Fia, investigation into Grosjean accident will last 6-8 weeks

The investigation launched by the FIA ​​into the Romain Grosjean accident in the Bahrain GP will last between six and eight weeks and will involve sweeping checks on devices, structures and the organization of safety on the track.

This was announced by the federation itself, which normally investigates all the serious accidents that occur every year in Formula 1 but that of last Sunday - with the French driver's Haas that slipped under the guardrail, broke in two and set on fire, luckily trapping the driver only for a few seconds -, it poses new questions and problems.

    "The huge amount of data available will allow us to accurately determine every element of what happened and this work has already begun - explains FIA safety director, Adam Baker -. We take this investigation very seriously and will follow a rigorous process to find out exactly. what happened before proposing possible improvements ". "We hadn't seen anything like it in a long time, but the breaking of barriers and such an important stake usually have fatal effects for a driver," said Formula 1 CEO Ross Brawn.

    On the circuit that next Sunday will host a second race, called the Sakhir GP, new safety measures have been introduced, with two more rows of tires installed in front of the rebuilt guardrail at the exit of turn three.
