Romain Grosjean reunited with F1 helmet that saved his life in 2020 Bahrain crash

Romain Grosjean has been reunited with the Formula 1 race helmet that saved his life during his horrific 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix crash.

The French-Swiss driver suffered a violent crash on the opening lap of the race at the Sakhir circuit. After making contact with Daniil Kvyat, he crashed into the barriers at high speed, breaking the car in half and very quickly becoming engulfed in flames. Amazingly, Grosjean was able to pull himself out of the wreck after being stuck for 28 seconds. While marshals helped pull him away from the fiery and mangled chassis following the 67G impact, he was keen to walk unaided to show his family watching on the screens that he was OK.
