522 Against the Chariot God (Chapter 1)

Alessi also used his full strength to start, biting the Ferrari driver Barrichello in front. Then he tried to surpass him, sprint to the front row as much as possible, and formed a team with Zhang Yifei, and faced the members of the Big Three teams in a two-on-two form.

It can be said that the top three giants and Prost team are all ambitious and ready to challenge the Austrian Grand Prix championship title.

But the drivers from Alessi can be described as chaos.

Trullie and Frenzen from Jordan team were like winning the lottery. The two drivers failed to start at the same time. I don’t know if it was a mechanical failure or a driver’s control problem.

However, these two drivers, placed in the current f1 paddock, can reach the level of mid-range drivers, and occasionally have the ability to hit the integral area or even the podium, and the possibility of making mistakes at the same time at the beginning should be unlikely to make mistakes.

After all, the Austrian A1 track has very high requirements for mechanical stability, and the failure rate in this era is also amazing. Three practice games and qualifying competitions, many racing parts cannot withstand such high-intensity tossing.

The mechanical stability itself is not enough. If the crew members are slacking off, there will be constant failures, just like the Prost team last season.

In fact, the situation of Jordan team is indeed similar to that of Prost team last season. Two years later, they were in a serious financial crisis. Just as they were about to get cold, they came to sit-ups in a coffin.

F1 boss Bernie took the initiative to help, improving the distribution of Jordan's rights to broadcast rights. After all, a large number of teams went bankrupt in those years. If they didn't take action to save the small team, there would be only a few rich teams left to play a one-man show in the future.

In addition to the F1 organization's rescue, there is also CCTV's advertising fee and Shanghai International Racing Stadium sponsorship, which forced the Jordan team to live, and lasted for two years.

However, it can be saved for a while, but not for a lifetime. In the end of 2004, Jordan's team sold it to the Midlands team for $56 million, and was acquired by Szejue soon after.

But the Shijue team did not support it. After several twists and turns, it was finally bought by Indian tycoon Vijay Mariya, which is the later Indian Power Team.

There was a problem with the two racing cars at the beginning, and this situation is actually not rare in F1, especially in the early stages.

But the problem is that in addition to the two drivers of Jordan, Sauber's Hydefield also parked on the track for no reason. It even caused the Minardi driver Marquis to rear-end. Before the race began, a track accident occurred.

Zhang Yifei was leading the way. Before he could run far, he saw a safety officer wearing orange clothes next to the track, waving the double yellow flags, indicating that there were obstacles on the track, and the safety car had also been dispatched and began to press the car.

At this time, no vehicles are allowed to overtake, so the two drivers of Williams team gave up the action of pressing the car, but took advantage of this opportunity to quickly bite Coothard in front and prepare to overtake the moment the safety car evacuated. This is also a picture that often appears after the safety car leaves the field.

"Cosell, why do safety cars appear on the track?"

Of course, Zhang Yifei couldn't see what happened behind him, so this scene made him feel a little confused. The safety car was moving a little too fast.

Even if it is a track accident, the speed should not be fast at this time. At most, the single yellow flag reminds you that there are obstacles, so that the double yellow flags will not send out safety vehicles to suppress the vehicles.

“There are four racing cars starting with problems, blocking the track, and the engineering cars are dragging them off the track.”

"What? Four cars?"

Zhang Yifei even doubted whether he had heard it wrong. At the beginning of a race, four racing cars could have problems?

This means that you did nothing, and the finishing rate is only 80%. After this race, how many drivers can stay on the track?

"Well, pay attention to the pressure and blocking of the safety car after evacuation, and don't give Schumacher any chance. He is definitely not an opponent to underestimate."

Kossel didn't want to worry about the withdrawal of several drivers with Zhang Yifei. He cared more about the attack that Schumacher would launch when the safety car evacuated. In the f1 paddock, not only Zhang Yifei regarded Schumacher as his biggest opponent, but Kossel was the same.

He has experienced the era of Senna competing with Schumacher. You should know that Schumacher, who was still a rookie at the time, put a lot of pressure on Senna. If Schumacher had not been treated as a strong opponent, Senna would not have used the speed of death to turn around, and subsequent death accidents would naturally not have happened.

"I know."

Zhang Yifei responded briefly and focused on the safety car in front of him.

Track commentator Brendel also focused on the departure area.

"Oh, the start of the main race today was really unexpected. Four drivers had problems at the beginning and even had a rear-end collision. However, based on the preliminary analysis of the situation at the scene, the two drivers of Jordan team should have the opportunity to start again from the repair station."

"The drivers of Sauber and Minardi are unlikely to be restored, and they should end up with withdrawing from the race. It's a pity."

Bazer next to him also echoed: "It's really a pity that when the season enters the 15th stop, not only the drivers are tired, but even the stability of the car has declined, which will test the driver's control ability even more."

"Yes, we can foresee that this will be a very intense race. For example, on the track, Schumacher is flying close to the car in front. I think that when he passes the starting line, he will overtake!"

On the track, with a lap of races, several faulty tracks that blocked the track have been sent to the team repair station or buffer zones on both sides of the track, which will not affect the continued competition.

At the same time, the orange warning light on the roof of the safety vehicle also went out, which indicates that the safety vehicle will be evacuated from the maintenance channel at the end of this circle.

When Schumacher saw that the orange warning light of the safety car went out, he kicked the accelerator and almost pressed against the rear of Zhang Yifei. His movement was very obvious, that is, when he was ready to overtake, he was waiting for an opportunity!

Schumacher, can't wait to superego?

Zhang Yifei saw this scene from the rearview mirror, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a playful smile.

It seems that although Schumacher did not show any strong offensiveness before the game, his current action has fully revealed his desire to attack.

He didn't want to be behind the crowd for a second, let alone be blocked by the Chinese newcomer.

The first position is only me, Schumacher!

Faced with Schumacher's strong fighting spirit, Zhang Yifei did not admit defeat. Are you planning to overtake? Then I will let the god of car feel what it feels like to be pinned behind and eat exhaust!

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yifei lowered the speed again with one brake. The slower the speed at this time, the greater the advantage over the car in front. Because the sudden acceleration at that time will catch the car behind off guard, so as to gain a time advantage of a few seconds.

After all, when the car in front is slow, the car in the rear can only focus more on the brakes to prevent it from getting too close to rear-end. When the car in front takes a foot of the floor oil, the thinking of the car in the rear changes from controlling the speed to acceleration, which requires a little reaction time. The speed reduction pressure car is to gain this reaction time.

This is similar to waiting for a traffic light. When the green light is on, it is impossible for all waiting vehicles to drive forward at the same time. Only when the car in front moves can the car behind move, and the more it is behind, the slower it will accelerate and start.

Schumacher was not surprised at all when Zhang Yifei's speed-reducing pressure car movements. After all, he has never seen any scenes before?

Schumacher put his left foot on the brake to control the speed, and his right foot was placed directly on the accelerator, and his eyes were tightly locked in the distance with Zhang Yifei. As long as he had any speed-up movement, Schumacher would follow him with one foot!

For other drivers, there may be a reaction disadvantage of 0:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:0

Because Schumacher can use his rich racing experience and prediction to make up for the lack of reaction time.

The safety car is evacuated from the maintenance passage at this time, but the drivers are still not allowed to overtake from the distance from the safety car to the starting line again.

So after seeing the safety car evacuate, all the drivers' attention was focused on 120,000 yuan, waiting for the moment they passed the starting line to accelerate!

At this time, Zhang Yifei had already pressed the car speed to within 100km/h. When the car god crossed the starting line, Zhang Yifei kicked the floor oil and suddenly accelerated, trying to instantly widen the distance with Schumacher.

But he still underestimated the strength of the car god. Almost as Zhang Yifei accelerated, the roar of the Ferrari engine sounded. And Schumacher used the car's stronger acceleration ability to directly change lanes and cut to Zhang Yifei's left, intending to forcibly overtake.

Fast! It's really a bit fast!

Zhang Yifei glanced at the rearview mirror with his outlook, feeling surprised and shocked inside.

Schumacher's reaction time was much faster than Zhang Yifei expected, and it almost accelerated at the same time as him.

And there is a more important point, that is, the adjustment direction of JS53 racing. This time, it focuses on the extreme speed rather than acceleration. After all, there are many downhill long straights on the A1 track, which can reach the maximum speed of more than 350km/h. If you can't get up at the extreme speed, then wait for someone to force him to eat on the long straight.

Its performance is weaker than that of Ferrari, and it focuses on extremely fast adjustments. With this low torque acceleration, it is no match for it at all.
