Alex Albon eye injury: Why was Albon taken to hospital?
Williams has confirmed that Alex Albon has been released from hospital following precautionary checks after the Thai driver was caught up in a Lap 1 crash at the start of the British Grand Prix.
There was carnage at the race start at Silverstone, as Zhou Guanyu, George Russell and Pierre Gasly came together, causing Zhou to barrel roll out of the race – while further behind, Albon was caught up in an incident involving Yuki Tsunoda, Sebastian Vettel, and Esteban Ocon.
Zhou and Russell were both seen in the medical center before being declared fit. But Albon was transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for “precautionary checks” – but was later discharged on Sunday evening.
