“This is so embarrassing” – Fans react as Zhou Guanyu stumbles upon an old video of him and Charles Leclerc dancing
Fans were overjoyed to see Zhou Guanyu reacting to a very old video of his featuring Charles Leclerc.
Charles Leclerc and Zhou Guanyu
Zhou Guanyu and Charles Leclerc is a bromance that many did not even expect to see in the F1 paddock. Back in the 2017 season, the duo were a part of Ferrari’s junior driver academy. Back then, they used to train together and shared a lot of joyous memories. Now that they both have finally reached the pinnacle of motorsport, the fun hasn’t stopped there at all. During their junior academy days, they had a lot of fun and this old video is a testament to that.
The video features three drivers namely Zhou Guanyu, Charles Leclerc and Enzo Fittipaldi. Back then, Zhou races in the F3 championship while Enzo raced in the Italian F4 championship in 2017. During that time, Leclerc went on to impress the lot and won the 2017 F2 championship having scored 282 points in his final season. Another similarity between the Zhou and Charles is that they both have started their Formula 1 journey with Alfa Romeo.
The video itself is hilarious to watch with the trio making some horrendous dance moves. However, it is safe to say that Zhou Guanyu was in his own groove and went on to dance way better than Leclerc and Fittipaldi. More than 6 years have passed since that video was made and the Chinese driver finally gave in and decided to film himself reacting to the video.
