Red flag at the Silverstone Grand Prix.
The fastest Grand Prix of the season was stopped before the end of the first round of the Silverstone Grand Prix in Great Britain.
While Max Verstappen got the better of poleman Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) and Lewis Hamilton at the end of the first corner, a huge pileup occurred with the following cars.
Approaching the first corner, La Mercedes de Russell swerved.
The Briton therefore hit Tsunoda who also hit Zhou.
It then went into the gravel trap… On the roof before hitting the safety fence!
The pictures are terrible and chill without the back.
The Chinese remained stuck in the cockpit for long minutes.
According to information from the medical department at Silverstone, Guanyu Zhou is moving and has been removed from his Alfa Romeo.
Placed on a stretcher, the Chinese pilot is ready to be evacuated to the medical center.
His teammate Valtteri Bottas received radio reports confirming that Zhou was fine.
Involved in the big pileup, the Thai Alexander Albon also went to the hospital.
In addition, the FIA announced that the beginning of the invasion of the track had taken place at the time of the red flag, but all the protagonists were arrested.
