Busy departure to Bahrain as often.
Unfortunately this time around it resulted in a spectacular accident involving Romain Grosjean.
19th on the grid, the Frenchman hit the front rail at the end of the first corner, after a collision with another single-seater.
The Frenchman's Haas literally caught fire, causing a fireball.
Impressive but obviously not serious since the Habs was taken out of his car, shocked, but on both legs.
A true miracle.
According to information from Canal +, Romain Grosjean would be “relatively well”.
The Frenchman has been reported to be suffering from burns but he is well aware and standing on his own two legs although he is of course shocked after the appalling accident.

That was scary.
We've heard over the radio that Romain is out of the car and ok.
