476 beat home driver
"I see."
After Zhang Yifei replied briefly, he focused on Barrichello again.
It has to be said that on the Brazilian Interlagues track, Barrichello does have the strength of a home driver. It took Zhang Yifei dozens of laps to tie the gap in the starting and falling behind, and reached the stage where he can attack Barrichello.
The double compound bend at the Interlagus track is composed of two bends: Faradula and Lalanga, and the shape is roughly similar to the word "mouth" without the horizontal line below.
Of course, the horizontal line above is not as straight as the Chinese character. It is considered to be a combination of the word "mouth" and the letter "m", highlighting the two.
This double compound bend is the most difficult combination bend on the Interlagers track. In addition to the difficulty of the bend itself, it is also because of the extreme bumps in this section. If measured by the standards of the F1 track, it is not an exaggeration to call it a bad road.
Extreme bumps will have a lot of pressure on the driver's body and will affect the precise handling of the racing car. You should know that the F1 racing car is not only without assistance, but also requires the Kirin arm to turn the steering wheel, and the brake force is much stronger than that of ordinary civilian cars.
Someone has specially measured the force of the f1 brake to the bottom, up to about 70 kilograms, which is definitely an exaggerated number. The reason why it is designed so heavy is to allow drivers to better control the brake force and avoid various brake mistakes due to a little difference in force.
After all, the f1 brake system is too strong, and the tire grip is also terrible in the correct situation. If the brake is too light, the tire will be locked on the track with a little force, which will leave a huge hidden danger to the competition.
So in a sense, f1 is not only a technical sport, but also a physical sport. If you have a slightly worse physical fitness, it is useless to have skills, and you can't withstand the intensity of the event at all!
Extremely bumpy road surfaces will naturally affect the control of the brakes and accelerator. Just like driving an ordinary car on the mud, the crazy bumps on the left and right are difficult to ensure that the force you step on the brakes or accelerator pedals is exactly the same.
It doesn't matter if the driving force is not bad, but for events of F1 level, any difference in brake or throttle force may lead to problems with the wiring.
Cosel didn't know if it was because of the bumps that Barrichello had flaws in the double-combination bend. But for any reason, Barrichello couldn't do perfectly on this bend, which was just giving Zhang Yifei a chance!
Maybe because he felt the pressure of Zhang Yifei, Barrichello's racing speed was significantly accelerated, and he often tried to delay the brakes as much as possible, trying to get rid of Zhang Yifei behind him.
However, Zhang Yifei had already prepared for Barrichello's mentality. After eating the wake, unless he was leading the curve, it was generally difficult to completely get rid of the straight road. Zhang Yifei was still closely behind Barrichello.
However, at this time, Zhang Yifei did not make a tentative overtaking. He waited for the two cars to enter the double-combination corner, which was the place where he killed him with one blow!
"After a temporary calm, we saw the Chinese driver Fei following Barrichello closely, with Fei's previous personality and behavior, he must have planned to overtake."
"But this time he was very restrained. Are he not confident or was he waiting for the opportunity?"
Brendel once again focused on Zhang Yifei. After a period of unpredictable track period, another important overtaking drama was about to come.
However, this time Zhang Yifei's performance was abnormal. He kept following Barrichello and put pressure on him, but did not launch any offensive, which was really not in line with his previous personality.
You should know that Zhang Yifei's overtaking method is to make the car ahead "tired" through continuous and crazy attacks, and eventually have flaws, and then surpass them in one fell swoop. This kind of storm-like attack puts great pressure on the opponent, but it also requires the car behind to have strong strength, otherwise it is easy to get rid of it during the battle, causing accidents or mistakes.
Gonzalez listened to Brendel's words, his face gloomy and said nothing.
Although Barrichello is still in the leading stage, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has actually been suppressed by Zhang Yifei in terms of momentum.
Gonzalez is very dissatisfied with this. Why is Brazil's most hopeful driver who inherits the title of Senna's car king so disappointingly on his home track?
Even worse than Colombian driver Montoya, this newcomer surpassed Schumacher and asked him to look at the taillights behind his butt!
However, although Gonzalez was dissatisfied and angry, he could not ignore Barrichello. This is the same as the mentality of Chinese fans regarding the national football team. No matter how bad they play or how ruthless they scold, as long as they can give fans a little hope, they can still be filled with home court and overwhelming cheering voices.
Not to mention that Barrichello's performance is just not meeting the expectations in the hearts of many Brazilians, and it is still much better than the national football team's record.
Brendel's waiting for the opportunity gave Gonzalez a reminder that the Chinese are definitely waiting for an overtaking opportunity, so where is this overtaking point?
"Double composite bend!"
Gonzalez suddenly shouted this sentence, which scared the commentator Brendel next to him.
"Chinese driver Fei is waiting for the opportunity to overtake in the double-combined turns. Barrichello must keep his route and not give Fei any chance!"
Gonzalez is different from Brendel. He is a full-time racing commentator in Brazil and is very familiar with the Interlagers track.
You should know that an F1 track can not only hold Formula 1, but also Formula 1 competitions such as f3000 and f3. Even other venue events, such as GT, RV bidding, car brand competition, etc., will run on the F1 track, and some special track layouts will not be absent from motorcycle competitions.
Even during the F1 competition, there are various other events to match, such as Zhang Yifei's Brazil Grand Prix, and the match is Porsche's Carare Cup.
So Gonzalez has rich experience and he inferred Zhang Yifei's overtaking point, because the double compound turns are the most difficult point in the Interlagers track. The increased difficulty means that the mistakes are increasing violently. If Zhang Yifei wants to surpass Barrichello, there is only this opportunity!
Almost immediately when Gonzalez shouted this sentence, the Ferrari team strategy team also inferred Zhang Yifei's overtaking point.
After all, it is the No1 team in the current f1 paddock. You should never underestimate the strength of Ferrari's strategy group. Although more than ten years later, this strategy group has been named "mentally retarded" by many people.
But in this era, the Ferrari strategy group represents professionalism and absolute authority.
If it weren't for the fact that the team resources were basically all placed on Schumacher, they might have to judge earlier that the overtaking point Zhang Yifei wanted was to be in the double-combination corner.
Barrichello heard the reminder from the team's strategy team. He glanced at Zhang Yifei who was following him with his own eyes, and the muscles on his face became extremely tense.
In this game, Barrichello's mentality has never been stable. It may be because he wants to win too much that he is more afraid of losing.
And in a game, fear is equivalent to losing!
So Barrichello's performance was not good, and he was even overtaken by Montoya at the beginning. However, after all, he is a veteran of F1. In addition, in a top team like Ferrari, his adjustments were pretty good, and his lap speed and other performance was normal.
But now Zhang Yifei has caught up with him, which puts him under a lot of pressure. When he heard the overtaking point, this pressure has reached a critical value.
To be honest, Barrichello himself doesn't understand why there is such pressure. It may be because after entering the Ferrari team, his performance began to change qualitatively. Brazilian audiences regard themselves as Senna's successor, and their expectations are a bit too high.
Sometimes pressure can be turned into motivation. When expecting to surpass the driver's own abilities, pressure may not be a good thing. Just like Barrichello now, he actually does not crush his opponent's strength on the Interlagers track, and the atmosphere on the scene has made him feel a little out of the way.
The double-combination bend was right in front of him. Barrichello took a deep breath and threw out the mixed thoughts in his mind. Since he knew Zhang Yifei's overtaking point, he could not let the Chinese boy surpass him!
Barrichello also fought at this time, using extreme late brakes to enter the first corner of the double compound bend, trying to get rid of Zhang Yifei and not give him any chance to eat the wake.
But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yifei's speed was not slow at all. Both of them were walking on tightropes, using the ultimate speed to enter the corner. Anyone who made any mistake would not only be thrown away by the opponent, but might also rush out of the track and lose the entire game.
However, at this time, neither of them cared about any risks. For Zhang Yifei, this was his only chance. But Zhang Yifei didn't know that the Ferrari strategy team already knew his overtaking point.
Or to put it another way, they underestimate the Ferrari team strategy group too much, and it is abnormal that they cannot find it.
Therefore, the way of overtaking using loopholes to defeat the opponent has become a head-on battle. But one thing Zhang Yifei still maintains his advantage is that Barrichello did not discover where his control flaws were!
The two of them used crazy speed to enter the corner, and then both passed through the corner to enter the most bumpy section of the track.
Barrichello's control was still very stable and there were no flaws, which made Zhang Yifei start to wonder whether Cosell made a mistake in his judgment, or that such flaws appeared by chance.
The control pressure brought by bumpy sections is very high, so Zhang Yifei did not dare to overtake rashly, but just as the double second corner was slowing down, Zhang Yifei suddenly found that Barrichello's brakes were heavy, and even showed signs of locking.
This scene made Zhang Yifei feel a little embarrassed because this can no longer be described as flaws, but is at the level of mistakes.
Chapter completed!
