Guanyu Zhou will become the first Chinese driver to compete in Formula 1, when next year he takes to the tracks with Alfa Romeo, where he will team up with Valtteri Bottas. An impact news for the highest category of world motorsport and a nod to an economic market that needs to be exploited. The news was communicated by the Italian team on Monday, whose CEO, Jean Philippe Imparato, was direct and clear: “Guanyu Zhou represents a key opportunity to fully exploit the potential offered by the global F1 platform and serves as a privileged entry point into the Chinese market that plays a remarkable role in the future of Alfa Romeo.”
The 22-year-old currently competes in F2, where he is fighting for the title, and has experience in other categories. He finished second in Italian F4 in 2015, and added victories in Euro F3 and F2. From a very young age I dreamed of climbing as high as I could in this sport that I am so passionate about. Now the dream has come true. It is a privilege for me to start my career in Formula 1 with such an iconic team, a team that has introduced so many young talents to Formula 1 in the past,” Zhou said after realizing his dream. He added: “I feel well prepared for the immense challenge of Formula 1. Next year the goal will be to learn as much as possible and as quickly as possible. Being the first Chinese driver in Formula 1 is a breakthrough in the history of Chinese motorsport. I know there will be a lot of hope in me and, as always, I will take this as a motivation to be better.”
