"The Chinese driver is flying overtaking! He overtook the European Karting Champion Kubica, right at Turn 1! ”

"But now the problem is that the speed reduction is not enough, and the high-speed cornering makes the flying car tires start to lack grip, and the reduced speed also makes the air package unable to provide enough downforce, does it mean that the car will get out of control?"

The host of the event, Red, commented in a passionate voice, and many viewers who heard the commentary from the headphones focused on Zhang Yifei at Turn 1.

This is one of the lowest corners at Monza, and because of the small angle, it is very difficult to control the entry into the corner, and most of the starting accidents in the past have occurred at Turn 1.

The team members in the P room were also staring at the broadcast screen, Zhang Yifei's starting action was too intense, and there was no need to make such a violent overtaking move when the tire temperature did not fully reach the working state.

If it is not summer now, and the ground and air temperatures are very high, Zhang Yifei's violent overtaking will be doomed out of control.

Even Ah Hu, who has always been blindly supportive, is nervously watching Zhang Yifei control at this time, he is a novice in formula racing, but he is a veteran in driving, and now he can still see Feige's dangerous situation.

The speedometer number on the car dropped wildly, from 220 km/h to 90 km/h in just one second.

But the problem is that at Turn 1, even if the cornering speed of the F1 race is about 80km/h, Zhang Yifei's speed is still too much, and the car inevitably rushes towards the shoulder.

Soon, Zhang Yifei's right front wheel crossed the white line of the track and rode on the shoulder of the road with the deflector line drawn, and the suspension could visibly feel the vibration.

Outside the shoulder, there is a sand and gravel buffer ground, once you rush into the gravel field, it is difficult to drive out again, and even if it comes out, it will be a waste of time.

The lack of grip keeps the car sliding sideways, much like the understeer in a street car that starts to push the head. Even the 1:1 steering wheel rotation gear ratio and the extremely low chassis suspension cannot avoid the forces brought by inertia.

"Yifei-kun, hold steady!"

Junko Takeda's heart was tightened, she didn't expect Zhang Yifei to fight so hard, and he would eat Kubica at Turn 1. This is the European karting champion, and his strength is already the top in junior formula.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yifei's car, the right front wheel had broken through the shoulder, and the small half of the tire entered the gravel buffer.

The high-speed rotating tires drove all kinds of fine sand and gravel to fly, so that the racers behind gave Zhang Yifei all kinds of cordial "greetings" in their hearts.

But it was also in this extreme scenario that the car finally regained control and did not continue to rush to the gravel buffer. At the moment when Zhang Yifei felt that the car was stable, he stepped on the accelerator again, frantically pulled up the speed, and went out of the corner with full throttle to compensate for the power loss in the corner.

“GOOD！”

Red praised loudly from the commentary platform that, as a professional F1 commentator, he adheres to his work ethic and treats Zhang Yifei, a Chinese driver, equally.

Zhang Yifei's corner just now was so beautiful that he ate Kram Athletic's Kubica, this is the favorite to win the championship, with European karting championship qualifications, I really didn't expect a newcomer to be able to take the lead at the start, and overtook him at Turn 1!

"Just now the console sent data, the speed of the Chinese driver flying the No. 1 turn reached an astonishing 85km/h, you must know that the F1 drivers at the Monza circuit are generally only about 80km/h speed cornering, and the primary formula is reduced to about 70km/h!"

"Although the corner just now is very thrilling, this is never a problem for the car, and the corner without challenge does not reflect the driver's heart of pursuing speed!"

Red's quick explanation of Zhang Yifei's difficulty in passing the corner, in his opinion, this corner just now is already the limit of a junior formula driver, even if it is to let the champion candidate Massa review the operation, it may not be better than flying.

Could it be that at this year's Renault 2000 Euro Cup, there will be another dark horse, just like Kimi in the Renault Series in England last year?

But soon Red denied his idea, there is only one genius like Kimi, and there are all kinds of other factors that go wrong, miracles only belong to Kimi, and it is too difficult to replicate!

Some of the audience who wore headphones at the scene also heard Red's explanation, and to be honest, many people saw the difficulty of Zhang Yifei's cornering.

But in my heart, I have long been disappreciative of Chinese drivers, and most people can't make a fair judgment like Red's and agree with Zhang Yifei's strength.

"The Chinese drivers are not bad, but it's just Turn 1."

"He almost lost control just now, and luck won't favor him a second time."

"Come on Kubica, let's go over!"

Zhang Yifei's corner sparked heated discussions, but the next scene made the audience boil.

Because Zhang Yifei rolled up the sand and gravel around the corner, the riders behind him suffered. And it's not just Zhang Yifei who wants to grab the front position, but the other drivers also want to do this, which is why Turn 1 is one of the most important attractions of the car.

The other cars are also squeezing into the corner, trying to get the first opportunity, but there is only one line of the curve, at best, two cars side by side is the limit, and if the third car takes the outermost line, it is better to line up in the back.

Drivers know that, but who wants to be the one who queues up to get through a corner?

Originally, the No. 1 turn was extremely prone to accidents, and the chaos and gravel caused by Zhang Yifei's forced overtaking made many drivers behind think that Zhang Yifei's No. 13 car was going to get out of control, and they avoided it to prevent it from harming the pond fish.

As a result, Zhang Yifei didn't drive out of control, but the vehicles behind him were not so lucky, especially the two cars that followed Zhang Yifei and Kubica, in order to grab the line and dodge directly collided together, just like the qualifying race, the accident was even more tragic.

Cornering accidents force the drivers behind to slow down and turn corners to prevent themselves from crashing into them again. After such a toss, the speed of all the drivers behind was suppressed, and Zhang Yifei caused even more anger.

"FUCK, Chinese guy, will you drive a racing car!"

"The novice is really scary, and the old man almost crashed."

"Better than Kubica at the start, Chinese guys, do you think you're Senna? Have the ability to catch up and surpass Massa again! ”

The drivers who were slowed down scolded angrily in their hearts, can't a Chinese rookie follow behind, he had to force overtaking, and as a result, he slowed down everyone's speed.

They vented their grievances on Zhang Yifei, without considering that Turn 1 itself is an overtaking corner, Zhang Yifei does not overtake, and the cars behind will also overtake others, and there is no queue on the track.

Or in their subconscious, Chinese newcomers should honestly recognize their identity and strength, just follow behind and eat exhaust, not worthy of overtaking!

However, Zhang Yifei himself is actually not much better, after all, the cornering is almost out of control, and the tangent line is not perfect, so it is impossible to reach the fastest speed.

Even if it is to surpass Kubica to the third position, this kind of speed is only relative, not absolute, because the ranking advantage of Massa and Suarez has not been affected in the slightest and passed the corner early, so Zhang Yifei is getting farther and farther away from them.

The drivers behind were angry that Zhang Yifei overtook and caused the track accident, but they were happy to hear about the track accident.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the accident of the formula car, which is a typical hidden welfare of the dead road friend and the poor road, and the backward driver.

Because in the event of an accident that blocks the track and affects the normal progress of the race, then the safety car will be dispatched to press the car, and all cars must follow behind the safety car and must not overtake.

That is to say, Massa and Suarez, who were far ahead before, were forced to slow down and follow behind the safety car because of the accident on the track, and the safety car appeared in front of them, so that the cars that were lagging behind would take the opportunity to catch up.

Even if you can't overtake, at least it's much better than not being able to see the taillights before, and it's finally back to the stage of qualifying.

This is a disadvantage for the leading drivers, and the advantage can be said to be gone, but the rules are the rules, and any sporting event must be carried out under the premise of ensuring safety.

The track safety car pressed the car, allowing Zhang Yifei to chase after Suarez's car, and Kubica also followed Zhang Yifei closely.

Just now Zhang Yifei started to catch up, coupled with corner overtaking, so that the European champion kart driver was extremely aggrieved, as if he was insulted by a colored pen, he desperately wanted to prove himself, overtake Zhang Yifei, and let this Chinese rookie understand what is called champion strength!

The accident was cleared quickly on the track, the two accident cars were towed, and the driver was taken to the medical room for examination.

At this time, the safety car began to give way, and a green flag appeared next to the track, indicating that the obstacles on the track had been cleared and the race was back to normal.

Seeing the appearance of the green flag, all the drivers went straight to the floor with gas, and then frantically upshifted to catch up with their opponents in front of them. Now that everyone is finally standing on the starting line again, of course, we must seize the opportunity.

Kubika is even crazier than other drivers, and he has only one goal in his heart at the moment, which is to surpass Zhang Yifei and save his face. It's just that Zhang Yifei's actions are also dissatisfied, the defensive line is extremely accurate, and he doesn't give Kubica any chance at all, and he can't see what kind of novice operation this is.

Is this really a newcomer to China?

Kubica felt Zhang Yifei's defense, and this question popped up in his mind, thinking that Zhang Yifei's defensive experience was too old-fashioned, and he didn't give himself any chance at all.

The fast start Kubica can understand, this depends on the state and timing, and the experience may be put a little later.

Just like the start of a sprint, a runner with a little less skill may not have a slower reaction time than a good one.

Take Usain Bolt as an example, his sprinting has reached the point of being alone, but in fact, his starting reaction has never been very top-notch, the advantage in the first half is not obvious, and the stronger is the second half of the force.

The starting point of a formula car is more accidental than a sprint, because the clutch, throttle, and braking distances of formula cars are very close, and the pedals are small, so it is easy to stall at the start.

Even if you are a veteran, you don't dare to say that you crush everyone every time you start, and even move short distances like moving a position in a pit, F1 drivers let the maintenance technicians push, rather than drive, because the car is too difficult to start and drive in the slow phase.

But the defense is different, in addition to the technical factors, it is very important to value the experience of a driver and whether he will be shaken by the opponent.

In the past few years, the rules of formula racing have prohibited secondary line changes, but in fact, only the regulations are written, and there is no written punishment for doing so.

There is no penalty rule, no bird is a bird, so in this era, the serpentine defense is a lot, and even caused serious racing accidents, such as 02 Melbourne Barrichello's second line change caused the rear car Ralph to take off directly.

It wasn't until 2011 that it took the FIA the entire season to get the rules out of the defensive rules prohibiting secondary line changes, and the drivers' track competition norms were truly perfected.

Zhang Yifei's defensive line change is perfect, although there is no malicious snakeskin defense, but the move is very sophisticated, making it difficult for Kubica to surpass, which is definitely not the experience that a novice should have.

In fact, not only Kubica, but also Red, who was in the commentary seat, was surprised, this is not a matter of strength, it is a matter of experience.

"OH, let's see Fei, his defensive line is very accurate, Kubica tried to overtake several times but he stopped him, Turn 2 and Turn 3 have passed, Kubica still doesn't have any chances, is this really the level that a rookie driver should have?"

Red is also suspicious in his heart, but in 99, not to mention China, there are not even a few top karting events in Asia, and it is impossible for Zhang Yifei to have rich racing experience.

Talent! Red can only think of this word, after all, there are too many Chinese, and it is not surprising that one or two geniuses appear.

In fact, their shock is very reasonable, and in a sense, Zhang Yifei cannot be regarded as a pure newcomer.

When he ran rallies in his last life, Zhang Yifei also participated in a lot of field races to make money. I don't talk about the driving skills, but at least the experience of defending and overtaking is still in my mind.

If Zhang Yifei is really regarded as a rookie in China, he may pay a great price.

"Yifeijun's defense is really good, I didn't even see it when I was in the youth training base."

Yamamoto Ukyo is also full of surprise, he has gone from a data analyst of the Toyota youth team to a part-time race engineer for Zhang Yifei, and it stands to reason that he should be the most familiar with Zhang Yifei's driving operation, but he did not find Zhang Yifei's amazing defensive skills.

'It's normal because when you're in the academy, no one can get to the point where you can put him defending.

Junko Takeda replied lightly, she was also shocked in her heart, but she didn't think it was a dereliction of duty on Ukyo Yamamoto.

It can only be said that the drivers of Toyota's youth training base are too far behind Zhang Yifei, and there is no way to force out his full strength. Today, Zhang Yifei can stand on the Renault European stage and compete with these world's top junior racers, which already means that he has surpassed the level of Asian drivers.

"No, I'm not actually suited to be a race engineer."

Yamamoto Ukyo did not agree with Junko Takeda's words, but said what was in his heart, he, the competition engineer, was completely chasing ducks to the shelves, and what he was really good at was data analysis.

The most obvious point is that during the race, he can give Zhang Yifei very little advice, unlike ordinary race engineers who can discuss tactics with drivers at any time.

Because Yamamoto Ukyo himself is not very good at the operation of the event, a lot of things are on paper, and the personality is too science and engineering man to talk much, in fact, simple data analysis is more suitable for him, and the competition engineer is a bit difficult.

But now there is no choice, Zhang Yifei has not built a real racing team, or he does not have the strength to build a team now, there is Yamamoto Ukyo part-time race engineer, and many individual paying drivers are much stronger.

"Youkyo-kun, you've actually done a good job."

Junko Takeda encouraged, she also knew that Yamamoto Ukyo was not suitable, but he was already qualified to do it under the premise that he was not suitable.

"Sister Junzi, when Zhang Yifei was at the Toyota Youth Training Base, was he so powerful?"

He Ziling naturally heard the conversation between Junko Takeda and them, and his brother said before that Zhang Yifei is very powerful and has the possibility of creating miracles.

Now I hear that even the Toyota youth training base has not allowed Zhang Yifei to play his best, is this guy really so powerful?
