It is no mystery that for the entire Formula 1 movement it was important to have a driver who could broaden interest in the category in a huge market like the Chinese one, which until this season had never had its own representative on the starting grid. In 2012 Ma Qinghua took part in several free practice sessions (Monza, Singapore, United States, Abu Dhabi) without ever making his debut in the race and so also Tung Hopin (2003, Williams) and Fong Adderly (2012, Sauber) made a single witness that had no follow up. Guanyu Zhou, after his experiences in the Ferrari and Renault Academies, he will instead have the opportunity to compete for an entire season on the Formula 1 starting grid, at the wheel of the Alfa Romeo Sauber.
Also Stefano Domenicali, president of the category, he wanted to send a welcome message to the Chinese standard bearer: “The news that Guanyu Zhou will be in F1 next season is fantastic, both for our sport and for the millions of fans in China., who will now have their own home hero to follow throughout the championship. The F2 pyramid is working and promoting talent in the top category of motoring. Zhou is an incredible talent, who will be a fantastic addition to the grid and will arouse interest in all Chinese fans in 2022 ″. A word also for Antonio Giovinazzi, who leaves the Italy of riders in the next world championship: “I want to thank Antonio for being a brilliant ambassador for F1 and for Italy. He did a great job and I hope to see him in Formula 1 again in the future. I wish him the best and we know he will do well in whatever he chooses to do ”.
