After crossing the finish line and defending the championship of this station, Zhou Yingjie won No.2099.

Zhou Yingjie successfully won the pole position with an amazing lap in qualifying this morning. He started the race very smoothly today and maintained the leading position. After the first few laps, he was already 0.5 seconds ahead of Wang Hongwei behind him. With his advantage, it seems that nothing can stop him from heading towards the championship.In subsequent games, Zhou Yingjie's performance never had any problems.

The accident happened suddenly at this time. On the No.14 lap, his huge mistake made Wei Zhangyue, who had completed the overtaking and rose to the second place, seize this opportunity to overtake.Most likely because of tire problems, Zhou Yingjie was unable to stop Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue passed him in the end.

This situation made Zhou Yingjie and his entire team confused. Zhou Yingjie kept asking what went wrong on the radio, and the team's answer was: "It may be because of our tires, but I don't know. Why didn't Zhang Yue's tires show the slightest problem, so he ran ahead." This made Zhou Yingjie very crazy, and after adjusting the car, he quickly launched a fierce attack on Zhang Yue, but failed to achieve what he wanted result.

After the race, Zhou Yingjie’s team admitted that the team’s communication with the driver was not in place when talking about why such a situation occurred, and that this mistake was probably caused by a tire problem: “We originally thought that Our tires have enough advantages, because when Zhou Yingjie made that move, we didn't stop him, because we believed that there would be no problem, but...unfortunately, it still happened."

The team further stated that Zhou Yingjie's mistakes came from their negligence: "At that time we should have stopped him and asked him to take more secure defensive measures. Before that, we thought the tires were strong enough, but when the accident happened It wasn’t until we realized it wasn’t enough, and by the time we discovered it, there was nothing we could do.”

After being overtaken, there were only a few laps left in the race, but Zhou Yingjie could not threaten Zhang Yue's position when the tires were not dominant. In the last few laps, he even gave up trying to catch up. Zhang Yue said : "It was an unbelievable weekend, I thought I would be the one to win the championship, but... I honestly don't know what the problem is. The game is over, although I am very unwilling, but I still want to congratulate Zhang Yue, this young, only 15-year-old racing driver, he performed really well in this race today, including qualifying in the morning, actually as early as yesterday's free practice session I was wary of him in the middle of the game, he is really strong, so until now I can hardly believe that he will be a rookie in the racing field. We will have to take a good look at what the problem is when we go back. I think I won't have any problems with my driving, but unfortunately it really happened. Until now, I don't even want to believe it. At the last moment, I have to protect my tires, because behind me, there is an eyeing competitor. So I slowed down a bit."
