Hopefully he can get away clean. His last few starts have been horrible.

He may have injured his feet a bit but I must say the crash tests and requirements certainly saved Grosjean big time, looks like he collided with the pack that made him a passenger. Did something break on the Haas? he veered off before hitting Kvyat.

Na, just classic Grosjean error. Glad he’s ok. Don’t think anyone will complain about the halo ever again. It stayed intact piercing through a steel barrier.

I am sure the medical team is critically assessing GRO's anatomy for internal injuries....this (what appears to be) unsurvivable deceleration (G's) can often cause torn or damaged blood vessels, brain damage and so much more.
