483 For the Team! (Chapter 3)

At 00:00 seconds, the front and rear jacks had already pushed the car off the ground. Four technicians holding pneumatic wrenches began to rotate the screws on the racing tires. At this time, the gas technician was carrying dozens of kilograms of oil pipes on his shoulders and aimed at the racing fuel port. The surging high-pressure oil pump began to work, and the fuel was continuously transported to the racing fuel tank.

00:01 seconds, four screws have been removed, and the other two tire technicians will be within 2 seconds at the slowest, and the tire replacement step of the car must be completed. The Ferrari team's standard is 1.5 seconds!

00:02 seconds, the new tire has been installed, and the pneumatic wrench technician is ready to come up and screw the screws. At the same time, the deputy team leader of the car team wipes Zhang Yifei's helmet mask as fast as possible to avoid dust and debris on the track, which affects the driver's vision.

00:03 seconds, the tire loading and unloading has been completed. The members of the tire team raised their arms at this time, indicating that they were OK, and the jack also put down the racing car at the same time.

But at this time, the lollipop man did not flip the sign, and Zhang Yifei did not rush out of the parking space, because the refueling process had not been completed, and the oil gun was still inserted into the racing tank. If it was started and rushed out at this time, the oil pipe would be directly broken and the fuel would be spilled all over the maintenance channel.

F1 had a similar fueling accident in the pit area. In the 2009 season, Finnish driver Kovalenin rushed out of the repair parking space before he could recover the fuel gun, causing the fuel pipe to be broken.

After entering the maintenance passage, the remaining gasoline in the refueling pipe flew everywhere, and behind him was his compatriot Kimi Raikkonen, who also came from Finland.

The high temperature emitted from the exhaust pipe ignited the unleaded gasoline on the track, instantly covering the Raikkonen racing car behind it into a ball of flame. If it weren't for the racing fire protection suits and multiple teams in the repair channel to put out the fire at the same time, Kimi might have had a lot of trouble.

00:06 seconds, the indicator light on the gas technician's helmet lit up, which means that the predetermined amount of oil has been added. He immediately pulled out the oil gun, and then the lollipop man saw this scene and flipped the sign in his hand, indicating that Zhang Yifei could hang the gear and leave the station!

6.5 seconds! Prost crew members completed the steps of changing tires, refueling, etc. Because it is light oil loading, the refueling time is not very long, but the 6.5 seconds has reached the top stop speed of the current era!

Zhang Yifei stepped down the accelerator and lifted the racing speed limit, and the fuel tank cover was automatically closed.

And Zhang Yifei subconsciously looked into the rearview mirror and found that the red Ferrari No. 1 racing car did not appear behind the car. This only proves one problem, that is, the speed of the Prost crew members is faster than that of the Ferrari team!

To be honest, this is something that Zhang Yifei had never thought about. He thought the best result was to be on par with the Ferrari team and not let himself lose inexplicably on the entry.

At the same time, Schumacher also saw the blue Prost car in front driving onto the repair lane, and at this time his team's lollipop man had just flipped the exit sign in his hand.

Is it more captained than Prost's team when parking?

Schumacher was shocked while controlling the car to leave the station. He really didn't expect that Prost, a car with the lowest level, would surpass the Ferrari team in terms of speed.

Even if it is just a slight transcendence, it is an incredible thing!

“good!”

Charlie saw Zhang Yifei's js53 racing car driving out of the repair corridor, took off his helmet and yelled.

The crew members really did it. At this critical moment, they withstood the pressure and completed Zhang Yifei's stop at the speed that was not inferior to Ferrari.

The faces of other maintenance technicians also had smiles. They were not only happy for Zhang Yifei's lead, but also happy for the victory of the team. Absolute unity and precise cooperation are the starting point for a F1 professional team to move towards the championship!

When Zhang Yifei arrived at the exit of the maintenance passage and was about to enter the main track in a row, a blue and white Williams car drove past him.

Williams's Ralph Schumacher has withdrawn from the racetrack due to a track accident with Barrichello. So now there is only one Williams car left on the track, that is, Montoya, who currently ranks first!

After surpassing Schumacher before, Zhang Yifei's goal was naturally to put Montoya. The distance between the two people was not far, but it was not as good as the wake.

After several laps of chasing, Zhang Yifei slightly shortened the distance between Montoya, but if he wanted to really catch up and surpass Montoya, he also needed to enter the station and replace it with super soft tires and light oil. This is the configuration for the final showdown. Computer terminal::/

The first lap of Zhang Yifei entered the station, Montoya had already entered the station. According to Zhang Yifei's estimate, after he completed the last stop, he would need at least five laps to catch up with Montoya and launch an attack.

As a result, Montoya never expected that he was right in front of him. This situation proved one thing, that is, the speed of his crew members not only surpassed the Ferrari team, but also surpassed the Williams team!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yifei felt a surge of passion in his heart. He had already felt the speed and efficiency of the technician team today when he stopped two times before. However, without comparison, this speed improvement is not obvious.

This time, he deeply felt that the efforts of the crew members were the advantage they helped him to firmly win back on the track bit by bit. You should know that defeating a team like Ferrari and Williams is not an easy task for the Prost crew.

They have made their best efforts. Then I can't let the crew members down.

For Prost, for the team!

Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The combination of light oil and super soft tires slightly covered the car's performance disadvantages and improved the acceleration ability. With the Montoya wake in the car ahead, Zhang Yifei could be said to be very relaxed and came to the rear of Montoya's rear.

When Zhang Yifei appeared in this position, almost everyone on the track understood that the Chinese boy was about to show his storm attack.

"You said, can Chinese newcomers win the Brazilian Grand Prix?"

Jaguars Racing Manager Steiner asked Ceo Nicky Lauda next to him. His interpretation of the track situation, Lauda's identity as a world champion, and his rich track experience, no one is more suitable than him.

"According to this situation, Feihui will become the first new champion of the year, and he will set and surpass Villeneuve's record."

Lauda's attitude was full of affirmation. In his opinion, Zhang Yifei now had an unstoppable momentum.

It was even harder for Montoya to stop him if Schumacher didn't block him.

In f1 history, the first driver to win the sub-station championship in his first season is Villeneuve, the current former world champion of the British and American teams.

This guy was really a representative of super talented drivers during his 1996 rookie season. He won the pole position in his debut and led all the way to the end of the main race. Just when he was about to win the sub-station championship, the car leaked oil.

In order to ensure safety, the team issued instructions to slow him down, so the debut sub-station champion was given to his teammate Damon Hill. ::

The media had called him the future superstar driver at that time, but in fact Villeneuve did not disappoint the media's praise. In the fourth stop, Nurburgring, he won his first F1 point championship title, and throughout the rookie season, he won a total of four points championships and maintained hopes of competing for the championship until the final Japanese Grand Prix.

In the end, Villeneuve lost to his teammate Damon Hill, otherwise he would set a super record of winning the drivers' championship in the rookie season.

The second super newcomer Hamilton in history achieved similar achievements was the second super newcomer in history.

However, Hamilton has always maintained his peak level and is about to become the next legend in F1. Villeneuve opened high and ended low, and after winning a world championship, he almost lost the person in the F1 yard.

At this point in time, Hamilton has not yet emerged, and Zhang Yifei may become the second Villeneuve!

Listening to Lada's answer, Steiner, the leader of the European faction, rarely did not continue to argue with him. Because in his heart, he also had the same thoughts as Lada.

Just as everyone thought, after catching up with Montoya, Zhang Yifei launched a fierce attack on him, and there were attempts to overtake on almost every corner.

Compared to other people, Montoya can really compete with Zhang Yifei countless times. The two of them know each other's driving styles very well. Moreover, Montoya is not a coward. Most of the time, the route is also extremely radical. With the advantages of racing performance, it is far more difficult for Zhang Yifei to surpass him at this moment than expected.

Length 56, Length 57, Length 58…

So he came to lap 64, and the expected overtaking scene did not appear. Montoya was so tenacious in defending. He even often put on a desperate posture. On the Interlagers track, he did not allow himself to lose to Zhang Yifei again!

"Beautiful job, just keep going!"

"Stop the Chinese, the champion is right in front of you!"

"Don't give flying any chance to defend the glory of America."

"There can only be one superstar in F1 this year, and he is Montoya!"

The audience on the track also began to go crazy. Just when the situation was extremely anxious, a car suddenly appeared in front of Montoya and Zhang Yifei.

Of course, this car is not the leading car in the first place, but a car that is squirted. His driver is also well-known, Kimi Raikkonen of McLaren.

The three most famous newcomers on the track are gathered together at this moment, but Zhang Yifei is competing for the championship with Montoya, and the Finnish ice man who is incubating is left far behind.

The staff outside the fence have already started waving the blue flag of the car, prompting Kimi to give up the main line of the track and overtake Montoya and Zhang Yifei behind. However, it is impossible for the narrow Interlagers track to accommodate three cars to pass at the same time.
