Grosjean crash: “the love shield” of his wife Marion Jollès

The Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday was the scene of one of the scariest Formula 1 crashes since the turn of the 21st century.

Disconcerted by contact with Dannil Kvyat's Alpha Tauri, Romain Grosjean's Haas struck a safety rail shortly after the start.

At nearly 250 km / h, and with an unfavorable impact angle with the rail,

It took a small miracle, and all his foresight, for the French driver to extract himself from his burning car and be immediately rescued by the medical staff present on the circuit.

Terrifying images for the F1 fan, but obviously even more so for Grosjean's relatives, helpless in front of their television and necessarily very worried.

Fortunately, reassuring news quickly reached them.

Relieved, Marion Jollès, the pilot's wife, then took the time to post a message on her twitter account to express her relief and summarize in a very nice way how she had handled this situation with these three children.

“Once we have said the urgent words, the useful words, to protect our children, the others are missing for us.

Fortunately, love shields save superheroes. ”

“Love shields” and also the halo, this hoop-shaped system above the cockpit protecting the pilot that Grosjean greeted: “I was not for the halo a few years ago, but I think this is the best thing that has been brought to Formula 1, and without it I couldn't speak to you today. "

Once we have said the urgent words, the useful words, to protect our children, the others are missing for us.

Fortunately, love shields save super heroes.
