He was trapped in his car for more than 20 seconds after the smash but walked away with only burns on his hands and ankles.
Since being released from hospital on Wednesday, Grosjean has made incredible progress.
The 34-year-old returned to the site of the crash on Thursday to meet the heroes who saved his life.
And Grosjean, with both hands in bandages, stepped up his recovery as he hit the gym on Friday.
He shared a video of himself curling a small set of dumbbells with his 1.3 million followers.
Grosjean added the caption: “Work work work #roadtoAbuDhabi.”
He followed that up with a picture of himself sitting back where he belongs – in the driving seat of a Haas car.
The French driver has admitted accepting he was going to die after the crash.

But he was saved thanks to the halo cockpit canopy on his F1 car.
The halo was introduced in 2018 and while it was not universally liked, it has already saved many F1 drivers.
The super-strong structure can withstand a weight of 12,000kgs and is also used to deflect debris from striking a driver’s helmet.
