242 is crazier than anyone
Zhang Yifei saw Dick Se following closely behind his car from the rearview mirror, and he was still a little surprised in his heart.
Because of the starting action just now, Zhang Yifei felt that he had done it perfectly, and basically no other driver could keep up with his movements. As a result, I didn't expect Dixon to be slow, and he still kept up with his wake.
The speed is still climbing, and it has reached the top speed of the Renault car in sixth gear at 260 km/h.
In front of him is the No. 1 Grand Turn of the Manikul Circuit, when he tried to run before, Zhang Yifei passed it at top speed, but because the tire temperature was not enough, the grip was insufficient, and the tires of the whole car almost slipped and ran out of control.
Now the same is the case, the best working temperature required for ultra-soft tires is about 100 °C, and a lap of warm tires is not enough to reach such a high temperature, even if Zhang Yifei has not considered the problem of tire wear.
But Zhang Yifei didn't have any action of loosening the accelerator and stepping on the brakes, and directly turned the corner with full throttle!
He will not give anyone a chance in this race, and will use his strength to prove that he deserves to get the official F1 driver contract!
Zhang Yifei did not release the throttle, and the same is true of the rear car Dixon, the performance of Renault's racing cars is the same, unless it is the opponent's control error, otherwise the speed of the throttle is the same in the end, and it is difficult to surpass the straight.
The only chance to overtake is in the corner, the world is not only Zhang Yifei dares to play with his life, Dixon also dares to play with the full throttle of the corner when he tried to run at the Manikul circuit, he can't allow himself to be thrown off the corner.
Not only Dixon, but even Makina, who is third, also broke out in this stop.
Because of the previous two stops, he only got two points in total, you must know that the Mano team he is in, but a driver who has created miracles like Kimi is considered a "giant" in the junior formula, and Makina's results are undoubtedly unqualified.
He also wanted to prove that he was not a parallel commodity of the Mano team, and he had to be on the podium at this stop, so Makina also changed to super soft tyres before the race and won the honor by pushing the limit!
"OH MY GOD, THE TOP THREE DRIVERS IN THE GRAND BEND DIDN'T CHOOSE TO SLOW DOWN, AND THEY WENT THROUGH THE CORNER WITH FULL THROTTLE! How long has it been since we have seen this kind of scene in a low-level Formula 1 race at the Manikour Circuit, so are today's drivers crazy? ”
That's right, today is a crazier race than anyone, Prost's official driver contract has detonated today's event, and there are too many drivers who want to prove themselves.
Full throttle through the No. 1 Grand Corner, for the current Zhang Yifei is not a challenge, at the beginning of the absence of warm tires, Zhang Yifei with a slightly weaker grip of soft tires, have achieved full throttle past.
Today he used the most grippy supersoft tyres at the moment, and there was no reason for him to make a mistake. And many extreme challenges, Zhang Yifei already had a perfect cornering route, so he rushed over with full throttle in an extremely smooth way.
Dixon, who was in the back car, saw Zhang Yifei turn perfectly at full throttle, and the expression on his face was shocked.
Cornering at full throttle is not a difficult task, especially with super-soft tyres. But it's not a simple matter to be able to get the shortest distance to be perfectly routed. The strength shown by Zhang Yifei today is far beyond the previous qualifying race, didn't this guy use all his strength when he ran the fastest lap?
But now was not the time for Dixon to think, he followed Zhang Yifei's cornering trajectory, using almost the exact same route to make the corner. Makina, who was third, saw the two people in front of him making a smooth corner, and he directly gave up his cornering route and chose to follow closely.
Didn't get rid of it? Zhang Yifei looked at the two cars that followed closely behind him, he was also a little surprised, he just said that he had made a perfect corner with full throttle, and the two people behind him still followed.
Dixon, in particular, is very familiar with eating racing wakes. As long as it is on the straight, Zhang Yifei doesn't want to pull the slightest distance, and he will even be shortened by Dixon.
This is the benefit of receiving advanced vocational training, because the operations of eating wake are more often seen in faster and more aerodynamically designed advanced formula cars, such as F1, F3000 and so on.
Generally, like Renault, the aerodynamic layout is relatively simple, and the riders are of varying levels, and they are rarely exposed to professional training such as wake. It's like Zhang Yifei, who didn't even have the experience of changing tires before, but he still came to the Manikul Circuit and used super soft tires for the first time.
Soon came to Turn 2, where Zhang Yifei followed the pace of his previous test run, but he found that Dixon could still follow behind his car, but Makina was thrown some distance away.
Turn 3, Turn 4...... Soon the track was more than halfway through, Zhang Yifei did not get rid of Dixon, the two sides still bit very tightly, and even on the straight, Dixon also made several overtaking moves.
It's just that Zhang Yifei's defense is also not vegetarian, and he didn't give Dixon any chance to overtake, and the two sides are still fighting at every corner.
Makina, who was third-placed, was finally thrown some distance halfway through the second lap, but was still within the range of catching up. It can be seen that Makina has explosive potential at this stop, or he is crazy about playing with his life, at least he has exerted his absolute strength.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei was a little shocked in his heart at this moment, he didn't underestimate Dixon, after all, Dixon was still very eye-catching in qualifying. But Zhang Yifei is full of confidence in his speed at the Manikul circuit.
You must know that this kind of self-confidence is based on the experience gained from various challenges to the limit in the test run stage and on the verge of losing control. Zhang Yifei didn't dare to say that he was faster than the fastest in the test run, but he definitely didn't slower much, so he couldn't get rid of Dixon, is this guy really that strong?
It can only be said that Zhang Yifei did forget one important thing, that is, the Williams team is a British team, but Frank Williams, the founder, is French.
The training branch of the Williams Driver Development Program is actually located in Marseille, France. Zhang Yifei was only a test run at the Manikul Circuit, but Dixon really took advantage of the winter break and trained on it for a lot of time.
That's why Dixon said that this victory can only be his confidence, and no other driver in the Renault European Cup knows Manicour better than him.
In addition to grabbing the line in an unconventional way and completing a stunning maneuver to open the distance, Zhang Yifei actually didn't throw Dixon far away until the end of the qualifying round.
Now Dixon has no distractions, and his only goal is to defeat Zhang Yifei, and it is really difficult for Zhang Yifei to get rid of him when he has exploded his full potential.
For the next few laps, the two men were caught in a scorching chase while the other drivers were slowly thrown out of the distance, and the previously guarded blockade and crash did not stand a chance.
"Sir Williams, your Dixon is very good."
Ghosn praised at this time, he could see Dixon's performance, but it was much more amazing than the original qualifying, as long as Zhang Yifei made any mistakes, he would definitely be overtaken by him.
When Williams heard Ghosn's praise, he just smiled and didn't answer, because only he knew in his heart that Dixon had a geographical advantage. As a result, he has not completed overtaking until now, and he is still pressed behind the car by Zhang Yifei, which means that he is not better than Zhang Yifei in strength.
Seeing that Williams did not answer, Ghosn thought he was humble and embarrassed to praise his drivers.
So he turned to Prost and asked, "Professor, do you think Fei can become an official driver of the Prost team today?" ”
"With five more laps, if Dixon hasn't overtaken Fly, then there's a good chance he'll make a deal."
"Of course, the premise is that you don't make a mistake in flying, such as rushing off the track or something."
"Oh? How is this five laps calculated, do you know a lot about flying? ”
Ghosn was surprised that Zhang Yifei, as a newcomer to China, even relied on Renault to pay attention to him.
Prost couldn't have been better than Zhang Yifei's performance in the Renault series, how did he come to this conclusion?
"I don't know how to fly, to be precise, it was at the Renault party that I officially paid attention to this Chinese newcomer."
"But I know Kossel, and his patience is only five laps at most."
Cosell? Hearing this name, Ghosn's face was a little dazed, he was still selling tires at Michelin North America in the late 80s, and he didn't pay attention to professional events at all, so naturally he couldn't have known about Kossel.
But Williams felt the name somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.
At this time, he glanced at Prost, and suddenly remembered that there was once an aerodynamics professor and strategist named Cosell in the McLaren team, but later with the transfer of Senna, he also seemed to have quit the F1 team, and there has been no news since then.
"McLaren Racing's Cosell?"
Williams asked uncertainly.
"That's right, it's him."
"Korcel was a fiery and aggressive strategist, and only Senna would have embraced his tactical approach. With his character, it would be difficult to have a third option either to let Fei get rid of Dixon or to rush off the track on his own. ”
"Now flying is almost the limit speed of the track, and Korsell still lets him drive fast, aren't you really afraid to rush off the track?"
Williams is still familiar with the Manicour circuit, and now Zhang Yifei's speed is basically a junior formula driver, with the top speed of Renault's racing car.
If it is faster, the risk will increase exponentially, and now Zhang Yifei is still in the lead, and there is no need to risk it in order to get rid of it. To be honest, Zhang Yifei maintained this speed, coupled with this experienced defensive operation, it was still difficult for Dixon to find a chance to surpass.
Mistakes are not only happening to Zhang Yifei, but Dixon's crazy pursuit wants to surpass, and the risk is greater in a sense. As long as it stabilizes and consumes, Zhang Yifei's winning chance is actually greater than Dixon's.
"Korcel is not afraid to fly off the track, you can see it soon, but from what I know, he should not be afraid."
A helpless smile appeared on Prost's face, if he didn't take the risk, then he wouldn't be Korcel.
