[Saba Sports News] The 2024 F1 Chinese Grand Prix
is scheduled to take place at the Shanghai International Circuit from April
19th to 21st. This race holds special significance for Zhou Guanyu as it marks
his first home race since becoming an F1 driver, and Chinese fans have high
expectations for him. Recently, Zhou Guanyu took to social media to promote a
new book titled “Walking with Love – Zhou Guanyu’s F1 Dream Road,”
which was written by his mother. Zhou Guanyu expressed that his mother has been
his biggest supporter throughout his journey, attending every race since his
childhood. This book, written from his mother’s perspective, captures his growth
and pursuit of his racing dreams, filled with love and affection. The maximum
speed of a Formula One car reaches 379.6 kilometers per hour, and a driver’s
average heartbeat before starting a race is 190 beats per minute. The speed
limit represents not only the limits of the car but also the limits of the
human body. However, speed alone is not the sole criterion for becoming an F1
driver. It takes countless days and nights of hard work, unwavering dedication,
and countless moments of sweat and tears to reach the pinnacle of motorsports
and become one of the limited 20 F1 drivers in the world. Zhou Guanyu’s mother
can empathize with the challenges he has faced. Some automotive enthusiasts who
have read the book have praised the author for tenderly and rationally capturing
Zhou Guanyu’s experiences of overcoming various obstacles in a foreign country
over the past 19 years, along with the unforgettable stories that unfolded
during his journey.
