Zhang Yifei's operation, not to mention that Barrichello didn't understand it, even the professional crew members in the pit station watched this scene dumbfounded.

Even if this is a rookie, he will not make a similar reckless overtaking, no matter how anxious Zhang Yifei is, he will not use this suicidal overtaking method, right?

But then, a scene that made their jaws drop even more shocked appeared, Zhang Yifei did not directly hit the protective wall of the curve as expected. When facing the No. 9 right-angle corner, he directly stepped on the brakes and died!

That's right, it's a big taboo on the F1 track, a heavy brake to lock the tires!

This can be very severe on the tire, and if you are unlucky, it may wear through the rubber layer directly, resulting in a puncture.

But Zhang Yifei's speed, even if he stepped on the tires to death, he couldn't do the cornering, at most, when he hit the protective wall, the danger level could be reduced, at least his life was not very likely.

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Yifei would be in the GAMEOVER at Turn 9 in this race, Zhang Yifei hit the steering wheel urgently, and the whole car slid sideways and turned sideways.

Ninety degree right-angle bend, what is the effect of hitting horizontally in the corner, the answer is to straighten with another straight line!

There was no expected understeer hitting the wall, and there was no unstoppable hitting the wall, Zhang Yifei slid sideways through the corner in a way that no one could imagine.

Or to put it another way, drift over a corner!

"Drift! What a fucking stupid look, can you still have drifting corners on the F1 track? ”

"Zhang Yifei, is he still a person? Actually able to drift through the corner successfully in this situation. ”

"Is it luck or skill?"

"Fei is too strong, no wonder the Chinese call him Che Shen Fei, I can't imagine that according to this trend, Schumacher can still stop him today."

"Forever miracle boy, the existence of flying is to tell us that there is nothing that cannot be done, only imagination!"

The audience on the track, whether Zhang Yifei supporters, neutrals or opponents, all felt stupid in the face of this amazing drifting cornering scene.

In most people's preconceived notions, only street or rally races will have drifting corners, while track races or formula cars, drifting corners cannot exist.

Especially in equations, once there is a drift, it means out of control!

Not to mention the spectators on the track, even the well-informed members of the Ferrari crew looked at each other for a full second.

"Was it luck or an accident?"

Jean Todd asked.

He has not never seen the scene of drifting on the formula track, but in most cases, the drift is too fast and skidding to rush off the track, and the drivers rely on the ultimate control technology to save the car, so there is an unexpected drift scene.

Zhang Yifei's scene is very similar to skidding in a car that is too fast, but the problem is that when other drivers appear in this kind of scene, the speed of the car is on the verge of losing control.

And the Chinese kid is not an edge problem, close to 200km/h cornering speed, it is clear that it will be out of control!

Since it is destined to be a runaway scene, it can't be described as an accident, so it's luck?

"Accidents are definitely not, and luck I don't feel either, it's more like a well-planned show."

Ferrari's technical director, Ross Brown, replied, even if it had been ten or so seconds, and the look of surprise on his face had not yet dissipated.

Chinese drivers fly and will never gamble their luck in this way without any certainty.

The word "bet" itself represents the possibility of winning, and if the probability of winning is not calculated, no one will bet on the outcome of losing.

What everyone on the track doesn't understand now is how Zhang Yifei chose this way of gambling, and how can he guarantee that he has the possibility of winning?

"That's right, it's a well-planned gamble."

Ferrari's new race director, De Monnecali, who has always been relatively silent, finally spoke.

"What's that hole card for flying?"

Jean Todd immediately asked rhetorically, he was too curious.

"Water!"

"Water?"

Hearing this word, Jean Todd was subconsciously stunned for a moment, but he reacted instantly.

Not only him, but also the team strategy team understood this keyword when they got it. After all, it is the number one Ferrari team of the Big Three, and the experience and strength should never be underestimated.

Just as De Monnecali guessed, Zhang Yifei dared to gamble like this just now, and his capital was the accumulation of water on the track!

Standing water can easily cause cars to slip, which is a basic common sense in the Formula 1 paddock.

Skidding means that the grip of the car decreases, which means that when drifting and cornering, the wear and tear on the tires can be minimized, and it also gives Zhang Yifei the capital of this shocking gamble!

In fact, F1 cars are not incapable of drifting, as long as the rear-wheel drive car has enough horsepower, it can drift. In many F1 highlight videos in later generations, there have been pictures of drivers drifting on the spot, but that is just a form of entertainment.

Zhang Yifei's drift skills are beyond doubt, whether it is in this life or in his previous life, he was influenced by the initial D", he can almost be said to have played drift out of the flower.

It's just that Zhang Yifei has never tried to use an F1 car to complete drifting corners, which is too harsh for the track conditions and extremely risky. If under normal circumstances, the driver wants to drift through the corner, it is really called not doing and not dying.

Including the warm-up lap, the No. 9 bend of the track has been flown seven times, and he has long been aware of the water in the corner. It's just that I couldn't avoid it before, let alone take the initiative to drive it.

But the situation on the track has made Zhang Yifei have no time to hesitate, at the beginning of the season, he had expected that in the new season, he would become the main focus of many teams, after all, the strength has been shown.

If you want others to use the mentality of a Chinese rookie to fight, it is absolutely impossible.

It's just that after the start of the race, the pressure he faced was still a bit beyond Zhang Yifei's expectations, he didn't expect that he would be targeted like a public enemy on the track.

There is no need to look at the situation behind him, Zhang Yifei knows that Alonso will not last long, although the head brother has already shown some of the strength of his future world champion, but in the face of two top Williams drivers, he is not enough to see at the moment.

So Zhang Yifei can only choose this way to gamble, after all, from the bottom of his bones, Zhang Yifei identifies himself as a "gambler"!

Fortunately, this bet was successful, and the stagnant water made Zhang Yifei drift successfully, and the tire wear was also within the acceptable range.

In fact, Barrichello just now, there is a chance to turn the tables at the end, after all, for F1 cars, how to drift is not as fast as tangential corners, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

It can only be said that his infantry is too dangerous, and it is estimated that Barrichello was stupid at that time, and he didn't react to the limit at the first time.

Indeed, just as Zhang Yifei guessed, Barrichello in the back car at this moment still had an unbelievable expression on his face, he never imagined that he would be overtaken by Zhang Yifei in this way!

But none of that matters, when Zhang Yifei succeeds in overtaking, Barrichello will not be given any more chance, and he will once again face the real heart of the Scuderia Ferrari - Michael Schumacher!

On the eighth lap of the race, Schumacher was in the process of fighting with Helio at the moment, and he got the F2002 car, and he was the god who controlled all beings on the track in history, and no one was the opponent of Schumacher at the peak.

Now history has changed, and there are a few more drivers in the paddock who have challenged this peak racing god, but Schumacher's strength is still there, and his offensive is definitely at the top of Tarzan!

Helio was under tremendous pressure at the moment, and he relied on the characteristics of the six-speed gearbox and the advantage of super soft tires to start to overtake Schumacher. and used the collision of the corners to knock Zhang Yifei behind, making him the biggest beneficiary of the first lap.

But as Zhang flies to the back, Helio will face Schumacher's attack, once on the Indianapolis circuit, he experienced Schumacher's impenetrable defense, and the three Indian's world champions were simply blocked by Schumacher alone.

Now, at this moment, Helio finally experienced what it means to attack like a storm.

The title of the first person in formula racing and the only active driver to win the quadruple crown, Schumacher really didn't have a reputation for nothing.

However, at this time, Helio suddenly felt that Schumacher's offensive had been suspended, and this change made him feel a little strange. Theoretically, with Barrichello blocking the car, Schumacher has no worries and will not give himself any respite.

With this question in mind, Helio glanced in the rearview mirror, which was still the fiery Ferrari. But within the narrow view of the rearview mirror, Helio also spotted a race car, not another fiery Ferrari, but a blue and red Prost!

There were two Prost cars on the track, and Helio couldn't read the number on the front of the car, but he knew in his heart who the car was driving.

Barrichello was overtaken? So fast?

This question came to Helio's mind, and although he was arrogant, he was not even aware of his opponent.

Barrichello's offensive ability is insufficient, and he rarely runs the fastest lap and pole position on the track, but his defensive ability, as a result, is the top level among F1 drivers, and no one in the entire F1 paddock dares to say that his defense must be better than Barrichello, and he is a real defensive master.

It only took 7 laps for the Chinese to overtake Barrichello, and it was a night street race?

At this moment, Helio felt an incomparable sense of threat in his heart, he never thought that Zhang Yifei would come back so quickly!
