Sports News] The F1 Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled to begin in April this
year. Recently, Zhou Guanyu, the Chinese driver for the Alfa Romeo F1 Team,
discussed the upcoming season and his personal aspirations in an interview with
the media. Zhou Guanyu expressed his confidence in achieving good results and
emphasized the significant improvements made to the team’s new car, the C44. He
looks forward to showcasing their performance. As this is the final year of
Zhou Guanyu’s contract with the team, he hopes to impress the spectators at the
upcoming Chinese Grand Prix and secure a long-term contract with the team. Zhou
Guanyu stated, “I am confident that if I perform well, I will have the
opportunity to sign a long-term contract with any team. However, my priority is
to stay where I am.” Zhou Guanyu joined the Alfa Romeo Racing Team in 2022
and has been associated with Alfa Romeo for nearly a decade. His performances
on the track over the past two seasons have earned him unanimous recognition
from the team. In the 2023 F1 Dutch Grand Prix, Zhou Guanyu came close to
finishing in the top three but unfortunately crashed into the wall in the final
moments and retired. In the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he finished 16th and
set the fastest lap time of 1 minute 33 seconds 996. This was the second time
he achieved the fastest lap in a single race since joining F1.
