Car Racing without Money-Chapter 594 - 234: Growing Ambitions

"I can’t even begin to describe the shock this race brought from the Chinese kid, he completed the overtake on Alonso in an extremely clean and sharp manner."

"The control of the route, the timing, and even the prediction of the opponent’s response, Driver Xiangbei can be said to have achieved perfection."

"You can feel that Driver Xiangbei did a lot of homework before the race, he understands Alonso’s style and habits too well!"

Under Chen Xiangbei’s chase speed of 4 seconds faster per lap, Red anticipated that the newcomer might overtake Alonso.

But he didn’t expect the overtake to be so quick and ’easy’.

Just looking at the broadcast screen, Chen Xiangbei seemed to make a feint and then completed the inner line overtake.

There was not much fierce entanglement, nor were there any dangerous moves to force the opponent to give way, Chen Xiangbei’s entire action was very clean, a perfectly standard technical overtaking!

"Indeed, the action was beautiful, Driver Xiangbei accurately judged Alonso’s defensive line, in contrast, Alonso was clearly not too aware of Driver Xiangbei’s strength."

"China has an old saying, which goes know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll never be defeated."

"So Alonso being overtaken was within reason."

After saying this, Prost might have realized that his words could offend people.

So he explained again: "But having said that, Alonso, as a world champion and currently the strongest driver in the circuit, he has too many challengers to deal with and watch, it’s impossible to spend a lot of energy on a newcomer."

"This is the fate of a king!"

Prost’s words are not without reason, standing high is destined to be cold.

Alonso has too many challenges to deal with, Chen Xiangbei in the circuit is at most considered a small Kalami, being in the state of the enemy is normal.

Just that both hosts guessed the wrong direction, in fact, apart from the god’s perspective, Chen Xiangbei also did not pay too much attention to Alonso.

The reason is simple, even Chen Xiangbei himself did not expect to be able to challenge Alonso in his second Grand Prix of his F1 career.

Instead of aiming at top drivers and doing useless work, it’s better to learn more about the competition among the mid-level group, the challenge needs to be upgraded step by step, aiming too high results in being not practical!

So being able to seize the opponent’s habitual loopholes is more Briatore’s credit.

On the track, Alonso looked at the number 13 car gradually disappearing in front, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Other drivers being overtaken by leaving the outside line is generally called ’going wide’, considered a kind of mistake.

But Alonso is different, he deliberately went wide, always keeping the pace in his control!

Precisely by relying on this solid driving skill and absolute confidence, Alonso would take semi-rain tires to forcefully compete against Chen Xiangbei’s soft red tires, showing a strong posture of settling the newcomer.

In the end, no one expected that the newcomer was so ’crafty’, making a fake move to quickly overtake from the inside.

And Alonso has a vague feeling that his mental state and control actions were all within Chen Xiangbei’s expectations, that’s why the other party was so calm and precise. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Is the ’car intelligence’ of the Chinese kid really that strong?

In F1, wanting to become a historic-level driver, being aggressive and reckless can only be used to start, truly standing firm in the car world depends on ’intelligence’.

As strong as Verstappen, the ’turret’ style was merely his rookie phase, and after winning his first world championship, you can feel his driving style becoming more stable, no longer making unnecessary risky moves.

Like that move of throwing the car into the corner, the ’Torpedo action’ of ’Son of the Wind’.

The two GOTA-level drivers of this era, Schumacher’s style is closer to the track, filled with passion and a sense of explosive tension.

Alonso’s style is actually closer to Prost, his advantage lies in intelligent driving and long-distance pace.

This doesn’t mean Alonso is conservative, but rather he belongs to the ’technical flow’.

Take overtaking as an example, Alonso rarely makes that kind of tough squeezing inner line move, he likes to challenge extreme outside line overtake, or uses a combination of lines through the corner to overtake.

Many times, closely observing Alonso’s corner control can make you feel an indescribable aesthetic pleasure, bringing car driving control to the extreme!

It is precisely by relying on top-notch technology that Alonso can roam the car world for twenty years, from naturally aspirated to turbocharged, and then to the hybrid era afterward.

From traditional slipstream overtaking to the new generation DRS overtaking.

In the past, most of the young drivers Alonso faced in the circuit were inclined to impulse and recklessness.

After all, challenging this circuit demon king with technique is like showing off minor skills in front of an expert.

It would be better to try recklessness, maybe it will succeed.

Chen Xiangbei, in various media and public opinion in the past, also had a flamboyant and arrogant image, Alonso really didn’t expect that the other party showed a completely different side and played a technical overtaking move.

Interesting, truly interesting...

Realizing Chen Xiangbei’s ’inconsistent inside and outside’, Alonso’s mouth revealed a hint of a mocking smile.

It seems that he really was careless, got caught by the newcomer.

Alonso can calmly accept his own failure, but most of the audience present find it hard to accept.

"Even Alonso couldn’t block the Chinese newcomer, how is that possible?"

"What exactly happened just now, Xiangbei overtook so effortlessly?"

"Even if there’s a gap in tire performance, this kind of scene shouldn’t occur!"
