Alfa Romeo-Sauber driver Zhou Guanyu has his seat locked up for 2024.
The team announced on Thursday that Zhou would be re-joining the team on what appears to be a one-year deal on Thursday. Zhou has been in contract talks for some time, and now, the deal finally gets done.
Zhou has 10 career points in 36 race starts for the team. His two best finishes in 2023 are both ninth place, once at the Australian Grand Prix in April and then at the Spanish Grand Prix in June. He’ll remain with teammate Valtteri Bottas, who has scored 55 points in the same car the last two years.
With Zhou’s extension, there looks to be almost no driver switches or turnover during the upcoming offseason (unless someone’s contract is bought out). The only team to really look at now is Scuderia AlphaTauri, who could do a number of different things with its driver lineup next year between Yuki Tsunoda, Daniel Ricciardo and Liam Lawson vying for a seat.
