Still, the Alfa Romeo driver himself admitted that the wait for his Formula 1 debut will be less stressful of the experience lived in 2021 in Formula 2the year in which he finished 3rd in the general classification at the wheel of his UNI-Virtuosi.
The 22-year-old Asian, in fact, generated a comparison between the two categories about twenty days after the start of the world championship, arousing curiosity for his words: “To be the only rookie on the 2022 Formula 1 grid, I think there is, of course, a little bit of pressure – admitted in a statement reported by racefans.net – but now I don’t really feel it, because I believe there was more last season. I had too many people looking at me and their eyes on me, especially at the end of my Formula 2 campaign. So there was a lot of pressure, but I think I dealt with it pretty well. “. In addition, Zhou set his goals for his first year in the top flight: “I hope to get as many points as possible and to always try to fight for points and for Q3. Besides, I think this is also the team’s goal ”.
