French Haas driver Romain Grosjean, 34, was in a terrible accident at Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix and it’s only a miracle that he came out with minor injuries.

Although Grosjean also wanted to race in this weekend’s race, which will also be held in Bahrain, doctors say there is no possibility of that, and this has already been officially announced.

Haas has announced that the French driver will miss the entire weekend. Previously, there were rumors that Michael Schumacher’s son, Mick Schumacher, could jump in his place. Ultimately, the team decided that Pietro, the grandson of two-time world champion legend Emerson Fittipaldi, could sit behind the wheel.

Most importantly, Romain is now fine and healthy. Of course, this is not the most ideal time to debut in Formula One, but I am very grateful to Haas for having this opportunity now.

Said the young runner.

Interestingly, Emerson and Pietro are the first pairs of grandparents and grandchildren to compete in Formula One. Emerson Fittipaldi was world champion in 1972 and 1974.
