But this time, the shouts welcoming Chen Xiangbei were not just cheers of support; there were also various voices of provocation. Rosberg had viciously shaded Chen Xiangbei on social media last night, shifting the main responsibility for the collision and subtly implying that Chen Xiangbei wouldn't be able to hold him off this time.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Many online experts analyzed the practice session footage and found that Rosberg's speed was clearly above that of Chen Xiangbei.
If it weren't for the fact that the Monaco Circuit is so difficult to overtake on, and Chen Xiangbei's nearly dangerous aggressive defense, he wouldn't have been able to hold off Rosberg, who was behind!
These statements immediately injected a strong dose of confidence into Rosberg's supporters and the local Monaco fans.
