Romain Grosjean ‘saw death coming’ in Bahrain Grand Prix F1 crash, wants to race again this season
Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean expects he will need psychological help to deal with the traumatic memories of his fiery crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix, but still wants to be racing again within days.
Key points:
- Romain Grosjean says he “saw death coming” when he crashed in the Bahrain Grand Prix
- He feared ending up like Niki Lauda, who survived with serious facial burns after a similar crash in 1976
- Grosjean is still hoping to compete in the season-ending race in Abu Dhabi in less than two weeks
The French driver’s car exploded into a fireball and split in half after crashing on the first lap and slicing through a metal barrier.
Grosjean escaped the Haas car’s flaming wreckage and was helped to safety by on-track marshals and race doctors.
