Good news for Romain Grosjean.
The French driver, victim of a terrible crash during the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday, will be able to leave the hospital on Tuesday, his team Haas said.
Transported by helicopter Sunday evening to the Bahrain armed forces hospital, located near the capital Manama, Grosjean only suffered from burns on the back of both hands.
A miracle in view of the impressive images of his accident, which occurred while driving at more than 220 km / h.
"The treatment of his burns is going well," Haas said Monday morning.
As early as Sunday evening, Grosjean had given reassuring news.
He also spoke of the importance of the Halo, a protective arch that saved his life.
