Guanyu Zhou, junior driver of the Alpine Formula 1 team, has won the Asian Formula 3 Championship. It is the first title of his career.

Zhou managed to win a total of four races, including the last race of the season. In addition, he has stood on the podium seven other times. With his last victory he managed to beat Pierre-Louis Chovet with a lead of 16 points.

First title for Zhou

"I want to thank my crew and my team immensely," Zhou told Motorsportweek.com. "We have been working hard the last few weeks."

He continued: "It wasn't easy going into the last weekend with 32 points behind, but I didn't give up until the last race."

Zhou now has a total number of licence points of 36, and is therefore only four points away from his super licence.
