Haas team leader Günther Steiner visited Romain Grosjean this morning at the hospital. The South Tyrolean is relieved that the Geneva man is doing relatively well, as he reports in a CNN interview.
No one in the Formula 1 paddock will forget yesterday’s race so quickly, the impression left by the images of Romain Grosjean’s fire accident is too strong. The Geneva man flew into the third corner at about 220 km / h, crashed into the railings and his pilot Haas broke and caught fire.
Grosjean was able to free himself in 27 seconds and climb over the railings, on the other hand, he was greeted by FIA doctor Ian Roberts and medical car driver Alan van der Merwe and examined for the first time. After provisional treatment for his burns, the Haas pilot was taken to the medical center in an ambulance and from there he was transferred by helicopter to the Manama Military Hospital.
Subsequent examinations showed that the 34-year-old man was very lucky, because in addition to the burns on the back of his hands, he was unharmed. This morning, Haas team leader Günther Steiner visited him and later reported in a CNN interview: “I met Romain this morning and he was in a good mood.”
“He explained that he had no pain, but of course the bandages on his hands are still there. Romain is very well cared for and it will take a few more days to find out how long the healing process will take. But he is fine and we hope that he can be released tomorrow Tuesday, as scheduled. So he doesn’t want to go home, but to his hotel, and we hope that he can be with us on the track for the weekend, ”said the 55-year-old Italian.
When asked what went through his head when he saw the accident, Steiner confessed: “I saw the same photos as everyone else. You think to yourself: ‘Oh, this is our car, what happened, what is happening?’ It happened so fast and it was immediately proven that Roman could get out of the car. That was exactly what we wanted to see too … I can hardly believe it, it’s a miracle, because just seconds before this game and all the fire and drama had happened, and then he rose from the flames, they escaped with the help from the medical team. “
The Haas team also received updates on Grosjean’s status during the race, which started again after about an hour and 20 minutes. “It was clear that he was not seriously injured and at that point you just move on. You know the driver is fine and we told the team to focus on track work because we still had a car that had to finish this race. We knew that major injuries would not be diagnosed, so we could stay calm. “
