Guenther Steine🐭r hౠas recalled the terror of Romain Grosjean’s notorious fireball crash.

Grosjean’s🐽 Haas hit the barriers at the 2020 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix at 137mph with a full load of fuel, before bursting into flames.

After a few seconds of horror, 🔯Grosjean hopped out of the wrecked car.

“The biggest reflection is that we got lucky,” then-Haas team boss Steiner told th🌄e Sky F1 ꦛpodcast. “Somebody looked after us.

“It was the shortest - an♕d the longest - 30 seconds of my life.

“You know thꦛat i🍸f he doesn’t come out now, then he’s not coming out…

“I have done racing cars for a long time and, when you see this ball of fire,♏ you know he is not surviving unless he comes out.

“The only way to survive is t🍨o jump out of the 🔥car.

“While you try to take control of the situation, he jumps out. And it’🍸s finished, we are good.

“𒉰The most important thing is that🥂 he is alive. And we will deal with the rest.

“Now, I don🍸’t look back꧟ negatively because he got away with it.

“Think about the positives. The safety of these racing cars. “Without the Halo, he would ༺have had no chance to come out.

“The people around him who helped.

“He got lucky but F1 made their own luck by b﷽eing stringent. “After anything happens they introduce new measures to make it safer.

“After that crash, there were changes made to t✤he car so that this cannot happ🍬en.

“There was nothing wrong with the car. We’d never experienced anything like tওhis. We could not simulate it.

“I take the positives away. I give a lot of𝐆 credit to Jean Todt, the FIA presi♍dent, who pushed the Halo system through because a lot of people were against it.

“People make decisions which make these t🐻hꦡings happen.”

The Halo, in pa☂rticular, is now widely considered a revolutionary technological advan𝐆cement.

The curved bar which sits around a driver’s head while he sits in the cockpit was initially criticised𝔉 for its ♈aesthetic, including by some people within F1.

But years later it is credited with keeping several drivers safe🐲 in their 🏅scariest moments.
