The chassis that saved the life of Romain Grosjean is now on display at the F1 Exhibition in London, giving fans to see the incredible piece of history up close and personal four years on.The Frenchman was tagged by Russian driver Daniil Kyvat during the opening lap of the Bahrain Grand Prix which sent his car out of control before going through a metal barrier.
However, Grosjean's crash appeared unsurvivable to terrified onlookers due to the severity of the impact paired with the amount of time he was stuck in the flame-engulfed chassis.Grosjean hit the metal barrier at 137mph which split it in two and wedged the chassis in between, with Grosjean absorbing a 67G impact.
Firstly, the incredible work of the marshalls and medical car had a huge impact on Grosjean escaping the crash as they risked their own safety attempting to extinguish the blaze, and arrived on the scene almost instantly. It only weighs around 7kg but is by far the strongest part of the modern-day F1 car and has been credited with saving Grosjean's life.There are also countless interactive zones throughout the tour, with visitors getting individual headphones to learn key facts about each exhibit.
