Sports News] It has been revealed that Zhou Guanyu, the current F1 Alfa Romeo
Team driver, was already aware of Lewis Hamilton’s transfer. In a recent
interview with the media, Zhou Guanyu shared this surprising news. He had prior
knowledge of Hamilton’s agreement to transfer, but it was not disclosed to the
public until now. Zhou Guanyu stated, “I had sent messages to people on
his team before, so I knew that he was signing the agreement. I didn’t tell
anyone, but I was really shocked by the news at the time.” This revelation
has caused a shock in the F1 community. Losing a seven-time world champion like
Hamilton, who is still performing at a high level, is undoubtedly a significant
blow for Mercedes. It has been announced that Zhou Guanyu will officially join
the Alfa Romeo Racing Team as their driver in 2021, making him the first
official Formula One driver from China.
