Guanyu Zhou will become the first Chinese Formula One race driver next season when he joins Alfa Romeo as Valtteri Bottas' teammate.
On Tuesday, Alfa Romeo confirmed Zhou will join the team for the 2022 season, meaning Italian driver Antonio Giovinazzi will not be on the grid next year.
Bottas was announced as the team's other signing for 2022 earlier this year, with current driver Kimi Raikkonen set to retire from F1 at the end of this year.
Zhou, 22, has been racing in Formula 2 since 2019 and has also been a member of the Alpine driver academy in recent years.
