Any improvement of 0.1 seconds in tire change speed is achieved through the extreme coordination and countless practices of the technician team.

The "Big Three" level teams need to perform at least a thousand tire change practices each year to achieve the astonishing speed within two seconds.

The Super Dream Team is currently far, far behind!

No one in the technician team opposed Odetto's instructions; they knew there was no shortcut in tire change practice.

To be honest, the Super Aguri Team only competed in three races last year before withdrawing from F1, which means the entire technician team has not dealt with pit stop tire changes for over a year, so it's understandable to be rusty.

Moreover, the Super Aguri Team is itself a bottom-tier team, so we can't expect their technician team to rival top teams in quality. Whether or not the Super Dream Team can accomplish "rising from the ashes" depends on Odetto's leadership.

When the car underwent feedback calibration, Chen Xiangbei stepped out of the cockpit, approached Odetto, and asked him, "Odetto, how did I do?"

"Very well."

Without any hesitation or ambiguity, Odetto gave his evaluation without reservation.

"Are you speaking in irony?"

Odetto's unusual compliment left Chen Xiangbei somewhat suspicious.

"No, you truly did very well."

Having reached the F1 domain, Odetto had no reservations, and he didn't need to worry about Chen Xiangbei being "arrogant and complacent" anymore.

Good is good, and an F1 driver should indeed be in the spotlight and receive praise.

"Then let's calibrate according to the fastest setup for the Catalonia Circuit; I'll show even better performance!"

Inspired by Odetto's compliment, Chen Xiangbei instantly felt a surge of confidence.

He knew the personality of the Italian old man very well; there was absolutely no situation where a poorly performed run could be comforted and encouraged.

Receiving such an evaluation meant his performance had surely exceeded Odetto's expectations.

Given this, Chen Xiangbei wanted to be even faster!

"OK, then let me see your strength."

This time, Odetto did not discourage him. The Chinese Kid himself was no longer conservative, so why should he hold back?

Just run!

The single-lap speed record was right there, and Odetto wasn't worried about Chen Xiangbei lacking testing opportunities.

After crashing the PA108, there were nine other teams' old cars outside; strength and speed are the best assets to establish oneself in F1!

Yet, as Chen Xiangbei proceeded with full throttle, the excitement it brought to the team members did not match the "miracle" level of astonishment from before.

After calibration, the car's single-lap speed increased by another 1.5 seconds, merely over a second short of Jenson Button's fastest lap in last year's qualifier at the Catalonia Circuit.

But it's just this over one second that felt like a chasmly barrier in front of Chen Xiangbei, who couldn't break through after running more than ten laps.

To achieve the ultimate lap speed in F1 racing, "man and vehicle unity" must be thoroughly achieved, with no shortcomings anywhere. Aside from having plenty of simulator experience, Chen Xiangbei currently faces various large and small shortcomings in terms of track driving, real car operation, and physical fitness.

Only after overcoming these can he challenge Barrichello or Jenson Button's statuses!

Other teams can see Chen Xiangbei's test data, but they don't know his ideas and goals.

Otherwise, they might be jaw-droppingly shocked.

This kid ran three or four dozen laps in a day, totaling over two hundred kilometers, yet is dreaming of competing for Barrichello and Jenson Button's seats, as if he hasn't awakened from a dream.

Not to mention Jenson Button, who won the F1 World Championship in 2009, which no one in this era could foresee.

Barrichello, famed as the best No.2 driver in history, possibly without peer.

His career's sole regret was having a peak-era teammate named Michael Schumacher.

Whoever touches him faces doom!

Although Barrichello is now 37 years old, past his prime at Ferrari, he is not someone a rookie can challenge.

Does Chen Xiangbei have any sense?

Yet history often proves that drivers wanting to reach the pinnacle do need some lack of sense.

Without the arrogance of being the best in the world, you can never become the best in the world!

Track test training is conducted day by day, regardless of tire change time or Chen Xiangbei's lap speed, all improving slowly in terms of hundredths or even thousandths of a second.

The deeper into motorsports, the harder it is to witness truly transformative miracles.

Improvement requires ultimate team collaboration and muscle memory formed through hundreds, even thousands of practices.

Unfortunately, Chen Xiangbei's track test mileage did not proceed as he had imagined; having money doesn't mean he can recklessly conduct tests or achieve thousands of practices.

There are many factors causing this situation, and the first is that humans aren't machines.

Running sixty laps on a track is roughly three hundred kilometers, the standard lap count for an F1 race.

Even if Chen Xiangbei's current physical fitness is weak, an official F1 driver loses several kilograms in water weight during a race and needs a week to recover; how can anyone run three hundred kilometers daily?

The second reason is that the machine can't take it either!

An F1 car with a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, squeezing out over seven hundred horsepower, can only imagine the pressure on cylinder materials.

In full power operation, an F1 event engine's theoretical lifespan is only one race!

Yes, you read that right, just one race.

F1 teams typically ensure longevity by only running full or over-power during crucial moments like qualifying for several minutes; most often, they hold back a bit.
