Zhou Guanyu F1 encountered serious accidents, the latest news → ", the original text was deleted, which did not represent the viewing think tank view.

A little bit

At that time, Zhou Guanyu's car was hit by Russell at the side of the side, and then buckled upside down, and from the track to the sideline fence in this state. This cannot stop the car. The huge impact has made the car over the fence and stuck in the small space between the stands. At that time, the car was damaged, and the airport was even smoothed. The audience made a panic voice from the closest to the accident.

Russell rushed out of the cabin to observe Zhou Guanyu's situation for the first time, and then Zhou Guanyu was lifted by the medical team and staff to send it to the track medical center. Fortunately, the fleet responded shortly: "Zhou Guanyu is currently sober and is receiving medical evaluation." After that, the official F1 also said that Zhou Guanyu had no hindrance and had left the medical center.

At the same time, Zhou Guanyu was cut at the same time. He didn't seem to be injured, and he was also communicating with the CEO Dormenicali. Zhou Guanyu told Dominicari: "I have been waiting for the last impact when I was in the car, because I knew it would be the worst, and I kept awake all the way, and I didn't have a big problem."

Later, Zhou Guanyu also reported peace on his personal social media. "I'm fine, I am lucky to stand here, and today Halo saved me. Thank you for your concern for me."

Russell's Progressive and Rescue

As a person closest to Zhou Guanyu during the accident, Mercedes driver Russell said in an interview with the media, "I am glad to know that Zhou Guanyu is okay. This is definitely a terrible accident. I made a mistake in the ranking, and the position of starting was not ideal. I think this adventure can bring us opportunities. "

"But the hard tire started without grasp, the temperature was very low. After the start, I was surrounded by the car next to it. Then I was hit. I was next to Zhou Guanyu. This is the situation."

Russell rushed to Zhou Guanyu as soon as possible after the accident.

According to the release of the accident video, many racing cars were entangled at the time. Laoseel first collided with Gasley, and some lost control. In confrontation, he chose an unreasonable cut line to get out of trouble. Zhou Guanyu in front of him. In a state of unknown, Zhou Guanyu could not respond, and the fierce collision and the high speed of the car made the body out of control.

What is the Halo system

Zhou Guanyu can be safe and sound. It is a great fortune, but as he himself, Halo is the most critical factor to ensure his safety.

The so -called HALO is actually a circle of titanium alloy protection structure in front of the driver's cockpit. This design introduces F1 in 2018 to prevent the driver from being damaged by flying debris such as tires or fragments during the game. At the same time, when the vehicle collides with collisions It can also make the driver from being squeezed and collided.

Because of HALO, when Alpha Romeo's car was completely flying and buckled all the way to gliding all the way to hit the guardrail, Zhou Guanyu was still in a state of no contact with the ground and wall.

Halo system adds titanium alloy protection circles in front of the driver's cockpit.

Because of its appearance, the Halo system is nicknamed "human character drag" by fans. Tests show that in the case of the collision of the HALO system, it can withstand the static load of 15 times the quality of the vehicle itself, and can significantly reduce potential damage.

In other words, this 7 kg weight component can withstand the impact of about 12 tons, which is the strongest part of the whole car. In the official description of F1, there is a more vivid metaphor, that is, the weight of a double -layer bus. In addition, in the test of the vehicle's environment, Halo can prevent helmets from contacting walls or obstacles.

However, at the beginning, people did not agree with this design. Halo increases 7 kg weight. The design also affects the stability and chassis tolerance of the vehicle's center of gravity, and increases the cost of commissioning and research and development of each team.

Because of its appearance, the Halo system is nicknamed "human character drag" by fans.

At that time, the managers of Mercedes -Benz team talked, "If there is a chance, I want to use a saw to see Halo."

But then, Halo really started the journey of saving life.

In the F1 Balling Station in 2020, Has driver Gross's racing car broke out into the fence. The cockpit ignited a high fire, and the car was also broken, but Halo was not damaged. The driver was just a rib fracture and accompanied by a slight burn. Gross said afterwards: "Halo is the greatest invention." From Gros to Zhou Guanyu's stadium accident certificate, Halo is extremely important for racing.

Real strong

Affected by this serious accident, Zhou Guanyu's performance at the Silver Stone Track ended abruptly, but the performance of this young man on and outside the field is worthy of everyone's respect.

This is a good opportunity for Zhou Guanyu to impact the intellectual area again. Two weeks ago, Canada's station had just refreshed the best rankings in qualifying and Zhengzheng. It can be said that he has become better.

When he came to his most familiar silver stone track, Zhou Guanyu's qualifying game entered Q3 again, and won the best 9th place in the 9th place.

After Zhou Guanyu's inspection, he returned to F1 fence.

From the perspective of the outside world, Zhou Guanyu has the ability to usher in a breakthrough again. In fact, after entering the match, Zhou Guanyu did not make mistakes, but because of the competitiveness of competitors, he became an innocent victim.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Guanyu did not condemn Laoseier's operation after getting out of trouble from the accident. On the contrary, Zhou Guanyu has been saying in the exchange with Dominicali and other staff. ","

He is the only F1 driver in China and a first -year rookie. But Zhou Guanyu's calmness and generosity let us see the real strong on the track, and also made us confident in his next F1 journey.
