403 Trajectory Cornering
"Fei's control just now was so exciting, not only did he save the pendulum's car, but he also used this speed to cross the V-bend of the Sepang track!"
"Oh yes! I just thought that Zhang Yifei was going to get out of control, but he actually passed? ”
"Except for the newcomer Senna of the year, I haven't seen such a strong newcomer in the rain battle for so many years, has Fei really never run the track in the rain?"
"Where is he going? China's Donghai International Circuit is still under construction, and at present, the domestic barely international circuit is the Pearl River International Circuit in Guangdong Province. But the standard of that track is still one grade worse than the F1 track! ”
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and Zhang Yifei's sophisticated performance really didn't seem like a level that a newcomer could achieve.
But there is only one Senna, and no one would think that this Chinese newcomer will replicate the miracle of the rain battle when Senna was a newcomer.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei's ability to replicate the miracle of Kimi Raikkonen's "triple jump" has already shocked many people's jaws, and they can't believe that Chinese riders can do it.
If you can still create Senna's rain miracle, how exaggerated would it be, isn't this the first person in F1 in the future?
Now even the "talent theory", the vast majority of people don't agree with it, and the "hard work theory", Zhang Yifei doesn't seem to have this foundation, there is not even an F1 track in China, and there is no direction if you want to work hard.
What's more, Zhang Yifei's current age, he is still a little bit close to becoming an adult, where is the time to hone him?
The name of a talented driver is not uncommon in the F1 paddock, and basically someone who can enter the F1 team as an official driver, who has not held the title of a few talented drivers.
But in fact, there are not many people who can continue the title of talented driver, even Kimi Raikkonen, and there are still many people who question his strength.
So many people don't understand, why can the Chinese newcomers perform so well, is there really a driver comparable to Senna, with amazing talent?
Of course, talent is not clear to explain, and now the audience only sees a very simple fact, that is, Xiong Long is indeed with Zhang Yifei, not a one-grade opponent, and it is not accidental that he was crushed during the winter test!
There are many newcomers in F1 every year, whether they want to admit it or not, people are different from each other, and Zhang Yifei is the best one.
The battle on the track has become suspenseless in the eyes of many people, but it is difficult for Malaysian audiences, especially for the Wu people, who are not very friendly to the Chinese.
"Alex, get rid of the Chinese!"
"Come on Alex, you should be better!"
"Do you want to be despised by Zhang Yifei forever?"
Even some of the more fierce Malay witches, seeing Zhang Yifei's strong pursuit, began to scold even Xiong Long.
"FUCK, how can the home track be easily caught up by Chinese newcomers, is this a collusion between Chinese?"
"Don't embarrass Malaysia, think of your British roots!"
"Think about what you said at the pre-race press conference, going into F1 with Malaysian sponsorship and the way it is now?"
"Don't disgrace Malaysia!"
Sports trolls can be said to exist in any country, but in Malaysia, where the gap between the Wu and Chinese is deeper, the spraying is even more powerful, just like schizophrenia.
In comparison, the Malay-Chinese on the track basically responded with silence. After all, one side is the home driver, and the other side is the home country driver. When they are superior, they are more to cheer for Xiong Long, but they are not hostile to Zhang Yifei, and they will not spray bloodline when they are disadvantaged.
So in this case, they can only choose to be silent, and there are a lot fewer excited voices on the track.
V-shaped bend, Zhang Yifei was also shocked into a cold sweat, coupled with the hot and humid weather of the track, if you take off the racing car fireproof suit, Zhang Yifei's whole person is like being fished out of the water.
To be honest, this bend passed, not to mention that the audience at the scene felt that it was difficult to understand, even Zhang Yifei himself felt that there was a lot of luck.
Even if I have a lot of rally experience in my previous life, I have experienced many times of skidding and route selection in such bad road conditions. But Zhang Yifei has never been in this high-speed state to save the car that is about to get out of control.
Zhang Yifei didn't know whether to say that luck is also part of strength, but it was obvious that in the case just now, strength was really not the decisive factor.
After the V-corner, another long straight on the Sepang circuit followed. There is no special handling skill on this long straight, just press the accelerator to the end, and how fast you go next depends on the absolute performance of the car.
Prost's JS53 car performance is actually not very good, and the proper members of the "Earth Group" are placed in this year's new F1 season, and it is estimated that they are also in the downstream position.
But the Minardi racing car is also not much better, it is half a pound and eight taels like the Prost car driven by Zhang Yifei, it is impossible for Yang Long to get rid of Zhang Yifei by relying on the racing performance of the long straight, not to mention that Zhang Yifei has eaten the wake, and the speed of the rear car is faster.
Looking at the red taillights of the Xiong Long racing car in front of him, Zhang Yifei began to put on the floor oil, wanting to use the "catapult" effect brought by the wake to directly complete the overtaking of Yang Long and end this fight.
Xiong Long's self-confidence has basically been shattered by Zhang Yifei at the moment, and he gradually realized that he is not Zhang Yifei's opponent. But no F1 driver is willing to admit his defeat easily, so in the face of Zhang Yifei's offensive, Xiong Long began to defend strongly, and the two cars began to "draw dragons" on the long straight.
"Don't the Malay riders want to throw in the towel?"
Inside the Jaguar team's pit pits, the race engineer who was watching this battle couldn't help but say a word.
was able to recover a gap of more than a second by Zhang Yifei with a limit corner in a corner, which has already shown the difference in strength between the two sides.
Moreover, at the beginning of the winter test site, many team members have seen the scene of Xiong Long being crushed by Zhang Yifei, and the average speed of Zhang Yifei in a single lap can be more than one second faster than that of Xiong Long.
The gap is so obvious, and this is just a practice match, is it necessary for Yang Long to defend so tenaciously?
"Manager Lauda, I heard that you were already very optimistic about the Chinese drivers at the Renault party, is this true?"
The chief technician also opened his mouth to ask Niki Lauda, because for this period of time, Lauda has been paying attention to Zhang Yifei, and that kind of appreciation is simply beyond words.
It is rumored that Lauda took a fancy to Zhang Yifei, who was still a junior driver at the Renault party, and even talked to him in the past. It's just that this incident is just a rumor, and no one has confirmed it to Lauda. Today, just taking advantage of this opportunity, the chief technician asked casually.
When Niki Lauda heard this question, he only moved the corners of his mouth to show a smile, and the severe burns affected his facial expressions, so it was difficult for him to use expressions to convey his emotions.
However, familiar people can feel the meaning he wants to express through his actions.
Obviously, Lauda didn't deny the rumors, but he didn't want to admit it. After all, the internal struggle of the team is fierce, and even the atmosphere between the drivers is not very good, Zhang Yifei is not the newcomer who waited for an invitation, he is just an opponent on the track.
No matter how much he admires the Chinese newcomer, Lauda, as the manager of the Jaguar team, will not openly express his praise for other drivers in such moments.
The chief technician naturally understood this truth, so he changed the question and said: "Manager Lauda, now that the Malay riders are defending so fiercely, how long do you think it will take to complete the overtake?" ”
"After running the long straight, entering the T2 curve corner, the curve following the braking will become the winner or loser of this duel."
Nicky Lauda directly gave the precise location, that is, Yang Long's "revenge" against Zhang Yifei, which will be decided when he enters the T2 curve after the end of this long straight.
The T2 curve is one of the most exciting overtaking points on the Sepang circuit, with long straights accelerating at speeds of around 300km/h in most cases. At this time, there will be a big arc in front of you, and all the braking lines of the car are in this corner!
You should know that the general step into the corner is to find the braking point before entering the corner, and reduce the speed of the car before entering the corner.
The T2 curve is completely different, all the braking steps are done in the corner, and you have to maintain your speed and tyre grip. It's like a later game called Go-Kart, where some long curved corners have to drift a long distance in it.
After drifting in the game, a black drift route will appear on the ground, and this line is placed in F1, which is called curve following braking in technical terms.
Of course, it is impossible to have the black lines in the game on the F1 track to mark and contrast the drivers.
Therefore, all the operations of cornering must be completed by the driver's own skills, to ensure that one side of the brake slows down and does not rush out of the track, and on the other hand, it is necessary to maintain a certain speed and use a perfect trajectory to pass the corner.
This kind of handling is very difficult, there is not the slightest element of luck, and it is a place to challenge the hard power of the drivers.
If Zhang Yifei's hard power is stronger than that of Yang Long, then he will not miss this curve and follow the brake!
On the straight, Xiong Long's crazy snakeskin line crushed Zhang Yifei behind the car. And Zhang Yifei didn't want to risk a collision to forcibly overtake, he had already put the target point in the T2 arc corner after the straight.
The two cars maintained high speed, one behind the other into the T2 curve. Almost at the speed of entering the corner, Zhang Yifei once again used the slingshot effect to forcibly insert the front of the car from the inner road, and began to seize the turning trajectory of Xiong Long.
In fact, before entering the corner, Xiong Long also knew in his heart that the victory and defeat point would most likely appear in the front corner. It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Yifei would use the speed of the straight to plan to overtake so toughly.
At this time, Xiong Long didn't want to give up his cornering trajectory, so he could only release the brakes and keep squeezing into the inner lane, trying to use his speed to overtake Zhang Yifei and block him behind the car again.
The distance between the two cars is very close, and Zhang Yifei's speed is also not slow, taking advantage of the inside lane, his front of the car has even surpassed Yang Long's cockpit.
Faced with this situation, Xiong Long's blood surged, he gritted his teeth and kicked the accelerator down, not only did not slow down in the T2 arc corner, but also accelerated!
