Driving on the main track for the warm-up lap, Chen Xiangbei quickly realized the traffic situation was not optimistic.
The road conditions and climate environment of the Bahrain Circuit are public data for each team.
Everyone knows that the later you leave the pit, the better the car's grip.
The HRT strategy group wants to gamble for a lap; other small to mid-sized teams are the same.
Plus, with the expansion of the paddock in the 10th season, there are two more teams and four more drivers compared to normal years, leading to a very "crowded" situation on the track.
In fact, such a traffic situation is not unforeseen by the strategy groups of each team; it's just that even knowing, they still choose to do so.
The reason is simple, leaving the pit early without taking a gamble will result in certain elimination.
If you gamble, as long as luck is on your side and you're not the one blocked, there's a tens-of-percent chance of advancing.
If it were you, you would gamble too.
