520 Must be resolved (Chapter 3)

The emotions that should be mobilized, by the time the drivers waited in the waiting area, the reporters had already added fuel to the fire.

So instead of continuing to excite supporters on the spot, the parade didn't even interview a few of the main "involved" riders, but pushed the non-fighting drivers of Coulthard, Ralph Schumacher and Verstappen into the interview area.

After the simple float parade, Zhang Yifei returned to the pit station, and the crew had finished overhauling the car and was waiting for the race.

It may be Zhang Yifei's confident attitude that has also infected the crew, this time the whole team has an indescribable fighting spirit, just for the goal of the championship!

Korsell came over at this time, and he had to hurry up and discuss the final tactical strategy with Zhang Yifei.

"Fly, the state of the road surface on the A1 track, I'm sure you know it very well. This time, the road was soft and smooth, and the tyres didn't wear out severely, so I decided to go with a stop-and-go strategy. ”

"One-stop tactics?"

When he heard this team strategy, Zhang Yifei was still a little surprised, he thought that Korsell would eventually decide on the two-stop tactic.

The A1 track in Austria is very good, and there is much less wear and tear on the tyres than the rough and unmaintained tracks.

If you simply run laps, as long as you have good tire protection skills and then press the rear car, two sets of tires can support the whole 71-lap race.

But the problem is that the race is not just about running laps, the A1 track is characterized by frequent sudden braking and deceleration, and the tire wear caused by each sudden braking is far greater than the wear and tear of normal laps.

Especially if there is a mistake in force control, and the brake is slightly heavier, it may not be a sudden brake, but a direct brake to death, and the consequence is that the tire is directly locked.

In fact, the situation of tire locking can often be seen in life, that is, some corners on the road that need to slow down, or some accident-prone road sections, you can often see two black brake marks on the ground.

This is caused by the sudden braking and the brake caliper locking the tire and no longer turning against the road surface.

The tire life of ordinary civilian vehicles is at least tens of thousands of kilometers, and the problem caused by friction is not big. However, the life of F1 tires ranges from tens of kilometers to one or two hundred kilometers, and the difference in life is too big.

Especially in extreme cases, you may not even be able to bear the wear of a foot brake, and you can directly step on a puncture. Therefore, for the risk of the one-stop tactic, Zhang Yifei feels that it is a bit big, and the second-stop is more secure.

Listening to Zhang Yifei's surprised tone, Korsell naturally understood what he was thinking.

"Are you not confident in your handling skills?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that I feel ......"

"I don't think anything, just do a stop-and-go tactic. As long as you don't make serious missteps, there will be no problems. ”

Korsell didn't give Zhang Yifei any room for bargaining, and the one-stop tactic could save at least 15 seconds of stopping time if the maintenance lane deceleration time was included.

That's definitely a very impressive number for the lagging Prost car.

Of course, the negative is that the driver's handling difficulty will increase again, not only to protect the tires and press the car, but also to ensure that the force of the brakes can not be made any mistakes. Otherwise, if you have a puncture, even if you don't quit the race, the time wasted may be counted in minutes, unless it happens to be a puncture at the entrance of the pit lane.

But these Cosell don't care, the championship itself does not allow any mistakes, unless Zhang Yifei does not have the confidence to win the championship!

Zhang Yifei also knows Cosell's character, and the tactical strategy he decides is that there is no room for bargaining, which is actually the same as the Ferrari strategy team.

However, the two sides have different starting points, and the Ferrari team's strategy team is to put the interests of the team first, and if there is a conflict of interest, the interests of the drivers must be sacrificed to protect the interests of the team.

And Korcel is completely from Zhang Yifei's point of view, only pursuing faster speed and better results.

Of course, the flaw is also obvious, that is, how to run faster, then Kossel doesn't care. In his words, the driver who drives F1 on the track is not me, this is Zhang Yifei's problem, and Zhang Yifei must solve it!

"I see."

The final result was naturally Zhang Yifei's compromise, and he could only muttered in his heart, the old man in Germany is really stubborn!

At 14:55 p.m., Zhang Yifei drove the JS53 car from the pit to the parking space of the track.

As the blue Prost car pulled out of the pits, there were some cheers. Zhang Yifei's supporters were thrilled that this was the first time he had taken pole position and had qualified for the front row of the grid.

However, this kind of voice is not very loud, because even if many European overseas Chinese and international students rush to Austria overnight, it is too late. Although the track volume of 50,000 people is not large, it is still a bit difficult to rely on the voices of thousands of people to resound on the track.

After all, today is the home of Williams and BMW, they didn't taunt and boo, Zhang Yifei is of high quality, and he wants to cheer for Zhang Yifei, but he has not yet reached this level.

Or in other words, the F1 paddock still wants to have a large number of fans in the away game, which is basically a world champion-level driver, such as the current Schumacher, the future Alonso, Kimi, and Hamilton and so on.

But these did not affect Zhang Yifei's excitement at the moment, because this was the first time he stood on the pole position to start, and he no longer had to eat the exhaust of the driver in front of him.

Another more important point is that Zhang Yifei's right rear is Ferrari's No. 1 car, and the driver above is Schumacher!

The ability to beat Schumacher can be said to be one of the dreams of future generations of drivers, after all, he represents the heyday of F1, representing an almost unsurpassable peak.

After Zhang Yifei entered the F1 paddock, his biggest dream was to fight Schumacher and then defeat the unattainable car god!

This dream was once within reach in the Brazilian Grand Prix, but in the end it fell short, and now he can finally stand higher than Schumacher, which is an inspiration and excitement for Zhang Yifei.

"The excitement of the race is about to begin, and today is even more special than the previous races, or the scene on the track is something that has never been seen before in the 50-year history of Formula 1, with a driver from China coming to a stop on the pole position of the lead car."

"If you can, I hope that the crowd will not be stingy with your applause and cheers, and congratulate the driver who made F1 history, he is a ~~~~~ from China!"

Brendall played a long end note, making Zhang Yifei's name more solemn and passionate.

Because this Chinese kid has once again made F1 history, he deserves the cheers and applause of the audience, not the cold reaction now!

With Blundel's agitation, the audience's response was noticeably more enthusiastic than it had been at the beginning. Many BMW home fans applauded politely to congratulate Zhang Yifei, in any case, today can be regarded as a historic scene in F1, and the Chinese driver appeared in the position of the first car.

Of course, those supporters of Zhang Yifei are even more excited at the moment, they keep waving their arms and shouting from the bottom of their hearts.

"That's right, Zhang Yifei has made F1 history!"

"China's strongest driver, after all, one day, I believe you can become the strongest driver in the world!"

"Zhang Yifei, run forward as fast as you can, and face those cold eyes and ridicule!"

"No difficulty can make you kneel and beg for mercy, you will always be the most arrogant and unruly Chinese driver, representing our blood!"

Zhang Yifei couldn't hear these voices cheering for himself, but he could feel the enthusiasm of his compatriots and supporters, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

However, Zhang Yifei's attention quickly moved away from the stands and locked on the indicator light above the track.

The pole position is always just the beginning, and only the winner of the race represents the final victory. Zhang Yifei used to be only one step away, and this time, he didn't want to fall on the last step again!

The five indicator lights were lit up at one time, and Zhang Yifei started at the moment of extinguishing to warm up the tires. As the first car, he can walk the line freely, without worrying about overtaking, rear-end collision and any other problems.

Of course, Zhang Yifei didn't do anything to make a fuss, but honestly drew the left and right lines, and continued to accelerate and decelerate, so that the tires and oil could reach the working condition at the fastest speed, because this will determine the next start, Zhang Yifei didn't want to start overtaking, this kind of thing happened to him.

After all, it was not easy to get the pole position this time, and if you were overtaken by someone before you were the first to get the first car, it would be a big loss!

The warm-up lap was over and all the cars were parked in their previous parking spaces in turn, waiting for the official starting lights.

Zhang Yifei locked his eyes on the starting indicator, and more people locked their eyes on him. Although Zhang Yifei got the pole position this time, he did not have enough background to prove his invincible strength.

Many drivers, even some in the middle and back rows, think they have what it takes to beat Zhang Yifei. This is the same as the idea that after China exposed what new equipment was exposed, some countries with cats and dogs thought that since China could do it, then I could do it too.

Relying on that sense of superiority to build confidence, rather than seriously reviewing Zhang Yifei's race footage to analyze the true strength of the Chinese driver.

So behind Zhang Yifei, who is now the head car, there are countless pairs of tiger-eyed eyes.

The five indicators lit up again, Zhang Yifei began to loosen the clutch, slowly moved his left foot away from the brake, and his right foot was ready to click the accelerator. He'll start the fastest way and don't give the car behind him a chance!
