Zhou details problem Revealing the issue, a confusedZhou told media including RacingNews365 : "I was holding the revsbefore the four lights and I just lost all response from thethrottle, so I was starting with zero throttle. "It's verydisappointing, but unfortunately, there's nothing that I can say."We need to see in more detail what happened because this isstrange and has never happened before at all. "I tried to recoverbefore the five lights [went out to start the race], tried to gofull throttle but nothing was happening. "My start was a pull-away,it wasn't actually a start. That's why you saw my car not moving."It is really disappointing as I think it could have been good onlap one after the start and something happened that we have neverexperienced before. "I was obviously trying to brake as last as Icould to try and gain some positions back [at Turn 1] but thenpartly due to the dirty air of the cars ahead, unfortunately, Ilocked up into them. "But my race was over after the line."
