Hamilton to some extent has already proven this point, and Chen Xiangbei is currently following in his footsteps.
Chinese or other Asian people can also produce racing geniuses who can become the fastest drivers on the planet!
The only somewhat negative coverage focuses more on Chen Xiangbei's engine troubles after qualifying, which counts as a sort of curse for Asian drivers.
Before Chen Xiangbei, there were two Asian drivers who managed to start from the front row: Sato Aguri's pole position in the 1990 Spain Grand Prix and Sato Takuma's second place in the 2004 Europe Grand Prix.
In fact, in history, there was a third Japanese driver who achieved this, which was during the 2012 Belgium Grand Prix when Kobayashi Kamui ran an astonishing miracle lap.
Although he didn't get pole position, he managed to get second with the mid-tier Sauber car, but still couldn't escape the fate's curse!
