Chapter 208: Hockenheim (6)
Kaede is overtaking again!
On the 18th lap of the race, after a series of thrilling chases, Ye Feng once again took advantage of his car's light load to overtake Webb in front of him in the S-shaped continuous bend near the pit stop at the Hockenheimring Circuit! Then there was the Williams driver's spree after snatching sixth place. Although Schumacher was still leading the way on the track at this time, Alonso and others were struggling to catch up behind. But at this time, it was Ye Feng who was constantly making speed records on the track!
F-26 is now ~|in yesterday's decline. And Weber's heavy-duty Jaguar behind Ye Feng was obviously at a disadvantage in such a speed duel, in the fastest laps of Ye Feng after completing the overtaking, Ye Feng was even nearly 1 second faster than Webb on average! And it is this kind of galloping, coupled with the fact that the Australian driver's car is not as powerful and concise as Ye Feng's car when he laps slowly, when Ye Feng's car fuel is once again exhausted on lap 23, Ye Feng has successfully widened the gap to nearly 8 more! And the result of such a gallop also made Ye Feng chase his teammate Montoya, who was far ahead of him, only a few car distances
Now the situation has become a duel between Ye Feng and Montoya, two Williams drivers. From a more objective point of view, Montoya, who only made a pit stop on lap 15, made a pit stop on lap 12 and only used 6.3 seconds to refuel, which was already +|slower. In terms of normal team tactics, Montoya should give way to his teammate Ye Feng. and took on the heavy responsibility of blocking Webber behind Ye Feng. This will give Ye Feng valuable time to further win in his already imminent second pit stop.
However, others may not know about the relationship between the two drivers of the Williams team. But the inside of the Williams team knows all too well. Montoya gave Ye Feng the car? Everyone believed that even now it was Serena Sr. himself who gave the order to the Colombian driver to give way to the car. Montoya, who had already decided to say goodbye to the convoy completely, would never agree to such an order. What's more, Ye Feng and Montoya have a bad personal relationship, and Ye Feng also refused to give Montoya the order to give the car in the first F1 race, so everyone knows that between these two people, not only is it impossible to give up the car under normal circumstances, but it is very likely that there will be a fierce fight between the drivers of the same team in the same room!
"Everyone, get ready! I'm making a pit stop! Mr. Michael, this time I applied for a moderate amount of fuel that could run about 20 laps! "Just when all the members of the Williams team saw a battle of teammates. On the radio, Ye Feng informed everyone that he was about to enter the station. This immediately made Michael and the team members breathe a sigh of relief, and for the time being, there will not be such a situation that makes outsiders see jokes. And because of this, the entire team's pit area began to be busy preparing again, but everyone was thinking about how Ye Feng could have such a big change this time
Ye Feng has changed? Of course not! Especially for Montoya, who had never given him a good face, Lao Ye didn't want to let go of the other party at all. But who told the old leaf tank that the amount of oil in the tank is close to running out again! So where does he have more energy now to deal with the Colombian who is now in his hands against him? Therefore, as soon as he felt that Montoya in front of him had the intention of suppressing his speed, Ye Feng decisively made the decision to pit stop. After all, it was the same car as himself, after all, it was 8 years since Montoya's last pit stop, and Ye Feng didn't have the confidence to mess with this annoying guy in a few laps. Therefore, instead of spending time here with the other party and letting Webb behind him catch up again, it is better to be decisive now.
Because the amount of oil in the tank was too small, Ye Feng's pit stop took about 10 seconds. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Webber, who had just been surpassed by Ye Feng, once again regained the leading position. And taking advantage of Ye Feng's opportunity to load oil, the Australian driver is constantly widening the gap between himself and the other party.
However, Ye Feng did not put too much energy on Sauber at this time, because he knew that the jaguar rider would not be able to hold out for a few laps before he made a pit stop. Therefore, as long as you try your best not to let the other party pull down at this time, then the sixth position will be your own sooner or later. What really made Ye Feng use his brain was still Montoya, who had just shown that he was hindering his overtaking. Although they are teammates on the same team, Lao Ye is not sure how many stops this guy is using, and when he will pit for refueling. So what Ye Feng can do at this time is to make the car that has just come out of the pit stop transition smoothly while maintaining a fast speed
"Ladies and gentlemen, the race has now been 28 laps. At this time, the first phase of a pit stop began on the track one after another. Michael. Schumacher is still firmly in the lead, and the gap between him and Alonso, who is temporarily in second place at this time, is close to 30 seconds ++f2004, which is more than 50 games without conceding |= Mach himself is not wrong. The German Grand Prix will undoubtedly be taken away by Schumacher again! If he wins again, he will have won 11 of the 12 races this season, which is the same as his own record for a single season in 2002!
However, it now looks like another Ferrari driver, Barrichello, is in a bad situation, as the Brazilian was hit by the car in front at the start and broke the front wing, wasting too much time. Barrichello, who has just completed his pit stop, is currently in 10th place, and if he can't score points in this race, then Ferrari's wish to win the Constructors' Championship in Germany in advance may have to wait until the next stop in Budapest!
Behind the king of cars, the battle between Renault driver Alonso and Anglo-American driver Barton was the fiercest at this time, and before. The British driver kept another McLaren, Kurthard, out of the way with a precise pit stop strategy. Amazingly, Barton went from the thirteenth super-league to the current third! It doesn't matter how many places he ends up winning. It's going to be a game that will be remembered for Barton.
Now let's take a look at the situation of Ye Feng, which we Chinese fans are most concerned about! With Webb's second pit stop ahead of him, Ye Feng regained the sixth position! At this time, Ye Feng was ahead of his teammate Montoya at Williams, and the Colombian who started in the first row was overtaken by Raikkonen, Alonso and Barton in succession, and now he was in front of his team-mate. Now I don't know what kind of arrangement the Williams team is making, so that Montoya can continue to attack the forward car? Or give up his leading position to Ye Feng"
Lao Sha took advantage of the relatively calm game to explain the situation on the field to the audience, and his heart, like most Chinese fans, was extremely anxious to look at Ye Feng, who was struggling with Montoya, and he knew that it was estimated that most Chinese fans were expecting the Colombians to hurry up and give way to their leaves. But judging from the current situation. Montoya had no intention of giving way or any sign of coming to the pit stop. Two dark blue Williams cars were just like that on the track
of the stalemate.
As it turns out, Montoya has no intention of taking care of the emotions of Chinese fans at all. He was trying to steer the car and get ahead of it at a faster pace. Looking at his teammates who were getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, Montoya had a strange smile on his lips.
Give the car to that Chinese? Dream on! If you want to surpass Montoya, Ye Feng had better rely on his own ability!
Pit stop now? No kidding! No one else may know it, but Montoya himself knows that he has at least a pit stop on lap 35. Therefore, Montoya, who had decided not to give Ye Feng face, was finishing his race faster and faster, and the Colombian, who had just had enough of the heavy load of his car, was closing the distance with his teammates and approaching McLaren driver Kurthard in front of him
There is no doubt that F1 is an incredibly tough race. In this sport, the physical and mental stress that a driver is under is absolutely unimaginable. At this time, looking at the distance from Montoya in front of him, Lao Ye, who was sitting in the cockpit and constantly plucking the gears, really felt a little tired. From the beginning, this race was so hard, so hard that Ye Feng worked so hard that he still only grabbed a sixth position.
And unlike Barton, who overtook many times in this race, who used his and his opponent's pit stop strategy many times to get overtaking opportunities, Ye Feng's overtaking came more from one-on-one "hard overtaking" on the track, overtaking Sato, overtaking Barrichello, and overtaking Webb for the first time. And this kind of direct duel is undoubtedly a very draining thing for a driver's physical strength and willpower. And when Ye Feng found that the gap between himself and Montoya was widening, a sense of fatigue that he had never felt before still came up. From another point of view, after standing on the podium twice with ease, Ye Feng saw another form of F1 race in another position in this race in Germany. However, it was much more difficult than any game Ye Feng had encountered before. Almost after a fantastic start, the real hardship and cruelty of F1 showed their true colors to the unprepared Ye Feng for a while
Attitude is everything! So even though Ye Feng tried hard to control the car and not let himself be thrown away by Montoya, when the Colombian was 35 laps, the tired Ye Feng was still nearly 20 seconds behind. Such an advantage was enough for Montoya to still block Ye Feng in front of Ye Feng when he left the pit stop after spending 10 seconds of refueling time "leisurely".
"Boy. Do you think it's your limit now? Or do you feel like that's the end of what you can reach? ”
Just when Ye Feng, who had been a little overdrawn because of many fierce and arduous overtaking, was a little dazed and confused in the high-speed Mercedes-Benz, the calm and somewhat distant voice of the car god floated into his heart. Senna's question was so tranquil, he didn't mean to blame Ye Feng at all, he just asked softly, as if a voice in the depths of Lao Ye's heart was asking himself. However, Ye Feng had no answer at this time
"Boy! You should know that there is no end to our lives except death! Nothing but our own will can control our own bodies!
Fatigue, emaciation, and frustration are nothing more than distractions for you and me! They never beat me! Likewise, you shouldn't be crushed by these shameful things!
You! And me! They are all people in this world who live for speed and can die for speed! There is never a word in your or my dictionary to be afraid! I can relate to your tiredness, helplessness, and confusion right now, because I've been through it all the same!
But keep your head up and go ahead and step on your gas pedal fearlessly! Use your soul to harness your own chariot! Use your courage to drive away the doubts in your heart!
Brat! Remember, nothing can conquer you and me! Nothing can stop us from moving forward! No! Never!
As long as we live, we will fight for victory! ”
The words of the car god were nailed to Ye Feng's heart word by word, and the tone that had never been emotionless was so sonorous and powerful at this time. The speaker who once fascinated hundreds of millions of people reappeared in front of Ye Feng at this time, still inspiring Lao Ye with all his childhood dreams and passions, and the unique passion and unrestrainedness in the car god's tone suddenly burned Ye Feng completely at this time, and there was only the unrelenting persistence in his heart that was in the same vein as Senna!
There was almost no hesitation, at this time, Ye Feng, who was re-energized by the car god, dragged the tired ball of light, don't Qinglian inhale the lotus body, and disturb it again! And those heavy arms held the steering wheel firmly in their hands with soreness, like iron tongs! Without half a point of fear, Ye Feng once again launched his own impact towards a faster speed under the condition that his mental and physical strength were overdrawn! And this time the opponent he chose to surpass was himself
On lap 50 after most drivers made their third pit stop, Barton took advantage of Alonso's pit stop to finish another lap and move up to second place, his best result to date.
However, in the eyes of many spectators who are following this race at this time, the focus of Button just now is not the brightest star on the Hockenheimring at this time!
There was not the slightest coldness, there was not the slightest frivolity, but Ye Feng's car was galloping there. Williams' Chinese rider is like that, so everyone can feel his heartfelt desire for speed and victory! At this moment in the game, everyone felt that the traditional game in Ye Feng could no longer be applied to this Chinese kid! Many people have found that just watching this guy drag racing is actually a kind of enjoyment, watching this guy complete every turn with almost tricky and demanding movements again and again, watching this guy constantly wander on the edge of bursting cylinders and speeds, people's nerves seem to be beating with Ye Feng's dance steps
If Hockenheim is a big stage at this time, then the only dancer here at this time is not Schumacher, who is already one step away from victory, nor Barton, who launched a Jedi counterattack, but Ye Feng! Maybe this guy's dance steps at this time are still so young and ignorant, but this is Ye Feng's first solo dance! After breaking the speed record 5 times in a row! Ye Feng's dance steps have reached the end of the highest high-pitched!
And under Ye Feng's play, Montoya and Kurthard's resistance became meaningless. However, the blocking of his teammates and McLaren's No. 2 driver also left Ye Feng without more laps and time to overtake the opponents in front of him after two wonderful overtakes, and was only one step away from the top three in the race
For the first time, Ye Feng failed to make it to the final podium, but this time, he defeated himself for the first time
