Chen Xiangbei, having grasped the meaning of Odetto’s words, felt his aura surge again.

In F1, there is no tradition of respecting the elder or caring for the young. It’s all about the young and strong punching the nursing home in the south and kicking the Beihai Kindergarten in the north.

So what if you’re the King of Cars? I’m coming for you, Schumacher!

With another slam on the accelerator, Chen Xiangbei charged forward, entering Schumacher’s slipstream once more. This time, the distance between the two cars was closer than ever, with the space between the front and rear measurable in mere centimeters.

"Is this Chinese guy not planning to give up? Does he really think he can challenge the King of Cars?"

"Stop the pointless attacks and think about how to conserve your tires and score points."

"Driver Bei, you’re not worthy of being Schumacher’s opponent!"

"Without the performance advantage of HRT Racing Car, you’re just another roadside car in front of Schumacher!"

An old Chinese saying goes, "The dog barks with its master’s power." This group of South Korean spectators once relied on Hamilton’s strength to suppress Chen Xiangbei.

However, due to Chen Xiangbei’s impulsive mistake at the start, a significant gap emerged between them, temporarily delaying any chance for head-to-head combat.

Now, this audience once again borrowed "power" from Schumacher, confidently believing in the King of Cars crushing Chen Xiangbei.

"Bullshit, it’s not like Chen Xiangbei hasn’t beaten Schumacher before. Why can’t he win again?"

A Chinese spectator on the scene, fed up with the mockery from the South Korean audience, finally lashed back in fury.

After the start-line mistake, the Chinese audience became more subdued, as Chen Xiangbei’s performance was not stellar. As the saying goes, admit when you’re wrong and take your beating seriously—running poorly and boasting would only bring shame.

But now things were different. Mid-race, Chen Xiangbei’s overtaking, defending, and dual car tactics with his teammate could only be described with perfection.

He even clawed back to eighth position!

Considering that the leading drivers might need to pit once or twice more, Chen Xiangbei’s rank could be even higher, possibly breaking into the top five.

To mock such a performance is simply intolerable!

"Is it envy, jealousy, and hatred that you have no South Korean driver challenging the King of Cars, but Chen Xiangbei can?"

"Schumacher is not invincible, as long as Chen Xiangbei performs well, he can win!"

"Go, Chen Xiangbei!"

"Remember, you’re called Car God Bei!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Countless excited voices rose. At this moment, not only the drivers but even the fans shattered the illusion of the "God."

On the track, Chen Xiangbei and Schumacher were neck and neck exiting Turn 6. Next was the longest stretch in the Lingyan Circuit’s three long straights, essentially a maximum speed testing zone for the racing cars.

Both cars’ top speeds quickly broke through 300 km/h, and the numbers kept climbing. Chen Xiangbei decisively changed lanes, intending to use the slipstream effect to accelerate for an overtake.

km/h, 330 km/h, 335 km/h!

The nose of Chen Xiangbei’s car gradually surpassed Schumacher’s rear wing, rear wheels, side pod...

Until it reached the middle of the side pod, with the slipstream effect no longer aiding, and Chen Xiangbei’s car began to suffer from the turbulent air of the leading car. The speeds of the two cars formed a bizarre standoff.

"HRT Racing Car doesn’t have a clear advantage at this point; Bei can’t overtake."

McLaren’s team principal Whitmarsh said casually.

It was now clear that the HRT Racing Car’s top speed limit was around 335 km/h, significantly slower than the previous East Sea Station’s exaggerated speed of over 350 km/h by more than ten kilometers.

This race was Hamilton’s revenge race; although he couldn’t currently stop the two upgraded Red Bull Racing cars, he staunchly maintained his third position while embroiled in a fierce duel with Alonso.

McLaren cars were not dominant on the Lingyan Circuit, and the HRT Racing Car, with its developmental direction, had long been dubbed the "low-spec Red Bull." If judged by the full bloom performance at the East Sea Station, Hamilton might not have been able to hold off Chen Xiangbei.

For a proud young driver, losing once is acceptable.

If one loses twice or three times to the same opponent, even with Hamilton’s strong mentality, it could affect his morale and mindset.

Hamilton is now the undisputed core of the McLaren Team, with a championship and a runner-up title in his second year, surpassing all historical drivers, and his future prospects are limitless.

If a Chinese rookie were to crush him, it would be unacceptable for McLaren Team.

So far, HRT Racing Car cannot challenge McLaren at all!

"Even with a performance advantage, going after Schumacher is equally challenging."

Dennis added.

Having witnessed the Ferrari Yue Ma Dynasty, Schumacher was for a long time the epitome of invincibility.

The future may hold a place for Chen Xiangbei, but after Schumacher retires.

As soon as Dennis’s words fell, Chen Xiangbei and Schumacher arrived at the braking zone at the end of T6’s long straight.

T7 and T8 were a left-right combination of corners, and T7 was a double-apex corner, which in simpler terms, is an asymmetrical long S-shaped corner, requiring extremely precise cornering techniques from the drivers.

This not only concerns the difficulty of finding the two apexes but also the entry speed into the T8 combination corner.

In the previous F1 Grand Prix races held at Lingyan Circuit, this spot was considered an unconventional overtaking point due to its high difficulty and the possibility of the opponent overtaking by crossing the line.
