Vasseur: F1 'Too risky, too challenging' for Pourchaire in 2022
Alfa Romeo team principal Frederic Vasseur has been explaining why the squad opted to recruit Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu for the forthcoming season rather than offer the seat to rising star Theo Pourchaire. The 18-year-old from France had been tipped for a rapid promotion to F1 after becoming the youngest-ever F2 race winner with ART in Monaco, and finishing fifth overall in the 2021 standings But despite beng a Sauber junior driver, Pourchaire eventually missed out on the chance to replace Antonio Giovinazzi in the Alfa driver line-up, which this year will be led by former Mercedes star Valtteri Bottas.
