Formula 1 driver Romain Grosjean remains in hospital for one more night as a precaution after his fire accident in Bahrain. But that doesn’t stop the Genevan from keeping his body in shape.
The cure is going according to plan, Haas team leader Günther Steiner said in a video conference Tuesday. “There has been no setback.” A possible discharge was originally assumed on Tuesday.
In his accident Sunday in Sakhir, Grosjean miraculously suffered only burns on the back of his hand, after which he was taken to hospital. Brazilian Pietro Fittipaldi (24) replaces him this weekend in the second race in Bahrain.
Grosjean reported from the hospital Tuesday morning with an Instagram post. The photo shows the 34-year-old doing physical exercises. He writes: “I never thought a few squats could make me happy. My body is recovering well. Hopefully also the hands of the burns. “
End of season as objective
Grosjean wants to return at the end of the season on December 13. “He’s trying to get back in the car in Abu Dhabi,” says Steiner. “That is his goal now.” With the burns on his hands, a mission this weekend was not possible, the Haas team leader said. According to his own statement, the Genevan now “is in no rush.” A use of large jeans that the team has to leave at the end of the year “depends on your health.
Steiner also reports some details of the accident. South Tyrol assumes 27 seconds that Grosjean was in the flaming car before he could break free. 53g forces reportedly acted on the pilot when he collided with the railing. For comparison: in Formula 1 cars, the driver can feel 5 g when cornering.
Grosjean still remembers how he got out of the car, Steiner continues. But you are probably not very clear about how you got into this situation.
