he suffered burns. in years gone by, he may have lost his life. his escape still seemed miraculous. certainly looked shocking. as the teams in bahrain watched the replays, they were reminded of the extreme risks of motor racing. grosjean was taken to hospital. the race, after a long delay, resumed. straightaway, another collision, a car upturned. lance stroll the driver pulled out, unharmed. a safety car finally led the drivers home after another incident. lewis hamilton won, his thoughts we re lewis hamilton won, his thoughts were with grosjean. 20 drivers came to bahrain and 20 lived to drive again. joe wilson, bbc news. former formula 1 driver joylon palmer has driven with romain grosjean when he was a test driver for lotus. i spoke to him earlier and asked how crucial safety measures like the halo system were in saving grosjean's life?

from the looks of it, early on, it looks like it was critical, to be honest. have to say, i saw the car going life, it was shocking. the crash was bad. as soon as he hit it, you just... your heart six at this moment. and i was team—mates with —— i was team—mates with romain before. the cars now, there is certainly safe. it did not break into two, he was able to get out of the car in short time, and when the car is on fire like it was, that it is just as well. car is on fire like it was, that it isjust as well. i mean, the medical staff were praised for getting out safely, as you just mentioned, but how lucky is romain to have walked away from such a horrific crash? incredibly lucky. incredibly lucky. you would hate to see a crash like this again because the outcome could be very different. the way he has

veered off to the right, andy carr has gone through the barriers, we have seen that in modern formula 1, the car going through the barriers. the car was in two. when you realise that he is still basically trapped with the barrier, in the survival cell of the car, in his seat, and the bit that is really fire, it is incredible that he got up so quickly. i think halo, yes, incredible that he got up so quickly. ithink halo, yes, was really helpful in not letting him get hit by the barrier but then also giving him a bit of rigour room to get out. really scary looking staff, but something i think fia will be looking into to make sure it doesn't happen again. there are procedures drivers have to get through to get out of the car in that situation. yet, at the start of every year, the drivers have got to get out of the carand drivers have got to get out of the car and put the steering will back on in about ten seconds. it is a process the fia do as a safety check to make sure that, if you need to

get out in a hurry, you can, and this is all because they are strapped in so tightly. the cockpit is really tight. you cannot get your needs that from the bulkhead of the car, and you make sure the safety is there. when grosjean hit the wall, there. when grosjean hit the wall, the g he has hit is absolutely enormous, roughly 50 g, he is shaken up enormous, roughly 50 g, he is shaken up at that, but then there was fire all around you, and the fact that he could get out so quickly assessment once again to safety procedure and also to fireproof clothing. he was in there enough and looks to have got out relatively unscathed. and we will keep you updated on the status of romain grosjean. let's take a look at the other sports news stories making the headlines. ireland beat georgia 23—10 in the autumn nations cup in dublin —
