"Oh my goodness, did the broadcast timing screen malfunction? Did Chen Xiangbei complete SS1 faster than Leb?"
"That's impossible. Even if the F1 drivers have an advantage on the asphalt roads at the foot of the mountain, Driver Bei shouldn't be faster than Leb."
"Yeah, Raikkonen is also an F1 driver, and he's slower than both Leb and Bei."
"It seems the timing device will soon correct the data, otherwise this F1 newcomer from China is just too exaggerated."
The spectators at the service park were also discussing. Compared to the shock and disbelief of the team staff, they felt less impactful.
The reason is simple; the data is too unrealistic, a bit fake.
Think about it in reverse. It's similar to Ogier, a rising star in his own field, crossing over to the F1 Paddock for a qualifying race and directly leading the peak Schumacher in the first timed segment. The audience's reaction would likely be identical to the current one.
