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.

车迷们争相拥向本站印第GP的领奖台，大家欢呼雀跃，只为一睹这位Indycar车手的风采。

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

只不过这次，大家不是冲着冠军来的，而是一位亚军获得者。

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. 

大多数车迷都知道，六个月前的罗曼·格罗斯让都经历了什么。法国车手忍着烧伤带来的剧痛，挣扎着从巴林赛道边熊熊燃烧的赛车里逃出生天。这场面可怕极了，尤其对那些透过直播观看到全过程的人们来说，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.

格罗斯让对待事故和伤病的积极态度，为他赢得了大票支持者，其中不少人就在周六台下高呼着法国人的名字。

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

“大家对我真是太好了，”格罗斯让说，“能得到人们这样的支持，我和我的家人都十分感激。”

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.

在阿拉巴马揭幕战闯入前十，又在本站拿下杆位，勇夺亚军之后，格罗斯让的美国之旅看上去一切顺利。不过最重要的是，自从2013年为莲花六次站上领奖台之后，法国人再次感受到了比赛的乐趣。

“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.

“领先的那44圈。”在被问及最喜欢比赛的哪部分时，格罗斯让如是说。“我爱驾驶这辆赛车的感觉，即便是早上的热身赛也是如此。车队告诉我，我可以进站求变，但我告诉他们，’不，我不进。’我在外面正开得兴起，不断学习将赛车推向极限呢。”

“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.”

“我现在感觉棒棒哒。车手之间的氛围简直没得说，我们经常一起开玩笑取乐。赛道上大家争得你死我活，头盔摘掉后就秒变好朋友。你找不到其他类似的比赛了，这蛮让人惊讶的，我喜欢这感觉。
