On one hand, it's to numb the opponent with the "wolf is coming" approach.
On the other hand, it's to identify Ricardo's control errors through probing attacks.
Under high pressure, even top young F1 drivers like Leclerc and Norris can't avoid making oppressive mistakes, let alone Ricardo, who is just an F3 "rookie" now.
Quickly, the two cars approached the T8 corner, and Chen Xiangbei exploited the slipstream on Ricardo's car from the left shoulder, making an overtaking maneuver just like before.
Seeing Chen Xiangbei's action through the rearview mirror, Ricardo switched lanes defensively as usual, firmly holding the outside line through the corner, giving no opportunity for overtaking.
With tire grip drastically reduced now, Ricardo didn't believe Chen Xiangbei could break the physical limits.
As long as he occupied the best cornering line, the Chinese driver could only follow behind!
