Romain Grosjean’s Near-Death Experience on the Track: From Bahrain Crash to Watkins Glen Overheating Drama

Former F1 driver Romain Grosjean found himself in another intense situation this past weekend at Watkins Glen, where he participated in the IMSA race. Grosjean, now racing in IMSA, joked about his infamous Bahrain 2020 crash after his stint at Watkins Glen, where he teamed up with Daniil Kvyat for Riley Motorsport’s Six Hours at the Glen.

Grosjean, known for his terrifying crash in Bahrain that ended his F1 career, faced a different kind of challenge at Watkins Glen. Despite leading the race in the GTP class, Grosjean’s physical condition deteriorated due to the lack of cooling in his Lamborghini and a failed drinks system in the car.

After a strenuous stint behind the wheel, Grosjean appeared visibly exhausted and overheated, reminiscent of the traumatic Bahrain crash where his car split in half. However, this time it was due to the scorching conditions inside the Lamborghini at Watkins Glen.

Reflecting on his performance, Grosjean expressed pride in his achievements during the race, highlighting the strategic decisions made by Riley Motorsport and his ability to lead laps in the competition. Despite facing challenges with the car’s cooling system and weather conditions, Grosjean remained competitive and determined to showcase his skills on the track.

Despite the setbacks and obstacles, Grosjean’s passion for racing remains unwavering, setting the stage for a compelling comeback story in the world of motorsport.
