Look mum, no (bandaged) hands

-

French driver Romain Grosjean showed his hands finally free of bandages yesterday, six weeks after he clambered from the wreckage of his car in a horrific fireball accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The 34yearold, who has now left Formula One, suffered burns to both hands when his Haas car split in two and erupted in flames after piercing a metal crash barrier.

He has been recovering at home in Switzerlan­d since leaving hospital three days after the accident, missing the last two races of 2020.

‘‘Dressing fully off and Petrus happy,’’ he said on Twitter above a picture of him cradling the family pet cat and another close up of his hands.

The father of three had the dressings on his right hand removed last month.
