[Saba Sports News] According to recent foreign media reports, there seems to be new developments regarding Zhou Guanyu’s position in the team. The Sauber team, acquired by Audi, appears to be reconsidering Zhou’s retention because they do not want to abandon the Chinese market. Zhou has significant sponsorship backing, which provides considerable financial support to the team—an important factor for highly commercialized F1 teams. Additionally, at 25 years old, Zhou is in his prime, and his potential for growth is undoubtedly greater. Furthermore, Zhou has three years of experience in F1, and his racing experience and rapport with the team are unmatched by many rookie drivers. Therefore, having an experienced driver is undoubtedly ideal for a team like Audi that is just entering F1.
