410 American Wild
Montoya appeared in the pit area to leave, and this scene made many people unable to understand. Even Yamamoto Ukyoto couldn't help but ask Cosel.
"Mentor, what is Montoya want to do? Is it really a racing failure that failed to start? But logically speaking, his strength as an Indian 500 world champion should not have such low-level mistakes."
The track command center has reported that it was the cause of the failure, which caused Montoya's racing car to fail to start.
However, Yamamoto Ukyo was still very suspicious of this notice. Because the repair time of Williams's team was very short and the warm beads were not over yet, Montoya had already parked in the departure space.
Judging from the repair time, it should be just a very small problem. It is not so serious that it even fails to start.
If it weren't for a racing failure, the operational mistakes would not be in line with Montoya's strength. Is it true that Montoya intends to completely crush Zhang Yifei, so he uses this same starting line method to avoid losing the population after winning?
"What we want to defeat on the track is not an opponent, but everyone. No matter what Montoya thinks, he is just one of the people he wants to win."
Cosel replied lightly, he did not take Montoya's actions to heart. The identity of the opponents on both sides would not change because of the departure location, and the showdown was inevitable after all.
"Teacher, I understand the truth. But if Montoya really did it, then his actions would be too extreme. He might make some dangerous driving actions during the game."
This is what Yamamoto Ukyo is really worried about. He can give up the starting position of the sixth qualifying race and choose the maintenance area to "compete" with Zhang Yifei. This courage and determination are a bit amazing.
Since you have paid such a big price, you will inevitably get more rewards. The crash scene of the practice race is still vivid in your mind. It is difficult to ensure that Montoya will not go to extremes in this state, and Zhang Yifei will be in danger by then.
"In his career, a driver will face various track conditions, and dangerous driving is also one of them. Since Fei chooses to become a professional driver, he needs to face it himself, and no one can help him send all the risks."
Kossel is still calm and composed because this is the fate of a professional driver!
There are actually countless accidents of intentional crashes on the track. Senna has done it, Prost has done it, and Schumacher has done it.
Zhang Yifei is a newcomer to the track, but he will encounter such a thing sooner or later. The drivers are growing up in danger. It is actually not a bad thing to let him feel the malice on the track in advance.
After hearing what the instructor said, Yamamoto Ukyo couldn't say much. This is the difference between 1 and Le Mans endurance race. The competition for 1 is more cruel and fierce. Many times, even if it is a car crash, it is one of the tactical means. You must adapt to this process!
In the repair point departure area, Montoya looked at the Prost car in front with a cold expression. Unlike what others suspected, there was indeed a small problem with the Williamson car that Montoya drove.
However, this problem does not affect the start and operation much. If it is to be repaired when the tire is transferred to the station, the loss will be much smaller than when starting from the maintenance area at this time.
However, Montoya did not choose to change the tire and repair it, but took this opportunity to go to the repair site to set off.
Because of the withdrawal from the Australian station, Zhang Yifei's sarcasm at the post-match cocktail party, and Schumacher's jokes in the lounge before the game, these factors have slightly aggravated Montoya's revenge.
The wildness and radicalness of American drivers also began to be revealed at this moment. Montoya planned to use the toughest way to come to the maintenance channel to crush Zhang Yifei, so that the world can see who is the strongest person on the track!
Zhang Yifei, who was in the car in front, looked at the Williams racing car in the rearview mirror. He didn't know what was going on, nor did he know what Montoya was thinking at the moment.
But from behind, the sound of engine roaring came, and he could feel that Montoya was giving him a letter of war.
Chase me to the pit area and challenge me?
Zhang Yifei's mouth raised slightly, and when he hung up the blank, he kicked the accelerator, responding to Montoya's provocation in a very street manner. You should know that unless the starting time of the event requires speed, it will not hit the accelerator at a neutral time.
This is not to say that the engine cannot withstand these two throttles, but when the racing car is not driving, the engine air inlet does not have enough air volume to dissipate heat to the engine, which can easily cause the engine temperature to be too high.
The race started soon, and no team staff had used wind guns to cool the engine. But whether it was Montoya or Zhang Yifei, they chose to respond to the other party's provocation by slamming the accelerator.
Moreover, before other vehicles on the track started to speed up, the engine sounds of the two racing cars in the pit area attracted everyone's attention.
"Did Montoya have a dispute with Zhang Yifei? He is planning to counterattack Zhang Yifei's overtaking at the Australian station?"
"It must be true. Before the game, the media interviewed Montoya. He said that the Sepang Circuit will prove his strength as a world champion. It seems that he is going to gain power with Fei!"
"It's worthy of being Montoya, the wildest Indy driver in Colombia. It's so tough to chase him to the pit area to provoke him!"
"This is the spirit of racing, drivers should not fall behind!"
"Come on Montoya!"
"Kill Zhang Yifei, Montoya!"
"The pride of Colombia, you are indeed not a coward!"
Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the audience was fanaticism on the track. Originally, Montoya had many supporters of Colombia, but on the Sepang track, his support number was far less than that of Zhang Yifei.
After all, Malaysia has a Chinese foundation in the Asian track, and is close to China, and it is not comparable to Colombia, which has tens of millions of people.
However, because of Xiong Long's track accident, Malaysia's home spectators are now standing opposite Zhang Yifei. The enemy who holds the enemy is a friend mentality, they all support Montoya, and the cheering for a while was deafening.
The five indicator lights on the track began to go out one after another, and the race officially began. For a moment, the roaring sound of the engine resounded through the sky, instantly overshadowing the cheering sounds on the track.
However, it was not time for Zhang Yifei and Montoya to leave at this time. They had to wait until other cars on the track had completely passed before they could get out of the repair passage, which was also to avoid collision accidents.
However, this setting will allow Zhang Yifei and Montoya to fall far behind in the beginning. If you want to catch up with the front, it will be an extremely difficult "Long March".
Seeing racing cars passing by at the exit of the pit area, the green light for departure also lit up. Zhang Yifei directly adjusted the gear to second gear, then stepped on the accelerator and started directly in the second gear!
1 Under normal circumstances, racing cars start in first gear, because the torque in first gear is the largest and the speed is fastest. Moreover, due to the gearbox, racing cars can easily exceed 100 in one gear, which is a level that other civilian vehicles cannot reach.
However, in some special circumstances, drivers will start with second gear, the most common one is the rainy track. In order to avoid excessive slippage of first gear torque, second gear becomes the best choice.
In fact, if you observe the snow mode carefully, many civilian vehicles start from the second gear. The principle is to prevent the engine power from being greater than the tire grip, which causes vehicle slippage.
The road surface of the track is actually not very wet. It is also possible to start at the first gear normally, but the control is a little difficult. However, Zhang Yifei uses a hard tire. Before the tire temperature rises, the grip is weaker than that of rain tires or super soft tires, so he chooses the second gear starting method.
Prost race car rushed out, and Zhang Yifei stepped on the floor to the bottom to avoid being overtaken by Montoya. Because he saw from the rearview mirror that Montoya was using super soft tires, he definitely planned to overtake with the fastest speed to achieve a shocking effect.
Because the audience will not consider the differences between various tires and tactics, they only know that you will surpass your opponent in one lap, and your strength will be stronger than your opponent in ten laps!
There is no doubt that Montoya came this time with a mentality of being a stolen boat. He wanted to use the battle at Sepang Track to respond to all doubts about his strength!
Zhang Yifei started with full throttle in the second gear, and with the starting speed, he still couldn't stop Montoya's torque advantage in starting first gear. So he started to turn the steering wheel at the moment of starting, and calculated Montoya's overtaking route in a predictable manner and started to press the car directly.
You should know that according to Zhang Yifei's personality, he actually doesn't like this kind of slow-moving method of driving the car, which is slower for his opponents. If possible, he would rather replace it with extremely soft tires and compete with his opponents on the track with absolute speed.
But the reality is 1. Racing is not a game. It is not that anyone who has strong theoretical data will be powerful. All racing components have life limitations. Reasonable use of the performance and service life of each component is the meaning of the existence of the strategy group!
Montoya was just as Zhang Yifei expected, and he planned to take Zhang Yifei hard at the beginning. Not to mention the advantages of tire gears, Williams racing alone is better than Zhang Yifei driving a Prost car, not to mention that what Zhang Yifei is driving now is not a racing car adjusted by himself, but a spare car!
But he didn't expect that Zhang Yifei's reaction would be so fast, and it was as if he had understood his inner thoughts. He started to change lanes and forced the car, and even the two cars almost rear-end just now.
"!"
Montoya couldn't help but scold, saying, if he hadn't braked and downshifted just now, maybe the two cars would have collided when they started.
You should know that Montoya paid a huge price this time, and even accompanied Zhang Yifei to the pit area to set off, in order to completely prove that he was better than Chinese drivers.
