In fact, the Red Bull Circuit in Spielberg, although owned by Mateschitz, is not the home of the Red Bull Racing team. Red Bull Racing is based in the small English town of Milton Keynes, where the former Jaguars factory in the UK is located.

However, there is no professional track in Milton Keynes, so most of the cars are tuned in performance. Teaching, all need to be done at the Red Bull Raceway.

The just-concluded test was for Red Bull Racing's new car this year, the RB13. The RB13 had a decent run at the Australian Grand Prix, with Red Bull Racing's youngster Ricciardo finishing third on the podium.

The two cars parked in the pit station are two RB9s from Mateschitz's collection, which are the cars of the 2013 Red Bull Racing team, one of which is the car in which Vettel won four consecutive championships, and the other is the veteran Mark Motors. Another car that Webb was driving back then.

The blue-black car that Vettel drove that year was the No. 1 car, and Tang Feng chose that car without giving up, and after Sam and Benjamin stroked, Benjamin won the mark of the year. Another RB9 driven by Webb.

To be honest, Tang Feng had never driven an F1 car before, so when he squeezed into the cramped cockpit, Mateschitz personally explained to Tang Feng how to drive this power monster.

F1 driving is different from a regular car, and the biggest difference is in the gears. F1 cars have accelerator and brakes, both under the sole of the foot, generally the right foot throttle, the left foot brake, of course, this can be replaced according to the driver's habits. For example, some left-handed riders may have a left-footed throttle. Brake with your right foot.

But the gears of F1 cars are very different from those of regular cars, and the gears of F1 cars are all on the steering wheel.

This is because Formula 1 cars currently use semi-automatic transmissions, which are shifted by two paddles behind the steering wheel. When changing gears, you can simply flick the paddles to change gears without having to step on the clutch. However, this does not mean that F1 cars do not have clutches, F1 cars do. The clutch needs to be pressed only when engaging first gear or reverse gear from neutral.

Of course, when the car is started, there is no need to press the clutch to change gears, as long as you gently flick the paddles behind the steering wheel with your hand, you can change gears. However, in order to get used to this type of shifting, you need to get used to it.

However, Tang Feng is very receptive, and it may be the output of drinking the spring water of the raw water spring and the edible space for a long time. Tang Feng is not only very strong, but also extremely sensitive in his mind, and his speed of accepting things is particularly fast.

Mateschitz just explained it once, and Tang Feng basically memorized everything, and as for proficiency, he still needed to run a few laps on the track.

When Mateschitz finished explaining, Tang Feng put on the special helmet for F1 drivers. The helmet is extremely valuable, costing almost £10,000 for a helmet. Because this helmet is definitely a high-tech synthetic. The helmet as a whole is wrapped in 120 layers of high-performance fibers. Each filament is made up of 12,000 microfibre filaments that are only 1/15th the thickness of a human hair. All the filaments on a helmet are about 16,000 kilometers long.

The safety of this helmet is excellent, and Tang Feng once saw a video. It's a test of the sturdiness of a F1 driver's helmet. In that video, a helmet used by an F1 driver was placed on the ground, and the tracks of a tank were pressed over it, and the helmet was not even deformed, and it was intact!

The helmet must pass a mandatory fire test at a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius for 45 seconds, during which time. The temperature inside the helmet does not exceed 70 degrees Celsius. And the 3 mm thick helmet goggles on the helmet are made of fire-resistant polycarbonate to ensure that the rider has a clear line of sight. The shade of color of the goggles can be adjusted on its own in a matter of moments depending on the brightness and darkness of the light.

The goggles are also tested extremely rigorously, generally requiring a projectile to be fired at a speed of 500 km/h, with an impact mark of no more than 2.5 mm in depth.

Although this helmet was not customized according to Tang Feng's head shape, Tang Feng didn't feel so uncomfortable wearing it.

Gently press the clutch under your feet. With a flick of the fingers, the first gear was hung up, and then the clutch was released, and the accelerator was given under the feet, and the RB9, which weighed more than 700 kilograms, started slowly.

Driving this kind of power monster for the first time, Tang Feng didn't dare to start like those racing drivers, after all, he was not familiar with F1 cars and needed a familiar process. When Tang Feng is really familiar with this kind of racing car, Tang Feng can drive this power monster on the track to his heart's content.

Tang Feng drove the car for a short time, and a huge roar sounded behind him, and the next moment, Benjamin's car swept past Tang Feng, and in just a few seconds, it left Tang Feng with a faintly visible rear taillight.

Benjamin is a fan of extreme sports, and he has competed in two Paris-Dakar rallies and played the F3000 before, although he has not achieved any good results, but he is still a professional racing driver.

So now he drives an F1 car, there is no difficulty at all, although he is not as good as the F1 driver with a super driver's license, but he is definitely not a little better than ordinary people.

Tang Feng also wanted to catch up with Benjamin, but this was the first time Tang Feng drove an F1 car, and he was not familiar with all aspects. You know, F1 cars are not like supercars, maybe F1 cars are not as fast as supercars on the straights, but when it comes to cornering agility, F1 cars can throw supercars half a Pacific Ocean away.

Tang Feng tried to add a foot of the accelerator, and the car weighing more than 700 kilograms suddenly burst out with a roar of more than 140 decibels, and the next moment, the car that was still swaying at a speed of 80 or 90 kilometers per hour directly increased the speed to 200 in just two seconds!

In front of it is the No. 2 bay of the Red Bull Circuit, which is a nearly 140-degree sharp angle, and before this sharp corner, there is a nearly one-kilometer-long straight, on which the racer can increase the speed of the car to more than 300, and then when he reaches this sharp corner, he brakes hard and will directly reduce the speed of the car to about 100 corners.

Tang Feng was not familiar with this track, and saw that the sharp angle bend was close in front of him, so he stepped on the brake, and then hit the steering wheel according to his habit.

But Tang Feng forgot that the F1 braking system did not have ABS, so after Tang Feng stepped down, the four tires died directly, and four green smoke were wiped out on the ground, which scared Tang Feng to release the brakes immediately. And the steering system of F1 is not like ordinary sports cars, the steering system of F1 is quite sensitive, although it requires a lot of power, but as long as the steering wheel of the F1 car moves slightly, the front wheels will rotate, and the angle of rotation of the front wheels is almost the same as the angle of rotation of the steering wheel.

So, Tang Feng's operation, the final result was that the car rushed directly out of the track. Fortunately, the perimeter of Turn 2 is spacious enough and there is enough gravel to cushion it, otherwise Tang Feng can't say that the car is wrecked, at least the car can't be saved.

PS: Xiaomo is more unlucky, and the healing of the incision after the operation is not very good. Because the knife is in the armpit, the big guys know that the place is easy to sweat, and as a result, Xiaomo is sad, forming the legendary secondary infection Now I have to go to the hospital every day for ten days to do a whole body anti-inflammatory, these ten days of antibiotics or something, it is estimated that it is more than Xiaomo used in the first half of his life, and the update is not very powerful, the big guys understand. (To be continued.) )
