He was also enthralled by the adaptability shown by Zhou in his rookie season against a potent teammate like Valtteri Bottas. He said, "I am looking forward to continuing working with Zhou. From day one with the team, at the Abu Dhabi test last year, he has impressed me with his approach to work and this is always a very positive trait. We knew he was quick, but the way he adapted to F1 in such a short time has been one of the best surprises of our season. He is a very nice guy, everyone in the team likes both his personality and attitude." He further added that, "He has had the humility to ask questions and learn, from the engineers as well as Valtteri [Bottas], and the intelligence to apply all the information he got to improve race after race. He will have this experience to draw on next season, and I am sure he will make another step forward as we continue to grow our team." This does show that Daniel Ricciardo was somewhat out of consideration at Alfa Romeo as another door closed for him.
