Updated Tuesday 16th November 9.25am: Alfa Romeo has confirmed that Guanyou Zhou will become the first Chinese driver to race in Formula 1 when he joins the team for the 2022 season. While neither Sauber or Aston Martin has technically confirmed an engine for next season, it would be astonishing if there was a change from Ferrari and Mercedes respectively. Alfa Romeo also renewed its headline sponsorship deal with Sauber, meaning the team will remain on the F1 grid in 2022. The Japanese auto giant is quitting F1 (again) after 2021 and Red Bull will be taking the production of engines in house, after agreeing to take on the programme and recruiting a new division (mostly from Mercedes). The only major change expected for 2022 then will be Red Bull switching from Honda power to. Panthera Team Asia had announced that it was to join the F1 grid in 2021, and then delayed it to 2022, but there is literally no information available on them now (other than a small mention on Wikipedia) so we’re happy to say they won’t be arriving. The grid has been relatively stable for several years now, with no new teams joining since Haas and no teams leaving since Caterham and Marussia departed.
