Romain Grosjean crashed at 192kph at force equivalent to 67 Gs at F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, investigation finds
Romain Grosjean was doing 192 kilometres per hour when he hit a metal crash barrier and his car exploded into a fireball around him at the Bahrain Grand Prix last year.
Key points:
- Romain Grosjean was trapped in the cockpit for 27 seconds as flames engulfed his Haas car after a crash on the opening lap of the Bahrain GP
- Grosjean suffered burns on the back of his hands and a sprained ankle in the crash
- The medical car arrived at the scene just 11 seconds after Grosjean made impact with the metal barrier
The impact was estimated to be equivalent to 67 Gs, or 67 times his body weight. By comparison, heavy braking in an F1 car produces about 6 Gs.
The findings came from an investigation into the horror crash last November by governing body FIA…
