39. If he is a demon lord in the sky, he is really a Tai Sui god in the world
After leaving the station, although Liu Hongyu successfully overcut Verstappen, he also encountered the DRS train array in front of him.
After relying on the wake of the front car to push two laps to brush out the fastest in the field, the train formation in the front row also entered the station, and Liu Hongyu took advantage of the situation to move up to third place, with Leclerc and Hamilton in front of him using old tires.
After learning from Marcus who the two racing cars in front of him were, Liu Hongyu immediately changed the engine mode and began to chase Leclerc in front.
On lap 47, Liu Hongyu bit into Leclerc's DRS area, and had no time to take care of Verstappen behind him, Liu Hongyu began to output full power in a few corners before the big straight, and as soon as he passed the ninth corner, Liu Hongyu directly turned on the overtaking mode to use up the power, plus he had the advantage of DRS, he relied on the diversity of brake point choices brought by the new tires at the end of the big straight, and forced Leclerc to eat Leclerc on the inside line with a late brake.
Leclerc tried to regain his position in the corner, but Liu's mid-turn speed threw him off on the old medium-sized tyre, and he had to save his power to defend Verstappen.
"I hope the fourth can guard against Verstappen for a while."
At Turn 16 in front of the straight, Liu Hongyu could already see Verstappen in the right rearview mirror following closely behind Leclerc, ready to take a turn.
"Hamilton is slowing down, and now he's not going to be able to overcut you if he does two stops. Don't push too hard, Charles (Leclerc) still has defensive ability, after all, he is driving a Ferrari (red tractor) Red Bull in the corner speed is still a little slower than us, first run at a normal pace. ”
On lap 48, when Liu Hongyu drove through Turn 16 to start a new lap, Marcus said in TR.
'Hamilton pitted, 2.4 seconds, and could be in front of you after the pit stop. Hasten. ”
Fortunately, he had already lapped Schumacher, who was in 17th place in front of him, at Turn 16, and he also had the advantage of DRS and wake.
After rubbing the wake of Stroll in front of him, Liu Hongyu took advantage of his way to raise the car to top speed, but it was still a little slower, and Hamilton just came out of the station at this time, using new soft tyres.
"That's a bit tricky..."
After deciding with the team on the strategy for the next few laps, Liu Hongyu could only pray in his heart that Hamilton's soft tyre decay would be faster.
"Huh? Isn't he my idol? Forget it, whatever, catch up with him while his tires aren't hot. ”
At this time, a certain Han suddenly remembered something.
MD! Am I not a Han fan?!
After following a few corners, Liu opened the DRS on the big straight to try to overtake Hamilton. But the tires of the Mercedes car in this race seem to heat up very quickly, and he also has the DRS of Ricardo who was lapped in front of him, and Liu Hongyu can't do anything with him.
"Alas... No, isn't there a problem with this year's Mercedes straight? ”
After following a few corners, Liu Hongyu suddenly remembered that this year's Mercedes at the end of the straight has not been fast, for example, the original history of the American station (Austin) Verstappen overtook Hamilton, because Hamilton had to use MGU-K for kinetic energy recovery in advance, which caused the power output of the engine at the end of the straight has always been problematic, so the end speed of the straight will not be particularly fast.
"Is this opportunity coming soon?" Liu Hongyu thought to himself, and by the way, he pressed the button behind the steering wheel and began to let the engine output at full power.
After successive corners, Liu Hongyu braked early before Turn 16 to cross the line and spell out the corner with Hamilton, and took the outside line in Turn 16 to overtake Hamilton.
On the big straight, Liu Hongyu turned on the DRS and used the tail speed advantage to slightly shake off Hamilton, and at this time, Verstappen, who was chasing frantically behind, also followed.
“Save it.” Marcus said suddenly. Liu Hongyu still understands what he means, to protect the tire, at present, the decline rate of Liu Hongyu's soft tires is not so fast.
On lap 52, Liu Hongyu's soft tyres gradually began to decay, but the good news is that Hamilton's luck is also average, and the soft tyres decay relatively quickly, perhaps there is also the reason why he is trying his best to defend Verstappen.
“Shall we box?” Liu Hongyu asked.
"Stay outside, wait... Nonono! Box! Box right now! The race will be out of the safety car! ”
Marcus just wanted Liu Hongyu to stay outside, but the race club suddenly got out of the safety car, and Pagani naturally didn't let go of this opportunity to earn time, and Liu Hongyu happened to be at the entrance of the pit stop at this time.
"So... What happened? Liu Hongyu asked when he made a pit stop to adjust the racing mode.
"It's Aokang, Aokang burst the cylinder, and Latifi, who was ringed by him, didn't notice him when he wanted to untie the set, and the two of them retired directly after colliding, and the debris will not be clean for a while, so change the soft tires for you, and the driver behind seems to have received the order to pit stops."
After the pit stop, Liu Hongyu was in second place, and Russell in front of him just made a pit stop two laps before the accident, so he became a winner and rushed to the first place to lead the race, but his medium tyres were still a bit inferior to Liu Hongyu's new soft tyres, and with his speed advantage, it was basically only a matter of time before he overtook Russell.
"Isn't that interesting..."After learning about the current ranking from the team, Russell's side suddenly became a little difficult. The sudden collision led to a serious strategic mistake on the part of the team, and the situation instantly began to become passive.
'Verstappen is behind you, followed by Hamilton and Pérez. They are all new soft tyres. ”
On lap 58, after untying the lap cars back to the back of the line, the safety roof lights went out and the race was ready to restart.
Russell began to accelerate on the big straight after the press, and Liu Hongyu was not in a hurry, so he saved some power and prepared to do the final flight lap.
After following a few corners, Liu Hongyu sucked Russell's wake on the big straight, turned on the overtaking mode, braked late, and walked the outside line cleanly past Russell. The pace in the next few corners was also good, stretching the gap between him and Russell to 0.2 seconds.
After speeding up and throwing off a few cars behind him, Liu Hongyu took advantage of the current power to start brushing the lap speed directly with the flying lap running method, and directly let the engine output at full power.
After two laps and three stages of purple, Liu Hongyu's power was almost used. After adjusting the engine to normal mode output and starting to store power, Verstappen was about to catch up with him.
"Ahh W13 turned out to be... Keeping up with Verstappen? ”
Looking at the silver arrow in the rearview mirror that was closely following behind the Red Bull car, Liu Hongyu asked in surprise.
"You may have forgotten something, Lewis used the new upgrade kit at this stop, and they have been following the car very well at this stop, but Russell didn't use the upgrade kit, so you don't know that the W13 has the ability to keep up with Red Bull."
After a few laps behind Liu Hongyu, Verstappen made a direct move on the big straight, but the tail speed was not enough, and Liu Hongyu, who had just entered, had a small collision between the two, and Hamilton took the opportunity to chase over to narrow the gap between several people.
In the next few corners, Liu Hongyu stuck the line and began to defend, but Verstappen was able to defend it, but this Hamilton attacked. At Turn 16, Liu Hongyu deliberately let Verstappen pass the DRS detection point one step ahead of him and then take the outside line to try to get Verstappen out of the corner, and Verstappen cut to the outside line to defend. Hamilton seized the opportunity to sneak past the right-hand side and start leading the race.
At this moment, Verstappen's left front wheel slightly pushed against the side wall of Liu Hongyu's car, directly pushing Liu Hongyu out a little bit. Liu Hongyu hurriedly turned the steering wheel to save the car after feeling that the car was out of control, and the car was rescued, but his position was gone.
"Grass! (A plant, really no swearing) sealing the line so dead? Liu Hongyu felt the pain in his hands and scolded, after all, he couldn't see Hamilton at all at this time because Verstappen was blocking his view on his right side.
'The accident on the track, Hamilton coming inside and Verstappen didn't have enough space. Concentrate on the pursuit. Marcus briefly told Liu Hongyu about the situation just now.
On lap 62, the last five laps of the race began. Taking advantage of the fact that Hamilton and Verstappen were fighting in the front row, Liu Hongyu quickly narrowed the gap between the two.
After Turn 9, Liu Hongyu went out of the corner and entered the big straight, and then chose to directly turn on the DRS to increase the power output, and at the end of the straight, he took the inner line and braked late to complete the limit of one through two, but the power was basically used up. Verstappen overtook Hamilton on the outside and followed behind Liu Hongyu at any time.
Turn 12, that is, in the hairpin corner, Verstappen took the outside line to try to overtake Liu Hongyu, and Liu Hongyu, who saw this scene on the inside, also chose to defend.
After getting out of the corner, Verstappen suddenly took the outside line and entered the two combo corners, Liu Hongyu was not in a hurry when he saw this, and the familiar early brake took the cross line to let Verstappen pass, and then followed closely behind his body to suck the wake to gain a speed advantage.
Entering the Grand Straight, Liu Hongyu and Hamilton opened the DRS to try to overtake Verstappen at the same time, forming two breads of cheese directly on him. It's just that after entering the corner, Liu Hongyu, who was originally on the outside, had an inside advantage in Turn 2, and he stuck his position and didn't let the two pass.
After a few corners, Verstappen seized the opportunity to take the inside line to overtake on the big straight, Hamilton also wanted to take the outside line to test the water, but Liu Hongyu saw Verstappen in the left rearview mirror and chose to draw the dragon early brake and fight Verstappen out of the corner.
After the corner, Liu Hongyu's speed was obviously better, he overtook the inside line at the 12th turn after the 11th turn through the full throttle, but the reaction was a little slower after the corner, and he failed to adjust the racing mode in time, and the two went directly side by side after the corner. Liu Hongyu took advantage of the trend to brake early and walked the crossing line, anyway, he is now this trick - to spell out a corner with you. Anyway, you're not as fast as me in the corners, and you're not fast in the corners, so why do you run out of power on the straights and compare the speed of the straights with you? Isn't it fragrant to play up your strengths and avoid your weaknesses?
After Verstappen passed the DRS inspection point, Liu Hongyu followed him closely and walked the inside line to eat Verstappen raw cleanly.
The grappling continued until the final lap.
Before lap 64, Liu Hongyu's rhythm out of the corner was obviously affected by a small collision with Hamilton that caused him to miss the braking point, causing him to be overtaken by two cars. But he went straight to the next two laps and finally followed closely behind the two.
After the start straight, the gap between Liu Hongyu and Verstappen was gradually eroded, and before the big straight, the difference between the two was only 0.2 seconds.
Entering the big straight, Liu Hongyu turned on the DRS and drove the car directly to the outside line to complete a shocking one-two, Verstappen also chose to cut to the outside line with more open space, ready to fight with Hamilton to brake and defend Liu Hongyu at the same time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hongyu took the inside line and ate Verstappen raw after a false shot, and then followed closely behind Hamilton in the next few corners.
"Can't hesitate! Liu Hongyu must pass! ”
After Liu Hongyu passed Turn 12, Zhou Haoran in the commentary room could no longer calm down to watch the game.
"This is probably the best game of the year for us! Not one of them! Pass Turn 13! Louis tangentially inward! Is he going to do it now? ”
At this time, David Croft couldn't hold back his excitement.
After passing Turn 13, Liu Hongyu went directly to the inside line to overtake Hamilton in the late brake jam position and regain the first place.
"Pretty beyond! Liu Hongyu led the race! ”
After surpassing Hamilton, Liu Hongyu stepped on the accelerator and directly started the maximum power output in advance, just to have enough gap with Hamilton before entering the big straight.
After passing through Turn 16 at high speed, with no time to look at the rearview mirror of the car, Liu Hongyu directly started full throttle and then ran out of power, welcoming the chequered flag for the second time this season.
Anthony Davidson said excitedly: "With the chequered flag waving!" Liu Hongyu passed the finish line! This amazing Chinese kid is like his nickname "Artist" in F3, and he always brings us surprises and miracles! After Saturday's controversial qualifying session! Liu Hongyu! Won the Spanish Grand Prix! ”
“Let's go! Tell me out loud! Who is the winner of this game? Liu Hongyu shouted excitedly in TR.
"It's you! Louis! Well done! Get ready to bathe in champagne! The fastest lap of the race plus the championship! Well done! At this moment, we can only describe you with the words that describe Wu Song in your famous Chinese book (this refers to "Water Margin" Marcus forgot how to read it)! It's the Lord of Heaven and the Devil! It's really a god in the world! Well done! Marcus shouted excitedly from the other end of the P room.
It's still the familiar champagne session, but this time, it's no longer the Anglo-German anthem legato or the Dutch-Austrian national anthem, and the rare Chinese and Italian national anthem legato sounded at the F1 medal ceremony for the second time.
