Can Alfa Romeo rookie Zhou Guanyu make a lasting impression?

As a Chinese I support Zhou and I also really want to see him to well in F1. When he first entered F1, people beat him to the ground and said he'd be one of the worst drivers in years (Imo mostly salty because Piastri didn't get the drive), but I feel like rn people are heading towards the other direction and kind of overhyping him based on only two races of performance. I really wish he doesn't experience the same hate that Yuki Tsunoda had to endure last season.

Same score as 2 race yuki last year. I rate yuki, redbull just uses him as an HM slave.

no what a waste of space with no personality… bring back kyvat

Zhou A hero who has shown supernatural abilities, especially in the Bahrain Grand Prix, I wish him success in the coming days

I can't wait for the Inside Line's mini documentary on aluminium rear-suspension, lower brackets Vs titanium ones!

He's overrated, he's driving possibly the 4th or 5th fastest car and is driving around 15th place, his Jeddah race was horrible.
Dont forget he finished P6 in F2 in 2020, behind Mazepin, in 2021 four of those drivers that finished ahead of him didnt participate and he still only finished third on a much weaker field, the Alpha Romeo is making him look better than he is, he's basically Mazepin tier

The bias against Zhou amongst so-called Formula 1 "fans" is disgusting and tiring!! I followed Zhou in F2, and he always looked like he would eventually be in an F1 car. Oscar Piastri was never really up for the Alfa Romeo drive because Alpine would not release him todrive for another team. He is their instant replacement for Fernando Alonso should he retire. To Alpine, Zhou was expendable. Zhou is more mature than Porchaire, and if sponsorship money closed the deal, it's fine with me. Zhou finished 3rd in the F2 championship and led it for a number of weeks.… Read more »

Plenty of Chinese money but no talent.

It takes months for some drivers to get their first point. Zhou absolutely killed it getting his first point in his first race,
I can expect ZHOU to be one of the greatest rook since Verstappen.

Pay drivers shouldn't get any recognition. The only promise he's shown is the ability to attract sponsors from China. 🙄

He already made a mark. Whatever he does every racing weekend, he will be “the first Chinese F1 driver to…. (drive full time in F1, score points, finish in P1-20, crash, get a podium etc.)” He was literally the first Chinese driver to finish in P11 in Saudi Arabia because no other has.
He also contributes to a steady flow of revenue from China.

let´s just hope China doesn´t invade Taiwan so we can keep him for a while…

One of the most underrated drivers on the grid. People say that he doesn’t deserve to be in F1 just because Piastri didn’t get the seat. Of course Oscar is better but in my opinion they both deserve it.

This Lewis crap?? He always turns to mental health when his has bad press. He is full of shit! He got Michael Massey fired he's worth hundreds of millions and trying to get sympathy…. That's just wrong, come to my hood you self entitled fool and see what true life pain is what real depression feels like… Shame on you!!!

Zhou impressed me right out the bag for a rookie compared to mick schumacher, it hurts to say no offense to zhou but i love mick. but zhou is showing promise.

Only until the next pay driver..

I think he's showing some promise. Too early to tell much but so far so good!!

Love Guanyu Zhou great drivers

Indycar

So far he's doing the job.
