Tanaka Kenichi echoed a sentence, having watched many Red races, he definitely understands Chen Xiangbei better than himself.
After Q1 ended, the cars returned to the pit, and Chen Xiangbei's condition did not seem to decline as Tanaka Kenichi perceived, nor was it simply conserving strength as Red thought.
The low temperature combined with the strong wind on the circuit significantly affected the HRT Racing Car.
You need to know that the HRT Racing Car ranks among the top three in the paddock primarily due to its exhaust diffuser and stalled rear wing, both related to aerodynamic design, while the power system and chassis design are only performing normally.
The low-temperature track made tire temperatures rise very slowly, with insufficient grip on the tires, and the strong wind affected the airflow guidance effect of the aero kits. Coupled with the medium downforce setup, Chen Xiangbei's grip was essentially equivalent to low downforce.
