431 The Show Turns Ralph (Chapter 3)
Zhang Yifei's thrilling pass from the sharp corner of No. 9 is indeed a great part of luck. If the previous scene is staged again, Shumaher dares to conclude that Zhang Yifei will definitely break out of the track this time.
No one will always be favored by God, and even if there are, they will not be Chinese drivers who do not believe in God!
"The driver flew on the track, relying on the wake effect of the racing car, narrowing the distance with Ralph. From this action, we can also see that the Chinese boy is preparing to launch an attack again. The young man is really full of fighting spirit. It is hard to imagine that a driver would challenge Ralph so radically in the heavy rain Sepang track."
After Brendel finished sighing, the Malay commentator next to him Mohada added: "Flying on the previous corner to challenge Ralph, the tires have lost grip. This time it is obvious that Ralph has made defensive routes in advance. Can a newcomer in the track really succeed in the challenge?"
"I don't know, but I'm very optimistic about this Chinese newcomer."
Brendel replied in an admiring tone.
To be honest, Brundel had the arrogance of the British before and did not take Chinese drivers or even Asian drivers seriously at all. He believed that the strength of this group of people was just passers-by in the F1 paddock, and he could only enter the F1 team with the support of his sponsors.
In fact, those Japanese drivers are indeed the case. They can only rely on Toyota's support, run in the f1 paddock for a year or two, and then get the bottom of the score and get out.
However, Zhang Yifei's appearance changed many of Brendel's inherent views. The strength of this Chinese newcomer, based on his 20 years of experience in track commentary, is definitely underestimated.
And Brendel admires Zhang Yifei's offensive style very much, which is a momentum that can be called "striking the boat". There is no other driver on the entire track, and he can be as determined as Zhang Yifei's performance, and even Schumacher can't.
Of course, Schumacher did not show it because there is no such opponent on the F1 track in the past two years that can force him to go all out.
Ten years ago, Senna, and his lifelong enemy Prost, and now Schumacher cannot find the opponent who can be called his old enemy.
"I think he is gambling, and gamblers cannot succeed forever."
Mohada still insists on his prejudice. After all, Zhang Yifei's actions at the Malaysian Grand Prix have touched his bottom line as a Malaysian. This feeling is like a foreigner who knocked Yao Ming, who was shot into the hospital.
However, the five thousand years of historical heritage will make most Chinese people understand the accidents on the field after they understand the truth. However, the Malay witch tribe itself has internal conflicts with the Chinese, and this prejudice blinds their fairness, and even if it is just a commentary, it will be biased.
Hearing Mohada's words, Brendel just smiled. After all, one of the most difficult things in the world is to change the minds of others.
Moreover, twenty years of commentary experience have allowed Brendel to see too many similar situations, and Mohada's attitude is actually nothing.
Of course, the more important point is that Zhang Yifei is not capable yet, so he shut up all the doubts. If one day he reaches Schumacher's height and says he wants to surpass Ralph, no one will doubt it.
While the track was being commented, Zhang Yifei had already chased the rear of Schumacher, and this time his attitude was even stronger. At the moment of entering the corner, he directly pushed the car in, and the two cars entered the corner of the No. 11 almost at the same time.
"The newcomer wants to suppress me, too?"
Faced with Zhang Yifei's strong behavior, Ralph Schumacher's heart surged.
When you enter the corner, you will directly grab the line roughly. This is simply a way to treat rookies. Chinese boys think that they can definitely win if they can grab the line on the corner.
Ralph Schumacher is not a newcomer to the track. He is the younger brother of the God of Cars and is at his peak. This insult to be despised makes Schumacher very angry, and his attitude towards snatching the line has become increasingly tough.
Even though he knew that Zhang Yifei had squeezed in, he did not let the line move at all, and even pressed towards Zhang Yifei, intending to squeeze the other party out of the track. You must know that under the current road surface, the sand and gravel buffer zone is already muddy, and even if the f1 racing car has not stopped, it is unlikely to drive it again.
This is why there will be many side-slip withdrawals in the rain battle. It is not that the drivers can't react to the gap to avoid the engine. Instead, they acted as a rescuer when they stepped on the gap, and they had no way to drive the car out, so they could only end the race with withdrawal.
"Fei is too tough!"
Seeing this scene on the track, the members of Prost pit station were worried.
Ralph Schumacher is not the Panis before. He is a very unique driver and is not weak at all on the track.
It is almost impossible for Zhang Yifei to use this kind of forced method to make Ralph give up his racing line.
The result of this is that either two cars collided or Ralph squeezed Zhang Yifei out of the track, and there was no third choice. The members of the Prost strategy team did not doubt that Schumacher had the determination and courage to crash.
Feeling that the little Schumacher got closer and closer, Zhang Yifei seemed to have not noticed the risk at all. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the curve, making a stance that he was clearly trying to take the opponent in Turn No. 11.
Zhang Yifei is tough, and Schumacher naturally cannot show weakness. If he admits a bad situation at this time, the Malaysian Grand Prix will definitely become a shame for him. And this overtaking will greatly enhance the fame of the Chinese boy.
Just like Montoya's future fame is based on the premise of eating Schumacher on the curve. The fastest and most convenient way for any newcomer to become a new star is to defeat a famous driver on the track, use him as a stepping stone, and let himself reach the peak!
So Schumacher also stepped on the accelerator and even rushed towards Zhang Yifei. This action was because the tangent had to be done, and the other thing was that Schumacher planned to use this action to establish his authority. He was definitely not a stepping stone for a new driver!
If nothing unexpected happens, this side collision can directly knock Zhang Yifei out of the track. As for whether Schumacher can stabilize himself and continue the competition, it depends on his control of the impact strength.
If the strength is accurate, when you hit Zhang Yifei, your racing car will be slightly damaged and will not affect the next game too much. If the strength is not controlled well, both of them may be knocked out.
Faced with a tough counterattack like Schumacher, the track director also moved from the leading Schumacher to the showdown between Zhang Yifei and Ralph.
Just as everyone thought that this collision was inevitable, and even Zhang Yifei's supporters were sweating coldly, an unexpected scene happened. Zhang Yifei suddenly slowed down and changed lane, and went around from the left side of Schumacher to the right side, and did not choose to fight Schumacher head-on!
You should know that the biggest difference between sharp turn No. 11 and sharp turn No. 9 is that in order to ensure the safety of drivers' cornering, Turn No. 11 of Sepang Track has specially widened the curve again on the basis that it is already wide.
The widening of the curve gives drivers more operational space, which is why sharp corner No. 11 of Sepang Track becomes the main overtaking point.
At the same time, a wider track, in addition to overtaking, can also bring a larger buffer zone for riders to lose control. If it is other corners, it is difficult for Zhang Yifei to change lanes quickly in this way during the bend cutting process. Because the width is not enough, slowing down is equivalent to being afraid to get the line, and the opponent will inevitably be pushed behind the car.
However, Turn 11 of Sepang Raceway gives two cars room to turn side by side. Perhaps the tangent line that Zhang Yifei is now walking is theoretically not as good as the best turn tangent line of Schumacher.
But after changing lanes, he was in the center of the curve, and the buffer zones on both sides were much larger than those on the little Schumacher. This means that Zhang Yifei could use too fast to cut the bend, and the limit point of losing control was higher than that of the little Schumacher!
After Zhang Yifei changed lanes, he accelerated directly in the corner with the full throttle, and wanted to get out of the corner to beat Ralph Schumacher.
This move was naturally understood by Schumacher Little. He never expected that the Chinese boy who has always been extremely tough on the track would actually use a clever and flexible way to go through the corners.
Since Zhang Yifei has forced him to retreat and change lanes, it is naturally impossible to go out of the corner, and let the Chinese newcomer lead him with speed. So Schumacher did not hesitate at all. He went out of the corner early before passing the apex point, and wanted to defeat Zhang Yifei in speed.
But just as he turned the steering wheel tangent, he suddenly found that the direction of the front of the car did not change with the rotation of the steering wheel, and he still rushed forward straight.
The front is not the track area, but the sand and gravel buffer zone on the curve, and a little further away is the track's protective wall. This is definitely not the route taken by Ralph Schumacher. There is only one reason for this scene now, that is, slipping out of control!
I have to say that Schumacher at his peak reacted quickly. He directly released the accelerator and continued to brake and change lanes twice, trying to regain the tire grip to save the car. However, his accelerator speed was too fast, and his inertia far exceeded the tire grip, and even if he braked, he could not change the racing trajectory.
In this way, an unexpected scene happened to everyone. Ralph Schumacher, who was leading the way, actually slipped on the side of Turn 11 and lost in this match against Zhang Yifei!
Two laps! The top five top drivers in F1 were shown by new players from China on the corner. Not only did they lose the showdown, but they also ended up with withdrawing from the race early. If this were placed before the race, it would probably be a joke, not many people would believe it.
But the reality happened. Tens of thousands of viewers who saw this scene on the track were surprised to look at the blue and white painted Williams racing car parked in the buffer zone. They couldn't believe that this scene was true.
