The crowd gathered around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s victory podium following Saturday’s GMR Grand Prix was cheering wildly for an NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver.

車迷們爭相擁向本站印第GP的領(lǐng)獎臺，大家歡呼雀躍，只為一睹這位Indycar車手的風(fēng)采。

Only in this case, the driver wasn’t the race winner; it was the second-place finisher.

只不過這次，大家不是沖著冠軍來的，而是一位亞軍獲得者。

Most motorsports fans know where Romain Grosjean was six months ago, painfully extricating himself from a burning Formula One car at the Bahrain circuit. It was frightening, and it was emotional for all of those who viewed the nearly three-minute ordeal in real time.?

大多數(shù)車迷都知道，六個月前的羅曼·格羅斯讓都經(jīng)歷了什么。法國車手忍著燒傷帶來的劇痛，掙扎著從巴林賽道邊熊熊燃燒的賽車?yán)锾映錾?。這場面可怕極了，尤其對那些透過直播觀看到全過程的人們來說，更是百感交集。

The positive attitude Grosjean has responded with has earned him a legion of supporters, and many of them were in the throng yelling his name Saturday.

格羅斯讓對待事故和傷病的積極態(tài)度，為他贏得了大票支持者，其中不少人就在周六臺下高呼著法國人的名字。

“People have been very good to me,” he said. “I’m very grateful for all of the support for me and my family.”

“大家對我真是太好了，”格羅斯讓說，“能得到人們這樣的支持，我和我的家人都十分感激?！?/p>

Everything about Grosjean’s U.S. experience seems to be going well, with a pole and a podium in this event, and a top-10 finish in the season-opening race at Barber Motorsports Park. But most of all, he is having fun for the first time since 2013 when he scored six F1 podiums for the Lotus team.

在阿拉巴馬揭幕戰(zhàn)闖入前十，又在本站拿下桿位，勇奪亞軍之后，格羅斯讓的美國之旅看上去一切順利。不過最重要的是，自從2013年為蓮花六次站上領(lǐng)獎臺之后，法國人再次感受到了比賽的樂趣。

“Leading (44) laps,” he said of the best part of being in INDYCAR. “I love driving the car. Even in the warm-up this morning, (the crew) said you can pit for some changes, and I said, ‘No, I’m not pitting.’ I was just happy to be out there and pushing and learning the car.

“領(lǐng)先的那44圈?！痹诒粏柤白钕矚g比賽的哪部分時，格羅斯讓如是說?！拔覑垴{駛這輛賽車的感覺，即便是早上的熱身賽也是如此。車隊(duì)告訴我，我可以進(jìn)站求變，但我告訴他們，’不，我不進(jìn)。’我在外面正開得興起，不斷學(xué)習(xí)將賽車推向極限呢?！?/p>

“I’m having a great time. The atmosphere between the drivers is excellent. We’re joking and having fun. It is super competitive on the track but as soon as you remove your helmet, it’s like good friendship between the drivers, which, surprisingly, you don’t find anywhere else. I love that part.”

“我現(xiàn)在感覺棒棒噠。車手之間的氛圍簡直沒得說，我們經(jīng)常一起開玩笑取樂。賽道上大家爭得你死我活，頭盔摘掉后就秒變好朋友。你找不到其他類似的比賽了，這蠻讓人驚訝的，我喜歡這感覺。
