However, Chen Xiangbei's fastest lap time in the entire practice session so far is only 1 minute 30.778 seconds!
This result is worlds apart compared to his stellar performance at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
During the first practice in Bahrain, Chen Xiangbei dared to push his lap time by the second lap, but today in Australia, as the first practice is nearing its end, the Chinese rookie's racing line is still very conservative, not even daring to eat the curbs much.
Moreover, if Red isn't mistaken, did Chen Xiangbei slide at the beginning of the practice session?
It's just that back then, the broadcast camera wasn't focused on Chen Xiangbei's car, and the distant view was quite blurry, making Red uncertain.
"That's indeed the case, it's clear that Xiangbei is driving very conservatively."
Among the many "legends" who have retired from F1, Prost understands Chen Xiangbei the most.
