420 Making Wedding Dresses for Others
"Schumacher entered the station as soon as possible."
"Frenzen, the Jordan team currently ranked fourth, has entered the station."
"Montoya started with super soft tires, and he chose to enter the station."
Because of Zhang Yifei's previous inquiry, the fleet maintenance station kept passing on the information of his opponent's entry to him at this time.
This information is not only to let Zhang Yifei understand the situation on the track, but also to give him strong confidence!
Who would have thought that a pure newcomer who set out from the pit area could directly reach the eighth position in more than ten laps?
In addition to relying on Schumacher to overtake Montoya, Zhang Yifei surpassed thirteen cars in a row on the track, and on average, Zhang Yifei surpassed one opponent in every lap.
Without Montoya's overtaking, Zhang Yifei's ranking could still rise to one place and reach the seventh position of the track.
This kind of record and efficiency, not to mention the newcomer, even if it is placed on famous drivers, can be described in the word "excellent"!
Even Henry, who kept reporting the track information, had a slightly trembling tone due to excitement. In the history of the Prost team, in addition to using the Toyota engine in the first season, he created similar miracles.
In the next few years, due to the Peugeot engine and Prost insisting on starting French drivers, the results continued year by year. Today, Zhang Yifei's crazy transcendence made Henry, the old man from the ligier era, feel that his blood and passion have returned to him.
The Chinese newcomer has delivered a perfect answer, it depends on whether he can keep this miracle until the end!
Almost everyone at the fleet repair station was full of expectations. Even if Cosell, who had always been calm, felt that this stop would become Zhang Yifei's showtime (showtime).
So far, the strategies formulated before the game have been very successful and successful, and the only luck factor in the tactics has been filled by Alessi with his withdrawal from the game.
It can be said that the adverse factors brought about from the pit area have been eliminated, and it depends on Zhang Yifei's performance next.
However, the mentality of "destiny belongs to heaven" in the maintenance station has not lasted for long before it was broken by the green flag on the track that indicated that the obstacles had been cleared and the competition has returned to normal.
With the emergence of the green flag, the safety car also retreated into the exit channel. The safety car, which was originally expected to be more than one lap, only after only 30 seconds, the competition returned to normal again.
The 30-second car pressure time is not enough for Zhang Yifei, who is 45 seconds behind Schumacher, to recover.
Because the car was pressed down only slower, instead of stopping on the track, the drivers were still moving forward. Therefore, it is not possible to simply use 45 to subtract 30 to calculate. Zhang Yifei actually lags behind much longer than 15 seconds.
According to the plan, the 45-second lap time required to press the car for one to two laps before smoothing it out. As a result, the time for pressing the car is less than a quarter. Zhang Yifei is still behind the first car Schumacher for about 30 seconds, and the gap with third-place Coothard is also more than 20 seconds.
More importantly, this time of driving is that it makes the drivers who enter the station to change tires smile, perfectly offsetting the time they should have wasted on entering the station!
The advantage of the three-stage tactics formulated by the strategy group is that the speed of lap is naturally fast, and the disadvantage is that it will take a lot of time to enter the station, which may offset the speed leading caused by lap speed.
If the balance ratio between the advantages and disadvantages is the issue that the team strategy group needs to consider, it is also a place to show the level of a team strategy group.
Now they have no time disadvantage of getting into the station and changing tires. This is very unfavorable news for Zhang Yifei, which is equivalent to the opportunity to crush the car created by Alaixi, who has made wedding dresses for others!
You should know that Zhang Yifei's biggest advantage in choosing a one-stop hard tire tactic is that he can enter the station one or two less than other drivers. He can use the saved time to get back the disadvantages in starting and speed.
As a result, this advantage is offset by the time of the car being crushed. Apart from a few leading racing cars, Zhang Yifei, the original biggest beneficiary, actually made no profit.
If Alessi's efforts to withdraw from the race are included, he may also make an influx in the division, and then Prost team will be a loss!
"This group of people pushed the accident race car into the buffer zone and lit the green flag. Is it necessary to be so rush?"
Henry originally felt that the prospects were great, but when he saw the green flag lit up on the track, he felt like he was falling into hell!
You should know that the safety car was dispatched this time when Prost team "sacrificed" a driver. I originally thought that it would completely smooth out Zhang Yifei's backward gap, but unexpectedly, after the event staff pushed the accident car to the buffer lawn, the green flag that returned to normal was directly lit up.
With Henry's more than ten years of team leader experience in the F1 paddock, he naturally understood what this means. It is equivalent to Prost team. He made wedding dresses for those three parking teams, so he complained and was unwilling to accept it!
"Hedfield rear-end collision directly knocked Alessi out of the track, leaving no enough parts fragments on the track, and there was less link to clean the track fragments during the barrier cleaning process, so we miscalculated the safety car pressure."
Prost replied in a heavy tone. Alessi's last horizontal stopping action triggered the safety car to move. However, the crash was at the edge of the track, and both cars rushed into the sand and gravel buffer zone, which actually did not have a big impact on track safety.
Alessi actually thought of this, so he drove the car back to the track and stopped horizontally.
It can only be said that Alessi has tried his best to create conditions, but the progress of the event cannot be completely followed by the script of Prost team, so this kind of accident occurred.
Now that things have come to this point, no matter how much you complain, it is useless to be unwilling to give up. This is competitive sports. No one knows what the ending will be before the end.
Zhang Yifei on the track naturally saw the green flag waving in the hands of the staff. To be honest, it was beyond his expectations that the restrictions on track safety cars were lifted so quickly.
However, compared to the unwillingness of the team members, Zhang Yifei, the person involved, accepted this result more calmly. After all, he was a professional driver in his previous life and had experienced too many dramatic changes on the track, and he had long been accustomed to it.
The drivers who had taken advantage of the time of driving to enter the station before, after lifting the exit restrictions, rushed out of the maintenance channel, hoping to maintain their lead.
However, the rankings on the track still changed. Schumacher, who was ranked first before, fell to the third place. Because of the entry, he lagged behind Barrichello and Coothard.
But this kind of backwardness is only temporary, because neither Barrichello nor Kurthard chose to enter the station, and Schumacher could take advantage of the two of them entering the station to become the first car again.
After Frenzen, who was ranked fourth, did not change his ranking because the top four drivers were equivalent to the first echelon, and there was a huge gap with Trullie, who ranked fifth. Even if it was 20 seconds of entry time, Trullie failed to overtake Frenzen.
Although Trulli is still ranked fifth, the gap between him and Frenzen has basically been brought back to the same echelon from the previous cliff-like gap.
Ranked sixth is Montoya of Williams. If Zhang Yifei's performance today can be described as excellent, then Montoya's performance today can only be described as amazing.
Montoya, who was originally ranked sixth in the competition, started from the pit area with Zhang Yifei due to a start-up failure in the warm bead, and was ranked behind Zhang Yifei, which was equivalent to the last start.
But except for being overwhelmed by Zhang Yifei for several laps, Montoya's performance was simply a trick. He overtook wildly, and he fought from the bottom to the sixth place, and returned to the starting position of his qualifying race.
This kind of average cheating result made Montoya the absolute protagonist on the Sepang track today, and even the limelight has surpassed Schumacher, the pole position.
In addition, the god-level performance of Lian Super 15 cars also surpassed Zhang Yifei of Lian Super 13 cars, and was praised as the most dazzling newcomer on the track today.
Montoya led Zhang Yifei by relying on his god-level performance, but in fact he did not widen the big gap with Zhang Yifei. The time gap between the two sides was only about 2 seconds. So when he stepped forward, he fell directly from the sixth ranking to the top ten.
However, because of this kind of backwardness, all racing cars are not much different because of the safety car. Montoya was able to do more than 15 cars before, but now he has the absolute confidence to return to his position easily, which is nothing more than allowing the audience to experience his strength once again!
Montoya fell behind, and Zhang Yifei, who was originally ranked eighth, rose one place again and came to the seventh position. However, the ranking of the seventh place was quite unstable, and the drivers behind were all eyeing each other.
Especially for drivers who enter the station, light oil and new super soft tires will have a clear advantage in speed. Whether Zhang Yifei can keep his ranking next will be the key point of this game!
Sure enough, when the safety car evacuated, the first one to launch the offensive was the drivers who left the station. Schumacher began to approach Coothard crazily, and he wanted to get his first car back.
Montoya and others behind him attacked Zhang Yifei again. They had an absolute advantage in racing performance and were in a strong period. And among these drivers, a familiar figure appeared, that is Shumach, who used the time of the safety car to kill him again!
Zhang Yifei's situation on the track began to take a sharp turn for the worse. Although the ranking was about to enter the points zone, it was actually full of dangers. Even the track commentator Brendel saw the dangerous situation Zhang Yifei faced!
"Ohmygod, are these drivers crazy after the safety car evacuated? We can clearly feel that almost all drivers are launching an offensive."
"Especially the Chinese driver Fei who caught up with him, he was surrounded by Montoya, Ralph, and even the British and American team Panis. Perhaps his crazy surpassing made many drivers feel dissatisfied and wanted to overtake again."
