The Miracle Happens Forum 1 pilot escapes after his car explodes in flames

Haa's pilot, Rome's Grosean, has managed to get away miraculously from a big crash in Forum 1 in Bahrain GP.

Just moments after the race began, the Frenchman's car came off track at turn three.

Apparently out of control, she flew to the side, with a huge explosion and images of the consequences indicate that the current car was split in half by the crash.

There was an instant red flag, and the race was banned.

Fortunately, Grosean was able to leave the crash, get out of the car and join the medical team.

He has now been sent for a medical assessment, and Haas F1's team has reported that he has small burns in his hands and wrists, but otherwise he's fine.
