The British Formula One Grand Prix was halted and re-started on Sunday after a dramatic Lap 1 crash for Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu.

Having been tagged by George Russell just after the start, Zhou's car flipped upside down and skidded at high speed off the track, with the force of the impact seeing the Alfa Romeo vault the outer barrier and come to rest against the inner catch fencing.

Though there was much concern for Zhou's condition, the Chinese driver was released after precautionary checks at the circuit's medical center, and later posted on social media to confirm he was unhurt.
