Alfa Romeo Formula 1 driver was miraculously unhurt and is cleared to drive this weekend in Austria.
Zhou Guanyu says he was worried about fire while stuck in his overturned Alfa Romeo following his crash on the first lap of last weekend’sThe 23-year-old, Formula 1’s first Chinese driver, was having his strongest weekend in the series since debuting and had qualified an impressive ninth at Silverstone. That was before what can only be described as a death-defying crash that ended his race on Sunday.
Guanyu said that the initial concern was of his hands “because you never know, you can break your hands very easily” in such an accident, before bracing for the accident to come. As it does with any serious incident, the FIA’s Safety department will launch an investigation into the accident, with focus expected to be placed on why the roll hoop appeared to fail, and why the car was able to vault the tire barrier.“With that first impact, when I landed on the first flip, the team is still doing the first investigation,” Guanyu said. “I think the first hit was much harder than what they investigated through the safety test, a few times harder than the numbers than we want.
