Sports News] After a 20-year hiatus, F1 is finally returning to China. The 2024
F1 Lenovo China Grand Prix will take place at the Shanghai International
Circuit from April 19th to 21st. This event holds particular significance as it
marks the first home race for Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu, who races for the
Alfa Romeo Team. Zhou will be entering his third F1 season and is eagerly
anticipating the opportunity to compete on home soil. An exciting addition to
this year’s F1 Chinese Grand Prix is the introduction of a sprint race, a new
competition format aimed at enhancing the excitement of the event. Zhou Guanyu
has expressed his enthusiasm for this development. In an interview with the
media, he emphasized that being an F1 driver not only requires exceptional
racing skills but also encompasses a test of a driver’s overall abilities. Zhou
recognizes the responsibility that comes with being on such a prestigious
platform and aims to set a positive example for young people. He hopes to
inspire others to pursue their dreams through his own experiences and to share
the thrill and allure of motorsport with a broader audience.
