F1 star makes incredible return five years after horror crash
Former F1 star Romain Grosjean returned to the track after a horrific crash that ended his career five years ago.
During the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix, Grosjean’s car broke into two and caught fire after hitting the barriers at high speed.
Despite suffering burns on his hands, Grosjean miraculously escaped the wreckage after being trapped for 27 seconds.
After ending his F1 career prematurely, Grosjean tested Haas’ 2023 car at the Mugello Circuit as part of the testing of previous cars (TPC) program.
The 39-year-old shared his excitement for being back in an F1 car and unveiled a helmet design created by his children for what was meant to be his final race in F1.
Grosjean, who raced for Haas from 2016-2020, has also had successful stints with Lotus, earning all 10 of his career podiums during his time with the team.
