Before coming to the starting straight, Liu Hongyu did not choose to continue running! He pulled out a pit stop window and immediately pitted for new tyres. ”

Entering the pit lane, Liu Hongyu changed into brand new soft tires and was still in first place after leaving the pit.

"There are several slow trains ahead that are about to be lapped and have not yet pitted, and Verstappen may take the opportunity to close the gap with Liu Hongyu!"

After leaving the station, Liu Hongyu only had the green Aston Martin in front of him, and all he thought about was how to surpass it.

"Stroll is in front of you, Stroll is in front of you. If you can, warm up the tyres before coming over, Verstappen's hard tyres haven't warmed up yet. ”

After spending half a lap warming up the tires, Liu Hongyu changed the engine mode and began to chase after Stroll, who had already been lapped in front of him.

On the starting straight, Liu Hongyu relied on the unbeatable straight speed in Spa to chase after Stroll frantically. Originally, I wanted to do it after passing the El Rog Corner, but Stroll was too slow, and Liu Hongyu accelerated directly past half of his body after passing the turn of the corner.

Before entering the El Rog Bend, Liu Hongyu wanted to walk a line that he was used to walking inward, but after glancing at the rearview mirror, Liu Hongyu's car began to move inward slightly.

But all of a sudden, the Aston Martin shattered his illusions of competing for the title.

After sucking the tail, Stroll knew that Liu Hongyu had closed the door and was faster, but he still wanted to take the inside line to untie the set.

It was also in Liu Hongyu's inner kung fu that Stroll's left front wheel collided directly with Liu Hongyu's right rear wheel.

At that moment, Liu Hongyu's car went into a stall, and downforce was better than nothing. What's more, the El Rog bend is a full-throttle uphill corner, if there is no downforce...

"Oh!! Liu Hongyu's racing car took off directly! Something is definitely going to happen this time! ”

When he felt that the car was being pushed up, Liu Hongyu subconsciously wanted to turn the steering wheel to save the car, but when the car fell into a stall state and took off directly to start a 720-degree rotation, Liu Hongyu already knew that his game was over, and the rescue was destined to be useless, so he let go of his hand so as not to fracture his hand after landing.

“Noooooo…”

When the car touched the ground, Liu Hongyu suddenly woke up from his dream.

"It's just a dream..."

After waking up, Liu Hongyu realized that this was Nan Ke's dream.

After getting up and washing, Liu Hongyu packed up his things and went out to soak in the gym to train and adjust his state.

"After two weeks of waiting, we have the Silverstone Grand Prix! It was here 72 years ago that the first F1 race in history was held. ”

Silverstone has a long straight and several high-speed corners that can be passed at full throttle, such as in the 2021 race, when Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen collided at Turn 9, also known as the Copse corner, which became the trigger for the paddock's World War I.

This track is not only a test of the performance of the cars, but also a test of the driver's driving skills and courage.

"So... Have you considered what strategy to use in this game? ”

During the pre-race meeting of the third practice session, Liu Hongyu suddenly asked about the tuning of the car.

"High resistance and high downpress, this time there are more continuous corners, and we won't use a set of tuning that barely has any downforce like before. The bad news is that our rear wing and floor, which can cause the car to stall to some extent, have been noticed by the FIA and may be banned by them after a while. Pavard said after sending a design drawing to Liu Hongyu.

When it came to qualifying, Liu Hongyu rushed into Q2 and wanted to do a flight lap through a short dry window on the track in Q3, but...

Fairy luck broke into the upper body of director Latifi in Q3, Liu Hongyu just entered S3 and was about to end the flight circle, Latifi fell into the sand and gravel with one hand and directly brought the red flag. At the same time, Liu Hongyu's circle is also directly useless.

"It's still light rain, it may expand a little later, and it is expected to be lighter by the end of Q3... What to do? ”

After returning to room P and getting out of the car, Liu Hongyu looked at the data on the big screen in room P and asked.

"Adapt to the situation..."After communicating with the strategy team, Grant didn't have any good ideas for a while.

After lifting Latifi's car out, the rain began to accumulate on the track. After changing to semi-rainy tires, the team let Liu Hongyu go out to do a flight circle. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and after the remaining 8 drivers who entered Q3 had completed the flight lap, Liu Hongyu finally started in sixth place.

The starting order of the race is: Leclerc, Pérez, Verstappen, Sainz, Hamilton, Liu Hongyu, Russell, Kimi, Zhou Guanyu, Latifi, Norris, Ricciardo, Bottas, Gasly, Albon, Tsunoda, Magnussen, Stroll, Schumacher Jr., Vettel, Stroll.

By the time we got to the race, the track in north London had already rained and sunny. No brain-dead team would have a driver start on rain tyres. So Pagani decided to let Liu's car run a short stint on soft tyres and then pit to overcut his main rivals such as Norris and Sainz, who were not yet fully adapted to F1-75.

Kimi's tactics were the opposite, with the team planning to have him test the aerodynamics kit on medium tyres while blocking the car behind him as much as possible, lest one of the drivers who also used soft tyres undercut Liu.

At the start of the race, the top 10 drivers started on soft tyres, with the exception of Latifi, Kimi and Verstappen, who started on medium tyres.

In the warm-up circle, Liu Hongyu's tires have warmed up well, and it has reached about the working temperature, so as long as Liu Hongyu's start is normal, he can follow Hamilton in front of him to attack Verstappen, who uses neutral tires and has a lower tire temperature.

With the lights out, Liu quickly drove out to catch Hamilton in an attempt to overtake Verstappen at Turn 1. But it was the same as if it wasn't, as Verstappen's faint start kept him out of position.

Just as Liu Hongyu wanted to try to attack Sainz, who was not yet fully speedy in front of him, the sound of the car colliding and spinning against the wall from behind him made Liu Hongyu understand that there might be a big accident on the track.

“Emmmm... Red flag. There's a big accident behind Red Flag. Latifi, Tsunoda, Albon and Stroll collided. ”

After returning to room P, Liu Hongyu got out of the car and watched the replay.

In the start, Latifi fell out of position frantically, and Stroll behind him couldn't dodge and collided, which led to Magnussen, Albon and Tsunoda, the three drivers who had a much better start than Latifi, to retire from the race.

"Wait a minute, start at P5." Grant came over and confirmed that Liu Hongyu's overtaking of Verstappen had been completed before the accident, so it was an effective overtake.
