A rough translation by myself for people that don't speak French or are geoblocked :
Interviewer : Romain you do remember every single moment, right? We often praised your excellent physical condition which helped you stay conscious. Do you remember everything?
Grosjean : Yes. Everything. I remember the impact, despite the shocking figures, 53G, but for me it didn't seem that violent. I remember undoing my seatbelt, trying to get out of the car, finding out I'm stuck. I said to myself "Well I must be upside down no problem they will come and get me" so I sat down again. I waited a bit, looked at my left a saw a big orange color, and at first I didn't understood what that was. Then I realized there was fire, tried to get out from the right, didn't manage to, tried to get out from the left and didn't managed to so I sat down once again. I thought of Niki Lauda, sweared a bit thinking that it can't end like this, that's not possible, my last race can't be this. I sat down again and saw death, thought "this is it, I'm going to die", and my body relaxed at that moment, accepting my fate, asking myself from which side I am going to burn first, will it be hurtful? I had that thought for my kids, pulled as much as I could my left foot to try and unstuck it, that's why my shoe fell of and I managed to free my foot. I turned my head, tried to put my hands in the fire, and I saw my gloves, which are normally red turning black from burning. I obviously felt the pain in my hands, managed to pull my head out, then my torso and at the time I freed my torso I know I am going to live. My hands are burned yes but I am out of here. I then felt Ian Roberts's hand pulling the top of my overall to make me come down on the right side of the rail. I have no idea whereas I am on fire or not, he taps my back so I don't know if I am a human fireball walking or if there isn't any fire anymore. I shook my hands, felt they were burned, removed my gloves quickly as to prevent my skin from sticking to them if they are... You know the image of the skin detaching. So I removed both of my gloves instantly, my feet hurt, it was almost there that I felt the most pain at that moment. I arrived at the safety car, the medical car, the doctor talked to me, I sat down and they told me "the ambulance is there we will put you on the stretcher". I told them "no, I want to go by foot, I want the helicopter to film those images of me walking towards the ambulance to show everyone I am ok". I surely have wounds but I am able to walk, I was still in control on that side. Then the pain started to intensify and to hurt. I arrived at the medical center, saw Jean Todt, who asked me my wife's number. We tried to call Marion, one of the only number I know by heart. I give him the number, we try to call, she doesn't answer, and Jean tried and tried and tried again until I hear him say "Marion it's Jean Todt, I'm with Romain!". He puts the phone on speaker and I remember saying "mosquito it's me I'm here". I hear Marion on the other side bursting in laughter, crying at the same time, I heard my dad behind and my kids. They knew I was here, conscious and alive.
It's worth noting that he tells almost all of the story in one phrase, and I didn't manage to transcribe the emotion that it conveys, almost as if he was living all the story again as he told it.
