Wu Shi, having driven the Mercedes-Benz simulator all day, gained a tremendous amount, especially after Peter joined in as an engineering consultant along with the simulator engineers.
At six o'clock in the evening, Free Practice 3 officially began. The results were not much different from Free Practice 2. By this time, some drivers had already realized something was amiss.
Wu Shi's time of 1 minute and 45.879 seconds seemed somewhat terrifying! Especially for many of the teams at the back of the grid, they figured that even if they drove as hard as they could in qualifying, they still wouldn't be able to achieve this lap time.
The reporters took the opportunity to conduct interviews, asking everyone for their thoughts on Wu Shi and his lap time.
Neon driver Kobayashi Kamui stated, "I think he just has a fast car."
