11. Another offensive and defensive battle, thrilling crossing the line

The technician didn't pull across this time, and it came out in 2.1 seconds, and Sainz behind him was slightly worse, 2.8 seconds. At the pit stop, Liu Hongyu was in front of Sainz, both of whom were on yellow neutral tyres, in 7th and 8th.

At this time, Ocon, who had switched to hard tyres a few laps earlier, passed by.

Seeing this, Liu Hongyu hurriedly accelerated to chase Aokang in front of him, after all, Aokang's white tire temperature had just risen, and the two of them were not much different. But the tire temperature of Liu Hongyu's new tires is not much better, but he barely bites Aokang's DRS.

But Sainz behind Liu Hongyu did not have DRS because he was a little slower out of the station, Liu Hongyu followed the car for a while, waited for the tire temperature to rise a little, and then turned on the DRS on the big straight, but he still struggled a little out of the corner.

On the starting straight, the tire temperature was finally normal, and Liu Hongyu quickly accelerated to chase Alonso and Kimi, who were fighting in front of him.

"Kimi will help you block for a while, get up as soon as possible, his tires are dying. Sainz behind you is about to catch up with Ocon. ”

After T10, Liu Hongyu turned on the DRS tap to pass Alonso, and Kimi in front of him also let the line block Alonso by the way.

After passing Kimi to fourth, Liu Hongyu hurriedly started to push at full speed, after all, Ferrari's performance advantage was there, and Sainz would catch up soon.

On lap 42, Sainz had already bitten into Liu Hongyu's DRS zone on the starting straight, but because Liu Hongyu still had a Hamilton in front of him who had just changed his tires and left the pit for a long time, he could give him DRS and the tires of both were worn, so the rankings of the two could not change.

"Liu, slow down, slow down, slow down, there is an accident on the track, and the race will dispatch a physical safety car." Marcus suddenly said in TR.

"What's going on?" "Verstappen's car lost momentum and came to a halt on the track, the horse in front of him was moving the car out, and now it's a matter of making or breaking a pit stop." Marcus motioned for Liu Hongyu to pit for the last soft tyre.

Because of the crazy push just now, there is now enough gap between Liu Hongyu and those cars behind, plus the speed limit of the safety car, Liu Hongyu is still in fourth place after leaving the station. But the downside is that Sainz behind him also pit for soft tyres.

"The top 10 drivers are on soft tyres right now?" Liu Hongyu asked. "Yes, but except for the top five cars on old soft tyres, don't worry too much."

"It seems that SMS (emphasis added, there are private goods here) this tactic is still somewhat useful." Liu Hongyu thought to himself

On lap 45, Verstappen's car was finally lifted out, the safety roof lights went out, and the race was immediately decided to resume racing.

"Control the speed and don't rush to overtake first." Marcus saw that Liu Hongyu wanted to be the sixth child, so he accelerated a little earlier, so he reminded.

Leclerc started to accelerate just before the straight after the car, with Pérez and Hamilton following closely.

Sainz behind Liu Hongyu directly started to attack, but Liu Hongyu stuck the line and didn't let Sainz pass.

"Just drive the train... Even if Pérez waits for a while and doesn't have an accident, this one can be considered profitable. Liu Hongyu looked at the cars of Sainz and Russell in the rearview mirror and thought.

said that he was going to start the train when the locomotive started, but Liu Hongyu was also trying his best to chase Hamilton in front, otherwise he would easily pass him with Sainz in the back without a wake to use or DRS.

On lap 48, DRS was turned on, Russell and Sainz came together with a two-bread sandwich cheese sandwich Liu Hongyu to try to overtake, but Liu Hongyu chose to brake early to let them go and then fight out of the corner, and opened DRS on the big straight to draw a dragon in advance to avoid Russell overtaking, but at this time, Sainz rushed into the limit of the inside line and braked late to pass Liu Hongyu.

Liu Hongyu didn't panic at all when he saw this scene, after all, he deliberately let the inside line step on the brakes one step earlier.

It was still time to spell out the cornering speed, but this time Liu Hongyu managed to overtake it on the small straight.

"Please... Don't do it," Liu Hongyu looked at the tire temperature displayed on the steering wheel, and suddenly burst a little. The temperature of the right front tire is now eleven or twelve degrees warmer than the other tires, and it is still rising.

"If it goes on like this, sooner or later, it's going to be locked... Don't go up," Liu Hongyu had already begun to pray in his heart, wait a minute, this right front wheel will not be locked.

After following for a while, on the big straight, Sainz and Russell turned on DRS and tried to sandwich Liu Hongyu in the middle with two breads and cheese from the inside and outside, but Liu Hongyu didn't choose to give in this time, after all, the next corner was a high-speed corner.

I saw Liu Hongyu draw a dragon in advance to block Sainz, and then stepped on the brakes earlier and squeezed past T11 next to Russell, but Liu Hongyu's exit was better, and Russell was overtaken, and Sainz behind also followed Liu Hongyu past Russell and returned to fifth.

"No, it's really coming..."When passing the right hand bend of T13, Liu Hongyu's right front was slightly locked, but at present, it is not so serious, at least Liu Hongyu can still defend Sainz behind him.

Although there is no DRS on the next big straight, Sainz also accelerated from the inside to try to overtake Liu Hongyu, but the tail speed is still a little insufficient.

"Hamilton up front is almost pulling you away for a second, be careful." Marcus reminded.

Hearing this, Liu Hongyu stepped on the brakes early at the end of the big straight to let Sainz pass the DRS inspection point. After pulling out the corner side by side with Sainz, Liu Hongyu directly forced Sainz and then opened the DRS to open the gap between the two, and Russell saw this and bullied Sainz when the sixth didn't have DRS, taking the opportunity to surpass the past and rise to fifth.

At the end of the straight, Liu Hongyu chased back into Hamilton's DRS zone because Pagani's car was well enough to control the weight, while Russell also tried to defend Sainz.

"Wait a minute, I'll try to do the fastest lap, how is Kimi's ranking now?" Liu Hongyu asked.

"Kimi is seventh, so if you want to do the fastest lap, you have to do it now, take advantage of your clean window and DRS to push two laps with all your might, and now Leclerc's fastest lap is also average." Marcus motioned to Liu Hongyu to hurry up and start brushing laps with the speed of qualifying.

"Okay." Looking at the tire temperature of the right front wheel on the steering wheel showing a downward trend, Liu Hongyu devoted himself to driving. Anyway, my car now has enough power and fuel, even if I push it with all my might, I don't have to be afraid of the next few laps.

In just one lap, Liu Hongyu used 1.34.270 to brush the fastest lap of the whole race, after all, Hamilton, who pulled him in disguise when he was fighting with Pérez, helped a lot.

After increasing the lap time to 1.33.411 in the next two laps, Liu Hongyu chose to start slowing down to save power and protect the tires. After all, Marcus had just told him that Sainz had begun to throw off Russell to pursue him, but Hamilton's grappling with Pérez could still guarantee that Liu Hongyu would be able to rub DRS.

With five laps remaining, Sainz chased into Liu's DRS zone. But at this time, Liu Hongyu had a whim, and expected Hamilton to wait a little longer to block Pérez's approach in T1. So Liu Hongyu turned on the DRS and braked late with one foot and overtook the limit of one piercing. But Pérez has DRS and overtakes the duo on the straights.

"Red Bull's racing straight line is not an ordinary horror..."Liu Hongyu thought to himself as he looked at the car whizzing by Pérez next to him.

After a lap, the three-car grapple in front of him turned into a four-car grapple – and Sainz managed to catch up.

At the end of the 57th lap, Liu Hongyu directly began to attack Pérez frantically, but the performance of the mahogany was there, and Liu Hongyu still did not surpass it.

At the end of the straight, Pérez had already thrown off Liu Hongyu's body, but...

When passing T1, Pérez suddenly topped!

Although Liu Hongyu stepped on the brakes earlier, he still didn't react in his hand, and the front wing hit Perez's side box and disappeared directly, and Hamilton in the back obviously reacted, and hurriedly took the inside line to overtake Liu Hongyu.

"Damn! No, this kind of thing happened on the last lap! Liu Hongyu vaguely heard that Grant on the other end of TR had begun to explode.

"Concentrate on defending Sainz! To be able to keep this position is a victory! Marcus said that on the other side, he no longer dared to watch the live broadcast of the game, and he directly chose to look at the radar chart and fold his hands to pray for Liu Hongyu.

"Please, don't be overtaken!" Marcus thought to himself.

On the other side, the poisonous milk trio of Five Star Sports watched this scene and began to talk.

"Really! I don't think it's possible to prevent it! Once you get to the straight, you can't stop it at all! Even if there is only one lap, Xiao Liu will most likely be surpassed by Sainz! Brother Bing looked at this scene and suddenly had a lie in his heart.

After defending a few corners, the two came to the big straight, Sainz chose to take the lead from the outside, and Liu Hongyu could only watch Sainz pass. But...

"Oh! Sainz skidped! His soft tires are starting to hold up! But Xiao Liu's soft tires are obviously in better condition! Zhou Haoran said.

"Go over!" Liu Hongyu only had this one thought left in his heart.

Because Sainz's rhythm of this skidding was affected, Liu Hongyu took the opportunity to follow him.

"MD, this front wing is really annoying" After quickly tearing off the membrane in front of the goggles, Liu Hongyu obviously felt that Sainz was gradually widening the gap between the two.

"Come on, then!" Liu Hongyu looked at the last overtaking point T14 in front of him and thought.

On the straight, Liu Hongyu sucked Sainz's wake and tapped his head, but the tail speed was obviously not enough. Sainz was not worried at all when he saw this, and directly chose to make a normal corner.

"And DRS, accelerate!" Marcus said.

When he passed through the inspection point, Liu Hongyu was still a little behind Sainz, so he could still use DRS.

After rushing past the T14 with a kick of extreme late brakes, Liu Hongyu hurriedly turned the steering wheel to start the final sprint. But Sainz, who was behind him, was clearly better out of the corner and followed up directly.

At this time, after the two cars passed the T15 side by side, Sainz gradually began to widen the gap with Liu Hongyu, but at this time his battery did not have much power, mainly relying on the aerokinesis and engine advantages of the car.

On the straight road of "Come on...", Liu Hongyu turned on the DRS and directly chose to use up the power in the battery, just for this podium.

Finally crossing the line, there was a voice from Marcus's end after a moment of silence.

"Third place! Another lore before crossing the line! Well done, boy! Marcus shouted excitedly in the P room.

Liu Hongyu once again completed the lore and won the podium twice in a row!
