"But Europe is home to the strongest drivers on this planet. If you want to defeat them, you need to put in more effort and preparation."

With that, Odetto took out a pile of CDs and documents from his desk.

"I've spent a lot of time around the Japanese and remember an old Chinese saying: never fight an unprepared battle."

"The CDs contain data analysis of all the corners at the Silverstone Circuit, along with footage of F1 Drivers' cornering trajectories. The documents consist of information about your opponents in this race."

"You've got three days to memorize everything, with no margin for error."

Odetto didn't waste any words with Chen Xiangbei. He had been working in the paddock since the 70s and had seen countless top-tier drivers and prodigious talents.

Historical performance and past talents were worthless in his eyes; Odetto only valued a driver's current performance.

Moreover, European circuits differ from Asian circuits, and the FIA's control over private testing is extremely strict. Even entry-level events like the Renault European Cup wouldn't allow Chen Xiangbei to use the Silverstone Circuit as a regular practice track, like he could with Suzuka Circuit.

This meant that until the practice race, Chen Xiangbei wouldn't have a chance to familiarize himself with the Silverstone Circuit!

"Alright, Leader."

Without a hint of doubt, Chen Xiangbei agreed immediately.

In his past life, Chen Xiangbei had ingrained almost all F1 circuit maps into his mind using a racing simulator.

This didn't mean he could skip looking at the circuit data now.

The reason is simple: circuit layouts and corners aren't unchanging!

Most circuits are modified based on event requirements and safety concerns.

For instance, if a particular corner is prone to accidents, its speed might be reduced, or the corner might be straightened out.

Or if a circuit is difficult for overtaking, the layout might change significantly, or the track might be widened.

As for small changes like adjusting curbs and buffer zones, those happen almost every few years.

The Silverstone Circuit map in Chen Xiangbei's mind might not match the current Silverstone Circuit, so he still needed to study it again!

Odetto's face showed no change at Chen Xiangbei's 'obedient' response, but inside he was somewhat surprised and impressed.

Given his experience, he hadn't interacted with lower-tier formula drivers in a long time, imagining most young European drivers to be filled with rebellion, rarely agreeing readily to memorize such dull circuit data.

Many young drivers even think it's better to spend time on the track or simulator than 'memorizing books.'

Yet Odetto understood that improving as a driver was more about the process of learning.

You might take a corner with the fastest line and speed, but you'll never be the fastest across every part of a circuit; someone will find a more perfect line.

It's like an F1 qualifying session, where the circuit is generally divided into three timing sectors, and a driver might top the time in their best sector but show a slower sector color in areas they aren't as strong.

"Alright, you can leave now."

Odetto was equally brief, signaling Chen Xiangbei to start now.

As Chen Xiangbei left the office, Sawano Hiroyuki's face lit up with an amused smile, saying, "Leader, you've underestimated Xiangbei-kun a little; this isn't a challenge for him."

In his early days, running Super Formula, Sawano Hiroyuki had interactions with Odetto, making them somewhat acquainted.

Clearly, Odetto intended to give a young driver a tough initiation, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong opponent.

"Sawano, since you arrived at Super Dream Base, you've been praising this Chinese newcomer. There are just too many talented European drivers; I don't see anything special about him."

After a brief pause, Odetto added, "Being obedient can be counted as an advantage."

"I'm not praising; I'm just stating the truth more times than not."

"Leader, it won't take three days; at most two days, or maybe even tomorrow, Xiangbei-kun will give you a surprise."
