Chapter 668
Soon the team detected that Bu Zelu was speeding up through his racing car, and it was also discovered through sensors that Bu Zelu was using the overtaking mode at this time.

This news was gathered to Toto Wolff. Since they couldn't communicate, no one knew what Bu Zelu was doing.

"Calculate his tire consumption!" Toto Wolff sent the order first, then turned to look at Niki Lauda again.

At this time Niki Lauda was also staring at Bu Zelu's lap time.

"If it were me, I would speed up now, there are still 30 laps left in the race..."

"The optimal number of working laps for a tire is 20 laps..."

"50 laps to stop, 10 laps to go..."

"Tire saving doesn't mean that you can't last, so you can speed up consumption..."

Toto Wolff did not interrupt Niki Lauda's soliloquy, but listened patiently.

"He's aiming at Vettel!" Niki Lauda said suddenly, "He's thinking that if Vettel gets new tires, he might not be able to last the race. Now run a little more. If he can last, pull out a pit stop window. Even if you stop late, you won't be overtaken by Vettel."

Toto Wolff instantly understood that it was because he was afraid that Red Bull would undercut the Buze shoes.

The so-called Undercut is some "terms" in F1, which means that the lagging driver enters the pit stop ahead of time to change the tire to temporarily gain a tire advantage, and tries to overtake the opponent when the car in front enters the pit.

In other words, in fact, I stopped in advance to change new tires, and then used the next lap to let the tires hit the working temperature in advance.

While waiting for you to change tires on the track, complete the overtaking.

In fact, Bu Zelu was overtaken in the last pit stop because Vettel took advantage of this Undercut tactic.

But fortunately, Bu Zelu followed Vettel tightly, but for this reason, he used a very aggressive and dangerous way to overtake him in the next lap.

But at that time, there was no slow car in front of the two of them. At the end of the race, the entire track was full of cars. At that time, there would be no DRS for Bu Zexie, and Vettel would regain the advantage in minutes.

The team is just guessing, we can only see whether Bu Zelu suddenly ran away because of convulsions, or whether it is really as they guessed.

Bu Zexiu completed a timing lap with brand-new tires, directly refreshing the fastest speed on the track.

Another lap, Bu Zelu once again refreshed his own speed just now.

On the third lap, Bu Zelu's speed decreased, but still maintained the previous average lap speed.

Now the team has confirmed that Bu Zelu is racing fast, not sparing the tires at all, and frantically widening the distance from the car behind.

"Recalculate Joye's lap time, how many laps will his tires decay!" Toto Wolff is very glad that the team has invited Niki Lauda, ​​a great god.

Without Niki Lauda, ​​they are losing communication with the drivers and can only guess wildly, but with Niki Lauda it is different.

Also as a driver, Niki Lauda has driver experience and has given great support to the team.

"If only Nico was behind him!" Toto Wolff looked at the GPS position of the car with some regrets.

If the two Mercedes are together, even Rosberg can give Bu Zelu some hints, such as pit stops, and some changes in the car can be used to remind the car in front.

But what about Rosberg now?
After the lead of the safety car, the gap between everyone was shortened, and Rosberg has dropped from the previous sixth place to the eighth place.

Just as Toto Wolff was thinking, on lap 34, Lotus was forced to call Grosjean into the pit due to a technical failure, which directly ruined the Frenchman's 70-second pit stop , fell to the end of the line after exiting the station.

This time, Rosberg picked up a bargain and moved up a position.

On lap 38, the same problem led to Grosjean's eventual early retirement.

At the front of the track, Bu Zelu began to use his tires to widen the gap with the car behind, and his lap time was 2 seconds faster than the nearest Vettel per lap.

Longso was blocked by Vettel and was unable to surpass for a long time.

On lap 48, Alonso opened the virtual 2-stop window for everyone, entered the pit first, and fell into tenth place after exiting the pit.

Webber responded quickly and pitted with Alonso.

Rosberg pitted one lap late, but Webber got ahead of Rosberg by pitting one lap earlier.

Finished Undercut and came directly to No. 5.

Rosberg was so depressed, he managed to overtake Weber, but he was overturned by Undercut before he had two laps.

After Massa got out of the station in a melee, he followed his teammate Alonso and escorted him.

On the 44th lap, Vettel, who was in second place, made two stops and followed Button who had not changed the tire.

Vettel didn't wait too long. Now he couldn't stare at Bu Zelu. Alonso behind him had finished changing tires.

Taking advantage of Alonso being stuck in the queue of slow trains, he hurriedly completed the tire change in close combat. After exiting the station, he narrowly blocked in front of Alonso and almost fell over.

At this time, Vettel has fallen to the sixth place, and all the drivers in front of him have not completed the tire change.

A large number of drivers have not yet completed the pit stop, and the entire sequence is chaotic, but the number of laps is very subtle now, and no one knows whether the car in front will hold to the end or pit.

At this time, according to the current order, Bu Zelu continued to lead, followed by Perez, Hamilton, Raikkonen, Button, and then other drivers who completed the 2 stops.

Werther sixth, Alonso, Massa, Webber, Rosberg.

That's where the current top ten drivers stand.

On lap 46, Raikkonen completed the melee and miraculously ranked eighth behind Massa after exiting the pit.

On lap 47, Perez and Hamilton pitted at the same time, but their luck was not so good when they came out, falling directly behind Rosberg.

On lap 49, Bu Zelu finally saw the 'cue board' for him to pit, but what he didn't know was that he was already ahead of No.2, no, to be precise, the gap of more than 3 seconds behind No.30 Vettel .

The window to play is not very good, but he is still in front of Vettel, and he can clearly see the big Red Bull behind him.

Now all the vehicles on the field have basically completed three stops, actually two stops.

Bu Zelu was in trouble now, with all kinds of slow cars ahead. He turned on the overtaking mode again, but he could only rely on the performance of the car itself.

Even if he came to the DRS area, he could only use the wake of the slow car to steal a little speed and try to widen the gap with Vettel.

On lap 56, Bu Zelu looked puzzled at the car in front of him.

"What is this McLaren doing? Hurry up and give way to me! I'm so anxious!" Bu Zelu was short of the car's horn, and looked at the car blocking the road in front of him without the slightest intention of giving way.

After several corners in a row, Bu Zelu found that the car in front not only refused to give way, but was still desperately sitting and defending. Isn't this fucking funny.

"Well, joye doesn't seem to know that Button didn't change tires in melee!" Toto Wolfe turned to Niki Lauda with a wry smile.

"It should be like this!" Niki Lauda was watching the TV broadcast, Bu Zelu frantically stretched out his hands in the cockpit and gestured to the car in front, signaling the other party to give way.

Bu Zelu was so angry that he almost smashed the steering wheel. After such a delay, Vettel behind him chased directly into the rearview mirror.

'MGP, if you don't let me, I will surpass myself! Bu Zelu directly used the late brake to fight for a cornering speed, came to the big straight and started to accelerate crazily.

After passing, Bu Zelu realized that this McLaren was Button's racing car, and crazily stretched out his hand to greet the opponent, which was almost like a middle finger.

But the next moment, Button's car directly turned on the DRS to overtake. This operation directly stunned Bu Zelu.

What the hell is going on here, a slow car dares to overtake me, are you not afraid of track arbitration or what?
Bu Zelu, who was overtaken, was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that after Barton overtook him, a slow car appeared in front again.

Then the 'blue flag' was lit on the sidelines. Sure enough, Williams in front was very well-behaved and gave way to the two cars.

Now Bu Zelu looked ahead...

"Emmmm, what the hell is going on, am I leading, or how many positions have I lost after pitting?" Bu Zelu looked back at Vettel behind him.

But what Bu Zelu can confirm is that Button in front is not a slow train, at least there is no blue flag in front of this meeting.

Crossing Turn 7 and ending the DRS zone, Bu Zelu, relying on the performance of the car, caught up with Button's car again visible to the naked eye.

"MD, how did you run in front of me with a broken McLaren? Even if we are brothers, you are fighting with me?" Bu Zelu passed several corners and instantly killed Button in front of him.

After overtaking, Bu Zelu looked curiously. It was indeed McLaren, and it was indeed Button's car.

Anyway, Bu Zelu is confused now, he doesn't know where he is now.

When passing the big straight again, Bu Zelu deliberately merged to the inside line, raised his finger from a distance, pointed at his helmet, then raised his fingers one by one and pointed at himself.

In a short moment, Bu Zelu's car rushed through the big straight and came to lap 57. He was confused now, and even forgot how many laps he had run now.

The team received feedback at this time, and the live broadcast really took care of the Mercedes team, and released the gesture made by Bu Zelu on the main straight of the grid.

Toto Wolff could only look at Niki Lauda next to him, hoping that he would answer.

"It should be asking how many laps are left." Niki Lauda thought for a while.

"Tell joye that there are still 3 laps." Toto Wolfe immediately notified the staff on the side of the barbed wire in the maintenance area and asked him to play the 'indicative sign'.

Because Bu Zelu needs to see the numbers in the next lap, that is to say, it will be 58 laps by then.

After running another lap, Zelu no longer knew where Vettel was behind him, because this lap he was stuck in a slow car formation, and several cars in a row blocked his view.
