In an apartment in Lundun City, a bald, middle-aged man with a beer belly was lying on the sofa. He was watching the pure black car that was overtaking the Grand Bull Racing Team's car on the TV.
The moment the black car successfully overtook the Grand Bull Racing Team, the bald, middle-aged man stood up from the sofa excitedly. He held a half-empty bottle of cold beer tightly in his hand and waved it around excitedly. At the same time, he turned his head and shouted to another tall, middle-aged man who also sat up from the long sofa.
"He overtook him! That's great! He actually overtook Gasly! Rossi, are you sure he's a newcomer? "
The tall, middle-aged man on the long sofa was much calmer than him. Although he could not hide the excitement on his face, he did not shout as loudly as him.
Facing his old friend's exclamation, the tall, middle-aged man retorted angrily.
"So what if he's a newcomer? Do you know there's something called talent?"
The bald, middle-aged man did not care about his old friend's words. He stared at the screen and said worriedly.
"But he wasted too much time just now. There are only three corners left. I'm afraid he won't have enough time to overtake Russell!"
The middle-aged man did not continue to argue with him. Instead, he nodded and said in a deep voice.
"That's right. And Russell's strength is above Gasly's. It seems that the newcomer's chances of winning are not high!"
…
On the race track, many spectators had similar thoughts as the two of them.
Just now, Carlos Sainz Jr. used nearly ten corners to successfully overtake Gasly of the Grand Bull Racing Team. Now, there were only three corners left before the final sprint. It was almost impossible to overtake the previous champion, Russell, who was recognized as the strongest, in these three corners!
If there was one more lap time, it might be possible. But now, not to mention overtaking, catching up was a problem.
Russell's strength was top-notch. Every corner was handled perfectly, and his speed was basically the fastest. If Carlos Sainz Jr. wanted to catch up with him, he had to be faster than him!
In the stands, Bernie Todd looked at the black race car that was lagging behind by a few dozen meters. He couldn't help but reveal a smug sneer on his face.
Russell, who was running at the front, was the driver of his Ferrari team!
Russell being able to defeat Carlos Saines Jr. in the arena meant that the Shield Cars had lost to Faralli. This was something that he was very happy about!
No matter how advanced the technology of your Shield car is, you are still a newcomer in the field of F1 racing. Wanting to beat all the veteran teams in your first competition and win the championship is simply a dream!
Even if the other teams are defeated by you, we, Faralla, will never lose!
He believed that after tonight, the news of the Shield car's crushing defeat at the hands of Farali would be known to everyone. At that time, the sales of the Shield car would definitely be affected. On the other hand, his Ferrari could take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Shield car to regain the lost market!
Just when most people thought that Carlos Saines Jr. had no hope of catching up, the speed of the pure black race car suddenly increased again!
Previously, Carlos Saines Jr. had spent most of his time overtaking the car in front of him. Therefore, he did not take the fastest and most optimal route when passing the corners.
Now, there was only one car left in front of him. The final victory was right in front of him. When Carlos Saines Jr. was chasing, he fully displayed his strength and the performance of the Shield car. The angle and timing of every corner were just right. The speed of the corners was even faster than Russell's. The distance between the two cars began to shrink rapidly!
Just before the last corner, Carlos Saines Jr. finally caught up to Russell and was tightly following him!
And the distance between the two cars continued to shrink!
The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were all excited!
He actually caught up!
There was still the last corner. Carlos Saines Jr. still had hope!
Many audience members could not help but stand up from their seats. They stared at the two cars on the track without blinking. The final winner would be decided at this last corner!
Russell did not panic because of Carlos Saines Jr.'s close pursuit. He still accurately began to enter the corner according to his own rhythm. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the black race car behind him. He was ready to block it at any time!
As a consecutive F1 champion, he was confident that he could suppress Carlos Saines Jr. at this corner and prevent him from overtaking him.
The final victory would definitely belong to him!
However, to everyone's surprise, Carlos Saines Jr. did not choose to change lanes to overtake him. Instead, he followed closely behind Russell's car and also entered the corner from the outside according to the best cornering route.
The two cars, one red and one black, sped through the corner, one in front and one behind.
Russell held the steering wheel firmly with both hands. While trying to accurately control the cornering route, he was also paying attention to the black race car that was following closely behind him.
However, even after more than half of the corner, the other party had no intention of overtaking him.
Although the distance between the two cars seemed to have shortened a little, the black race car was still following his car obediently. It had no intention of changing lanes to overtake him.
Russell could not help but think that this newcomer still had some self-awareness. He knew that it was impossible to overtake him, so he simply gave up the meaningless attempt. Instead, he worked hard to close the distance so that he would not lose so badly.
However, for the sake of safety and stability, he did not burst out with full speed in the bend. Once he got out of the bend, he would directly shake this guy off. A newcomer was not qualified to cross the finish line with him, the F1 champion!
Under the nervous gaze of countless audience members in front of their televisions, the last corner was quickly passed. Russell's red Ferrari raced out of the corner, sticking close to the inside line.
However, after exiting the corner, because the angle of the car could not be adjusted immediately, the car did not complete the sharp turn by sticking close to the inside line. Instead, it cut out from the inside line of the corner and continued to follow the curve of the corner, heading towards the outside line on the left side of the track.
This was the most commonly used and fastest way for F1 drivers to corner. Entering the corner from the outside line, cutting through the inside line, and cutting out from the outside line. This method could make the original curve of the track smoother, and at the same time, shorten the cornering distance and increase the cornering speed.
