Former F1 star makes BRAVE return in Bahrain
Former F1 star makes BRAVE return in Bahrain
Romain Grosjean has bravely returned to the scene of his horrific crash during the 2020 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
On the first lap of the race, Grosjean's Haas car crashed through a barrier at extremely high speed.
After a collision with Daniil Kvyat's AlphaTauri, the car broke in two and burst into flames.
Despite the intense fireball, Grosjean miraculously managed to extricate himself from the cockpit, climbing over the guardrail to safety. Shortly after, medical personnel escorted him to an ambulance, and he was subsequently transported to the hospital.
Remarkably, considering the severity of the crash, the now-Indy Car driver sustained relatively minor injuries. Apart from minor burns, Grosjean emerged with a sprained ankle from the harrowing incident.

Grosjean returns to 'nightmare' scene
Ahead of the season opener of the 2024 F1 season in Bahrain, Grosjean has bravely returned to the scene of his accident and documented it on Instagram.
"Went for a walk to visit the Phoenix Corner," he wrote alongside a selfie of the scene.
Many commenters were quick to comment on Grosjean's tongue-in-cheek humour.
"Bro is making a meme out of himself," one wrote.
"He went to visit his nightmare," another said.
On a more serious note, one fan added: "The strength to not only get back in a race car, but to go visit the scene of one of the worst nightmares of any race car driver is huge.
"We love you Grosjean and thank you for being so incredible!"
