A number of drivers were circling around Zhou Guanyu's F1 seat. None of them were a clear upgrade for Sauber.
Zhou Guanyu has signed a deal with Sauber for the 2024 Formula 1 season, ending speculation about the team’s second driver. Sauber’s decision to retain Zhou is logical, as he has performed well and offers commercial advantages. There were other options for the seat, including Schumacher, but it seems Sauber was not interested. Schumacher may now have to look for a seat at Williams. Another potential candidate, Pourchaire, is on the verge of winning the Formula 2 title, but some argue he hasn’t done enough to deserve an F1 promotion. Overall, Sauber’s decision to keep Zhou was a sensible one.
