The start of the British Grand Prix was rocked by a violent crash by Guanyu Zhou. The Chinese driver got away just fine, but the footage from the grandstands shows the severity of the crash.

Zhou had qualified ninth during the rained out qualifying session at Silverstone, but that was all destroyed when he was flipped upside down after making contact with George Russell. The Alfa Romeo driver slid through the gravel and over the curb into the fence. Fans and marshals were also unharmed, as this new footage shows.
