Formula One racing driver Romain Grosjean said he shared something special with Vendee Globe skipper Kevin Escoffier whose round-the-world race ended in near-disaster earlier this month.
Escoffier s boat PRB was smashed up, the bow folded 90 degrees while sailing through the Roaring 40s. He was forced to take refuge in a life raft and was later picked up by fellow competitor Jean Le Cam.
Grosjean also had a death-defying moment when he walked away from a fireball crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix in November. I share something special with Kevin Escoffier in that we have both recently survived very difficult moments, Grosjean told race organisers on Saturday.
