Zhou Guanyu’s route to F1 was epic. As a child he watched the
Chinese Grand Prix from the grandstands and dreamed of joining
his racing heroes. But with no footsteps to follow in, he had to
plot his own path. Before he was even a teenager he moved from
his home city of Shanghai to the other side of the world to test
his talent behind the wheel. Fighting homesickness and
intimidation from his racing rivals, he proved himself. Zhou
tells Tom Clarkson about the sacrifices, key decisions, victories
and personal loss he experienced along the way. Now he’s racing
his childhood heroes as the first Chinese driver to compete in
Formula 1. Zhou has already made history for his country
and, as he says himself, he’s only just getting started.
