"It's still behind"

Evans looked at the scene on the track and subconsciously spoke.

He comes from the UK, the top racing car, and is naturally very familiar with Patton, the British driver.

If some F1 drivers are the kind of nerve knife, the upper limit of running is very high and the lower limit is also very collapsed, then Patton is a horizontal line.

He rarely runs out of a lap like Senna or Schumacher in a single lap, breaking track records in various ways, and future generations cannot surpass anything.

But Patton will not suddenly fall in a certain game and be left behind after a sudden fall. Always enter the points zone steadily and rely on accumulation of strength to win the final victory is Patton's characteristic.

The opposite of this is probably the later Lotus Racing team Roman Grosjen.

As a driver with little strength and a weak team with low rankings, he often takes the podium when he is awesome, such as his peak period in 2013.

When it was broken, it was really a mess on the track, with various crashes at any time, and even the warm beads could hit the wall, which was simply a bit "shocking".

So Grosjean has the nickname "Ge Daqi". The reason for his original gain was that Lotus Team owed wages in 2013, Kimi Raikkonen broke up with the team, and then Grosjean said he would carry the team's banner.

In fact, he did do it in 2013, but later people discovered that this guy not only could carry the flag of the team, but also the yellow flag, red flag, black flag, etc. on the track (indicating different accident levels), so he confirmed the title of "Ge Daqi".

Compared with the track nerve knife, stable stream drivers like Patton are actually the most difficult thing for the "weaker".

Unless you can be more powerful than him, you will never find his mistakes and loopholes and create miracles to win the game.

The track nerve knife may be far ahead, and it is very likely that it will be a big deal to mess it up and give up the victory!

"Isn't it normal to fall behind? Evans, do you also have the luxury of winning in your heart of the North King?"

When Genji Ito next to him heard this, he replied in surprise.

For a data analyst, emotions have never been able to control rational thinking, even if Lin Xiangbei is the driver of his team. Therefore, Genji Ito has no hope of defeating Patton.

And Genji Ito is also very clear that this British chief technician is also not optimistic about Lin Xiangbei's victory.

Since you have been mentally prepared for a long time, why do you still say such words dominated by emotions?

Faced with Ito Genji's questioning, Evans's face changed slightly, but soon he would return to the old-fashioned British seriousness and replied expressionlessly.

"I just think that starting is the only stage where he can temporarily gain an advantage. If he even lags behind in the start, he will be crushed by Patton throughout the whole process!"

"Then what is your standard for crushing?"

"At least 1 second behind in a single lap, and more than 2 seconds behind overall."

Hearing Evans' conclusion, Genji Ito shook his head and replied: "I don't think Xiangbeijun is that weak."

“What is the basis?”

Evans knows Ito Genji's style very well. He always speaks based on data. Since he can say such words, he must have his own reasons.

"Do you still remember the match between the German team and the United States in the group stage?"

After reminding Ito Genji, a picture instantly appeared in Evans's mind.

In this ROC National Cup, the US team sent a strange professional driver second only to motorcycles, who is Foster, the champion of the American Drift Competition.

For traditional professional racing cars, except for some sections with particularly poor grip, which will be used in rally racing, other racing cars abandon drifting and running methods, which are purely a fancy and waste time.

But when such a drift champion was fighting against Schumacher, he relied on drift to "kill the car god down".

In another duel, the American Rally champion was afraid of Stella, so he also drifted wildly, which made Vettel breathless. If he hadn't played too much and had a small mistake on the last corner, the strongest German team might have been so cold.

In other words, the grip of this bird's nest track is worse than many drivers imagine. You can drift through corners at full speed, as long as you have this wild heart and dare to play and have the ability to control it!

"You mean to let North use drift to defeat Patton?"

"Well, although the Bird's Nest is a semi-indoor track, the temperature in Yanjing is too low after snow. Many sections of the track are condensed after high temperatures, which tend to condense into ice, which increases the drifting turn speed and reduces the tangent turn speed."

"If Xiang Beijun could seize this opportunity, he might be faster than before!"

Hearing Ito Genji's analysis, Evans immediately shook his head and expressed his objection. The data analyst should have been very rational in thinking, but now this Japanese is actually whimsical?

"Impossible. Even if the drift speed can be increased, North's control is not as good as the two top drift masters of Team USA."

"And the reason why Team USA wins is related to Schumacher's carelessness. Later, Vettel was serious and did not give them any chance. With Patton's character, he would not give North any chance!"

Genji Ito did not refute Evans, on the contrary, this was a more rational and normal conclusion.

But there are many things that still have theoretical possibilities, so they should not be ignored. This is also the basic ethics of a data analyst.

By drifting and turning, before the race, Ito Genji had already told Lin Xiangbei that whether to adopt the specific choice on the track is Lin Xiangbei's own choice.

As Evans said, the risk of drifting and turning is extremely high. Even the rally champion who is known as the "King of Drift" in the United States is afraid that Stella will be played. Lin Xiangbei cannot be stronger than this champion, and Qi Barton will not give him a chance.

But this is an opportunity after all, and maybe even the only opportunity!

On the track, Lin Xiangbei looked at the parallel lane, and was ahead of him. An emotional change finally appeared in his heart.

You should know that the control technology he is most proud of is actually the start of racing. Even in the F1 field in his previous life, Lin Xiangbei did not lag much behind foreign drivers in terms of starting speed.

More importantly, Lin Xiangbei lost a lot of foreign drivers at cornering speed and sharp braking against high G value.

Now his best place was defeated by the other party. The indomitable momentum that Lin Xiangbei had accumulated in China before was actually greatly affected.

After all, he inherited the driving skills of his previous life and inherited a lot of his thinking inertia in his previous life. Perhaps in his bones, he did not have absolute confidence on the surface. Especially when facing the world's top experts, the "shadow" that was crushed and lost too much in his previous life began to linger.

The first bend is cut, Patton can be said to be able to achieve the ultimate goal. When to click the brake, judge the route of the bend, and control the speed limit, you can't find any problem. It's as accurate as a textbook.

Perhaps it is this kind of manipulation that makes Jenson Patton, who is not prominent in all aspects, finally become the F1 world champion.

Lin Xiangbei's turn is actually not slow, it has completely surpassed the level of domestic drivers, and it is reasonable in world events.

But the problem is that Lin Xiangbei is not facing ordinary world-class drivers, he is facing the F1 world champion. It is reasonable that this standard is rubbish in F1, let alone the championship level!

It is no exaggeration to say that the world champion of F1 is the peak driver in the car world, the kind that everyone else must look up to!

Lin Xiangbei, a tangent cornering skill that used to look excellent and exceeded the rally drivers, suddenly became very mediocre, and was no match for Patton at all, and was lagging behind again on the curve.

When it came out of Turn 1, the speed comparison was already widened by a body gap.

It can be foreseen that this gap will continue to be widened by Patton in the next curve confrontation, and eventually form an absolutely crushing attitude!

"There is indeed a big gap. It's not that Lin Xiangbei is weak, but that Patton is too strong."

Looking at the scene on the track, Pan Yong said with some emotion, except for a little regret, there was not much sadness or pain in his tone.

To be honest, it was already beyond the tone of the Chinese team before the game. Now, facing a F1 world champion driver like Jenson Patton, it is natural to be led or crushed.

Lin Xiangbei has done his best, but he just doesn’t have the strongest strength.

"Well, Lin Xiangbei is actually very fast in cornering. Facing a super driver like Patton, he can stabilize his mind and exert his strength. He is worthy of the title of Chinese car king, which also proves the strength of Chinese drivers!"

He Bing also gave Lin Xiangbei acknowledgement, and even praised it.

When he reaches this point, he really can't ask too much about Lin Xiangbei. He did what he should do beyond the standard.

The audience at the scene may have been influenced by the commentary He Bing and Pan Yong. Most of them did not react too aggressively in the face of Lin Xiangbei's backwardness, and were cheering him up.

After all, car fans understand that the first round of games is the strength that Chinese drivers should have. It is a bit unscientific to be able to reach the semi-finals against the F1 world champion now.

But if someone supports it, there will definitely be someone to object. Especially before the game, Lin Xiangbei and Han Han were very arrogant, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many fans.

Moreover, some car fans are indeed narrow-minded. They will brag if they win and lose if they lose, and they will not consider the actual situation or the athlete's strength at all.

Just like Liu Xiang, who withdrew from the Bird's Nest track last year, is now in the stage of being black all over the Internet. No one cares that he has participated in 95 international competitions and won the 50 world championships at once denied all his contributions.

"Didn't you brag very well before the game? You're at this level after running two games?"

"I also said that I am better than the national football team. I think that you and Han Han are not much better than the national football team!"

"You can't even see the taillights of the car, you're a rookie!"

Moreover, not only some Chinese audiences began to feel unhappy, but even some foreign audiences on the track began to mock Lin Xiangbei when they saw Lin Xiangbei lagging behind.

You should know that many foreigners have this mentality. When you are in the real rookie stage, they will perform very well and can even cheer you up.

But once you become a threat to them, you will naturally develop a hostility. Racing is always a field dominated by white Europeans and Americans. You, a Chinese driver, don’t want to defeat the world champion!

"Chinese drivers are still not good, novices are novices after all."

"Just like North, this newcomer, still want to challenge world champion Patton?"

"If you can beat Vettel, you will be lucky. Chinese boys should give up quickly!"

As Lin Xiangbei lagged behind more and more obvious, this sarcastic voice gradually arose.

Although this is the home court of the Chinese track and ridicule or even insult is not the mainstream voice, it is still transmitted to the old alcoholic, because the VIP audience area behind the repair station area is basically left to foreign audiences, which is also the usual style of Chinese sports events and taking care of international friends.

But many times, this so-called "international friend" is not that friendly.

"Genji, is there really a possibility of success in the drift method you told Xiangbei before?"

The old drunkard suddenly asked Genji Ito in the repair station.

Faced with the old drunkard's inquiry, the expression on Ito Genji's face was full of surprise. You should know that this Chinese coach or "competition engineer" has not communicated much with him and Evans during this period, and it can be said that there is very little communication with him, two foreign members, who can be said to be.

Because the two sides are in different fields, and Lin Xiangbei's main attack direction is rally, so he and Evans can do the data analysis and racing maintenance of the main job, and the rest are all about coach Xu Lang.

In addition, there are some language barriers, and I can also speak Chinese, so I can barely communicate. Most of the time, I communicate with Le Zai and Lin Xiangbei in English. As for Xu Lang, I never spoke in English. Genji Ito thought that this middle-aged coach did not understand English.

But Xu Lang said this question just now. Although he could hear it was unfamiliar and his grammar was worse than that of a Japanese, he was indeed practical in English!

"Yes, the two drivers of the US team drifted through the corners throughout the whole process, and the speed was not slower than that of the German team. The current field environment is higher and suitable for drifting. The route towards Beijun is completely inferior to Patton, so there may be some chance of drifting."

When he heard Ito Genji confirm, the old drunkard pressed the dedicated call button on the headphones with a cold expression.

"Boy, I've been running the rally drift for half a year. Are you confident now?"

Suddenly, when he heard the old drunkard saying something from his headphones, Lin Xiangbei instantly understood what he was saying.

To be honest, this is also what Lin Xiangbei is currently hesitating. He spent almost half a year to restrain his instinct to move and practice the center of gravity control of the drifting vehicle in the rally race.
