Li Bing kept explaining the starting situation in the paddock, until the director focused the camera on the middle group, capturing Kubica's determined blocking of Chen Xiangbei.

"Kubica is a very talented and promising driver; at the Bahrain Grand Prix, he lost to Chen Xiangbei in the offense and defense battle, and foreign media have been reporting that he is trying to regain the upper hand."

"Now Kubica is blocking Chen Xiangbei again. At the T1 corner, will he reclaim the lead, or will Chen Xiangbei defend his home ground? Let's wait and see!"

Though Li Bing said so, he wasn't confident about Chen Xiangbei's overtaking at the T1 corner.

On one hand, Kubica is strong, and his defensive will is very resolute.

On the other hand, the T1 corner is currently very congested, with little space for overtaking, not to mention Schumacher is lurking behind.

If Chen Xiangbei is not careful, he might let Schumacher benefit like a fisherman.

Never underestimate the strongest driver's ability in F1 history to seize opportunities!

Chen Xiangbei indeed had no good chance to overtake Kubica while entering the corner but faced with the situation of front wolves and rear tigers, he maintained an extremely calm posture and did not rush to attack recklessly.

His trump card has never been on conventional corner entry but on cornering!

[Kubica, get ready for the move I prepared for Schumacher.]

As the cars sliced through the T1 complex corners, Chen Xiangbei's number 13 car accelerated within the corner.

The difficulty of the full curve tracking brake does not lie in control. To put it simply, as long as one can become an F1 driver, there won't be some uncontrollable driving skill; otherwise, the gap wouldn't be measured in seconds, but minutes down the entire track.

Except for someone like Ino Yuji, who truly hasn't driven F1.

Driving skills are like textbooks lying there; all F1 drivers can learn them, but applying them on the track tests a driver's talent and strength.

Chen Xiangbei's understanding of the T1 complex corners, not to exaggerate, surpassed all drivers of this era, including King of Cars Schumacher.

Kubica had no chance to block in this super-high difficulty cornering.

The combination of speed and control gave birth to an extreme cornering scene, and Chen Xiangbei, using an eerie posture like a black phantom, overtook Kubica's tail wing inside the corner.

While the opponent had not realized what happened, Chen Xiangbei's speed continued to increase within the corner, with the two cars like two arcs crossing the sky, clearly the inside corner distance is shorter, requiring lower grip.

But the outside arc was faster, until before the next reverse corner came, the overtaking was completely finished.

[What happened?]

If at the opening race, Kubica knew he lost due to tire disadvantage.

This time, he didn't even understand how he lost!

He occupied the inside line and didn't leave much outside space for Chen Xiangbei while keeping a balance between grip and speed, always wandering on the edge of tire slippage.

Why could Chen Xiangbei still overtake at a faster speed?

Understanding where one loses allows one to correct defects and win next time.

When the reason can't be found, it's equivalent to not knowing how to win!

Before the accident, Kubica was very confident and proud, believing that between him and a world champion only a faster car was missing.

But now he was a bit doubtful, am I really not as good as Chen Xiangbei?

While Kubica couldn't figure out the reason, Schumacher, who followed Chen Xiangbei, could see it clearly.

To be honest, being overtaken at the start was more about his "pain."

Time flies, unable to resist the erosion by years.

But at this moment, he was more shocked by Chen Xiangbei's driving skills!

The first driver to run full curve tracking brake control at East Sea International Circuit was Schumacher himself; it can be said that all successors are imitators.

No one understood how to run the T1 complex corners better, and no one ran them faster than Schumacher!

But just recently, Schumacher saw a completely new cornering route, faster and smoother than his own.

Purely optimizing the cornering route was enough to shock, yet Chen Xiangbei also achieved perfect throttle coordination, with tire grip just on the verge of spinning, as if deepening the throttle a bit would make it slip.

The Chinese newcomer, originally so familiar with the home track, and possessing such solid fundamentals.

The pole position that broke the track record was by no means accidental; the whole world underestimated him!

"Beautiful, Chen Xiangbei!"

"Started and overtook to eighth at the T1 complex corners, thrilling to watch!"

"Kubica is no match at all; Car God Bei is truly terrifying!"

"Charge, Chen Xiangbei!"

The exciting overtaking scene and fierce confrontations made the Chinese audience on the stands feel for the first time what speed and passion meant, experiencing the charm of Formula One racing.

It's not just running circles around the track but the pinnacle product of technology and industry on this planet!

Of course, some drivers can showcase superb driving skills, while others don't have the absolute control ability.

The ultra-high tail speed on the starting straight combined with the congestion from several cars jostling for position caused Indian Force's Riu and Virgin Team's Grassi to fail to brake and rush into the gravel buffer zone.

And due to excessive speed, the cars bottomed out spinning, forcing them to shut down voluntarily and retire to avoid engine overheating and accidents, waiting for a tow truck to move the cars away.

Additionally, Saub Team's de la Rosa collided with Red Bull Junior Team's Buemi while fighting for position, suffering varying degrees of damage to the front wing and side pods, forcing them to pit next lap for replacement or repair.

Considering the damage and wasted time, they will most likely choose to retire early.

That means just a T1 corner caused four cars to retire. The East Sea International Circuit is far more challenging and dangerous than imagined!

The chaos of the rear drivers didn't affect the battle of the front drivers.

After the T3 corner, Chen Xiangbei reached the rear of the seventh-positioned Barrichello, looking aggressively.

"Barrichello, watch your defense; Bei's speed is fast."

Race engineer Ross's voice came through the earphones; under normal circumstances, he wouldn't so urgently alert, let alone the pursuer being a rookie driver.

No matter how much Barrichello is past his prime, he still maintained world third-place strength last year and was closely matched with the champions in points, capable of overturning and winning by obtaining more individual event victories.

However, Chen Xiangbei's previous overtaking posture was undeniably too fierce.

To use a Chinese poetic phrase, it embodies "swallowed miles like a tiger!"

Sitting next to him, Sir Williams had a very serious expression; for this race, he had high expectations for Barrichello, not just to score for the team but to compete for the podium.

Yet, before Barrichello could even accelerate, he was chased down by Driver Bei, which was quite unacceptable.

Including Trulli, who deliberately slowed down two cars; Chen Xiangbei, the Chinese kid, overtook three drivers in three corners. Will Barrichello be the fourth?

"Boss, Bei's speed is truly fast."

Williams's chief race engineer Pal couldn't help but marvel.

During his ten-plus-year career, he had never seen such a fast rookie driver, not even the super-genius Raikkonen and Hamilton demonstrated such terrifying overtaking abilities in their third rookie season race.

If it were just at the end, it might be okay, but the ones overtaken were top drivers like Schumacher and Kubica.

Even considering the home track advantage, it still doesn't adequately describe Chen Xiangbei's speed, which is truly astonishing.

"Grandpa said that Bei is a super genius in the racing world!"

Emily proudly praised in response to Pal's marvel, forgetting she was in Williams Team's control room.

Until she spoke out, feeling the crowd's strange glances in the team, she realized her words were inappropriate, and immediately bit her tongue, stopping herself.

Of course, Sir Williams wouldn't mind the words of a junior.

He kept his eyes locked on the broadcast camera; Chen Xiangbei was fast, but it wasn't easy to overtake Barrichello.

This is the historically strongest second driver.

If not for Schumacher, Barrichello would have claimed more than one world championship!
