380 Who Eats Who?

"What's going on? Why did Montoya go over again?"

"Has Zhang Yifei made any operational mistakes? Can the straight-line acceleration be overtaken by the opponent?"

Hearing this question, a car fan said angrily: "There is no brain-free floor oil when it is accelerated in a straight line. I won't make any mistakes when I change it to it. What other mistakes can the F1 driver make."

"Then why is this happening?"

"You still have to ask, the racing car is bad! The accelerator is about to step into the engine, it is slower than the opponent's car, and the opponent is Williams, one of the three giants!"

The comments represent great dissatisfaction and regret. No one expected that Zhang Yifei would catch up with the more extreme line on the curve, and even had a turn speed ahead of his opponent Montoya.

As a result, in a straight line, the racing performance gap made him unable to expand his lead, and was slowly recovered by Montoya and led again.

"The Chinese rookie performed well, but was not Montoya's opponent."

"Come on, the pride of Colombia, you will become the superstar of F1!"

"The goal of crushing these newcomers and rookies, the Indy 500 world champion should be on the F1 world champion!"

Colombia fans are also extremely fanatical. Montoya is equivalent to the Colombian version of "Liu Xiang" at this moment. As a small country, it also has no basis for formulas. It is naturally highly praised by the whole country to be able to have such a talented driver at the world championship level.

"Yifeijun, hasn't this been more than it?"

Junko Takeda in the repair station said heartbrokenly, and she didn't expect that the victory was in front of her, and she ended up being less than the racing performance.

"What a pity."

Yamamoto Ukyo, who was standing beside her, responded. After all, it is not easy to get an overtaking opportunity when his opponent is not weak. Most events may run dozens of laps before winning a weak opportunity.

If Zhang Yifei's racing performance surpassed Montoya just now, then this time overtaking on the corner would be perfect.

Even if both sides are in a uniform race, before entering the next turn, Zhang Yifei can still surpass Montoya in one fell swoop with the advantage of the route and the rules of Montoya's inability to change lanes to defend.

But all the achievements are successful, and that's a little bit short of it!

Regarding this situation on the track, the old members of the strategy group were much calmer, and even their faces did not change.

They all have years of racing experience and understand that many things are innately different, and they cannot make up for it. They are more clear about the performance of Prost cars than others. It is normal that they cannot compare to the front of the Big Three.

Moreover, this year's JS53 racing has not had any major problems yet, which is already very good. If it were placed on last year's JS51 racing, let alone failing and failing, there is even no chance to surpass it. It is already worthy of being grateful that it can not "stumble" on the track.

And then again, Prost's current racing development level is not as good as the top, but still has more than the bottom. After all, he inherited Ligier's R&D team.

In history, even the year when Prost team went bankrupt, they had to develop prototypes in the new season. This is difficult to do in many private teams. Even some last-distance teams have not had enough time to develop a new racing car and repair it for two years.

There is a gap with Williams, but compared to Minardi, the Jaguars are still not bad, and even surpassed this year's "new army" Toyota.

Therefore, this gap cannot be avoided. Not every team has the ability to make a "Rail Rover". Whether it is a team or a driver himself, you must learn to get used to and adapt.

Zhang Yifei on the track was indeed used to the process of getting used to it. To be honest, he was very angry and unwilling to accept the scene of being overtaken by his opponent.

But what's the use of this? Everyone knows that the Ferrari team is strong, but can everyone enter the Ferrari team? Do you want Schumacher to give way or let Barrichello get out?

Zhang Yifei also knows the development history of the Prost team. The current team and racing situation are at least much better than in history. Complaints about racing performance are meaningless. In fact, this generation of Williams and McLaren racing is just like that, and even Ferrari racing is not considered a "mars rover".

There was a gap in racing, but it was still within the range of technology that could be recovered, so Zhang Yifei took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and even pressed the water pump button on the steering wheel to replenish his moisture.

After Turn 10 passed, Zhang Yifei came to Turn 11 and 12 of the track.

These two bends are combined bends. On the Albert Park track, they are not high-speed bends. The average cornering speed is only about 170km/h.

However, compared with the degrees of these two bends, the cornering speed of 170km/h is actually very fast, and the g value brought is even as high as 3.2.

In other words, when you turn, you will be weighing 3.2 times the weight on your body, and you also need to accurately control the car with a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour in this process, and you will be keenly able to find the fastest detour route to face the opponent's challenge!

So, some ambitious drivers will choose to take the risk of overtaking on these two corners.

Zhang Yifei had no idea of ​​taking risks on these two corners before. After all, he was still a newcomer, and the schedule was 58 laps, so I started to stabilize first.

However, after experiencing the scene of being forced to eat by the opponent just now, even if Zhang Yifei calmed down the unwillingness, the dissatisfaction in his heart could not be erased.

Since there is a gap in the performance of the car in linear acceleration, I can only complete the overtake in the corner, and then use defensive tactics to press Montoya behind his car.

It’s just that these things are easy to think about, but they are extremely difficult to do. Montoya is not a rookie. The strength of the Indy 500 world champion is here. It’s really a bit difficult for Zhang Yifei to eat him on the curve.

However, for a driver, difficulties are things that he must challenge. There are not so many soft persimmons on the track for himself. In the end, he still has to rely on head-on battles to stabilize the peak of the championship!

Zhang Yifei began to approach Montoya again. His actions undoubtedly sent a strong signal, which was to be prepared to overtake.

"Fei is really unwilling to accept it."

Prost sighed, Zhang Yifei's current performance is very similar to Senna back then. No matter what kind of opponent he faces, he will never choose to bow his head and give in and try his best to recover.

But Senna Cheng is stubborn and loses. If he hadn't been unable to tolerate the reluctance of the rising star Schumacher to him, he might not have lost control on the curve.

Cosel listened to Prost's words without any response. He just looked at some sensors on the screen and began to plan Zhang Yifei's entry time.

Whether you can surpass Montoya is no longer Kossel's primary goal. As a competition engineer, Kossel needs to look at the overall arrangement. "This is the advantage of youth. They always have a challenge. Whether they succeed or not, I am optimistic about Fei's state."

Henry responded, and as he said, his eyes fixed on the broadcasting screen on the track.

The director obviously felt Zhang Yifei's desire to attack, so he cut the picture into the car between him and Montoya.

With the delay in brakes and other operations when entering the corner, Zhang Yifei and Montoya entered Turn 11, one in front and one behind, and the distance between the cars on both sides was less than 3 meters away!

The length of an F1 race car is about less than 5 meters, and the distance is not even a body length. It is not an exaggeration to use the word "closely" to describe it.

"Do you still want to challenge me?"

Looking at the blue racing car getting closer and closer in the rearview mirror, Montoya said coldly and a sense of anger arose in his heart.

This is Zhang Yifei's debut, and it is also Montoya's debut. But compared with Zhang Yifei's top ten goals, Montoya's ambition is far more than that. What he wants to do is to surpass his predecessors and enter the f1 paddock as both the Indy 500 champion!

Montoya didn't take the first six points seriously. She made her debut on the podium and was worthy of her Colombian compatriots who supported her behind her and her identity as a Colombian superstar.

So from the beginning to the end, Montoya was disgusted with the so-called newcomer title and was unwilling to compare himself with Zhang Yifei.

But unexpectedly, this Chinese guy was like a dog skin plaster, sticking to himself and overtaken by himself. He was surpassed by himself and overtaken once. He did not recognize the reality and planned to launch a new round of attacks.

This is simply overestimating one's own abilities!

As soon as Montoya got angry, his defense became even tougher. He planned to let Zhang Yifei understand what invincible means!

"Chinese driver Fei and Montoya fought again. The smell of gunpowder between the two of them became stronger and stronger. Even if they were sitting in the commentary room, I could feel the dissatisfaction in their hearts."

"Chase, who do you think will be the winner after this corner?"

"Montoya."

Australian commentator Chez gave the answer without hesitation, without even a tactful statement.

“Why?”

"It's obvious that the Indy 500 champion, Williams driver, these are not comparable to the Chinese newcomers. And now Montoya has obviously tried his best, and he won't give him any chance to fly."

"I agree with you, too."

Brendel agreed, but there was actually not much suspense about this. Montoya was far ahead of Zhang Yifei in all aspects.

However, the scenes on the track are often full of unpredictable. Zhang Yifei used the speed of entering the corner to insert it very hard into Montoya's route, rode on the shoulder and faced the risk of a crash, forcing Montoya to avoid it.
