165 Are you really a novice? (2 in 1)
"The Chinese driver has overtaken! He surpassed European kart champion Kubica and was in Turn 1!"
"But the problem now is that the speed reduction is not enough. The high-speed cornering makes the tires of flying racing begin to lack sufficient grip, and the speed reduction also makes the air parts unable to provide enough downforce. Is it said that the racing car will lose control?"
The event host Redd explained in a passionate voice. Many viewers who heard the commentary sound from the headphones looked at Zhang Yifei at Turn 1.
This is a corner at the lowest speed of the Monza Track, and because of the small angle, it is very difficult to control the entry into the corner. Most previous start accidents occurred in Turn 1.
The team members in the P room were also staring at the broadcast screen. Zhang Yifei's starting movements were too fierce. Without the tire temperature completely reaching the working state, there was no need to make such violent overtaking.
If it was not summer now and the temperature of the ground and the air were very high, Zhang Yifei's violent overtaking would be doomed to lose control.
Even Ah Hu, who has always been blind, was nervous at this time. He was a novice in Formula Racing, but he was a veteran in driving. Now he could see that Fei Ge’s dangerous situation is now.
The speedometer numbers on the racing car dropped wildly, from the beginning of 220kh, it quickly dropped to 90kh in just one second.
But the problem is Turn 1. Even if the cornering speed of the F1 event is about 80kh, Zhang Yifei's speed still exceeds too much, and the car inevitably rushed towards the shoulder.
Soon Zhang Yifei crossed the white line of the track with the right front wheel and rode on the shoulder with the diversion line. The suspension could vibrate significantly.
The road shoulder is even outside, and there is a buffering ground for sand and gravel. Once you rush into the sand and gravel, it will be difficult to open it again. Even if it comes out, a lot of time will be wasted.
Inadequate grip makes the car slide sideways, which is very similar to the understeering in street racing that starts pushing the head. Even a 1:1 steering wheel rotation ratio and extremely low chassis suspension cannot avoid the power brought by inertia.
"Yifeijun, keep it steady!"
Junko Takeda felt nervous. She didn't expect Zhang Yifei to fight like this and would force Kubica in Turn 1. This is the European Kart champion, and her strength is already the top one in the Elementary Formula.
Everyone's eyes were on Zhang Yifei's racing car. The right front wheel had already broken through the road shoulder, and half a tire entered the sand and gravel buffer zone.
The high-speed rotating tires drive all kinds of fine sand and gravel to fly, allowing Zhang Yifei to give all kinds of warm "greetings" in the hearts of the racing drivers behind him.
But under this extreme scene, the car finally resumed control and did not continue to rush into the sand and gravel buffer zone. Just as Zhang Yifei felt that the car was stable, he kicked the accelerator again, crazily raised the speed, and the full throttle went out of the corner to compensate for the power loss in the corner.
“good!”
Red praised in his commentary on the Taiwan University that as a professional F1 event commentator, he upholds his professional ethics and treats Zhang Yifei, the Chinese driver, equally.
Zhang Yifei passed by this curve just now, and he forced himself to take Kubica from Kram Athletics. He is a champion driver with European karting qualifications. He really didn't expect a newcomer to be able to start and lead the way, and he surpassed him in Turn 1!
"Just just now, data came from the console. The Chinese driver's speed of turning 1 reached an astonishing 85kh. You should know that the F1 drivers in Monza Track generally only turn around at about 80kh, and the primary formula has been reduced to about 70kh!"
"Although this curve was very thrilling, it has never been a problem for racing. A corner without challenges cannot reflect the driver's pursuit of speed!"
Red spoke quickly and explained the difficulty of Zhang Yifei passing the corner. In his opinion, this corner was already the limit of Formula Elementary Drivers. Even if the champion candidate Masa could not make a better job than Fei.
Could it be that there will be another dark horse in Renault 2000 European Cup this year, just like Kimi in the Renault Series in the UK last year?
However, Red soon denied his thoughts. There was only one genius like Kimi, and there were various other misleading factors. Miracle only belonged to Kimi, and it was too difficult to copy it!
Some viewers wearing headphones also heard Red's commentary. To be honest, many people could see the difficulty of Zhang Yifei's turn.
However, I have long disagree with Chinese drivers. Most people cannot make a fair judgment like Red and agree with Zhang Yifei's strength.
"Chinese drivers are pretty good, but this is just turn 1."
"He almost lost control just now, and luck won't favor the second time."
"Come on Kubica, and then go ahead!"
Zhang Yifei's turn triggered a discussion, but the next scene made the audience even more excited.
Because Zhang Yifei rolled up sand and gravel after passing the corner, the driver behind him suffered. And not only Zhang Yifei wanted to seize the front position, but other drivers also had this idea, which is why Turn 1 is one of the most important highlights of racing.
Other vehicles also squeezed into the corners and wanted to seize the initiative, but this is the only way to the corner. At best, it is already the limit to crossing two racing cars side by side. If the third one goes to the outermost line, it is better to be honest in line behind.
Drivers understand the truth, but who would be the one who queues up to pass the corner?
Originally, accidents were extremely prone to turn 1. The chaos and gravel caused by Zhang Yifei's forced overtaking made many drivers behind him think that Zhang Yifei's No. 13 car would be out of control and avoided it to prevent the fish from getting into trouble.
As a result, Zhang Yifei did not lose control and drove over, but the vehicles behind him were not so lucky, especially the two racing cars that followed Zhang Yifei and Kubika, who collided directly with each other in order to grab the line and dodge. Just like the qualifying race, the accident was even more tragic.
The curve accident made the drivers behind him be forced to slow down and turn around to prevent him from hitting him again. After such trouble, all the drivers behind him were suppressed, and Zhang Yifei was even more angry.
"**, Chinese, will you drive a racing car?"
"It's really terrible for a newbie. I almost crashed."
"I've been strong at the beginning, but Chinese guy, do you think you're Senna? If you have the ability to catch up, you'll be more Masa!"
The drivers who were pushed down their speed were scolded in their hearts, "Can you not be able to follow a Chinese rookie and insist on forcibly overtaking, which slowed down everyone's speed."
They vented all their resentment on Zhang Yifei, without considering that Turn 1 was an overtaking turn. If Zhang Yifei didn't go over, the cars behind would also surpass others, and there was no such thing as queuing on the track.
Or in their subconscious, Chinese newcomers should be honest in their own position and strength, just follow behind and eat exhaust gas, and don’t deserve to overtake!
However, Zhang Yifei himself was not much better. After all, he almost lost control when turning, and the tangent line was not perfect, so it was impossible to achieve the fastest speed.
Even if he surpassed Kubica to the third position, this speed was only relative, not absolute, because the ranking advantages of Masa and Suarez were not affected at all, so Zhang Yifei was getting farther and farther away from their car.
The drivers behind were angry that Zhang Yifei overwhelmed and caused a track accident, but they were happy about track accidents.
The reason is also very simple, that is, an accident in Formula racing is a typical hidden benefit for a dead fellow who is not dead and who is behind the driver.
Because once an accident occurs and blocks the track and affects the normal progress of the race, a safety car will be dispatched to suppress the car. All racing cars must follow the safety car and must not overtake.
In other words, Masa and Suarez, who were far ahead, had to slow down and follow the safety car after the track accident. In this way, the cars that were originally lagging behind would take the opportunity to catch up.
Even if you can't overtake, it's at least much better than not seeing the taillights of the car before, and at least you have returned to the stage of starting rankings.
This is a very disadvantage for leading drivers, and the advantage is nothing, but rules are rules, and any sports event must be carried out on the premise of ensuring safety.
The track safety car pressed the car, causing Zhang Yifei to chase Suarez's car, and Kubica also followed Zhang Yifei immediately.
Just now, being chased by Zhang Yifei and overtaking on the curve made the European champion kart driver extremely frustrated, as if he was humiliated by a colored pen. He was eager to prove himself and overtake Zhang Yifei, so that this Chinese rookie understood what champion strength is!
The accident was cleared on the track very quickly, two accident cars were towed away, and the driver was taken to the medical room for examination.
At this time, the safety car began to give way, and a green flag appeared next to the track, indicating that the obstacles in the track have been cleared and the competition has returned to normal.
Seeing the green flag appear, all the drivers kicked the floor oil directly, and then frantically upgraded to catch up with the front and faced them. Now everyone has finally stood at the starting line again, so of course they have to seize the opportunity.
Kubika is even more crazy than other drivers. He has only one goal in his heart at this moment, which is to surpass Zhang Yifei and save his face. However, Zhang Yifei's movements are also dissatisfied with his defensive route, and he is extremely accurate. He does not give Kubika any chance at all. He can't tell what kind of novice this is.
Is this really a new Chinese person?
Kubika felt Zhang Yifei's defense, and this question arose in her mind, thinking that Zhang Yifei's defensive experience was too experienced and did not give him any chance.
You can understand the delivery of Kubika. This depends on the status and timing. You may put all experiences in the back.
Just like the start of a sprint, a player with poor skills may not necessarily have a slower start time than the ones who are more powerful.
Take Bolt as an example. His sprint has reached the point where Dugu Qiubai lost, but in fact his starting reaction has never been very top-notch. The advantage in the first half is not obvious, and the stronger one is to exert force in the second half.
The start of Formula racing is occasionally larger than a sprint, because the clutch, accelerator, brake distance of Formula racing is very close, and the pedal is very small, so it is easy to shut down at the start.
Even if you are a veteran, you dare not say that you will crush everyone every time you start. Even if you move a short distance like the maintenance station, the F1 drivers are asked to push the maintenance technicians instead of driving, because the starting and slow speed stages of this car are too difficult to drive.
But defense is different. In addition to technical factors, it is important to pay attention to a driver's experience and whether the opponent will be shaken by his opponent.
In the past few years, Formula events have stipulated that the secondary line changes will be stopped, but in fact only the regulations are written, and there is no such thing as to punish them.
There is no penalty for birds, so there are many snake-shaped defenses in this era, and even caused serious racing accidents. For example, the second change of the line between Melbourne Barrichello caused Ralph to take off directly in the rear car.
It was not until 2011 that Fia spent the entire season before she got the defensive rules of stopping the second line change, and the driver's track competition standards were truly perfected.
Zhang Yifei's defense is perfect. Although there is no malicious snakeskin defense, his positioning is very skillful, making Kubica's surpassing is difficult. This is definitely not an experience that a novice should have.
In fact, it is not just Kubica, but Red, who was commenting on the commentary seat, was surprised. This is not a matter of strength, but an experienced master.
"oh, let's see how flying, his defensive route is very accurate. Kubica tried to overtake several times but was stopped by him. Turn 2 and turn 3 have passed, but Kubica still has no chance. Is this really the level that a new driver should have?"
Red was also suspicious in his heart, but in 1999, not to mention China, there were not even a few top kart events in Asia, so it was impossible for Zhang Yifei to have rich racing experience.
Talent! Red can only think of this word. After all, there are too many Chinese people, so it is not surprising that one or two geniuses appear.
In fact, it is reasonable for them to be shocked. In a sense, Zhang Yifei cannot be regarded as a pure newcomer.
When he ran rally in his previous life, Zhang Yifei also participated in many venue races to make money. Not to mention his driving skills, at least the experience of defensive overtaking is still kept in his mind.
If Zhang Yifei is really regarded as a Chinese rookie, it may cost a lot.
"Yifeijun is really good at defending. I didn't even see it when I was in the youth training base."
Yamamoto Ukyo was also full of surprise. He went from a data analyst at Toyota Youth Training Team to a part-time racing engineer at Zhang Yifei. It is logical that he is the person who is most familiar with Zhang Yifei's driving, but he did not find Zhang Yifei's amazing defensive skills.
"It's normal, because when you are in the youth training base, no one can get to let him defend."
Junko Takeda replied indifferently, and she was also shocked, but she did not think that this was Yamamoto Ukyo's dereliction of duty.
It can only be said that the drivers at Toyota Youth Training Base are too far from Zhang Yifei, and they cannot do anything to show their full strength. Today, Zhang Yifei was able to stand on Renault's European arena and compete with these world's top junior racers, which means that he has surpassed the level of Asian drivers.
"No, I'm not suitable to be a competition engineer."
Yamamoto Ukyo did not agree with Junko Takeda, but said his own thoughts. He, a competition engineer, was just a rush to put it on the shelves, and what he was really good at was data analysis.
The most obvious point is that during the competition, he could give Zhang Yifei very little advice, unlike ordinary race engineers who can discuss tactics with drivers at any time.
Because Yamamoto Ukyo is not very good at playing the competition, many things are talked about on paper, and the stylists are too much talked about by science and engineering. In fact, simple data analysis is more suitable for him, and the competition engineer is a bit difficult.
But now there is no choice. Zhang Yifei has not built a real racing team, or he does not have the ability to build a team yet. With Yamamoto Ukyo’s part-time racing engineer, many individual paid drivers are much stronger.
"Youkyo-kun, you've actually done a good job."
Junko Takeda encouraged her, and she knew that Yamamoto Ukyo was not suitable, but he was already qualified to do so under the premise that he was not suitable.
"Sister Junzi, is Zhang Yifei so powerful when he was at the Toyota Youth Training Base?"
He Ziling naturally heard the conversation between Takeda Junko and the others. Her brother had said before that Zhang Yifei was very powerful and had the possibility of creating miracles.
