F1, drivers’ market almost completed: another announcement arrives

Alfa Romeo has confirmed Chinese driver Guanyu Zhou again for next season

The Formula 1 drivers’ market is in its final throes: Alfa Romeo has made official the retention of Chinese driver Guanyu Zhou for the 2023 season, alongside Valtteri Bottas, who has a contract until 2024. With this announcement, the 2023 grid is almost complete.

“I am happy and grateful to Alfa Romeo for the opportunity to be part of the team for another season,” are his words. Coming to Formula One was a dream come true and the feeling of competing in a race for the first time will stay with me forever: the team has been incredibly supportive, welcoming me from day one and helping me adapt to the most complex series in motorsport. I want to do even more in the sport and with the team, and the hard work we have done since the beginning of the year is just the first step to get to next season. There’s still a lot to learn, a lot to develop, but I’m confident in our work: I’m looking forward to the next chapter of our story together.”
