Chinese commentators react to Zhou overtake and point finish in F1

[gaming]

At some parts it sounds like a bunch of friends commentating on the race... The passion is unbridled! Sport really does transcend all sorts of borders

[pressstart]

Reminds me of the French commentators almost in tears watching Pierre Gasly winning the Italian GP.

From the commentator voice, we can conclude that:
- The two commentators were happy 'cause Zhou's scoring first points in F1
- The commentator's room is pretty small

[proguncorn]

The funniest thing is that just a lap before, when Max retired, the commentator said he thought Honda's engine has problem, if Perez retired Zhou will get point, of course not cursing Perez just saying IF that happens, just after that Perez really retired so they were so exciting.

HAHA this is amazing, the passion is real and its amazing to see zhou do so well on his debut!

I'm a fan from China and the commentators in this video (from Five-Star Sports) always bring us so much joy and laughter. They are not the most professional in terms of racing, but the atmosphere they offer is the best, and they often have the magic ability to jinx with their words. I'm so glad this clip got uploaded to YouTube! Yesterday was truly a historical day for us Chinese fans!

The pure joy... the beauty of sports can truly unite us all.

As a Chinese, I love this enthusiasm 😂 Here’s what they said:

A: Now let’s see his position as he (Hamilton) comes out the-
B: Eh? Zhou Gwanyu’s there!!
A: Okay this will be a good training opportunity for him-
(Zhou goes on the outside)
B: OMG ZHOU GWANYU
A: He’s going for it! BEAUTIFUL!
(Everyone overlaps each other in excitement)

A: And here we go, last lap now
B: Let’s see what Perez does, his defence is key, whether he can defend now is the que-
(Perez engine dies)
Everyone: OWAAOWOWOAOA ZHOU GWANYU HAS
B: He’s coming for it!
A: WTF just happened!?
A: And Zhou is about to cross the line~
Everyone:

0:17 guy got so excited he turned into Mario for a split second

[proguncorn]

There are several TV channels in China broadcast F1, the channel in this clip is called "Five Star Sports". The commentator has been comment F1 for like 20 years, he is the most funny and motivating commentator here and we all like him

[Akniy]

I've seen translated clips before of these chinese commentators and they are quite funny

[thechevydriver]

Really sceptic of Zhou before the start of the season. I really thought a lot of guys deserved his place a lot more than him.
He proved me wrong yesterday. I'm sure he'll get rougher times during this season but if he can perform like yesterday on a more regular basis he will not be a bust

[Kibouo]

0:17 super Mario in the commentary box as well

[kicapanmanis]

I don't understand the language they are speaking but I can understand their emotions. That is the magic of sports.

[n-m-r-k]

Zhou appears to be a nice and humble young man. I like him. And he did very well in his first race!

We are at the beginning of the season, but i hope, Alfa Sauber can assert itself. As a fan of this team, it was not easy all this years!

[boomyoulookingforthis]

I hope Zhou is successful in his F1 career, and becomes well remembered.

[shmet]

They sound like that 1 kid in the lobby with a bad mic 😂
Amazing to hear the passion!

[variamente]

"哇!漂亮" that sounds exactly like friends when u score a sick goal

[FS]

I’m so happy that China has a driver especially one with potential to be a solid driver

[Grant]

Say what you want about Zhou and China itself, but damn I felt excited too when he scored points.
