The 2022 Formula racing season has seen many highs and lows, and will soon make its stop in Singapore after Belgium. F1 tickets this year have been selling out rapidly thanks to a stellar line-up of drivers and exciting stage performances.
It is safe to say that the night race this year is all set to impress. But who are the talented drivers that you should keep a look out for?
From team changes to retirement, here are some drivers to keep your eyes on at the Marina Bay Street Circuit:
1. Zhou Guanyu
The Alfa Romeo rookie and the first Chinese national on the F1 stage started his season debut by scoring points in Bahrain, right down to his horrific crash at Silverstone in July. Thankfully (and miraculously enough), he has since recovered from the crash and will be behind the wheel again in Belgium.
His dedication and boldness on the track has rewarded him with a steady progression among the ranks of veteran and seasoned drivers. A force to be reckoned with, Alfa Romeo technical director Jan Monchaux described Zhou as the “a surprise of the season”.
Nothing short of praises, Zhou pursued his racing ambition at age 12 after watching his racing hero Fernando Alonso when he was five.
