Those who follow Formula 1 will remember the horrifying crash that Haas driver Romain Grosjean experienced during the Bahrain Grand Prix back in 2020. The driver clipped a rival car and torpedoed into a safety barrier at such speed that he went through the barrier, all while the car split in two and ignited. It was an incident that terrified viewers, but one that ultimately Grosjean walked away from without serious injuries thanks to the safety precautions that F1 employs in this era.

That wrecked chassis has been kept under wraps for three years since the incident, but that will soon be changing, as Sky Sports reports that the car will be going on show at an F1 Exhibit in Madrid, Spain.

It's also noted that the exhibit will feature unseen footage from the crash as well, allowing visitors to get an even better idea of what Grosjean experienced during the high-speed incident.

As for when you can look to see the car in-person, the exhibit is slated to open on March 24, with the show also taking a look at the past, present, and future of the motorsport.
