Zhou insisted he is in talks over his future: ꦜ“I mean it🤪’s been going on, us talking together, before the summer shutdown. 

“Also, we are still di📖scussing toget𒊎her with the team.

“Happy place to be, right now, and also knowing the team, moving forward in the future, heading 𓄧off to a works t𓆏eam, so it’s good for us and for myself. 

“I’m𒅌 trying to do the maximum I can on the track and the rest is up to♔ time. 

“Up to more further detailed discussion together.

“This time last year I was a lot more✨ nervous thanꦆ I am now. 

“Hopefully I’m able to set eveꦛrything down and have a good future ahead.”

Mick Schum🧔acher waits in the wings for a full-time comeback sꦯo Sargeant knows there is pressure.

“From my side, I just need to worry about improving,” h🌱e said at Zandvoort. 

ꦅ“Show a good step from the first half of the season going into the second, and just work on improving myꦦself. 

“As long as I do that, all should be good.

🍸“It’s F1 and the pressure is always there. It doesn’t matter what position you’re in, or what team you’re𝓡 in. 

“It’s a performance-driven sport. I think 🍸we all understand that.

“So it’s all going to ultimately come dow💮n to that. 

“It’s going to come down to how I pe꧋rform, how I 𝔉improve. We’re all aware of that and understand that going into it.”
