2022 British Grand Prix

Sometimes a grand prix throws up such a shocking moment it’s going to overshadow everything, but it’s a testament to the quality of the race that followed that this year’s British Grand Prix will go down as a thriller despite Zhou Guanyu’s horror crash.

As Max Verstappen swept past polesitter Carlos Sainz to lead and Lewis Hamilton slotted into third place, in the background a car disappeared into the run-off area at Abbey at high speed, upside down.

With multiple cars limping with damage, the race was immediately red flagged, and it soon became clear that Zhou was involved. Cameras picked up George Russell – out of the race with damage – running across the gravel towards the crash site, where it later became clear he would climb on top of the tyre barrier.
