The Alfa Romeo driver was hit after a collision between Tsunoda and Russell, who got out of his car to attend to Zhou.

Next thing I know I got touched and was beside Zhou, and that’s it. He was taken away in an ambulance after being helped from the car. Verstappen successfully jumped pole sitter Carlos Sainz to snatch the lead, while Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton worked his way up into third.

The restart was clean but not without drama. Thanks everyone for your kind messages," Zhou tweeted after the crash "It was a very special day that I will not forget. After a pit stop and with his performance hampered, his race was effectively over much to the delight of some at Silverstone who had jeered the driver over the weekend. "I'm ok, all clear. The race had to be restarted after Zhou's car was flipped upside down and crashed into a fence having been clipped shortly after the start.

British GP: Sainz scores maiden F1 win in action-packed race (Motorsport.com, Edition: Global)

Carlos Sainz won a thrilling British Grand Prix ahead of Sergio Perez in a Formula 1 race disrupted by a horrifying first corner crash, protesters and a ...

The Haas driver had a look to the inside of Stowe with a couple of laps remaining and then nearly hit Verstappen with a bold move at the first part of Club on the final tour before backing out of certain contact at the final corner just a few moments later. Gasly was able to carry on relatively unscathed. Ocon stopped before Copse and the safety car was therefore called out, with Ferrari leaving Leclerc out on his aging hards despite appearing to have time to call him in, as it did for Sainz and Mercedes did for Hamilton. With Ferrari opting to leave things alone, Hamilton was soon homing in on the pair and was just under four seconds behind when Sainz was called in to ease Ferrari's quandary at the end of lap 20 to take the hards. After this, Leclerc edged clear to lead by just under a second, but was matching Hamilton's times up front and so on lap 33 the Briton was called in to make his switch to the hards, but a getting his used left-front medium off took slightly longer than normal and so it ended up being a 4.3s stop that meant he came out behind the two red cars. Verstappen quickly shot to a lead above one second, but his lead only lasted two laps as he was then slow through Maggotts and Becketts with what he suspected was a puncture picked up after running over the kerbs at Copse on lap 12, but which Red Bull later explained was damage to a small winglet at the rear of his car. Verstappen immediately pitted for another set of mediums, Sainz having already moved back to the lead and Leclerc threatening, with Hamilton not far behind after he had dispatched Norris into Brooklands on the lap after Perez stopped early on. That would soon mean Perez had to pit for a new wing, which released the battling Hamilton and Lando Norris, while up front Sainz had established a lead over a second by the time the DRS was activated on lap five of 52. There, with Leclerc obliged by Verstappen to take the outside line, the pair clashed lightly and the Ferrari had to take to the runoff before his right-front wing endplate, which was damaged in the earlier contact with Perez, flying off on the run to Copse and hitting the second Red Bull's front wing right-side and causing similar harm. But Leclerc sent a bold move to Perez's inside at Turn 4 and was able to force his way back to third, with the Monegasque driver then getting such good drive onto the Wellington straight he was able to attack Verstappen at Brooklands. But with Verstappen not backing down, Sainz was forced to hang on around the outside of Abbey but did so to thrillingly retain the lead, with Leclerc again making a slow getaway behind the two leaders, this time with Perez getting by off the line. As Leclerc was making an attempt to get back ahead of the Mercedes through Village and the Loop a couple of corners later, the race was red-flagged due to the multi-car pile-up behind the leaders at Abbey.

F1 Grand Prix race results: Sainz wins wild British GP (autosport.com)

Carlos Sainz won a thrilling British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, overcoming his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc to score his first Formula 1 win.

The race was decided with a frantic 10-lap dash to the finish. Hamilton finally made the move for third stick into Stowe using DRS. Ferrari swapped its cars over on lap 31, with minimal protest from Sainz as he couldn’t hit the target laptime being asked of him. In a wild restart, Sainz passed Leclerc for the win, with Red Bull’s Sergio Perez surging up to second, ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes after some amazingly close racing. Meantime, Tsunoda spun into his team-mate Gasly at Village, relegating both AlphaTauris from the points and getting himself a penalty. The shunt was triggered when Pierre Gasly’s AlphaTauri was pinched between Zhou and George Russell (Mercedes), the latter spinning into Zhou’s right-rear tyre and sending him flying.

Pérez fought with Leclerc and Hamilton brilliantly ducked up the inside of the pair of them on the final corner but could not hold the place as they came back at him at Village and he dropped once more to fourth. Hamilton had pushed hard and pitted on lap 34, the stop was slow – four seconds – and he emerged in third behind Sainz and six seconds off Leclerc. However Verstappen then slowed and believed he had a puncture as Sainz re-passed again through Stowe and the Dutchman had to pit for new rubber. That Zhou was relatively unharmed was a testament to the safety standards of the modern cars. The race was almost immediately stopped after a multi-car shunt involved Zhou’s Alfa Romeo suffering a high-speed impact with the barriers, in which his car was flipped and came to a halt between the armco barrier and the catch fencing and it took time to extract him. It was Sainz’s first F1 win on the occasion of his 150th race and could not have been a more gripping affair.

Zhou escapes serious injury after massive Silverstone F1 Turn 1 crash (autosport.com)

Alfa Romeo's Zhou Guanyu has escaped serious injury following a terrifying Turn 1 incident that forced the Formula 1 British Grand Prix to be red-flagged.

Zhou was extracted from the car and taken to the track’s medical centre. The Alfa Romeo team later told Zhou's team-mate Valtteri Bottas: "Zhou is conscious, he is talking, there are no fractures. Russell later stopped at the first corner with his left rear tyre having been detached from the wheel.

Sainz Jr. wins 1st career F1 race with British GP victory | CBC Sports (CBC.ca)

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.

Zhou Guanyu credited the F1 halo with saving the life of the Alfa Romeo driver after a frightening first-lap crash in the British Grand Prix.

Obviously gutted to end the race this way and I'm sorry for the team and the fans. That was a scary incident and all credit to the marshals and medical team for their quick response. The group also tried to disrupt some Premier League soccer games in England in recent months. It was stuck between the tire wall and the fence, delaying efforts to extricate Zhou. Alex Albon of Williams also was taken to the medical center, and his team later said he’d been transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for a precautionary check. Zhou’s car slid upside-down across the gravel and his Alfa Romeo seemed to be wedged between fencing and a tire barrier at the first corner.

Fans at Silverstone watched the Ferrari driver hold onto his victory as a three-way battle ensued behind him late in the incident-packed grand prix.

And there’s no doubt we had the pace to come back to P6 today.” After barrel-rolling over the barrier, Zhou was stuck between the metal fence and tire barriers, a narrow gap with nowhere to go. The rookie and Williams driver Alex Albon, who was involved in a separate wreck, were both sent to the medical care center. “I don’t want the focus to be pointed towards my disappointing race but more towards his incredible race win and obviously a first win in Formula 1 is always extremely special. Pierre Gasly was between Russell and Zhou, but as the gap started to disappear, the AlphaTauri driver pulled back. Sainz was brought in for softs, and Leclerc commented over the radio how it would be “hard” to chase cars on soft tires in the closing stages. Binotto felt that the team’s strategy calls were “the right and proper ones at each single time,” and the only possible miscue was Leclerc staying out. “I’ve always been a team player, I will always be a team player and especially in Ferrari, I know the team is in front of me and my personal interests. “I gave myself the best chance to stay ahead, by pushing as much as I could, but to a point that I was destroying so much my front tire that it made total sense for Charles to go through, and I let him by as soon as the team told me to do so,” Sainz said. “Then we were hoping for more tire degradation on the softs, to give Charles, yeah, maybe a difficult three or four laps initially but then recovering later on, but the soft didn’t degrade as we were hoping.” Leclerc, who was the race leader, remained out on his hard tires—the only driver to still have them on when the rest of the field emerged. “I needed to stay in the race like I was trying to and then all of a sudden the safety car gave me the opportunity to get back on it.

F1 British Grand Prix: What is halo and how does it save lives? (BBC News)

Driver Zhou Guanyu says the halo device saved his life after a horror crash at Silverstone on Sunday.

"The other argument was whether it was affecting the driver's visibility, looking out of the cockpit. He says he is the latest in a series of drivers to be saved by the halo safety device. But it quickly proved its worth when it was introduced in 2018, following a campaign by the late FIA F1 director Charlie Whiting and the Grand Prix Drivers' Association. But a few years later Hamilton said it had saved his life in his crash at the Italian Grand Prix in 2021. After years of research it was found to be the only device that successfully passed the test of deflecting a wheel fired at it at 150mph. Halo is a wishbone-shaped titanium bar that sits on top of the cockpit of the car and wraps around the driver's head.

Scars of Zhou's monster crash revealed; Aussie rising star gets first win: F1 Pit Talk.

“This is everything that wanted to make me join,” he told the In the Fast Lane podcast earlier this year. He easily established a lead early in the race, though as the track dried he was reeled back in by DAMS F2 rookie Ayumu Iwasa, whose wet-weather tyres were in better shape at the end of the no-stop race. It’s a timely marker of progress in his maiden campaign in the category and a sign that his sudden change of plans this year are paying dividends. Vips already made his practice debut with Red Bull Racing in Spain. Doohan started the sprint race fourth but made short work of Juri Vips, Enzo Fittipaldi and then Jehan Daruvala to take the lead in treacherously wet conditions. The car’s roll hoop will undoubtedly be a key area of interest, although it’s worth noting that the halo is rated to withstand a greater vertical impact than the roll hoop, which might go part of the way to explaining why one withstood the crash and not the other.
