ROMAIN GROSJEAN has said without the halo device on his car, which he was against introducing, he would not be alive today.

Grosjean will miss this weekend’s Sakhir Grand Prix following the burn injuries sustained in his terrifying 140mph fireball crash at Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

The French driver’s car split in two and burst into flames after he pierced through a steel barrier at 137mph following a collision with AlphaTauri’s Daniil Kvyat.
