Grosjean was confirmed as Renault's test driver for 2008, replacing Nelson Piquet, Jr. who graduated to a race seat. He drove a Formula One car for the first time at the UK round of the 2008 World Series by Renault weekend at Silverstone on June 7 and June 8, 2008 where he gave a number of demonstrations of the previous year's R27 car. He initially continued in the test driver role at Renault for 2009, but took over Piquet's seat from the European Grand Prix onwards. Grosjean qualified 14th at the European Grand Prix in 2009. He was knocked out of Q2 only 0.323 secs off the pace of team mate Fernando Alonso.
