      Guanyu Zhou set to become first Chinese F1 driver with 22-year-old teaming up with Valtteri Bottas at Alfa Romeo

      GUANYU ZHOU is set to become the first Chinese driver to race in Formula One.The 22-year-old from Shanghai is expected to be confirmed at Alfa Romeo next season where he will partner Valtteri Bottas.

      Zhou is currently second in the Formula 2 championship and also part of the Alpine young driver programme.
      He is only the second driver from mainland China to get behind the wheel of an F1 car after Ma Quinghua drove in five practice sessions across 2012 and 2013 with HRT and Caterham.
      Zhou, who was previously part of Ferrari’s Driver Academy, has been told he is free to leave Alpine in pursuit of his F1 dream as they are unwilling to replace either Fernando Alonso or Esteban Ocon.
      Alpine’s executive director Marcin Budkowski said: “On Guanyu Zhou, there are rumours flying around, and again I am not going to comment on rumours, or on driver contracts.
      “We are evaluating options for our academy drivers but the success of an academy is also measured through its output.
      “We are running this academy because we want to generate Formula One drivers.

      “But we can’t stand in the way of our drivers who are mature for F1 and ready to take that challenge, because that would be negative for their careers, for them as individuals, and also it would reflect badly on our academy.
      “So these are the parameters and we’ll announce this in due course.”
      Zhou’s switch to Alfa Romeo would complete the grid for 2022 and result in Antonio Giovinazzi finding a new drive elsewhere.

      Lando Norris bravely opens up on depression since breaking into F1 amid fears he isn’t good enough

      by

      LANDO NORRIS has opened up on his mental health struggle when he first broke into F1 in 2019.Norris, 21, has won over fans with his light-hearted sense of humour, but says his happy-go-lucky personality does not show his true feelings of when he made his McLaren debut.

      The Brit, who came agonisingly close to winning the Russian Grand Prix before spinning off the wet, said he initially doubted whether he could cut it at the top.
      Speaking on ITV show This Morning he said: “I guess people, from when they just watch TV, don’t realise many things that a driver goes through.
      “And it’s a bit of shame, but there are more programmes now where you get to see what the driver is like behind the scenes, and the amount of pressure and stress that they have to cope with.
      “Especially at my age, coming into Formula One at 19, there’s a lot of eyes on you. So, dealing with all these kinds of things, took its toll on me.
      “Feeling like I don’t know what’s next? If this goes wrong, if I don’t go out in the next session and perform, what’s going to happen?
      “What’s the outcome of all of this? Am I going to be in Formula One next year, if I’m not? What am I going to do because I’m not really good at many other things in life?

      “So, just all of that, and then just feeling depressed a lot of the time that if I have a bad weekend, I just think I’m not good enough and things like that.
      “When they start adding up over the season, and then the social media side of it all, that can just really start to hurt you.”
      Norris has had frank and open conversations with his McLaren team and mental health charity Mind, which he says has put him in a better position.
      He added: “We partnered with Mind, which has helped me massively, and also helped many other people in McLaren, but also just in the world in general.
      “So speaking to McLaren, speaking to the people that are around me and my friends that I trust, and also Mind, I’m in a much better place now. I’m much happier and I can enjoy everything I do.”
      MCLAREN HOPE
      Norris was distraught at missing out on victory in Sochi and says that after his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo’s win in Monza, there is renewed optimism at McLaren.
      He said: “There’s obviously a lot of expectation on us at the moment because of Monza, where we had a 1-2, and last weekend I had pole position and almost won the race.
      “So a lot of people are expecting amazing things. But we have to limit them in a way because we’re still realistically not as quick as Mercedes and Red Bull, which are the leading two teams at the moment.
      “We still have a lot of work to do but every race is an opportunity.”

      Lewis Hamilton phoned Max Verstappen after Silverstone crash to ‘break ice’ just months before horror Italian GP smash

      by

      SIR LEWIS HAMILTON phoned Max Verstappen to clear the air after their crash at the British Grand Prix.The pair collided at a whopping 180mph at the Copse corner in the opening lap of the July race at Silverstone.

      Red Bull ace Verstappen was furious with Hamilton, who he branded ‘disrespectful’ and ‘unsportsmanlike’ from his hospital bed.
      And in a bid to defuse the situation, seven-time F1 champ Hamilton put in a phone call to his young rival.
      He told ESPN: “I called him after Silverstone, but, again, I don’t mean to be patronising, but I am much older.
      “I’m much older and it was important for me to call and to be able to break the ice.
      “I feel he’s a tremendous talent and I am enjoying racing with him.
      “Do I agree with everything he does? It doesn’t even matter.

      BETTING SPECIAL: GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASH
      “What matters is that he does him and he will learn, and all I can control is what I do and how I handle things.”
      Hamilton and Verstappen, 36 and 24 respectively, collided again last month at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.
      On lap 26, Verstappen’s Red Bull bounced up on a sausage kerb – with one of its wheels landing on Hamilton’s head.
      Hamilton would’ve sustained a serious injury had it not been for the titanium Halo safety device, which have been mandatory since 2018.
      Dutchman Verstappen was handed a three-place penalty for the Russian Grand Prix as officials adjudged him to have been responsible for the crash.
      Current championship leader Hamilton has become used to Verstappen’s risky manoeuvres.

      He said: “I’ve had to back out of certain scenarios with Max because otherwise, we are going to crash, and I’m just like, ‘I’ll beat him in another way.
      “I think, ‘If I can just survive this corner, I will challenge and fight him another way, stay close, use strategy and all these different things.”
      Hamilton and Verstappen will renew their rivalry on Sunday afternoon in the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul.

      MOTOR RACING star Jessica Hawkins has seen her career take a real shot in the arm – after getting the call to star in the new James Bond film.The 26-year-old applied on a FACEBOOK job advert to become a stuntwoman after her W Series racing career came to a halt.

      That is the female-only support series running alongside Formula 1.
      She got the gig to star in the Fast and Furious Live show – and that has now been topped with a role in the upcoming No Time To Die film.
      And the result of it all is that Hawkins has been able to resume her spot in the W Series.
      Speaking to The Mirror, the speedster said: “I stopped racing a good few years before W Series purely because I’d run out of budget to continue on my motorsport journey.
      A friend then tagged me on a Facebook post which said they were looking for a female driver with good car control.
      “At the time, it didn’t say what it was for, but I just thought ‘I’ll send them my CV and see what happens’.

      “It turns out that it was for a show called Fast and Furious Live. All of the stunts that were in the movie, we performed live.”
      Her impressive showing in that led her to a chance meeting with the stunt co-ordinator on No Time To Die.
      And it was full throttle ahead for Hawkins as she appears in the iconic film.
      She added: “Bond was actually my first movie. There was quite a lot of pressure, but I was confident in my ability and I had an incredible team around me.
      “I’m super proud of what I’ve done.”
      She can’t give much away from her scenes, but confirmed part of it came driving a Land Rover Defender.
      That also appears in an advert for the car company.

      F1 has finally confirmed the remainder of its calendar, following a mad scramble to cram in a full season amid the Covid-19 pandemic..
      And Qatar have taken the vacant position left open by the Australian Grand Prix’s second consecutive cancellation.
      Race weekend will take place between November 19-21.
      And it will go ahead at Losail International Circuit, north of Doha.
      The venue has been a regular fixture on the Moto GP circuit.
      Upon this morning’s news, Formula 1 president Stefano Domenicali said: “The Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation and Authorities have been incredible and have moved at great speed to ensure the race can take place this season at the Losail Circuit, famous to many as the host of Moto GP.

      “The huge effort from all the teams, F1 and the FIA has made itpossible to deliver a 22-race calendar, something that is very impressive during a challenging year and something we can all be proud of.”
      Qatar will NOT feature on next year’s F1 calendar, however, as the country instead focuses on hosting the 2022 Fifa World Cup.
