Manama (Bahrain): Romain Grosjean spoke from his hospital bed on Sunday after walking away from a terrifying high-speed crash - and the fiery explosion it caused - in the F1 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Frenchman clipped a front wheel of Daniil Kvyat's Alpha Tauri during the first lap of the race and veered off into a trackside barrier, with his Haas F1 splitting into two sections before bursting into flames.
Grosjean was able to get out of his car though and was taken to hospital, where he will receive treatment for burns to the backs of his hands.
It is believed that the halo - a safety device introduced to F1 in 2018 that offers protection to a driver's head - saved Grosjean's life.
