Chinese driver Peter Zhi Cong Li was 'alert and speaking with team personnel' on Saturday afternoon after suffering multiple broken heel bones and four fractured vertebrae in a shocking crash during a Formula 3 European Championship race in Austria.
     Li was airlifted to hospital with suspected head and back injuries along with his American team-mate Ryan Tveter, who sustained heavy knee bruising, following the incident in race one at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
     American Tveter went off the track and drove through a gravel trap before rejoining at turn five, leaving a huge cloud of dust behind him. Carlin colleague Li - completely unsighted - smashed into the back of him, launching the Chinese's car into the air and rolling several times before landing upside down.

Pedro Piquet then also collided with Tveter's car, sending the Brazilian sliding off the circuit and into the same gravel trap as Li.
     A statement from the Carlin team read: 'Having been taken to hospital by ambulance, Ryan has been discharged with heavy bruising to his knee.
     'Following initial assessment at the medical centre, Peter was transferred to a University hospital by helicopter.
