Interestingly, during the 2018 F1 Chinese Grand Prix, British Sky Sports sports commentator Martin Brundle came up to Su Zifeng while patrolling the grid before the race and asked: “Do you speak English?”
Su Zifeng, who has an advanced engineering degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and had previously pushed AMD for a major change, replied, “Yes.” He added, “I’m from AMD and we sponsor Ferrari Racing.”
At that time, AMD announced a multi-year collaboration agreement with Scuderia Ferrari, and the AMD brand also appeared prominently on the Ferrari F1 racing car and team-related assets.
But Martin Brundle seemed unaware that he was talking to the AMD CEO and still referred to him as a “passerby” he met suddenly. The video later went viral on the Internet, and in the years since the video was leaked in 2018, AMD has rapidly emerged as a semiconductor giant, with its stock price increasing by more than 5,000%.
