Zhou's new Alfa deal and how team's 2022 decline has hidden his progress

Mark Hughes joins Edd Straw to discuss Zhou Guanyu's new deal with Alfa Romeo for 2023. The duo analyse the Chinese driver's rookie season so far, and explain why he's deserving of keeping his seat alongside Valtteri Bottas for another year. They also dig into Alfa Romeo's performance slide since the start of the season, how the team might address it, and what their future looks like with Audi on the horizon.
