George Russell opens up on "human reaction" after witnessing "horrendous" incident

George Russell explained his human reaction to the scary moment Zhou Guanyu became trapped upside down after his car flipped in one of the biggest Formula 1 crashes of this year.

It happened within just a few seconds of the start of the British Grand Prix, in July. One of two incidents on the straight before reaching the first corner saw Russell's car make contact with the AlphaTauri of Pierre Gasly, sending the Mercedes spinning into Zhou.

The Chinese racer's car immediately flipped over and skidded at high speed along the Silverstone track, then into the gravel before smashing into a tyre wall and coming to rest between the barrier and the catch fencing protecting the spectators in that grandstand.
