Guanyu Zhou: It is important to have a trouble-free weekend

Alfa Romeo driver Guanyu Zhou was in Las Vegas for the first time and is enthusiastic about the upcoming stage…

Q: Guanyu, have you been to Vegas before?
Guanyu Zhou: No, I was a good boy and didn’t go to Vegas. This is my first time here. Everything looks very cool. It seems that people here mainly live at night. But we came to race, that’s what I’m fully focused on.

Great city, my family is here too. We spent two days in Vegas and it was nice to catch up.

Question: The last series of three races in a row was not a success for Alfa Romeo. What is the reason?
Guanyu Zhou: This suggests that we need to work even more. We have already said that next year we will have a completely different car, but today there are certain problems. It is important to use the two remaining races to understand what is going wrong. But this does not mean that we will not fight our rivals.

Question: Your team is currently ninth in the Constructors’ Championship, a few points behind AlphaTauri and ahead of Haas F1. Do you hope to move up a spot?
Guanyu Zhou: In recent races, AlphaTauri cars are very fast; recently they fought with Mercedes and Ferrari. We only lose a few points to them, but it won’t be easy to win them back.

We must focus on our work and seize our opportunities. It is important to have a problem-free weekend, which has not happened for a long time.
