It wasn’t just fans who were surprised when Romain Grosjean’s Haas rider caught fire in the Bahrain GP crash. Even the Geneva opponents could hardly believe their eyes when they saw the accident.
The whole world of Formula 1 held their breath when Romain Grosjean crashed into the safety barriers at the third turn of the Bahrain circuit and his mangled driver became a ball of fire. The scene was particularly bad for the rest of the GP stars, who were quickly shown the red flag and had to turn towards the pit lane.
Williams Junior George Russell said in a Sky Sports F1 interview: “Incredible! If it hadn’t been for the halo, I think it would all have ended very differently. The way he got out of the accident was just amazing. From what I understand, he’s more or less fine and that shows how much safety in sport has improved. We can only be thankful for it. “
AlphaTauri driver Daniil Kvyat, whom Grosjean drove in front of the nose of the vehicle before the crash with the crash barriers, explained: “It was a shock, at first I was quite angry because it was stopping like that and I was wondering what I was doing. there. But as soon as I saw the fire in the rear view mirror, I changed my mind and just hoped it was okay. It was not pleasant what I saw, and I am happy that it is largely okay. It was a reminder that we were doing something dangerous. “
His teammate Pierre Gasly admitted: “To be honest, it was terrible. At first I didn’t know what was going on. I saw the photos and I was shocked because in my generation I had never seen anything like it. It happened before, but it was really scary. When I saw him get out of the car, he was happy, but it was scary. Fortunately the halo worked, I texted him during the outage wishing him a speedy recovery. “
McLaren driver Carlos Sainz said: “It wasn’t easy, especially on the way to the pit lane when the red flag was waved. I saw the car burn and had no information on its condition. That was a very bad experience and the whole scene was amazing with the big fire. But thank goodness we saw Romain get out of the car, I was incredibly relieved. It was a reminder that we must continue to improve the safety of cars and sports. And it was also proof that every time we step into these monsters, we risk our lives. That must be respected. Today we saw that these accidents can still happen. “
