What is Zhou Guanyu’s driving style?
Zhou Guanyu has an excessively aggressive driving style. He said himself that he likes to be aggressive with the car, carrying this preference from the F2 cars that needed an aggressive driving style. He is a late braker, gaining time on entry but losing it in the mid-corner to Bottas. He takes an aggressive V-shaped racing line, rotating the car sharply in the mid-corner to set up a better exit. His style is not optimal for modern day F1 cars.
To understand why his style doesn’t suit F1, we must first understand his driving style.
