381 Lose Both
Zhang Yifei's tangent overtaking was extremely tough, just like Villeneuve who had crashed before, in a sense, with a huff that wanted to prove himself.
Montoya is similar to Ralph Schumacher's mentality. You can be arrogant, but you are arrogant on my head. If you want to force me to eat, I have no way!
If you can enter the 1 yard, no one will defeat countless opponents, and "Corpses and Blood Seas". The title of Indy 500 World Championship is not something that a newcomer can get. Montoya has no idea of making a line. Instead, he pushed towards Zhang Yifei, trying to squeeze him out of the track.
This kind of scenario is often performed on track 1, and in most cases it ends with a collision between the two sides' cars. Afterwards, both drivers were not convinced and believed that they had the advantage and the responsibility lies with the other party.
If a serious accident occurs and encounters some people with bad tempers, it is not impossible to do it directly.
The earlier the 1st, the greater the possibility of drivers fighting. Once both sides untied their seat belts, they would be filled with old fists on the track. Some even have stronger tempers, let alone being hit, even if you get caught in the circle, you can't help but get out of the car and beat people.
However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer such strifes, and basically disappears after entering the 21st century.
1. Developing towards safety, drivers also develop in the direction of civilization and politeness. This cannot be said to be a bad thing, it can only be said to be a lot less highlights and bloody.
"Fly you have to keep it steady!"
In the maintenance station, the team leader Henry said anxiously, Zhang Yifei is still a newcomer on the track, and facing such strong oppression, he is likely to be squeezed out of the track by the other party.
Not to mention newcomers, even old drivers are often squeezed out of the track.
If you are really squeezed out, even if you don’t turn off the engine and drive it back, it will drop from the previous position to the end, just like Frenzen, who bumped out of the track before. At that time, if you want to recover it again, your hope will be very slim.
After all, Zhang Yifei has already arrived in the points zone. Such tough overtaking is not a wise choice in terms of gains and losses.
The other members of the maintenance station were also nervous, but they couldn't do anything at this time, and they couldn't even issue track instructions.
I can only watch the tough showdown between Zhang Yifei and Montoya on the broadcast screen. If neither side retreats, there may be a scene of losing both sides on this curve.
As expected, Zhang Yifei had already ridden on the shoulder and could not avoid it, so he could only step down the accelerator and continue to overtake the tangent line. Unless Montoya made the line, he could only watch Zhang Yifei overtake from the inner lane. This is absolutely unacceptable for the Indy 500 World Champion.
The two racing cars were getting closer and closer, and the collision inevitably occurred. Zhang Yifei's right rear wheel and the rear wing collided with the left front wheel of Montoya racing and the front wing. Carbon fiber products such as the tail wing and the fixed wind wing soon appeared after the collision, and the aerodynamic balance of the entire racing car was broken.
But this is not serious. The collision between the tires and the wheel hub caused both racing cars to shake violently and then quickly bounced away. Zhang Yifei was not sure about what happened in Montoya, but he felt that the stability and control of his racing car had become extremely difficult. It was obvious that this collision affected the dynamic balance of the tires.
Fortunately, the speed of the collision was reduced to below 200/. Moreover, Montoya was not a rookie. She didn't choose the stupid way to hit her quickly, but instead pressed her slowly, trying to squeeze Zhang Yifei out.
So this impact only occurs in an instant, and the car is bounced away by the reaction force, which does not cause the previous serious accidents between Villeneuve and Ralph Schumacher.
But even so, Zhang Yifei and Montoya are not feeling well at the moment. The aerodynamic kits and suspension stability systems of the two cars have problems to varying degrees, and it is another scene of losing both sides.
"It's over! Zhang Yifei surpassed the Indy 500 World Championship!"
"I'm right, Zhang Yifei surpassed Montoya. Did he come to the fourth ranking?"
"The first race, and it was a debut. I came to the fourth ranking before 20 laps. I really have the chance to hit the podium!"
"!So awesome!"
"We are worthy of being the strongest driver in China, and we will also be a world-class top driver!"
The Chinese audience in the stands were so excited. Many of them came to the competition, but they just had the mentality of simply supporting Chinese drivers. Especially those who are real car fans, who are more familiar with 1 racing, do not have too high expectations in their hearts.
But everything that happened on the track hit their expected upper limit again and again. Everyone dared not imagine that Zhang Yifei could rise against the trend in the main competition and reached the fourth place.
This ranking is undoubtedly a stimulus to the ambitions of Zhang Yifei's supporters on the scene. They have already reached the fourth position, so why not hit the podium?
At the same time, Zhang Yifei's surpassing also stimulated the hearts of many audiences on the scene, especially those white Australians who looked down on Chinese drivers. They could not accept it at all. A world champion of Indy 500 and with some performance advantages in racing, could he be super strongly tangently by Chinese drivers?
"!Montoya isn't Indy 500 champion? Why can't even Chinese people run away?"
"Montoya is just like Villeneuve before, the so-called Indy 500 world champions are all a group of S!"
"It seems that the Chinese boy is about to hit the podium, which is simply unacceptable!"
"The schedule is not over halfway. If Zhang Yifei can stand on the podium, eat my wheels!"
All kinds of angry shouts and scolding sounded. In addition to targeting Zhang Yifei, there were many people who thought that Montoya was so delicious that she could be overtaken by Zhang Yifei.
This kind of yelling and scolding at Montoya naturally caused dissatisfaction among many Colombian fans at the scene. It is normal for both losses and losses on the track. Didn’t Montoya surpass the driver before?
However, the insults and ridicule against Montoya is something that Colombian car fans cannot accept. After all, Montoya is now considered a national-level driver in Colombia, and many people regard him as an idol and hero.
Even if it is really not performing well, it is Colombia's own business, and it is not your Australian audience to mock it. So the counterattack sounds began to sound, and with the violent engine noise on the track, the entire Albert Park was simply noisy.
This situation can be said to be something that many people would never have imagined before the race, and there has not been such a gunpowder-filled opening game on the track for many years. It can only be said that these newcomers this year are all very famous and have sufficient influence, which will trigger the atmosphere of the audience.
The scolding in the stands was just a few words, and the scene on the track completely attracted the audience's attention.
The collision between Zhang Yifei and Montoya caused the two cars to be damaged to varying degrees. The subsequent acceleration and cornering control were greatly affected, so the speed naturally slowed down.
At this moment, a McLaren car with the number 7 was at an extremely fast speed, surpassing Zhang Yifei and Montoya who had a collision and came to the leading position.
There is no doubt that the only one who can overtake at the first time at this moment is Kimi Raikkonen, the super newcomer from McLaren, who followed closely behind Zhang Yifei!
"Finnish Iceman" witnessed several overtakings and being overtaken from the beginning of the game, but from the beginning to the end, he was tightly pressed by Zhang Yifei on the driver. It can be said that Zhang Yifei even relaxed his defense against other drivers and paid full attention to Kimi.
He was crushed for more than ten laps in a row, but he still had to compete with him for the title of super newcomer, which was not easy to put on anyone. However, Kimi Raikkonen did not have the impulse and recklessness of many newcomers. He kept biting Zhang Yifei tightly and looking for a better opportunity to overtake.
You should know that in the 1st paddock in the future, Kimi's overtaking talent reached a consensus, and his wonderful overtaking scenes can be seen in many events.
"Youth Lai" suppresses those uneasy thoughts in his heart and looks for the best opportunity. On this point, the radical Zhang Yifei and the now proud Montoya are obviously not as calm as Kimi.
So the two of them faced each other on the curve gave Kimi an excellent opportunity to overtake. How could this overtake opportunity be missed for Kimi, who is talented?
So this scene appeared on the track. Before the audience could come up with a result of the previous wonderful showdown, they found that Kimi Raikkonen surpassed the two drivers in front. In an instant, the audience in the stands looked at all in amazement. It can only be said that the track changes rapidly, and no one could predict what will happen in the next second!
"Fly, get ready to enter the station!"
Kossel's voice came from his headphones. Even if there was no fault data transmitted from the racing sensor, he could see that there was a problem with Zhang Yifei's racing control. Kossel originally planned to run to lap 18 before starting his first entry, but now he has to be a little earlier.
Fortunately, this has little impact on the strategies formulated before the game, because the first entry time of the three-stage tactic is placed in the range of 1518 laps. One lap earlier and one lap later are within the acceptable range.
If the collision between Zhang Yifei and Montoya occurs after entering the station, it will be a very troublesome thing, which will completely disrupt the pre-race entry strategy and greatly affect the competition time.
"clear."
Zhang Yifei replied briefly, and after he was about to arrive at the station, he drove the car into the repair channel.
However, after driving for hundreds of meters, the sequelae of the collision became more and more serious, and you could even feel the whole car shaking. In order to avoid being stuck on the track before entering the station, Zhang Yifei was forced to slow down, otherwise the wheels would have to shake off.
Compared with Zhang Yifei, Montoya is even worse. The front wheel he hits not only has a suspension, but also a steering mechanism, which brings more serious control impact.
If Montoya doesn't want to be forced to withdraw from the race, he has to drive slower. This "snail" speed will naturally be caught up by Hydefield behind him.
