Seeing the red Ferrari racing car approaching, Zhang Yifei knew that Schumacher was really here this time. With his pride as the strongest driver, he would definitely not allow himself to be crushed by a Chinese newcomer for 27 laps!

But Zhang Yifei did not give in at all. Even in the face of the attack of the God of Cars, he firmly controlled his steering wheel, held his own line tightly, and did not give Schumacher any chance to grab the line.

10 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm!

The distance between the two cars, with Schumacher's forced, has arrived at a very dangerous car distance.

At this moment, it is no longer a decision for Schumacher to decide whether a car crash will occur.

This kind of car distance that is almost close to the car has exceeded the limit of humans. Even Schumacher cannot dodge. As long as Zhang Yifei shook the steering wheel casually, the collision between the two people will be inevitable.

Even this kind of forcedness has made Zhang Yifei start to have a physiological risk-averse instinct, subconsciously trying to control the car and stay away from Schumacher.

This feeling is like an ordinary person driving and seeing a car on the other side hitting him. Most drivers will subconsciously turn the steering wheel to the left, and their survival instinct allows him to avoid the impact on the opposite side.

If this kind of risk avoidance operation still cannot avoid accidents, the most unlucky thing is the passenger of the co-pilot. Because of this steering wheel, the supposedly head-on collision situation turned into a small-scale impact of 25%.

You should know that all vehicle designs, the most sturdy and safest collision methods, are always head-on collisions. Therefore, when there is no way to avoid it, you would rather hit it head-on than turn the steering wheel randomly.

If there is a side impact or roll, it may die faster.

The protection level of 25% is far less than that of a head-on collision. It may be a situation where two people are slightly injured together, but one becomes a minor injury or nothing, and the other is seriously injured or even dies.

This is why the co-pilot position is rated as the most dangerous position in the traffic accident rate.

Is this situation a driver deliberately killing fellow Taoists? In fact, it is not the case in most cases, because there is no time to think and react, not to mention that the co-pilot often sits with his closest person.

The reason why we do this is because of the most primitive human beings' avoidance instinct. The desire to win makes the driver subconsciously stay away from danger and cannot consider so much.

Now on the track, the illusion that the opponent quickly approaches, and the two cars will immediately collide, Zhang Yifei has the urge to turn the steering wheel all the time!

However, the long-term professional training allowed Zhang Yifei to use his willpower to fight against this physiological instinct.

This is very similar to the instinctive training of a boxer. For example, a normal person will subconsciously dodge and close his eyes when facing a hand that suddenly reaches over. However, a boxer must resist this instinctive behavior of subconsciously closing his eyes, otherwise the opponent will catch the loophole when you close your eyes and swing your body.

So the two racing cars use this extremely close method to tangent. Schumacher relies on his extremely superb driving skills to control the extremely dangerous distance.

Originally, it was impossible for external overtaking to achieve this speed that was the same as the heart under the drive of inertia. As a result, the two blue and red racing cars achieved the effect of turning almost at the same time, and Schumacher was only slightly behind the front of the car!

"It's worthy of being Schumacher. The 3rd corner can basically be done without falling behind. When you enter the short straight, you will be in danger of flying."

Jaguars Racing Manager Nicky Lauda praised Schumacher in an amazing tone.

Although he has won three world championships, the Yangtze River's younger generation pushed the former generation. From Schumacher, Lauda saw what absolute domination means.

This feeling surpassed myself and Prost. Perhaps the only one who stood in front of Schumacher is the only one Senna who has already ascended the throne.

Schumacher's control of the car has reached the absolute centimeter level. If any driver on the current F1 track is not afraid to play this operation on Turn 3 like Schumacher.

It’s not that other drivers are much worse in strength. In fact, they can only control them by simply being called Kurthard, Barrichello, or even Ralph Schumacher. They may be able to do it on a technical level.

But this is during the competition! In addition to technology, it also requires absolute confidence and courage. Any mistake is the birth of a track accident, and it is the kind that cannot be avoided.

From Lauda's perspective, Zhang Yifei's performance in this race is already impeccable. Being able to block Schumacher for 27 laps with Prost car is already the level of a top-notch driver on the track, and no more than 5 can do this.

Among the newcomers in the past two years, no one can do it. Kimi cannot do it, and Montoya cannot even do it. As for Patton, Alonso and others, they are far behind.

However, what Zhang Yifei encountered was Schumacher who had reached his peak state, and Prost Racing, which was lagging behind in performance, it was really not a problem with the Chinese kid's strength. He had tried his best.

If Lauda did not expect, Schumacher could tie the gap in the backward front with the help of the terrain advantage. Then, on the next high-speed right turn, Schumacher could use his strength to completely surpass Zhang Yifei and return to his position that already belonged to him.

The plot development is as Nicky Lauda guessed. After Turn 3 passed, Schumacher began to accelerate the full throttle, intending to completely recover his previous disadvantage on the short straight, and then surpass Zhang Yifei!

The engine roared desperately, and Zhang Yifei turned on the speed limit again, but from the corner of his eyes, he still saw the red Ferrari, which was catching up little by little, just the same as his JS53 racing car.

Zhang Yifei has thought countless times that the drivers who fight Schumacher in this era are desperate inside, because no matter how hard they try, they have an opponent that they cannot catch up with.

Unexpectedly, I felt the despair brought by Schumacher so quickly.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei felt that he had performed at a level of 120%. He had no mistakes from beginning to end, including the car line-to-line pressure, which was perfect.

But even so, Turn 3 on the 27th lap still couldn't stop Schumacher from overtaking. This feeling of being tied by his opponent little by little but being powerless is really uncomfortable!

Give up?

This idea came to Zhang Yifei's mind. It is actually not embarrassing to lose to a great opponent like Schumacher, who is a car god. After all, all drivers of his generation have lost. He is still a newcomer in the same season. Being able to reach the runner-up is already a progress, and it is always better than the previous third place, right?

However, when this idea came up, Zhang Yifei's mind also had those expectant eyes, the cheers on the track, and the expectations of countless people for themselves, thousands of miles away from China, and countless people.

Many times when the competition reaches this stage, it is actually no longer a person fighting, but behind it is a team or even a country.

Just like why Barrichello fought desperately in the Brazil Grand Prix, Montoya even had no choice but to crash, and didn't want Zhang Yifei to win the Brazilian station championship, embarrassing himself in front of countless Colombian compatriots.

In fact, the truth is the same, and they also bear too many hopes.

I won't give up!

These five words appeared in Zhang Yifei's mind, and an extremely firm determination made him throw his weakness aside.

With his right foot pressed hard again, the accelerator pedal was already pushed to the top by Zhang Yifei, and Prost Racing also showed his full strength.

With a short straight of 50 meters, Schumacher can only tie the cornering speed and Ferrari racing performance. It is absolutely impossible to directly eat the ones that you can surpass yourself at such a short distance. No matter how weak the Prost car is, it is not the speed of the tractor!

So at worst, both sides can return to the same starting line again. Who can grab the best tangent line and still lead in the front when entering the next corner!

The two racing cars are getting closer and closer to Turn 4, and neither side shows any sign of brake. The speed has soared from about 100km/h when it comes out of the corner to 200km/h, and even has an upward trend of over 300km/h.

The angle of turn 4 is not small, and it can be regarded as a high-speed corner, but the problem is still a corner, with the upper limit speed of 260km/h, or even lower.

Whether Zhang Yifei or Schumacher, not to mention the brakes, there is no sign of closing the accelerator. Are the two planning to use the full accelerator to turn around?

The problem is that with the blessing of the downhill section, the speed of the car is much faster than expected. If they continue to reach this speed, the speed when entering the corner will exceed 300km/h.

This curve with a speed of 260km/h is no longer something that can be solved by control. It will also rush out of the track due to huge inertia. This is the law of physics!

"Fei is now running side by side with Schumacher. Both of them are amazingly fast and there is no sign of slowing down. Are they all planning to use this speed to pass Turn 4?"

"If I really think so, then I can already predict the ending in advance. The pole position and second driver of the Austrian Grand Prix will both rush out of the track on Turn 4. As for whether it can be returned, it depends on whether the lawn will slip."

Brendel directly gave the conclusion. He believed that even he understood, two F1 drivers who could get a super driver's license would not be unaware of it.

Of course, Brendel can also understand the mentality of both sides. After Zhang Yifei has been overwhelmed by so many rounds, he definitely does not want to be surpassed. As for Schumacher's current status, it is also unbearable to be blocked by a Chinese boy for so many rounds.

The problem is that Zhang Yifei is still acceptable to play the game as a limit. After all, he is a newcomer and is young and frivolous.
