That's the cruelty of F1 racing. It is never possible to just keep your own position. Only by constantly moving forward and surpassing can you break through yourself.

The race entered the tenth lap.

Xu Xizhou and the Renault car in front were biting each other for several rounds, and finally on a drs straight, Xu Xizhou once again used the wake to overtake the past.

This time, he didn't give the Renault a chance to overtake him, braking precisely at Turn 11 and driving into another medium-speed zone, Turns 12 and 13.

After passing Turn 13 at half throttle, he accelerated with all his strength and started chasing Bowerman of Ferrari in front.

About halfway through the race, he and Bowerman pitted at about the same time.

He was 0.8 seconds faster than Bowerman at the start of the race, and he used this 0.8 seconds to cut into the next corner first, leaving Bowerman far behind.

Next came three or four corners in a row. It was very difficult for Bowerman to pass him, and his goal was changed to another Ferrari in front, which was eighth.

If he can surpass it, he can get a little more points in this game.

Xu Xizhou narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped up the accelerator. The car's engine roared like a beast roaring.

The gleaming red in front was getting closer and closer, but every time he thought he had a chance to pass, the Ferrari pulled away from him again, as if it was deliberately playing tricks on him.

After about ten laps, Xu Xizhou's patience was almost exhausted.

"Xu, calm down and don't blindly overtake. This may be Ferrari's strategy."

The engineer alerted him on the radio.

"If I don't overtake him, Bowerman will catch up sooner or later."

In the 40th lap of the race, Xu Xizhou decided to go for it. He cranked up the gas, biting the back of the Ferrari. They were about to pass the tricky Hairpin Eight, the most accident-prone corner for overtaking.

The two racing cars drove into the corner almost wheel-to-wheel at the same time. Xu Xizhou even saw the red sparks splashing out when the engine was working at high speed. In the roar that resounded through the sky, his heart was lifted to the highest point, and the galloping blood also In an instant, it seems to be frozen...

"My God, Xu Xizhou succeeded! The two cars almost collided. If it was delayed by half a second, the consequences would be disastrous!"

There was a hint of fear in the voice of the commentary in the studio.

After shifting gears, accelerating, and cutting straight down, Xu Xizhou breathed a sigh of relief. After a short period of excitement, he regained his energy and stared at the blue-black Mercedes-Benz racing car in front of him.

After fifty-seven laps, the race ended and Xu Xizhou finished seventh.

Di Cario, who took the pole position, won the first place without any surprise, and the second and third places were all Mercedes-Benz teams. Charles ran fourth, with Edward one place behind him in fifth.

Xu Xizhou parked the car back to the waiting area, got out of the car and was about to go for a medical examination, when he happened to bump into Edward who was coming in front.

"You're a good boy. You started eleventh, and you can still run seventh."

"Compared with you, my grades are barely readable."

Xu Xizhou knew in his heart that he was not satisfied with this result. Although everyone in the team was very happy and Carl came up to congratulate him, Xu Xizhou still felt that he should be able to do better.

After returning to the lounge and taking off his soaked racing suit, Xu Xizhou felt a lot more relaxed. After running fifty-seven laps, he lost a few pounds and was much more tired than when he was in F2.

Before he finished changing his clothes, there was a knock on the lounge door, Ren Duo and Zhuang Jingchun came, and Su Fan was there.

Seeing that his upper body was still naked, Zhuang Jingchun took three steps and two steps, and quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around him.

Ren Duo also covered her mouth a little embarrassedly and tugged at Su Fan's sleeve.

"Let's go out first and come back later."

The lounge door closed again.

Zhuang Jingchun looked at Xu Xizhou helplessly.

"Why did you open the door before you finished wearing your clothes?"

"I just don't have my shirt on, what's the point?"

"Of course it doesn't matter in front of me, but in front of your sister, it's not good."

Xu Xizhou blinked and looked at him mockingly.

"Is it bad in front of my sister, or is it bad in front of Su Fan?"

Zhuang Jingchun coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Anyway, it's not very good."

Chapter 085 The Official Announcement of Love

After changing his clothes, Xu Xizhou had not had time to say a word to Zhuang Jingchun, and was called by Karl to conduct a post-match interview.

This was the part that Xu Xizhou didn't want to face the most. Unzipping the zipper of his sports jacket, Xu Xizhou sat down in front of the microphone with some air.

One sharp question after another was thrown out by the media at the scene.

"Xu, are you satisfied with your seventh place result? Do you think it's because your opponent is too strong that it affects your mentality?"

"Xu, Edward, who also entered F1 as you, won the fourth place in this opener. Do you feel pressure?"

"Xu, in the next competition, is your goal to reach the podium? Do you have any competition strategy?"

Xu Xizhou looked at the media at the scene, did not say anything grand-sounding, but directly held the microphone with a serious face.

"I'm not satisfied with this result. Of course, reaching the podium is the goal of every racer, and it is no exception for me, but for me, the most important thing now is to adjust the mentality of the race. Talk to others. Comparing doesn't make sense, the only thing I have to do is outdo myself."

Charles, who was sitting beside him, didn't seem to expect that he would speak so directly, and gave him a surprised look.

After the interview, Xu Xizhou returned to the hotel with Zhuang Jingchun.

After a night of competition, he was so tired that he fell on the bed and fell asleep without taking off his shoes.

Zhuang Jingchun had just hung up her coat, and when she turned around, she found Xu Xizhou lying face down on the bed, sleeping soundly.
