To be honest, Chen Xiangbei was tempted!
Whether it's the shares of the HRT Team or the performance of the TF110 prototype car, he has a desire to make a big gamble.
With experience from future eras, Chen Xiangbei knows better than anyone the importance of driver control and autonomy.
Not to mention the Hockenheim of this era, despite achieving a super rookie performance, was ruthlessly kicked out by the Williams Team.
Just like Zhou Guanyu's annual contracts in later years, many times it's a "precarious" torment.
The team keeps delaying the confirmation time for signing, playing psychological games with the driver, hoping to squeeze more sponsorship funds through extreme pressure.
The driver is uncertain if they can still race tomorrow, or if their career will end, making it difficult to perform well under anxiety, often falling into a vicious cycle.
Of course, one could say they lack strong psychological resilience and stress resistance.
