Grosjean leaves hospital on Tuesday

The Haas racing team announced this after Meran team boss Günther Steiner visited the 34-year-old on Monday. Treatment for the burns Grosjean suffered on the backs of both hands is going well. However, the Frenchman will not take part in the penultimate race of the season next Sunday (18.10:XNUMX p.m. CET).

On Monday, Haas nominated its Brazilian replacement driver Pietro Fittipaldi (24), grandson of two-time Formula 1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi. “Having decided that it was best for Romain to miss at least one race, the decision to put Pietro in the car was pretty easy,” Steiner was quoted as saying. So far, Fittipaldi has only appeared on track in the premier class in Friday training sessions. Fittipaldi started in the DTM in 2019. Steiner hopes for Grosjean's return Steiner had initially hoped to be able to use Grosjean, as he explained in a virtual media round on Sunday: “Romain will drive for me, but we have to wait and see what the doctors' verdict will be and whether he wants it. It’s his decision, I won’t interfere.” Romain Grosjean escaped an inferno of flames. © APA/afp / BRYN LENNON

Grosjean's contract with Haas expires at the end of the season and will not be extended; this has been clear since mid-October. Grosjean has been driving for the US racing team since Haas joined Formula 1 in 2016, which could accommodate Mick Schumacher in 2021.

Steiner left no doubt that the cockpit protection Halo saved Grosjean's life: “I was against it at the beginning. But it's good that there was a push to make it compulsory. It always takes a bit of luck, but a lot of research has been done to make cars safer.” “Fortunately, shields of love save real superheroes.” Marion Jolles Grosjean Grosjean's wife, French TV presenter Marion Jolles Grosjean, shared her great relief via Twitter: "Once we have said the urgent words, the useful words to protect our children, then we lack others for ourselves. Fortunately, protective shields save the day Love real superheroes.” The couple has been married since 2012 and has three children.
