The race commentator Red was completely convinced now. A rookie entering Q3 for two consecutive Grands Prix, combined with the use of a completely different new upgrade package, couldn't be explained or disguised by just vehicle performance advantages.
Chen Xiangbei has already demonstrated his top-notch speed talent!
The speed in qualifying determines a driver's upper limit; the consistency in the race performance determines a driver's lower limit.
Back then, Raikkonen was able to make a triple jump into F1 because he broke countless track records in lower-level single-seaters, similar to the way future Verstappen dominated in junior formulae.
To be fair, Chen Xiangbei also "dominated" in the lower series, but he was limited by the number of races, lacking a certain level of persuasiveness.
The current results are the most powerful rebuttal!
"MY GOD, Xiangbei is really amazing, I can't believe he's a Chinese driver."
