At the Adelaide corner, after Zhang Yifei flicked his tail and rushed off the track, he did not feel the fear he had when he had a flat tire at Hockenheim Circuit before.

After all, the speed was over 160 km/h at that time, and a flat tire also destroyed the dynamic balance of the whole car, resulting in a complete uncontrollable situation. Just now it was only 90 km/h, which is only a second for the braking power of a formula car, and it only takes a second to brake directly.

It's just that the one hundred and eighty-degree tail flick brought about by the body swing is still very exaggerated, which directly made Zhang Yifei's headset fall off from the helmet, so he didn't hear Yamamoto Youjing's call at all.

At this time, Zhang Yifei was sitting in the cockpit, and subconsciously wanted to clutch and replenish the oil, but he stepped on the brakes to death before, causing the car to stall directly in the buffer zone.

Formula cars are not like ordinary family cars, with power and ignition systems, once the track is turned off, they have to wait for the team members to call the external igniter, which is equivalent to directly "paralyzing".

Depend on! Zhang Yifei hammered the steering wheel a little unwillingly, and then unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

He thought that he had no problem with the operation and cornering route just now, but under this high speed, the tires were not gripping enough, so they lost control and rushed off the track.

After getting out of the car, Zhang Yifei subconsciously pressed the call button on the steering wheel, wanting to contact Kossel and ask him to send the external power supply, but suddenly found that his microphone had fallen out of the way.

Just when Zhang Yifei put on the headset again and was about to call again, he saw that the track safety car had already come.

Today is not an official race, only Zhang Yifei is alone on the track test run, naturally it is impossible to have an official safety car for him, so now only his own team members can drive the safety car.

The safety car stopped directly in front of Zhang Yifei, and when the car door opened, Ah Hu jumped down first, and asked Zhang Yifei with concern: "Brother Fei, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, don't worry."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, this is just a small accident, there is really no need to be too nervous.

Several other people also got off the car one after another, in fact, when they saw Zhang Yifei standing next to the track in the car before, they knew that there should be no big deal, and most of their hanging hearts had already been put down.

"Yifei-kun, what happened just now?"

"The cornering speed was too fast, and I hit the steering wheel a lot to avoid going off the track, and the tires didn't grip enough to flick the tail."

"It's good that people are fine, the speed of 90km/h is still too fast for a junior formula car, and it is estimated that it has exceeded the limit of the car's performance."

Yamamoto Ukyo was comforted at this time, and he also felt that this was not Zhang Yifei's problem, after all, in the history of this track, there was no precedent for a Renault-level junior formula to pass the Adelaide Turn at 90km/h.

"No, it's not that you exceed the limits of the car, it's that you have a problem driving."

Cosell didn't have the so-called comfort, he instead directly pointed out the problem of Zhang Yifei's opening method.

"I feel like I'm just aligning the line normally, and the speed is kept at the 90km/h in gear 1 you require, and I can't do anything if the tires don't grip enough."

Zhang Yifei didn't want to defend anything, he did feel that he had done a very standard job, and there were no obvious accidents. At that speed, if you don't flick the steering wheel sharply, you will also rush off the track because of the speed, which has little to do with your own control.

"The grip of the tyres is not enough, but that's not what makes it off the track! At this speed, any F1 driver can drive at this speed, and there is absolutely no guarantee of a successful corner. ”

"Do you really think that the 10km/h speed difference between a 90km/h corner and a 100km/h corner is not as big as the difference between a Renault junior car and a Formula 1 car?"

"You have to know that the risk of getting out of control with the speed increase is not linear, but geometric. The speed difference of each kilometer brings a big difference in difficulty, and the speed difference of ten kilometers can almost make the corner without any suspense. ”

Hearing Cosell's words, Zhang Yifei did not refute, and indeed let any F1 driver come to this corner just now, and he also believed that there would be no such situation as himself.

Maybe Zhang Yifei will make excuses before, after all, he is only a junior Renault driver, and they are all F1 drivers, one of the strongest dozens of people on the planet.

But now Zhang Yifei can't, if he can successfully meet Prost's requirements, then he can also become an F1 driver, becoming one of the dozens of people with the best driving skills in the world.

Or to compare it to another person, Kimi Raikkonen as a newcomer, after entering the Sauber team, directly running the official F1 race, at this time there will be someone on the track because he is a newcomer?

The answer, of course, is no, no one cares if you're a newcomer or not, and the driver is only concerned about winning on the track!

Before Kossel said that Zhang Yifei should be treated with F1 standards, this is not an empty word, since other F1 drivers can pass, then why did Zhang Yifei lose control?

"I was really too casual after the line, and it was my problem that I didn't reach the limit of this corner."

Zhang Yifei did not quibble or shirk, he did not make much mistake in the operation just now, and the line was also in accordance with the standard conventional cornering route.

But the problem was that he chose the most standard way of driving, which led to the failure of cornering.

Because the standard cornering course is not designed to push the limits, since you plan to cross this Adelaide Turn at extreme speeds, it is natural to take a more aggressive cornering route.

For example, when entering a corner, try to encroach on the outside shoulder, and when passing the APEX center point, hit the steering wheel to refuel to resist inertia, etc. These changes in driving style can increase the cornering speed little by little.

It may not seem like much for each change in the mode of operation, but it adds up to a very objective number. Every 0.00 seconds of a lap on the track, dozens of laps can be accumulated, and it can be faster by nearly a second.

And this second is the runner-up's hope for the championship for the top F1 race.

Hearing that Zhang Yifei was able to admit his mistakes so quickly, without being as unconvinced as ordinary young people, made Korsell feel very satisfied.

But he won't praise Zhang Yifei for anything, a mistake is a mistake, and you can't make up for it just because you admit your mistake calmly. If there is only one mistake like this in an official match, then there will never be a chance to make up for it!

This is the cruelty of competitive sports, there is no regret and restart, and the slightest mistake will be infinitely magnified.

"Youjing, you take Ah Hu and them to test the car, and if it's okay, ignite it and continue."

"Hmm."

Yamamoto Youkyo nodded, and then led Ah Hu and Brother Zhi to check the situation of the car.

The benefit of the asphalt buffer is that it does not splash too much sand and gravel, which can damage the fragile parts of the car.

However, the friction of the asphalt buffer zone for the slick tires is too large, and if it is a side slip, it is likely to roll over, which will further aggravate the consequences of the accident, which can only be said to have advantages and disadvantages.

After a brief inspection, there were no major problems with the Renault car, Zhang Yifei put the headgear back on the helmet and sat in the cockpit. The test run has just begun, this is just a small challenge, and there are more than ten corners in the future, and Zhang Yifei has to challenge the limit one by one!

The car ignited, Zhang Yifei drove onto the track and continued to drive, and Korcel and several people would return to the pit, and the test run continued.

The second half of the Manikul circuit is basically a few low-speed corners, which are extremely challenging for the drivers.

With the previous lesson, this time Zhang Yifei did not blindly choose the most standard cornering route, but adjusted his finishing method according to the different characteristics of each corner.

It may be impossible to find the best route after one or two corners like this, but running down in laps will eventually allow Zhang Yifei to have his own track experience and find some cornering routes that are most suitable for him.

"What's the lap time of the flight?"

When Zhang Yifei came to lap 20, Korsell felt that he was walking very smoothly in this lap and should not be slow, so he asked Yamamoto Ukyo.

"1:25.479."

When Yamamoto Ukyo replied, there was a hint of surprise in his tone, because the junior formula record at the Manikul circuit was 1:25.391.

It can be said that Zhang Yifei's current speed is extremely close to the junior formula record at the Manicour circuit, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks this record.

It's just that when Yamamoto Ukyo didn't expect it, Mentor Kossell was not as happy as he imagined, but replied dissatisfiedly: "Slow, still too slow, what I need is not close or just breaking, what I need is to surpass the track record by a large margin." ”

"This is the only way to ensure that in the official race, breaking the track record is just an easy little goal for flying. Otherwise, at the current pace, if there is a slight problem with the form on the day of the race, it will be difficult to break the record. ”

Formula racing is a race that depends on the state of the drivers at that time, even if you are as strong as Schumacher and Senna, you dare not say that you can win every race.

After all, at the level of F1 drivers, there is no absolute difference between superior and inferior driving skills, and everyone is one of the strongest dozens of people on the planet.

What Korcel wants is not to be excellent, but to be invincible! At Zhang Yifei's speed now, it is difficult for even Coatel to meet the standard of excellence in his heart, after all, the track record has not been broken, let alone the invincibility of sweeping.

The test run time of the track was only an hour, and 20 laps plus the previous track accident took almost 40 minutes.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei does not have much time in the future, and he can still run a test run for a maximum of fifteen laps when he is full, and then he has to give up the track to other drivers for a test run.

There wasn't much time on it, so Korsell pressed the call button again: "Fly, do you know how slow you are?" It's to call the current Prost over, and to open it in his conservative style, which will be faster than you. ”

"Can you let me feel your speed and drive a little faster!"
