Guanyu Zhou will become the first Chinese driver in Formula 1 next year. The 22-year-old Zhou will take over at Alfa Romeo from Antonio Giovinazzi, who has to leave the Swiss team after three years.
The Chinese, who is said to be taking at least 30 million euros in sponsorship money, is currently in his third season in Formula 2. He is second in the World Cup position of the main entry class for F1 with two Grands Prix to go.
“From a young age I dreamed of getting as high as possible in this sport and now that dream has come true,” Zhou said on the Alfa Romeo site. “It’s a breakthrough for Chinese motorsport that I become the first Chinese driver in Formula 1. I know there will be a lot of expectations on my shoulders, but that just motivates me.”
Zhou was in Ferrari’s training program between 2014 and 2018. For the past two years he has been a test driver with Alpine’s Formula 1 team.
Alfa Romeo team boss Frédéric Vasseur thinks Zhou will form “a very successful driver duo” with Bottas. “And we look forward to welcoming all new Chinese fans.”
Formula 2 championship leader and Alpine test driver Guanyu Zhou will become only the second driver from mainland China to get behind the wheel in a Formula 1 practice session when he borrows Fernando Alonso’s car for FP1 at this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix.
