"Oh my God! Makina actually rushed off the track at Turn 5, which was probably something that no one expected. ”

"I don't know what's going on on the track, but it seems like we'll have to wait for the post-race interview to find out why Makina went off the track."

But as Makina raced off the track, the Chinese driver Fei was already in third place. I don't know if this should be called luck or a coincidence, but none of this has hindered the rise of Fei Noun, and he has already reached the third position! ”

Red explained in an emotional tone, in fact, he still had a thought in his heart, that is, the four words of destiny.

If Zhang Yifei can win the championship at Silverstone, then he will most likely lock up the Renault European Cup Drivers' Championship title in advance. And with five of the eight games won, his win rate would be a staggering 62.5 percent.

You must know that the Finnish driver Kimi, who was previously called a miracle, won only 13 of the 23 races he participated in in the Renault British Championship, with a winning rate of 56%.

Drivers who can achieve this kind of winning rate and dominance, putting aside those subjective and malicious evaluations, Zhang Yifei is undoubtedly a talented driver, and he is destined to enter F1.

Maybe this is destiny, otherwise it is impossible to explain why Makina drove so well, and the previous defensive line was also beautiful, but suddenly rushed off the track.

Of course, as a race commentator, Red should try to be fair and fair, and not be too biased towards any one driver.

The Mandate of Heaven can only be his subjective thoughts as a disciple, and it is impossible to really use it as any argument and explain it directly.

And for the drivers, many people actually disagree with the so-called destiny, even including Zhang Yifei himself, if he hears the so-called destiny, he may disdain.

Compared with the so-called destiny of heaven, Zhang Yifei believes in the Chinese philosophy of the East, that is, man will conquer heaven!

In fact, it's really not that mysterious, Makina rushed off the track and it has nothing to do with destiny, it's just a typical example of thinking too much, thinking that everything is under his control.

As a result, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and it directly became two hundred and five!

Of course, if you want to investigate the deeper reason, it is that Zhang Yifei has put too much pressure on Makina.

He never thought about being able to get rid of or defeat Zhang Yifei, all he thought about was self-preservation, how not to let Zhang Yifei surpass him. This mentality of cowardice before fighting, even if you can't surpass Turn 5, you will surpass Turn 10.

It can only be said that the consecutive championships of Hockenheim and Manicul have erected the image of Zhang Yifei as the "big devil", and many drivers are subconsciously unwilling to admit that they actually do not have any confidence and confidence in the face of Zhang Yifei.

Perhaps among these drivers, the only ones who are still a little arrogant are Dixon, Massa, and Kubica.

Before the first lap of the race, Zhang Yifei came to the third position, which was a speed that many people had not expected before.

At the same time, it also indirectly proves Zhang Yifei's strength, and it is no accident that he was able to make amazing controls in the face of gearbox failure in the last stop. So at this time, there were many fewer doubts about Zhang Yifei in the audience.

In fact, they are also curious in their hearts, that is, whether Zhang Yifei can really surpass all his opponents and win the championship of the Silverstone Circuit to prove himself.

At present, the second place on the Silverstone Circuit is Kubica, who has a holiday with Zhang Yifei. When he was at Monza, he was second only to Massa as the European Karting Champion and the favorite seed to win the European Championship for Renault.

As a result, at the moment of the race, at the first corner, he was overtaken by Zhang Yifei, who was still unknown at the time, and even many people laughed at him coldly, and broke an upset on the Silverstone Track.

It is true that at that time, Kubica had a careless factor, and he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to choose to overtake strongly. But in competitive events, you only look at the results and don't care how you lose.

So this incident made Kubika's popularity plummet, and he received a lot of ridicule, which can be said to be an eternal pain in Kubika's heart.

It's just that in the next few events, Zhang Yifei's strength is getting stronger and stronger, not to mention Kubica, even Massa can't suppress him. It is still the future Indy champion driver Dixon, who can barely compete with Zhang Yifei on the track.

In this way, a future F1 driver was gradually reduced to a marginal figure. Even if he has entered the top six standings, how can the stars compete with the sun and the moon?

Facing Zhang Yifei appearing behind him again, Kubica at this moment was filled with a desire for revenge.

In any case, he can't accept Zhang Yifei to surpass himself again!

I have to say that Kubica still has the strength, and the person who can win the European Karting Championship and gain a firm foothold in F1 in the future is really not a rookie.

Maybe there was a gap between Kubica and Zhang Yifei before, and there was no way to catch up and face the competition when they were behind.

But when Kubica was in the lead, and he was preoccupied with the defensive line, Zhang Yifei really felt a sense of "struggling".

Almost when he wanted to overtake, Kubica's car would always appear just right on Zhang Yifei's overtaking route, blocking his overtaking. If Zhang Yifei chooses to force overtake, riding on the shoulder of the road may not solve the problem, and he needs to use the buffer zone to do it.

With the current road conditions on the Silverstone Track, overtaking with the help of a buffer zone is no different from looking for death, Zhang Yifei is very aggressive, but he is definitely not the kind of reckless man who can't bear it.

Even if it is a gambler's psychological outburst, at least there must be a chance of five or five to be worth betting.

This kind of gambling is destined to lose, and only the frenzied will go to the table.

Lap 2, lap 3, lap 4...... After three consecutive laps, Zhang Yifei didn't find any chance to overtake, and many times the front nose of the car was about to cross the rear wheel of Kubica, but it was always so bad.

"Brother Zhi, this kid in car No. 22 is a bit strong, and Brother Fei can't surpass it."

Ah Hu saw the broadcast picture on the track, and said with some concern, the gearbox failure of the car has caused a little shadow to him, and he is really worried that Zhang Yifei can't surpass it, because of the impact of the gearbox.

"It's normal to be overpowered, the race has just begun, don't think that the track is full of rookies."

Chen Zhi was still relatively calm, and he didn't feel that it was just an accident. On the contrary, being suppressed by the opponent for a few laps in an official race is a scene that often occurs on the track.

"Okay, I hope Fei Ge can overtake it quickly, otherwise the kid in front of him will run farther and farther."

The kid in front of Ah Hu's mouth is Dixon, and his own hard power is one of the best among Renault's European Cup drivers. If Zhang Yifei hadn't come out of nowhere to suppress him, maybe the original Renault European Cup champion Massa would have been five or five different from Dixon in terms of strength.

Now that Zhang Yifei is being dragged by Kubica, Dixon will naturally seize this opportunity to try to open the gap.

However, this gap is not as exaggerated as the first race at Monza, where Massa was far ahead. The main reason is that Zhang Yifei's speed is too fast, and Kubica almost uses extreme speed to suppress Zhang Yifei's overtaking route.

It is precisely because the difference in speed is not very big, and it is not so simple for Dixon to open up the gap, and the three people are basically still in the same echelon, entangled with each other.

"Mentor, I think the gear ratio of adapting to the new gearbox still has a little bit of an impact on Fei."

Yamamoto Ukyo also watched the broadcast screen on the track intently, as a professional team member, he did not only see the surface like Ah Hu, but more saw the problems on the control of Zhang Yifei's car.

Many times when switching gears on the corners, Zhang Yifei obviously does not have the smoothness of the previous test run.

However, Zhang Yifei did not have the slightest problem with the routing when cornering, which means that it is not affected by state factors, and the only explanation is that the change of gearbox gear ratio makes him inaccurate in controlling the shift time.

"It's a change he has to get used to."

Korsell just replied indifferently, not taking the gearbox problem into account in the slightest.

Because the gearbox gear ratio changes, it is only a problem and difficulty in front of junior Formula drivers, and these are just a way to adjust for F1 drivers.

You must know that the F1 cars of this era do not use the most high-end seamless gearbox in later generations, but still the traditional spur-tooth sequential gearbox. The shift mechanism is a drum sequence, rather than a seamless shift mechanism that is fully engaged.

Depending on the team's choice, the gears are divided into six- or seven-speed gearboxes, with seven-speed gearboxes generally being chosen, but there are exceptions.

For example, Renault's R25 race car in '05 used a six-speed gearbox, which was one gear less than the regular seven-speed transmission of the car at that time. The disadvantage is that it suffers at high speeds, and the advantage is that the gear ratio is different, and it can get more torque at medium and low speeds, which improves the acceleration ability of the car.

It was by relying on the six-speed gearbox to cooperate with the engine, coupled with Alonso at his peak, that Renault won the Constructors' and Drivers' Championship in '05 and became the "yellow lightning" on the track.

Just as the six-speed and seven-speed have their own advantages, F1 teams will adjust the gear ratios of the sequential gearbox to suit the different styles of the track, so that the cars can reach faster speeds.

For example, the Moroccan circuit is a low-speed track with many bends, and the tuning direction is to strengthen the low torque, which is convenient for better acceleration. High-speed circuits like Monza, on the other hand, focus on the racing's extreme speed.

So, the change in gear ratios is something that every F1 driver has to get used to.

Now that Zhang Yifei has become a quasi-F1 driver, today's Silverstone Circuit can be used as a starting point for him to adapt to future F1 cars!
