French Formula One driver Romain Grosjean was involved in a nasty high-impact crash at the Russian Grand Prix overnight.
On lap 12, Grosjean lost control of his Lotus and hurtled into the barriers at high speed, wrecking the car. Despite the violence of the impact, Grosjean was uninjured.
"I knew it was going to be a big hit, tensed my muscles and closed my eyes waiting for it to be over." he said to Sky Sports F1.
"It is not the best feeling in the world, but I am so happy that the safety is so good in Formula 1 you can have a big shunt and come here and talk," uttered Grosjean.
Feeling ok after one of the biggest shunts of my career. Feeling sorry for the guys and the lost points... #RussiaGPpic.twitter.com/uPthKv9ARS
