Australian driver Daniel Ricciardo will pair up with Esteban Ocon of France to compete in F1 for Renault in the 2020 season, which means Zhou will get a good opportunity to work closely with his favorite driver.

"It's quite cool as Daniel is my favorite driver, so to work with him was a fantastic opportunity. I know Esteban a little bit too and look forward to getting to know him better. It's going to be fun working with both of them," the Shanghai-born driver said.

"Having more information and working with Daniel and Esteban will help me a lot, not only on the Formula 1 side but also for the Formula 2 season."

Zhou will also stay another year in Formula 2 to compete with UNI-Virtuosi, aiming to collect enough points to procure an FIA Super License, which is a prerequisite for all Formula 1 drivers.
