This resume is absolutely explosive, the equivalent to someone like Leclerc or Piastri in future generations—definitely the team's new core young talent development target.

For this reason, when Staler recommended Chen Xiangbei, Sir Williams showed no interest at all.

This rookie ace card in his hand was too fierce, he didn't need to consider others anymore.

But now, Chen Xiangbei's performance is making him tempted.

Compared to the 22-year-old Hulkenberg, it is clear that the 19-year-old Chen Xiangbei has greater potential!

But giving up a known S-grade rookie card to gamble on a potential S-grade rookie lottery, even the most insane gambler would find it hard to make such a decision.

Sir Williams wants it all, but the Williams Team lacks the strength and attraction to pull it off.

On the track, Chen Xiangbei was still racing fast, and after completing the Red River Bend and the long straight, Ricardo, in second place, could no longer catch his slipstream and even had to face attacks from Bottas and other drivers from behind.

This means that as long as Chen Xiangbei stabilizes at this moment, he will enter "cruise mode."

"Xiangbei-kun, the pressure on the tires and engine is high, also pay attention to brake cooling, it's best not to push further."

From the TR came Sawano Hiroyuki's timely reminder, the full power push with heavy fuel load created mechanical pressure that was clearly greater than the light fuel load during qualifying.

Now, the temperatures of the tires and brakes were obviously rising, even the engine power was pushed to the limit.

If Chen Xiangbei continued to push, there was a high possibility of mechanical failure.

In the coming races, he needed more to showcase his long-distance cruising ability.

"Got it."

Chen Xiangbei simply replied; even without Sawano Hiroyuki's reminder, he had no intention to keep pushing forward.

The reason is simple; even the earlier "Schumacher route" was a gamble for Chen Xiangbei, and he didn't actually have much assurance.

After all, a simulator is different from reality and there's no chance to restart.

If lost, at best the race would end early, at worst there could be fatal accidents.

Since he won his gamble, naturally, Chen Xiangbei wouldn't bet a second time.

A wise saying goes, gamble long enough and you will lose!

The reason he chose such an aggressive plan was not because Chen Xiangbei was as arrogant and "heedless of others" as he appeared externally; in fact, he knew the capabilities of Ricardo and Bottas better than anyone.

If he didn't start by using 120% speed to shake off those behind him, he would certainly become the primary target of attack.

Spa is a track easy for overtaking with a significant advantage for trailing cars catching slipstream.

As long as Bottas and Bianchi were not fools, they surely wouldn't be the first to attack Ricardo, they would definitely "watch" Ricardo and him battle and wait for their chance.

Chen Xiangbei knew that once drawn into a battle with Ricardo, it would be difficult to shake him off again; the lap speed Ricardo could unleash in his potential combined with slipstream would not be inferior to Chen Xiangbei.

Thus, he could only use an unexpected strategy, being unimaginably aggressive to instantly widen the gap with Ricardo behind.

Without him as the focal target, the drivers behind would fall into a state of "in-fighting."

It should be known that before Chen Xiangbei stepped in, Ricardo, Bottas, and Bianchi had very close scores, being hot contenders for the F3 year-end championship.

Even with Chen Xiangbei's presence, his most likely achievement would be a station championship, the most valuable year-end champion title would still arise amongst these three drivers.

Without a doubt, they would not maintain "peaceful coexistence."

The reality unfolded as Chen Xiangbei anticipated: as the No. 13 car gradually raced away, realizing they couldn't pursue in a short time, Bottas immediately adjusted his strategy attempting to overtake Ricardo.

Ricardo was equally prepared, he started taking a defensive driving line, leaving no chance for the opponent.

"In just half a lap, the track already displayed two groups, with the Chinese driver North using extremely aggressive full throttle line cutting, shaking off opponents and leading upfront."

"The second group of drivers have now fallen into mutual attacking and defending entanglements, especially Ricardo in the front row, he no longer has the strength to pursue driver North."

"Given how the situation continues, time will give rise to the scenario of North's divided leading."

"Could this Spa Station event become North's F3 domination battle?"

James's tone was excited, he had foreseen Chen Xiangbei's high likelihood of winning the championship.

But he hadn't foreseen Chen Xiangbei extinguishing the suspense so swiftly!

Sitting beside him, guest Klas heard these words with complex emotions.

He wanted to refute them, but couldn't find any argument to support his view.

He could only sulkily respond: "There isn't much tactical space in F3, if this were an F1 race, we might consider an undercut."

"Undercut" is a professional tactical term in F1, roughly meaning using a pit stop's new tire advantage to allow the trailing car to overtake the front car.

Theoretically, due to the presence of slipstream, the trailing car should be faster than the leading one.

But in actual races, this isn't always the case.

Due to F1's complex aero dynamic package, one must consider turbulent flow and engine efficiency.

If only two cars are running on the track, they will form a stable "air route," the trailing car just needs to be in the slipstream range.

But if there are several cars "making a train" ahead, then the slipstream "vacuum region" won't be that stable, and the air would turn into turbulent flow, instead affecting the trailing car's aerodynamic efficiency, making it unable to accelerate!
