Official: Zhou Guanyu will continue at Alfa Romeo in 2023

It was taken for granted, although it is strange that Alfa Romeo was not made official in advance, but finally, the expectation was fulfilled: the Swiss structure announced on Tuesday the one-year renewal of Zhou Guanyu for 2023 .

“It’s been an absolutely crazy year, but I’m proud of everything we’ve achieved as a team so far! Let’s keep working to reach more milestones together,” said Zhou (May 30, 1999 Shanghai, China) on Tuesday on social media.

The 23-year-old Chinese driver attended the MD a few weeks ago, in Monza, and at that time he assured that everything seemed “promising” in terms of his negotiations, noting that the team is “happy” with his progress in his first F1 course and said feeling is in return for the group’s work.

“In the first year, the goal is to learn and improve my skills, but there will come a point where I want to fight for podiums and more than scoring points, for sure. I hope to be in that position one day, but now I’m here trying to get everything right in my early years before taking that step,” he told this newspaper.

“We achieved all the goals I set for this year: to get to Q3, to finish in the points… and I’m happy with the progress. Obviously it’s a bit complicated and maybe from the outside it seems easier, but from the inside it is all very intense.” He added in the interview.Now, a few weeks later, Zhou can announce his continuation in F1 with Alfa Romeo, something that will give him the opportunity to continue to develop.
