"pretty!"

"Awesome, I surpassed Alonso on the straight road."

"Fei looks angry."

"It's not easy to mess with when flying seriously."

When the convoy members in the maintenance station saw this scene, they couldn't help but start celebrating.

Zhang Yifei's fake moves and lane change on the long straight road are so beautiful. A series of controls can be described by the four words "Flowing Clouds and Flowing Water".

More importantly, how long has it been since I saw Prost racing and was able to take advantage of my opponent on the long straight?

Alonso's mood on the track was instantly in a low position. He was so uncomfortable after eating flies. At the Australian Grand Prix, it was because of the racing performance and minor malfunction that he was trapped by the champion Schumacher for two laps, and even a Chinese boy.

As a result, at the Malaysian Grand Prix, something that has little technical content, such as long straight acceleration, can be eaten by Zhang Yifei's Prost car. Can such a thing happen?

It can be said that he could accept Alonso by being forced to eat by Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and other teams. He was a little aggrieved by being forced to eat by Prost, who is also a dish. Is Minardi racing really that bad?

In fact, Minardi Racing is really so bad. Last season, Prost and Minardi teams were at the bottom, and both of them were eliminated together with zero points.

In the 2001 season in history, Prost team scored 4 points and completed a zero breakthrough, surpassing the 1-point Arrow Team and Minardi Team, which was still 0 points, and rose two places to become the third from the bottom.

You should know that the 2001 season is already the time when Prost team disbands, and even the prototype AP05, which was in the 2002 season, was forced to sell it to pay off the bill.

Minardi couldn't run away with the convoy on the eve of bankruptcy, which was enough to show how delicious it was.

The problem is that not only has the Prost team that has not yet closed in 2002, but even the Arrow Team that has closed in 2003 can beat Minardi team with one point advantage, and that is even the younger brother who is pecking at each other.

Perhaps the only thing that makes Minardi team strong is its fleet operation, and at least it has not gone bankrupt or anything. Even at the most collapse moment, it sold its fleet assets to the rich Red Bull, and successfully cashed out.

In this regard, neither the stubborn Prost nor the confused arrows were as good as Minardi.

Of course, the history of the world has changed. The flying arrows hugged Toyota's thighs and escaped from the fate of bankruptcy and liquidation. At least it did not cause a farce in which the drivers were asking for their salary and going to court.

As for the Prost team, it has changed their fate against the will of heaven. Although the team's finances are tight, the overall situation has begun to move upward. As long as the track results do not collapse this year, it is not a problem to find two major sponsors to extend their lives. Finally, I found an opportunity to survive in the cruel f1 paddock.

Zhang Yifei, who surpassed Alonso on the track, actually was not very good. He is now in eighth place. Not only is the gap with the first echelon gradually widening, but even the two drivers Williams who had surpassed him before were running farther and farther. At least at this stage, the hope of catching up is very slim.

Because the V-shaped shape is long straight, Zhang Yifei is bullying Minardi racing. It is impossible to achieve the speed of Williams racing. Zhang Yifei must be behind on the straight path and can only recover the gap little by little in the curve.

However, compared to the simple control that only requires floor oil acceleration on the straight road, it is too difficult to recover the gap a little bit on the curve. Zhang Yifei’s primary goal now is not to catch up, but to stabilize the gap now and no longer expand.

When you enter the station for the last time to change your tires, you will use super soft tires and light-carrying oil to "try out" and impact the opportunity to enter the first six divisions in the final opportunity.

As for the dream of getting on the podium, Zhang Yifei has been awakened by the reality's "beating".

Because the group of drivers in the first echelon are simply not humans, they run as fast as beasts!

It was already terrible to have strong driving skills, and it also included Ferrari, McLaren, Jordan, which cooperated with Honda, and Renault, which returned to the track today.

These teams and engine suppliers are all on the track, and manufacturers that have proved their strength and technology, stability and performance are not comparable to those of the lowest-ranked teams.

When masters get on a good car, they evolved into the first echelon of "The Battle of Gods". When the geniuses peck at each other, they also competed.

The only difference is that the croaker pecks at the back, which may cause everyone to slow down. Their battle for the gods is that the drivers who run faster and faster under the competition, and even start to mount the lower rankings in the second half of the schedule.

Even after experiencing a track pressure, Schumacher, Barrichello and Cooterhard are still far ahead and will not give the drivers behind them any chance.

As Zhang Yifei surpassed Alonso, the situation on the track began to stabilize, and the fierce overtaking scenes gradually decreased, and a relatively peaceful period was entered.

However, this peaceful period is not good news for Zhang Yifei. He needs fierce competition among the first-tier drivers, and even a track accident, and take the initiative of the safety car, so that he has the chance to catch up.

Otherwise, in this situation, it would be really not easy for him to overtake Schumacher and Montoya at the same time and seize their positions to enter the points zone.

This is not just a factor in racing performance and strength, but the fact that both of their racing cars are in the same team. If Zhang Yifei wants to overtake, he will definitely face their joint offensive.

Unless you have ordinary driving skills, such as Schumacher now, it will be too difficult to defeat Montoya and Schumacher little at the same time. Zhang Yifei's current strength is not yet at this level.

Even if it is the last tire change to enter the station, it may not be possible to complete the final counterattack.

So in the team repair station, after experiencing Zhang Yifei's joy of overtaking Alonso, everyone gradually began to calm down. If there were no major changes next, ranking eighth in the Malaysian Grand Prix may be Zhang Yifei's final result.

The eighth qualifying competition is actually a completely acceptable result for the Prost team. But this time everyone will have high expectations, and even this includes Alaisi's efforts. Can't we really change our fate against the will of heaven?

“It’s raining.”

In the repair parking space, Ah Hu murmured in his mouth as he looked at the raindrops falling from the sky.

In just less than ten seconds, the rain began to suddenly increase, from the initial droplets to continuous drizzle. And at this moment, a thunder sounded in the sky, reminding the world that this might be just the beginning.

"No, Yifei uses hard tires, and the grip will drop sharply in rainy days!"

Chen Zhi remembered in his mind that Zhang Yifei started with a hard tire, which was suitable for dry and high temperature tracks, and the Sepang track without rain was actually quite suitable.

However, once it rains, the tire temperature will drop quickly, and it will not even reach the optimal working temperature required for the tire grip. You should know that the rubber "melting point" of the rain tire is only 60 or 70 degrees, and the melting point temperature of the hard tire is even around 100 degrees. These gaps of dozens of degrees will cause the tire surface to harden and you can't hold the ground tightly.

In comparison, the working temperature of soft tires is lower, and the grip reduction process is also lower than that of hard tires.

"I'm going to tell Cosell!"

Chen Zhi's second reaction was to inform Cosell of the rain and ask him to remind Zhang Yifei to be prepared. After all, except for the manager, the competition engineer and the chief technician, other team members do not have the right to talk.

But without waiting for Chen Zhi to report, the Prost strategy group has already started to implement the backup plan.

"Fly, be prepared and change the rain tires when entering the station next lap."

Kossel issued a track order without hesitation. Judging from the gloomy and gradually expanding rain, it would at least be a heavy rain.

In addition, due to the rainfall in the previous two days, the water absorption of the track itself tends to be saturated, and the Sepang track built on the swamp ground has been built. In the past two days, due to the terrain sinking, there are some water accumulation areas.

The displacement of the semi-rain tire can no longer solve the problem, so Kossel directly chose the full rain tire.

"Received, enter the station next circle."

In fact, it doesn’t take Kossell to say that Zhang Yifei is ready to enter the station, because the raindrops in the sky are close to the size of mung beans, and they are ticking on the helmet, leaving obvious traces of water.

And this is just the beginning. It can be predicted that this will be a heavy rain. The safety requirements for rain battles in this era are not as high as those in later generations. The competition is already half over. Unless it is raining heavily affecting the safety of drivers, the red flag to end the competition will not be issued so early.

Listening to Cosell's order to enter the station, the members of the team looked bad. It was undoubtedly a matter of adding insult to Zhang Yifei.

You should know that the advantage of the stop-off tactic is to rely on the second half of the race, but now I am forced to enter the station to change tires, which is equivalent to burning all the previous efforts to keep the tires under control and tires.

If I had known it would rain heavily and then I would have to change the rain tires at the station, it would be better to let Zhang Yifei use soft tires or neutral tires at the beginning, and then half-load oil. In this way, the speed in the early stage would be much faster than hard tires and heavy load oil. Many thrilling overtaking and overtaking scenes can be avoided, and Alaixi doesn't even need to block the car!

This heavy rain is equivalent to announcing the failure of the convoy’s truce tactic!

Compared with the frustration and pessimism of the team members, Zhang Yifei looked at the raindrops falling in the sky and began to feel excited and ecstatic.

To be honest, looking at Montoya and Schumacher who were gradually being pulled apart, Zhang Yifei was really a little unconfident and could catch up and surpass them in the second half of the schedule.

Because some of their soft persimmons are different, they are really two hard rocks on the track at present. If they want to eat them, their front teeth may be knocked off.

But the current rainfall means that there will be a rain battle next, which is the scene Zhang Yifei expected before the game.

Fifteen years ago, Senna made the name of Senna in the rain with a shocking rain battle.
