Romain Grosjean returns to Bahrain track just four days after horror F1 crash, reunited with rescuers

Written by on 03/12/2020

Romain Grosjean returned to the Bahrain paddock on Thursday just four days after his horrific fiery crash and incredible escape, with the Haas driver reunited with his first responders among other delighted Formula 1 personnel.

Grosjean, who miraculously avoided a major injury at Sunday’s Bahrain GP, is not taking part in this weekend’s second race at the Sakhir circuit but, after being discharged from hospital on Wednesday, was welcomed back to the paddock.

Now recovering privately from his burns, Grosjean arrived with bandages on both hands, and his left foot before some emotional reunions.

Grosjean, accompanied by wife Marion who flew to Bahrain this week, met with his Haas team again as well as FIA Medical Car driver Alan van der Merwe and FIA medical delegate Alan Roberts.

Van der Merwe and Roberts were the first on the scene following Grosjean’s death-defying accident, with Roberts having pulled Grosjean over the barrier and out of the fire.

More to follow.
