582 Intense Struggle (Chapter 3)

No matter how dissatisfied Xiong Long is or how unwilling he is, this is the case in this world. If you don’t work hard, you will definitely be better than others.

All the talent is not shown because most people work so hard that they are not at all time to compete for talent!

Xiong Long didn't know that Zhang Yifei was able to have the strength today and ran such a lap on the track because behind the scenes, Zhang Yifei worked harder than he knew, and even far surpassed himself!

When your talent is higher than you and you work harder than you, there is no reason to be worse than you.

Half of the curve passed, the ranking did not change. Today, the front-row drivers on the track can be called a peak showdown.

They may not be the most comprehensive driver in the f1 paddock at present, such as Barrichello, Kurthard, Ralph Schumacher and others, and are not among the front-row drivers.

But these drivers, it can be said that they have made sufficient preparations on the Indianapolis track and fully utilized their advantages, so they can rank among the top!

Moreover, because Kimi Raikkonen's starting collision before, the rear drivers had to bypass them. So in the first lap, two obvious echelons appeared on the track. Starting from Barrichello, who was ranked sixth, the rear drivers were obviously pulled apart.

After the complex curve, a short straight road was entered. From this section, the other half was the layout of the Indy Oval Raceway, and the section with a long straight road and a high-speed curve began to enter.

To be honest, for Zhang Yifei, who just started running the Indianapolis track, the difficulty of complex corners is the greatest. Because he was unable to run the fastest corner speed before he could control it, and it was easy to be surpassed by his opponent.

But for Zhang Yifei now, the most difficult part of him has become the section of the highway ahead. Because the curves are complicated, you can control them with your own strength and hard work. The backwardness of racing performance is something that cannot be changed in a short period of time, and he will suffer great challenges!

Sure enough, after entering the short straight, Schumacher behind him began to move, relying on the performance advantages of the wake and Ferrari racing, narrowing the distance between Zhang Yifei.

At this time, Zhang Yifei did not think about blocking the car Schumacher, but instead stepped on the floor and chased Montoya in front of him to death. He must not be thrown away by Montoya in front of him just because he blocked the car. Any backwardness on this track will become extremely difficult to catch up with Montoya.

He not only wants to defeat Schumacher, but also defeat Montoya ahead. All the Indy kings must be stepped on by me, Zhang Yifei!

Five consecutive cars entered the first arc curve at extremely fast speed. The g value brought by the high-speed curve pressed Zhang Yifei tightly on it. It became extremely difficult to lift his arm to control the steering wheel.

But no driver slowed down his speed because of the g value. Five racing cars whizzed by in a long snake formation, and the distance was amazing!

After passing through the first curve, a long track was ushered in. After all the drivers left the corner, they basically accelerated the floor oil. Zhang Yifei quickly walked the line at this time and blocked Schumacher. He was confident that he would not be surpassed by Schumacher by the wake.

On the long straight road, the performance gap of the car will be magnified. Even if you eat Montoya's wake in front, there is no guarantee that Schumacher will not be able to catch up. Because his car also broke an air channel, making the Ferrari racing faster!

Moreover, Schumacher's driving skills using the "slingshot effect" are definitely at the textbook level. Zhang Yifei really dared not relax or careless about this driver at the level of a car god.

Relying on the wake effect, the vehicle speed quickly broke through to 350km/h from the beginning 320km/h, and this value is still rising.

However, before the Indy Racing has been revised and gained weight, their limit speed can reach an astonishing 420km/h, so the speed of the F1 Racing is not the limit of the track now.

However, at the conventional brake point of Indy Racing, the F1 Racing did not click the brakes. Due to the aerodynamic layout, the ultimate speed of the F1 Racing may not be as exaggerated as Indy Racing, but in terms of the stability of the curve, it is far superior to Indy Racing.

This is why, the Indy 500 race chose a simple elliptical track, while the F1 track is much more complicated in part. Because the technological content of Indy racing is not as good as Formula One, the difficulty of achieving straight-line acceleration is far lower than the control stability of the curve.

"The speed of the drivers in the front row is amazing. Even if they are in the commentary seat, I can personally feel their desire for victory in the US Grand Prix. Just the first lap, the struggle has entered a white-hot stage. Any driver's mistake will lead to being left far behind and no one dares to fall behind!"

"After entering the long straight, relying on the wake of the car in front, their speed was faster. And ahead was the infamous No. 13 Death Reaper, which was about to reach the brake point, but their speed did not slow down at all."

"It has passed the conventional brake point, and Montoya still has not slowed down. The flying and Schumacher and others behind him are far exceeding the speed of the average passing No. 13 Death Turn. What do they want to do? They risk their lives directly to decide the winner here?"

Brundell looked at the situation on the track in surprise. The competition in the first lap was far more intense than in previous events. But the problem is, ahead of him is the most famous Death Bend on the Indy Track. More than thirty Indy drivers died on this corner. Did these F1 drivers really not realize the danger of Death Bend?

Just as Brendel finished speaking, Montoya, the head of the car, finally stepped on the brakes.

As an Indy driver, he knows the risks of Turn 13 better than other F1 drivers. Even during his Indy racing career, he has witnessed a tragedy of a driver crashing into a cement wall and eventually killing people.

Only by understanding the danger will you be in awe, so Montoya had to step on the brakes and slow down through the No. 13 Death Bend.

Almost immediately when Montoya stepped on the brakes, Zhang Yifei behind him also made the same move. He had taken the risk of passing the No. 13 Death Turn in the fastest lap of the qualifying race with an extremely late brake.

That turnover was really no longer under Zhang Yifei's control. Under the push of inertia, the entire car rushed out of the white line of the runway and stuck to the edge of the cement wall.

For a moment, Zhang Yifei realized why this bend was called the Death bend. Because a towering concrete wall was right beside you, you would die if you hit it. This feeling was like the Death standing next to you, silently watching the passing car.

After experiencing the feeling of "death coming", Zhang Yifei didn't want to experience it again. Moreover, with the blessing of the racing tail flow, his tail speed was actually higher than the car in front. Montoya had already chosen to brake. If Zhang Yifei didn't step on the brake at this time, he would inevitably lose control on this curve!

After Zhang Yifei slowed down, Schumacher, Villeneuve, Xiong Long and other drivers made the same moves one after another. In fact, each driver had the same initial idea, which was to fight and bet that his opponent was afraid of death and braked normally, and he relied on the advantage of late braking to complete the overtake at the No. 13 Death Turn.

But the problem is that when it is so close, no one dares to brake normally, so everyone is confronting each other. Until they approach the cornering limit, all drivers have to choose to slow down and turn.

The 13th Death Bend passes and will arrive at the longest straight section of the Indianapolis track. After passing the starting line, the full throttle time is up to 23 seconds. The car's straight acceleration ability will be maximized here.

McLaren driver Coothard, who was behind, began to attack Barrichello in front on this long straight. McLaren racing car equipped with Mercedes-Benz engines has the strongest performance on the track at present, so the full throttle section is the best moment for Coothard to perform!

However, the performance of Ferrari is also not weak. The failure of the previous stop made the team very dissatisfied with Barrichello's performance.

As Schumacher's only world championship competitor, Barrichello received the team command to block Kuthard at all costs. As long as he cannot get points at this stop, the world championship title can be locked on Schumacher in advance, and he will be crowned as king for four times!

So Barrichello gave up the pursuit of Bear Dragon in front, blocked the Garage Tehard and implemented the instructions of the Ferrari strategy group.

This is the fate of the wingman. At the critical moment, Barrichello had no choice.

Another Ferrari driver, Schumacher, had no intention of just running safely and defending the world championship title.

Schumacher may not be as radical as Senna, but he is not as conservative as Prost. Whether it is the world champion or the American Grand Prix sub-station champion, I want it all!

So on the long straight road, he took advantage of the performance advantages of Ferrari racing and quickly caught up with Zhang Yifei in front, and after making a fake move to overtake from the right, he attracted Zhang Yifei to block the car.

Then he suddenly changed lanes, used the "slingshot effect" to quickly surpass Zhang Yifei from the left, and his front nose wing instantly passed the rear wheel of the Prost racing car.

"Hello! Schumacher's operation is so fucking fast!"

Ah Hu in the repair station, watching the broadcasting and TV on the wall, clenched his fists nervously.

No one has ever doubted Schumacher's strength. Only in the duel can we truly feel the horror of Schumacher's strength.

The fake action at the beginning was instantly taken to the wake and then ejected using the vacuum effect. Schumacher's series of operations were so fast that it was exaggerated and there was no drag on the slightest. Even the audience who watched it did not react. It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for Zhang Yifei to deal with.

Schumacher's fierce overtaking behavior also made the audience feel that the strongest F1 driver on the track was still very unhappy about being overtaken by Turn 1.
