"All five lights are on... and we go green in Singapore. Brilliant start from the two Tesla drivers, sandwiching Lara in the Jag... down the inside goes Adam into turn 1, can he stick it into turns 2 and 3...? Sure, as heck he can."
The crucial first lap saw Adam in front during the first stint. His eyes were constantly focused on the rear-view mirrors, watching his daughter relentlessly trying to pass the Jaguar. Everyone knew that in a street circuit as narrow as Singapore, the only two realistic overtaking zones were the main straight and the Raffles Boulevard straight.
Lara got all of her set-up tuned to aid the straight line speed, knowing the straights were the only theoretical overtaking spots. In the heavy-braking and twisty bits, however, Victoria managed to shrink the gap to bare centimetres.
"I can't get past her, mate. She's a missile on the straight," Vicki reported.
Max, in the pit wall then changed the radio frequency over to Adam who was effortlessly pulling away from the rest of the grid. "Adam, Max here. Vicki is currently in a situation that she might lose P3 to Aläia if she doesn't get past Lara." Max radioed in.
"So? What do you want me to do, slow down? C'mon, Max. Tell Vicki this is her time to prove herself. You can't expect me to risk my position all the time..." Adam replied, not having any of it.
"Vicki, I know you can do it, let's make life difficult for her, let's go..." Max spurred the number 23 driver on.
"Aläia, your laps are 3-tenths quicker than Lara's, who's in P2. Not long till you're in the battle."
"How far are the two of them?"
"Vicki is just two seconds ahead of you, she's 5-tenths off Lara."
"We'll switch to Plan B, the. I don't wanna get caught in the battle like they are." The German then turned the power up and charged into the pits for a fresh set of prime compounds.
It didn't take long for the Jaguar and Tesla pit wall to take action upon Aläia's undercut attempt. "Adam, we're staying one lap longer, Vicki's coming in now," Max reported.
"Copy," Adam replied calmly, maintaining a healthy 5-second gap from the next car behind him.
The pit mechanics sprung out of the garages with fresh new tyres ready both at the Jaguar and the Tesla side. The two British girls swerved into their pit boxes at almost identical times. "C'mon guys!" Max shouted in the pit wall.
"Shit! Gun's jammed!" The rear-right mechanic exclaimed, quickly swapping with the back up tyre-gun and successfully removing the tyre. Victoria sat in the pit, head shaking in disappointment, seeing Lara exiting the pits almost two-seconds before she did.
Down the pit lane, Lara's eyes were watching the mini-map as the grey Mercedes EQ was zooming down the straight at nearly 300kph. "Lara's got the inside line heading into 3, can Aläia stick it around the outside...? Yes she can! What a move from the German!" The Mercedes garage were on their feet, applauding the sweet-little undercut.
