"Splendid!"
"I simply can’t find the right words to describe Xiangbei’s overtaking; the moves are extrely sharp and fast, a definite all-or-nothing resolve."
"Riding the curb to widen the corner, accelerating a second ti within the turn, precisely finding the apex, etc.—each operation is not at a standard a rookie can reach, not to ntion his opponent is Masa from the Ferrari Team!"
"Could it be that Driver Xiangbei is really going to reach the podium?"
Red quickly narrated the overtaking scene, his tone filled with amazent and passion.
He originally thought Chen Xiangbei could catch up to Masa purely relying on the yellow flag slowdown caused by the track accident.
Now it seems he underestimated the rookie from China!
Driver Xiangbei is not just fast; both the initial "pendulum" car save and the incredibly precise curb overtaking are far beyond the level a rookie should possess.
It’s not only about technical factors but also mindset and experience.
The timing was captured so expertly that Masa seed utterly powerless to resist!
"Masa, what exactly happened that you got overtaken by rookie Xiangbei?"
The voice from the Ferrari Team sounded in the earphones, surprising in tone and carrying a hint of "accusation."
Normally, when a team’s driver is overtaken, the managent at most beats their chest and stamps their feet in the pit box, not openly questioning through radio communication, which is aningless except to ss up the driver’s mindset.
But the situation now is abnormal!
The Ferrari strategy team can’t understand why Masa was overtaken by a track rookie in two laps during a rain battle.
Even though Masa is famously a "landlubber," his difficulty with rain battles is only relative to historically legendary GOTA drivers.
It’s not shaful to be unable to compare to Senna or Schumacher!
Just like an F1 driver’s level is only compared against the world’s top twenty.
In other professional races, even the greenest Ino Yuji would crush the competition like a dinsional-reduced blitz.
Yet Masa got overtaken...
This is as absurd as Senna being overtaken by Masa in a rain battle!
"I..."
Masa pressed the communication button on the steering wheel, instinctively wanting to explain sothing.
After uttering the word "I," he couldn’t continue speaking; he could only silently let go of the button.
Defeat renders any explanation powerless.
Moreover, even Masa himself doesn’t understand how he lost!
Keep in mind that compared to the asphalt, the curb is already slippery, and further soaked by rain, there’s almost no grip at all.
In such a situation, completing an overtaking maneuver using the curb requires incredibly precise alignnt of the tires and curb center point, relying on the car’s own weight and aerodynamic downforce to prevent tire slippage.
To achieve this standard, centiter-level control is necessary.
Not so dictionary-thick ten centiters—only one centiter of this kind of centiter-level!
No slipping, no losing control; Chen Xiangbei just managed it.
Even if Masa asked himself the sa question, he wouldn’t have over a fifty percent chance of success running it ten tis.
Did the rookie from China just gamble on that fifty percent probability and win?
Listening to Masa’s abrupt silence, his race engineer Sdley wanted to continue probing.
The team leader Donicali shut off the team communication and shook his head at Sdley.
Rushing won’t help. To understand what truly happened, they must at least wait until the race ends.
In fact, in a way, the Ferrari Team managent already knows the answer; they just aren’t ready to accept it yet.
"Wow, Chen Xiangbei, you took down Masa!"
"The towering Ferrari Team can’t outperform HRT now?"
"Rain battles are the sole standard to test a driver’s true strength; Driver Xiangbei will beco the strongest rookie this year, indisputably!"
"Xiangbei, I saw Senna’s madness back in the day, and today I witness the speed of a Chinese rookie!"
The live audience has gone mad; this is not just about Chinese fans but over half of the fans from Europe and Australia, changing tune and cheering with all kinds of applause and cheers.
If there was a possibility of capital maneuver when Chen Xiangbei "skipped classes" to enter the F1 paddock,
then now, having chased Masa twice in succession and ultimately completed an overtaking maneuver in a rain battle, he has shown real driving skill and talent.
The tag "genius driver" is common in the F1 paddock; anyone who managed to secure an official driver seat at so point bore the title of a genius youngster.
At this mont, the F1 paddock is bound to welco a genius driver from China!
Sitting at the outdoor command post, Sawano Hiroyuki, listening to the cheers for Chen Xiangbei, told Odetto with excitent: "Leader, did you see it? This is the strength of Xiangbei in a rain battle."
Faced with Sawano Hiroyuki’s words, Odetto montarily didn’t know how to respond.
At this mont, surprise outweighs joy.
Odetto, once the leader of the Super Aguri Team, has long interacted with Japanese engineers; he knows this group is relatively conservative and practical, or in another way, career-hierarchy strict, not daring to speak nonsense to their superiors.
As a result, when Sawano Hiroyuki said "showti," Odetto felt more skeptical.
Now he understands, Sawano Hiroyuki wasn’t exaggerating at all.
No wonder from the practice race onward, Chen Xiangbei had been anticipating the rain battle; this guy’s aggressive extre operation really faintly resembles young Senna.
