245 strongest drivers
Zhang Yifei was also under tremendous pressure at the moment, the car was completely on the verge of losing control, and he tried everything he could to save it.
All the salvage measures are very slow to describe, but for Zhang Yifei, it is an operation that needs to be completed in a few tenths of a second.
This time Zhang Yifei didn't rely on luck, he relied on his extreme control hard power to save the car from the edge of runaway, and use the fastest speed to get out of the corner!
The role of the super soft tires began to play out, and at this time it was still at the peak of grip, and after a short 0.1 second of idling, the rear wheels grabbed the ground, and the lost control returned to Zhang Yifei's hands.
The steering force brought by the difference in speed between the front and rear wheels also helped Zhang Yifei complete the cornering action in advance, so at this time he could go down with one foot on the accelerator, frantically increase the speed of the Renault car, and rush out of the Adelaide bend.
There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei conquered Adelaide Bend with an impossible speed!
"Fly successfully! God, I couldn't believe my eyes, in this situation that could be called out of control, Fei not only completed the control of the car, but also went out of the corner at a faster speed, completely leaving Dixon behind! ”
"I want to apologize for my questioning just now, Fei did conquer the Adelaide Bend and conquered the Manicour Circuit!"
When Renault said this, the audience on the track boiled, and many fans jumped up excitedly at this time, they didn't expect Zhang Yifei to be really so strong, using the speed of an F1 driver to conquer the Manikul track!
"Zhang Yifei, champion!"
"Keep running, no one can keep up with you!"
"Win the race in Manicour and become a history-making F1 driver!"
"Fei, thank you, today let me witness history again!"
All kinds of blessings and praises came one after another, even if the game was not over, Zhang Yifei had already conquered the audience with his own strength.
In the VIP viewing room of the track, the three F1 team bigwigs were all stunned to watch Zhang Yifei flying over the corner, and they all couldn't believe it was true.
"Sir Williams, do you say flying is strength, or is it luck?"
Ghosn asked Williams in surprise, although his understanding of racing is not as strong as Williams or Prost, but he is not a novice in racing, and the difficulty and operation of cornering can still be seen.
Zhang Yifei's operation just now was completely in an unbelievable state, and the tangent line of the corner was messed up for a moment, and he almost didn't rush out of the track.
As a result, he was able to save him on the edge of losing control, and even took advantage of the speed difference between the front and rear wheels to complete the final turn extremely quickly, and advanced the APEX point out of the corner, so that he could accelerate out of the corner faster.
"Strength."
After saying that, Williams replied with a wry smile on his face: "Maybe there is a lot of luck." ”
Zhang Yifei was able to save the car back and ensure the speed of the cornering on the edge of this loss of control, and it is simply funny to say that he has no strength.
But just now, Williams believes that if Zhang Yifei is asked to do it again, he will never be able to copy it himself, so there is a lot of luck component, and even accounts for a large proportion.
However, there is an old saying that luck is also part of strength, especially for racing, many extreme challenges in corners have an element of luck. Therefore, it is rarely said in the F1 field that success is luck, this is strength!
Williams glanced at Prost with some envy at this time, he really picked up a treasure, Zhang Yifei is a driver with potential and strength, maybe no less than Kimi Raikkonen.
After all, the current state of the Prost team may not be well known to ordinary people, but as a member of the F1 circle, Williams knows it clearly.
According to the current situation of the Prost team, there is a high probability that the driver will leave the team or transfer next year, and if there is no money and no good driver can be found, the results can be imagined.
Coupled with Renault's "mending", if nothing else, the collapse of the Prost team has become a sentence. But now Zhang Yifei's appearance may give the Prost team a new life, just like the later Sauber team, which dug Kimi and Massa one after another.
Of course, envy is envy, let Williams take a contract as an official driver to recruit Zhang Yifei, he will definitely not do it. No matter how strong Zhang Yifei is now, he is only making a small fuss in the primary formula, and he is still too far from F1.
Looking at the distance gradually widening on the track, Ghosn said to Prost at this time: "Prost, it seems that you can prepare the driver contract." ”
When Prost heard this, the emotions in his heart were also very complicated, and emotions such as happiness, surprise, surprise, and hesitation were intertwined.
To be honest, Prost didn't think much of Zhang Yifei before, and he was able to agree to this driver contract purely because of Korcel's relationship, and the team really needs fresh blood.
Even if he agreed, Prost felt that there was no possibility that this bet contract would be completed, and he was actually not ready to sign Zhang Yifei in his heart.
After all, Prost's lifelong wish is to build a purebred French team, and sometimes people's concepts are not so easy to change.
"That's not necessarily, Dixon still has the competitive strength."
Williams chimed in and said that with five or six laps to go, anything is possible on the track, and he had to uphold the reputation of Williams' driver development program, even if Dixon had publicly bumped into him before.
Just as Ghosn was about to answer, he saw the broadcast screen of Dixon rushing off the track, and he spread his hands and said, "What a coincidence, there is no chance." ”
Williams also shook his head regretfully when he saw Dickson out, Dixon has always been very optimistic about him, and his strength has not been good. Even if it is Manicul Station, Dixon can be described as eye-catching.
It's just a pity that he met Zhang Yifei, and it is destined that all the light will be taken away by this crazy Chinese newcomer. I have to say that competitive events are brutal, and ten runners-up are not as important as a champion.
Dixon, who rushed out of the track, looked up at the sky with blank eyes at the moment, which can be described in four words.
In this lap just now, he planned to simulate Zhang Yifei's cornering route and use the same way to challenge the limit to recover the distance between him and Zhang Yifei.
But what he didn't expect was that even if he simulated Zhang Yifei's cornering route, in the end, he still didn't pass the corner smoothly, but ran out of control and ran out of the track.
This is where Dixon really hits, he can't even "copy", Zhang Yifei's cornering speed, and it has become a joke like Dong Shi's imitation. Coupled with those bold words before the game, now it is like a slap in the face, slapping Dixon in the face.
At the same time, Dixon also made up his mind that he would bid farewell to formula racing and return to the Indy event in the United States, completely breaking off the idea of becoming an F1 driver.
In fact, in the past four years, Dixon has not been reported from the race, but has been to the United States to participate in the junior IndyCar race. That's why he maintains such a strong strength and is favored by the Williams team.
IndyCar Racing, also known as IndyCar Racing, is a formula car that is independent of the FIA system and is dominated by the United States.
It's just that in terms of scale and influence, it lags behind F1, especially in terms of fame in Asia, and it is not compared with Formula 1. So many people don't know that there is another formula racing system in this world.
In the main race of Manicul, with Dixon's exit, Zhang Yifei no longer had any opponents on the track. Even if it is the second place now, the gap with Zhang Yifei is more than five seconds.
Five seconds is an insurmountable chasm for formula racing.
In fact, if he ran normally, Zhang Yifei would not have been able to open such a big gap, and it was precisely because of Dixon's catch-up that both of them burst out of their full potential, and finally became a heads-up situation.
By the twentieth lap, Zhang Yifei's tire grip had dropped so much that he gave up some cornering challenges and just walked at his normal pace.
Even if Zhang Yifei drove slowly, there was no shadow of the car behind him, and as long as Zhang Yifei did not rush out of the track with a five-second gap, there was basically no possibility of catching it back.
On the twenty-first lap, Zhang Yifei saw the tail lights appear in front of him, of course, it was not that others surpassed him, but that Zhang Yifei caught up with the last place in the current race, and rarely completed the ring!
Looking at the taillights in front of him, Zhang Yifei couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he didn't expect that the first time he encountered a ring would be on the Manikul track. Originally, Zhang Yifei thought that in the whole process of 20 laps, no matter how slow it was, it would not be given a ring.
It was clear as a result that he underestimated the rookie level of some riders.
At this time, a blue flag appeared on the track, which was to remind the lap driver to slow down, and if Zhang Yifei wanted to overtake at this time, the lap rider must also give way to the racing route.
The driver originally wanted to block Zhang Yifei, but seeing that there were no other drivers behind him, the outcome was already doomed. At this time, he was still doing things, which was simply self-inflicted, so he respected the instructions of the blue flag on the track, pulled over and gave way to the overtaking line.
At lap 22, there were no race-end black-and-white flags on the track, but the 30-minute countdown above the track was running out and the race would end on the final lap.
At this time, there was no suspense about the champion, and even many viewers had already stood up, ready to cheer for Zhang Yifei's champion.
When Zhang Yifei finished the twenty-third lap, the familiar black and white checkered flag was finally waved, representing the end of the race in Manikul and Zhang Yifei won the championship.
At the same time, all eyes are on the big screen, where the total time and fastest lap time will appear. Because at this moment, there is only one last suspense left, that is, did Zhang Yifei break the track record and complete the miracle of "triple jump"?
