“I'm just letting you know that I'm okay after my race one incident,” Grant said on social media after theඣ crash on Saturday.

"Thank you to everyone that's been sending me really lovely messages. I really appreciat♛e it.

"I'm very grateful for the Halo style system. B🦄ecause of the Halo system I was able to get out without there being an issue with the fire because the fire was ins🎉ide the car as well and I could see it.

Bu♕stamante, who ༒was briefly beneath Grant’s airborne car, said via her own socials: “The Halo saved my life.”

Halo is a safety devi🐻ce - a titanium bar which curves around a driver's head while in the car 𓆉- which was made mandatory in F1 from 2018.

It has since been credited with saving the ⛦lives of multiple drivers.

Last year at Silverstone, Guanyu Zhou thanked Halo for keeping him safe after ☂a terrifying crash.
