SILVERSTONE, England (AP) — Zhou Guanyu was involved in a frightening first-lap crash Sunday that brought the British Grand Prix to an immediate halt as ...

The incident was reminiscent of a crash in F1 involving Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton at the Italian Grand Prix last year. It was stuck between the tire wall and the fence, delaying efforts to extricate Zhou. Alex Albon of Williams was also taken to the medical center and then his team said he'd been transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for a precautionary check. The group said that five of its activists reached the track. 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. Russell appeared to be hit from behind at the start and was knocked into Zhou, whose car went flying across a gravel trap and over a tire wall into the retaining fence.

The Alfa Romeo driver was forced out of Sunday's race early after a crash on the opening lap.

Alfa Romeo later announced the rookie driver was in “pretty good” shape and did not sustain any fractures. Thankfully, the 23-year-old later confirmed on Twitter that he avoided serious injury after being evaluated at the medical care center. “Halo saved me today.

The halo is a device used to protect drivers who race in open-wheel racing series. He didn't mind, however, as his No. 1 concern at the time was Zhou's health. The measure was originally met with criticism from fans of the sport and its drivers, too. What is the halo and how did it help Zhou? Here's what to know about it. The crash caused Zhou's car to roll over and spin like a top on the track. A red flag was waved immediately after the crash.

Then that was followed by a continuous longitudinal load as it scraped along the track. In all circumstances, the choice of a blade roll structure has been favoured over a traditional hoop owing to two factors: aerodynamic gains and weight. All teams have to go through the crash tests on this before their cars are allowed on track.

The other major concern was the absence of the roll hoop on the car after it had come to a halt. The catch-fencing did its job remarkably well by preventing the car from flying into an area near marshal posts, photographers and a grandstand, but in stopping Zhou's car it also dropped into a tight gap behind the tyre barrier. The Halo became mandatory on Formula One cars in 2018 after years of FIA research into ways of better protecting a driver's head in open-cockpit racing.
