The pictures are awesome. In the first round of the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Bahrain, the French driver Romain Grosjean, in the back of the pack, hit of the face, probably more than 200 km/h, a safety rail, after hooking the wheel of his teammate Haas. His car was immediately in flames. It almost has the open two-rail metal. Once the flames had been extinguished, we could see the car cut into two parts, each side of the rail.

The athlete should be out of the hospital on Tuesday, announcing his team in a press release, Monday 30 November. Grosjean "continuing his convalescence at the hospital in Bahrain, where he spent the night," says the american team. "The treatment of his burns on the back of the hands is going well. [He] received the visit of Guenther Steiner, team principal of Haas on Monday, and it is expected that it is discharged from the hospital on Tuesday. "

Grosjean replaced by Fittipaldi at Haas

The French will package "at least" for the penultimate GP of the season this weekend, still in Bahrain, has also announced its Haas. Grosjean, that Haas did not keep in 2021, and whose chances of finding a wheel in the premier class in the future are almost nonexistent, will be replaced by the test driver and reserve of the stable american, Brazilian Pietro Fittipaldi, grandson of double F1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi.

Romain Grosjean was extracted only of the Formula 1, in the middle of the flames. The halo, the headband that protects the head of the drivers, has probably saved my life. A single boot to the feet, limp, carried Grosjean had left in the ambulance the track of the circuit of Sakhir, where he got two of his ten podiums in the premier class in 2012 and 2013 in the Lotus Renault engine.
