A number of arrests have been made after eco protesters stormed the track at the British Grand Prix in a stunt branded 'dangerous' by spectators
An extraction team rushed to Zhou and the 23-year-old Chinese driver, in just his 10th race, was carefully removed and taken away in an ambulance to the medical centre.
Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon were also involved in the frenetic first moments of Sunday's race, with both drivers limping back to the pits for repairs and able to take part in the re-start. The race was immediately red-flagged, but as the cars made their way back to the pits, five protestors stormed the circuit at the 200mph Wellington Straight before sitting down.
"Both drivers were conscious and will be evaluated at the medical centre. Further updates will be given in due course."
