Lewis Hamilton in disagreement with Max Verstappen over Romain Grosjean horror crash


Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen clashed over their opinions on the Bahrain Grand Prix 2020. Romain Grosjean crashed on the first lap in one of the worst incidents in recent memory. His car split in two and melted the metal barrier it collided with as the vehicle was engulfed in flames within moments. Grosjean miraculously managed to walk away from the crash with minor injuries.

Lewis Hamilton disputed Max Verstappen’s verdict on Romain Grosjean’s crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday, when the Red Bull driver said it shouldn’t be up to drivers to decide whether it was safe to carry on the race after a bad incident.

The Frenchman crashed in the first lap of the race with his car going up in flames within moments.

With a tank full of petrol, the vehicle melted through the metal barrier that Grosjean collided with as his car was split into two.

Miraculously, the 34-year-old emerged from the flames and was taken to hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

The race went on and Hamilton went on to win comfortably, with Verstappen coming in at second.

Grosjean’s crash was extensively covered in the press conference and the issue arose over whether drivers should be allowed to decide whether or not they want to continue after witnessing such an event.

Hamilton said: “I don’t think so. We’re not the safety regulators.

“We’re here to do a job and we rely on the FIA who are aware of safety and we trust them implicitly so no, I do not think so.”

The idea was given a rousing seal of disapproval from Verstappen, who insisted he would not stand for any driver that refused to do their job if he was the team boss.

“I don’t get why you wouldn’t race. If I would be the team boss I would kick him out of the seat,” the Red Bull star said.

“If the guy wouldn’t race, if I would be the team boss, I would tell him ‘then you never sit in the seat again.”

Hamilton looked somewhat surprised with his rival, replying in jest: “I hope you’re not my team boss.”

Grosjean is set to be released from hospital today but has been ruled out of the next race.

Test and reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi, grandson of Brazil’s double world champion Emerson Fittipaldi, will take his place for Haas at the Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain next weekend.

“After it was decided that the best thing for Romain was to skip at least one race, the choice to put Pietro in the car was pretty easy,” said the team principal, Guenther Steiner.

“Pietro will drive the VF-20 and he’s familiar with us having been around the team. It’s the right thing to do and it’s obviously a good opportunity for him.

“He’s been patient and was always prepared for this opportunity – and now it has come. That’s why we want him in the car and I’m sure he’ll do a good job.”
