Formula 1: Alfa Romeo Team Principal Frederic Vasseur claims it has been “tough” so far this season, but his team is working hard to find a “solution” to give Formula 2 driver Theo Pourchaire an FP1 session at some point this year. Follow Formula 1 updates with InsideSport.IN

Vasseur on being questioned about the performance of driver Zhou Guanyu by other young drivers. The Alfa Romeo team manager heaped praise on the rookie’s season-opening performance, claiming that Zhou had exceeded their initial expectations for him and called him the “ideal pick” for the seat in 2022.
“The initial aim was to get to Q2, I think he was in Q2 in race one and scored points in race one, and then around mid-season he has been able to do Q3 two times in a row, he was even out-qualifying Valtteri Bottas,” Vasseur concluded.
He said Zhou scored again in Montreal, and while there were some reliability difficulties, he had previously been able to score two or three times. I think that was the best decision, and I am extremely happy with the outcomes and Zhou’s behavior as we got out of the car together.
Alfa Romeo have a total of 51 points and are sixth in the championship. They are 17 points in front of Haas, and 30 points behind Alpine ahead of the 2022 French Grand Prix.
