Formula One driver Romain Grosjean has shared photos of the burns to his right hand sustained in his horror crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Grosjean crashed with the steel barrier on the first lap of the November 29 race, causing his car to split in half and burst into flames.
Miraculously, despite being trapped inside the burning vehicle for 28 seconds, the Frenchman escaped mostly unscathed apart from burns to both of his hands.
"Bloody hell, makes me super happy to have my right hand free from dressings," he said. "Waiting for my left hand to recover now."
