192 Double record breaking

Red said this, and many viewers at the scene thought of the king who was howling in the rain. As the home court of McLaren, many people witnessed the era when the team and Senna reached their peak.

The Rain War made the former generation of car god famous all over the world. Will there be a Rain War master appear today?

I don’t know the answer, and even if it will rain in just over ten minutes, only God knows.

Zhang Yifei was still galloping on the track. He didn't care who his opponent was. He just wanted to run his fastest lap and get the pole position in this qualifying race.

But behind him, there were two racing cars chasing them wildly, namely Suarez and Kubica.

The failure of the previous stop made them sleep on firewood and try to prove themselves at this stop.

In the process of proof, the first enemy they had to defeat was the Chinese driver in front.

Especially Kubika, the "brake" remarks made by Zhang Yifei in an interview were simply the biggest humiliation to Kubika.

A driver, especially a driver who is determined to enter F1, will definitely not tolerate others saying that he is a coward and dare not challenge the limits on the track.

He doesn't know how to brake and get the line, nor does he look at Zhang Yifei's taillights, looking up at him on the podium. So even in the qualifying competition, he wants to surpass Zhang Yifei and let this Chinese boy understand who is looking at the taillights.

But after running five or six laps, Suarez and Kubica felt a sense of despair, that is, Zhang Yifei's speed is getting faster and faster, and there is an indescribable fluency and perfection in both the timing of the brakes or the detours.

At least in Kubica's opinion, Zhang Yifei did not give him any chance to catch up, and there were even two laps behind. Kubica completely simulated Zhang Yifei's route and found that the cornering speed was faster than his previous habits!

How is this possible!

Kubica couldn't believe that everything in front of her was real. If the two of them were evenly matched in the last stop and he would eventually lose.

Then Zhang Yifei's performance in this qualifying match was already perfect, and he did not give him any opportunity to take advantage of. Can this huge improvement in strength be achieved in just half a month?

Kubica couldn't believe that Suarez was the same. How could a Chinese newcomer achieve a perfect improvement in half a month?

Whether they believed it or not, the answer was already in front of them. Zhang Yifei began to show his terrifying strength, proving that his previous podium was not accidental.

The race continued, and the time quickly exceeded twenty minutes. The wind speed on the track became faster and faster, especially the tree-lined avenues in the forest. Due to the trees on both sides, a wind duct was formed, which began to affect the control of the racing car.

Masa, who did not join the battle, asked the team about the fastest lap speed using the call system.

You should know that the fuel consumption is almost the same now, and the tire grip is at its peak, which is basically the time when all drivers compete for the fastest lap speed.

If time goes by again, the tire grip will drop and may not necessarily be faster than the current lap speed.

More importantly, the wind on the track has become stronger and stronger. After passing the tree-lined track in the last lap, Masa has clearly felt the impact on the control. Under this potential risk, the drivers basically won’t choose to play hard in the last few laps, and now it is highly likely that the pole position lap speed can be determined.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei, Cheng Yaojin, came out halfway, and directly broke the track record of Hoganheim Station, which made Masa decide to be serious.

"1 minute 47 seconds 172, also broke the track record of 1 minute 47 seconds 317."

"But the second fastest lap in No. 13 is 1 minute 47 seconds 216. It was just a very small gap with you before, which means that the No. 13 driver ran into 1 minute 46 seconds was not accidental, he is very strong."

The team strategist reminded Masa not to underestimate Zhang Yifei, knowing that he can run into 1 minute and 46 seconds and other lap times can also break the track record. This is definitely a strong opponent.

"I see."

After Masa replied, he focused all his attention on the track. Running into 1 minute and 46 seconds was indeed a terrifying strength, but he would never give up.

You should know that Marseille later became popular in F1, and he was not the kind of crazy driver, and even got a nickname called baby.

However, his driving style was still very pursuing speed in the early days. After all, he had a senior named Senna, who was also a Brazilian. Even if he could not achieve the same radical style, he would at least have the power of role models and would not be afraid of it.

So Masa plans to sprint with all his might, surpass Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed, and regain the pole position of this stop.

Although the strategist of the Massa team is not a race engineer for exclusive drivers, he is also familiar with Massa's personality. He knows that Massa is not the kind of person who admits defeat and will definitely choose to surpass Zhang Yifei.

So he pressed the call button again at this time and reminded Masa: "Now the weather has changed, the wind can significantly affect the handling of the racing car, and the grip of the soft tires has begun to decline. Choosing to exceed the limit in this case is a very dangerous move."

There have been obvious strong winds at the Hoganheim Raceway, especially the wind tunnel effect on the tree-lined section, which greatly increases the difficulty of racing control.

For safety reasons, many drivers have chosen to slow down on the boulevard, and even Zhang Yifei has used all his strength to run the fastest lap in advance.

Otherwise, according to his previous plan, it should be the moment when the oil drops to the lowest level in the last few minutes, which is the time to challenge the fastest lap.

"I know, but I won't give up on pole position."

Massa did not choose to follow the advice of the team strategist. After all, they were all seventeen or eighteen years old, and they all had a kind of youthful and frivolous impulse.

Moreover, there were about five minutes left before the end of the game, and Masa bowed his head and gave in, and he felt that he could not do it.

"be safe."

The team strategist knew this mentality and said nothing else was meaningless, so he could only give a last reminder.

Masa took the floor oil down and only had about three laps left. He planned to make a last try, surpass Zhang Yifei's fastest lap and get the pole position at Hoganheim.

"There are only the last five minutes left in the race, and the wind speed on the track is getting faster and faster, but judging from the current weather conditions, there is little possibility of racing in the rain."

"You can feel the drivers on the track are now starting to slow down. Because of the special structure of the Hoganheim Track's tree-shaded section, it is easy to form a wind tunnel effect, causing the car to lose control at high speed."

"And today the drivers basically use soft tires. As the event comes to an end, the tire wear has become more severe and has passed the peak of grip. With the risk of losing control on the tree-lined track, I believe no drivers will choose to take risks anymore."

Just as Red finished his comments and thought that the qualifying race would enter the final "trash time", he saw a car that was obviously faster and surpassed the previous cars crazily.

"No, not all drivers dare not take risks. No. 3 driver Masa has begun to speed up. Should he compete for pole position in such a harsh track environment?"
