“I don’t know how I survived” – Alfa Romeo driver Guanyu Zhou on Silverstone crash

Runner”Alfa Romeo » Guanyu Zhou expressed the opinion that the Halo head protection system saved him from serious injury in a crash at the British Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Guanyou’s car overturned on the Silverstone track on lap one and crashed into a barrier, flying over a tire barrier. The Chinese man was transported on a stretcher to an ambulance and taken to a medical center. In addition, four other drivers became participants in the incident, the race was suspended.

– When the car rolled over, the first thing I tried to cope with was to take my hand off the steering wheel, because in such an accident you can easily break your hand. When I was dragged to the ground, I knew there would be a bang because the car didn’t stop. And then I tried to put myself in the safest position possible, just waiting for the last blow.

As soon as the car stopped, I didn’t know where I was because I was upside down. The next thing I felt was some sort of leak (liquid), I don’t know (from where). So I just tried to shut off the engine. I knew that if a fire broke out, it would be difficult for me to get out.

It didn’t hurt, but the (liquid) was very cold, I didn’t know if it was blood or if I couldn’t feel my left side anymore. I thought I was next to the barriers, but in fact I was between the barriers and the fence. I don’t know how I survived. I hope Halo saved me, — quotes the words of Zhou Telegraph.

The International Automobile Federation (FIA) had previously announced its intention to carry out an investigation into the circumstances of the Chinese driver’s accident.
