F1 driver Grosjean escapes after horror crash at Bahrain GP

The Hindu  

Formula One driver Romain Grosjean appeared to escape with minor burns after his car crashed and burst into flames moments after the start of the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday. “Thankful to the FIA for the massive strides we’ve taken for Romain to walk away from that safely.” It appeared an extraordinary escape after Grosjean’s car was sliced in half upon impact with the barrier. Grosjean’s teammate Kevin Magnussen looked distressed when he saw the footage as drivers waited in the paddock for the race to restart, while officials returned to the site of the crash to pick up debris littered around the destroyed car. The race restarted about 1 1/2 hours later with Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton leading, ahead of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Racing Point’s Sergio Perez.
