Romain Grosjean escaped from a horrific first-lap crash on the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday when his automobile cut up in two and burst into flames. The French driver’s Haas collided with Daniil Kyvat’s Alpha Tauri on flip three, skewing right into a barrier. Grosjean, 34, was lodged within the entrance half of his monocoque because it appeared to fly beneath the barrier, leaving the rear half behind on the sting of the circuit after spinning on influence. His automobile’s gasoline tank was clearly ruptured within the accident, releasing the gasoline that ignited in an enormous blaze.
