Zhou Guanyu escapes serious injury after hurtling over the barrier in a horror crash at SilverstoneThe British Grand Prix was red-flagged after a horror opening-corner multi-car smash at Silverstone on Sunday, with Zhou Guanyu's Alfa Romeo flipped upside down and hurtling over the circuit's safety barrier.
Zhou's car was catapulted upside down, the Chinese rookie's head saved by his car's roll hoop-halo as it skidded off across a gravel trap and over tyre barriers into the catch fencing, where it bounced back to finish semi-upright in a stationary position. Albon was also taken to the medical centre before being transferred to Coventry Hospital by helicopter for further precautionary tracks.
This triggered Zhou's wild excursion off-circuit and dragged other cars into further less serious multiple collisions around them. The field filed back to the pits after the collision as a specialist extraction crew attended Zhou, who remained in his car, until he was lifted clear.The teams involved were all in frantic action repairing their damaged cars after the incident in preparation for a re-start.
