🚨 EXCLUSIVE! We chat to Zhou Guanyu on bouncing back from THAT crash, and carrying the expectations of a nation! F1 Zhou
The 23-year-old paid tribute to the“It’s pretty much behind me,” Zhou toldin an exclusive interview ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix. “Obviously what happened was not something I wanted, but at least I walked out completely fine from it.
“It was all new, so we needed to do an install check to make sure it was all okay. Some updated parts we don’t have anymore, because we are quite short on production, so that’s kind of more than just myself.” But Zhou had an immediate response to his doubters when he reached Q2 and scored points at the first attempt at the season-opener in Bahrain.
“It felt so great to be doing that so early, because for a rookie, it takes time and you don’t have time to settle yourself in. So I was happy with how I was improving, race-by-race. “It was fully understandable the reason, but I think people need to get to know the driver a bit better, following my career better, knowing where I’m coming from and how hard it is to get where I was, finishing top three in the championship to secure the seat.18 years after attending the inaugural Chinese Grand Prix in his home city of Shanghai in 2004, Zhou has realised his ambition of becoming China’s first F1 driver.
“I think to be signing the deal, everyone was keeping an eye on me, having their countryman racing in the best series in motorsport. Such was the prior lack of Chinese influence in motorsport that Zhou didn’t even get to raise his country’s flag the first time he stood on the podium at the beginning of his career in go-karts.
