"The situation on the track has changed. Xiangbei chose to speed up on the second lap in an attempt to shake off Costa, who was drafting behind him."
"Pushing at this time causes significant tire wear. Xiangbei's tire conservation ability is currently unknown. Is he confident he can finish the race despite severe tire degradation?"
"Or has the Super Dream Team prepared a one-stop strategy, considering a pit stop for a tire change?"
Commentator James was somewhat perplexed by Chen Xiangbei's operation. Even if he wanted to ditch Costa behind him, he should at least wait until after a dozen laps when fuel consumption reduces significantly, thus decreasing the car's weight and tire wear, before making a move.
If he speeds up now and his tire conservation isn't sufficient, after a dozen laps Chen Xiangbei's car could slide around the track!
Ranked second, Costa was momentarily stunned by the sudden gap with the car in front.
