Video: Romain Grosjean returned behind the wheel for Haas

      Romain Grosjean returned behind the wheel of a Haas during tests at Mugello. For the driver it was his first time piloting a Formula 1 car since the crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix. Five years ago, on the first lap of that race, Grosjean collided with Daniil Kvyat and slammed into the safety barrier. The car split in two on impact and caught fire. The driver spent 27 seconds in the flames but managed to escape with burns to his hands. Since then Grosjean had not driven a Formula 1 car, but today, thanks to Haas and the TPC programme (Testing of a Previous Car), the driver returned to the track behind the wheel of the VF-23. The car carried the number 8, the number Grosjean raced under in Formula 1.
