Re: Zhou is listed with his given name in the race standings
@Iron_Discipline he is Chinese, so they are showing it the correct way according to his country's standard.

Not at all. If you were right, Tsunoda should be listed as "Yuki". In this respect the name ordering rules of languages don't matter. A pilot should be idenfied with his family name. The fact that in Zhou's langue the family name comes first merely means that if full names were listed "Guanyu" would come after it.
- @Iron_Discipline If I'm not mistaken, the driver has a choice of keeping his family name first or his given name. Considering that Guanyu Zhou opted to be Zhou Guanyu in the standings (as per observed in the f1 standings) that is certainly a compromise for the game which doesn't have this aspect most likely
Zhou is the family name, but in China, family name is written first. Zhou is shown in the TV graphics in that "position graph" like family name for all other drivers as well. That's how it should be in game as well. Simple as that, and this is most probably just a simple mistake from the devs and easy to fix.

Tsunoda is from Japan, who westernised their naming convention decades ago.
He chose to switch the order of the names before the season to honor Chinese Tradition. So yes, the way it is implemented should be adapted. In the official F1 App they do it that way, I attached a Screenshot.
Surname should be corrected to Zhou, like it was in F1 2021, but the Name displayed differently.
