WATCH: The Tortuous Seconds Before An F1 Driver Miraculously Emerges From Bahrain Fireball Crash
Lewis Hamilton just won the Bahrain F1, however his win has been overshadowed by the miraculous escape of F1 driver Romain Grosjean.
In the heart-in-the-mouth footage, which has been viewed millions of times, you can see his car veer off track, hit the barriers and break in half on impact.
For a tortuous ten seconds, fire engulfs the car. Then, as firefighters arrive at the scene to extinguish the blaze, Grosjean emerges and looks surprisingly unharmed.
