279 Thinking too much
On the European track, there is only one person who will choose the number 13 as his number, and that is Zhang Yifei.
How can it be!
Suarez felt that he was afraid of whatever he was afraid of, and he had already achieved close to perfect starting control, why was he still caught up by Zhang Yifei in the back car, and it was even inferior to the previous Kubica?
Anyway, Kubica was overtaken at Turn 1, and he was overtaken at the start?
That's right, Suarez's series of starting maneuvers are fine, but his starting reaction is very slow, because he has too many things in his mind, afraid of losing, afraid of being surpassed by Zhang Yifei!
The real top drivers should only have one thought left in their minds at the moment, and that is how to beat their opponents, not how to prevent themselves from losing less ugly.
If you are afraid, you will lose!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Renault European Championship Silverstone has begun, and this is the fourth event in the series."
"We could see that the drivers were very responsive to the start when the lights went out, and the order of the start was only the result of their last race, and the starting speed would be the first time they crossed Turn 1 and no driver wanted to be behind."
Dixon, the pole sitter in qualifying, is leading the way at the moment and is showing his strength, and he is also a favourite for the Silverstone title. At the moment, the other drivers are close behind, and we can see ......"
When the event commentator Red said this, his voice suddenly stopped, and then he said in a more excited tone: "What did I see, the Chinese driver Fei actually overtook Suarez, who was fourth in the qualifying race, at the starting stage, what happened just now?" ”
Red's emotions are very high, knowing that Suarez is not a rookie, he has basically been in the top six in the first few races.
And he is still from the "giant" Prema team, just this kind of driver, can be surpassed by someone to start, so how strong should the person who surpasses him be?
", start to overtake, it's really Renault's strongest driver flying!"
"The last time I did this, it was at Monza, but that time I didn't overtake at the start, but I entered Kubica, which was overtaking at Turn 1, so I didn't expect it to be even more exaggerated today."
"That's right, after the two stops of flying got the pole position, it seems that it is not unhelpful to fall behind in the qualification, at least our audience is very cool to watch!"
Some praised Zhang Yifei's manipulation, while others expressed dissatisfaction with Suarez.
"Suarez, are you a piece of shit, how did you get into the Prima team?"
"What the hell is going on, is the starting reaction so slow?"
"It's a shame to be overtaken!"
Suarez didn't know that he was in a state of confusion at the moment, watching Zhang Yifei's car squeeze into front and occupy a more favorable cornering route.
After Zhang Yifei grabbed the front of Suarez, he stepped on the floor oil to the end, and the speed of the engine rose wildly, and the gear was in the first time, directly rising to sixth gear, not giving Suarez any chance to overtake.
Not only did Zhang Yifei do this, but the drivers in front of him also did the same, and in the first half of the seven corners of the Biyinshi circuit, the Renault car theoretically had six and a half full throttle passes.
As long as the top speed of 260 km/h can be maintained and the routing is controlled, there is almost no possibility for the rear car to overtake.
Especially Makina, who was fourth in the qualifying position, didn't dare to let go of his throttle at the moment. Because after the start, he subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror, wanting to rely on the line defense to block Suarez's overtaking route.
After all, Suarez is a strong driver in the Renault European Cup, and he has played very steadily in the three races, and he is an opponent who has to be guarded against.
As a result, he almost wondered if he was hallucinating in the rearview mirror, because behind him was not Suarez of car No. 6, but car No. 13, a driver from China, Fei!
Suarez was overtaken at the start?
When this idea came to him, Makina felt an incredible feeling in his heart!
Zhang Yifeiqiang Now no one will deny that Renault has won consecutive championships and hat-tricks in the European Cup, as long as he has a bit of an objective mentality, he will not think that Zhang Yifei is still a Chinese rookie.
But Suarez is not weak, or he is definitely not weak enough to be overtaken by others. To put it mildly, unless you call F1 drivers to this track, it is possible to start and crush Suarez.
The question is, Zhang Yifei got the F1 driver contract, does his strength really meet the standard of F1 drivers?
This answer is also currently recognized, that is, Zhang Yifei's strength will definitely not meet the requirements of the F1 standard.
A junior Formula driver who has only run four races, no matter how talented he is, will never reach the level of an F1 driver. So in Makina's heart, he didn't want to believe that Zhang Yifei could start to surpass Suarez with his strength, so what happened at that time?
Makina has no way of knowing what happened, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, he must not let Zhang Yifei overtake him!
The drivers at the top of the grid are all starting to pass through Turn 1 at this time, not to mention the technical gap, at least in the full-throttle corner, there should be no mistakes for the opponent to overtake.
If it does, it means that there is a major problem with the cornering line, which is something that needs to be self-examined.
Turn 1, Turn 2, Turn 3, several cars were whizzing past, biting each other very tightly, and the gap did not widen.
Those who can run into the top few pole positions today are undoubtedly the best in Renault's European Cup. Zhang Yifei has already pulled the tangent operation of the corner, but he still can't overtake the Makina in front of him, after all, the Silverstone track is not particularly necessary, it is best not to borrow the shoulder.
No one knows whether the shoulder of the road they borrowed will have the grip when the car is driven up, and the gains may outweigh the losses at that time.
Soon a train of cars was driving to Turn 5, which was the remaining half of the six half-throttle corners.
Due to the low-lying nature of Turn 5 at Silverstone and the wet and rainy weather in the UK, the section is often wet. In particular, the shoulders on both sides of the road are often flooded with muddy water containing debris due to drainage problems.
Therefore, when passing Turn 5, unless it is a continuous sunny day and the track is in good condition, try to take the very center of the course instead of the extreme tangent corner.
As a commentator, Reid naturally knew the characteristics of Turn 5, which is a regular overtaking spot at Silverstone.
So he said: "Soon the lead team will come to Turn 5 at Silverstone, this is a very test of the driver's calculation and choice, before the flight has shown amazing overtaking ability, I wonder if he will choose to challenge the Makina in front of him in this corner?" ”
"But we can see that Maquina has done a very good job defensively and has never given him a chance. If you choose to overtake at the limit at Turn 5, there is a high chance that you will overtake the track. ”
It is precisely because the line of Turn 5 is complex and varied, and there is almost no fixed defensive line, so it is not a favorite corner for defensive drivers.
But again, the complex terrain at Turn 5 means that you have to take even greater risks if you want to overtake. Historically, the overtaking record at Turn 5 at Silverstone cannot be said to be particularly low, nor is it very high, which is a great test for the driver's choice of overtaking route.
If you choose correctly, you can naturally overtake, and if you choose the wrong one, you can slow down and look for the next opportunity like other corners. If you make the wrong choice at Turn 5, and if you add a little back, you will be crushed by muddy water or weeds, and the car will lose its grip in an instant, and you won't want to save it when you drive into the turf.
It's just that the next scene was very unexpected to Red, Zhang Yifei did not choose to overtake at the limit, but Makina chose to defend at the limit and rushed out of the track by himself!
That's right, it was Makina who rushed off the track.
After a few corners in this race, the biting Zhang Yifei put a lot of pressure on Makina, coupled with the amazing control of qualifying, and the start of Suarez just now, it seems that Makina continues to pressure invisibly.
As the strongest driver on the current track, Zhang Yifei's driving style has naturally been studied by many drivers.
Almost all the drivers who have studied Zhang Yifei have come to the conclusion that the Chinese kid is very adventurous, even extremely challenging.
A driver's driving style is almost a fixed thing, and unless it is something force majeure, it is difficult to change it for a lifetime. Therefore, Makina thinks that he knows Zhang Yifei better, and Zhang Yifei will never give up on the opportunity corner of Turn 5.
Therefore, according to Zhang Yifei's habits, Makina chose a relatively extreme fast cornering route, if Zhang Yifei wants to surpass himself, then he must go full throttle, and borrow the shoulder of the road all the way.
Makina doesn't believe that Zhang Yifei's luck can burst in every race, Silverstone has had a light rain this morning, if you borrow the shoulder of the road all the way, the chance of the car tires slipping is at least more than 50%!
It can be said that Makina has taken Zhang Yifei's operation into account, and feels that everything is under his control!
Indeed, as Makina thought, Zhang Yifei did not plan to miss Turn 5 and was ready to overtake.
But the Makina in the back is purely for himself and thinks too much, that is, Zhang Yifei is not prepared for any extreme overtaking at all.
During the previous test run, Zhang Yifei had already chosen to slow down and pass Turn 5 at a speed of 230km/h, let alone now.
You must know that after so many days of understanding, coupled with Cosell's track analysis map, Zhang Yifei does not dare to say that he knows the Silverstone track well, but the key points are absolutely in mind, and he plans to choose a safe route in the middle, and then use the corner point to accelerate overtaking.
Zhang Yifei has already prepared Makina to take the line conservatively, and he will be mentally prepared to get stuck in the safe route. After all, in the corners ahead, Makina defended beautifully, and he could hardly find any opportunities.
Little did he know that Makina himself had chosen the aggressive cornering route. Then the tyre hit a puddle and caused it to spin and spin straight off the track, giving up third place.
What the hell is going on?
Zhang Yifei was stunned when he watched from behind, and he had the advantage that Makina could still drive out by himself?
If you don't understand this, I'm afraid I'm going to hack my own bank card transfer to Makina!
