it'll be a beautiful experience and I'm very lucky to have it." Grosjean will test the car at his home track in France "It's a good way to say goodbye to my fans. He added that doing the test in his home country, at a track where last year's French Grand Prix had to be cancelled as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, would be a "very special day", with a limited number of fans set to attend. "The most important thing is I can play with my kids, I can cuddle them and I can drive a racing car." "I worked very quickly after the crash with my psychologist and when I jumped back in a racing car, it felt normal I felt home. "I was well aware that my hands were burning and I knew it was get out or die but I managed to get out and since then I'm very happy nowadays," he added. Grosjean said the thought of his three children potentially growing up without a father gave him an "extra piece of power and energy to jump out" of the car.
The 35-year-old suffered serious burns to his hands when his Haas car split the crash barrier in Bahrain, but has recovered full fitness and has switched to the US-based Ind圜ar series this year. "It's rare you get the chance to drive a world champion Formula 1 car for fun and for pleasure - that's going to be super cool." Grosjean was in the inferno for several seconds before he managed to extricate himself "When I was in my hospital bed in pain, I cherished that a lot and I'm very thankful and grateful for the opportunity.
"While I was in the hospital, I read that Toto Wolff said he was happy to give me a day in the car if I could make it back. "I didn't want to finish on that crash," Grosjean told BBC Breakfast. The move honours a pledge made by team boss Toto Wolff as it became clear the crash would end Grosjean's F1 career.
The Frenchman said getting back in an F1 car was "a special opportunity".
