428 Full Outbreak
The cooperation between Zhang Yifei and the team's entry-stop is no longer comparable to that of winter training, and its speed is almost no less than that of first-class teams like Ferrari.
After all, there are too many factors in the R&D technology, but cooperation can be achieved through the station. Zhang Yifei's practice efforts on the team track are far beyond ordinary new drivers.
The simulation of entering the station again and again finally achieved the perfect cooperation on the track. All steps including refueling were completed quickly in ten seconds. However, when Zhang Yifei was about to leave the station, an accident occurred in the maintenance channel again.
Benoldi of Toyota team collided with the Jaguar team Burti, who was about to enter the station when leaving the station, causing serious damage to the front suspension of the two cars. It should be that there was no way to continue the race, so the competitors on the track were missing two more.
In the last Australian tournament, if Zhang Yifei remembers correctly, the finishing rate seems to be in early 60%. So far, five drivers, including Alessi, have withdrawn from the race. In addition to the next rain battle, the final finishing rate may drop to half!
So every time you feel that Prost racing is not good, Zhang Yifei will think about the current terrible finishing rate of F1. Compared with other drivers, they can't even run the entire course. At least Prost racing has not fallen directly on the track and is already above the passing line.
"Fly, remember, the most important thing in rain battles is not speed but control. You have to control the absolute balance on the edge of slipping."
Kossel's voice came from his headphones, and he rarely made such warnings on the track. After all, according to Kossel's theory and personality, all instructions and response methods were handled in the pre-race preparation process. The rigorous German old man would not do the temporary cramming.
"I know, you're ready to watch my performance."
Zhang Yifei replied confidently, he had suppressed this game for too long, and was waiting for the heavy rain in Kuala Lumpur to wash away his depression and aggrievance, and at the same time show his absolute rain combat strength!
"Very good, this is the confidence of the super newcomer in the f1 paddock!"
Prost praised it directly in the team's voice, "I'm not afraid of having a bad strength, but I'm afraid that newcomers will not have the absolute confidence that no one else can do on the track."
Faced with the track weather like the rain war that most newcomers fear, Zhang Yifei can still show this side. Now Prost has reason to believe that he has really found a treasure.
As long as Zhang Yifei's performance in the Malaysian Grand Prix is good, he will be the super newcomer in this year's F1 season!
At the same time, the "Lollipop Man" of the fleet glanced at the temporary unobstructed maintenance channel, and immediately seized the opportunity and turned the sign in his hand, prompting Zhang Yifei to leave the station.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Yifei had already set up the gear and started to loosen the clutch. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the Prost car out of the repair parking space as fast as possible. However, before he advanced dozens of meters, a front of the car suddenly appeared, just like the "ghost probe" he encountered when driving. Zhang Yifei could only be forced to brake and step on it.
"Is that true! Do you don't look at the maintenance channel when the racing car leaves the station? If I had slowed down just now, I would just run into it!"
Zhang Yifei cursed in his heart, saying that this kind of "ghost probe" is simply unpredictable, and it is in a place like a maintenance passage. I never thought that a lollipop person in the convoy would lose his responsibility and would not pay attention to the cars coming from behind!
If it weren't for the slow speed of the repair channel and Zhang Yifei's reaction speed was indeed amazing, otherwise there would be another repair channel accident. The Malaysian Grand Prix will end in the repair channel for no reason.
However, when Zhang Yifei saw the paint and number of the car ahead, he felt that this matter was not that simple, because the car ahead was nothing but Panis of the British and American teams.
It is indeed as Zhang Yifei suspected that Penis took the risk of going out of the repair station, not the lollipop man's carelessness, but did it on purpose!
Panis entered the station faster than Zhang Yifei. Theoretically, in this weather state, all teams are implementing the tactic of full-rain tire lifting oil, so the exit time should be faster than Zhang Yifei.
But they did not expect that the efficiency and progress of the newcomer Zhang Yifei's entry cooperation even surpassed Pannis in terms of efficiency and progress. Seeing that Zhang Yifei was about to use a shorter entry time to surpass Pannis in the maintenance channel, this was unacceptable for the British and American teams.
Moreover, many team management saw Zhang Yifei's performance in the rain battle in the practice competition. They would not doubt Zhang Yifei's rain battle strength as the track situation changes like ordinary spectators.
No matter how this Chinese newcomer trains, his rain battle strength is indeed amazing. If he is allowed to repair the channel, it will not be easy for Panis to come back.
So the British and American teams made this risky move, allowing Penis to take huge risks to leave the station and seize Zhang Yifei's front.
Generally speaking, wingbike drivers have weak offensive strength, but defensive pressure on the car is their strength. Moreover, Panis has rich racing experience. As long as he can run ahead of Zhang Yifei, there is a high probability that the Chinese newcomer will be kept behind the car.
Compared with the benefits, it is worth taking risks. After all, the team No. 1 driver Villeneuve is still behind. Squeezing Zhang Yifei's speed will help Villeneuve catch up and helping the team improve the overall performance!
The tactical strategy of the British and American teams was successful. Although Zhang Yifei, a Chinese newcomer, was radical and arrogant, his driving skills were basically solid, especially his response on the spot, and he braked with one step to avoid a track crash.
At the same time, due to the rule that maintenance passages are not allowed to overtake, Zhang Yifei was forced to follow Panis's car. After leaving the station, Panis could continue to suppress Zhang Yifei, and everything was so perfect.
But sometimes, man's calculations are worse than God's calculations. The British and American teams did not underestimate Zhang Yifei, thinking that he is a very powerful new driver.
But they did not expect that Zhang Yifei's rain battle strength was far stronger than they thought and extremely radical.
After the maintenance passage came out, Zhang Yifei directly pressed against Panis, without taking care of the rain tires that had just been installed. The tire temperature was still at normal operating temperature, which may cause insufficient grip.
Moreover, Zhang Yifei's speed is extremely fast, making people feel that as soon as this kid hits the steering wheel and changes lanes, the car will slip and lose control. This speed has approached the limit of tire grip!
Panis felt the pressure from Zhang Yifei. He did not expect that the Chinese newcomer would enter the station to change tires, which was almost the same as changing individuals. You should know that even if he surpassed him before, Zhang Yifei did not make any tough moves, but just blocked them for a while and let them go.
At that time, Panis also felt that there was a deviation in media reports, and that this kind of Chinese driver did not look like the tough and radical in the reports. Now Panis understands that the media reports are not wrong, and Zhang Yifei is simply a lunatic!
This approaching without any safe distance, as long as you step the brakes a little heavier, Zhang Yifei will definitely rear-end! This is not to say that the Chinese newcomers can't react, but even if Zhang Yifei reacts, the speed of both of them is now over 200km/h, and they can't stop at all!
At the same time, in this situation, Panis did not dare to change lanes at will. If a steering wheel was too big, the consequence would be that his car would lose control and he would turn too much on the track.
He could only maintain his own speed and try his best to seize the best route of Turn 8 of the maintenance channel. Panis believed that no matter how radical Zhang Yifei was, he would not dare to overtake on the curve, because under such a road state, the chance of forcing the curve to skid sideways out of the track is as high as more than 50%!
But Panis was still wrong. Since he had already felt Zhang Yifei's madness, he knew that the Chinese newcomers would not give up just like that.
At the corner of Turn 8, Zhang Yifei leaned against the delayed brake point and passed directly from Panis' left side, then rode on the road shoulder without hesitation and completed the overtake.
The entire overtaking action was completed in one go, and there was no sign of hesitation or fear of rushing out of the track. This efficiency and speed were not only shocked by Panis, but even the British and American team strategy team, which was very confident before, looked at the broadcast screen a little unbelievably.
"Pennis was overtaken when he left the station. Can't he stop him in a lap?"
David Richards, the British and American team manager, looked surprised. He was still very confident about Pennis' defense.
When leaving the station, it is expected that the defensive pressure on the Rain and Pannis will at least be able to catch up with Villeneuve from behind. At that time, two British and American racing cars will attack Zhang Yifei, playing the role of Pannis' wingman, allowing the stronger Villeneuve to attack points or even podiums.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't stop it for a lap and was overtaken when I left the station. What's the case with Senna?
"Pennis is still too conservative and underestimates the madness of Chinese newcomers. According to my observations over the past period, even if the success rate of Chinese boys is 50%, he dares to give it a try.Pennis should be more determined."
Panis's racing engineer Lever replied with a little regret, but this is Panis's character. If he were a tough and determined driver, he would not be willing to become a wingman.
Moreover, Panis is an older driver from F1 Weichangli, and he no longer has the youthful fighting spirit, which is much worse than Zhang Yifei.
Track commentator Brendel exclaimed when he saw this scene: "good! On the track just now, the Chinese driver flew at an extremely fast speed. As soon as he left the first corner of the repair channel, he surpassed the British and American driver Panis. The whole process was so fast that he almost didn't catch up with the camera."
"This speed and performance reminded me of Fei's practice game. Although a crash occurred, it could not cover Fei's amazing performance at that time, and even had a lap speed that was extremely close to Schumacher."
