The Renault engine roared fiercely, and on the track, Chen Xiangbei had the pedal to the metal, exploiting the slipstream effect for extreme acceleration, almost instantly catching up to the car ahead, Mansell.

[This Chinese Kid is so fast?]

Watching the rearview mirror as the distance closed, gradually filling the entire mirror space with the No. 13 car, the expression on Mansell's face was full of disbelief.

He sped up to block Chen Xiangbei's flying lap, indeed with the intention of provoking and annoying him. As the offending party, he initiated trouble, which was simply a typical superior mentality of European drivers, thinking that the Chinese rookie's failure to "yield" was an offense.

Don't think this mentality is rare. In fact, even on the road with drivers cutting in and out, there is plenty of overconfidence, thinking others must yield to them, just wanting to win regardless.

Moreover, being the son of the "Lion King" old Mansell, on home turf at the United Kingdom's Donington Park Circuit, would they tolerate you, this Chinese Kid?

It's just that Mansell is wicked yet not foolish.

He knows the prior unsafe release didn't receive a penalty, which was the FIA turning a blind eye. If there's malicious blocking during the flying lap again, the two combined would make it impossible for the stewards to ignore.

Thus, Mansell chose to accelerate by stepping on the gas, prematurely occupying Chen Xiangbei's inside line before the corner to annoy him, instead of directly "drawing dragons" on the straight to block him, making such actions too blatant, with no excuses during post-race investigations.

But Mansell never expected Chen Xiangbei's overtaking speed to be that fast!

After all, in the Renault European Cup Silverstone's first race, Chen Xiangbei only showed his speed in single laps and long-distance stability, not displaying the exciting "wheel-to-wheel" offensive and defensive skills.

He, during the starting phase, faced with the onslaught from Costa and Magnussen, smartly swapped positions to fish for benefits.

Precisely because of this, Mansell saw it as a symbol of Chen Xiangbei's "weakness."

The real man should defend like a lion, not choose to "escape" like a coward.

As a result, Mansell just slighted a bit, not strongly changing lanes to block him, and was instantly caught up by the Chinese Kid with the slipstream, completely beyond Mansell's plan.

However, he is still calm, with the corner right ahead, both cars entered the braking zone, he occupies the best entry line.

Should Chen Xiangbei not slow down, based on the Chinese Kid's current speed, even if he completes the overtaking, he would fly off the track due to excessive speed.

If he slows down, there's not enough room for both cars to turn the corner siding by side, he would still have to obediently follow behind, inhaling exhaust fumes.

Mansell occupies the absolute advantage, he only needs to hold the corner entry line!

This scene on the track was clearly seen by James in the broadcast studio.

Initially, he thought this was just a commonplace flying lap fast car overtaking a slower one, but when he saw Mansell's car accelerate, he instantly realized that the situation had changed, the young Brit was engaging in a "grudge match."

"The driver on the flying lap, Xiangbei, is preparing to overtake the slower car Mansell ahead, but based on the actions and speed changes of the car ahead, it seems Mansell isn't planning to let Xiangbei pass easily."

"WOW, the two cars are side by side in the corner, will Xiangbei be able to complete this high-difficulty overtaking?"

Commentator James just realized the "grudge" moves from both drivers, while the spectators could hardly anticipate the confrontation filled with tension for a commonplace flying lap overtaking of a slower car.

"What's going on, slow cars not yielding during a flying lap?"

Muttered a spectator, aware that be it rule-based or conventionally understood between drivers.

The slower car ahead encounters a flying lap fast car, they should proactively yield the line if conditions allow, or face a penalty of being dropped at least three positions during the official race.

"Both cars are entering the turn, how can Mansell yield with no space?"

Debated another UK race fan, arguing that lack of yielding space in corners falls within reasonable bounds.

"Nonsense, Mansell is clearly speeding up on the straight, he's maliciously blocking!"

"Not only maliciously blocking, but it's plain malicious revenge, with the cause clearly in the unsafe release from the pit lane."

"The problem is, the unsafe release cause was driven by Mansell himself, how can he have the nerve to cry foul?"

Standing in the stands, supporters of Chen Xiangbei, upon realizing the whole story, were filled with indignation.

They've seen shameless, but not to this extent of shamelessness.

The responsible party for the unsafe release even made a provoking middle finger gesture, Chen Xiangbei's ignoring it was already regarded as tolerance and leniency.

Still, Mansell shamelessly continues pestering, maliciously blocking on the track in revenge, clearly taking advantage of Chen Xiangbei having no backing, being a rookie from China?

But the ensuing scene will overturn the understanding of this group of righteous spectators…

Just as the No. 13 and No. 9 cars went side by side into the corner, Mansell judged accurately, Chen Xiangbei's current speed was already at the limit of grip around the corner, unable to accelerate further, otherwise he would fly off the track.

But Chen Xiangbei never intended to overtake!

The two cars used an extremely dangerous method, almost synchronously performing turning and cutting lines in the corner, close enough that they could clearly see the patterns on each other's helmets.
