After Turn 4 was the large, sweeping Turn 5. Because its curve was so wide, the only difference from a straightaway was that drivers needed to slightly turn the steering wheel and fight off a "little" bit of G-force.
"Wu Shi is following very closely! Tailing another car like this easily causes the engine and tires to overheat, but with only a lap and a half left, he can't afford to care about that anymore!"
Following the commentators' perspective, the two cars rounded Turn 6, sped down the short straight, and clipped the apex of the obtuse Turn 7. Together, they arrived at Turn 8—the very corner where Wu Shi had previously plotted his overtake on O'connor.
Here, Wu Shi wasn't actually preparing to overtake because the conditions were less than ideal. But no matter how inadequate the conditions were, he would still attempt an attack.
