284 Don't underestimate me

The race continued, and when it came to lap 19, Zhang Yifei finally caught up with Dixon and ate the wake of his car, no longer looking at the taillights from afar.

"Yifei-kun, it's really beautiful!"

Yamamoto Youkyo said this in a trembling tone, after all, under this gap, in the face of Dixon's super-level performance, Zhang Yifei can still eat the wake stubbornly, which can only be described as a super-god play.

But the expression on Cosell's face was very serious, and there was no doubt that Zhang Yifei ran very well.

However, there are only three laps left in the race, and whether it is Korsell or Zhang Yifei himself, there is only one goal, that is, the championship.

Being able to catch up with Dixon is already Zhang Yifei's super god performance, and Dixon's strength is not weak, and it is a very difficult thing to surpass him in the last three laps.

To be honest, at this moment, Corpor has no confidence in whether Zhang Yifei can surpass Dixon in the last three laps.

On the track, Dixon saw Zhang Yifei's racing car in the rearview mirror, and he had bitten himself, and the number 13 on the front of the car was clearly visible.

At this moment, Dixon felt that Zhang Yifei was simply the speed of death, completely shattering his psychological expectations. He never thought that under his lap speed, Zhang Yifei would tie the lead!

It can be said that at this moment, Dixon has complete absolute confidence in his heart, and he does not have the idea of being unwilling to admit that Zhang Yifei is strong.

But that doesn't mean Dixon is willing to throw in the towel, he still holds the lead and has the courage to think he's going to be the champion.

Dixon and Zhang Yifei had a final duel before, which ended with Zhang Yifei getting rid of Dixon in the final stage.

Since Zhang Yifei was able to get rid of himself at the beginning, why can't I Dixon get rid of Zhang Yifei in the final stage today?

It was with this idea and mentality that Dixon chose to defend strongly and did not give Zhang Yifei any chance to overtake. And constantly looking for opportunities, planning to use an extreme way to turn the corner, to completely get rid of Zhang Yifei, so that this Chinese kid can also taste the taste of being thrown off!

In the face of Dixon's defense, Zhang Yifei also launched an attack frantically, constantly changing lanes left and right to find opportunities.

Because he also knew in his heart that there was not much time left in the game, and if there was no way to surpass Dixon in this final time, then his previous efforts would be in vain.

After all, being 0.1 seconds behind Dixon is no different from being 1 second behind him, just finishing second.

And once Dixon defeats himself, then he will be more confident in erecting, and then there will be a situation on the track, and the scene of defending the championship will no longer be exclusive to Zhang Yifei!

It's like Schumacher's five consecutive championships, is it true that in five years, there hasn't been any F1 driver who can be called Schumacher's opponent?

The answer is actually no, the difference in strength between F1 drivers is really not so big, to the point that it is not at the same level at all.

There are more deep-seated reasons for this, and it is estimated that the absolute confidence and momentum brought by the consecutive championships are the same!

In fact, Zhang Yifei also has this kind of momentum, not only himself, but also many of the viewers and fans on the track have no doubt that Zhang Yifei can defeat all opponents. Even when he is far behind Dixon, many people still firmly believe that Zhang Yifei can catch up, which is the momentum and confidence of the king.

It is with this momentum of winning streak that Zhang Yifei was not angry and flustered at all when he was 2 seconds behind, he always believed that he could catch up and defeat Dixon!

Now in fact, Zhang Yifei is full of offensive desire and intends to "kill Dixon". It's just that Dixon also fought hard at this time, very tough to prevent Zhang Yifei from overtaking, and even risked a crash.

Dixon is tough, he's not afraid of crashes. But for Zhang Yifei, the loss from the crash was too great, and he couldn't accept the result of zero points.

A zero score means that his ambition to lock in the Drivers' Championship in advance is completely broken, and if he wants to win this title, he will have to run honestly in the next few races.

Zhang Yifei is not a conformist person, he has a higher stage to show himself, and he does not want to continue to "peck at each other" on the Renault track. So he launched a more fierce attack, as long as there was a slight chance to overtake, Zhang Yifei would hit the accelerator with one foot.

In this way, Zhang Yifei came to the 20th lap with Dixon in his mouth, and there were less than two laps left before the end of the race.

His all-round pressing and attacking actually put a lot of pressure on Dixon, basically there is no line to speak of when cornering, purely defending for the sake of defense.

You must know that Dixon's original idea was to use his own operation, just like Zhang Yifei at the beginning, to leave his opponent behind with an earth-shattering corner, and show his absolute strength to win the championship title.

But soon Dixon found that his idea was unrealistic, because Zhang Yifei's speed was too fast, let alone trying to find a way to get rid of him, and now even the defense is extremely difficult.

At this moment, Dixon's heart was a little admired for Zhang Yifei's defense of himself, and he really didn't know how this Chinese kid managed to do it without leakage.

Another lap passed, and the race lap reached lap 21, with the final lap left until the end of the race, and the black and white checkered flag symbolizing the end of the race appeared on the track at any time.

"What should I do, I'm running out of time, can Fei Ge go over!"

Ah Hu in the pit station was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and seeing Zhang Yifei catch up with him before was almost like winning the championship. As a result, I didn't expect Dixon's defense to be so resolute, and Zhang Yifei still couldn't surpass it after two laps.

Hearing Ah Hu's words, Yamamoto Youkyo couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, and said to Koser: "Mentor, if you have any good strategy, give instructions to Yifeijun at this time, the game is about to end." ”

Yakyo Yamamoto has put his hopes on Kossel, his mentor is a member of the McLaren championship team, and he must have seen this kind of scenario countless times, and he must have a good way to do it.

But to the disappointment of Yamamoto Ukyo, Korsell shook his head and replied: "Fei has already run out of his top speed, and the previous cornering route is also impeccable, and the rest are some extreme ways with a success rate of no more than 50%, so whether he can surpass Dixon or not, can only depend on himself." ”

What Korcel said is very realistic, that is, Zhang Yifei has run to his limit, you must know that the track record is 0.5 seconds, which is not an ordinary number. In this case, what other instructions can be issued to let Zhang Yifei be promoted?

Track instructions are just a bystander gesture to discover some details that the drivers themselves have overlooked.

If the driver himself does not have any major detail problems, no track instructions will work, after all, Cowel is not a fairy, just say a few words can make Zhang Yifei faster and easily surpass Dixon.

Even if there is a way to surpass Dixon, Korsell does not plan to use it, because the success rate is too low. The second place still has points, if he rushes out of the track, Zhang Yifei has no hope of locking the championship in advance, he doesn't have so much time to participate in junior formula racing!

So now no one can help Zhang Yifei win the championship, he only relies on himself!

Indeed, at this time, Zhang Yifei didn't want to rely on Cowsell to give any instructions to surpass Dixon and win the championship.

He just ran at his own pace, while constantly probing and probing Dixon to see if he could spot his defensive holes.

In the first lap, Dixon had no loopholes, or he had loopholes, but Zhang Yifei didn't find them. After all, under this kind of tense duel, it is good to be able to accurately control your car, and some details and mistakes are not so easy to find.

But on the second lap, Zhang Yifei finally discovered a problem with Dixon, that is, when crossing the Woodcote corner of the track, Dixon would always subconsciously slow down, and even almost caused Zhang Yifei to chase the rear.

This Woodcote bend is a corner with a story on the Silverstone Circuit. Back in 1973, Judy Schuccht skidded because it was too muddy, causing eight cars to collide in a row.

It was precisely because of this accident that Silverstone made a major change to the Woodcote corner, adding a speed reduction corner to prevent the car from skidding at high speed.

However, this did not completely change the slippery nature of the Woodcote Circuit, and in the 90s, Silverstone reshaped the Woodcote Curve in the 91st, 94th, 96th, and 97th years.

Arguably the most volatile corner on the course is this Woodcote corner.

Zhang Yifei doesn't know if it's because Dixon understands the history of this corner and is afraid of rushing off the track, so he subconsciously slows down and brakes, or if he has some other reason.

Anyway, this kind of move made Zhang Yifei see the hope of overtaking, and others were afraid of skidding and rushing out, but in this case, Zhang Yifei was fearless. If you want to win the championship, you can't take any risks at all.

So when lap 21 came to the Woodcote corner, Dixon subconsciously slowed down to avoid slipping too fast.

But Zhang Yifei did not slow down, but kicked the accelerator down to accelerate, directly changed lanes and side by side with Dixon, and entered the Woodcote corner at a faster speed, and had the action of seizing Dixon's cornering route.

In the face of Zhang Yifei's overtaking, Dixon's reaction was faster than Kubica, and he immediately made up for it with one foot on the accelerator, taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Yifei had not completely completed the overtaking, and stuck the front of the car in the direction where Zhang Yifei was going to change lanes, not giving him any chance to seize the cornering route.

However, this time Dixon was wrong, Zhang Yifei did not intend to seize his corner route at all, but rushed directly into the chicane, and then rode onto the shoulder to cut through the Woodcote corner.

The whole process of maneuvering and changing lanes can be said to be done in one go, and before Dixon could react to what was happening, Zhang Yifei had already completed overtaking.

Even the spectators and commentators on the track did not expect Zhang Yifei to be so aggressive at the Woodcote corner, and to overtake so decisively and quickly.

Looking at Dixon, who was getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, the corners of Zhang Yifei's mouth showed a trace of disdain, is it worth me to seize the tangent line that slows down and corners, you are underestimating me too much!
