Formula 1: Guanyu Chou chooses No. 24 in honor of Coby Bryant
Guanyu Chou, the first Chinese to complete a full season in Formula 1, revealed his child hero, who inspired him to choose the number 24 for his car.
Guanyu Chou is not only the gateway to the large Chinese market and Alfa Romeo to its sponsors. He was a star in Formula 2 that year and is undoubtedly the greatest driving talent that China has shown in motorsport.
Over the past ten years, Formula 1 has adopted the American system, primarily for marketing reasons, in which every driver chooses a number that accompanies them throughout their career. The only exception is that the champion can pick the number 1 for next season, which Lewis Hamilton didn’t do but Max Ferstappen intends to do this year.
Chow chose 24th place thanks to his childhood sporting idol, NBA star Coby Bryant, who lost out at an early age. Bryant, who shocked the sports world when he died in a helicopter crash two years ago, joined the Los Angeles Lakers with the same number in his 20-year career.
“Coby Bryant was a role model for me when I was more interested in basketball than motorsport.” said the Chinese driver. “What impressed me most about him was his work ethic. Although he was considered the best player of the day, he worked tirelessly to improve.
He woke up at four in the morning, started exercising, then took a short break to take his children to school and keep practicing. But also beyond that, the number 24 is 4 times the number 6, which is the lucky number in my country “, Chou explained.

The season finale and Monaco’s failure will be shown. Where are the most overtakes in F1?
The Formula 1 2025 season was full of competition and transitions. Although fewer in number than last year and fans and drivers not always able to enjoy the action on track, there were still plenty of genuine overtakes.
On some routes there were very few, as expected. The fewest overtakes took place in Monaco; There were only four overtakes during the entire race. And most of them were at the season finale, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix – 60th.
Below is the exact number of actual overtakes on each stage; this number does not take into account position changes on pit road during the first lap as the driver exits or exits the track. The chart only reflects actual overtaking on the motorway.

Mercedes driver George Russell received a rather unusual Christmas gift from Charles Leclerc as part of Secret Santa.
The Briton received a chart showing his overtakes at the Dutch Grand Prix, arguably one of the most exciting moments of the season.
After unwrapping the gift, Russell said: “Look at him. He’s such a nice guy. He can only overtake illegally, so that’s all he has going for him – taking people off the track. I’m speechless to be honest.”
When asked if he wanted to wish Leclerc a Merry Christmas, the British driver playfully added:
“He doesn’t deserve this. Maybe I’ll give him another photo of Kimi knocking him out of the race and remind him of what happened a few laps later. Thank you Charles. Thank you for nothing.”

There is no information that George Russell bought Charles Leclerc.😂
“It’s a very delicate piece. It means having a form that’s not legal. It means they’re unarmed… much better.” pic.twitter.com/O7MLLWdTtB
