429 The Beginning of the Peak (Chapter 1)

As Blundell said, after Zhang Yifei surpassed Pannis, he chased Ralph Schumacher at great speed, and he couldn't tell that this was the speed of a rainy day, let alone the speed that an F1 newcomer could run for the first time in the rain!

At this moment, Zhang Yifei's face had no expression, and even surpassed Panniz just now, Zhang Yifei didn't even have basic joy.

A track killer without feelings, this more exaggerated adjective is indeed very consistent with Zhang Yifei's current track state.

After transitioning from track racing in his last life, he has several years of rally experience, and even became the top rally driver in China, and got the opportunity to go to Europe to compete on the world circuit.

It is these experiences that have allowed Zhang Yifei to conquer mud, deserts, swamps, and even snow! It can be said that Zhang Yifei has experienced the slippery road that human motorsports can touch, and this kind of rainy track is really nothing to Zhang Yifei.

Of course, this is not to say that F1 drivers are not skilled, rally drivers with experience will be able to beat the world's top formula drivers in the F1 paddock.

But Zhang Yifei's experience proves a truth, that is, actual combat can bring about the improvement of technology, no matter how much simulation and training, it is impossible to compare with the training in a game!

Why are there many "landlubbers" among F1 drivers, and even drivers like Massa, who were born in Brazil, rain battles will become their own shortcomings. It's because in fact, many F1 drivers, they haven't been exposed to a few rain battles in their careers, and they haven't run at all, how do you ask them to overcome their shortcomings?

You must know that at this stage of F1, although teams are not prohibited from training with drivers privately, in fact, their training time is only during the winter training period after the season.

As we all know, it is difficult to have any sudden heavy rain in the winter climate, which leads to the fact that the riders cannot frequently contact the rain during training.

Moreover, the technology of this era could not build a complete sprinkler system directly on the track of several kilometers like the later Paul Ricard circuit in France, which was specially used to simulate the rainy environment of the track on a sunny day.

The lack of adequate training and rainy weather has naturally led to the landlubber attributes of some riders.

In this era, there is no way to train high-tech, and after the rain simulation conditions in later generations, the FIA banned the private training of drivers, and could only drive on the track simulator, which caused a very contradictory place.

That's the racing simulator, which can realistically simulate the track layout and even the feedback of the car while driving. However, the changes brought about by the weather can never be fully simulated, and it is difficult for drivers to feel it in person.

Therefore, many F1 drivers' shortcomings in the rain battle have not been well solved.

Of course, there are also some riders who are born with the attribute of "landlubbers", and the natural shortcomings of the rain war are still weak no matter how much they train. However, this kind of driver generally does not deserve to win the world championship, because the F1 driver who can become the king of the peak must have no shortcomings!

The other thing is that in this world, whether you admit it or not, there is a super genius. Even if these drivers don't have enough experience in rain training, they can still adapt to the rain track in a short time.

When encountering this kind of open-mindedness, no theory can be applied to them, and they can only use the words "strong and invincible" to describe their fierce life!

Zhang Yifeiyuzhan can't be said to be talented, but it's definitely not a career shortcoming. Coupled with his slippery road training and actual combat load, he surpasses many drivers on the track now, let alone the average 20-something-year-old newcomer.

It is under this innate advantage that Zhang Yifei has the absolute confidence and confidence to challenge Yuzhan and defeat his opponent!

After a lap and a half, Zhang Yifei was less than 20 meters away from Ralph Schumacher. You must know that the length of the F1 car is only about 5 meters, and 20 meters is only 4 bodies behind, which is a small gap for the F1 event.

Almost no one could have imagined that Zhang Yifei only came out of the pit lane less than two laps before catching up with Schumacher Jr. of the Williams team, who had overtaken before.

"Damn, Zhang Yifei's speed is too fast, and I obviously feel that the other drivers are not at the same level as his speed!"

"It's a bit fast, I didn't even notice that he caught up with Schumacher Jr., is it really going to be a miracle at the Sepang circuit today?"

"Rain Fights Fly! I knew that the practice match was not accidental, and the flying rain battle was really strong! ”

β€œNICE! Fly, overtake Schumacher Jr., and shoot back at his previous block! ”

Zhang Yifei's performance has won a lot of support, including some foreign fans.

After all, Zhang Yifei is also famous in Europe in a sense, and fans who watched last year's Formula Renault were deeply impressed by Zhang Yifei's performance.

Once you reach a certain level of strength, factors such as nationality and skin color will fade, and they will respect the strong.

This is something that black driver Hamilton has turned around ten years later, and if all goes well, there may be a yellow driver at this point in time to break the prejudice on the F1 track with his strength and results.

"Ralph, the driver is catching up, pay attention to the defensive line."

The Williams team pit pits, issued a warning to Schumacher Jr., Zhang Yifei's car is rapidly approaching, and it can be expected that the Chinese driver will soon attack.

Hearing the reminder of the strategy group in the headset, Schumacher Jr. glanced at the rearview mirror with a very serious expression.

In fact, there is no need to say that with the current strength of Schumacher Jr., it is impossible not to notice that there is a blue Prost car behind him, which is rapidly approaching.

Chinese newcomers are too fast!

In Ralph Schumacher's mind, this sentence kept popping up, although after he overtook Zhang Yifei, it didn't take long for him to encounter rain, and then pit for tire changes, and the distance between the cars was not very exaggerated.

But if you want to catch up, it is definitely not an easy thing, and it is impossible to run two laps without running the Chinese kid is about to eat his own wake.

How did the Chinese rider fly so fast?

This is another question that Schumacher Jr. can't suppress in his heart, in fact, after surpassing Zhang Yifei before, he no longer treats the other party as an opponent. After all, Zhang Yifei wants to catch up, and Alonso is in the way, at least it can be delayed for a while.

It's just that this period of time was much shorter than Ralph Schumacher's estimate, and Zhang Yifei almost followed Alonso closely. But at this time, Pannis stood up again, and before Yuzhan made a pit stop to change tires, he easily surpassed Zhang Yifei, once again allowing the Chinese newcomer to open a notch with his own ranking.

At the same time, Pannis's easy overtaking also gave Schumacher Jr. an illusion, that is, Zhang Yifei's rain battle was not as strong as he was in the practice match. Otherwise, according to the strong character of the Chinese kid, it is impossible for people to overtake so easily.

Moreover, Pannis's strength, in the current F1 paddock, can only be regarded as a decent level, and it cannot crush Zhang Yifei's strength.

So Schumacher Jr.'s goal began to be on his teammate Montoya, and even Jordan's driver Trulli in front.

If it weren't for the fact that the current fourth-ranked driver, also from Jordan's Frenzen, Schumacher Jr. might not be able to resist his fighting spirit and start a civil war to attack Montoya.

In order to strive for greater benefits, he can only hold back his heart of "cannibalism", temporarily follow behind Montoya's car, and find an opportunity to attack Trulli at the same time, so as to complete the overtaking more easily in a cooperative way, and it is also in the interests of the team.

As a result, before the two of them could launch an offensive, Zhang Yifei behind him overtook Penis and caught up, which shocked Schumacher Jr., and he could only turn the muzzle of the gun and focus all his attention on Zhang Yifei.

Similarly, Zhang Yifei looked at the Williams FW26 "Sabertooth Tiger" racing car with blue and white paint in front of him, and his heart was full of fighting spirit!

It can be said that the drivers who faced off with Zhang Yifei in the last stop are basically some newcomers to the track, or drivers in the middle and lower reaches of F1. Many people's names and experiences are actually not deep in Zhang Yifei's original memory, and they are all learned through driver information after coming to this world.

But little Schumacher is different, just by virtue of the name of Michael Schumacher's younger brother, it is enough for many people to know and know him. And at this point in time, it is also the peak of Schumacher Jr., making him one of the top drivers in the F1 paddock.

It's just paradoxical that Schumacher Jr.'s peak coincided with his brother Schumacher's Ferrari dynasty.

The achievement of five consecutive championships has made the achievements of other drivers bleak, and even the highlights of Schumacher Jr.'s own career have been tightly covered by the light of his brother, and can only become a shadow.

But history also proves that Schumacher Jr. is a driver whose fame is greater than his strength, and many people think that the current highlight moment is the beginning, and treat him as a future F1 world champion, even the team's treatment and salary.

As a result, in fact, his highlight moment was already at his peak, and then he collapsed, never ran any good results, and finally had to retire in disgrace.

Big Schumacher did suppress his brilliance, but even without the suppression of his brother, Ralph Schumacher could not be compared to Michael Schumacher, who was too much worse than his brother......

Regardless, Schumacher Jr. is one of the most well-known drivers in the F1 paddock at the moment, with six career races and 27 podium finishes.

As long as it is not compared to the big Schumacher, the little Schumacher can barely meet the standard of the first-class drivers in the F1 paddock. can have a showdown with such a well-known driver, Zhang Yifei is looking forward to it in his heart!
