Zhou Guanyu, who recently became China's first official F1 driver, still surprises the audience in the F2 race.
On December 11, Beijing time, in the second leg of the F2 final station Abu Dhabi Sprint, the third Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu took the lead in crossing the finish line to win the championship.
Previously, Zhou Guanyu won the first round of the Bahrain Station, the first leg of the Monaco Sprint and the Main Race of the United Kingdom, which is the fourth championship won by Zhou Guanyu this season, and he still retains the hope of impacting the second runner-up in F2.
Overall, Zhou Guanyu has played well this season, which also makes people look forward to his performance after entering F1 next season.
Previously, on November 16, Formula 1 Alfa Romeo announced that Zhou Guanyu, a driver from Shanghai, China, has signed with the team, and the 22-year-old will play as the second driver of the regular race to play in next season's F1 World Championship. Zhou Guanyu thus became the first F1 regular racer in Chinese history and the first driver to officially qualify for the F1 annual race.
However, at that time, Zhou Guanyu also admitted to the surging news reporter: "Still according to the previous race plan, this season's F2 race is not over, I am still an F2 driver, will go all out to run the last two stops, hoping to impact the championship." ”
"This season's F2 races have been played on the same weekend as F1, and I have a good exchange with many of F1's drivers, engineers, technicians, and I have also participated in F1 tests and practices, I know the workflow of an F1 driver, and I am also demanding myself by the standards of an F1 driver."
For the upcoming new season, he has already made a lot of preparation for the F1 competition: "I have been doing full physical training, I will not wait until I enter this stage (F1) to start preparing, when I was in F2 I was training according to F1's conformity. My physical trainer has been following me since 2017, usually aerobic and anaerobic, I know that the downforce in F1 is much greater than in F2, and there are special training measures for the neck. ”
