Romain Grosjean’s escape from his 140mph fireball inferno in Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix has been hailed as a “miracle”.

Frenchman Grosjean, 34, was involved in the most dramatic accident in recent Formula One memory after his car broke in two when it pierced through a steel barrier and burst into flames on the opening lap of Sunday’s race.
