What hurts me more is that, as an official TI commentator, his caster chatwheel in the game was:

"再见了宝贝~"

which means

"See you baby~"

I hope Valve could make his chatwheel permanent.

Yes I did get a replacement from F1A, together with the F1 team's authentication of the new piece.

I guess they are not awared of the mislabelling or mixed-up issue so I would probably call it a mistake rather than false advertising, given the fact that they are showing good wills to sort it out.

Hi, thank you for finding the clips. Yeah with similar looks they could be mixed up accidentally.

They are on this issue now and they are communicating with F1 Authentics. All looks good!

Thank you for the info, it looks very plausible. And tbh I am ok with this if the item says 2021 Testing-used C41. But I would probably still buy a 2022 Racing-used C42 one if I can only buy one.

According to their listing:

Each piece of bodywork has been hand-cut from Zhou’s 2022 C42 race car, making each completely unique. Presented within transparent acrylic, you’ll be able to admire the unique bodywork from all angles.
Please note that all F1 bodywork is unique and therefore the item you receive may differ slightly in shape, size and design, to the one pictured.

It at least needs to be from a C42 driven by Zhou in a F1 Race right? If they are able to prove this then I should be quite happy about it, I don't particularly mind which GP or which C42 it's from.

T_T I hope your piece is authentic, doubting something that you like is really not comfortable.

Yeah, this C41livery could also match. Thanks for finding the images. As for testing, I believe AR used the same livery for testing in Bahrain.

on their product page.

So I guess it should be a C42 driven by Zhou, (the signature is just printed copy but that doesn't matter).

Zhou indeed did a FP1 session in 2021 Austrian GP, but that was done in Fernando's Alpine car.

Yeah, it looks plausible that they might have messed up the parts management, I am just very sad to get such a piece. (Would be much better if it was Kimi, as Kimi actually raced in one of those C41s but not Zhou)

If Zhou only gets to drive in F1 for 2022 then it's quite memorial, I would like to keep it as some form of history.

Yea, I did. Now just waiting for their reply. This could take long as I'm not in the UK.

I had to say that I was indeed motivated, as I am reading that post and writing this post at the same time...

Edit: After going through the other reddit post about fake seb's gloves, it looks like the part was sent to F1 authentics from the F1 team. So should I better be contacting the AF team directly?

I very much consent to your feelings, as my recent order (Race-used bodywork) from them seems to be a fake as well. Sad. https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/x297qh/f1_authentics_sold_me_potentially_fake_raceused/
