Zhou was pinned in his car behind the guide rail. Zhou has been declared fit and released from the hospital.

The race was red-flagged after a horrific first lap accident that sent Zhou Guanyu upside down and into the Turn 1 barriers after Pierre Gasly touched wheels with George Russell sending the Mercedes into Alfa Romeo of Zhou Guanyu.

I’m ok, all clear. Halo saved me today. Thanks everyone for your kind messages! pic.twitter.com/OylxoJC4M0
