Alfa Romeo’s Guanyu Zhou is making his Forumla One debut after impressing in Formula 2 for the past three years. He is China’s first full-time F1 driver and, as well as being encouraged by his home country, a part of Yorkshire will be watching his progress this year.
The 22-year-old moved to Sheffield from his hometown of Shanghai in 2012 and started racing for Strawberry Racing UK, a karting team founded by Paul Spencer in 2001.
At his request, Zhou was known as Joe while in Steel City and the young man attended the prestigious Birkdale School. A signed photo of Zhou still hangs in the Strawberry Racing office.
