Pride and hype as F1 roars back to China after COVID-19 absence

” Very PROUD”

It was almost precisely two years ago, at the top of the state’s shutdown, that the Shanghai loop became the site of a wooden 13,000-bed COVID-19  clinic.

That was just a few weeks after Zhou had his first grand prix travel in Bahrain, finishing 10th to report a place, but the pandemic delayed 24-year-old Zhou’s house F1 debut until this year.

Zhou is determined to put on a Shanghai present despite the fact that he is doubtful to pose for the floor.

Zhou said on Monday,” I ca n’t wait to give it my all,” share the enthusiasm with the entire team at home and trackside, and kick off a new chapter of Chinese motorsport with the crowd.

It provides an opportunity to motivate and prepare the way for interest in the sport for upcoming years.

My nation is a fan of racing and has been anticipating this time for centuries. “

Supporters in the town echo his excitement.

” As China’s second F1 vehicle, we are really proud of him,” Hu Yanqin, 29, said at a new fan function screening the Japanese Grand Prix – complete with large flags bearing Zhou’s image.

Fans greeted Zhou at the airport next week, underlining the publicity surrounding his second F1 season, and a film about the sprinter,” The First One,” will be released in Chinese cinemas this weekend to correspond with the competition.
