Odetto explained calmly to Mizutani Sho. He had worked at the Super Aguri Team for two years and knew that many Japanese engineers subconsciously believed that track records set by famous drivers were almost unbreakable.
They have this perception because Asian drivers are often weaker, and indeed, lap times set by historic drivers like Senna and Schumacher belong to a realm that is out of reach.
But in Europe, no track record is unbreakable!
After warning Mizutani Sho, Odetto pressed the communication button on his headset.
"Bei, your fastest lap has been refreshed by two drivers, and Carlin Team's Magnussen is also on his flying lap."
"If you don't want to be left far behind, then run even faster!"
Even faster?
When Odetto issued such a team order at a critical moment, Sawano Hiroyuki and Mizutani Sho looked at each other in surprise.
Going any faster might lead to a tire blowout and crash off the track!
"Received."
