Dramatic opening to the #BritishGP Hoping that @ZhouGuanyu24 is ok.

An FIA statement read: "We can confirm that after the red flag, several people attempted to enter the track. Next thing I know I got touched, was in the side of Zhou and that was it.

Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu was protected by the "halo" of his car at the British Grand Prix when Zhou's car flipped and skidded along the track.
"Further updates will be given in due course." Zhou's car flipped immediately after that initial contact and skidded for several hundred feet across the track and then the gravel trap before its momentum sent it hurtling over the tire barrier and into a space between the barrier and the fence. During the first lap Sunday at the British Grand Prix, Chinese Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu was involved in an intense crash that flipped his car and sent it skidding across the pavement before it flipped into a barrier against a fence.

Alex Albon, qui a été victime d'un second accident de l'autre côté de la piste, a également été pris en charge. Le contact entre Zhou et Russell a déclenché un engrenage qui a immédiatement envoyé le premier en tonneaux peu avant le premier virage. La course a immédiatement été interrompue et, à la suite d'une longue intervention des services de secours, Zhou a été extrait et évacué "conscient". "À la suite d'un accident au départ du Grand Prix de Grande-Bretagne, Zhou Guanyu est conscient et se trouve maintenant au centre médical du circuit pour subir des examens", a indiqué Alfa Romeo dans un bref communiqué.
Carlos Sainz Jr. won his his first career Formula One race on Sunday with a victory at the British Grand Prix — the most dramatic race so far this season.
Former champion Nelson Piquet used a racial slur and homophobic language to describe Hamilton, F1's only Black driver, in interviews from last year which came to wider attention this week. F1 said they were being "dealt with by the local authorities." "I gave it everything," said Hamilton, who was third in Canada two weeks ago and hoped Mercedes is on a comeback. Zhou's car flipped upside-down and cleared a tire barrier before smashing into a fence. But a safety car came out and Ferrari brought Sainz into the pits for fresher, grippier soft tires. It began with a frightening first-lap crash and ended with intense wheel-to-wheel battles for the podium positions.
