Zhou Guanyu recounts his horror crash at Silverstone. ✍️ Formula_Nerds It is such a relief to see him in full health and back in the car at the AustrianGP F1
Alfa Romeo rookie Guanyu Zhou says he “didn’t realise” that his horrific crash at turn one inThe Chinese driver’s car was flipped over after making contact with Mercedes driver George Russell, seconds after the lights went out at the British Grand Prix.
“Obviously when the flip happened, the first thing I was trying to do was trying to release my hand off the steering wheel,” he explained.“The next thing I tried to do, while I was just rolling on the ground, I knew I’ll be facing a massive impact coming up, because the car wasn’t stopping. And then I tried to lock myself in a position that is the safest possible, just waiting for that last impact.
“So I just tried to switch the engine off, because the engine was still on by then. Because I knew if a fire starts, it will be difficult to get out. “I didn’t know what happened, who hit me, because I was going straight next to the white line before Turn 1, and then suddenly there was a massive shunt,” he said.
