You must know that the tire size of F3 racing cars is relatively small, theoretically making the tire change speed faster. Odetto believed that the minimum standard should be within 3 seconds, but he didn't expect it to be close to four seconds.
If this were a heated F1 race, a mere second of delay in tire changing would be enough for the opponent's team to overtake them!
Of course, saying this now is meaningless; all you can do is improve team coordination and tire change speed through countless mechanical exercises.
As the green light lit up at the end of the tire change, Chen Xiangbei hit the gas and drove out of the pit lane.
Although the Dream Team's tire change took a whopping 3.7 seconds, all other F3 teams were slower, none were faster.
The number of engineers dispatched from F1 is limited; they only assist in car setup and do not serve as technician teams to help with tire changes.
No matter how low the F1 team stands, it is still F1 Level, and the F3 team simply cannot compete.
Chen Xiangbei was already ahead in speed, and combined with his tire change advantage, the race now had no suspense.
Even when there was a crash later, and the race organizer deployed the yellow flag prohibiting overtaking, allowing Ricardo to catch up, there was still no chance for him to overtake.
The reason is that in Chen Xiangbei's cruising state, the tire wear is maintained very well, and Ricardo, in the fierce fight, had long surpassed the peak grip, significantly different in speed in the corners from the two cars.
"The race has reached the final lap, the Chinese driver Chen Xiangbei is far in the lead, with UK Renault champion driver Ricardo nearly 2 seconds behind once again!"
"This time there will be no safety car deployment, even if there was, it would be impossible to overtake Chen Xiangbei in the final lap."
"I think the race result certainly surpasses many people's pre-race predictions, no one would have thought that a substitute Chinese rookie would demonstrate his dominant strength in the F3 series."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the black and white checkered flag has waved on the track, let us congratulate the Chinese driver Bei, who became the F3 series Spa Station's first-round champion!"
As commentator James's words ended, the Chinese supporters in the grandstand roared with excitement, nearly everyone was frantically waving their arms, clapping, and cheering in the direction of Chen Xiangbei.
"Chen Xiangbei, champion!"
"So damn strong, European drivers are nothing, Chen Xiangbei is the real racing genius!"
"The Australian Grand Prix champion proves Chen Xiangbei is Asia's strongest F3 driver, I feel like he could already be called the world's strongest F3 driver now."
"Don't pop the champagne halfway; there's still the second-round reverse grid race tomorrow."
Exclamations arose, even knowing this was only the victory of the first round, the audience couldn't control their excitement.
Chen Xiangbei once defeated a Renault-level European driver, and now he has defeated an F3 level European racing genius.
This time, Chen Xiangbei stands for Chinese drivers, with one foot on top of the world!
Chen Xiangbei then pushed open the visor on his helmet, looked at the enthusiastic crowd in the grandstand, and the waving red flags, raising his fist high in response.
In this race, he fulfilled his promise, giving no hope to his opponents!
"Xiangbei, you raced beautifully!"
"GOOD JOB, Bei."
"Brother Bei, you are the best driver!"
Congratulations came through the headphones from the members of the Dream Team pit crew, their tone somewhat uncontrollable.
Chen Xiangbei not only won an F3 race victory, but he might also have won himself a ticket to F1!
"Bei, he really proved himself."
Ross Brown stood in the Brown GP Team's pit box, saying this meaningfully.
Before the race, due to the Super Driver's License issue, he had comforted Chen Xiangbei, hoping the Chinese kid wouldn't be affected.
At that time, Chen Xiangbei was very calm, boldly saying he would take out all the F3 opponents, so the FIA would have no excuse to refuse him.
Young people's bold words to encourage themselves are very normal, Ross Brown marveled at Chen Xiangbei's big heart.
Now it seems, it was not just bravado; Chen Xiangbei had absolute confidence in this race and had prepared everything to prove himself.
Facts have proven, the Chinese kid did it!
