They will be forever linked. No, they were not Formula 1 teammates. No, they never shared a podium. But George Russell played an important role in 2022 in an accident involving him, where Guanyu Zhou was hit.

At the start of the British Grand Prix, a huge crash occurred at the beginning of the first corner. Several men were hit, including Guanyu Zhou. The Chinese driver ended up upside down. His Sauber slid for several dozen meters before being thrown into the fencing protecting the spectators.

Touching message

The driver was then stuck between this fence and the tire wall. Also a victim of the accident, George Russell had stopped his Mercedes, unfastened himself to come to the aid of his teammate. The scene had marked many people. But what had prevented the Briton from restarting in this race.

More than two years after these events, the two men exchanged their helmets, for what is certainly Guanyu Zhou’s last Grand Prix. The latter wanted to make a nod to this moment. « This moment in Silverstone, in 2022, I will always remember. Thank you George », wrote the Sauber driver on his Instagram post.
