Formel-1 driver Romain Grosjean (34) claims to be recovering “well” from his fire accident and wants to start again for Haas in the last race of the season in Abu Dhabi (December 13th). “He said he really wanted to go. That is his goal, ”said team boss Günther Steiner in a video conference on Tuesday and confirmed that Grosjean will spend another night in the hospital. The healing process for the French is going as planned.
Grosjean himself posted a picture on social networks from the hospital on which he is already doing a fitness exercise. His burned hands are still thickly bandaged. His contract with Haas is running out, Abu Dhabi would probably be Grosjeans last chance for a Formula 1 race. On Sunday in Bahrain, the father of the family will be replaced by Pietro Fittipaldi (24), grandson of two-time Formula 1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi.
Initially, it was said that Grosjean could leave the hospital on Tuesday after surviving one of the worst accidents in recent Formula 1 history relatively lightly.
On the first lap of the Bahraini Grand Prix, his bolide crashed into a guardrail at more than 220 km / h, the car was torn in two and burned brightly. As if by a miracle, Grosjean was able to free himself from the wreck on his own after about 26 seconds in the fire.
