Following news of his Stake F1 exit, Guanyu Zhou hopes to remain in Formula 1, expressing gratitude to his supporters.

Guanyu Zhou has been officially let go by Stake F1 for the 2025 season, and the Chinese driver took the opportunity to thank those who supported him, as well as the team that brought him into Formula 1. He reflected on his early days and standout performances.

“I will be leaving Stake F1 at the end of the 2024 season,” Zhou wrote. “I want to thank all the fans for their ongoing support. You’ve been amazing and continue to inspire me. I’m immensely proud to represent my country as the first Chinese driver in Formula 1.”

“I hope my racing continues to inspire those following my journey. I’m glad to have already achieved a lot under challenging conditions in Formula 1, including scoring points in my debut race, setting fastest laps, and engaging in memorable battles across the grid.”

Zhou confirms he hopes to stay in the Formula 1 paddock next year, possibly in a reserve driver role: “Unfortunately, the past two seasons have been tough for everyone, but I want to look forward.”

“I’m optimistic about the future, and now I’m fully focused on proving what I can truly do. I am currently exploring a number of options to remain in the Formula 1 paddock, and I will keep everyone updated soon.”
