Chapter 206: Hockenheim (4)

There is no doubt that the overtaking situation presented from the beginning to the present is definitely a very rare situation in F1 in recent years, especially since such overtaking takes place in the sunny weather of the high-speed Hockenheim circuit, which is even more commendable! You know, overtaking on a good track is more difficult than overtaking on a wet road in the rain! As a result, the crowd is now a bit dizzying, and many fans who come to Hockenheim to watch the race have even forgotten the last time they saw overtaking in person, and there are so many overtaking today......

First up was Barton's wonderful performance at the start! Then it was Raikkonen, who was overtaken by Alonso, who beautifully regained second place in his own hands over the next few laps. Then there was the seemingly somewhat unstoppable Barton's successive overtakes of his teammate Sato and Toyota's Pannis.

And now a wonderful transcendence on the track has once again attracted everyone's attention, that is, Ye Feng's completion of Sato's transcendence! However, when everyone was still preparing to savor the excitement of Ye Feng using the shorter turning radius to squeeze Sato onto the outside road, another overtake occurred on the track!

It's Barton again! The British driver of the Anglo-American team is in terrible form today! Just as Barrichello, who was in need of urgent repairs, was showing signs of a pit stop, Barton quickly completed a lap record for the race before narrowly enough to pass the Brazilian before he could get out. Thus Barton went one more place and became seventh! It is possible to maintain such an overtaking frequency even in the starting phase. Barton's performance was enough to amaze everyone, as for the other drivers on the track at this time. They were all instantly compared to the indomitable momentum of the British......

......

Although he went through twists and turns, Ye Feng, who surpassed Takuma Sato, only regained the tenth position he had at the start. Now he naturally wants to overtake Panis and Barrichello in front of him as soon as possible, but first he has to catch up the distance between himself and the group in front of him under Sato's suppression. The race has started nearly 10 laps, and from the beginning, the intensity and difficulty of the race far exceeded the two races that Ye Feng had participated in before. In a sense, the more you run in F1, the more options you have. At this time, Ye Feng couldn't think about how many drivers he had before waiting for him to overtake. Because if it was as difficult as surpassing Takuma Sato, Ye Feng would definitely collapse directly on the track if he wanted to stand on the podium! However, it was at this time that a turning point appeared.

Almost without warning, when he overtook Sato and Ye Feng drove the car to the limit in a row and completed a few laps of the race, Ye Feng gradually shortened the distance with the group in front of him, and found that at this time he was directly in front of Barrichello, who had started in seventh place before! Ye Feng didn't know that the Brazilian was not only overtaken by Barton before the pit stop, but also by the French driver Panis after the pit stop due to the heavy load of the car and the low tire temperature.

However, now Lao Ye can be sure. The Brazilian's F2004 was absolutely unable to outrun his FW-26 at this time, which was evident from the fact that the Brazilian was still a little heavy in acceleration after he was already very close to Barrichello. Therefore, Ye Feng, who was already a little anxious, didn't care about what had happened in front of him, and immediately pushed the car further towards the red Ferrari car......

Barrichello soon realised the strong overtaking intent of his rival behind him. He also felt that his heavy fuel car was inferior in speed compared to his opponent. However, the battle-hardened Brazilian didn't want to take a step back, and the race was frustrating enough for Barrichello, who was forced to pit early after being knocked off his front setback and refueled again to reduce one pit stop, and then had to maneuver with a heavier car to his rivals, and was overtaken by Barton and Panis before and after the pit stops. The Ferrari No. 2 driver was clearly in the air at this point. Therefore, in the face of Ye Feng's challenge, Barrichello directly chose to desperately seal the line of the opponent's overtaking......

Soon there was a fierce whirlwind between Ye Feng and Barrichello, one red and one blue, on the track. The blue car clearly dominated the speed and relentless momentum, and anyone could sense the Williams driver's determination to overtake his rivals as quickly as possible. But the red Ferrari is now like a rock in the middle of a storm, beaten by the fierce wind and rain! It's a one-on-one between youth and maturity, leakage and steadyness, speed and defense! The confrontation between the blue fire and the red ice immediately attracted the attention of knowledgeable fans and German TV people at this time

Some people want to see if Ye Feng can get past Barrichello, an opponent who has been strong at the beginning......

In the face of the Brazilian's tight defense like an iron bucket, Ye Feng really released all his energy at this time! There is no doubt that even when he was blocked by Alonso's in the first race, he did not appreciate the pressure of facing Barrichello at this time. It turns out. Schumacher's successive victories were definitely supported by team-mate Barrichello, and the number two driver of Ferrari is definitely a hard worker! At this time, his defense of Ye Feng is also a good interpretation of the necessary tactical literacy of a top No. 2 driver, and the Brazilian's achievements today are not in vain! And now Ye Feng has no way out, if he can't get rid of the opponent's block as soon as possible, then he will face a more severe situation when he will soon enter the pit stop to refuel......

However, now Ye Feng is uncomfortable, and it is not necessarily that Barrichello has felt any better. It's hard to stop a lightly loaded car with a heavy fuel car. And behind Barrichello is the Chinese kid who even Alonso can barely stop, so Barrichello quickly put aside the idea of completely suppressing his opponent, and now in his heart he is trying to deal with his opponent as much as possible, and drag it out for as long as he can......

Finally, before the sharp corner of the farthest corner of the Hockenheim track, the heavy body of F2004 finally allowed Barrichello to waste a little precious time in the process of pointing the front of the car to the center of the corner, and Ye Feng, who was already chasing very close, naturally did not waste such a rare opportunity and overtook the difficult Brazilian in one fell swoop. However, for Barrichello, he didn't have much to lose, because he had firmly blocked Ye Feng by nearly 2 before, which was definitely an incredible achievement! At this time, there were not many laps left for Ye Feng to widen the distance between him and his opponent, and the situation in front of Ye Feng was still extremely grim......

......

Now Ye Feng no longer has the joy of completing the overtaking! Instead, the guy stepped on his gas pedal more thoroughly immediately after overtaking. He has been suppressed by Barrichello for too long, so Ye Feng must take advantage of his speed advantage to catch up and surpass more opponents as soon as possible before making a pit stop. When the severity and difficulty of this competition were really shown in front of Ye Feng, he didn't have any more thoughts to think about other issues. Facts once again proved how wise Senna was to let Ye Feng do it before the game. So the blue FW-26 slashed Ye Feng's indomitable determination and began to roar before making another pit stop......

However, now Ye Feng's distance from his previous Pannis is too huge! And the other party is also lightly loaded with oil. Although Ye Feng is narrowing the gap between the two little by little with the superior speed advantage of Williams racing compared to Toyota racing cars, Michael's voice came from his headphones at this time.

"Leaf! No more adventures! Hurry up and pit stop! Your oil level has reached a very dangerous bottom line! ”

This is really what he is afraid of, Ye Feng deliberately did not think about the problem of oil quantity, but this did not mean that this problem could be avoided by him. Michael's words at this time undoubtedly pierced Lao Ye's heart like a needle.

"Michael, well! I'm making a pit stop! Remember! Give me very little oil this time! I need a longer light oil state! Seeing that he hadn't pulled away from Barrichello at this time to a safe enough distance, and there was a little gap between him and the Pannis in front, Ye Feng, who was helpless, could only follow Michael's advice, but at this time, Ye Feng, who was already completely anxious and excited, still proposed his ideas to the team director, and now he Ye Feng needs nothing more than speed or speed......

"This ...... All right! Leaf! But I have to warn you! Such a temporary change in the pit stop strategy is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing! So now, pit stops! Child! Michael still didn't expect Ye Feng to put forward his own change proposal so resolutely and urgently at this time, but after all, he was not a rookie director, Michael still agreed to Ye Feng at the fastest speed, and now is by no means the time to rip off, and Michael also understands that sometimes drivers can intuitively grasp the rhythm of a race more intuitively than those of them waiting behind the monitor......

As a result, the Williams team, which quickly made a decision, began to be nervously busy from the drivers to the team members, and what is even more coincidental is that at this time, Pannis, who was in front of Ye Feng, also chose to make a pit stop to refuel on this lap as if he had made an appointment with Ye Feng......
