However, the hard tires used by Ye Feng at the moment are still in the best working condition like in the previous races, but the Chinese Ye, who is in a dominant position, still firmly controls the trend of the game with his good performance.

Although Hamilton, who was behind him, tried to overtake Ye Feng at the beginning of the season with super soft tires as soon as he came up, but under the strong play of the opponent in front of him, Xiao Hei only managed to maintain the gap between the two between 4-5 seconds. But no matter how he accelerates, the gap is small.

Such a situation undoubtedly gives Ye Feng and the Ferrari team more tactical options and design space, and more importantly, under the existing tire rules, if Ye Feng can successfully survive the use of this set of hard tires that are not very easy to use, Ye Feng, who is replaced by super soft tires, will be faster than now, and Hamilton will have no chance to overtake at that time. And the leading position also allows Scuderia Ferrari to calmly design a perfect pit stop strategy for Ye Feng, which can ensure that he has a very "clean" acceleration space after leaving the pit.

On the other hand, Hamilton is a little passive, first of all, he now uses super soft tires at the beginning, although the F1 tires can be mixed and matched, and it is completely possible to use hard and soft tires together to ensure a certain balance, but his second set of tires must be slower than the current set. And as the backward side, Hamilton's pit stop strategy must be designed by keeping an eye on Ye Feng in front, so in such a relatively passive tactical setting, sometimes it is difficult to control that you can have a very "clean" pit space after entering the pit stop when you have to make a pit stop......

That's why all racers try to get pole position in qualifying, and a good starting order largely determines the difficulty of a race. There are a lot of classic comebacks in F1. But the more races tend to be the ones who win the races with better starting positions. Sometimes there is a lot of pressure on people to take the lead, but that's just for the average driver, as long as the real top players hold the pole position, the victory is usually not far from the ten.

And, judging from today's debut at the Valencia circuit, although it is a very fast track designed to be very fast, it is still very difficult to overtake here, because the track is fast because it has a lot of high-speed corners that allow the car to be at high speed most of the time. High-speed circuits, which have long been known for their overtaking opportunities, tend to have a lot of long straights and a mix of high and low speeds. On the one hand, a long straight track can be more conducive to overtaking by drivers who have a speed advantage. On the other hand, a mix of high and low speed corners allows for more skilled cornering riders to show off.

It was clear that the Valencia circuit boasted a number of short straights and complex high-speed corners were a fatal lure for overtaking. At the same time, it is so unattainable.

However, it is precisely because of the high-speed nature of this track that Lao Ye, who has always liked speed, is particularly happy today. It's a corner where you can make the most of your car's speed potential, while also challenging the driver's ability to control the car for long periods of time at high speeds.

In the fifteenth lap of the race, Ye Feng took the lead in the pit. This pit stop took 9.9.The ground of use is still the hard tyre that seems to work well so far. Ye Feng's choice to pit first undoubtedly gave Dennis's team a question, that is, Ye Feng's pit stop this time was simply because of lack of fuel. Or is it just because this pit stop is calculated to be the most reasonable timing.

Clearly, this is a very intriguing question that McLaren will have to be sure of, as it will directly determine the strategy to be adopted for Hamilton's upcoming stop. And once there is a mistake in the judgment of Ye Feng's fuel load at the moment before the pit stop, the result is likely to be catastrophic.

"I bet you Ye Feng can't have such a fast speed under the previous heavy load, so this time Hamilton can't use the risky tactics of short pit stops and three stops, let everyone prepare, let Hamilton pit stop after one lap, the first set of refueling plan!"

After a little thought, Dennis made a decisive choice.

And if he is now sure of the opposite fact, that is to say, if he believes that Ye Feng still has gas in the fuel tank before the pit stop, then Ye Feng, who took 9.1 seconds just now, now has the same weight as an empty car plus 11-12 heavy cars! Now, it would have been better to have Hamilton make a super short pit stop and continue to risk his opponents on the soft tyres. But now Dennis is sure that Ye Feng mainly makes passive pit stops after running out of fuel. So Ye Feng's current racing car is not heavy enough to become a burden, if he takes the risk of adopting the three-stop tactic and in case not

If you outdo each other, then it will give Hamilton an extra time. Therefore, under such judgment, a relatively more safe strategy is adopted. It was the right choice to save the final battle for the second pit stop......

After Ye Feng made a pit stop, Hamilton followed him. Xiao Hei took 8.9 seconds, which is about the same as Ye Feng's. The cunning Dennis did guess well, in order to ensure yesterday's pole position, Ye Feng did pit just now mainly because of the lack of fuel.

But guess right, so what? Hamilton didn't help Ye Feng when the weight of the two cars was about the same just now, but it was stretched to a gap of nearly 5? And even if Hamilton has the advantage that he can make a second pit stop later, Ye Feng will undoubtedly run faster than now after changing to soft tyres in the second pit stop.

Now the focus of the problem is clear, the balance of the race is that Hamilton in the few laps after Ye Feng pit for a while, he himself has not yet made a pit stop to recover the disadvantage of nearly a second behind Ye Feng before, to ensure that he is ahead of Ye Feng after the second pit stop. With no way to settle the battle with a regular overtake, this was arguably Hamilton's only chance to turn the tables around. For Ye Feng, the problem is relatively simple, that is, to run as fast as possible in the period before his second pit stop!

So most of the F1 races look boring, with no overtaking, no accidents, just the repetitive motion of the cars in laps and laps. But the audience who really knows how to appreciate the game can understand the competition between the wisdom and strength of the teams and drivers that are hidden in the dull and boring, which is undoubtedly the charm of the sport of racing, and a good race is actually not the kind of accident frequent, thrilling race, nor is it the kind of lone and unique game, like now the two opponents have their own advantages, strategies, and then under a relatively fair comparison, each with their ability to have a peak duel is a really good game... …

……

Through the team's description of Hamilton's pit stops, Ye Feng also knew the thoughts of the main opponent in this race, and knew more deeply where the opportunity to win this race was, as long as he could ensure that he still took the lead after the opponent came out, so Ye Feng now began to accelerate on the track.

In addition to leading the way and having a relatively "clean" track, Ye Feng does not have to worry about the serious consequences of more frequent braking caused by higher speeds to aggravate the wear of the brake discs because the use of brakes on this track with a high average speed is not as harsh as some tracks. And because he is now on hard tyres, he can ride the track more confidently than on soft tyres, without worrying too much about his speed being affected in the laps leading up to his second pit stop due to severe tyre wear or potential punctures.

So under Ye Feng's full acceleration in the next period of time, even if Hamilton behind him also worked hard to accelerate, even if he used ultra-soft tires that were faster than Ye Feng's hard tires, Lao Ye, who was in the lead, still widened the gap between the two by about 1.5 seconds after fifteen laps, and now the distance is about 6.5 to 7 seconds, don't underestimate this inconspicuous 1.5 seconds, in the case that Hamilton and Ye Feng have about the same amount of oil, such a time gap is almost impossible for Xiao Hei to catch up in two to three laps! Under the current gap, Hamilton and McLaren want to reverse, and the only relatively big possibility is that Hamilton's car has more fuel than everyone expected, which can ensure that Hamilton can make a second pit stop later than Ye Feng......

However, it is clear that this is not possible, and the Silver Arrows, who do not have an advantage in absolute speed, will not be able to overload the race car if they still want to take pole position yesterday.

After running all the way and refreshing the fastest lap of the race for two consecutive laps, Ye Feng finally made a pit stop on lap 37 with a time of 8.5 seconds and switched to super soft tires at the same time. On McLaren's side, Hamilton, who had just refreshed the fastest lap after Ye Feng's pit stop two laps, chose to pit against, although this pit stop took only 7.1 seconds, but this still can't guarantee that Xiao Hei can press in front of Ye Feng when he leaves the pit stop.

Watching Ye Feng, who had changed into super soft tires, stubbornly blocked Hamilton's car on hard tires behind him at the exit of the station, there was finally no suspense in this flat but full of behind-the-scenes competition......

In 2008, 824, on the day when all the Chinese were reluctant to say goodbye to the Olympic Games, Ye Feng finally got his wish and sent a unique "congratulatory gift" to the Olympic Games and his compatriots......
