Bahrain GP interrupted after violent accident at start

The French pilot Romain Grosjean was the victim of a terrible accident at the start of the Bahrain Grand Prix. Her Haas was hit on the side and then crashed into the rail in front. The car split in two during the impact and the fuel tank exploded.

Miraculously, Romain Grosjean was quickly seen standing in the medical car, shocked, but apparently in relatively good shape. He nevertheless left to carry out examinations because he was suffering from burns. “Romain may have broken ribs but he is fine,” said Guenther Steiner, boss of Haas GP. “I think we were lucky, that’s what you think at the time. »
