Haas boss Günther Steiner has steadfastly refused to discuss who could drive for the team in the Sahir Grand Prix later this week if Romain Grosjean’s condition prevents him from participating. The Frenchman suffered a terrible accident at the start of the race for the Bahrain Grand Prix, causing the race to stop. Tests showed that Grosjean had no fractures, but had burns on his hands. He spent the night in the hospital. According to the latest information from the team, the pilot will probably be discharged tomorrow.

“I want to talk to Romain first before speculating who might come if he can’t drive,” Steiner said.
“Only in the next few days will the doctors assess the severity of his injuries. Then we will decide what to do. For the moment for me, the situation is that Romain will drive. He was in a good mood as we talked. We even joked and our conversation was very short. He asked about some things, I asked him about others, but he was in a very good mood, he spoke on the phone with his family.

The Grosjean accident occurred at a speed of 221 km / h. Steiner thought that despite the impact, the pilot would probably want to drive this week, but that would be up to the medics.
“Knowing him, you’ll want to go back to the cockpit. However, only after removing the bandages will we see what the situation is. Now the best thing is that nothing bad happened.
Grosjean himself recorded a short video at the hospital last night. In it, he thanked the support and all the messages received.
He also admitted that he was among the critics of Halo, but now considers it the greatest innovation in the sport. Today he personally thanked his colleague Kevin Magnussen’s message on Twitter.
