But now the difference in qualifying lap times has come down to thousandths of a second. Even a draft that can increase speed by 0.01 seconds is enough to determine the final outcome.
Following that, Ferrari and the Mercedes Team both started flying laps, and the two HRT Team cars were still waiting for the right timing. Perez was already seated in the cockpit, but Chen Xiangbei remained standing in front of the computer screen watching the onboard footage.
"Team leader, should we hurry Xiangbei up?"
Mizutani Sho's tone was a bit anxious. The third qualifying session is the shortest, with only 12 minutes in total.
If you consider the warm-up and cool-down laps, you can at most do two flying laps, and you need to go out from the start.
Chen Xiangbei still watching his onboard footage means he will lose the margin for error in two laps. The Monaco Circuit itself is very unforgiving, almost as if there's no plan for a second chance.
"No need, he'll watch the time."
