474 Battle of Champions (Chapter 2)

If it was an ordinary person who proposed this kind of dissuasion, Korsell would definitely not be too lazy to explain, and the event instructions of the chief race engineer did not need to be explained to anyone.

Even if it's the boss, you have to wait until after the game to discuss whether the instruction is correct, and what needs to be said during the game is to say the same.

But Ukyo Yamamoto is a student of Kossel, and this kind of affection is beyond ordinary colleague relationships. He also understood that Yamamoto Ukyo was worried about Zhang Yifei, and this way of overtaking was too thrilling.

"Youjing, you have to understand that F1 drivers don't have a so-called safety zone, and if you want to overtake your opponent as fast as possible, you have to take risks, otherwise you can only wait for your opponent to make a mistake."

"But for the top F1 drivers, mistakes are always a very unlikely event, and you can't wait for them. Ralph is not a rookie, and if he catches up and fights, even if Fei eventually wins, he may lose the opportunity to challenge the front drivers, so he must overtake at this point in time. ”

Hearing Coser's words, in fact, Yamamoto Ukyo also understood these truths, but the instructions given by the instructor were speeding for Turn 9, which was a great risk in itself.

And that bend is not a sand and gravel buffer, but a separation wall, which is equivalent to reducing the probability of fault tolerance to zero!

Once this speed is out of control, the car is equivalent to a cannonball hitting the steel plate, the whole car will be shattered, Zhang Yifei has little hope of survival, does he really need to fight so hard?

"Mentor, but the risk is too great!"

"It's because of the high risk that Heidefeld's precautions will be relaxed. Again, there is no safe way to overtake on an F1 track, and the more unexpected you are, the better your chances of success. ”

In the face of Coser's insistence, Ukyo Yamamoto did not continue to speak, this is not the time when a few people were in a small team. Now a professional F1 driver, I am not a member of the strategy team, and I can use my role as a student to give advice to my mentor.

But after the instructor gave an explanation, he couldn't go on to say anything more at the team pit.

Because from this moment on, Korsell is the chief race engineer and a member of the professional team, and after the order is given, there is no room for endless disputes!

Zhang Yifei on the track, after hearing Kossel's instructions, no longer paid attention to how Ralph Schumacher behind him could catch up, and all his attention was on the No. 9 turn in front.

Because Zhang Yifei also understands what kind of risk there is in overtaking from the limit of Turn 9 at this high speed.

It's definitely not as simple as rushing off the track, if you hit the protective wall, you may be gone.

But Zhang Yifei understands better what the consequences will be if he is entangled by Ralph Schumacher in the back. Ralph is no match to be underestimated, let alone former World Champion Willeneuve.

Since he has made a bold statement before the game, he must challenge Barrichello in this fight, otherwise he will be laughed at!

Without too much hesitation, Zhang Yifei increased the strength of the throttle, and when entering Turn 9, the speed was obviously a lot faster than Heidfeld, and the first half of the car directly crossed the rear wheel of the Sauber car, so that Heindfeld did not have the opportunity to continue to change lanes and block the car.

Flying at such a fast speed, isn't he afraid of death?

Heidenfeld naturally knew Zhang Yifei's intention to overtake, but he didn't expect the other party's speed to be so fast, at least around 190km/h, and the normal speed of turning 9 was only 160km/h!

The presence of the protective wall allows the vast majority of riders to adopt a very cautious pace when crossing Turn 9. After all, there is only one life, if it is not a championship battle, it is really not worth it to play for the transcendence of a corner.

And even if it's a championship match, drivers will find ways to put the overtaking spots in safer places as much as possible. Very few people overtook at Turn 9, and few riders dared to use that speed.

So Heindfeld's line is not so extreme, but mainly based on its own smooth cornering.

But Zhang Yifei did it now, and Heidfield could only watch the blue Prost race car pass past him. At this moment, on the other side of Zhang Yifei's body, the distance from the protective wall of the track is almost zero!

That's right, it's zero! Even the protrusion of the carbon fiber shell has been scratched against the protective wall, showing a very fresh scratch. If it weren't for the protective wall wrapped around a protective coating, with a little elasticity, Zhang Yifei's racing carbon fiber shell might have been partially shattered.

With this thrilling and extreme control, Zhang Yifei completed the overtaking of Heidfeld at Turn 9, and then changed lanes to seize his cornering route, officially returning to his fourth position in qualifying, with the fiery Ferrari No. 2 car in front of him!

Seeing Zhang Yifei overtake the past, Ralph Schumacher behind couldn't help but clench the steering wheel angrily.

Is Heidfeld a trash? A dangerous corner like Turn 9 can't stop the Chinese kid from overtaking?

But after the anger, Schumacher Jr. looked at the lines of the two cars in front of him, and thought about it for a while, if he was in Heidfeld's position, could he block Zhang Yifei's overtaking?

Soon an answer that frightened Schumacher Jr. appeared, that is, to change positions, maybe he was also Heidefeld's kind of line, and he couldn't stop Zhang Yifei's desperate overtaking.

It's really not okay to blame Heidenfeld, but after this race, the Chinese driver has obviously adapted to the rhythm of F1 competition, and he has become stronger!

……

β€œNICE! It's so extreme and exciting, and I haven't seen such a wonderful picture on the track for a long time. This is not just a technical problem, but you need to have extremely strong self-confidence in your driving skills before you dare to overtake this kind of wall in the protective wall section. ”

"Now the Brazilian driver Barrichello is flying in front of him, and everyone may not have imagined that Fei can catch up so quickly and make the duel happen again."

Listening to Blundel's explanation, Gonzalez uncharacteristically did not refute and was angry.

Because of Zhang Yifei's performance, it can already be described as terrifying, compared with the first practice match, it is like a different person. Even the fourth lap of qualifying was far from being able to exceed the limits of the race.

After three laps, he was back behind Barrichello, and the distance between the two drivers was not too far. This means that Zhang Yifei's current lap speed is actually not much behind Barrichello.

If it is placed in the practice session, who said that Zhang Yifei's lap time on the Brazilian track is not much slower than Barrichello, it is estimated that he will be ridiculed and ridiculed by everyone.

But when it came time to qualifying, the Brazilian spectators on the track were more of a shock. Zhang Yifei's progress has exceeded everyone's expectations, and he has really reached the same level of lap time as Barrichello.

And now the main stage is not weaker than Barrichello, and the American audience at the scene is more of a silence.

Because Zhang Yifei experienced being blocked by Coulthard's starting block, the Seine bend with Ravl Schumacher, and the extreme overtaking of Heidfeld, it can be said that he caught up after a lot of hard fighting.

In comparison, Barrichello was not hindered except for being surpassed by Montoya. In this case, there is no way to open the gap with Zhang Yifei, which can only show one problem, that is, his lap speed is actually slower than Zhang Yifei!

"What the hell is wrong with Barrichello, it doesn't matter if he is overtaken by Montoya, why can't even the Chinese get rid of the gap?"

"Where's the absolute crushing of the practice match, and did something happen?"

"Brazil is your home and home stadium, don't let us down Barrichello!"

"Come on, Barrichello!"

The Brazilian crowd on the track began to get worried and cheered for Barrichello.

Before the game, they were full of confidence, but they didn't expect it to turn out to be like this, could it be that Brazil's home glory can't be kept?

However, the cheering voices of the Brazilian audience were instantly covered by the chanting of the Colombian audience.

Just at the start of the fifth lap, at the Seine Corner, named after the greatest driver in the Americas, Montoya completed a historic overtake for Schumacher!

Even before turning one, Montoya was very close to Schumacher and showed a ferocious attacking posture. I can't see a newcomer to the track, afraid and timid in the face of the F1 king.

Because Montoya understands that if he wants to redeem the doubts he received in the first two races, then he must use his identity as an Indy world champion to challenge the world king of F1. Only in the battle of the champion can you completely prove your strength!

In fact, Schumacher also sensed Montoya's unstoppable momentum, and he entered the corner to take a defensive line and hold his position. It was only when he underestimated Montoya's decision, and the Colombian driver was extremely decisive in the heart of the corner, and then grabbed the line in the corner, pressed Schumacher strongly, and almost squeezed him off the track.

This decisive, strong and ferocious overtaking move, and it was Schumacher, the strongest driver in F1, instantly caused a sensation on the track, and all Colombian fans stood up and vented their inner joy like crazy.

"I saw it! I finally saw it! The Indy Champion he's back! ”

"This is the real Montoya, the pride of Colombia!"

"An Indy superstar, after all, will become a Formula 1 superstar, Montoya is already unstoppable!"

"Use the championship of Interlagos to wash away the shame of the past, champion Montoya!"

The frantic shout, which can be said to be the Colombian spectator at this moment, ignited the entire track.

And this scene will eventually be remembered by history!
