Read our privacy policy Zhou Guanyu and Alex Albon have been taken for assessment at the Formula One medical centre after a crash in the British Grand Prix. A massive coming together just seconds into the race at Silverstone involved at least six cars, with Zhou’s Alfa Romeo car flipping over. Pierre Gasly’s car appeared to touch George Russell’s, who then turned and collided with Zhou - who in turn spun away, overturned and crashed through the barriers, into a fence in midair. Both Zhou and Albon, along with Russell, were the only three drivers unable to resume the Grand Prix when it got back underway, the latter despite his protestations that he had only left the car to check on Zhou after the red flags went up.
