282 Choose to admit defeat

"A wonderful scene appeared on the track. The third-ranked Chinese driver Fei finally couldn't resist the throbbing of surpassing and launched an attack on Kubica again."

"We all know that these two drivers had a fierce head-on confrontation on the track, which ended with Kubica's failure. Now the same scene is happening again. I wonder if the ending of this time will change?"

"I delayed my brake point before flying into the corner, and forced overtake Kubica when entering the corner. But this is not a real success, because the speed of flying into the corner is obviously too fast, and the brake point that is too delayed makes it impossible for him to go through the corner normally. This is a very dangerous move!"

Red did not think that Zhang Yifei's overtaking into the corner was considered a success. After all, he forced himself to overtake into the corner, which is similar to drinking poison to quench thirst.

This kind of transcendence does not mean how strong you are or how fast you are. Instead, others slow down and follow the normal route to give you the chance to overtake.

Overtaking overtakes is the result of rushing out of the track, so before going out of the corner, these are not considered as transcendence, but just an adventure.

However, after Red finished saying this, Zhang Yifei on the track used his actions to prove that what Red said was wrong.

At this time, Zhang Yifei rode on the shoulder of the road. The slippage that often appeared on the Silverstone track did not happen. His car passed through the vale corner very smoothly, completely completing his surpassing Kubica, and came to the second position in the track!

This extremely smooth turn scene made Red a little stunned. Before Markina suddenly rushed out of the curve, he had already felt like he was destined to be born.

Now Zhang Yifei rides on the shoulder to turn, and with the characteristics of the Silverstone track, there is nothing wrong with it. Could it be that there is really God's blessing in this world, so is the luck of Chinese rider Fei so good?

"Beautiful! This is Fei's strength!"

"Come on Zhang Yifei, come on, and surpass Dixon in one go!"

"Who dares to question Fei's strength? Come out!"

"Zhang Yifei deserves his reputation for entering F1, no one can fight with Renault European Cup!"

Now Zhang Yifei's fans were sensational and felt proud.

Didn’t you question Fei’s strength and his control in the qualifying match before? Now Fei is going to use his overtakes again and again to tell you that he is the king of Renault!

Seeing this scene, many people who questioned and distrusted Zhang Yifei before became silent. Especially those folk masters and track drivers who thought they were experienced, they didn’t know what to say.

Damn, the shoulders of the Silverstone Raceway are so easy to slip, but there is nothing wrong with the Chinese guy driving it. Then Makina was not so extreme before, and the wheels were slipping and rushed out.

Is this the Chinese guys too lucky or Markina's too bad?

"Don't be too proud too early. Dixon is already far ahead, and it's not that easy to catch up."

"Just luck, I don't believe he will succeed next time."

"If you have the ability, you will slap me in the face, Chinese rookie!"

Some people still spoke up, but their confidence was not as strong as they did at the start of the game.

Kubica looked at Zhang Yifei who was ahead, and his expression was full of shock. He used the help of the road shoulders like this and did not lose control, and there was no sign of slippage.

This situation made Kubica feel that his energy was instantly drained. Zhang Yifei, who had defended for so long, was easily surpassed by him, and eventually failed.

If Kubika chooses again, even if he breaks out of the track, he will not just follow the normal detour route. He knows that the Chinese boy is a fanatical radical, why do he still bet that he dare not do this? Bet that his luck is not so good?

The first time that Zhang Yifei surpassed, he could use carelessness as an excuse. He was surpassed again. Kubica could no longer find any reason. He was a loser.

Kubika, under the helmet, showed a bitter smile on her face at this moment. She did not have the desire to revenge before, nor did she feel unwilling to accept the hostility. At this moment, he completely accepted his fate.

If you lose, the Chinese boy is indeed strong.

...

In the repair station, the team members cheered happily when they saw Zhang Yifei succeed in overtaking.

You should know that before the start of the race, except for Kossel, everyone else was worried. Especially the main maintenance players such as Ah Hu and Yamamoto lost due to racing problems, they would be the blame.

After all, Kossel was only involved in gear ratio adjustment, and the other maintenance steps were not handled by Kossel at all. And as a competition engineer, his responsibilities were not to repair cars, but to formulate tactical strategies. It is not easy to throw this blame on him.

"Feige nb, it seems that he has adapted to the new gearbox."

Ah Hu was the most stressed and was also the happiest. Chen Zhi next to him also nodded and replied: "Yifei did a good job, there is only that Dixon ahead. Beyond him, he will be the champion!"

"But Dixon is not that easy to surpass."

Yamamoto Ukyo followed it and said, "Dixon, he thought that Zhang Yifei's biggest enemy on the track, in a sense, even surpassed Masa who had no aura."

Especially now that Dixon is in the lead, he will definitely do his best and not give Zhang Yifei any chance.

"Youkyo, you have to believe in Brother Fei, he is the God of Car!"

Ahu replied dissatisfiedly, he didn't care about Dixon's strength, and as the number one younger brother, he highlighted a blind trust!

Looking at Ah Hu's childish performance, Yamamoto Ukyo just smiled and did not argue or explain to Ah Hu.

Cosell did not pay attention to these conversations at the repair station, but started a call with Zhang Yifei and said, "I performed very well just now, and I knew to observe the traces on the ground. But Dixon's current lap speed is probably more than 0.2 seconds longer than the track record, so your speed is still not enough."

It is still because of the limitations of technology in this era that the current Renault Formula EV is pushed to the ring screen of the repair station. Kossell at most knows Zhang Yifei's lap speed through the speed tester, and cannot know the lap speed rankings of all drivers on the field in real time.

However, based on Zhang Yifei's lap speed and based on Cosell's experience in the F1 track, Dixon's lap speed in the last two laps can probably surpass the track record by about 0.2 seconds.

Because Zhang Yifei was entangled with Kubika, his lap speed was still a little worse than the track record, so the difference between the two people in a lap may be as many as 0.3 seconds.

Don’t underestimate these 0.3 seconds. In many competitions, this is the time to determine who will be the champion and runner-up. Not to mention that this is just Zhang Yifei’s single lap gap, which accumulates the previous backwards. Cosell predicts that Zhang Yifei will fall between 1.5 seconds and 2 seconds.

This is a relatively big backward. You should know that the primary equation does not have as many tactics as f1. In addition, the difference between the race time and the total number of kilometers, the difference in the total finishing time between drivers is actually not obvious.

2 seconds basically determines the final direction of the championship. If you don’t have particularly strong strength and psychological qualities, or if you don’t make any mistakes in the car ahead, it will be basically difficult to recover.

This is why Kossel finally couldn't help but convey the instructions in the middle, asking Zhang Yifei to surpass Kubica. If he continued to drag like this, according to Dixon's condition, he would not be 2 seconds behind after running a few more laps, but 3 seconds or 4 seconds, and there would be no hope of recovering it.

"I see."

Zhang Yifei on the racing car answered briefly.

When his attention moved from Kubica to Dixon, he realized that he had been dumped so far.

Cosell's previous sentence of not seeing the taillights of the car was really not an exaggeration. Now, if you encounter a 90-degree curve on the track, Zhang Yifei will not see the taillights of the car.

"You have already achieved fast results during the trial run. At the same time, I gave you a track analysis diagram. There is also a set of extreme cornering routing plans. Now it depends on your choice."

This time, Kossel did not help Zhang Yifei make the decision because he would soon become an F1 driver. In the future, the driver will make the final judgment on the track.

Kossel didn't want Zhang Yifei to have independent thinking and develop a habit of dependence. The more important and critical period comes, the more important choice should be handed over to Zhang Yifei.

“I chose to challenge the limit.”

Zhang Yifei made his own choice without any hesitation.

If you don't choose to catch up with Dixon, the game will be ended with the second place. Then Zhang Yifei will get 6 runner-up points, with a total score of 32 points.

Dickson once won the runner-up at Hoganheim. With this championship score, his total points will rise to 16 points.

Renault has three events in the 2000 European Cup. With the momentum brought by this championship, according to Dixon's strength, he may be in an unstoppable state.

Without Zhang Yifei's suppression, as long as he can win another sub-station championship, Dixon has a high probability of surpassing Zhang Yifei's 32 points. Then he will have no chance to lock in the Renault championship in advance.

So Zhang Yifei must win the Silverstone Championships so that his points will reach 36 points, and even if Dixon is second, he will only have 12 points.

The 24-point gap means that Dixon has to take the podium for every event in the future, and he must win two sub-station championships to have the chance to surpass 36 points.

You should know that Masa will return in the next few events, and it is not easy for Dixon to win the sub-station championship. Moreover, this time, if you can be caught up and defeated by Zhang Yifei, it will definitely cause a devastating blow to Dixon's self-confidence.

In this state, if Dixon wants to win two sub-station championships and surpass Zhang Yifei, there is probably only theoretical possibility left.

In addition to these "calculations", there is another more direct reason. That is, as a professional driver, if he is behind and does not want to recover it in a more extreme way, then he is simply ashamed of the four words "professional driver".
