After completing the dive-bomb move, Chen Xiangbei immediately slammed the brakes, the heavy braking causing a slight lock-up, a wisp of white smoke curling up from the middle of the corner.
Even so, the speed still didn't fully bleed off. Car No.13 directly mounted the kerb, using literally the entire width of the corner, only just managing to steady itself with all four wheels skimming the edge of the white line outside the track!
Barrichello's prediction, built on twenty years of professional racing, was spot on: Chen Xiangbei really did use his decisive deceleration to pull off the overtake.
But he hadn't expected this rookie from China to dare play it this hard, this on the edge!
"Beautiful! Chen Xiangbei followed Barrichello for four laps, seized the chance on the long straight, heavy-braked and dived up the inside to complete the overtake. The whole process was insanely risky and thrilling."
