Well done and thank you for posting this.
Indeed it is so great to see Romain in the land of the living....it does not seem possible that he survived an appx 130 mph crash into Armco barriers resulting in a negative 50 G impact....and pierce the Armco and fatefully the survival cell stops at a place that allowed Romain to find his way out of the car....all the while with massive all-engulfing fire.
Once the post-crash report is released, it will be interesting to see if the large CF object that came off of STR's RP caused immediate deflation of the RF tire, or perhaps the object jammed under the car making the steering and braking ineffective.
From memory, GRO made a quick steering wheel input to driver's right - perhaps to distance himself from the car on the left that was just making contact with the wall and perhaps GRO sensed the car would catapult off the wall and hit GRO.
Whether GRO ever competes in F1 again is unknown, or any other formulae.
What we do know is the racing world is thankful he survived....for the sake of his children and wife.
