Alfa Romeo driver Zhou Guanyu has detailed his horrifying upside-down crash at the British GP, admitting he had no idea where he had landed, feared his car was going to catch fire, and feels lucky to be alive.
Zhou was involved in one of F1's scariest accidents last Sunday as his car was flipped over by contact at the start of the race, before hurtling through the gravel and then launching over the tyre barriers. It was then trapped in a small gap in front of the catch fencing and spectators.
After a nervous wait, Zhou was eventually recovered from the car and, incredibly, was cleared of any significant injuries.

The 23-year-old Chinese driver - the sole rookie on the F1 grid - spoke to the media for the first time about the Silverstone crash ahead of this weekend's Austrian GP, where he is ready to race again.
Because of the little space work in, Zhou was left in his car for longer than usual as medical personnel made sure he was safe.
"I had to unstrap my helmet myself," Zhou told Sky Sports F1.
"I tried to move myself a little bit to make sure I twist my body to be on top of the car.
"I was waiting for them to flip my car over, because I didn't know I was stuck between the fence and the barriers."
