280 The Destiny Returns
"Oh my God! Markina actually rushed out of the track at Turn 5, which may have been something that no one expected."
"I don't know what happened on the track. It seems that only by waiting for the post-race interview can we know why Makina rushed out of the track."
"But as Makina rushed out of the track, the Chinese driver Fei had already reached the third position. I don't know if this should be said to be lucky or a coincidence, but these did not hinder the rise of the noun of Fei at all, and he had already reached the third position!"
Red explained in a tone of emotion. In fact, he had another thought in his heart, that is, the four words that destiny belonged to.
If Zhang Yifei can win the Silverstone Championship, he will most likely win the European Cup driver title in advance. In addition, in five of the eight games, his winning rate will reach an astonishing 62.5%.
You should know that the Finnish driver Kimi, who was previously called a miracle, only won 13 games in the 23 games he participated in in the Renault British Championship, with a winning rate of 56.
Drivers who can achieve this winning rate and dominance, put aside those subjective malicious comments, Zhang Yifei is undoubtedly called the four words "genius driver" and is destined to enter F1.
Maybe this is fate, otherwise it cannot be explained why Makina drove well and had a beautiful defensive route before, but suddenly rushed out of the track.
Of course, as a race commentator, Red should try his best to abide by a fair and fair attitude and not to be too biased towards any driver.
Destiny can only be his subjective ideas as a believer, and it cannot be explained directly as an argument.
Moreover, for drivers, many people actually don’t accept the so-called destiny, even Zhang Yifei himself. If he hears the so-called destiny, he may be disdainful.
Compared with the so-called destiny of heaven, Zhang Yifei believes more in Eastern Chinese philosophy, that is, man conquers nature!
In fact, it is not that mysterious. It has nothing to do with fate, but just a typical example of thinking too much, thinking that everything is under your control.
As a result, the operation was as fierce as a tiger and turned into two hundred and five!
Of course, if we want to investigate the deeper reason, it is that Zhang Yifei put too much pressure on Makina.
He had never thought about getting rid of or defeating Zhang Yifei. All he thought about was self-protection, how to prevent Zhang Yifei from surpassing him. This kind of mentality of being timid before the battle would be even if he could not surpass Turn 5, he would still surpass Turn 10.
It can only be said that Hoganheim and Manicur won the championship in a row, which established Zhang Yifei's image as a "big devil". Many drivers subconsciously were unwilling to admit that they actually did not have any confidence or confidence in facing Zhang Yifei.
Perhaps the only ones among these drivers are Dixon, Masa and Kubica.
Before the first lap of the main competition was completed, Zhang Yifei arrived at the third position. This overtaking speed was something that many people had never expected before.
It also indirectly proved Zhang Yifei's strength. It was not accidental that he could make amazing controls when facing a gearbox failure in the last stop. So at this time, there were much less doubts about Zhang Yifei in the audience.
In fact, they were also curious in their hearts, that is, whether Zhang Yifei could really surpass all his opponents and win the Silverstone Championships to prove himself.
Currently ranked second on Silverstone, Kubica, who had a holiday with Zhang Yifei. When he was at Monza, as the European Kart champion and Renault's European Cup favorite seed, he enjoyed the attention he received only after Masa.
As a result, at the first turn, he was overwhelmed by Zhang Yifei, who was still unknown at the time and even many people laughed at him in a cold manner, causing an upset in the Silverstone Track.
It is true that at that time, Kubica was careless and did not expect that Zhang Yifei would choose to overtake strongly. But for competitive events, everyone only looked at the results and did not care about how you lost.
So this incident made Kubica's popularity plummet and he received a lot of ridicule. It can be said that this is the eternal pain in Kubica's heart.
However, in the next few events, Zhang Yifei's strength has become stronger and stronger. Not to mention Kubica, even Masa cannot suppress him. It is still the future Indy champion driver Dixon who can barely compete with Zhang Yifei on the track.
In this way, a future F1 driver gradually became a marginal figure. Even though he had entered the top six points, how could the stars compete with the sun and the moon?
Facing Zhang Yifei appeared behind him again, Kubika's heart was filled with a desire for revenge.
In any case, he could not accept that Zhang Yifei would surpass him again!
I have to say that Kubica is still capable, and someone who can win the European kart championship and gain a foothold in F1 in the future is really not a rookie.
Maybe there was a gap between Kubica and Zhang Yifei before, and when they were behind, they could not catch up and face the competition.
But when Kubica was in the lead and he was concentrating on his defensive route, Zhang Yifei really felt a sense of "hard work".
Almost never when he wants to surpass, Kubica's racing car will always appear just right on Zhang Yifei's overtaking route to block his surpassing. If Zhang Yifei chooses to force overtake, riding on the shoulder may not solve the problem, and it requires a buffer zone.
Given the current road conditions of the Silverstone Track, overtaking with the help of a buffer zone is no different from seeking death. Zhang Yifei is very radical, but he is definitely not the kind of reckless man who can't stand it.
Even if the gambler has a psychological outbreak, he must at least have a chance of 50% to bet.
Only crazy people will be on the table.
The second lap, the third lap, the fourth lap... After three consecutive laps, Zhang Yifei did not find any chance to surpass him. Many times the front nose wing of the car was about to cross Kubica's rear wheel, but it was always so bad.
"Brother Zhi, this guy in car No. 22 is a bit strong, Brother Fei can't beat it."
When Ah Hu saw the broadcasting scene on the track, he said with some concern that the gearbox failure of the car had caused him a little shadow. He was really worried that Zhang Yifei would surpass him because of the impact of the gearbox.
"It's normal not to surpass it. The competition has just begun. Don't think that there are a bunch of rookies on the track."
Chen Zhi was still a little calmer and did not think that surpassing was just an unexpected thing. On the contrary, being suppressed by his opponents several laps in the formal competition is a scene that often appears on the track.
"Okay, I hope Brother Fei can go faster, otherwise the boy in front will run further and further away."
The boy in front of Ah Hu's mouth is Dixon. His hard power is one of the best among Renault European Cup drivers. If Zhang Yifei hadn't emerged and suppressed him, the original Renault European Cup champion Masa might have been as strong as Dixon in terms of strength.
Now that Zhang Yifei is being held back by Kubica, Dixon will naturally seize this opportunity and try to widen the gap.
However, this gap is not as exaggerated as the first stop of Monza, where Masa is far ahead. The main reason is that Zhang Yifei's speed is too fast and Kubica almost uses extreme speed to suppress Zhang Yifei's overtaking route.
It is precisely because the speed difference is not very big, and it is not that easy for Dixon to open the gap. The three of them are basically in the same echelon and are entangled with each other.
"Teacher, I think adapting to the gear ratio of the new gearbox has had a little impact on flying."
Yamamoto Ukyo also stared at the broadcasting scene on the track. As a member of a professional team, he did not only see the surface like Ah Hu, but more of the problem with Zhang Yifei's racing control.
Many times, when switching gears on the curve, Zhang Yifei obviously does not have the smooth feeling of flowing clouds and water when he tried the run before.
However, Zhang Yifei's routing when turning was not at all. This means that it was not affected by the state factor. The only explanation is that the gear ratio of the gearbox makes him inaccurately control the shifting time.
"This is a change that he must adapt to."
Kossel just replied coldly, not taking the problem of the gearbox seriously at all.
Because the gear ratio changes of the gearbox are only considered a problem and difficulty in front of the primary Formula driver. For F1 drivers, these are just a way to adjust.
You should know that the F1 racing cars of this era do not use the most high-end seamless gearbox in later generations, but are still traditional spur gearboxes. The gear shifting mechanism is a drum sequence, rather than a seamless gear shifting mechanism that is completely engaging.
Then, according to the choice of the team, the gears are divided into six-speed or seven-speed. Generally speaking, the team chooses a seven-speed gearbox, but there are exceptions.
For example, in 2005, Renault used a six-speed gearbox, which was one gear less than the conventional racing car's seven-speed gear. The disadvantage is that it suffered a little at high speed, and the advantage is that the gear ratio is different. It can obtain more torque at medium and low speeds and improve the racing acceleration ability.
It was precisely with the cooperation of the six-speed transmission and engine, and Alonso at his peak that Renault won the team and driver championship in 2005, becoming the "yellow lightning" on the track.
Just like the six-speed and seven-speed have their own advantages, in order to adapt to different track characteristics and styles, the F1 team will also adjust the gear ratio for the serial transmission to allow the car to reach faster speeds.
For example, for a multi-bend low-speed track like the Moroccan track, the adjustment direction is to strengthen low torque to facilitate better acceleration. High-speed tracks like Monza focus on the speed of the car.
Therefore, changes in gear ratios are something that every F1 driver must adapt to.
