Alfa Romeo drivers Bottas and Zhou collaborated with Punjabi musician Karan Aujla – here’s everything you need to know
While Punjabi Hip-Hop enthusiasts eagerly await Karan Aujla‘s upcoming album in collaboration with Ikky this summer, the prominent Punjabi rap artist, Karan Aujla, shows no signs of halting his remarkable journey to worldwide fame. The impactful rapper and lyricist has expanded his horizons by venturing into the dynamic realm of motorsports, teaming up with the superstar drivers Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu from the Alfa Romeo Team Stake. Aujla’s involvement in the global motorsports scene is a result of his extensive partnership with Stake. Alongside Aujla, known for placing substantial bets on Indian cricket through the platform, the Hip-Hop trailblazer Drake has also frequently shared his Stake transactions related to the NBA. Alfa Romeo F1 unveiled an exclusive short video in June, showcasing the collaboration between the “52 Bars” emcee and the influential F1 motorsport drivers.
Amidst the eager anticipation for his upcoming rap album this summer, Aujla’s collaboration with Alfa Romeo’s motorsport athletes has taken center stage. Executive Produced by the renowned Punjabi Hip-Hop superproducer Ikky, Aujla officially announced his debut full-length album in March, coinciding with the remarkable release of the “Four You” EP. This project, produced by Ikky, showcased Aujla’s three fiery Punjabi rap tracks – “52 Bars,” “Yeah Naah,” and “Take It Easy,” in addition to an engaging pop track titled “Fallin Apart.”
Where does Alfa Romeo stand heading into the Dutch GP?
The Swiss-based team Alfa Romeo witnessed a significant performance improvement at the Hungarian Grand Prix before the summer hiatus. Zhou Guanyu and Valtteri Bottas displayed their capabilities by securing the fifth and seventh spots on the starting grid. Unfortunately, Zhou experienced a setback at the beginning due to a starting issue, leading to him not gaining any points during the race. Bottas also faced challenges, ending up outside the top 10 due to delays in the first lap. However, the duo couldn’t secure any points in the subsequent Belgian Grand Prix.
Although Alfa Romeo has shown signs of improvement, they still find themselves trailing behind the other teams. The reigning champions, Red Bull, have established a substantial lead with an impressive 503 points. Mercedes holds the second position with a considerable gap, amassing 223 points. Aston Martin secures the third spot on the leaderboard with 184 points, while Ferrari closely follows in fourth place with 167 points. Alfa Romeo, unfortunately, occupies the ninth position with a modest total of 9 points.
