China’s Zhou Guanyu is to be one of two Ferrari reserve drivers in 2025.
The 25-year-old, who was dropped by Sauber at the end of last season after three years with the Swiss team, joins Italian Antonio Giovinazzi.
Zhou, who was a member of the Ferrari driver academy from 2015 to 2018, will support race drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
Reserve drivers typically do simulator work to assist the race team, including over race weekends as teams work to perfect their car set-up, and perform selected testing duties.
Zhou scored 16 points for Sauber in 68 grands prix for the team.
Giovinazzi has been part of the Ferrari driver roster since 2017 and raced for Alfa Romeo from 2019-21, scoring 21 points in 62 starts.
