Sawano Hiroyuki revealed his role as a race engineer, not only shocking Tsuchiya Keiichi and Suzuki Aguri, but even Chen Xiangbei looked at him in disbelief.
During his time at the Honda Racing Academy, Chen Xiangbei genuinely recognized Sawano Hiroyuki's character and coaching abilities.
Although Sawano Hiroyuki was silent and rather stern, appearing difficult to get along with, he was actually meticulous, professional, and fair, never showing favoritism to any trainee, including himself, the new Chinese kid.
Moreover, Chen Xiangbei received a piece of information from Mizutani Sho during training.
He learned that his opportunity to join the Honda Racing Academy was thanks to Sawano Hiroyuki advocating for him against public opinion, giving him a trial chance!
Without Sawano Hiroyuki's perseverance, there would be no Chen Xiangbei today.
