Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu was protected by the "halo" of his car at the British Grand Prix when Zhou's car flipped and skidded along the track.

Zhou's car flipped immediately after that initial contact and skidded for several hundred feet across the track and then the gravel trap before its momentum sent it hurtling over the tire barrier and into a space between the barrier and the fence.

Zhou was involved in a high-speed crash but avoided serious injury, with the race later interrupted by Just Stop Oil protesters.

“Lewis was endorsing their right to protest but not the method that they chose, which compromised their safety and that of others.” “A group of supporters of Just Stop Oil have stormed the track at the British Grand Prix,” it read. Seven protesters gained access to the track and sat down with the cars still circulating before they were removed by the authorities. “The fact he came out of it is crazy,” he said. Zhou was safely removed and taken to the medical centre for examination. It then took some time to extract the 23-year-old, who is the first Chinese driver in Formula One and in his rookie season.

The other major concern was the absence of the roll hoop on the car after it had come to a halt. The catch-fencing did its job remarkably well by preventing the car from flying into an area near marshal posts, photographers and a grandstand, but in stopping Zhou's car it also dropped into a tight gap behind the tyre barrier. The Halo became mandatory on Formula One cars in 2018 after years of FIA research into ways of better protecting a driver's head in open-cockpit racing.
