Zhou faced challenges during qualifying, finishing with the slowest time and getting eliminated in the first stage, just behind his teammate Valtteri Bottas. Due to changes made to Zhou’s C44 car before the race, he had to start from the pitlane but didn’t lose any positions. After struggling in previous races, Zhou reverted to his old chassis at Barcelona, which he felt was more predictable. Bottas also had a disappointing race, finishing in 18th place with Logan Sargeant’s Williams between the two Saubers. Sauber is the only team yet to score points this season and faces a tough task to change that at the next race at the Red Bull Ring.
