589 No Shortcomings (Chapter 3)
"Fei was overtaking at the limit just now, but he didn't pose any risk to Montoya, even the faster Fei on the outside lane was able to control the car? Can't Montoya in the inner lane even control the tangential line, are you implying that Montoya's driving skills are not good? ”
Blundell generally doesn't like to scare people, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability to scare people.
Anyway, it's also a twenty-year-old commentary on this bowl of mouth rice, how can you not have any mouth cannon skills. Now that the other party has reversed black and white, Blundell feels that it is necessary to be too polite.
"Of course, Montoya has no problem with his driving skills, but he asks why he must give way to the flying of the outer lane, and what privileges and priorities are there on the track?"
"Are you admitting it in disguise, Montoya doesn't want to give way to the line, so he deliberately crashed into the air?"
Blundell seized the other party's loophole and immediately asked a rhetorical question.
"I ......"
"I didn't mean anything on Montoya's purpose, it was just an accident on the track, just an accident!"
No matter how much Lewis quibbled, he couldn't change the fact that Montoya crashed into Zhang Yifei, he could only bite the accident.
In the face of the argument of the two commentators, the on-site director made various gestures to signal the two of them to stop. At this level, it may not be an argument, but a quarrel.
Looking at the actions of the director of the opinion room, Blundell suppressed the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart, and he is also an old commentator who has been in the industry for many years, and the basic professional code is that there is no doubt.
He also doesn't want to turn a game commentary into a brawl scene, which is a taint on the commentary profession.
So Brendel made the first concession and did not continue the argument, but continued to explain the situation on the track.
In the Pits of the Prost team, there was already a lot of shouting at the moment, as members of the F1 professional team, how could they not see Montoya's deliberate inclination?
It can only be said that they didn't expect that Montoya had reached the point where she could do everything, and the No. 13 Grim Reaper was going to crash Zhang Yifei, which was simply murder!
"This montag Montoya, I can't help but beat him up when the game is over!"
"Hold your mother! If it weren't for Feige's control, something big would have happened just now, and he couldn't afford to lose this fight! ”
"If there is any accident just now, I will definitely let Montoya get the lesson he deserves!"
"I've maliciously hit me once in Brazil, and this time I want to do it again, I'm a fucking shit driver!"
The expression on Korcel's face was ugly in the face of these noisy shouting voices, but he had more important things to focus on.
"Fly, how is the rear wing of the car, can the handling be stable?"
When Zhang Yifei's tail fin rubbed against the cement wall before, a long scratch was made, and a piece of it was broken in the back.
The most important air downforce in a Formula 1 car is provided by the rear wing, and if it is damaged, it means that the aerodynamic balance is broken.
If the damage is slight, it will only reduce the downforce of the car, and if it is severe, it will cause the airflow guidance to fail, or even turbulence will have a counterproductive effect, and it will be difficult for the car to control.
"The airflow on both sides of the rear wing is unbalanced, the right side is greater than the left, so it's very difficult for me to maneuver some cornering now."
Zhang Yifei truthfully told that due to the difference in downforce, the grip of the wheels on both sides is different, so it is easy to deviate and slide sideways in corners.
"You've missed the pit stop just now, keep running this lap and pit the next lap!"
Turn 13 is the final corner of the Indianapolis Circuit, followed by the start of the long straight, and the pit access is also on this long straight.
The damage to the rear wing is more reflected in the grip of the corner, so Zhang Yifei accelerated in a straight line in order to block the car Montoya, and directly missed the entrance of the maintenance channel. This meant that he had to hold on to the broken rear wing, block Montoya for one lap and then pit for the next lap.
To be honest, with Montoya's strength on this track, it would not be easy to stop him for a lap under normal circumstances. Now when the tail wing is damaged, it will be a difficult challenge for Zhang Yifei to block Montoya's lap.
"I see."
"I think you can stop him!"
Instead of directly releasing the button of the call button as usual, Korsell continued to say a word to Zhang Yifei.
"Remove those three words from what I think."
Zhang Yifei responded indifferently, Montoya's actions before made him actually have a fire in his stomach.
It's just that it's still a game, and any radical and irrational actions are stupid behaviors.
Because he has surpassed Montoya and become the first car on the track, if he first thinks about revenge at this time, and it is in the case of damage to the rear wing of the car, it is to give Montoya a chance.
In competitive events, only the winner has the right to speak and humiliate the opponent freely.
Since I can surpass you, I will definitely be able to stop you, even if the tail wing is damaged!
Montoya, recognize the reality well, you are my Zhang Yifei's defeated general!
At this moment, Zhang Yifei had completely regarded Montoya as an enemy, and he would not give the other party any chance.
Inside the Prost pit pit, hearing Zhang Yifei's reply, Corell didn't say anything more. Because he knows that Zhang Yifei is serious, once this kid completely breaks out, he may not be able to surpass his opponent with a damaged tail, but Korcel believes that he can block anyone, including Schumacher!
Zhang Yifei is also a defensive master under the aggressive offensive appearance, because he always follows the concept of becoming the best driver in the world, that is, he can't let himself have any shortcomings!
The thirty-first lap of the race can be said to be the most difficult lap for Zhang Yifei so far.
The rear car Montoya can clearly see the damage to the rear wing of Zhang Yifei's racing car, and with his strength and experience, it is definitely not difficult to conclude that Zhang Yifei's control is affected.
According to the usual practice, this damage will enter the pit station to replace the rear wing, but it has just passed the entrance of the pit lane, which means that Zhang Yifei wants to pit and must wait until the next lap.
So this circle is the opportunity for him to overtake and come back, and Montoya does not allow himself to fall behind Zhang Yifei!
"Counterattack Montoya, seize this opportunity!"
In the Williams team, the crew members also cheered for Montoya, although many people felt that he was surpassed by Zhang Yifei just now, and felt a little dissatisfied and regretful.
But at this moment, far from the time to decide the outcome of the game, as long as Montoya does not give up, who is the final winner is a suspense!
There is no need to be reminded by the team, Montoya has already launched a furious attack, and Zhang Yifei has also shown his defensive level to the fullest.
Even Schumacher was blocked by me for most of the game before, and even you Montoya wanted to surpass me in one lap, which was a dream!
Every time Montoya overtook the line, Zhang Yifei blocked it just right, and the two cars began to draw crazy dragons on the track. Even if he reduced his speed, Zhang Yifei would not give Montoya the slightest chance.
"Fei Neng also blocked Montoya's crazy attack even though the air kit was damaged, I really didn't expect him to be so strong defensively."
In the McLaren team's pits, the genius designer Adrian Newey sighed that he is a legendary design master of racing in the history of F1, and it can even be said that there is no one.
With his knowledge of aerodynamics, he can naturally understand the difficulty of Zhang Yifei controlling the car at this moment.
Being able to stubbornly block the attack of Indian champion Villeneuve under such difficulty of manipulation is definitely a terrible defensive ability, so he will be amazed.
"That's Korcel's philosophy of play, there are no shortcomings!"
McLaren Racing Captain Ron Dennis, who had worked with Korcel for a few years, was also very familiar with the German professor's racing philosophy. Zhang Yifei showed a tough posture from offense to defense, and it was obvious that he had been specially trained.
"Boss, why didn't you consider poaching Korsell and Fei to McLaren in the first place?"
Nuvey had previously been at McLaren's UK R&D headquarters, and as the design of McLaren's new generation of cars took shape, he took time off to watch the races.
It stands to reason that Korsell was a member of the McLaren team before, and Fei has shown great potential and talent, and he can recruit them to the McLaren team.
It is believed that compared with the Prost team, the advantage of McLaren team is obvious.
Hearing this, Dennis shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't pay attention to the Renault Junior League, and I didn't know that flying would make Korsell pay. By the time I knew, they had already signed with Prost, and it was too late. ”
"However, compared to Williams, who has caught up and has not signed his own team, I believe that the situation on the track at the moment will make him regret it even more."
Ron Dennis teased Sir Williamson, they are old rivals on the track, it doesn't matter if McLaren doesn't sign it, the Williams team got up early in the morning, but rushed to a late set, which is estimated to be much more uncomfortable.
When I think of this, Dennis feels that there are no regrets, after all, there are many things that need to be compared!
On the track, when Zhang Yifei passed Turn 13 again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the maintenance channel was in front of him, and he had gone through the most difficult period.
To be honest, he was really worried just now that Montoya would choose to jump over the wall directly when he couldn't overtake, which would be really troublesome. Thankfully, Montoya still has some sanity left!
Zhang Yifei was right, it was true that at the moment when he couldn't overtake when he was close to the maintenance lane, Montoya had the idea of crashing and dying.
It's just that I've played a trick before, and if I crash maliciously again, I will definitely be investigated after the race, or even cancel the results of the whole year, and it will become a stain on my career that can't be washed away.
I really don't have the confidence to win Zhang Yifei on the track?
Montoya finally asked himself in his heart, that is, relying on the residual self-esteem and pride, he did not break through his last bottom line as a driver in a calm situation.
Driving into the maintenance channel, the pressure on his body plummeted, and a late excitement and joy began to fill Zhang Yifei's heart.
After this stop, I was the first car on the track, experienced cold eyes and ridicule, experienced hard work and sweat, and finally won the first half of the race on this American home track.
The next thing to do is to take control of the second half of the race and become the true winner of the US Grand Prix. Let these Yankees see how the Indy champions they admire, the Indy programs they are proud of, were completely conquered by a Chinese driver!
