Video | Zhou celebrates Alfa Romeo anniversary with F1 car on Italian highway

Alfa Romeo is celebrating its 113th anniversary this Saturday, which prompted Zhou Guanyu to take a celebratory drive down an Italian highway in his F1 car. The Chinese put down the gass pedal from his car Piedimonte San Germano to Pomigliano d'Arco, where Alfa Romeo is headquartered.

Alfa Romeo has posted a video showing Zhou racing down the motorway while normal road traffic drives on the other side. In the video, Alfa Romeo - which will cease to be Sauber's name sponsor after this season - announces that racing does not belong on public roads. The call is emphatically made not to press the throttle a little too much yourself.

Zhou hard underway
