The Frenchman sounded relieved that he hasn’t had any “bad surprises, flashbacks, or nightmares ” of the crash so far; and is looking to sustain it through the future as well.

“For me, it is not what I went through. This is my life, my job, and the risk we take, but it is what I put people through – my family, my parents, my wife, my kids, my friends.”

The Bahrain Grand Prix showed a glimpse of how dangerous Formula 1 can be, and it was Romain Grosjean who provided that example.

I made people suffer: Grosjean

The crash left the entire viewers shocked and speechless. Things got worse as F1 decided not to show replays of the incident until the confirmation that the driver is safe. This decision left everyone blindfolded, wondering about nothing but one question. Did he survive that crash?

“For two minutes 43 [seconds], they thought their friend, their husband, their father was dead. And that is what I am working on because that is what made me cry, that I made people suffer to that extent,” Grosjean said.

It wasn’t until a few minutes from the crash that F1 confirmed Grosjean was safe, as the entire racing community heaved a sigh of relief.

Grosjean escaped with minor burns to both his hands and one of his ankles. The fact that his left boot came off during the impact dropped the foot vulnerable to the inferno.

Despite going through such trauma, Grosjean maintained his cheerful attitude, in an attempt to avoid sharing his pain with the others. Hence, one can only hope that the Frenchman recovers fast and produces a stunning comeback to racing.
