Chen Xiangbei's fastest lap in the practice session, 1 minute 32 seconds 422, can anyone break it!

The twenty-degree temperature and the track covered with rubber particles mean the track conditions are perfect.

After pushing a few laps with Rosberg, Chen Xiangbei's tires have entered the grip-depletion phase. He glanced at the countdown timer above the track and prepared for the end-of-session pit stop.

But at that moment, he saw the cars passing by him, all switching to soft red tires, realizing that something was about to happen.

Due to tire wear factors at the East Sea International Circuit, in most cases, medium yellow tires and hard white tires are used, with soft red rarely seen, especially not in long-distance tests.

Now, several major teams have simultaneously switched to soft red tires, meaning something unusual is happening!

"Odetto, the track conditions seem a bit strange, is there any problem at the pit stop?"

Chen Xiangbei asked Odetto through the team intercom.

"You'll know soon enough."

Odetto didn't directly inform him but hinted enigmatically.

Indeed, Chen Xiangbei quickly found out; after all the teams finished their warming laps, the full-throttle roar of the engines echoed through the sky, insulated even with a thick racing helmet.

Listening to the roar of the engines and feeling the cars whizzing past him, Chen Xiangbei realized these drivers were pushing for maximum speed!

No one anticipated that the "duel" between Chen Xiangbei and Rosberg would trigger a domino effect, causing many changes within the paddock.

Button, Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso, Weber...

These drivers, familiar in future generations, were now frantically pushing forward on the gas pedal, some to prove themselves in team competition, some aiming for the Chinese Grand Prix championship to secure their positions.

The core idea was only one, to be faster than Chen Xiangbei!

A minute-plus time can be long or short.

A series of new lap times appeared on the practice session leaderboard.

Many spectators on-site held their breath, hoping Chen Xiangbei's top position wouldn't be overtaken.

Unfortunately, sports competition isn't about wishes but about ability!

Light fuel, super power, drivers consciously pushing, these three combined mean faster lap times appear.

1 minute 32 seconds 401, Alonso first surpassed Chen Xiangbei's fastest lap.

Just a few seconds later, Vettel ran a time of 1 minute 32 seconds 357 to claim the top spot.

But Vettel did not become the fastest lap.

Hamilton, with a time of 1 minute 31 seconds 992, surpassed Schumacher's track record in practice, just like creating a new track record at the East Sea in the future!

As for Button and Weber, although they couldn't be faster than Chen Xiangbei, they both ran into the 1 minute 32 seconds 5.

In the span of a mere 0.5 seconds, six drivers squeezed in!

"Manager, do you think we need super power for the qualifying?"

After seeing the lap time leaderboard, Odetto asked Briatore.

Hua Bu could feel the other's "bad intentions," but the stakes made him hesitate to decide, not wanting to bet on the potential of an unforeseen blowout and withdrawal.

Seeing the Italian old rogue still silent, a mocking smile appeared on Odetto's face.

"Briatore, you're getting more cowardly as you age, even forgetting what a driver should truly pursue."

With identical words, Odetto returned the favor this time.

"A driver who only pursues profit won't win championships, let alone achieve greatness."

"Instead, a driver who single-mindedly pursues speed can surpass both opponents and themselves."

"Sawano, call North to pit; while the practice session hasn't ended, set the engine to super power mode!"
