SILVERSTONE, England -- The British Grand Prix was suspended before the end of the first lap after two huge collisions involving multiple drivers on the pit straight resulted in Zhou Guanyu's Alfa Romeo ending up on the wrong side of the tyre barriers at Turn 1.
Emergency crews were immediately in attendance, with Zhou and Williams driver Alex Albon being taken to the medical centre for checks. Both drivers were conscious after the incident, but further details of their condition were not immediately available.
A replay showed Pierre Gasly being pinched between George Russell on one side and Zhou on the other, with contact between Gasly and Russell pitching the Mercedes of Russell into Zhou's Alfa Romeo.
