Romain Grosjean condition: Jolles' pens emotional tribute to F1 star

In the aftermath of the crash, Marion wrote an emotional statement on her Instagram account, thanking her children, who pushed Romain Grosjean to pull himself out of the fire. The 38-year-old paid tribute to the healthcare and rescue workers writing that it did not take one but several miracles to save her husband. Finally, she hailed praise on the Haas F1 star, lauding his courage, determination, strength, love and his physical training that kept him alive despite the horror crash. 

Marion hailed Grosjean as a superhero, who escaped from his burning car with a little more than burns on the top of his hands. Romain Grosjean is currently hospitalised but is likely to be discharged at some point on Tuesday. The 34-year-old had earlier released a video where he told his well-wishers he was okay, while his hands were heavily bandaged as he recovered from his burns. Pietro Fittipaldi will replace Grosjean at the Sakhir Grand Prix, a second successive race in Bahrain but this time staged on a different configuration.
