Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted November 16, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 16, 2021 I like Zhou, so happy he got the seat and will be looking forward to seeing him on track. Then get Pourchaire a year later, and it's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted November 16, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted November 16, 2021 Giovinazzi has had his chance if we're being honest. He's alright but that's it. It's been clear for a while that he's leaving given that he ignored team orders in Turkey and sarcastically thanked the team for his strategy in Mexico.

Moderator Tommy 12,605 Posted November 16, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2021 Most of the F1 community saying Zhou is only a pay driver. But his recent results in F2 and Asian F3 are quite good, no? Okay, the rumoured 30 Mio are probably what tempted Alfa the most though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his recent results in F2 and Asian F3 are quite good, no? Okay, the rumoured 30 Mio are probably what tempted Alfa the most though. He's definitely a good driver, not a top talent, but good. I've been following his career since his debut in F4 (as I always keep an eye on Asian drivers), and I like watching him as I find his racecraft enjoyable. Consistency might be somewhat of an issue, at least that's what been his biggest weakness so far. Of course Sauber gave him the seat because of the money he brings in, that's a no brainer. There's a huge lack of seats available to youngsters in F1, so the package of being a decent driver and having the money will always be more advantageous than just being a decent driver. As much as I'm aware, their plan is to have him for one year, and then give the seat to Pourchaire. I personally hope that Zhou has an impressive debut season and stays in F1 though (while Pourchaire also gets the seat, as I fucking love Pourchaire).

What is it then, he's not a Bottas fan, I take it? In all seriousness, it's probably just another internal power struggle with Picci losing...
