"1 minute 31.991 seconds, Alonso took the fastest lap with an advantage of 0.004 seconds, truly deserving of being the strongest driver in the paddock!"

Even standing from the perspective of the Chinese, Sha Tong and Li Bing both eagerly hoped for Chen Xiangbei to secure pole position.

However, as commentators, they still had to explain and congratulate the excellent performances of the other drivers.

Especially when Alonso secured the fastest lap, the stands erupted with cheers no less than those for Chen Xiangbei.

Once the king of the blue Renault team, now donned in the red Ferrari battle attire, with dual buffs, perhaps only the King of Cars, Schumacher, could rival his number of fans and global influence.

Even Kimi Raikkonen, when facing Alonso, had to concede slightly.

In the HRT Team's pit room, seeing this scene, no one spoke, waiting for Chen Xiangbei's first flying lap result.

1 minute 32.019 seconds!

This result cannot be considered poor, even viewed from a rookie standard, it can definitely be described as extremely excellent.

Yet, for Chen Xiangbei, it was still not enough. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Odetto, what is my current ranking?"

At the first opportunity, Chen Xiangbei asked on the mic.

Nobody expected more than him to secure pole at the home track of the East Sea International Circuit.

"Not fast enough, bring out your speed a bit more!"

Odetto didn't tell Chen Xiangbei the speed and ranking, just said it wasn't fast enough.

In this situation, worrying about numbers held no meaning, until the qualifying was over, no one knew how fast the opponents could run.

Odetto only had one target for Chen Xiangbei, to push to the extreme with all his might!

Indeed, the track situation evolved as Odetto expected.

1 minute 31.898 seconds, 1 minute 31.885 seconds, 1 minute 31.864 seconds…

Several drivers at the front of qualifying were in a state of explosion, continuously challenging the limits of the car and the track, improving with minuscule thousandths of a second gaps.

For top drivers, to bring out the full performance of a car could be considered basic skills.

When the overpowered mode is fully turned on, what's now visible is who can reach 102% of their state, even approaching a lap touchingly close to divine.

The third qualifying session is only a short ten minutes, accounting for the warm-up and cool-down laps, meaning most scenarios allow for just two valid flying laps timed.

Moreover, in this extreme PUSH state, even a set of brand-new soft tires could only withstand the peak grip value of two flying laps, and not necessarily stand in special circumstances.

As every second ticked away, the fastest lap in Q3 had already been about 0.4 seconds faster than Chen Xiangbei's first flying lap, and similarly 0.13 seconds faster than the 1 minute 31.995 seconds Chen Xiangbei ran in the second qualifying session.

0.13 seconds is just the blink of an eye, many people wouldn't even realize the passage of time without staring at a stopwatch.

Yet in F1 racing, it seemed like a chasm.

But Chen Xiangbei intended to overcome it!

When he truly unleashed his full power, no longer concerned with the engine's lifespan, the entire world would understand that the term "home ground of China" was more than just words.

Behind it represented a full ten years of simulator experience, representing countless days and nights of longing and desire, representing Chen Xiangbei's once unattainable dream.

When the number 1 minute 31.686 seconds appeared on the track's big screen.

The world's first reaction was pin-drop silence, everyone doubted their own eyes, wondering if they were mistaken.

After confirming the number again, along with the pinyin of the name Chen Xiangbei.

The East Sea International Circuit, capable of holding 200,000 spectators, erupted in an overwhelming roar.

That's right, Chen Xiangbei did it, in the final lap, he forcefully improved by 0.6 seconds, surpassing all the opponents to run the fastest lap in the East Sea International Circuit qualifying.

It can also be declared in advance that Chen Xiangbei secured the pole position for the 10th season of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix.

This was the first pole position belonging to a Chinese driver!
