In contrast, Sawano Hiroyuki has the advantage of the older generation of Japanese drivers, with extremely solid basic skills.

He collaborated with Mizutani Sho, and astonishingly, they found Costa's driving mistakes through the unclear broadcast footage.

No one can perfectly control the entire track. Since Chen Xiangbei has too many corrections in certain corners, Costa similarly has issues with imprecise lines.

T9 Schwatz Bend is where Chen Xiangbei can overtake!

"Sawano, when you say imprecise lines, do you mean Costa's understeering in the corner?"

"Xiangbei, you know?"

In the TR, Sawano Hiroyuki was extremely surprised and asked in return. He didn't expect Chen Xiangbei to have already noticed the flaw.

"Yes."

Chen Xiangbei responded softly, compared to Sawano Hiroyuki observing through video recordings; he had been trailing Costa for ten laps, naturally gaining full insight into Costa's lines.

Costa tends towards understeering driving, which is considered the mainstream style of this era.

Alonso and Hamilton are the same.

Under normal circumstances, the style has no advantages or disadvantages, but in front of different corner characteristics, it will sometimes expose some shortcomings.

For example, the combination of T8, T9 at Donington Park Circuit, with the consecutive high-speed right-left-right-left turns, requires the racecar's center of gravity to move quickly, necessitating drivers to quickly adjust the steering wheel angle between two corners to maintain the overall balance of the vehicle.

The understeering style often requires turning the steering wheel over one hundred degrees for wide-open corners when faced with the one-to-one steering ratio of Formula cars. Both hands find themselves in an extremely awkward and uncomfortable joint angle.

Then immediately, they need to counter-steer over a hundred degrees, roughly adding up to a full circle when combining left and right steering. Without top-tier skills, it is challenging to achieve absolute precision.

Undoubtedly, Costa does not reach this level of skill.

Trailing behind for several laps, Chen Xiangbei had already discovered Costa's errors in line, but he did not rashly initiate an attack.

Previously, Dixon's strong defense made Chen Xiangbei aware of an issue: his current "hatred level" is quite high.

If he does not have an absolutely secure opportunity, a hard overtake is likely to trigger a collision. Particularly since Costa was tricked by him in the last race, with new grudges and old grievances combined, this guy might rather crash out than let a pass happen easily.

So, Chen Xiangbei did not alert the snake, allowing his opponent to gradually relax through lap after lap of following, thinking he couldn't pass.

"Sawano, how far am I from Magnussen now?"

"2.41 seconds."

"It's time."

With ten laps remaining in the race, for Chen Xiangbei to catch Magnussen means he has to be 0.241 seconds faster than his opponent per lap.

Adding the time needed for overtaking, Chen Xiangbei must be at least 0.3 seconds faster per lap to have assured victory.

This lap will be the moment when Chen Xiangbei overtakes Costa!

Gazing at the upcoming T8 bend, Chen Xiangbei pressed the accelerator pedal all the way down, directly biting Costa's tail. At this moment, the distance between the two cars can already be measured in centimeters.

Costa felt the engine roar coming from behind, growing closer, and in the rearview mirror, he could only see half of Chen Xiangbei's car, but he was not overly flustered.

The reason is that Chen Xiangbei had performed this maneuver before, which created a "boy who cried wolf" misconception.

Subsequently, the scene unfolded exactly as Costa had expected, as Chen Xiangbei followed him into the T8 bend without making a move.

However, as they exited the corner into T9 Schwatz Bend, Costa misjudged the steering wheel due to being pursued by Chen Xiangbei, making the cornering speed too fast. The car evidently exhibited characteristics of understeering.

At that precise moment, in the broadcast screen, Chen Xiangbei's number 13 car appeared ghost-like beside Costa, and then, relying on more precise steering lines, quickly overtook Costa's entire car body, completing the overtake flawlessly and precisely.

During the entire process, Costa could only watch as Chen Xiangbei passed by, even if he wanted to hard steer to block with a collision impulse, it was to no avail.

The understeer brought by understeering style left him unable to make any moves!

"NICE!"

"Xiangbei, you did a great job!"

"Awesome, Xiangbei!"

The Super Dream Team Pit was in an uproar; Chen Xiangbei genuinely achieved the "spoken will come true" feat.

He said he would overtake at T9 Schwatz Bend, and he really did it!

What's even more terrifying is that only the Super Dream Team's strategy group knows that Chen Xiangbei had already calculated Costa to death; his opponent's attempts to block from start to finish were merely a pipe dream.

This keen observation skill, coupled with ten laps of patience, entirely goes beyond the extreme mental limit for a rookie driver!

Even Costa himself, seeing Chen Xiangbei in front, couldn't quite believe his eyes. Obviously blocking perfectly, not giving the opponent any chance, how did he overtake so effortlessly?

Where exactly did it go wrong?

"GOOD!"

James shouted, and simultaneously turned his gaze towards Mike.

Facts prove, driver Xiangbei indeed possesses over-the-class performance abilities!

"Audience, the Chinese driver Xiangbei has completed the overtaking of P2 driver Costa with ten laps remaining in the race, leaving only the race leader Magnussen ahead of him."

"To be honest, that scene just now left me at a loss, not understanding how Xiangbei managed to overtake Costa so easily, it was as smooth and relaxed as a casual stroll."
