585 Racing Hands? (Chapter 3)
The main text of the spokesperson of the God of Cars is 585. When Zhang Yifei attacked Montoya, Schumacher behind him was not idle, and even the offensive was even more fierce. Many times, Zhang Yifei was in a crisis situation.
After all, the performance advantages of Ferrari racing are there, and Schumacher's driving skills are nothing to question. Being able to block Schumacher's attack is definitely something worth bragging about.
While facing Schumacher's attack, Zhang Yifei was able to launch an overtaking offensive at Montoya from time to time. It can be said that in this battle, he really brought his potential to the extreme!
But this game is not a war between three people, and Villeneuve, who is ranked fourth!
When he arrived at the fifteenth lap, Villeneuve's inner fighting spirit had reached the explosion point! Many times he watched Zhang Yifei beside him, but was blocked by Schumacher. This feeling of aggrievance was simply indescribable.
To be honest, Villeneuve actually felt indescribable in his heart when facing Schumacher. When he was at his peak, he won the world championship title with Schumacher, and the limelight was unparalleled.
As a result, just a year later, Schumacher was left behind, and he became a member of the people looking up to Schumacher!
You should know that at the beginning, Villeneuve was regarded as a driver who could surpass Schumacher. After all, the newcomer won the world runner-up in the season and the world championship in the second year. If this trend continues to develop, it will be an unstoppable trend.
I thought this was the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be the peak. I watched Schumacher stand on the highest podium again and again, but the gap between him and him was getting farther and farther. The so-called Grand Slam title seemed to have become a joke in front of Schumacher.
Envy, jealousy, hatred? Villeneuve didn't know which adjective to choose. But in his heart, he always hoped that one day he would defeat Schumacher again and stand on the highest podium.
Prove to this world that I am the strongest driver in the Formula, not you, Schumacher!
At this moment, Villeneuve had a premonition in his heart that the time had come. Since Schumacher, you are in front, I will kill you first!
Turn 6 of Indianapolis Raceway is a very fast U-shaped turn. The car basically needs to slow down to about 88km/h in 2 gear to pass smoothly. However, precisely because the speed is too slow and there are not many choices of routing, the overtaking on this curve is not very frequent.
But this time when Schumacher passed, he found Villeneuve riding on the shoulder and pressing into the inner lane, intending to overtake on the curve.
Villeneuve's move made Schumacher a little confused. You are planning to overtake me from the inner lane at this turn of 180 degrees? As long as the racing speed increases, the steering is 100% insufficient, what can you use to overtake?
As a veteran on the track, Schumacher believes that Villeneuve cannot not understand this principle, but he still does this. Is there any special way to route Indy racing?
But Villeneuve soon told Schumacher with his actions that I don’t have any special overtaking skills, just relying on one hard word!
That's right, after entering the corner, the car could not sit in a sharp turn of 180 degrees, because it was insufficient in steering and started pushing its head. In addition, it was in the inner lane, Villeneuve's car crashed straight into Schumacher's Ferrari.
Faced with this situation, Schumacher was a little confused in an instant. He did not expect that Villeneuve's historical achievements and professional qualifications would make such a manipulation that was comparable to a newcomer.
There is no way, Schumacher doesn't want to be knocked out of the track. This US Grand Prix will determine the ownership of the 2000 world champion. Schumacher will get points no matter what, which will cut off Coothard's thoughts.
If I really didn’t get points in two consecutive games and dragged the event into the final Japanese Grand Prix, Kurthard, who was in a state of momentum, might really use a car crash to create a miracle of counterattack!
Schumacher has done this kind of thing himself, so he absolutely does not allow it. The same plot happens to him. In today's game, you must get points to lock in the world championship!
The only way to avoid Villeneuve's torpedo attack is to accelerate and avoid it, so Schumacher stepped on the accelerator and the car began to speed up. But Schumacher, who was in a steering state, was already a little too late.
Villeneuve's front wheel hit the side of Schumacher's racing car. Compared to the speed of the high speed exceeding 300km/h, the center-turning speed is now only about 70km/h because Villeneuve finally brakes.
There was no accident that the car was crashed at this speed, but it was like pushing it, directly pushing Schumacher out of the track and rushing into the track buffer zone. With the help of this blocking force, Villeneuve, who had completely slowed down, turned to the corner easily.
"What's the situation? Villeneuve knocked Schumacher out of the track?"
"Is this a violation or a mistake? I feel like Villeneuve did it on purpose."
"I also feel that the intentional ingredients are obvious, otherwise he would not have chosen to overtake on this corner."
"What if I want to be surprised?"
The track audience began to discuss the situation just now, whether it was an accident or a malicious situation.
But soon a group of IndyCar fans began to clamor, they didn't care whether it was intentional or unintentional. As long as Villeneuve surpassed Schumacher in the end, that's enough!
"Beautiful job, this is the wildness of our Indy riders!"
"Villeneuve, you have finally awakened. This is our Indy spirit!"
"Listen to the runners of f1, this is the real speed and passion!"
"Indy, men's racing!"
The style of Indy racing has always been famous for its wildness and radicalness, and the requirements for capital and technical thresholds are low. There are far more participating vehicles than Formula One, and at the highest point it once exceeded 60.
Later, in order to ensure safety and viewing, the number of racing cars was limited to over 30, but even so, it was still more than ten more cars higher than the F1 race.
With so many cars crowded on the track, many times the technology really doesn't have room to play, especially in the initial stages.
Therefore, if you want to "show off", barbarity and radicalism have become essential qualities, otherwise you will be blocked by others forever.
The combination of racing numbers, driver skills, speed rules, and various factors leads to frequent Indy racing accidents, but this has also become a style and feature of it. So Villeneuve's current tough move is very in line with the tastes of Indy fans on site, and they like it very much.
It’s just that I like it, and I like it to compare F1 racing to become a sissy sport, which angers many F1 fans.
Because Formula One also has its own pride. As the highest crystallization of human automotive engineering technology and the highest palace of drivers' strength, the aesthetic brought by the technical style cannot be compared with the savage and rough Indy racing.
"Who is a sissy racing car? Can a savage impact without rules be called a man?"
"It's a shame to the racing industry that can't overtake with technical content, and can only rely on impact to win!"
"No wonder Villeneuve plummeted in F1, and time will eventually confirm his strength."
"The suspension of Villeneuve is definitely a intentional malicious driving!"
This is the home court of Indy Racing, and most of the audience are Americans, but it does not mean that there is no F1 fan here.
Even like the Chinese audience at the scene, only a few thousand to ten thousand people, they can make their own voices and refute the IndyCar fans.
For a moment, there was a fierce quarrel in the stands, and no one side of the car fans were willing to admit defeat.
This is a war of right to speak. Only by completely deciding the outcome and one side bows down and surrenders can this contest end!
"Shumi, how is the situation?"
Seeing Schumacher knocked out of the track, the Ferrari strategy group immediately started asking.
"I don't know what the side shell is, but I didn't turn off the engine and didn't fall into the sand and gravel. I can continue running!"
After Schumacher broke out of the track, he had rich racing experience and pressed the gap immediately to prevent the car from shutting down due to the brakes being shut down.
Schumacher was also lucky. The tires did not fall into the sand and gravel in the buffer zone, and they slowly drove out of the buffer zone and returned to the track. The only thing he could not verify was whether there was serious damage in the middle section of the body hit by Villeneuve's front wheel.
When the Ferrari strategy team heard that Schumacher was sure he could run, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the cornering lens was also aimed at Schumacher's racing car. The carbon fiber shell in the middle section had sunkens and cracks, but it was not damaged, which meant that the aerodynamic shape had not been greatly damaged.
"Shumi, the shell is not significantly damaged, you can decide whether to enter the station or continue running."
"Stay running!"
Schumacher replied firmly, "Entering the station once more means delaying for at least ten seconds."
Now that I was hit by Villeneuve, I have fallen behind Coothard. If I enter the station again, I may not be able to recover this gap.
"Okay, please contact us anytime if you have any questions."
After saying this, Brown hung up the voice call, then punched the table, and said angrily: "Villeneuve definitely made a decision. He reinforced the front suspension, otherwise he would have entered the repair station with the impact just now!"
The main goal of the design structure of f1 is to reduce weight, so the safety factor is as low as possible and there will be no design redundancy left. However, many teams or drivers have made some targeted adjustments to the racing structure in order to make the racing more problematic.
For example, Schumacher, in order to avoid damaging the car during confrontation, it is specifically required to increase the structural strength of the front tie rod. Although this will lead to a single lap performance loss, the confrontation will increase because Schumacher knows that many drivers may use some more extreme operations in order to surpass him.
Brown is from the Ferrari design department, and he naturally knows the characteristics of the racing structure.
Schumacher did this because Ferrari was very racing and could withstand this loss, and he needed it very much.
How could a tractor in British and American racing be able to do such a structural design that loses lap performance? Villeneuve must have made changes in the racing car!
