Zhou to the king class: "Now the dream has come true"

The last spot on the F1 grid for 2022 has been given away. Immediately following the announcement that Antonio Giovinazzi will be parting ways with Alfa Romeo, it has been announced that F2 driver Guanyu Zhou will be taking over his seat.

Zhou already seemed to have the best cards for the seat next to Valtteri Bottas in 2022. The Chinese driver now makes the coveted move to the premier class of motorsport.

Zhou is ecstatic, stating, "I dreamt from a young age of climbing as high as I can in a sport that I am passionate about and now the dream has come true."

Zhou will take a seat next to the experienced rock Bottas. The rookie hopes to learn a lot from the Finn: "I feel well prepared for the immense challenge of Formula 1, the pinnacle of my sport, alongside a proven, world-class talent in Valtteri Bottas."
