The 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix has been included on the list of nominees in the Sport category alongside England V France: The Final of Autumn Nations Cup, England v West Indies Test Cricket and the 2020 London Marathon, with the winners announced on 6 June.Last year’s Bahrain GP was remembered best for Romain Grosjean’s huge fiery that caused the race to be suspended on the opening lap as the Haas driver speared into the barriers at Turn 3.The force of the 119mph, 67G impact with the barriers caused Grosjean’s car to split in two before it quickly became engulfed in flames.Miraculously, the 34-year-old Frenchman was able to escape his wrecked Haas after spending 27 seconds in the blaze.Grosjean spent three days in hospital in Bahrain for treatment to burn injuries sustained to his hands before he was discharged to continue his rehabilitation from his home in Switzerland.XPB_1071337_HiRes.jpg The 10-time podium finisher was forced to miss what was supposed to be the final two races of his F1 career as a result of his injuries. After leaving F1 at the end of 2020, Grosjean has since made his racing comeback in the IndyCar series in America.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Turkey replaces cancelled Canadian GP on 2021 F1 calendar accImages.createImage(); Williams family should have sold F1 team sooner – LoweF1 has been victorious at the BAFTAs before, with ITV picking up three straight wins for its coverage of the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix, 2007 Canadian Grand Prix and 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix.BBC Sport also won a BAFTA for its coverage of the 2010 title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.The nominees in our Sport categoryBahrain Grand PrixEngland V France: The Final of Autumn Nations CupEngland V West Indies Test CricketLondon Marathon 2020#VirginMediaBAFTAs EfE8SZdGvR— BAFTA (@BAFTA) April 28, 2021Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); Norris eyes more F1 fights with Mercedes & Red Bull in Portuguese GPaccImages.createImage(); Norris eyes more F1 fights with Mercedes & Red Bull in Portuguese GP
