The warm beads passed quickly, and all the drivers returned to the starting point again, waiting for the official race to come.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei's face was very serious, and he did not care about the opponent beside him at all. Instead, he locked his eyes tightly on the starting signal light. His fingers were already on the clutch plate, and his right foot was suspended above the accelerator, making preparations for everything to start.

The only difference is that Zhang Yifei adjusted the gear from the previous first gear position to the second gear position, and he planned to start directly from the second gear.

The first gear torque of the F1 racing car is extremely exaggerated. Many ordinary performance cars start to eject. The operation method is placed on the F1. If you step down the accelerator, it will definitely not pop out, but burn the tires on the rear wheels in place.

The reason is that the instant torque and horsepower exceeds the tire's grip, so even the bald tire can't bite the ground, and only idling and slipping can occur.

This is why drivers at the F1 level will fail to start. Because even the simplest start of the f1 racing car, the requirements for throttle control can be described as abnormal. If a little lighter, the opponent will start and overtake.

If the step is heavy, it means burning the tires on the spot, and the racing car cannot rush out as soon as possible.

In order to avoid this problem, many rookie drivers try to choose the second gear starting method, which will reduce the torque a lot and the difficulty of controlling the throttle will also be reduced.

However, on a normal dry track, the starting speed of the second gear is not as strong as the first gear. If the opponent starts perfectly and finds an overtaking route, there will also be a starting and overtaking scenario.

So there is no perfect starting choice, only the relative driver's control strength!

But there is an exception in this situation, that is, the slippery track is wet and slippery, and most drivers choose to start at the second gear. The reason is that the slippery track has a relatively low grip and can just adapt to the torque in the second gear. If you use the first gear, it will be easier to slip.

The five indicator lights lit up one after another. When they were turned off, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator and started the race, and immediately changed lanes to seize the middle lane. The whole process was extremely rapid and did not give his opponent any chance to start and overtake.

Seize the middle lane and complete the vehicle blocking operation as soon as possible, press Schumacher on the right behind his car. Another very important reason is that on rainy tracks, most lines are not cut edges, and even when you turn, you don’t choose tangent lines. If you can walk in the middle, try to walk in the middle.

The reason is very simple. When you stand on the main road on rainy days, you will always gather on both sides of the road. The more in the middle, the less water will accumulate and the dryer the road will be.

The same is true for the F1 track. The rainwater must be lined up on both sides. No designer will have a lot of imagination, allowing the rainwater to gather in the middle, turning driving into a boat.

Not to mention the Singapore track, it is transformed from the street, and the drainage system is naturally on the track. Therefore, the racing car can avoid water accumulation and wheel slipping as much as possible.

As a veteran of the track, Schumacher naturally knew this very well, so when the indicator lights were on, he was ready to seize the intermediate track.

If you can change lanes faster than Zhang Yifei, even if you just jump in the front of the car, Schumacher will have the advantage of starting and use an alternative way to start and overtake.

Schumacher, who was at his peak, started perfectly. It can be said that the operation process is smooth and textbooks generally cannot find any flaws. But just when he was planning to change lanes to grab Zhang Yifei's middle lane, he suddenly found a yellow-black Renault racing car. The front nose wing had already seized his lane change space and was in the rear wheel position.

If Schumacher still chooses to change lanes at this time, even if the front of the car is rushing in, when the body is about to be straightened, the wheel will touch the front nose of the Renault racing car behind it.

Before Schumacher made a decision, Renault's speedup was very fierce in the flash. The front of the car directly crossed the Ferrari's body and interrupted. Not to mention occupying the middle lane, Schumacher is now going to be directly overtaken by the rear car!

Helio started so fast?

Even Schumacher had been through the battlefield for a long time, he never expected that Helio, who was ranked third, could drive Renault racing to such a shocking start and overtake himself. This is a humiliating operation!

Not to mention Schumacher, even the entire track was in an uproar at this moment. The cheers that had begun the race all came to an abrupt end. Everyone looked at the scene on the track with unbelievable eyes.

No one could have imagined that Schumacher, who was at his peak, drove the Mars rover f2002, which is known as the unity of car and man, and was the first show of the F1 of Indy annual champion Helio, and completed the opening game and overtaking!

The members of the Ferrari repair station and the strategy team were stunned. They were waiting for Schumacher to complete the start of overtaking Zhang Yifei, but they never expected that this kind of thing would happen to them. Helio took the lead in seizing the intermediate track and accelerated faster!

"Impossible, there is no problem with Shumi starting, and she even feels that she flies faster than a pole driver. How could she be overtaken by Helio? Is Renault racing so strong?"

When Jean Todd saw this scene, even though he had decades of career experience, he couldn't help but lose his composure at this moment!

You should know that he is full of confidence in this year's Ferrari racing and Schumacher, and even once thought there was no problem in defending the world championship. Schumacher will usher in his three consecutive championships and become the five-champion champion who is comparable to the legendary driver!

And Ferrari will also achieve the great achievement of four consecutive championships under its own leadership, becoming the peak that everyone can look up to!

Unexpectedly, the start of the new season would collapse so much, and he was a newcomer who only joined F1 this year to start and overtake. Even if the opponent is the Indy World Champion, the Indy World Champion has no supreme status in the F1 paddock!

One of the Ferrari Tridents, technical director Ross Brown, faced with such a scene, was not as ruthless as Jean Todd, but a calm analysis of the reasons.

"Helio chose soft tires. On the dry track in the starting area, the grip is much better than the patterned semi-rain tires, which gives him the advantage of starting speed."

"There is another very important point, that is, the transmission of Renault Racing is different from other teams. They only have six gears, so the gears are looser. Their first gear start is equivalent to the position between first gear and second gear of the seven-speed gear. The starting torque is greater than that of the second gear, and the risk is not as high as the conventional first gear. It can be said that today's rain battle starts is very suitable for Renault Racing's six-speed gearbox!"

Ross Brown mentioned the deep reason why Schumacher was overtaken by the start, that is, the structure of Renault racing is an alien on the F1 track. When other teams chose a more advanced seven-speed gearbox, Renault still insisted on a six-speed gearbox.

Later, relying on the advantage of the gearbox and Alonso's excellent performance, he completed two consecutive championships in 2005 and 2006.

If one gear is missing, it is a disadvantage at high speed, especially at extreme speeds. However, due to the different gear ratios, Renault Racing can obtain more torque at medium and low speeds to improve the acceleration performance of the car.

With the soft tires and the torque advantage of gears, the starting speed is naturally much faster than the regular second gear start. With Shanghai Leo, you can't really treat him as a newcomer. After all factors, Schumacher was overtaken by starting and overtaking, which is beyond expectations and reasonable!

Jean Todd didn't know about these things, but as the team manager, he still felt a little unacceptable to Schumacher's sudden overtaking.

"It seems we still despise this American boy."

Jean Todd's tone returned to calm. Since things had happened, he could only choose to accept it. Moreover, Schumacher is definitely not the kind of driver who jumps to the end. Being overtaken by starting is more emotionally unacceptable and cannot have much impact on the final result.

If someone can be overtaken by a car, it will affect the mentality of the next race, and Schumacher will not become the F1 car god!

After Zhang Yifei seized the middle lane on the track, he immediately looked at the rearview mirror, wanting to observe Schumacher's position and prepare to block the car.

But when he found that the one following his car was not the familiar red Ferrari car, but a "yellow lightning" Renault car, Zhang Yifei instantly wondered if he had hallucinations!

You're going to be a mother! Can Schumacher be overtaken by someone?

Zhang Yifei was so surprised that he wanted to swear all kinds of swear words. He had imagined countless starting possibilities before the race, and even had to be overtaken by Schumacher, but he could never imagine that such a thing could happen to the god of car, and he was still overtaken by Helio.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei wanted to know what had just happened, and even had the urge to turn on the convoy's voice and ask Cosel.

However, in the face of Helio's rapid approaching, he put down the shock of Schumacher, but stepped on the accelerator and accelerated wildly. The scene where Zhang Yifei didn't want to be overtaken happened to him so quickly.

After all, facing soft tires, on the long straight between the starting point and Turn 1, your half-rain tire has no speed advantage, and you need to rely on the car to block the rear.

It is obvious that after Helio completed the start of overtaking Schumacher, his condition and momentum suddenly increased. With the advantages of tires and medium-low acceleration, he bit Zhang Yifei's rear of the car, and the distance between the two cars was instantly shortened to within 1 meter.

Want to be superego? It's not that easy!

Zhang Yifei felt the pressure of the car behind him, and the expression on his face instantly changed from surprise to coldness. No matter how fierce the Indy champion was, in front of him, even a dragon had to be siding for me, and even a tiger had to be lying on it!
