Jacques Villeneuve believes that Valtteri Bottas should go unbeaten against Zhou Guanyu at Alfa Romeo this season, given his race-winning experience and speed.

Bottas comfortably leads Zhou in the World Championship standings after a sterling start to the season, while Zhou’s P10 finish in Bahrain had been his only point of the year prior to last weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix.

Zhou has had reliability issues along the way which have halted his progress, including three retirements in four races, but in Baku and Montreal he outpaced Bottas in qualifying and ran ahead in the races, as he appears to find his feet in Formula 1.
