F1: After the miracle in Bahrain, everyone thanks Grosjean

Ad

A MIRACLE OCCURRED ON SUNDAY IN BAHRAIN. We saw by far the biggest accident in recent years at the Bahrain Grand Prix, from which Romain Grosjean miraculously escaped with minor injuries.

By the way, Grosjean reported his condition within hours of the accident, and has since remarked that he is fine with the circumstances and is grateful for all the messages he has received.

WORDS FROM WIFE OF SUPPORT. Marion Grosjean posted a longer and more emotional Instagram post the morning after the race and accident for everyone who expressed support after what happened. The highlight of the French driver’s wife is FIA President Jean Todt, her husband’s teammate Kevin Magnussen and Jules Bianchi, whose fatal accident in 2014 further tightened safety standards. As a result, the halo on cars, for example, signifies the life of Grosjean in Bahrain.

“Of course I didn’t sleep at night – read Marion Grosjean’s post. – But I know what to do in such cases because it always helps. I don’t want to lie, I really couldn’t find the words this morning. You will laugh at this because you know exactly how much I like to talk and how much I tend to write to you.

I didn’t even know what photo to put in this post. What kind of image should I save from yesterday? Do you call them? The way their rescuers carry them? About your car accident?

I chose this in a somewhat silly way. Because we both wear a shirt that represents the success of the GP2 championship. Sometimes that’s what I sleep on. But I prefer to have the word superhero instead of the champion, but if necessary, we will order one for our children, because that is how we explain the inexplicable to them.

I used helpful and emphatic words on Twitter to protect them from everything. I told them that the shield of love protected their father. Today, I need to find other terms to reveal our feelings. But together we will solve them too. One such expression could be the gratitude felt by those sitting in a medical car. Or the friendship with Jean Todt and his unshakable humanity. We thank everyone who has expressed their support, love, kindness, all of which mean a lot to us.

Thanks to Jules Bianchi’s family, his father Philippe, who is now constantly in my head, as is Jules himself. Thanks to Kevin Magnussen for his words and to the Canal + team for their sensitivity. If I miss someone, I apologize.

We thank our children for encouraging their father to come out of the flames. I am grateful for the courage, dedication, spiritual strength, love, and physical condition that probably kept him alive. Kim, Dan, I love you! Not one, but many miracles happened yesterday. I hug you all! “

THE TEAM LEADER ALSO SAID THANKS. Günther Steiner visited his contestant, who is still recovering in one of the Bahrain hospitals, on Monday, but of course he did not forget to express his thanks to the judges and the medical team.

“I would like to thank the rescue team who acted very quickly. The field judges and the FIA ​​professionals did a great job. It was a very scary situation. “

WE ALSO PUT OURSELVES ON THE HEAD. In addition to Grosjean, the race in Bahrain for the Canadian Racing Point drivers ended early, and Stroll did not give up such that there was no risk of injury for a moment. Just one lap after a one-and-a-half hour reset, Stroll ran into Danyiil Kvjat, as a result of which the No. 18 Racing Point was blown up and then headed straight up. Fortunately, Stroll escaped the case without injury.

BAD LUCK ALSO COVERED THE TEAMMATE. Sergio Perez drove with the other Racing Point to third place on the podium until his car slowed down and then fired up four laps before being knocked down. The stable fight for third place in the constructors’ championship thus closed the Bahrain GP without a point. Although Pérez was obviously disappointed by this, his words after the race did not illuminate him.

“After what happened today, we put everything in a different perspective. For me, it’s just that it became more or less a podium. It doesn’t matter because the most important thing is that Romain is still with us ”. The Mexican said after the slap.
