Romain Grosjean credited the halo protection bar with saving his life in a fiery crash that ripped his car in two on the opening lap of the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix on Sunday.

“Hello everyone, just wanted to say I am okay, well sort of okay,” the 34-year-old, his hand swaddled in bandages but his face smiling, said from his hospital bed in a video posted to his social media. Grosjean, who is out of contract and likely to leave Formula One at the end of the year, was one of those who was against it at the time, terming the day its introduction was announced a “sad day” for the sport.“There’s absolutely no doubt the halo was the factor that saved the day and saved Romain,” Formula One’s managing director for motorsport Ross Brawn said.“There was quite a lot of controversy at the time about introducing it and I don’t think anyone now can doubt the validity of that.

“It looked a big fire but those cars are carrying 100 kilos of fuel at that stage. I think if 100 kilos had gone up we would have had a massive fire. For me that was a fire of a few kilos of fuel.”
