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

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

"It was only the next day when I asked someone to show me what it looked like t𒉰hat I realised.

"My wife was actually watching that rac🦋e with my dad 🐈and my kids. They will remember that moment their entire life.

"They were ju🅺st spectators waiting to hear so🔯mething… waiting to see something from Bahrain.

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

"I realised my left foot was stuc✃k into the chassis and I pulled as hard as I could on my left leg. My shoe stayed in the chassis but my fo💧ot 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 medical car and one fireman were trying to open a gap in the fire to help me get out.

"I believe that helped me at least tꦛo 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 th🔯ere and apart from the damage and burn it is still as it should be. I guess that saved my life."
