Formula 1 Driver Romain Grosjean Involved in Fiery Crash during Bahrain Grand Prix — Details Here

Romain Grosjean barely managed to survive a car crash while racing over the weekend. The Formula 1 race car driver was recorded as he narrowly escaped from his burning vehicle.

On Sunday, Romain Grosjean got trapped in a burning Formula 1 car after a crash. The race driver’s vehicle was sliced in half and exploded into flames after the first lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Grosjean, 34, ended up battling to get out of the car for at least around 10 to 15 seconds. Surprisingly, he was able to keep his cool and stayed calm enough to find a way to save himself.

The Frenchman was recorded as he jumped through the flames and grabbed a barrier to help him get back onto the track. He appeared to have burnt his hands a bit as he swung them to cool them off.

Shaken by the incident, the racer was luckily able to walk to an ambulance with the assistance of two medics. His Haas team said Grosjean made it out with minor burns on his ankles and hands.

However, he was generally described as okay. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen recalled seeing a lot of fire and thinking that wasn’t a good thing for the French driver, Verstappen was, however, glad Grosjean was fine.

He also shared how he hoped the driver would be able to fully recover. The injured driver was taken by helicopter to a military hospital where he was kept overnight for further observation.

Formula 1 shared a clip of Grosjean’s escape and shared their gratitude that the driver was able to walk away from the incident. In the tweet, Formula 1 also commended the marshals, drivers, and medical teams for their bravery.

Alex Zanardi was injured after being involved in a road accident in his native Italy.

In a second tweet, the auto racing competition shared a video of how the incident happened. They also showed how the driver had narrowly escaped the incident with his life.

The auto racing competition also noted how the incident had felt to those who witnessed it. Other racers who were watching in shock and abated breath clapped when the Geneva, Switzerland born racer got out of harm’s way safely, with the Formula 1 calling it:

“A heart-stopping moment on Lap 1 in Bahrain.”

In an incident that occurred in June 2020, ex-Formula 1 driver Alex Zanardi, 53, was said to be in a “very serious” condition. The racer was injured after being involved in a road accident in his native Italy.

The former star was riding his handbike when he got hurt. He was flown to the nearby Le Scotte hospital in Siena and put in intensive care following surgery and has recently been moved to another hospital.
