Zhou Guanyu Pursues Ferrari Reserve Driver Role

Zhou Guanyu has confirmed ongoing discussions with Ferrari for a potential reserve driver role in the 2025 Formula 1 season, as he aims to stay in the sport and ultimately reclaim a race seat by 2026. With his current team, Sauber, transitioning to the Audi works team, Zhou finds himself without a seat for 2025 and is actively seeking opportunities that support his development as a driver. He has ruled out competing in other racing series, focusing solely on securing a position that allows him to maintain and enhance his racing skills through testing.

Having been part of the Ferrari Driver Academy from 2014 to 2018, Zhou sees a potential return to Ferrari as particularly appealing. Despite facing challenges during the 2024 season and not scoring points, he expressed satisfaction with recent performance improvements, especially after a strong showing in Las Vegas. As Zhou carefully evaluates his future options, he emphasizes the need for any new commitment to be clear and substantial, eagerly anticipating a decision on his next career move.
