Alfa Romeo confirm Guanyu Zhou in unchanged 2024 F1 lineup

NEW DELHI: China’s first Formula One driver Guanyu Zhou will race on next season alongside Finnish team mate Valtteri Bottas after Alfa Romeo confirmed an unchanged lineup on Thursday.

Zhou, 24, made his debut with the Swiss-based team last season and the extension should finally give him a chance to race in front of his home fans.

The Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai is scheduled for April 21 after a five-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent restrictions.

“Signing again with the team is always a great feeling, especially when we know how things are shaping up,” said Zhou in a team statement ahead of the Singapore Grand Prix.

“My relationship with Valtteri is really good, and we are working closely together and with the team to push everyone forward. I am also very excited about the opportunity to finally race with my team in China, in front of my home crowd. It will be a great moment and I’m proud to be able to share it with all those who have supported me.” Agencies
