The Problem with Guanyu Zhou...

Hi guys,

now, this is insanely minor, but Codemasters need to take this into consideration, as this is a quality deal.

Now, I have been watching the real F1 season, and every single time in the starting grid, Guanyu Zhou has his name shown in reverse, like this: "ZHOU Guanyu", and it makes sense, as many people told me that Chinese names are shown like this.

Now how is this a problem, you might ask? Well, ever since F1 games exist, every single name follows the strict system of first name and last name, with the last name being shown in the ranking table on the upper left. And the problem is, in an attempt to keep it 100% accurate, EA had Codemasters write Zhou as the first name, and Guanyu as the last name, and while Guanyu still has the ZHO initials, his true last name is not shown in the table.

I don't get why EA had Codemasters change it. In F1 2021, Guanyu had the correct name according to the name system that we have, and now we have the strange sight of a first name being shown as a last name, and while it's not game breaking, it's still a bizarre sight.

Dunno what you think about it. Let me know in a reply.

- Nico
