"It seems that the debris over there can't be cleaned up for a while, and the director of the race didn't choose a safety car after thinking about it, and directly upgraded it to a red flag."

When he returned to the pits to replace the damaged parts of the car, Marcus said to Liu Hongyu through TR.

"Let's go down and rehydrate first, it's not so quick to get it over there, and it's estimated that it will take more than ten minutes."

After getting out of the car and chatting with the staff next to him for a while, the debris on the track was almost cleaned up, and Liu Hongyu put on his helmet and returned to the cockpit.

"Push, Push, Leclerc, Vettel, Bottas, Ocon, Ricardo and Norris all knocked out, and the car in front of you is not much of a threat to you."

After the team put Liu Hongyu on soft tyres in a tactical gamble, Marcus said.

After warming up the tires, Liu Hongyu stopped on the grid and started again.

At the start of the car with the lights out, Liu Hongyu relied on the tyre advantage to overtake continuously and rose to 13th place, and before the second corner, he braked late and passed Bottas and Alonso to rise to 11th.

On the big straight, Liu Hongyu turned on the overtaking mode and cut to the outside line to directly eat Albon, who started on hard tires, and returned to the points area.

"It's a bit embarrassing next..."

After overtaking at the fastest speed to return to eighth place, Liu Hongyu felt that the grip of the tires gradually began to decay.

"Do you need me to run longer?"

After brushing out the fastest lap of the field again, Liu Hongyu asked.

After receiving a positive reply from Marcus, Liu Hongyu adjusted the racing mode to reduce the engine power, and at the same time, the wiring was also slightly changed.

“Push，push”

After seeing Liu Hongyu start to keep the tyres, Alpha Tolli, who is also the driver of Little Red Bull Racing, Pierre Gasly, received a team order to signal him to attack Liu Hongyu.

Looking at the black and white car that was gradually chasing Liu Hongyu, Marcus reminded: "Gasly is behind you, repeat, Gasly is behind you." ”

After three or four laps, Gasly gradually chased within a second behind Liu Hongyu.

"Don't worry, he won't be able to get by."

After listening to Marcus remind him a few words, Liu Hongyu replied.

Coming to the starting straight, Gasly walked to the outside line to try to overtake Liu Hongyu, Liu Hongyu did not panic at all, and then kept the original line.

After Gasly turned on the DRS, he found that his tail speed in the clean air was not as good as Liu Hongyu's, so he had to cut behind him and choose to follow the car to the next big straight.

After two corners, Gasly went straight to the big straight, but his tail speed was never enough, and Liu Hongyu opened up a certain gap.

“Why the hell the Pagani so fast?”

Looking at Liu Hongyu's tail, Gasly asked.

"Maybe it's this time they've brought upgrades on the floor or on the rear wing, so let's focus on the race."

Listening to Gasly's grumbling, the corners of Pavard's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Just kidding... Any suggestion from that kid can get you little Red Bull to hit the middle and upper reaches of the Earth group..."Pavard thought to himself.

A few days ago, the United Kingdom.

"Sith, I have an idea."

After the team meeting, Liu Hongyu approached Pavard.

"Remember a few years ago, when the predecessor of DRS, the stall tail? It was the year McLaren spearheaded the F-Duct. As... Let's try it too? The air velocity of the floor is changed to a certain extent, and the air velocity of the upper and lower parts of the car is changed at the rear wing or spoiler. Changing the differential pressure leads to less downforce and thus increases our tail speed? Anyway, this year's FIA rules are a bit relaxed, so let's just exploit the loopholes in the rules. (As mentioned earlier, the FIA has slightly different rules.) In the second year of junior high school physics, the pressure is small where the air flow rate is fast. The F-Duct is an example of how the F-Duct successfully changes the air velocity in the upper part of the car, thereby reducing downforce and increasing tail speed. ）

"You can give it a try... But don't use it all the time, or it won't be long before the FIA bans or other teams start to learn. But will this pressure be too much, and turn it into a lifting force, have you considered it? ”

After discussion and design, Pagani's two cars were replaced with fine-tuned floors and rear wings, and then there was this DRS-free scene that blew up the Red Bull.

After following Liu Hongyu for a few laps, Gasly chose to start protecting the tires in order to ensure that the tires were not overconsumed, and Liu Hongyu was able to run laps with confidence.

On lap 28, Liu Hongyu found that his soft tires couldn't hold up, so he chose to plunge into the pit lane and change to neutral tires, and came out of the pit in eleventh place, just in front of Zhou Guanyu.

“Push，push。 There was a slow train ahead, mostly hard tyres, so they hadn't made a pit stop yet. ”

After Liu Hongyu aimed at the rear wing of the pile of cars driving DRS trains in front of him, Marcus reminded in TR.

After a few laps, Liu Hongyu relied on his perverted tail speed to overtake Alonso and Tsunoda in succession on the starting straight, and braked past Albon the night before entering Turn 1, leaving only Magnussen in front of him, who had not yet pitted.

On lap 35, Liu Hongyu drove DRS on the big straight and directly ate Magnussen to seventh place. However, since he had been held up by the train for a long time, he was a full twenty-two seconds behind Sainz in front of him, and he couldn't catch up with them for a while. After all, although Pagani has a plug-in, the current straight tail speed has begun to be inferior to the car of the Misanjia, and Pagani's corner speed on a low-downforce track like Baku is really average.

On the 45th lap, the yellow flag suddenly began to wave on the sidelines.

"Alonso burst out of the game." Marcus and Liu Hongyu talked about the situation behind him.

"It's a pity," Liu Hongyu said to himself.

For Alonso, Liu Hongyu still has a good impression, and after entering the paddock, he also passed on a lot of offensive and defensive skills on the track to him. It's a pity that now I have encountered the second-generation GP2 engine of Renault, otherwise the results in the last few years of my career are estimated to be able to go to a higher level.

Pit stops for hard tyres after the last stint. On lap 49, the safety roof lights went out, and Liu Hongyu seized the opportunity to pass Magnussen directly to move up to seventh place, and then began to try to attack Sainz.

However, the performance of the Sainz car in front of him was still there, and Liu Hongyu had nothing to do, so he had to follow Sainz in seventh place to finish the last few dozen laps. Hamilton, on the other hand, sprinted to fourth place after a faint start and a seven-second tyre change, and overcut Pérez on the soft tyres at the last minute, scoring the fastest lap and winning the best driver of the day.

Race standings (front to back, fastest lap Hamilton) Verstappen, Russell, Kimi, Hamilton, Pérez, Sainz, Liu Hongyu, Magnussen, Zhou Guanyu, Albon.

11th-22nd: Stroll, Schumacher Jr., Tsunoda, Gasly. Unfinished: Latifi (hydraulic problems went back to the pits, so there was no safety car or yellow flag) Alonso, Norris, Ricciardo, Ocon, Vettel, Bottas, Leclerc
