Chen Xiangbei no longer needs to use the rear-view mirror to see the nose of the Renault car!
Faced with this standard slipstream overtaking move, Chen Xiangbei didn't act like a rookie by flooring the accelerator to speed up and then changing lanes to block Kubica's car.
The slipstream effect makes such a "rigid" response impossible to hold back.
Chen Xiangbei decisively counter-steered and no longer focused on the overtaking route on the right, but instead staunchly defended his entry line for the next corner.
The T11 corner is a low-speed sharp turn, requiring the car speed to be reduced to below 100 km/h to successfully navigate without going off the track.
At Kubica's overtaking speed, it's impossible for him to complete the overtake and change lanes to block before the corner; he will inevitably have to brake heavily at the corner's braking point, at most leading by a car's nose.
