James threw the question to the guest Emil in the studio, wanting to know if the performance after the second practice has changed his stereotype of the Chinese rookie.
"I think it's very difficult. Currently, those pushing flying laps are veterans from big teams."
"Obviously, they don't want to lose to a Chinese rookie."
Emil casually replied.
Just like James said, you can feel the improvement in lap times in the Paddock and the drivers getting more serious.
In any case, he doesn't believe a rookie from China can snatch a ranking spot from the 'Big Three'.
Snatching the positions of Sauber or Williams is far easier than taking Ferrari's or McLaren's ranking!
"So where do you think Xiangbei can place?"
"At most ninth; he can't compete with any of the four big teams."
This time Emil gave a definite answer.
With Mercedes joining and Renault falling behind, Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull, and Mercedes have essentially become the four big teams in the Paddock.
