He wants to help Hamilton overtake!
To be honest, Chen Xiangbei was somewhat surprised and unexpected. Even though the two hadn't fallen out at this point, such cross-team cooperation between drivers from different teams is still very rare.
Similar situations over the years often occur in the battle for the annual championship; otherwise, who would want to do such a thankless task?
"Hamilton, seize the opportunity to overtake!"
McLaren Team's instructions were simultaneously conveyed to Hamilton's ear; now is the best time to overtake!
Actually, there was no need for Whitmarsh to emphasize, Hamilton understood what was happening and knew what he should do.
World champions in F1 have never been about upholding sports ethics. On the contrary, they can be ruthless for victory.
Not to mention cross-team instructions to overtake, even if there were cross-team instructions to push Chen Xiangbei off the track, Hamilton could comfortably accept the victory.
