The two cars sped down the straight. Approaching Turn 3, Wu Shi, as expected, took the middle line to defend.
Rosberg didn't launch an attack, feeling the timing wasn't right. As he followed the racing line and braked, he was surprised to find the car ahead was incredibly slow. In that split second, the gap between them vanished.
On the verge of a collision, he slammed on the brakes and yelled into his team radio, "Hey! What is he doing?!"
At the same time, Wu Shi told his team over the radio, "I feel like the car is a bit out of control."
With that said, he floored it out of the corner, pulling away from Rosberg, who had just been forced to brake hard.
'The car wasn't out of control. It was just a couple of words to cover my own ass.'
Having bought himself some time with that devious little trick, Wu Shi maintained his lead through the second sector.
