Some people are worried, while others are happy. Consecutive accidents and retirements due to malfunctions mean that the safety car is leading the front, indicating that the Ferrari Team cannot control the pace. All cars are lined up in a long formation, driving at a limited speed.
This allows Vettel, situated between Alonso and Masa, and Kubica and Rosberg, following behind, to breathe a sigh of relief.
The only one in a less optimistic situation is Chen Xiangbei, leading the race.
The reason is simple: no matter how the Ferrari Team controls the pace, it does not affect Chen Xiangbei at the top.
On the contrary, distancing from the rear lineup means Chen Xiangbei only needs to handle an attack from Alonso. If lined up in a straight line like a train, even if the rear cars cannot directly attack the leader, both parties are always within the tire change window.
