Red flag at the Silverstone Grand Prix.
The fastest race of the season was stopped before the end of the first lap in Great Britain.
Chinese driver Guanyu Zhou was the victim of a pile-up from the start.
Hit on the side, it then went into the gravel trap… On the roof before hitting the safety fence!
The images are terrible and send shivers down your spine.
The Chinese remained stuck in the cockpit for long minutes.
According to information from the medical department at Silverstone, Guanyu Zhou was moving before being removed from his Alfa Romeo.
Placed on a stretcher, the Chinese pilot was evacuated to the medical center.
He owes his life to his halo, a safety device imposed in Formula 1 since 2018.
This is the second big crash of the weekend at Silverstone.
Drivers Dennis Hauger and Roy Nissany collided violently this Sunday during the British Grand Prix in Formula 2. A spectacular crash that ended well.
