Formula 1’s governing🅘 body, the FIA, has launched its investigation into Romain Grosjean’s horrific high-speed accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

Grosjean suffered a head-on crash with t﷽he Turn 3 barriers on the opening𓆏 lap of last weekend’s race in Sakhir, with his Haas car splitting into two on impact before bursting into flames.

The Frenchman miraculously escaped th🎀e scene of the accident with burns to his hands and was discharged from hospital on Wednesday after three nights while his injuries were treated.

On Thursday the FIA confirmed that it had begun its investigation into the accident, working alo♎ngside all parties involved, including the Formula 1 promoter, the Haas F1 Team and the Grand Prix Drivers’ Association (GPDA).

The FIA says the investigati🤪on will “look at all areas including competitor safety devices such as the helmet, HANS, safety harness, protective clothing, survival cell,♈ headrest, in-car extinguisher system and the Halo frontal cockpit protection.

“Analysis will also include chassis integrity and the safety barrier performance🦹 for an impact of tha🔴t energy and trajectory. It will also assess the role of the track marshals and medical intervention team.”

Data will be gathered from the various video stream🍃s, including the high speed camera equipped to all F1 cars which faces the driver, capturing 400 frames per-second to reveal in slow motion what happens during an accident.

Grosjean’s accident was believed to be clocked at 137mph and registering a force of 53G. His in-car Accident Data R♊ecorder wil🐻l reveal the speed and forces on the car, while the in-ear accelerometers worn by every driver will measure head movement in a crash.

The FIA’sꦑ investigation is expected to take around six to eight weeks before publishing a report detailing 🌸its findings.

“As with all serious✃ accidents, we will analyse every aspect of this crash and collaborate with all parties involved❀,” said FIA Safety Director Adam Baker.

“With so much data available in Formula 1, it allows✨ us to accurately determine☂ every element of what occurred and this work has already begun.

“We take this research very seriously and will follow a rigorous process to find out exactly what 𓆏happened beforeꦫ proposing potential improvements.”
