“She appreciated my comments.” – Daniel Ricciardo claims that Grosjean’s wife agreed that her heated objection to constant broadcasting was justified.
Daniel Ricciardo was furious at F1 for the frequent repetitions of Romain Grosjean’s accident when interviewed by the media after the Bahrain Grand Prix race, however he was only joined by Sebastian Vettel in the protest.
Now, with Grosjean’s wife, Marion Jolles, joining the French driver in Bahrain, Ricciardo claims that Jolles commented that he agreed with him on the matter.
“I saw her and she appreciated my comments. I think it was the only confirmation I needed, ”Ricciardo told media like Motorsport.com on Thursday as he prepares for the second GP weekend in Bahrain.
It was true, while the red flags stopped the session for a significant period of time. F1 announcers constantly played images of Grosjean everywhere until the race was restarted.
Vettel also said he was distraught over the recordings and decided to ignore them in the end due to the severity of the accident and the omnipresence of the footage.
Grosjean wants a deserved departure
With Grosjean set to leave Haas at the end of the season, his accident raised a question: “How long will he be unavailable?” Fortunately, Grosjean suffered only a few minor burns.
Although that makes him not yet available for the Sakhir GP and will be replaced by Fittipaldi. Fortunately, it will be available for the last race of the season at the Yas Marina circuit later this month.
And that is why Grosjean in a recent interview said that he is happy to be available for that race as he never wanted to get out of F1 and the last moment was the crash in Bahrain.
Next year, Haas will introduce a new lineup of Mick Schumacher and Nikita Mazepin to replace the current team.
