Watching Dong Yuanxi look at him, Chen Xiangbei smiled and asked a question.

"Hmm."

This time Dong Yuanxi didn't avoid it, nodding and responding.

"Do you feel more handsome?"

Hearing Chen Xiangbei suddenly blurt out such a word, Dong Yuanxi was a bit surprised, knowing that the two usually interacted quite seriously.

"No, stop bragging."

Facing Dong Yuanxi's denial, Chen Xiangbei didn't say much, as the other's eyes had already betrayed him.

It must be said that many times people rely on clothes just like horses rely on saddles, racing suits can elevate a driver's look and aura to another level.

Especially when the helmet visor is down, with the whole face hidden in the darkness, it's absolutely fitting for the term "uniform temptation"!

After jokingly saying that, Chen Xiangbei got into the F3 cockpit and drove towards the starting grid of the track.

The higher the level of the formula race, the earlier the preparation time from leaving the pit room to the track.

Because having the race car on the starting grid allows the audience to more directly see what the drivers are doing, enhancing interactivity during the race. At the same time, cameras can capture more teams and drivers, increasing exposure for various sponsors.

Additionally, in higher-level formula races, the pit room control console has numerous screens that often contain the team's confidential data, which cannot easily be captured and exposed by journalists.

To avoid these hassles, it's become a customary rule over decades for race cars to be stationed in the starting grid early.

This is why, when watching F1 race broadcasts, a large crowd appears on the track before the official race starts, and various pre-race interview activities are chosen to be conducted at this time.

Of course, this mainly applies to F1, as lower-level formula races aren't as complex.

However, compared to other F3 level events, the Grand Prix is much more lively.

The reason is that the audience not only can see the drivers but also various celebrities appearing at the East Bay Circuit, such as local Australian star Li Jiaxin, Singapore star Liang Jingru, and one of the four great kings, "Wu Ying Ge," performing.

Yet when Chen Xiangbei's car No. 13 drove out from the pit lane, the focus at the scene immediately shifted from the celebrities to him, as he is the absolute superstar at today's East Bay Circuit!

Thunderous cheers erupted, countless audience members waved their national flags, instantly turning the main stand of East Bay into a sea of red.

"Chen Xiangbei, go for it, win the Grand Prix F3 championship!"

"It's been fifty years, it's time for a Chinese Grand Prix champion to emerge!"

"Chen Xiangbei, I want to witness you making history!"

"No one can match you, race on Chen Xiangbei!"

Facing the tumultuous voices from the stands, Chen Xiangbei couldn't actually hear what they were shouting.

But he knew very well inside, the audience was encouraging and cheering for him.

Chen Xiangbei didn't lower his helmet visor, instead, he extended his arm out of the racing cockpit, gesturing and waving to the audience.

This further ignited the scene like lighting a powder keg, with shouts roaring like waves.

[Is this what home advantage feels like?]

Feeling the atmosphere on-site, even though Chen Xiangbei's mindset is usually calm, at this moment he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Effort and dedication have not been in vain; he ultimately became the center of the whole racing venue!

With the audience's craze, the journalists waiting on the main track also swarmed around Chen Xiangbei's race car, eager to get the first-hand news.

"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, you got pole position on your first Grand Prix race, are you confident to hold your position and win the championship?"

"Of course, I have absolute confidence to win the championship."

Without any hesitation or doubt, Chen Xiangbei gave a resolute answer.

Whether for himself or the at least tens of thousands of supporters cheering for him on-site, he must leave the championship trophy in China!

Moreover, Chen Xiangbei also knows one thing: that at least in the next decade or two, there won't be another Chinese driver with a stable chance of winning the Grand Prix F3 championship.

He's the only hope!

"Xiangbei, I'm a reporter from Hong Kong TVB, reportedly multiple teams have developed targeted strategies, are you confident to break through?"

"Targeted?"

Hearing this word, Chen Xiangbei displayed a playful smile.

"Bring it on, no opponent can target me!"

Chen Xiangbei responded confidently.

The saying "a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it" is correct.

But in this world, there must be a tall tree that cannot be destroyed!

Chen Xiangbei never backed down even when he became the track enemy in Europe; will he lack confidence at his home ground today?

What a joke!

Listening to Chen Xiangbei's bold reply, Motana, also in the front row starting position, showed a meaningful smile.

Motana smiled not at Chen Xiangbei, but at his team.

Yesterday, at the last moment of qualifying, all teams recalled drivers to pit and change tires, adapting to extreme settings for qualifying, and pre-established a one-stop strategy for the race.

This is because they saw the severe manpower shortage in Chen Xiangbei's racing team. The total time for a temporary pit stop and tire change exceeded one minute!

Although they don't understand why despite Chen Xiangbei's signing with an F1 team, he still seems lacking in personnel and technical support, there's never absolute fairness on the track, and no feeling of sympathy or pity for the weak.
