"It's raining?"

Prost, who was standing in the pit, did not immediately notice the strange sky like the drivers in the open air.

It was only when he saw the slippery water droplets on the broadcast footage that Prost realized that there was a drizzle floating over the East China Sea.

"Well, it's raining, adding a touch of suspense to the finale."

Henry, the team leader, nodded when he heard this, and his tone didn't change much.

In fact, the team has long been prepared for the rain plan, but under the one-stop tactic, there is not much that can be changed.

The Tokai Circuit has a total of 58 laps, and only 25 laps have been completed, which means that there are 33 laps left. If you pit now for rain tires, then you have to rely on this set of rain tires to run all the laps left, which is obviously impossible with the tire formula.

Therefore, before reaching the minimum number of pit stops for the one-stop tactic, Zhang Yifei could only hold on and maintain the original tactical plan.

"I hope the rain doesn't get heavier, so that the variables can be minimized."

Yamamoto Ukyo next to him also muttered, five or six laps of time is not short, but it is not long, it is about ten minutes.

Now that the sky is just drizzling, it will take a while to make the dry track wet and slippery. As long as the rain doesn't get heavier, at this level, there should be a smooth transition to a pit stop for tyres.

The crew members were not too nervous about the weather changes, after all, Zhang Yifei had already proven himself in the rain battle. There is another point that everyone has not said, that is, like Zhang Yifei's thoughts, Schumacher is also a soft-tire one-stop tactic.

If Zhang Yifei can't hold on, Schumacher will definitely not be able to hold on, and the situation is still in a state of equilibrium.

However, many times, it is not as good as the sky, and after only one lap, the drizzle in the sky turns into small raindrops visible to the naked eye, and the dry track is completely wet and turns dark, and it is time to test the drainage of the newly built track in the East China Sea.

And as the number of laps increased, the grip of the soft tyres dropped to a very high level by the end, and even the dry tracks had to slow down. Now that the road surface is gradually becoming slippery, it will be more difficult to handle.

To put it simply, it was possible to pass the No. 1 combination turn of the Tokai Circuit with a full curve of braking without the need to apply the brakes, and just by using the control of the accelerator pedal.

Now, when Zhang Yifei and Schumacher and other front-row drivers come to the No. 1 combination turn again, they have begun to use the brakes to control the speed for the sake of safety, and they can clearly feel the slowdown in cornering.

The expression on the face of the Prost crew, who was still very calm before, gradually began to be solemn, but the members of the strategy team still did not give any team orders, they were competing with the Ferrari crew for patience, Schumacher did not move, Zhang Yifei did not move!

On the other side of the Scuderia Ferrari pits, Ross Brown watched the rain get heavier and heavier, and asked Jean Todd beside him.

"BOSS, do you want to consider Shumi making a pit stop early to change tires, if this trend continues, soon the tires will not be able to grasp the ground."

"No, you have to make sure to make a pit stop at the same time as the Chinese kid!"

Jean Todd did not hesitate to reject Ross Brown's suggestion, because of the situation on the track, Schumacher was in a weak state, able to bite Zhang Yifei and attack from time to time, relying on the car wake.

Once he pits early and gets out of the wake zone, Schumacher will be thrown off directly, and that's when the real crisis comes.

"But before Shumi launched an overtaking offensive, his tyre wear was more serious than flying, and his grip dropped even more, and once there was water on the track, I was worried that it would get out of control."

"Chinese boys can control steadily, Shumi can't do it? Do you believe in Shumi? ”

Jean Todd looked at Ross Brown with a sharp gaze at this time, he didn't want to listen to these rational things, in fact, Schumacher had no way out!

Looking at Jean Todd's eyes, Rose Brown swallowed back the words that came to his lips silently, he had not seen Jean Todd in this state for many years, even in the battle for the championship with the most powerful Finnish driver Mika Hakkinen, the Ferrari boss had never lost his temper.

Maybe the pressure on the track now has surpassed that of Mika Hakkinen.

The Prost strategy team and the Ferrari strategy team are competing for their own patience, and Zhang Yifei and Schumacher, the two drivers, also control the car in the duel rain battle.

Schumacher's rain battle may not be as famous as Senna in the rain, but in fact, Schumacher's rain victory rate is very high, and even won him the title of "rain god" for a time.

However, unless you can crush Senna, even if you reach the same height as Senna, it is impossible for the follow-up drivers to surpass the Trail Blazers in the rain battle, not to mention that Schumacher may not be stronger than Senna in the rain battle.

In the face of more and more slippery tracks, Schumacher still showed his strength in the rain, and under the premise that the tires were more seriously worn than Zhang Yifei, he still used extreme car control to follow Zhang Yifei, and was not thrown off because of the change in weather.

Of course, all Schumacher can do at this moment is to keep up, and he can't even launch the most basic offensive, completely losing the threat to Zhang Yifei.

"It seems that the flying crisis has been completely lifted, Schumacher has stopped all overtaking attacks, and the situation will remain in place for the next few laps until the pit stop is replaced with rain tyres, which will be rekindled."

Blundell opened his mouth to explain that at present, the tires of the parkers are more seriously worn, the grip has long passed the peak, and there is a risk of losing control at any time in the face of the wet track in the rain.

So the drivers started to be conservative, and even the lead Zhang Yifei slowed down and applied the brakes in Turn 1.

Not to mention Schumacher, he can bite Zhang Yifei, which is already the current speed limit, and he has no ability to threaten Zhang Yifei anymore.

Of course, Blundell will not say these things directly in front of the global live broadcast, because this is a kind of demeaning and clever event commentary for Schumacher, and he will not put himself in the hostile position of the fans.

"Well, according to the current risk of overtaking due tire wear, the situation is temporarily calmed down."

Li Bing opened his mouth to echo, and he also knew that with the current situation on the track, it was unlikely that there would be another fierce grappling scene.

And Li Bing also did not say that Schumacher was unable to attack, cleverness is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is the traditional modesty of the Chinese, don't talk too much, so as not to be slapped in the face.

But at this time, the moment of "slap in the face" still came, and a driver on the track was not willing to be lonely, using badly worn soft tires to start picking up speed on the slippery road.

This person is not Schumacher, but Zhang Yifei, who has the advantage of the first car in itself!

"Zhang Yifei accelerated! Zhang Yifei chose to accelerate in this sudden rain and slippery racing road conditions, what did he want to do to get rid of Schumacher in one fell swoop? ”

Li Bing began to excitedly use the fastest speed to explain the sudden changes on the track.

Everyone, including the commentary, thought that this was going to be a lull and the drivers would wait conservatively for the number of pit laps to come.

But there was one driver who didn't, and it's still the most risk-taking car on the track!

Under the premise of the final battle, championship battle, etc., does Zhang Yifei still insist on carrying out his radicalism to the end?

That's right, Zhang Yifei is planning to carry out his radicalism to the end!

When he saw in the rearview mirror that Schumacher was unable to launch another offensive, he did not hesitate to make this decision.

Schumacher, I was pressed by you and Barrichello for almost twenty laps, and now it's finally your turn to attack again?

I'm sorry then, now it's time for me to fight back!

A foot of floor oil began to accelerate, and the sudden burst of torque made the tires of the Prost car slip in an instant.

But this AP05 racing car is still rigidly controlled in the hands of Zhang Yifei, and it began to conquer one corner after another in the rain battle of the East China Sea Circuit at a wind-like speed.

In less than 30 seconds, Zhang Yifei threw Schumacher out of the wake area, but he did not slow down, and he was still speeding in this rainy day, using manpower to fight against the limits of mechanical control!

"Crazy? Fei Zhen thinks he can control an F1 car that is on the verge of losing control at any time in the rain? ”

Prost saw this kind of picture in the pit pit, and couldn't help but roar.

If Zhang Yifei took these unnecessary risks in order to seize the opportunity to get rid of Schumacher, Prost could still bear it.

So now that he has thrown Schumacher out of the wake zone, he is still accelerating so wildly, what is he doing, just to show his extreme control of the car on a rainy day?

Not to mention Prost's gaffe with interests, even the other crew members who had nothing to do with it subconsciously opened their mouths in disbelief when they saw Zhang Yifei's sudden crazy move.

"Fei uses a set of soft tires that are about to be smoothed out, and accelerates like this on the rainy track, does he really plan to challenge the ultimate confrontation between man and machine?"

Sir Williams was also shocked and said that in this state, Zhang Yifei accelerated his speed, and it was no problem to call it death.

The car's grip will drop to the extreme, and any foot of the throttle can cause the tires to slip out of control, and every corner will require extreme fine-tuning to feel the change in the grip of the four tires, otherwise you will rush off the track.

It's not about racing cars, it's about the ultimate control of machinery.

If Zhang Yifei is a back-row driver who needs to fight for the championship, it is understandable that he made such a radical move. The problem is that Zhang Yifei is the first car, and he also got rid of his only competitor, Schumacher, and still did not choose to stop.

What does this mean? It shows that Zhang Yifei thinks that the opponent he can challenge is only himself?

No one knows what Zhang Yifei was thinking, but when the lap time of lap 28 came out, the sound of gasping on the track was endless!

Because just now, Zhang Yifei ran a lap time of 1:31.890, which was not as good as the extreme lap time of 1:31.788 he created in pole position.

But many people have heard a saying, that is, speed needs to be contrasted in order to show its greatness.

Schumacher, who ranked second in this lap, had a lap time of 1:36.901, and Zhang Yifei threw Schumacher in a single lap by as much as 5 seconds!

One of the greatest laps in F1 history was run by Senna at Donington Park in 1993, and in the same rainy background, Senna took the fifth starting position, surpassing Schumacher, Damon Hill and Prost, the three world champions, to the first position, and surpassed the second driver by nearly 4 seconds!

Zhang Yifei did not surpass any opponent this time, because he himself was ranked first, and no one could surpass him!

But the gap created by this lap even surpassed Senna's "greatest lap", directly throwing off Schumacher in second place by more than 5 seconds, and using soft tires that were about to be smoothed!

There is no doubt that this lap of the championship will go down in the history books of F1 and become the "greatest lap" compared to Senna. No matter how many years have passed, as long as F1 still exists, this lap speed will not be forgotten!

"Am I hallucinating? Tell me if this lap was more than 5 seconds ahead of Schumacher? ”

"You didn't hallucinate, you were more than 5 seconds ahead of Schumacher, we didn't see what Senna was like in the rain, but after today, everyone will know what it means to fly in the rain!"

"That's right, history will remember this circle, we witnessed Zhang Yifei in the rain!"

"Zhang Yifei in the rain, the god of rain war!"

"God of Rain War!"

The thunderous cheers muffled the roar of the track and the sound of the rain, and the sound of the rain battle once again appeared in the F1 paddock.

In the past ten years of F1 history, in addition to Senna and Schumacher, Zhang Yifei is the third person to win the title of God of Rain War.

This title is an affirmation of Zhang Yifei's strength, and it also shows his absolute control of the rain battle track!

Listening to the roaring sound of the audience, the Prost team pit stop, several members of the strategy team who had been angry and opposed before, stood in front of the console in a daze at the moment, a little like a dream.

It turns out that Zhang Yifei's rain fighting ability is already so strong?

The reason why he made such a madman-like risky move was to prove that he was the only master of the track, the driver who controlled the thunder and lightning in this final battle?

Everyone thinks that the rain battle will bring variables and create more suspense for this title match.

Now Zhang Yifei used a legendary circle to tell the whole world that the rain war does not bring variables and suspense, but a foregone conclusion.

No one can beat me on my home turf, and neither can Schumacher.
