Time reached 13:58 in the afternoon, Chen Xiangbei and Trulli both sat in their cars. Accompanied by the rotation of the external start motor, the Toyota engine roared like a waking dragon.
The numbers on the electronic timing board jumped second by second. When it reached 14:00, the exit signal light turned green, marking the start of the three qualifying sessions over the next hour!
"Trulli, head out first."
Odetto immediately issued the team instructions, directing Trulli to start his flying lap first.
Even though he didn't say the comforting words, in practice, Odetto was considering Trulli's adaptation situation.
Running one more flying lap could help better familiarize and control the car.
"COPY."
Trulli simply replied and accelerated out of the pit.
Chen Xiangbei stayed put; his practice lap times had already proven that there was no risk of being eliminated in Q1, so he could wait until the end of the qualifying session to run a flying lap.
