In recent days, the news that Chinese racing driver Zhou Guanyu won the last seat for the 2022 F1 driver has caused an uproar on the Internet around the world. After the news release, many people questioned Zhou Guanyu, believing that although Zhou Guanyu had good strength and good results in F2 competitions, he still had some qualifications to get this seat. Some foreign media also revealed that Part of the reason zhou guanyu got this seat was because he carried a sponsorship fee worth 2,000-3,000 euros (about 150 million to 200 million yuan), and these news once again brought Zhou Guanyu to the forefront.
But when the overwhelming doubts were about to overwhelm Zhou Guanyu, many rational voices also appeared on the Internet. In fact, although Zhou Guanyu's racing talent is far inferior to that of legendary drivers, with his personal strength and resume in F2, his 2022 ticket is also deserved.
Zhou Guanyu's performance along the way also proved that he is a racing driver who can continue to grow, in 2015, Zhou Guanyu won the second place in formula 4 in Italy, and in 2016, Zhou Guanyu, who played in F3 for the first time, took the podium. Since 2019, Zhou Guanyu has been promoted to F2 and won a number of honors in three years, and his strength is absolutely unquestionable. It is definitely worth spending this money to give Zhou Guanyu the opportunity to exercise himself in F1!
It is worth mentioning that the matter of bringing funds into the group has long been commonplace in F1 circles. Even Michael Schumacher, the most legendary racing driver in the history of F1 racing, joined the league through "bringing money into the group" that year, starting his legendary racing career. Moreover, F1 racing, as the world's most expensive sport, itself needs a large number of sponsors' financial support, and from this point of view, bringing money into the group is not a bad thing for F1 events.
Today, Zhou Guanyu is concentrating on cultivation, hoping that he can copy the legend of Schumacher and prove himself with strength on the racing track. At that time, perhaps Zhou Guanyu's "bringing funds into the group" will also become an interesting talk.
