"Take advantage of his weakness to finish him off," is the correct approach to competitive sports.
Today, Chen Xiangbei is starting the race with yellow medium tires, meaning he understands his drawback of not being able to make a pit stop, and he can only rely on one set of tires to finish the race.
The lack of tactical options means that Chen Xiangbei is destined to be in a passive position.
Bold statements are easily said before the race; the one who laughs last is the victor!
It's not only Motana who thinks this way; the back row drivers like Kokumoto Keiyo, Jean, and others are also observing Chen Xiangbei's "pathetically small" team.
It's known that on the track at this moment, a normal team has at least seven or eight support members, including a race engineer, four tire handlers, two jacks, and an engine starter technician.
Beside Chen Xiangbei's car, only four team members were gathered.
This means that if there's any temporary malfunction before the start, even if it's just a minor issue like a puncture requiring a tire change, it would be troublesome for the four team members to handle.
The general spectators and supporters onsite haven't noticed Chen Xiangbei's unfavorable conditions; they are more excited about Chen Xiangbei's boldness and flamboyance!
It's been a long time since a Chinese athlete dared to respond so openly and arrogantly to reporters' questions without any evasion or beating around the bush.
Really damn gutsy!
"Feels good, after watching all those low-key and humble interviews, Chen Xiangbei's response truly makes me feel delighted!"
"If they truly had the ability to target Chen Xiangbei, he wouldn't be on pole position!"
"That's right, there were targeted actions during the qualifying race, did it work?"
"The Car God Bei crushes them, crowned as king on the East Bay Circuit!"
The spectators on site, especially supporters from the mainland, were shouting hoarsely to cheer him on.
Winning or losing is something to think about after the race; for now, the excitement comes first!
Soon, the whistle on the track sounded, notifying all unrelated personnel to leave the field immediately.
The race journalists still wanted to continue asking Chen Xiangbei more questions, but upon hearing the whistle, they could only leave "reluctantly."
After all, compared to other drivers, Chen Xiangbei is more likely to break big news.
Until the journalists dispersed, the team members had the chance to come close, and Sawano Hiroyuki leaned down for the last reminder: "Xiangbei, remember to execute the tire preservation strategy; we also have our own tactics!"
Just now, Sawano Hiroyuki saw all the mocking glances from other teams.
Indeed, Chen Xiangbei is limited by his team members; the pit stop strategies he can choose are practically none. But that doesn't mean there are no tactical plans.
Extreme tire management is Sawano Hiroyuki's formulated winning strategy!
"I understand."
As Chen Xiangbei's words faded, the second whistle notification sounded, and at this moment, all personnel had to evacuate the track, leaving only twenty cars and drivers.
"Go Bei, give it your all!"
"Xiangbei, take the championship!"
"Make your opponents understand whose home ground this is!"
Before the team members left the field, they all cheered and encouraged Chen Xiangbei.
They weren't just saying things for show; deep down, they truly believed that Chen Xiangbei could become the Grand Prix champion.
The "ding ding ding" sound of the indicator lights started to go off, and at the moment when the five lights went out, Chen Xiangbei started warming up his tires in a leisurely manner, without even the basic snake-like movements.
Seeing this scene, experienced fans on site felt puzzled, and even the commentator Li Bing couldn't help but say: "Chen Xiangbei adopted the medium tire strategy, relatively slower in warming up compared to soft tires. If he doesn't want to lose positions at the start, the warm-up lap should involve aggressive big-throttle tire burning."
"Overtaking on the East Bay Circuit is extremely difficult, even if preparing not to pit and run the whole course. If too many positions are lost, it may not be possible to regain them."
"In my view, Chen Xiangbei's strategy seems very risky."
Li Bing does not agree with the strategy of running the whole course on medium tires; the best plan is still to start with soft tires and make one pit stop.
Because Chen Xiangbei has the advantage of being on pole position, there is no need to take such risks.
If there's a guaranteed winning method, why take a gamble?
In this era, the phrase "Samsung's jinx" hasn't yet become widely known, otherwise the circuit spectators, hearing these words, might instead think of two other words.
[Steady!]
