To pay tribute to Kobe Bryant, Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu will use the number 24 to compete in F1

Bitcar News Recently, the World Formula One Championship (F1) announced the entry list for the 2022 season. Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu, who joined the Alfa Romeo Racing Team, will use the number 24 to compete in F1. As the first Chinese driver to compete in the F1 race, Zhou Guanyu will partner with Bottas to compete in the F1 event next season.

This is the first F1 driver to use this number since Glock in the 2012 season. However, as early as the 2020 season, Zhou Guanyu printed the slogan "24

MambaNeverOut" on his F2 car, and Zhou Guanyu also used a purple and gold helmet to pay tribute to Kobe.

After Guanyu Zhou chooses the number 24, it also means that the car numbers of the three Asian/Asian drivers on the field next year will be connected together - Yuki Tsunoda, the number 22, Alexander Albon, the number 23, and Guanyu Zhou No. 24.
