Guanyu Zhou is the only newcomer to this year’s World Championship, but the Alfa Romeo team he drives for is unlikely to be disappointed by the Chinese driver. The first half of the season was very stormy for him, he endured many different kinds of stress, but overall his performance deserves a good rating.
After 13 stages he is 17th in the individual standings and Zhou already earned his debut race in Bahrain in Bahrain from a very spectacular accident, which could have had much more serious consequences had it not been for the Halo system. .
Zhou remembers his adventures on the championship circuits and does not hide that he is upset by the frequent technical meetings, but in general he is satisfied with the progress made.
“Looking back on the first part of the season, I’m impressed with the work I’ve been able to do and I’m also happy with the progress I’ve made since the Bahrain stage,” the official website said. championship. quoted the Alfa Romeo driver as saying. “It feels like in this time I have experienced everything that a Formula 1 driver usually goes through in ten years.
There were quite a few reliability issues leading to retirements, but that’s part of the game. I also had a serious accident at such an early stage in my career and this is not a pleasant story either. But of course I think we would have earned more points if we hadn’t retired.
And yet we were able to achieve our goals: we made it to the final of the qualifiers, finished in the top ten twice, showed good speed and progressed in many ways. I like all this, in general I am satisfied, and I don’t think it’s worth worrying about next year. Although I suppose that at the end of the summer, for example during the days of the Spa stage, there will come a time when it will be necessary to talk about my future.
In general, I’m not too worried about next year because I think if I keep working in the same vein and supplement with every race, I don’t see any reason to stop me from staying in Formula 1.
Alfa Romeo has yet to confirm a roster for 2023, but it is known that Zhou’s teammate Valtteri Bottas has a multi-year contract with the Swiss team.
