How did Romain Grosjean learn from Niki Lauda's 1976 German Grand Prix incident?

The 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix race won by Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, was headlined by the huge opening lap incident involving Haas driver Romain Grosjean, who survived from the incident after hitted the barrier heavily. The French driver is currently hospitalized for further treatment in the hospital near Sakhir circuit. 

Grosjean's incident at Sakhir reminds F1 fans to what similarly happened to Niki Lauda in the 1976 German Grand Prix, when Lauda was stuck in his burned car, and later being saved by three drivers (including Guy Edwards and Brett Lunger) who saved him (Lauda). Because of major injuries sustained in that incident, Lauda then missed two races before returning at Italian Grand Prix.

The 'halo' in most recent F1 cockpit has successfully saved Grosjean's life. He instantly got out from his burned car soon after he knew his car being burned. From this case, I think Grosjean had learnt from Lauda's 1976 incident.

Get well soon Romain! Wishing you a fully recovery!
