648 Do your best to obey the destiny (Chapter 1)
Seeing Zhang Yifei finally whizzing past the 130r curve, Cosel let go of his clenched fist. For a moment just now, he even doubted whether his strategy was wrong. Too tough would lead to Zhang Yifei rushing out of the track.
I can only say that the result was lucky. This kid still stabilized the racing car and surpassed Kimi Raikkonen in a very extreme way, and came to the fifth place.
Very thrilling!
Even Cosell, who has always been famous for his radicalism, couldn't help but use these three words to define Zhang Yifei's overtaking action just now.
In a sense, Kossel underestimated the strength of Finnish driver Kimi, treating him as an ordinary rookie, and thinking that Zhang Yifei was enough to surpass him in two laps.
I can only say that the final performance of this Finnish successor exceeded Kossel's expectations, and his defense was done well. Even if Zhang Yifei could stabilize the car in the end, he had certain lucky elements. He really took it for granted and underestimated his opponent.
But Cosell never regrets the past. Even if Zhang Yifei had an accident, this is a fate that a professional driver should accept calmly. When choosing this kind of racing car that is on the edge of the limit, this is the process that must be gone through.
Zhang Yifei on the track, his heart jumped up at this moment. The overtaking just now was comparable to the previous US Grand Prix sprinting to the death corner!
Although it is not as dangerous as it is, the speed is even better, and the temporary reaction control is even more complicated. He also avoided Kimi Raikkonen's possible collision.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei felt lucky. The controls and decisions just now made a slight mistake. Maybe the game ended at the 130r turn and he would rush out of the track like Kimi Raikkonen.
If the consequences are even more serious, I will have a tragic collision with Kimi, colliding with each other at a speed of up to 300km/h. No frame strength can be stopped. Whether the car will be destroyed or the people will die depends on luck.
However, this emotion and fear were finally maintained for a few seconds, and immediately calmed down his mood and began to sprint towards Ralph Schumacher further ahead. At that time, he would be able to meet with his teammate Alessi and fight side by side as a Prost driver again!
"Ralph, McLaren's Kimi was overtaken by flying. I guess he will enter the station once before attacking you. You have to seize the opportunity."
Sir Williams' voice sounded. He expected that Zhang Yifei's third entry time would be in the next two laps. He would most likely go away Kimi Raikkonen and then enter the station.
So Ralph Schumacher had to take advantage of this last time to launch a general attack on Alessi, otherwise Sir Williams would not be optimistic about Schumacher Jr.'s next move to defend two Prost drivers.
"I know."
Ralph Schumacher responded, but it was not that he did not want to surpass the French veteran Alessi, but that he was frequently blocked and could not surpass him!
With the team's mission and the stimulation of Zhang Yifei's performance, Alaixi burst out with endless fighting spirit at this moment, and making it his ultimate goal to get on the podium.
For the Prost team and for its own honor, Alessi wants to perform the miracle of the Austrian Grand Prix again this time!
So no matter what, he will not give Ralph Schumacher any chance to overtake. The French veteran may not have enough offensive power, but his defensive experience is still here. It is not so easy to surpass him if you are serious.
Just as Sir Williams predicted, after surpassing Kimi Raikkonen, Zhang Yifei used super soft tires and light oil to start frantically brushing his lap speed.
He had to throw Kimi far enough to make up for the time loss when entering the station. At the same time, Zhang Yifei was also anxious. The car had already reached the 42nd lap, and there were only ten laps left after leaving the station. How could he surpass the top three first-class opponents?
The reason why the miracle is amazing is the difficulty of its implementation. Zhang Yifei feels that he has reached a perfect state throughout the game, but he still has not seen the dawn of victory.
After entering the station forty-two laps, the members of the Prost crew also increased their speed as if they were crazy. They had to ensure the entire tire change time, compressed to two seconds.
You should know that this tire change speed is already the limit of stopping in this era, and with this crazy speed, the error rate will increase in geometric state. In order to ensure that there is no mistake, many teams will also relax the time limit of 0:00 to one second for the technician team, but today's Prost team does not have this relaxation option!
Quick! Quick! Quick! Quick!
Every team technician only has this idea in his mind. They know what it means to come to the fifth-ranked position.
It means that a miracle counterattack that once dared not even think about might be staged in Japan's final battle. Now every millisecond that has been won will increase the chance of miracle being achieved by one point.
It is no longer a fight for one person, but a whole convoy working hard for crazy dreams.
"Skuyi (awesome), so fast tire change speed!"
When Ito Yuzuo saw that Zhang Yifei had almost stopped in the parking space, he rushed out of the repair station in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but sigh at the speed of Prost technician.
You should know that unlike the Big Three teams, Prost is just Zhang Yifei, who is famous, and not many people regard the entire team as a strong team. Even Alessi, the second driver, is ignored most of the time.
However, judging from the tire change time and cooperation just now, this inconspicuous team may have the technician quality no worse than those large teams. At least in terms of extreme time, it has reached the top level.
"Prost teams actually have a foundation, and they are quite low-key and pragmatic. It is said that even during the sub-stop race intervals, they often practice hundreds of times to cooperate with the station."
Brendel explained that as a senior commentator, he knew the development history of the Prost team very well. He should not deny the historical heritage just because it was unknown. Including the Ligier team that started fighting in F1 since 1976, Prost background history is nearly 25 years.
It can be said that most teams on the track, including Williams, have less team building history than Captain Prost.
After all, Prost is a private driver, not a manufacturer's background. He has accepted it completely and inherited the ligier team, and has only changed his name.
Moreover, as Brendel knows, with the overall improvement of the team's performance and Zhang Yifei's fighting spirit, the cooperation and cooperation of the technician team are also quite crazy.
During the sub-station event, they often push the car into the team and then practice cooperating with the station. After changing the tire or refueling, they push the car backward, simulating the driver's entry process again.
Therefore, there is not no reason why Prost crew members can achieve such speed and accuracy today. They have also put in sweat and effort behind their backs.
"Is that so? Then this reminds me of an old Chinese saying, divine hard work."
Ito Yuzuo still has some research on Chinese culture. To be precise, the upper class of Japanese people are not unfamiliar with Chinese culture, and the higher the level, the more familiar it is.
Now it seems that any sudden emergence is bound to be hard work behind it.
After leaving the station, Zhang Yifei was barely stuck in front of Kimi Raikkonen, and soon took advantage of the new tires, leaving the Finnish Iceman behind without giving him any chance to rush up and fight.
Now Zhang Yifei is in a very urgent time, with only the last ten laps of the schedule, and it should not be a problem to get Ralph Schumacher. But in the last two boss-level drivers, the Ferrari Golden Combination, is not so easy to break through.
Moreover, the Ferrari strategy team is quite tough. He can give up Barrichello directly at any time and make him a completely sacrificed wingman blocking vehicle. It is more difficult for Zhang Yifei to surpass it.
Do your best and leave your destiny!
Zhang Yifei kicked the accelerator and used these six words to express his feelings to the whole game. He has really reached the limit. As for whether he can defeat the Ferrari heroes in the end, it depends on the fate of heaven!
The 44th lap of the race, and in front of Zhang Yifei, there was a blue and white Williams "Sabretooth Tiger" racing car. After leaving the station, paired with the super soft tire with the best grip at the track, Zhang Yifei increased his speed to the extreme, and in a short time he caught up with Ralph Schumacher.
Of course, in addition to Zhang Yifei's speed, there is also Alessi's contribution. His crazy blocking line, Schumacher, also created an opportunity for Zhang Yifei to catch up, otherwise he would not have come to the rear of Williams' racing so soon.
"Oh, Ralph is not as good as his brother Michael after all."
Sir Williams from the maintenance station sighed. He thought that it would be no problem for Schumacher to surpass Alessi, but he unexpectedly let Zhang Yifei catch up.
Now that Ralph Schumacher is facing two Prost racing cars, the ending is basically destined, and he still disappoints himself a little.
Simmonds looked at Sir Williams' disappointment and comforted him: "Actually, Ravl performed very well throughout the season, won two sub-station championships, and currently ranked fourth in points."
"He cannot be asked by Michael's standards. In the entire history of F1, few of them can reach Michael's level. Especially at the same time, the two Schumachers cannot be allowed on the track."
Listening to Simmonds' words, why don't Sir Williams understand the truth?
But as Michael Schumacher's younger brother, Ralph is destined to bear different attention and expectations.
