive on Friday mornings," Grosjean told Ekstra Bladet newspaper.
"It also depends on what you want to achieve. You don't see Ferrari, Mercedes or Red Bull drivers giving up Friday mornings.
"Every session is important."
As for the prospect of sitting out some Fridays next year to make way for Kubica, Grosjean added: "What will be will be, but based on performance it is never ideal."

Does he mean based on his performance( Grosjean) or Kubia's? Both are about the same but at least Kubia comes with loads of cash!!
Haas should have got rid of Grojean this year when they had the chance!
Pam, you are brutal (he writes with a smile). GRO has contributed quite a bit to the Haas organization and he will continue to do so, but in this case I almost sorta' just about maybe agree with you.
