Chapter 995: Alonso's FE debut!
Alonso really hasn't experienced anything like this.
In Formula 1, the competition between the teams is fierce, but at the start of the hot tyres, they will distance themselves from each other for safety reasons. The real competition comes after the hot tyres are over and the car is in top working condition.
That's when the driver's skill and the team's tactical execution are truly revealed.
Of course, it is rare in F1 to blatantly restrict one car with more than a dozen or twenty cars like this.
Even in key stations, there is a tacit understanding between the teams, and they roughly know what kind of state they are in and what kind of results they will achieve. The competition, of course, also takes place roughly between teams with similar points to themselves.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Alonso's mouth under the hood were slightly hooked.
"Due to the lack of reflection hall,"
He turned on the squad radio and "asked to get out of tactics and drive freely." ”
At this time, it was Li Fanyu who was in charge of technical support. Hearing that the head brother wanted to go it alone, he picked up the radio, "Allow." ”
Alonso smiled in his heart, sure enough, here he has a freedom that he rarely enjoys in F1, if not that he can't enjoy!
Looking at the car in front of him, which was shaking the hot tires, he was also in the smiling space and began to shake the body from side to side.
An unhurried, unhurried posture.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Three minutes passed.
Because the teams were intent on suppressing Alonso and not giving him room to overtake, the distance between the cars was too small to be true.
In this way, the speed is naturally slow. Located in the middle of the sequence, it has a speed of only about one hundred kilometers per hour.
The front and rear cars were surprised to see the calm appearance of Zhengxin K217 car.
That's Alonso, that's the world's top driver!
In this case, let alone a driver with a super license. Even if it's a kart player, you'll find a way to break through.
But before the start of the race, the drivers of each team had already received the team's top instructions to make sure that the No. 17 car of Zhengxin, also known as Alonso, looked good.
So, despite their doubts, these drivers still held the pace unhurriedly when they saw that the cars in the first echelon were gone.
On the dry track and sunny weather in the city of Bucheng, a formula race with an average speed of 220KM made these drivers drive the speed led by a safety car on rainy days.
This made the audience outside the venue dissatisfied.
A few minutes after the opening, the audience outside the stadium who were completely focused on the body of Zhengxin K217 let out bursts of boos.
"Hey, what do you mean you're holding Alonso?"
"These idiots, you're going to slow down the whole echelon! Let's not watch the turtles race!"
"Fernando, rush! overtake them!"
"Damn, my half-limped grandmother is driving, I'm afraid the speed is faster than this equation!"
"Refund! Refund!"
The crowd booed loudly.
Some emotional spectators even threw mineral water and garbage in their hands over the stands to express their displeasure.
Seeing this scene, the event team was simply angry.
This year's Formula E was arguably the year with the biggest changes ever. It's about increasing the speed of the car, and it's about allowing the team's technology to intervene in the car. Now, with the up-and-coming Masanobu in the electric field, and racing legends like Alonso on board.
After the first race in Hong Kong, Formula E has attracted unprecedented attention around the world. This kind of progress can be glimpsed from the tickets of Bucheng sub-station.
After seeing the faster and more competitive Formula E qualifying in Hong Kong, tickets for the second stop increased by as much as 30 percent. After the first race, after the event team and the Zhengxin K2 team jointly announced the news of Alonso's joining, all the reserved tickets were sold out in just one day.
Under the huge enthusiasm of the audience, the competition party had to temporarily expand the viewing area and nearly double the number of tickets. But even so, the additional tickets were sold out within two days!
So now, the Bucheng sub-station, which has been pinned on by FE officials, is opening in this way that is definitely not expected, how can they accept it?
In other words, how can the advantages accumulated before disappear out of thin air?
The official response was not unimmediate, and in the 10th minute after the start of the race, the teams that were attacking car No. 17 immediately received a warning from the race team.
Increase your speed, and if you race negatively, you will be punished with the severest punishment!
The teams had anticipated this for a long time.
However, in the face of the warning to the event team, they only dared to disobey the yang and the yin, and did not dare to turn a blind eye. As a result, the teams received instructions from the teams - to speed up.
However, three minutes after the order was given, although the speed of each car increased slightly, it still seemed careless. At this time, it was not only the No. 17 car that was affected.
The pole-sitter who started first, and the first echelon that followed, had already completed the first lap. Even if they want to encircle Alonso, they can't give up the car in the face of the pressure circle.
In fact, the drivers of the various teams are also in a state of anxiety at this time.
Compared to F1, the biggest feature of the FE is that the noise level of the car is extremely low. Therefore, the sound of the outside world can be faintly heard even through the heavy helmet.
The boos of the spectators outside the stadium, the garbage that was about to be thrown on the track, and the instructions of the race team to give way to the car were all mixed together. It's a great shame for a professional driver.
As a result of the handicap, the racing formation around Alonso was a little loose.
It was at this time that the No. 17 car of Zhengxin, which had been working steadily and leisurely, and did not seem to be flustered at all, moved!
Looking at the gap between the cars in front of him, Alonso's thick eyebrows raised slightly, and he directly twisted the steering wheel sharply.
As Alonso increased his horsepower in an instant, there was a slight beep from the Zhengxin FEone motor and gearbox. Two high-precision rare earth permanent magnet motors burst out at this moment with even more amazing torque than the Zhengxin Kuafu V12!
With a screeching of tires, Alonso decisively overtook the car in front of him with lightning speed!
Seeing this scene, the audience outside the venue let out an exclamation in unison.
"FK!Car No. 17 turned on to catch up and stop him!"
There was a cacophony on the radio in the car ahead.
The formation also instantly panicked, and seeing such an opportunity, the No. 17 car of Zhengxin ...... It's powerful!
