The field filed back to the pits after the collision as a specialist extraction crew attended Zhou, who remained in his car, until he was lifted clear.

Alfa Romeo roll hoop likely focus of Zhou F1 crash investigation (autosport.com)

Zhou Guanyu's horror accident at the start of Formula 1's British Grand Prix will, like every crash, be investigated in depth by the FIA.

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.

Zhou ready to race after F1 horror crash (The West Australian)

Despite his horrific crash at the British grand prix Chinese Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu has insisted he is fit and ready to race in Austria this ...

But after he was extracted from his wrecked car, and taken to the on-track medical centre, Zhou was declared medically fit by the FIA. It is not anticipated that he will have to undergo any additional tests to prove he is ready to race next weekend. The 23-year-old Chinese rookie revealed he is "keener than ever" to get back behind the wheel of his Formula One machine after he emerged unscathed from a horrendous opening-corner accident at Silverstone. Zhou Guanyu is set to return to his Alfa Romeo cockpit at next weekend's Austrian Grand Prix - just five days after he was involved in one of the most spectacular crashes in recent memory.

Scars of Zhou's monster crash revealed; Aussie rising star gets first win: F1 Pit Talk.

“This is everything that wanted to make me join,” he told the In the Fast Lane podcast earlier this year. He easily established a lead early in the race, though as the track dried he was reeled back in by DAMS F2 rookie Ayumu Iwasa, whose wet-weather tyres were in better shape at the end of the no-stop race. It’s a timely marker of progress in his maiden campaign in the category and a sign that his sudden change of plans this year are paying dividends. Vips already made his practice debut with Red Bull Racing in Spain. Doohan started the sprint race fourth but made short work of Juri Vips, Enzo Fittipaldi and then Jehan Daruvala to take the lead in treacherously wet conditions. The car’s roll hoop will undoubtedly be a key area of interest, although it’s worth noting that the halo is rated to withstand a greater vertical impact than the roll hoop, which might go part of the way to explaining why one withstood the crash and not the other.
