He was dismissed in 2009, so he intended to become a Chef Cook (Paris Ferrandi school).
He was born in Switzerland to Christian Grosjean (born in 1952), a lawyer based in Geneva and to painter Marie-Hélène Brandt (born on 30 May 1957, Geneva)., He is is the grandson of Swiss alpine skier Fernand Grosjean and great-grandson of Flavien Grosjean, bobsleigh runner. He is also the great-grandson of Edgar Brandt (maternal family), weapon designer and founder of the Brandt company.
In November 2020, he hit a barrier at high speed in the first lap of the Grand Prix de Bahrain. Fortunately, he could exit the car which caught fire.
During the 2020 season, he decided to retire at the end of that year, after having won 10 podiums in F1. Grosjean chose to compete in the IndyCars Series in 2021.
