Dramatic video shows the moment Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu's car flipped and was sent crashing into a fence at the British Grand Prix . Alfa Romeo said Zhou was not badly injured and was treated at the circuit’s medical center.

Alfa Romeo driver Guanyu Zhou of China crashes at the start of the British Formula One Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit, in Silverstone, England, Sunday, July 3, 2022. Zhou Guanyu said he was “all clear” Sunday after a frightening first-lap crash that brought the British Grand Prix to an immediate halt as safety crews attended to the only Chinese driver in Formula One.

Zhou was taken to the track's medical center for observation and credited the head-protecting “halo” device on the cars for protecting him. 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. Albon had spun into the pit wall after being struck by Sebastian Vettel from behind as drivers tried to avoid the incident involving Zhou. Williams said Sunday evening Albon had been “given the all clear” and discharged from hospital.

The Just Stop Oil group also tried to disrupt some Premier League soccer games in England in recent months.
