‘Super Romain’ was saved by ‘miracles’

ROMAIN GROSJEAN’S wife Marion said it took ‘not one miracle but several’ to keep her ‘superhero’ husband alive following his terrifying 140mph fireball crash.

The French television personality also thanked the couple’s three children for metaphorically pushing their father to safety.

Grosjean, 34, spent a second night in hospital with burn injuries sustained to his hands but he is expected to be released today.

The Haas driver has already been ruled out of this weekend’s Sakhir Grand Prix at the same Bahraini venue where he almost lost his life.

‘Of course, I didn’t sleep last night,’ wrote Grosjean’s wife, who watched the shocking events from the family’s Geneva home.

‘I don’t want to lie, the words aren’t coming easily. That will make him laugh, he who knows how much I like to talk. And I didn’t know what photo to post. Which image to keep from yesterday? The flames? Him, held by the arms by his saviours? The wreckage?’

She picked a snap of the couple enjoying success earlier in his career: ‘I’ve chosen this one, a bit stupidly. Because we’re both wearing the same T-shirt of his GP2 title.

‘I would have preferred if it to have the word “superhero” on it rather than “champion” – but if we have to, we’ll have it custom-made. For the children, because that’s how we explained the inexplicable.

‘On Twitter, I used useful words, urgent words, to protect them above all. I mentioned the “shield of love” that protected him.

‘Thank you to our children, who pushed him to pull himself out of the fire. Thank you to his courage, his determination, his strength, his love, his physical training that probably kept him alive. It didn’t take one miracle but several.’
