"Another unexpected situation has occurred on the track; last year's champion, Kokumoto Keiyo, collided with the barrier while competing with Chen Xiangbei for position, causing a large hole on the right side of his car."
"During the dynamic start-off confrontation, Chen Xiangbei aggressively took the inside line using his heated medium tires. His overtaking maneuver was extremely forceful, and even sitting in the commentary booth, you could feel the fire in his heart after losing two positions."
"Kokumoto Keiyo failed to take the corner on the outside. Although the car currently seems to be barely moving, this kind of damage to the car body cannot be quickly repaired, and retirement seems just a matter of time."
Just as commentator Li Bing's words fell, Kokumoto Keiyo received radio instructions from the team to enter the pit lane next lap and announced his retirement.
No one expected that last year's defending champion, this year's top seed, would end his journey in this way.
