Haas driver Romain Grosjean has managed to walk away from a huge crash in the Formula One Bahrain GP.
Just moments after the start of the race, the Frenchman's car started sparking and went off the track at turn three. Apparently out of control, it flew into the sidings, with a large explosion - and images of the aftermath show that the actual car split in two from the collision.
There was immediately a red flag and the race was brought to a stop.
