183 Aggressive style

Yamamoto Ukyo helped Kossel explain, everyone has two sides. Kossel is a relatively kind university professor at the University of Technology Berlin.

But once he reaches the stadium, he is a radical and hot competition engineer.

As someone who has worked with Senna, it can be said that it represents the offensive style of McLaren's team back then.

This is why, after being defeated by the "black technology" racing car designed by Newey, Kossell resolutely chose to withdraw directly from McLaren and return to university to continue to be his professor, which is due to his personality.

Listening to Yamamoto Ukyo's words, Junko Takeda and others looked at each other. At least one thing can be confirmed now, that is, Zhang Yifei will have a hard time in the future.

"The speed of turn 3 is not enough, don't put the accelerator, all the accelerators go over!"

Kossel didn't care about what others were saying, and he focused all on the track.

Now he is actually not even a "temporary" competition engineer, so he can only be said to be a guest player.

But as long as you have this identity, you must serve the drivers in full and improve their speed. Kossel is very responsible.

"Cosell, I watched the video of the F1 driver. Turn 3 has empty throttle, and the full throttle really won't rush out of the track?"

"Can Renault's primary Equity speed be the same as Formula One? Riding on the shoulder and passing Turn 3 with all the throttle will make you faster by 0.2 seconds."

"knew."

Zhang Yifei did not choose to argue or refute. Kossell's control over McLaren's home track is here, and any argument is his own stubbornness.

In this way, before Zhang Yifei could run a kilometer, Cosel's roar came again in his ears.

"There is a problem with the route of Turn 5, which is completely a rookie way to walk. The Hoganheim track is a high-speed track. The secret to winning is to run wildly on the straight road, and the route on the corner must be smooth. You have a big gap!"

Is there any problem with the routing?

Zhang Yifei was really confused by the words. To be honest, what he has always been proud of is his control over the curve.

Because of the different types of racing cars, you cannot apply the car sense and operation method of rally racing to Formula racing.

But the turn routes of any racing event are the same in a sense, that is, to go through the corners and find the fastest turn route.

Zhang Yifei believes that he has two lifetimes of experience and is still better than ordinary Formula drivers in terms of curve tangents. Even future F1 drivers such as Masa and Kubica may not be as good as him at this stage of tracking.

So before, Zhang Yifei had absolute confidence on the curve, but he didn't expect that he would be called a rookie by Cosel, which made him a little unacceptable.

F1 drivers do not need coaches, but Formula drivers still need coaching.

The basic formula tactical strategies are not important. Today, Cosell's words and actions are undoubtedly the responsibility of a coach and teach himself the fastest running method. Even if he is a little dissatisfied, Zhang Yifei chose to hold back and say nothing.

Self-confidence does not mean being arrogant or brainless, unless in extreme cases, respect for coaches is the basic quality of an athlete.

"The tangent line on the left and right of Turn 5 is something that everyone knows about, but the apex point is not the absolute center of the curve, it is just the point closest to the center of the curve."

"Next time after turning 5, the steering wheel will be 3 degrees left and closer to the straight line, and the speed will be faster. More importantly, there will be no risk of being overtaken."

To be honest, Zhang Yifei often didn't notice such a small gap of zero points, zero seconds, or several degrees.

Of course, it is not said that he did not notice at all, but the professional training level in the kart stage is relatively low and cannot reach the professional level of Europe.

Zhang Yifei wants to break through many things, but this time he really doesn't have the strength to do so...

At this stage, Zhang Yifei could only silently remember Kossel's words on every corner.

Wait until the next lap, follow Cosell's reminder and run in a more radical and precise way.

The lap passed quickly, and Zhang Yifei began to adjust his driving habits in the second lap and tried to follow Cosel's guidance in the previous lap.

It’s just that many things are not as simple as saying. To change is a breakthrough in the entire habit, and the accuracy of 0.15 seconds is entirely evaluated based on a feeling, which is commonly known as the sense of car.

In this round, Kossel did not have strict guidance, or even spoke. He just looked at Zhang Yifei's control.

"What's the speed of this lap?"

"1 minute 48 seconds 295"

Yamamoto Ukyo immediately reported Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed. Now there is no need for the team manager Takeda Junko to serve as a temporary data engineer, so Yamamoto Ukyo restored his original intention.

"So what is the record for the Elementary Formula of Hoganheim Track now?"

After all, Kossel has been away from the F1 field for six or seven years. Even if he is familiar with Hoganheim, the once home court of McLaren, he is unlikely to be familiar with the changing things of the annual lap.

Maybe he remembers Formula One very clearly, but to be honest, Kossel didn't take it seriously before.

"The fastest record of primary equations is 1 minute 47 seconds 317."

"A second slow? Too slow!"

When Cosell heard this number, he felt obviously dissatisfied!

For him, the so-called track record of Formula Elementary is used to break. It is a very normal behavior to surpass the fastest lap speed. If you can't break through, you are a rookie!

For example, those top F1 players, karting or formula stages, track records are not a ceiling for them, they are really just as simple as numbers.

Is this slow?

Yamamoto Ukyo actually did not agree with the mentor's statement, but he was not easy to question, so he could only explain from the side.

"Teacher, this is just the second lap. The neutral tire temperature has not reached perfection. And Yifeijun does not have a solid foundation in karting. I believe that if this speed continues, it will definitely be extremely close to it by the main race, and even break the track record."

Compared with Zhang Yifei's previous test run, the speed of the second lap has increased by 2 seconds faster than before!

To be honest, this speed was enough to surprise Yamamoto Ukyoto, but the instructor was completely dissatisfied.

"This is not an excuse. There are too many drivers in history who have not had a long-term kart training foundation and have entered the advanced equation to get results. Why can't others fly?"

"Just because he is a Chinese, he does not have complete basic kart training, so he can be used as a reason, right?"

Kossel did not give Yamamoto Ukyo any face, nor did he give Zhang Yifei any excuses or reasons.

That's right, it was true that before, Junko Takeda or Ukyo Yamamoto, had very low requirements for Zhang Yifei.

Because they knew that Zhang Yifei had a poor foundation and was very good at getting a grade in a short time. He lost too far at the starting line, so how could he ask him to reach the top in one step?

Even Zhang Yifei himself subconsciously thought that he would be happy to win and would not be embarrassing if he lost.

China's automobile industry is backward, the Kart League is incomplete, the driver's sponsorship system is equal to zero, etc. It is actually reasonable to lose, and it is a great win if you win.

It is indeed reasonable in a sense that every driver cannot be required to have the ability to crush his head when he is behind the starting line. Otherwise, those drivers who are ahead of themselves are nothing. Do they not work hard and have no talent?

But Cosell is different. He doesn't have the so-called qualification in his eyes, and his goal is only on the top.

After all, he is a strategist who comes from the top team of F1. If he cannot do as good as a crushing team in the primary equation stage, then there is a high probability that he will never have the hope of entering Formula 1 in this life.

Professional sports are cruel. Being behind is never a reason or excuse, and your opponent will not give in to you because of being behind. So don’t put your mind on your own efforts. Winning is the right way to win, and losing is unreasonable.

Yamamoto Ukyo did not refute the words of the instructor, so he could only stand silently. The standards were different in different goals. The instructor completely required Zhang Yifei according to the F1 driver standards, while he was just following the standards of qualified Formula Elementary Drivers.

There is no right or wrong here, it can only be seen whether Zhang Yifei himself can meet Cosell's standards.

"Fly, I want to see you faster in this lap. Don't dare to step on the accelerator like a woman."

"Remember, a driver is always hitting the limit speed!"

"I see."

Zhang Yifei felt a lot of pressure at this moment. Everything he thought was okay before, but in the end he was worthless in front of Cosell.

He originally thought he was just invited to a seasoned competition engineer to tell himself some track strategies and avoid the hidden dangers of tire blowing due to temperature difference.

Unexpectedly, Cosell's requirements were so high and that Zhang Yifei felt that he could not accomplish it. Can he be faster?

Zhang Yifei himself was not sure about the answer. The only thing he could do was to step on his accelerator in this lap, and take out a posture and mentality of whoever loosened the accelerator and whoever grandson would be.

Some of the late ones, even Zhang Yifei felt a sense of fear. This was a feeling he hadn't experienced for a long time. What does it mean to operate on the edge of losing control forever? It's now!

"The No. 7 Ejipi bend uses 3rd gear and 140 passes through, so don't cut it to 2nd gear. This way, the acceleration of the curve gear is not enough and the opponent will overtake you."

"After the apex point, you will have a full throttle! I heard it clearly. It is a full throttle. Even the speed of the F1 in this track can reach 70% full throttle. A basic Renault, can you not even have a 70% full throttle?"

Cosell's voice was always around Zhang Yifei's ears, and Zhang Yifei's mind was left with only three words "full throttle"!

The reason why Kossel emphasizes the full throttle so much is that this is the Renault series, and all drivers' racing models are unified, and there is no difference in the vehicle.

This is a race that relies purely on driver's skills. If you want to lead others, you can only step on the accelerator longer than your opponent and brake later.

All the improvements are deducted from the brakes at a few seconds, or even the accelerator time.

Zhang Yifei must show all his limits and even take high risks to affect the championship at Hoganheim, otherwise all the confidence before would be empty talk.
