416 Reduction Gear (Chapter 3)

It’s not that enemies don’t meet, Hydefield’s hatred for Alessi is very light. He believes that his entire rookie season was ruined by Alessi.

In the last stop in Australia, Hydefield beat Alessi and ranked fourth and scored 3 points, which can be said to be the highlight of his life.

At the same time, he has proved himself that so many withdrawals in the Prost team are not because of his lack of strength, but because of the Prost team being too bad, and the No. 1 driver, French veteran Alessi, bullying too much!

However, in the Sepang track, the complex track environment and numerous track overtaking points make veterans like Alessi feel like fish. Alessi's performance in the qualifying competition was not very good, but in the main competition, he beat Hydefield and always led the way in front of him.

Hydefield tried to overtake several times, but was perfectly blocked by Alessi. Just like Zhang Yifei and Montoya "drawing dragons", wasting a lot of time and speed.

In a sense, Alessi's various car blocking behaviors were also slowing down his own and Hydefield's speed in disguise, which gave Zhang Yifei the opportunity to catch up easily.

Heidfield actually felt that Alessi was deliberately blocking the car in front of him with a personal emotion. At some point in time, Hydefield could not control his urge to crash, thinking that he might just knock Alessi out of the track.

After all, he has played several boxing games with Alaisi, and he actually has no psychological disadvantages.

But in the end, Hydefield still endured it because the grudge between him and Alessi was so famous. The intentional collision between other drivers could also find some excuses to quarrel, but it would be enough to refuse to admit it anyway.

If the FIA ​​wants to punish it, it will be fined if it is unlucky or depart from the repair station.

If he deliberately knocked Alessi out of the track, he would definitely be unable to avoid a dangerous driving penalty.

Dangerous driving is actually a serious violation in F1. The lighter punishment is to cancel the current station score, departure from the pit area, etc. If the punishment is heavier, the annual results will be cancelled, which means that all points will be cleared.

And the most serious revocation of the super driver's license is like the later Japanese driver Ai Yuji, who will completely leave the f1 paddock.

Schumacher had been punished for dangerous driving. In the final match of Spain in the 1997 season, he led Villeneuve with a slight advantage of 1 point. However, during the race, Schumacher found that his car had a slight failure and the speed began to slow down.

So on lap 48, the leading Schumacher was caught up by Villeneuve. As long as Villeneuve can successfully overtake, his total points will surpass Schumacher and become the 1997 F1 World Championship.

With Schumacher's personality, he would never give up the world championship! So when Lenniu was about to overtake, Schumacher directly hit the steering wheel and crashed into Villeneuve's racing car.

He thought that even if both of them withdrew from the competition, he would become the annual champion with his weak lead of one point.

But Schumacher did not expect that Villeneuve had already been prepared. Even if he was knocked out of the track, he drove the damaged car to complete the race and overtaken the points.

Schumacher's malicious car crash was too obvious. The FIA ​​directly canceled Schumacher's annual results and deprived him of the runner-up title. However, according to Schumacher's personality, he probably has no interest in the runner-up title.

Historical punishment is ahead. It is difficult for Hydefield to clear the suspicion of deliberately crashing, and he does not have the qualifications and strength of Schumacher. If he really encounters severe punishment from the FIA, it may not be as simple as canceling the score, but whether he can continue to hang in the f1 paddock is a problem.

So even if Hydefield is unhappy, he can only endure his temper and seek an opportunity to surpass Alessi, instead of knocking out this French opponent!

While Hydefield was waiting for the opportunity to overtake, the team reminded him that there was a car approaching behind him. He looked into the rearview mirror and found that it was a blue Prost car.

Seeing this blue paint, even if he didn't look at the number of the driver on the front of the car, Hydefield knew who the driver behind him was. After all, Alessi in front had been fighting with him for a long time, and naturally behind him was Zhang Yifei, another driver of the Prost team.

To be honest, when Heidfield saw that it was Zhang Yifei catching up, he was still shocked.

Departing from the pit area is almost equivalent to a penalty of 5 seconds. However, when you are in the middle and upper reaches of the qualifying competition, the bigger the time gap between you and Zhang Yifei is, which may take about 10 seconds.

As a result, Zhang Yifei has only run for more than ten laps now, and Zhang Yifei has caught up. Even if the battle with Alaisi has delayed some time, it is absolutely impossible to have as many as ten seconds. This means that Zhang Yifei's lap speed is very fast, so he can catch up with him. The strength of Chinese newcomers cannot be underestimated!

One in front and one behind, the other was caught by two Prost cars, which was something Hydefield had never thought of.

Although Prost is the first stop in Hydefield's career, he has no fondness for Prost. In addition, he has been blocked by Alessi for so long, Hydefield's stomach has a lot of resentment. Since Zhang Yifei has arrived at the door, he will make the anger he has suffered and let Zhang Yifei feel it.

So Hydefield began to change lanes and blocked directly in front of Zhang Yifei. His meaning was very obvious, that was, he planned to guard Zhang Yifei strictly and would not let him over easily.

Zhang Yifei was not surprised by Hydefield's move. Except for the "old" drivers who are preparing to paddle on the track, no young and energetic normal F1 driver would give his opponent the opportunity to overtake easily.

Not to mention that Hydefield also has an old grudge with Prost team, and now he has been blocked by Alessi for so long, it would be strange if he is willing to let him go!

So Zhang Yifei began to tangents frantically, hoping to use the limit route to surpass the Hydefield in front.

However, Zhang Yifei's several tentative attacks were blocked by the opponent, and he had to admit that Hydefield's strength was much stronger than Marquis.

He deserves to be a driver who beat Kimi Raikkonen in the newcomer stage. Heidefield has solid basic skills and precise control and routes. He blocks Zhang Yifei's overtaking route every time. It is not easy to overtake quickly.

Seeing that Zhang Yifei had failed several times overtaking tests, members of the strategy group began to discuss a response plan in Prost fleet repair station.

"Fei's ranking has risen by nine places. Today's performance on the track can be described as excellent. Maybe there is a possibility of rushing into the division and creating miracles! In addition, Fei is originally the No. 1 driver and should enjoy the inclination of team resources. I think the wingman plan should be activated!"

The team leader Henry said his thoughts, but he said it more tactfully. In fact, the core strategy is to let Alessi take the initiative to press the car and then let Zhang Yifei go, so as to complete the overtaking in the fastest and easiest way, "two against one", which is also the most commonly used team tactic on the F1 track.

But now the problem is that as Hydefield began to entangle with Zhang Yifei, Alessi took this opportunity to open the distance between them. After all, his relationship with Zhang Yifei was just average, and Hydefield just happened to change his target, so he was not polite.

But at this time, Alessi's competition engineer Cod immediately raised an objection. Mobile::

"Alessi is already ahead at this time. Asking him to slow down and push the car will undoubtedly reduce the team's competitiveness. If Fei still fails to seize the opportunity to overtake, or is defended by Hydefield, the two drivers of our team will be in a deadlock."

Cod naturally stood at a more biased perspective towards Alessi, but what he said made sense, that is, Alessi is now ahead, and if he wants to slow down and push the car, it will slow down the overall speed of the team.

Moreover, Zhang Yifei may not be able to easily surpass him. Even if he exceeds him, unless Zhang Yifei's lap next time is amazing, it would be better to let Alexe, who is already leading, compete for points.

After all, on the Sepang track, the veteran's experience can have a great advantage, and Alessi's condition continues to improve. Maybe he can really make it into the top six!

"I think what Cod said makes sense. If the speed-down pressure vehicle is not reduced, then Alessi will be a stable lead. If the speed-down pressure vehicle is released as a wingman, then all the subsequent pressure will be carried on the flying body."

"Whether he can withstand such pressure and continue to surpass and enter the top six points, these are uncertain factors. And the gap between Fei Now and the sixth-place driver Truly is as high as 34 seconds. Can you really catch up?"

Chief technician Charlie also expressed his thoughts. He felt that it was too difficult to let Zhang Yifei compete, so it would be better to keep the status quo and let Alice, who was already leading, sprint to the points zone. The chances might be greater.

"Cosell, what do you think?"

Prost did not make a decision directly, but asked Cosell, who had never spoken, that he was the chief competition engineer.

"Alaisi's limit may not necessarily enter the points zone, but the limit of flying can definitely enter the points zone. Let Alaisi slow down the car."

"Can you be sure to fly into the points zone?"

Prost is actually relatively optimistic about Zhang Yifei, but he does not have such decisive answer as Cosell.

"I'm not God, how can I be sure?"

"I only know one thing, that is, if the two of them say who can create miracles, they must be flying!"

Listening to Cosel's affirmative reply, Prost also made a decision and said: "Give the team order, Alessi slowed down and blocked Hydefield and let the flight go."

Hearing that the boss had already issued the order, as Alessi's competition engineer, Cod could only press the red call button on the headset.
