“OH MY GOD! Fly is in the process of widening the gap with the opponent has a puncture, which is a fatal blow for many drivers, I don't know how Fei and Prost team will deal with this situation. ”

Blundell immediately paid attention to Zhang Yifei's flat tire on the broadcast screen. But then again, under the lighting of the night battle, it was a bit difficult not to notice when you suddenly saw a racing car sparkling everywhere.

"It's really a pity, Zhang Yifei originally had the possibility of being on the podium, and now even whether he can finish the race will become a suspense."

Leo next to him said with a pretended regretful expression, but the expression on his face was with a smile of schadenfreude.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Blundell, there is a thing called fate in Eastern culture, maybe Zhang Yifei, a Chinese kid, doesn't have a champion life."

"Really? It turns out that you also know about oriental culture. ”

Blundell replied to Leo with a smile on his face, but his tone was full of sarcasm.

"Of course I know, I'm ......"

When Leo said this, he suddenly stopped and didn't continue, he glanced at Blundell with some dissatisfaction, this disgusting British guy, he really likes yin and yang weirdness when he talks!

In the stands and seats, Zhang Yifei's supporters felt what it means to be "happy and sad" at the moment. They thought that Zhang Yifei had regained his position, and then they waited to see when he would stand on the top podium, but they didn't expect a flat tire.

"It's over! Prost car has a flat tire, what should I do now? Che Shenfei won't retire, right? ”

"Don't, I'm still looking forward to seeing Zhang Yifei win the opening championship!"

"That's right, only by winning this opening race can these banana people understand what a real Chinese driver is!"

"I don't believe Zhang Yifei will give up, he will definitely have a way to deal with it!"

"Fei is a tenacious driver, even if I am French, I have to admit that he has a fighting spirit."

"Never give up! Come on! ”

"Come on, Zhang Yifei~~!"

There was no disappointment, no fear, and there was an overwhelming cheering sound on the track, because they believed that Zhang Yifei, who had created countless miracles on the track, would never fall in the leading position!

Zhang Yifei on Prost Racing suddenly faced the situation of a tire burst on the rear wheel, and was a little stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that such an accident would happen when he was far ahead.

This accident could cost you the lead and even bury the entire Singapore Grand Prix!

You must know that F1 tires are not like ordinary family cars, even if they are punctured, as long as you don't feel sorry for the tires and wheels, you can drive more than ten kilometers.

However, once the F1 car has a flat tire, under the high-speed driving state, in just a few seconds, the tire will be like rags, and it will be torn into pieces in an instant, and the remaining pieces of rubber will hang on the wheel, and there is no way to play the role of the tire at all.

One less tyre would have left the car unbalanced, but with the sudden tilt of the puncture being straightened, the wheels would no longer be able to rub against the ground, while the lower chassis would easily rub the ground and cause sparks to fly.

In this case, whether you can continue to race depends mainly on the driver's skill rather than the driver's luck!

To be precise, it's to see how far away you are from the pit!

In the Prost pit pit, everyone who was originally full of victorious smiles on their faces saw the sparks on the screen, and they directly froze their smiles on their faces. They never thought that it would be Zhang Yifei who had a flat tire on the track.

"Why do you get a flat tire? The tire temperature is not high on rainy days! Charlie! Charlie! Prepare for the pit stop! ”

Prost instantly yelled at the maintenance technician team, whether he can complete the stop and change the tire as soon as possible at this time will determine the fate of Zhang Yifei's Singapore opener.

At the same time, Cosell was relatively calm, and he immediately pressed the red call button on the headset with his finger.

"Fly, stabilize the car, now less than five hundred meters from the entrance of the pit lane, stop ahead of time to change the tire."

"Five hundred meters?"

"That's right, the car has to be balanced and not over-worn!"

When he heard the number of 500 meters, Zhang Yifei jumped violently in his heart. Then when he heard Korcel say that he wanted to ensure the balance of the car and not wear out the wooden bars of the chassis, his heart instantly sank to the bottom, which was simply an impossible task.

500 meters is not a long distance, but it is equivalent to one-tenth of the entire track. To drive a tenth of a lap in a flat-tired F1 car, and to ensure that the wooden bars of the ground are not worn, requires a skill that is incomprehensible to the average person.

Because in theory, a four-wheeled car can be driven on three wheels, and even at the extreme, two tires on the same side are not required, and a four-wheeled car can be guaranteed to drive on two wheels, just like playing acrobatics and walking on a unilateral bridge.

But the problem is that it's not acrobatics, it's on the Formula 1 track! And the chassis of the formula car is much lower than that of ordinary family cars, which is almost the same as sticking to the ground, which means that Zhang Yifei must ensure that the absolute balance of the four wheels is close to during driving, so as to prevent the chassis from touching the ground and wearing.

This situation reminded Zhang Yifei of the "flat door" on the Silverstone circuit in England in 13 years, when five consecutive drivers on the track had punctures, including top superstars such as Hamilton and Alonso.

But there is one driver who continues to race tenaciously with extremely superb skills after a puncture, and this person is the "Finnish Iceman" - Kimi Raikkonen.

At that time, Kimi Raikkonen burst a tire on the rear wheel during acceleration, and the whole car completely lost control and made a 180-degree U-turn, rushing into the buffer zone of the track.

Many people thought that Kimi Raikkonen would give up the race in the face of this situation, but he stepped on the accelerator, completed an extremely beautiful "tail flick" with three tires, turned his car as fast as he could, and then drove onto the track, and the speed was amazing.

Although the final result dropped from second to fifth, Kimi Raikkonen still moved into the points and maintained his F1 drivers' record of 25 consecutive races in the points.

So in theory, the three F1 tires are not impossible to drive, and they can even drive very fast! And the one who decides it all is the driver sitting on the car!

At a distance of 500 meters, I Zhang Yifei can control this Prost car to make a pit stop, and I will never give up!

Without too much hesitation, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator, used his speed to keep the car balanced, and sprinted forward as if there was no puncture.

If it weren't for the rear wheel of the Prost car, the shiny metallic wheel, no one would have doubted that this was a formula car with only three tires!

"Well done, we still have an advantage!"

The voice of Kossel continued to be heard in the headphones, and for the character of the old German man, he rarely said anything during the race that had nothing to do with the team's strategy and tactical approach.

But this time Korcel knows very well how much pressure Zhang Yifei, who has worked hard to regain the pole position, will have in the face of such a sudden situation on the track.

This is beyond the psychological defenses of a young driver, and even a veteran on the track cannot guarantee that there will be no imbalance in the mentality in this situation.

Not to mention Zhang Yifei at this moment, he still has to maintain absolute calmness and operation, so that this Prost car with only three tires left will speed on the track in Singapore. If Zhang Yifei makes any mistakes, then the last chance to save will be buried by himself.

"Of course there is an advantage, I'm the pole position!"

Zhang Yifei's voice was broadcast over the radio and transmitted to the ears of every member of the Prost crew.

When hearing this confident announcement, many people even have a feeling of sour nose. They have never underestimated Zhang Yifei and regard him as the hope and future of the team.

But only in the face of this real challenge can we thoroughly feel Zhang Yifei's tenacity and strong heart.

Prost never say never!

And Zhang Yifei on the car is actually not as powerful as the crew members imagined. After he said this, he took a few breaths very hard to stabilize his rising blood pressure and his heart that was beating wildly at the moment!

Thanks to the high speed, it is theoretically possible to ensure the balance of the car, but the problem is that the downforce of the Pneumatic Kit of the F1 car is too much. The faster the speed, the more air downforce there may be several times the weight of the car, which is pressed on the body.

In this way, the position of one less tire will sink involuntarily, which requires Zhang Yifei's continuous fine-tuning control.

If Zhang Yifei can still be controlled on the straight line, then when cornering, the "tricycle" really feels a bit old. Zhang Yifei can be said to have brought his control and feel of the car to the limit, so that the AP05 car does not tilt in the corner.

But even so, the speed of the three-wheel formula car can never be compared with the four-wheel, and the rear car Schumacher took advantage of this opportunity to quickly close the distance with Zhang Yifei.

The 500-meter race used to be a fleeting distance for Zhang Yifei, but now it is like a moat for him.

When there were only the last 100 meters left, the red Ferrari car finally appeared in Zhang Yifei's rearview mirror, and Schumacher finally caught up.

However, at this time, Schumacher did not have much joy in his heart, because he never thought that it would take so long for him to chase a driver with a flat tire on the track!

It was only at this moment that he caught up with Zhang Yifei, which was not a victory for Schumacher, but a shock. At the same time, in Schumacher's heart, he vaguely admires the Chinese boy in front of him, and if he encounters an unexpected situation similar to him, Schumacher can't guarantee that he can do better than the other party.

In fact, this cannot be guaranteed is already obvious, and the real answer in Schumacher's heart is that there is a high probability that Zhang Yifei will not be able to do it now!

But whether it is shocking or admiring, there is no mercy on the track. The moment he catches up with Zhang Yifei, it means that Schumacher wants to take advantage of his illness and kill him, this is the best opportunity to overtake!

As expected, Schumacher launched an offensive against Zhang Yifei, and if nothing else, he would easily overtake the Chinese kid and then take the lead position. Let the fiery red Ferrari car once again become the brightest superstar on the track.

But the world is unpredictable, many times there are accidents, everyone thinks that Zhang Yifei, who is driving a "tricycle", is difficult to protect himself, and he will definitely not make any actions to resist.

But just Zhang Yifei did it, and when Schumacher wanted to overtake, the red and blue Prost car, with a difficult lane change, blocked the route he wanted to overtake, defending the glory of his pole position!

"Aren't you going to give up?"

Schumacher couldn't help but murmur in his mouth, the average driver when a tire burst, faced with such a long pit stop, maybe just give up.

Even if many people are unwilling, they don't have this technology, and in the narrow track environment of street racing, they drive into the pit to change tires and continue to race.

Zhang Yifei not only didn't give up, but also didn't even want to give up the position of his head car, he really didn't realize that he was driving a formula car with one less tire now?

Schumacher admired Zhang Yifei's tenacity at this moment, but he would not be soft in the slightest, and immediately changed lanes quickly, ready to overtake from another direction. With the current stability of Prost racing cars, it is impossible to quickly change lanes and block cars.

However, at this time, Zhang Yifei's Prost car also changed lanes closely, and even because of the sudden line change, the racing chassis also rubbed to the ground, grinding out a string of jumping sparks.

These beating sparks were reflected in the eyes of everyone on the track, and everyone felt a shock in their hearts, they didn't expect that at this moment, Zhang Yifei still chose a tenacious block.

Is it stubborn showmanship or never-say-die rider spirit? Could it be that Schumacher couldn't really overtake until he flew into the pit lane?

"Didn't Zhang Yifei give up like this? He is still defending his pole position glory. ”

"I never thought one person could be so good at driving, it's a fucking tire missing!"

"What is called driving skills, I understand at this moment."

"Zhang Yifei, you have proved the strength and tenacity of Chinese drivers, enough!"

"Fei really showed the driver's spirit and desire to win to the extreme!"

"That's right, Fei is a real driver."

There were all kinds of discussions and cheers on the track, even those spectators who had stood opposite Zhang Yifei were impressed by this scene at this moment.
