"Grant, I want to take a leave of absence. I won't do the aerodynamic test the weekend after the China stop. In room P, Liu Hongyu said to Harris while wiping his sweat

"Okay, then I'll talk to Kimi. Anyway, are you going to Coachella? Harris said as he sorted out the stats for the game.

"Well, go relax. It's been a bit stressful lately, but how are the weight management and upgrade parts of the car? Liu Hongyu suddenly remembered that the weight of today's car was still a bit excessive.

"Almost, probably solve these problems in China. Go back and have a good rest, your podium today will probably shut up a lot of people. Harris also knows how much pressure Liu Hongyu has during this time, after all, Pagani's results in the winter test are only occasionally bright, and Liu Hongyu has also been said a lot because of some mistakes.

Time pulls back to ten hours ago.

"Xiaoyu, will you go to Coachella in a few weeks?" Not long after Liu Hongyu finished washing, Lin Xi called.

"You're so punctual... Wait, going to Coachella? Isn't it good to have that time to play games and train? Liu Hongyu said while shaving after turning on the hands-free.

"The Dream Dragon Band, which has been rumored for several years, is definitely coming, and Brother Mars, I don't believe you can check it yourself." Lin Xi didn't hide it either, and directly sent the list to Liu Hongyu.

"Okay, okay, but are you sure you didn't do it for Wang Jiaer and aespa in the past?" Liu Hongyu said after glancing at the list.

"Come on, you, when the time comes, you can come to Seoul to find me by yourself, hang up first, and I'll pay for the ticket." After speaking, Lin Xi hung up the phone.

After some post-match interviews, Liu Hongyu returned to the hotel to pack his things and prepare to go back to London.

"Bahrain... There really aren't so many overtaking spots... At present, the engine is still sacrificing stability and speed, and it is estimated that Miami will have to start changing the power unit..."

In the evening, Liu Hongyu reviewed the races of the Sakhir Grand Prix in previous years. Aside from the big straights, there are only a few best overtaking spots.

After a few days in the gym, Liu Hongyu flew to Bahrain to prepare for the second race of the 2022 season, the Sakhir Grand Prix.

After trying various running methods in the first two practice races, Liu Hongyu still decided to run the qualifying race directly with light oil, and it was a big deal to miss one or two flying laps.

"I have to say that there are really shortcomings in canceling the stubble of pit stop refueling." Liu Hongyu looked at the results of the practice match and complained.

"Perhaps..."Kimi, who was next to him, suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

As for why... Liu Hongyu still knows, the fire of the century's "underworld" painting burned Raikkonen to understand?

After three practice sessions on the second day, Liu Hongyu was somewhat dissatisfied with this lap time. At the moment, the lap time is at the bottom of the earth group, and the tail speed on the straight is also stretched. The team mechanics also hurried to make adjustments to some of the car's aerodynamic parts.

"What GP2 Engine..."Liu Hongyu couldn't help but complain about today's Mercedes engine in his heart.

"Let's hope it's the aerodynamics."

A few hours later, qualifying began. Pagani chose to let Liu Hongyu out with a little more than 11 minutes left in Q1, after all, after his warm-up lap, Hamilton, who was lucky enough to prepare for the flying lap, could still wake him in front of him, plus the track was clean enough at the moment.

“Woc？ Harris, when did they get such a dick? After the warm-up lap, Liu Hongyu clearly felt that the tail speed of the car seemed to be faster on the big straight.

"Was there a problem with the parts of the car during the practice session just now?" Liu Hongyu asked.

"Yes, now concentrate on lap time, you're rubbing Hamilton's wake now."

After swiping 1.31.911, Harris just let Kimi out of the station, so Liu Hongyu chose to reduce the speed a little bit to pull Kimi's wake, and let Kimi brush out 1.31.980 and then go back to the P room.

"How's the tires? If it doesn't work, replace it with a new one. Marcus asked.

"It's okay, let's leave an extra set of tires for the race."

At the end of Q1, the eliminated riders were, from back to front, Latifi, Stroll, Ricardo, Tsunoda, Albon, Norris and Schumacher Jr.

At the beginning of Q2, Harris still chose to let Kimi and Liu Hongyu go out to brush the circle in the middle of Q2, and the two once rose to 5th and 6th place after pulling each other's wakes.

"Louis, pit for new tires." Marcus saw that Liu Hongyu's soft tires were almost worn out, so he motioned for him to go back to room P.

A few minutes later, Q2 ended, and Liu Hongyu helped Zhou Guanyu behind him on the final straight to pull a wake for him to brush down the Aokang whistle and enter Q3. The eliminated riders were, in order, Ocon, Sebastian, Alonso, Gasly and Magnussen.

In Q3, it's still the familiar mutual pull wake. Only this time the first place was Kimi, and after a few laps of Q3 at the end of the game, Liu Hongyu started 9th and Kimi 7th. Zhou Guanyu is 10th and Bottas is 8th.

As for the front row... It was surprisingly consistent with the previous stop, from front to back it was still Lock, Verstappen, Sainz, Hamilton, Pérez and Russell.

"It seems that tomorrow is destined to be a tough battle..."Liu Hongyu looked at the results and was already thinking about the tactics of tomorrow's main game.
