"Better not pop the champagne at halftime, there's still a driver ahead."

Indeed, there's still a driver ahead of Chen Xiangbei, and that driver is none other than Thomas, who ranked fifth in the first round of the main race.

To be honest, Chen Xiangbei doesn't know much about this driver, as all his attention has been focused on Ricardo and other major rivals.

But it doesn't matter, a champion is destined to surpass all competitors, no matter who they are!

With a push on the gas pedal, and no more speed limits in the pit lane, Chen Xiangbei accelerates madly on the main track to catch up.

Thomas's raw strength is not lacking, otherwise, he would've already skidded off the track like those rookie drivers following Chen Xiangbei's line.

However, his strength is not outstanding either, occupying the front row due to the reverse grid advantage, but is now pursued by Bianchi within 0.5 seconds. Fortunately, the pit crew's tire change speed was impressive, or else Chen Xiangbei would have already caught sight of his car's tail.

Yet even so, a 0.5-second gap is just a matter of time for Chen Xiangbei to catch up.

With new tires, Chen Xiangbei didn't push to the limit, treating this lap as a warm-up to heat the tires.

When the race reached the tenth lap, Chen Xiangbei began to explode!

"Car No. 13, Chinese driver Xiangbei, after overtaking Bianchi post-pit, remained silent for a lap and is now frantically chasing the first-place driver, Thomas."

"According to the track monitoring instruments, driver Xiangbei's average speed has broken the main race record, and this is not yet the final light fuel load stage; Xiangbei already shows an unstoppable attitude."

"Next lap, can Thomas block driver Xiangbei?"

Commentator Klas listened to James's question but made no verbal response.

The answer was already clear, Chen Xiangbei would break the main race record this lap and directly catch up to Thomas's car tail.

With the same second-lap tires, Chen Xiangbei's lap speed was nearly a second faster than Thomas, an unmatched opponent in the F3 spec cars.

Even driving Dream's "Specialized Car", Chen Xiangbei couldn't have been a second faster per lap.

At most one lap, and Thomas would be overrun by Chen Xiangbei!

Just like the image envisioned in many people's minds, in the eleventh lap, Chen Xiangbei's No. 13 car appeared behind Thomas's No. 9 car, and he had already smoothly caught the slipstream.

"The single-lap speed is out, driver Xiangbei clocked 2:06.011, setting a new F3 main race record at the Spa Circuit."

"If driver Xiangbei clinches the second-round championship, he will create unprecedented records; a hat trick is already insufficient to describe it, Xiangbei is the king of Spa in the F3 level!"

James's tone was very excited, indeed the average speed has already hinted at Chen Xiangbei's rapid lap, highly likely to break the main race record.

But James did not anticipate it to happen so swiftly, and with such ease.

Pole position, fastest lap, main race champion, reverse grid champion, track record…

No driver has ever simultaneously achieved these five accomplishments, yet Chen Xiangbei did it.

James already doesn't know how to describe it; perhaps in his commentary career, he will never encounter another such Chinese driver.

"New track record with four laps of fuel left?"

"Terrifying, an unrestricted driver Xiangbei is indeed terrifying!"

"This speed doesn't seem to be Xiangbei's limit; it might be time to pray for Thomas."

"We might witness the birth of a miracle."

The on-site audience no longer debated; the majority have been conquered by Chen Xiangbei's prowess.

Previously, during the tangle with Ricardo, you couldn't tell how fast Chen Xiangbei was.

Now, with no distractions from opponents, it feels like every subsequent lap from the Chinese Kid will easily break the Spa Circuit's lap time record.

Competitive sports honor only the strong.

When you are so strong that even opponents can't find an excuse, what remains is only praise.

At this moment on the track, the most "weak and helpless" person was Thomas, as he watched Chen Xiangbei's ever-closer No. 13 car in the rearview mirror, without even the courage to resist.

The team just communicated over TR last lap, stating that his gap from the Chinese driver Xiangbei was still at least 0.5 seconds.

"Maintain speed, just need to hold through these last few laps."

Yet after just one lap, driver Xiangbei appeared like a "ghost" behind his car.

In truth, such speed and the pressure from pursuit, Thomas had never experienced before.

Even the likes of Ricardo and Bottas only made Thomas feel strong but not "fear."

"Thomas, hang in there; just three laps to go."

Encouragement came from the team engineer through his headphones.

The long-time togetherness gives the racing engineer a kind of telepathy, sensing Thomas's current tension and bewilderment.

As a driver, you shouldn't fear your opponent.

No matter if this opponent is as strong as Senna or Schumacher, you still must fight defensively and offensively with all your might!

Chen Xiangbei is indeed fast, but he's not unbeatable!

Responding to the engineer's encouragement, Thomas instinctively wanted to press the communication button on the steering wheel to reply received.

But at that moment of distraction, he caught sight of something like a "lightning" flash beside his car out of the corner of his eye.

Indeed, it was Chen Xiangbei's No. 13 car.

When a driver begins to feel fear, it means they are unworthy as an opponent.
