Whenever a driver makes a mistake, the technician at the front jack position is the first to be impacted, directly knocked over by the energy released by the race car.

In F1 history, there have been countless incidents where drivers entry the pit and knock over their team engineers. About one-third of these incidents happen to technicians handling the front jack, highlighting the danger.

Odetto's presence at this position signifies absolute trust in Chen Xiangbei. He believes this kid can precisely control the F3 race car, contrary to what the audience and commentators might complain about.

Chen Xiangbei stomped the accelerator and drove into the pit area, then accurately stopped on the parking line. Odetto didn't hesitate for a moment, directly placing the jack at the front of the car, using the lever principle along with Mizutani Sho at the parking position, they lifted the entire car.

Meanwhile, Sawano Hiroyuki, Liang Chi, and others quickly proceeded with changes to the race car adjustment plan as per Chen Xiangbei's previous feedback after replacing the tires.

"By the way, Odetto, the tire wear discrepancy between front and rear is too large. It's advisable to set the front axle harder to reduce the inertia pressure brought by braking, and make the rear wheels softer to ensure traction when exiting corners."

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Xiangbei again shared his feedback on the tires.

"Mm."

Odetto replied simply, without saying anything extra.

Odetto's attitude today made Chen Xiangbei feel somewhat "unfamiliar."

He couldn't help but ask, "Odetto, do you have any opinions on my adjustment feedback?"

"What kind of opinions do you want to hear?"

"Like whether there are any issues."

To be honest, Chen Xiangbei wasn't 100% confident about his adjustment plan, given that he was driving an F3 car from a different era.

"No problem."

"Really no problem?"

"YES!"

Odetto gave an extremely affirmative answer; this time, he really couldn't find any faults with Chen Xiangbei.

Due to the numerous adjustments needed and insufficient manpower, the process of tuning the race car wasn't very fast.

When Sawano Hiroyuki made an OK gesture indicating the car could be released, there were only five minutes left till the practice session ended, and Chen Xiangbei theoretically could only run three laps in and out of the pit.

Actually, Chen Xiangbei couldn't run three laps; he had at most only one lap!

The reason being that no one could guarantee whether Chen Xiangbei truly possessed top-level racing tuning talent and if his feedback data was correct.

The team needed to leave room for one more pit adjustment for Sawano Hiroyuki before the practice session ended.

Chen Xiangbei understood this reasoning. As the race car drove back onto the East Bay Circuit, he began to unleash his full potential to challenge the limits of speed.

At this moment, Chen Xiangbei held nothing back, accelerating furiously, cutting corners decisively, showcasing a dramatically aggressive driving style, locking the broadcast cameras and tens of thousands of viewers' attention on his #13 race car.

"Fast! Exceedingly fast! Chen Xiangbei's speed after adjusting is astonishing, giving the impression of a tiger dominating the wild expanses."

"I don't know if Chen Xiangbei in the pit room has heard the doubts and debates from the outside world, seemingly now using his speed to respond forcefully, dismissing any talk of being unable to adapt to an F3 race car!"

The commentator Li Bing's tone was very excited; he likewise held high expectations for Chen Xiangbei.

Regarding commentator Luo Feng's words from Hong Kong Island, Li Bing felt quite stifled, understanding the subtle mocking undertone.

However, racing speaks through results, and Chen Xiangbei's lap time in the teens gave Li Bing no confident ground for rebuttal.

Now he had a premonition that Chen Xiangbei's test lap speed could make it into the top three!

Facts proved Li Bing's premonition was slightly off; Chen Xiangbei's test lap speed wasn't just in the top three.

The full-throttle lap clocked an extraordinary time on the large screen at the circuit, teaching everyone present a lesson in what true capabilities of an F1 test driver mean.

2 minutes 09.926 seconds!

He became the first driver in the practice session to run under 2 minutes 09 seconds, nearly breaking the pole position record!
