When Red said this, many viewers at the scene thought of the king who was roaring in the rain. Hockenheimring is the home of McLaren, and many people have witnessed the era when the team and Senna reached the top.

The rain battle made the former generation of car gods famous all over the world, will there be a rain war master today?

I don't know the answer, and even if it will rain in just ten minutes, only God knows.

Zhang Yifei was still galloping on the track, he didn't care who the opponent next to him was, he just wanted to run his fastest lap and get the pole position in this qualifying race.

But behind him, there are two cars that are chasing frantically, they are Suarez and Kubica.

The defeat in the last stop made them also feel brave and want to prove themselves in this stop.

In the process of proof, the first enemy they have to defeat is the Chinese driver in front.

Especially Kubica, Zhang Yifei's "brake" remarks in an interview are simply the biggest humiliation for Kubica.

A driver, especially one who aspires to enter F1, cannot tolerate being called a coward and afraid to push the limits on the track.

He won't brake to give way, let alone look at Zhang Yifei's taillights and look up at him on the podium. So even if it was a qualifying match, he wanted to surpass Zhang Yifei and let this Chinese kid understand who was looking at the taillights.

But after five or six laps, Suarez and Kubica felt a kind of despair, that is, Zhang Yifei was getting faster and faster, whether it was the timing of braking or the cornering route, there was an indescribable smoothness and perfection.

At least in Kubica's opinion, Zhang Yifei didn't give him any chance to catch up, and even had two laps behind, Kubika completely simulated Zhang Yifei's line, and found that the cornering speed was faster than his previous habits!

How is this possible!

Kubica couldn't believe that everything in front of him was real, and if the two of them were evenly matched in the last stop, he finally lost.

So Zhang Yifei's performance in this qualifying race was already perfect, and he didn't give himself any opportunity to take advantage of. Is this huge improvement in strength something that can be done in just half a month?

Kubica can't believe that Suarez is the same, how can a Chinese newcomer be reborn in half a month?

Whether they believe it or not, the answer is already in front of them, and Zhang Yifei began to show his terrifying strength, proving that his previous podium was not an accident.

The race continued, and soon more than 20 minutes were passed, and the wind speed on the track was getting faster and faster, especially in the woods, because the trees on both sides formed a wind tunnel, which began to affect the handling of the car.

Massa, who did not join the race, used the intercom system to ask the team about the fastest lap.

You must know that the fuel consumption is about the same now, and the tire grip is at its peak, which is basically the time point for all drivers to fight for the fastest lap.

If you go on again, the tyre grip will drop and it won't necessarily be faster than the lap time it is now.

What's more, the wind is getting stronger on the track, and after the last lap through the tree-lined track, Massa has clearly felt the impact on the handling. With this potential risk, drivers will not choose to play for the last few laps, and there is now a high probability that the pole position lap time can be determined.

"The fastest lap was 1:46.928, which broke the Formula Junior record at Hockenheimring and set the time of 1:46."

"What lap did I run on?"

Massa casually asked, he was quite satisfied with his result, and he should not have a problem getting pole position.

You must know that the fastest lap in the last race was won by Suarez, which deprived him of the opportunity to complete his hat-trick, which became a regret point for Massa.

If you can still win the race, then with the pole position and the record-breaking lap time, no one can stop you from completing a hat-trick!

Even if it is not that difficult to complete a hat-trick in Formula Junior, if you even break the fastest lap record, it is equivalent to a quadruple and will definitely attract the attention of Formula 1 teams.

Even like Kimi before him, he might just get into the F1 team.

Joining an F1 team is the dream of every Formula 1 driver, just like any athlete in any sport who wants to compete in the national team for an Olympic Games.

Naturally, Massa also wants to be the next Kimi, or even the first Massa!

It's just that soon in the voice of the convoy, there is a message that he can't accept.

"Sorry Massa, this lap time was not run by you, but by the Chinese driver, on lap 12."

"What?"

Massa's momentary mentality can be described by the word "collapsed", and the far lead in the previous stop allowed him to establish a psychological advantage.

The competition of other drivers, although not as exaggerated as the rookie pecking at each other, is no problem for Massa to look down on his opponent.

As long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, no one can beat him, including the seeded players like Suarez and Kubica.

That's the confidence of Massa, and that's true in history, when he won the Renault Euro 2000 and it was a sweep that no one qualified to be his opponent.

Even in the next advanced Formula 3 race, Massa won 6 races in 11 races, setting the fastest lap 5 times, proving his dominance.

In the same year, he was favored by the F1 Sauber team as a test driver, and compared to Kimi's triple jump directly into the F1 team, Massa was a year late, but it was still amazing enough.

Massa's ability to dominate the field and enter the F1 team smoothly is definitely not a "glass heart".

So he quickly adjusted his mentality and calmly asked the team.

"Why didn't you remind me of your lap time?"

"You just broke the record after a lap, and the fastest lap was always your slight lead."

The team replied that now is the moment when the drivers hit their fastest lap, and the qualifying position is changing every lap, and it can only be said that the explosion of the Chinese riders in the last lap is really powerful, directly surpassing Massa.

Hearing this, Massa didn't say anything, but asked something else: "What's my fastest lap?" ”

Massa hadn't asked that question before, because the qualifying session wasn't over and the fastest lap wasn't fixed, so it didn't make much sense to ask.

Another thing is that Massa is very confident, he feels that he is in good form today, not to mention breaking the Hockenheim record, at least not much worse.

As a result, unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei was killed halfway through the road and directly broke the track record at Hockenheim, which made Massa decide to be serious.

"1:47.172, which also broke the track record of 1:47.317."

"However, the second fastest lap time of the No. 13 car is 1:47.6, which is only a very narrow gap with you before, which means that the No. 13 driver is not accidental to run into 1:46, he is very strong."

The team strategist reminded Massa not to take Zhang Yifei lightly, knowing that he can run 1 minute and 46 seconds, and other lap times can also break the track record, which is definitely a tough opponent.

"I see."

After Massa replied, he focused all his attention on the track, and running into 1 minute and 46 seconds is indeed a terrifying strength, but he will definitely not admit defeat.

You must know that Marseille later became popular in F1, although it was not the kind of arrogant driver, and even got a nickname called BABY.

But in the early days, his driving style was still very fast, after all, he had Senna, a senior who was also Brazilian, even if he couldn't do the same radical style, at least he had the power of example, and he couldn't coax it.

So Massa intends to sprint with all his might, overtake Zhang Yifei's fastest lap, and take back the pole position at this stop.

The strategist of the Massa team, although he is not the race engineer of the exclusive driver, he is also familiar with Massa's character, and knows that Massa is not the kind of person who admits defeat, and will inevitably choose to surpass Zhang Yifei.

So he pressed the call button again at this time, reminding Massa: "Now that the weather has changed, the wind has obviously affected the handling of the car, and the grip of the soft tires has begun to decrease, it is a very dangerous move to choose to exceed the limit in this car situation." ”

The Hockenheimring circuit is already experiencing significant winds, especially the wind tunnel effect on the boulevards, which makes it much more difficult to maneuver.

For safety reasons, many drivers have chosen to slow down on the boulevard, and even Zhang Yifei has used all his strength to run the fastest lap in advance.

Otherwise, according to his previous plan, it should be the last few minutes, when the oil is at its lowest, is the time to challenge the fastest lap.

"I know, but I'm not going to give up pole position."

Massa didn't choose to follow the advice of the team's strategists, after all, they were all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they all had a youthful and frivolous impulse.

And with about five minutes to go until the end of the game, Massa just bowed his head and conceded defeat, he felt that he couldn't do it.

"Stay safe."

The team strategist knows this mentality, and it doesn't mean much to say anything else, so he can only give one last reminder.

With only about three laps to go, Massa made a last-ditch push to overtake Zhang Yifei's fastest lap and take pole position at Hockenheim.

"There are only five minutes left in the race, and the wind is getting faster and faster on the track, but with the current weather conditions, it is unlikely that there will be a race in the rain."

"You can feel the riders on the track, they're slowing down now. Because of the special structure of the Hockenheimring Circuit, it is easy to form a wind tunnel effect, causing the car to lose control at high speeds. ”

"And today the riders are mostly on soft tyres, and as the race comes to an end, the tyre wear is already more severe and the grip is past its peak. Coupled with the risk of the boulevard running out of control, it is believed that no more drivers will choose to take risks. ”

Just as Red was explaining these words, thinking that qualifying would enter the final "garbage time", he saw a car that had significantly increased its speed, frantically overtaking the cars in front of him.

"No, not all drivers don't dare to take risks, No. 3 Massa has started to pick up speed, is he going to fight for pole position in this harsh track environment?"

"It's crazy, but it also shows me the desire for victory and pole position for a driver worthy of the winner at Monza – Massa!" 8)
