Romain Grosjean Meets The People Who Helped Save His Life | 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix
Спорт
Just four days after his fiery accident in Bahrain, Haas driver Romain Grosjean made a triumphant return to the F1 paddock, where he met the two Bahraini marshals from Bahrain International Circuit, as well as the FIA's Michael Masi (Race Director), Alan van der Merwe (Medical car driver) and Dr Ian Roberts (Deputy Medical Delegate). It's no exaggeration to say that all these heroes contributed to saving the Frenchman's life.

Romain made a lot of mistakes in his career, he was fast but not consistent. But he is one of the best as a human being. Always smiling, funny (in French), humble. A simple guy who loves his family, friends, cooking, sports in general. I'm glad he's alive and that he chooses to invest himself personally with the FIA to work on security in the future.

What an extraordinary moment of gratefulness and joy! You made my day Romain!
So glad he's okay and doing well!! It was a horrific crash it could've been so much worse...

Absolutely amazing and huge respect to everyone involved from the designers / engineers, to the marshals, to the medical team, to Romain and to so many more who have pushed so hard over the years to make this sport safer. You have all saved a life.
