"COPY."
Chen Xiangbei simply replied before grabbing the opportunity to directly enter the pit lane.
In fact, not only he went to the pit, but the tire compounds of twenty drivers on the track, limited by the mandatory pit stop requirement, were mostly starting with soft or ultra-soft tires, now all past their grip peaks.
Ricardo's off-track incident happened to shorten the pit stop window time.
If they don't seize the opportunity to pit now, once the yellow flag speed limit is lifted, the entire tire change time will take at least an extra ten seconds!
Watching the F3 cars pit one by one for a tire change, James then said in an emotional tone, "Earlier, Xiangbei's feint move really was somewhat unexpected, with an ultimate late braking that fooled Ricardo, while also finding a special cornering apex point."
"Honestly, when I saw the apparent tail slide in the broadcast footage, I couldn't tell if it was Xiangbei's luck or his skill!"
