Zhou Guanyu says he is ready to race again after his terrifying crash at the British Grand Prix.
The race was instantly red-flagged, and it took some time before the Chinese driver was removed from his car and sent in an ambulance to the medical centre, but despite the severity of the crash, Zhou was given the all-clear and discharged before the grand prix had even finished.Just five days on from the crash, Zhou will be back behind the wheel again for this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, and he has revealed that he is pleased to be racing again so soon.
‘Repeated questions… even though you try to avoid it, you somehow find it somewhere. It’s good to be back straight away.’Zhou, who is in his rookie Formula 1 season, also opened up for the first time about how the crash played out from his point of view, adding: ‘When the flip happened, the first thing I was trying to do was to release my hand off the steering wheel because you never know, you can break your hand quite easily with a crash like that.
‘I knew I’d be facing a massive impact because the car wasn’t stopping so I tried to lock myself in the safest possible position. Just bracing for the last impact. ‘Once I stopped, I didn’t know where I was because I was upside down and the next thing, I felt was there was some leaking. I wasn’t sure if it was my body or from the car, so I just tried to switch the engine off because I knew if the fire starts, it would be difficult to get out.
