Chapter 335
Two laps after Hamilton pitted, Ye Feng also chose to pit stops, and in order to save money, he was also very confident in his tires, so he also did not change the tires. After leaving the station, Ye Feng ranked sixth, but there were several opponents in front of him who had not stopped.
Two laps later, Alonso pitted, but surprisingly he did the opposite of the other drivers, pit instead of refueling and simply changing the tyres. It doesn't look like Alonso wants to follow the path that Dennis has laid for him, and he'll continue to take advantage of the light bike to make a last-ditch fight, and as long as he can finish second, the suspense of the title will remain at least theoretically until the final stop.
Also on lap 19, Raikkonen also opted for a pit stop, again without changing wheelsEven though he only used 7.3 seconds to pit stop, he still couldn't hold on to the lead after the pit stop ~ Hamilton overtook again, but the gap between the two narrowed from 7 seconds just now to about 4.
At this time, there was a scene of four drivers from two teams fighting each other in the first group on the track. Raikkonen was desperately chasing Hamilton in front of him, while Alonso wanted to overtake the Chinese in front of him as quickly as possible, which annoyed him every time.
However, it doesn't seem so easy for two guys looking to catch up and overtake to do that. Hamilton naturally wants to do his best to win the whole year in this competition, and Ye Feng will fight his opponent without hesitation, whether from the perspective of the grudge between the two or covering for his teammates.
So, almost from this moment on, the race suddenly became white-hot, and the fierce competition between the two pairs of opponents seemed to evaporate the water on the track!
It was still a little difficult for Raikkonen's side to catch up with Xiao Hei. On the other hand, Ye Feng and Alonso are much more intense. The Spaniards had already chased not far behind Ye Feng at this moment, and they would soon be able to launch a counterattack. And for such a case. Ye Feng also seemed unhurried, he calmly took the line of his car, and was ready to withstand the opponent's attack. For him, this is a game without pressure and baggage, what Ye Feng needs to do now is to play his level wholeheartedly, and he also wants to use this opportunity to test his level of rain battle and the real level of the Spaniard.
The battle began almost immediately. At this moment, Alonso can no longer care about the slippery track, he is determined to give it his all. At the moment, it only makes sense for him to finish in second place or higher. He couldn't tolerate any other rankings.
I saw the silver McLaren racing car scribbled a misty mist and rushed towards Ye Feng's fiery racing field. For a while, Ye Feng was overtaken by Alonso!
However, Ye Feng had already prepared for this, and took advantage of the opportunity that the other party had lost the inside lane in the next corner after overtaking him, and calmly overtook him. Two classic overtakes and anti-overtakes instantly ignited the air throughout the upper track.
Returning to the third position again, Di Ye Feng skillfully widened the distance between the two to a relatively safe distance again. And Alonso rushed too quickly just now, and there was a certain mistake in the car's positioning, so he was quickly pulled up by Ye Feng. This electric exchange between the two came to an end for the time being. All the focus is back on the battle for the top two......
……
"Oh! Oh, my God! We just saw a heads-up between two World Champions! It's so cool! It's so exciting! Oh! Look, the Iceman in front of you is also starting to attack Hamilton! Oh, almost! Almost overtook the Iceman! This game is too intense! Already has us all already boiling! ”
At this moment, Lao Sha's voice was almost hoarse, and just as he was about to explain the duel that had just appeared, Raikkonen had already launched an attack on Hamilton on the next lap, and Hamilton used the body to block the opponent's overtaking route at the most critical moment. only to hold the position in a thrilling way.
The audience who paid attention to the duel between Ye Feng and Alonso just now may not understand how the gap between Xiao Hei and Iceman more than 4 has suddenly disappeared, and the director of the scene has obviously paid attention to this, and soon the TV will continue to give the speed comparison between Xiao Hei and Iceman.
Hamilton's car, which had also made the fastest lap in the first few laps, has suddenly slowed down! Almost every timing point is even 1 second slower than the Iceman!
Such an obvious disadvantage is that no matter what, you can't stop the iceman behind you! So just one lap later, Raikkonen finally got behind Hamilton, who had slowed down a lot, on the straight!
"Ahh Raikkonen completes the transcendence! He did it! We don't yet know what happened to Hamilton's race car! He pitted for the first time without changing the tyres. As far as I can guess, maybe that's exactly what the problem is! But that's just speculation!
But such an accident was really unexpected by us! In fact, every second of this game will bring things we didn't expect!
If the current situation continues, then it is only a matter of time before Hamilton is surpassed by Ye Feng and his teammate Alonso in the back!
Now when everyone thought that the British driver was almost certain to win the championship, the race was in suspense again! Let's all keep our eyes open and see what happens! ”
……
The most anxious person now is probably Alonso. He was lighter than Ye Feng's car. He wants
The only opportunity was to catch up with Ye Feng and Raikkonen and even Han in front of him as soon as possible, but he was blocked by Ye Feng like this
Due to the weight of Ye Feng's car, in fact, the speed of the small group formed by the two of them has lagged behind Raikkonen in front, so it has been left behind a large distance, and it can be said that Ye Feng has done everything he can for the team and his teammates.
It's just that Dennis naturally wouldn't have leaked the news of Hamilton's car breakdown to Alonso at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out of his way to force overtake at any time at the risk of rushing off the track or rear-end collision with his opponents as he is now. Because even if the speed can't go up, he and Ye Feng's car is still approaching Hamilton's slow car little by little.
……
Hamilton was now struggling to control his car, which had very good tyre performance and a very high slide. Being overtaken by Raikkonen so easily just now had already devastated him.
Now he regrets not being able to change a pair of tyres when he made his first pit stop. Otherwise it wouldn't be like this. For now, he had to pit as soon as possible to change his tires. The team was also nervously calculating the best time for him to pit for the laps, and Hamilton had to control the car as much as he could to avoid being overtaken by his rivals, and he had to try to make the car better......
On lap 31, Hamilton was relieved to finally receive the call for a pit stop for the lap, and although it was only two laps before he was overtaken by Raikkonen, the last two laps were undoubtedly the longest journey for him. The performance of the tires has basically fallen to freezing point. All he can do at the moment is to control the car and pit safely......
200…… 150…… Hamilton's car was approaching the entrance to the pits, which made the McLaren crew in the monitor breathe a sigh of relief and tighten their guard.
That's when Hamilton's car suddenly burst off the track and into the gravel next to the track just as it was about to enter the pits! The car was suddenly caught in it, and Hamilton struggled a few times to get the car to move, such an unexpected scene suddenly made everyone who saw this scene stunned for a moment......
After a brief moment, the staff who came quickly around him were nervously pushing the car for him, but it was unsuccessful. Although judging from the rules of the race, even if Blackie's car is pushed out, it has already violated the rules. But under the tense atmosphere at that time, no one, including Xiao Hei, realized this.
After about a minute, the car was still stuck in the gravel, and the Briton finally resigned himself to getting out of the car. Withdraw from the competition.
There was absolutely unimaginable drama that no one could have imagined, and no one could have imagined Hamilton withdrawing from the tournament when he was so close to the World Title. The suspense of the race seems destined to be kept alive at the Brazilian Grand Prix......
……
By this time, the drivers on the track had already learned of the British driver's retirement. This could not help but make Raikkonen and Alonso, the two drivers who have the possibility of winning the title, breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Raikkonen, who was already far ahead, immediately began to run at cruising speed under the instructions of the team, in order to save the car. And make sure the game is finished.
And after hearing Dennis's somewhat frustrated voice inform him of the news, Alonso let out a long sigh! The weight that had made him almost out of breath just now was suddenly wiped out.
As long as that guy retires, everything will still have a chance!
Soon, though, the Spaniard will have to think of trying to move up the rankings a little further in this game. After all, the gap between the second and third is as much as 2! So he didn't care about letting himself take a breath, so he once again launched an attack on Ye Feng in front of him......
For Ye Feng, Hamilton's retirement did not mean much to him. From the moment he heard the news, he thought that the Spaniard behind him would be tempted to try one last time to try for a higher position.
For the character of this old opponent, Ye Feng has almost figured it out. So he also started to run with all his might as soon as possible. Rather than being car-friendly like Raikkonen, his final duty in this race was to block the rivals behind him, which was equivalent to earning two more points for the Iceman......
In the end, under the blockage of Lao Ye's hard work, Alonso couldn't surpass it even if he tried his best. By the final five laps of the race, he seemed to have come to terms with that fact and was starting to cruising at cruising speed, drawing the end to what was a thrilling and unexpected race......
So far, Hamilton is still 100 points because of his retirement, and Alonso, who finished third, is still second with 99 points, but the gap with his teammates has narrowed a lot.
The most incredible is the Iceman Raikkonen, who has accumulated 98 points after winning this tournament! This also means that he, who was originally the least popular, has been. The ranks of the most powerful contenders!
What was originally just a theoretical possibility, with the tenacious efforts of him and his teammates, finally became a real possibility!
