They will want to know Zhou is ok before they show any footage. That looked a horrible accident to be upside down at that speed and distance.

Looking down the grid, the Renault does look like it could be the slowest of the lot. A good start for the Manor, they are at the very least closer to the pack and Haas looked very impressive for their first ever run.
