Though the Chinese driver remained in his car for several minutes, he was able to leave on a stretcher and was moving and conscious, per BBC Sport.

"Important message from race control: Zhou is OK," Alfa Romeo said, per Autosport.

Russell was still quick to check on his fellow driver after the crash:

The Englishman was not allowed to continue the race after getting out of his car.
