Speed ​​God

Chapter 47 Unruly

Bold, calm, decisive, almost insane.

Vasser's eyes, which had barely been awake the entire time, suddenly lit up, his heart pounded in his throat, and anticipation and excitement burst forth uncontrollably.

however--

Almost, and only almost.

Alessi, demonstrating his experience, tightened the circuit in a split second, following Lu Zhizhou wheel-to-wheel, even aggressively squeezing in, his gaze twisted and menacing as if he were ready to take Lu Zhizhou down with him—

Anyway, he suffered no loss by being eliminated together; he could still join the Trident team, but Lu Zhizhou was not so lucky.

The situation is extremely tense.

Alessi had the advantage from the start, entering the corner first, while Lu Zhizhou practically forced his way in, without any line advantage.

At this point, the tire grip was clearly insufficient, further compressing the space for Lu Zhizhou to delay acceleration in the corner.

Ultimately, Alessi's toughness and brutality turned his advantage into oppression.

If they collide at this moment, Lu Zhizhou will be 100% eliminated, while Alessi will still have a 50% chance of staying, which is obviously disadvantageous to Lu Zhizhou.

On the verge of exploding—

Lu Zhizhou eased off the throttle, adjusted the steering, and held tightly to the apex of the corner, his tail swinging. In that brief moment, wheel-to-wheel Alessi had already secured the advantage and smoothly surged forward.

Alessi's laughter echoed in the strong wind; he even raised his left hand, pointing his middle finger, and if he hadn't been wearing a helmet, he would have already unleashed his trash talk.

squeak!
Lu Zhizhou's right front wheel locked up, and a puff of white smoke rose from it.

Zhou Guanyu seized the opportunity, moved in from the outside, closely followed Alessi, and instantly emerged from Turn 1 half a body length ahead of Lu Zhizhou.

In the pit lane, Vasser leaned back slightly, looking a little regretful. Just a hair's breadth away from completing the feat of overtaking everyone around a corner.

However, a slight difference can lead to a huge error, and that's the allure of Formula One racing.

Wasserl looked at Marchionne and teased him with a smile, "A little impulsive, but bold."

It wasn't mockery or criticism; quite the opposite, you could hear Vasseur's appreciation.

But Marchionne, unusually, did not respond. He gave Vasseur a meaningful look and then continued looking at the screen.

Vasser raised an eyebrow slightly, not understanding why, and looked over as well.

Both Turn 2 and Turn 3 are right turns. Turn 2 is a high-speed turn, while Turn 3 connects to a compound turn. Therefore, there is a short straight before Turn 2. After accelerating fully, continue accelerating through the high-speed Turn 2 and speed all the way to Turn 3.

Alessi, Zhou Guanyu, and Lu Zhizhou were still locked in combat, with only half a body length separating them.

Both Alessi and Zhou Guanyu launched aggressive attacks, squeezing each other into space and creating turbulent airflow. This caused them to brake slightly late before the corner, and both cars went slightly out of bounds. However, neither of them relaxed, and they refused to give up the close battle even at the cost of tire grip.

When Zhou Guanyu cut into Turn 3 from Turn 2, he braked a little later than Alesi and once again tried to overtake from the outside.

Alessi didn't recover quickly from the chaos and continued to instinctively and habitually guard the inside.

The two cars were slightly off-center, amidst turbulent currents.

Lu Zhizhou, who had been waiting and gathering his strength, suddenly brightened up.

opportunity.

Lu Zhizhou followed Zhou Guanyu's driving line from the outside, but slightly adjusted the angle of the front of the car.

Looking in Zhou Guanyu's rearview mirror, there was no obvious difference, and Zhou Guanyu's attention would immediately focus on Alai. Lu Zhizhou remained calm and patient. Just as Zhou Guanyu entered the curve, habitually braked late, attempted to overtake from the outside, and had not yet completed the turn, Lu Zhizhou's driving line had already cut inside.

Brake. Downshift. All in one smooth motion.

The tires gripped the track tightly, and with continuous friction, they were approaching their operating temperature at full speed. The red front of the car pierced the gap between Zhou Guanyu's front and Alesi's rear like a sharp sword, locking itself in place.

Zhou Guanyu had not anticipated this turn of events.

Alessi had not anticipated this turn of events.

It changes in the blink of an eye, truly changes in the blink of an eye!
Lu Zhizhou, however, was completely focused and had an unwavering concentration. He knew the curve, position, and space of every bend clearly, and could even precisely rehearse the braking point and steering wheel angle in his mind.

In the narrow and cramped space, walk a clean and neat line, smoothly and smoothly get into position in the S-curve of turn three and turn four.

With each breath, as they emerged from Turn 4, Lu Zhizhou was already half a car length ahead of Zhou Guanyu.

And that's still not all. Relying on precise line control and perfect control at the moment of exiting the corner, Lu Zhizhou could instantly leave the enemy in the dust with a push of the accelerator.

Armstrong also tried to close the gap from behind, but the fierce battle between the two cars in front held him back for a moment, forcing him to slow down. Before he could catch his breath, Zhou Guanyu had already come to his senses, quickly leaving Armstrong behind, and the gap widened again, making the entire car formation clear.

Alessi. Lu Zhizhou. Zhou Guanyu. Armstrong.

Everything happened within the four corners.

Vasser's eyes widened. Now he understood Marchionne's meaning. From beginning to end, Lu Zhizhou's recklessness was not an impulsive and passionate adventure, but a bold and meticulous plan and attack. He launched a powerful attack when he knew that the tires had not reached the working temperature. He was like a master walking on a tightrope at high altitude. The onlookers were about to have a heart attack, but he himself was completely focused and confident.

Unconsciously, Vasser turned to look at Nicholas.

A hint of a smile flickered in Nicholas's eyes: He's got something.

However, this is just the beginning.

Lu Zhizhou adjusted his breathing slightly, maintaining focus and calmness. His brain was working at high speed, the race car speeding through the frigid air of Maranello, golden sunlight lazily streaming down—

It's great weather for racing. Warm-up over, time to get serious.

Lu Zhizhou caught up with Alessi's tail, with only half a second of space. After the two red race cars passed through the No. 5 hairpin turn, they entered the high-speed straight, flying at full speed like two arrows with their bows fully drawn.

Lu Zhizhou was not in a hurry. He knew very well that he needed patience. Although he and Alessi did not get along, underestimating the enemy rarely ended well.

Alessi is not easy to deal with.

This guy is like a powder keg—tough, fierce, and easily ignited. He's ruthless on offense and equally brutal on defense.

His driving patterns and timing are unpredictable; he often changes lanes and brakes without warning. He even goes so far as to hold onto the shoulder and rush through the apex of a curve.

The key point is that there was no purpose or strategy; it was just a sudden whim, purely because "the young master wanted to do it, so I did it."

Just like right now—

boom!
Ahead, Alesi slammed on the brakes at the entrance to Turn 6, nailing his car to the inside of the track. The tires left two black marks on the track, dust billowed, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Lu Zhizhou did not follow suit step by step.

He gently eased off the accelerator, controlling the distance to the car in front. It was clear that Alesi's braking was too aggressive, even reckless. If he continued like this for a few more laps, his tires would inevitably be ruined.

Lu Zhizhou refused to be drawn into Alessi's rhythm.

Then, the audacious and unruly Lu Zhizhou suddenly transformed into... a little lamb?
