On April 20, it was reported that in the just-concluded 2024 F1 Chinese Grand Prix sprint race, the home driver Zhou Guanyu won ninth in the sprint race.
It was the first sprint race of the season, and Verstappen comfortably took the win, leading by more than 13 seconds, with Hamilton and Pérez finishing second and third respectively.
It is worth noting that this is also Zhou Guanyu's first official appearance in the F1 Chinese Grand Prix, and it is his first home game.
Unfortunately, he was one point away from the points, but he was still the first driver in the "Earth Group".
In November 2011, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team announced that Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu would be the team's official driver for next season, making Zhou Guanyu the first Chinese driver to compete in the main race of Formula 1.
Zhou Guanyu has achieved remarkable results in F1 for two years, winning the best rookie award, ranking fifth in qualifying, setting a new career best, and breaking into the top eight in the main race.
In September last year, the Alfa Romeo F1 Team (now renamed the Stake F1 Team) officially announced that it had signed a contract extension with Zhou Guanyu to continue to partner Bottas in the 2024 season, which will maintain the current driver line-up.
