Zhou Guanyu: Bottas is the best teammate of the F1 rookie season!

As China's first official F1 driver, Zhou Guanyu will represent Alfa Romeo in F1 in the 2022 season, while his teammate is Finnish driver Walteri Bottas, who played for Mercedes for five years and helped the team win the championship of the year.

As the only rookie driver in the 2022 season, Zhou Guanyu believes that being able to become a teammate with Bottas is a huge positive for him, Zhou Guanyu explained: "For a rookie driver, there is no better choice than being able to become a teammate with Bottas in the first season," Zhou Guanyu said.

"To beat him requires a lot of hard work, a quick adaptation to F1 and a new car. But I think more importantly, he can help me through the learning phase. Bottas was very open and he was willing to share his information with me and the team which would have been very helpful. ”

"After all, he has won a lot of races in F1 as well as the podium. Of all the drivers, only a few were able to surpass Hamilton, and he was one of them. ”

"For me, he's a good benchmark and a very strong team-mate. I hope to improve with him in the new season. ”

Asked about his goals for the first F1 season, Zhou Guanyu replied: "First of all, my small goal is to score points, I don't know how competitive the car will be in the new season, and I can't have a clear understanding until the start of the race. ”

"I want to enjoy F1, learn from my teammates and engineers and improve myself in every way. When I improve in all aspects, nature will come to fruition. ”
