The fact that Romain Grosjean looked death in the eye during his horror crash last year will not surprise anyone. However, a documentary has released images of an animated reconstruction of the accident, which really shows how close he was.
The French Canal+ F1 released a documentary about Romain Grosjean today. The documentary also includes a simulation of the moment of the accident, reconstructing what happened.

The impressive footage can be seen below.
