I’m not saying it’s their fault Zhou is upside down in a barrier by the way, just that it was predictable starting midfield on hards he’d end up swamped. Which he was.

They're probably having to take their time getting him out in case he has spinal or neck injuries, didn't they say the other day they could lift the seat out with him in?
He could well be knocked out

Out of the car and is moving. is OK
Zhou is out and OK , thats great news.
Zhou out and moving, but on a stretcher.
These cars are great .
Thank god. That must have been terrifying.
Imagine the noise and impact of all that gravel as it flew up around his head?

Looking at the replay I think Gasly swiped Russell and span him into the side of Zhou
Shows how good the safety is now that he's at least out and moving, the stretcher could be for precaution until they can properly check him?
Phew. The Halo is amazing.
Glad he is ok! That looked scary AF
Bloody awful wasn't it.
The halo has saved a number of lives already since it’s introduction.
Thank God Zhou is okay
Quite possibly twice this weekend alone.
Didn't they allow Perez back into the race after being towed in last season in Spa?
that's 2 lives saved by the HALO this weekend,
There was a fair bit of objection to it being introduced.

Russell trying to argue he should be able to start since he only stopped to see the other driver was OK. I’m sure he did but his car looks in a state…
not sure they did , I cant remember.
Russel has a case , he stopped to make sure a driver was OK.
His car came back on a truck, he doesn’t have any case.
Just seen another angle it looks like Zhou ended up behind the tyre barrier?
Didn't have a wheel and came back on a truck.. No real case there.
Makes sense as on the replay I’ve seen, Russell’s car was at a really weird angle when he hit Zhou.
Like Perez last season, no?
yeah fair point, the car looks like it is a mess.

They went around a few times that day without ever officially starting the race so it’s probably within the regulations.
looks like Russell could be back in, his car is being worked on.
Perez had a terrible start(miss shift or something similar) and it was still on par with Ferraris acceleration, what is wtong with Ferrari's start?
Also anyone doubting why Red Bull insist on Max as driver number 1 should check this weekend and see how average Perez is. I mean, they officially gave Sainz podium title yesterday and Perez was still in the flying lap. Verstappen and Leclerc are both much much better drivers than their teammates.

Sky hasn’t shown any replays of the crash yet. You guys got links to any replays?
I don't really know him outside his Drive To Survive interviews, but I always thought he came across I credibly well in those, easily the most interesting and thoughtful driver to listen to.
I think Toto in Drive To Survive, in response to last year's Hamilton -Verstappen crash at Silverstone, said that he was one of those that objected to the halo originally, but that he has clearly been shown wrong in that.
No Mikey No
There has been a few posted , it looks nasty and 100% the HALO saved his life.
Holy shit, that impact before the spin!
Would be great if he was allowed to restart, but as he didnt come back to pitlane by himself but on a truck i guess its a no.
Yeah Lewis along with a few other said it was not needed, he has been proved very wrong.
He also admitted that later on, didn't he?
fecking hell he flipped over the barriers
