Romain Grosjean Returns To Bahrain F1 Paddock To Meet Rescuers After Crash Escape
French driver Romain Grosjean made a sensational return to the F1 paddock in Bahrain, just four days after he suffered a horror crash at the start of the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Haas F1 team driver had suffered a dramatic crash on Lap 1, with his car catching fire and splitting into two. After being discharged from the hospital, Romain Grosjean made an emotional return to the Bahrain F1 paddock ahead of the Sakhir Grand Prix and spent time with those who saved his life. The fiery Roman Grosjean crash took place on the first lap of last week’s Bahrain Grand Prix. The Frenchman was hit by Daniel Kvyat at the start of the race, with his car colliding into the barriers at the track’s Turn 4. Following the contact, Romain Grosjean’s car went into the barrier and was split in two, as the Haas chassis was engulfed in flames. Romain Grosjean spent as many as 28 seconds in the fire as he tried to get out of the wreckage and was later helped to safety by Dr Ian Roberts who arrived in the FIA medical car. Post the Romain Grosjean crash, it was disclosed that the driver suffered an impact of 53G when he collided with the barriers. Soon after being rescued from the crash, the 34-year-old was taken to the hospital.
