Ferrari has officially welcomed Zhou Guanyu as its reserve driver for the upcoming 2025 season. This strategic addition complements the team's lineup alongside current reserve Antonio Giovinazzi, solidifying Ferrari's commitment to maintaining a robust driver team.
Last month, Ferrari confirmed Zhou's new role, dispelling any rumors surrounding his future following the Sauber team's decision to restructure their driver roster. This move saw Zhou part ways with his former teammate Valtteri Bottas, marking a significant shift in his racing career.
In an exclusive interview, Zhou shared his excitement about joining the iconic Italian team. \"As a reserve driver, you still need to train and be ready for unexpected chances; I must stay fit and keep my training going,\" Zhou emphasized, highlighting the dedication required for his new position.
Working alongside seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton presents a valuable opportunity for Zhou to learn and grow within a highly competitive environment. The synergy between Zhou and Ferrari aims to strengthen the team's overall performance in the fiercely contested racing circuit.
Ferrari's decision to bring Zhou on board underscores the team's focus on nurturing talent and ensuring readiness for any unforeseen changes during the racing season. Zhou's commitment to continuous training and adaptability positions him as a key asset for Ferrari's future endeavors.
