When Rosa asked him this question, Wu Shi couldn't think of how to explain it either. He could only say it was a feeling.
On tracks with more laps, he would be more conservative to ensure he could finish. When there were fewer laps, he would push harder to achieve ridiculously stunning results.
The knack for this, in the end, came from the precise feedback of his absolute car feel, which allowed him to calculate consumption on his own.
During pre-race practice, Verstappen still needed instruments to measure tire wear to estimate how to drive the car in the main race.
Wu Shi didn't need to refer to any of that. He imagined that when he drove in F1 in the future, if a technician on the team radio reported tire wear and overheating, he would just tell them to be quiet. He needed to concentrate on calculating the tire wear himself.
The thought brought an amused smile to his face.
