Bahrain, 29 November 2020: Romain Grosjean suffered one of the most terrifying accidents of the decade in Formula One. While his wife Marion watched helplessly as the drama unfolded thousands of kilometres away, the trapped French driver fought alone to save his life. But giving up was never in his vocabulary. For a long time, he had had to demonstrate self-denial to keep his place among the twenty best drivers in the world. He had also had to learn, to his cost, to circulate in a microcosm where politics and money sometimes trample sporting values. In this unique autobiography, interspersed with the moving comments of his wife, Romain recalls his accident, his childhood, his family and his career. Because looking death in the eye changes one’s view of the world. Returning to competition despite the after-effects, he became a symbol of resilience and courage.
