'Hero' Haas F1 driver Romain Grosjean turns back home intruders in Geneva

Haas F1 Team driver Romain Grosjean entertained some uninvited guests in Geneva earlier this week.

Haas F1 Team driver Romain Grosjean endured an ordeal at home after returning from the Canadian Grand Prix.

On social media, his wife, Marion, — a former F1 anchor for French television — declared the Haas driver a “hero” for scaring off two intruders who had broken into their home at night in Geneva.

“Sportsmen are often called heroes,” she said. “I never agreed with that word, but today I can say that my husband is both a sportsman and a hero.”

Les sportifs ne sont pas des héros. Ils embellissent le monde, c’est déjà beaucoup.@RGrosjean est les deux. Merci mon amour de t’être précipité face aux cambrioleurs cette nuit, pour protéger ta famille. Je tremble encore. Les héros doivent être connus. Je vis avec l’un d’eux. pic.twitter.com/mBoT8bi6oK

Both Marion and 33-year-old Grosjean shared photos online of their French doors, which had been smashed open.

“Romain did not hesitate to leap in front of (the intruders) to stop them and protect his family,” Marion said. “Luckily no one was injured and our children will never know of the fright that was caused.”

Grosjean added, “Luckily they ran away when I went into the corridor. Not the best feeling ever, but we are all safe.”
