The Chinese driver competed in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship this season and scored 2 wins, 6 podiums, 3 pole positions and 1 fastest lap.

He is a very talented driver and rapidly got to grips with the F2 car. The championship is extremely tough and we feel Guanyu has the talent to progress quickly and have a very strong competitive year with us.”
