Théo Pourchaire: “I’m obviously disappointed”

Guanyu-Zhou was ultimately chosen to be the second pilot Alfa Romeo next year. How did you experience this?

I am obviously disappointed. I'd be lying if I said otherwise. Even though I am told all day long that I am young and that I have time to arrive in F1, I'm disappointed because I came very close to this seat. It was between Guanyu and me. As I said, I really think I deserve my place in F1. People said I was getting a big head, but not at all. I gave everything this year, I had a lot of contrary elements, notably my injury (fracture of the radius on June 6 in Baku) which cost me between 25 and 30 points on horseback
