Sainz leads Verstappen and Leclerc, who looks to have damage after tapping Perez in fourth.

Norris is ahead of Hamilton.

Sainz takes to his grid spot. Here we go again for the second time.

Sainz will line up on pole position ahead of Verstappen, Leclerc, Perez, Hamilton, Norris, Alonso, Latifi, Gasly, Bottas, Tsunoda, Ricciardo, Ocon, Magnussen, Vettel, Schumacher and Stroll.

The race is back underway behind the Safety Car.

Race control confirm it will be a standing start.

"Not all cars had passed the SC2 line before the red flag and therefore the last confirmed order we can use is the original grid."

Alex has been transferred by helicopter to Coventry Hospital for precautionary checks following the opening lap incident. We will provide updates when available.#WeAreWilliams

Ferrari tell their drivers: "It will be one lap behind the safety car, and then a standing start."

Restart grid: Sainz, Verstappen, Leclerc, Perez, Hamilton, Norris, Alonso, Latifi, Gasly, Bottas. 

Qualifying order rather than the order at the point of the red flag.

"We can confirm that after the red flag, several people attempted to enter the track. These people were immediately removed and the matter is now being dealt with by the local authorities."

Zhou's car skidded across the gravel trap and ended in the fencing. 

TV now showing Zhou's crash. Very scary stuff.

Zhou's car is no longer between the barriers and it's now being repaired.

Following a crash at the start of the British Grand Prix, Zhou Guanyu is conscious and now at the circuit’s medical centre to undergo evaluation. #BritishGP
