The burnt-out remnants of the VF-20 chassis will be displayed as part of the F1 Exhibition experienc🔴e in Madrid next month. 

Reflecting on his crash in an interview with the F1 Exhibition team, Grosjean said: “From my point of view, it was a big accident but I didn't realise the impa🍸ct or how violent it was from the outside. 

"It was only the next day when I asked someone to show m🏅e what it looked like thꦆat I realised.

"My wife was actually 🧸watching that race with my dad and my kids. They will remember that moment their entire life.

"They were just spectators wait🅠ing to hear something… waiting to see something from Bahrain.

"I had to break the headrest, punching it with my helmet and then I eventually managed to get my helmet through and 𝄹stand up in the seat.

"I realised my left foo꧙t was stuck into the chassis and I pulled as hard as I could on my left leg. My shoe stayed in the chassis but my foot came loose so I was free to exit the car.

"It was 120 kilos of fuel plus the battery - both were on fire. Dr Jan Roberts, Alan from the medic🍷al car and one fireman were trying to open a gap in the fire to help me gꦓet out.

"I believe that helped me at least to get a vision of where I had to go and where🌠 the exit was.

"The survival cell is there for you in case of a huge impact. I was intact inside the shell. The chassis is still in one piece, the halo is there and apart from the damage and burn it is still as it should be. I guess ⛎that saved my life."
