Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese driver in Formula 1, is exploring a potential role as a reserve driver for Ferrari in the 2025 season after being dropped by Sauber, which will transition to Audi. Zhou confirmed that he is in discussions with several teams, with Ferrari showing significant interest in securing his services. His former teammate, Oliver Bearman, is moving to Haas, leaving the reserve seat at Ferrari open. Zhou emphasized the importance of making a well-considered decision for his future, stating he does not wish to rush into a commitment.
