234 Astonishing
Seeing Dixon's move of wanting to grab the line, a sneer appeared on Zhang Yifei's face. Just as Dixon expected Zhang Yifei's operation steps before, Dixon's line-grabbing move this time was also expected by Zhang Yifei!
It was impossible to be forced to slow down and get Dixon stuck in front of him, Zhang Yifei hit the steering wheel to the right from the beginning, gave way to the overtaking line on the left, and was already ready to throw Dixon off at this corner.
Cowardice has never been Zhang Yifei's style, since the opponent wants to challenge it, then let Dixon see his strength!
Dixon followed his plan and changed lanes from the inside of the corner to the right, ready to block in front of Zhang Yifei and take the lead.
But at the same time as Dixon changed the line to the right, Zhang Yifei stepped down the throttle in the corner, and directly hit the general steering wheel to accelerate past Dixon, seizing the lead on the inside.
Zhang Yifei overtook Dixon, but his situation did not improve at all, because of the acceleration in the corner, his speed at the moment was too fast, and the car was already on the verge of losing control.
Dixon expected that Zhang Yifei would not be restrained, after all, how could an arrogant driver like him not make a move to resist, so changing the line became the only option.
It's just that Dixon never thought that Zhang Yifei actually kicked the accelerator in the corner in order to prevent being pressed by himself. You must know the consequence of doing this, that is, this foot on the accelerator and rushing out of the track, is the Chinese kid "rather die than give in"?
Soon Dixon realized that he was wrong, and after Zhang Yifei accelerated in the corner, he was followed by a sharp brake to reduce the speed and avoid rushing off the track.
But the slowdown caused by the sudden braking made Dixon once again have a slight lead, just when he was about to cut the line and use his speed to seize Zhang Yifei in front of him again.
Dixon was surprised to find that Zhang Yifei actually relied on that kick to turn sharply and accurately found the APEX point of his cornering route. Almost after the sudden braking, Zhang Yifei directly accelerated on the floor oil, taking advantage of the early acceleration to take a completely leading attitude out of the corner, leaving Dixon behind.
Zhang Yifei's series of operations can be described by the words "in one go". From accelerating to changing lanes, then decelerating through APEX points, and then accelerating out of corners at full throttle, all the timing is perfect!
As long as Zhang Yifei has a little panic and mistake just now, not to mention rushing out of the track directly, at least his entire cornering route will be a mess, and he may be left far behind now, it is himself!
That's impossible! Dixon couldn't believe his eyes, because Zhang Yifei's proficiency in this set of movements was simply the same as that he had practiced.
But Zhang Yifei is not God, how could he predict the occurrence of overtaking maneuvers and rehearse in advance. If this is an impromptu performance, then the strength of the Chinese driver flying is too terrifying, and the combination of this reaction and driving skills is enough to qualify for F1!
Dixon thinks that if he swaps positions, he can't do Zhang Yifei's smooth control, which is really accurate and terrifying!
If Zhang Yifei knew what Dixon was thinking at this moment, he would definitely reply like this: "You may not believe it when you say it, this set of controls just now, brother has indeed practiced!" ”
That's right, Zhang Yifei has practiced this kind of emergency cornering control just now, and more than once.
Of course, the reason why he practiced was definitely not to anticipate the battle for the corners in advance, but to the previous test run, Zhang Yifei challenged the extreme corners again and again, and many times had to rely on various sharp brakes to save the risk of rushing off the track. 、
The steel cable went a lot, and slowly Zhang Yifei really adapted to the overspeeding and loss of control in this kind of corner. And the rescue of rushing out of the track countless times also allowed Zhang Yifei to find the emergency braking points in each corner, as well as some special cornering routes.
It may be that these special cornering routes are not as fast as the regular perfect tangents. But when the two drivers were battling it out on the corners, neither of them could get through the corner with the perfect tangent!
So at this time, the classic explanation can still come in handy, Zhang Yifei doesn't need the fastest perfect cornering speed, he just needs to be able to grab the front, faster than Dixon's cornering.
These unexpected corner manipulations have become Zhang Yifei's killer feature!
"Wonderful! The way I flew just now was so unexpected! The second acceleration in the corner, finding a special APEX point, etc., not only regained their disadvantage, but also led the opponent by a large margin, leaving Dixon directly behind! ”
"This series of operations is unbelievable to be done by junior formula drivers, Dixon is very strong, but he has met a more powerful driver Fei!"
Red's anger was a little trembling because of his excitement, and he explained the junior formula racing for several years, such as Zhang Yifei's corner manipulation, which can be described as a handful.
The junior Formula drivers who can do this have basically entered the top F3000 teams, or even the F1 teams. As a rookie driver in Asia, Zhang Yifei can do this kind of operation, which is even more commendable!
"It's worthy of the public enemy of the track, it's really TM strong, who can stop this kind of strength Renault event?"
"Fly, come on, take pole position at the Manikul circuit!"
"Like to fight with Zhang Yifei? Dixon, you're not a competitor to the rider fly! ”
The supporters of Zhang Yifei in the audience were already boiling at the moment, they watched Zhang Yifei defeat all his opponents step by step, and now even Dixon, who was the only little threat, was left behind by him.
In the entire Renault European Cup, who else dares to fight with Zhang Yifei!
Inside the pit station, the previous solemn atmosphere relaxed suddenly, and Yamamoto Youkyo was also heavily relieved, he was really worried that Zhang Yifei would be surpassed by Dixon just now, which was a big psychological blow to Fei.
After all, it is easy to accept victory, but it is difficult to accept defeat, and now Zhang Yifei is in his own ascending period in the Renault event.
This rise not only refers to strength, but also a kind of champion temperament!
To put it simply, when I first participated in the Renault European Cup, I basically didn't dare to expect the championship, because I didn't have confidence and confidence in my heart.
The wild words thrown out on the track were more because of ridicule and contempt, so that Zhang Yifei had to be as tough as a fat man with a swollen face.
Now with the improvement of the results, that kind of confidence is slowly coming out, at least now Zhang Yifei is arrogantly saying that he wants to win the championship, and no one is surprised.
If Zhang Yifei suffers a defeat at this stage, the consequences will be far more than just a qualifying failure, and he will also lose a chance to become an official F1 driver.
This is a shocking blow for a rookie driver, even if Yamamoto Ukyo knows that Zhang Yifei's psychological quality is very strong, he doesn't dare to pack a ticket Zhang Yifei can carry it.
Now seeing Zhang Yifei leading, this worry can finally be put aside temporarily.
"Brother Zhi, it seems that the old man in Germany really has two brushes, isn't this way of cornering just now that Fei Ge almost lost control during the previous test run?"
Ah Hu was also very happy in his heart, so he muttered to Chen Zhi in a low voice. Before, he was a little dissatisfied with Koser, feeling that this competition engineer was unkind, and could even be described as "cold-blooded", and he didn't care about Feige's safety at all.
Looking at it now, the desperate actions that made Feige challenge the limit before still have some effect.
"Nonsense, someone else is a university professor and a member of the F1 team's strategy team, how can they not have two brushes?"
"It's really amazing, it looks like I'm going to support Feige in the future."
"That's right, the kind that runs to death."
Chen Zhi nodded in agreement, as the saying goes, if you put it to death, you will be reborn, how can you be reborn if you don't die?
Fortunately, Zhang Yifei on the track, I don't know Ah Hu and they are talking about these behind their backs, otherwise they would really be angry to death.
In the VIP seat, Ghosn had a victorious smile on his face, although Zhang Yifei was not a Renault driver, as long as he could beat Dixon, it would mean that the prediction between him and Williams was victorious.
"Sir Williams, it seems that Dixon is not as strong as you think."
"It's not over yet, and the fastest lap isn't necessarily about flying."
Williams replied with a smile that no one knew what would happen until the last minute of formula racing.
"I don't think there's any suspense in this game, and you can think about the rewards in advance. Sir Williams, are you still going to honour this test driver contract? ”
Ghosn looked at Williams with interest, wanting to see the regret and frustration on his face, after all, Williams is not a test driver contract for a giant team like Williams, which can not be given with a joke or two.
"As long as Fei can get pole position, I won't break my word."
Williams didn't have any regret on his face, Zhang Yifei's amazing operation on the track just now had been recognized by Williams.
Being able to make this kind of extreme cornering maneuvering, and also getting rid of Dixon, Zhang Yifei has proven his strength on the track.
Williams' ability to bring a private team to his current status as a Big Three in the F1 paddock means that he is a pragmatic owner. As long as Zhang Yifei can show the strength that satisfies him, the identity of the junior formula driver does not matter.
Hearing Sir Williams confirm again, Ghosn said to his physical assistant at this time: "Bring Fei over after the game." ”
The assistant heard Ghosn's order, nodded yes, and left the VIP seat, preparing to go to the pit where Zhang Yifei was.
Indeed, just as Ghosn thought, Dixon became a suspenseless match from the moment he threw it off. Even if Dixon followed up with a crazy chase, he even narrowed the distance with Zhang Yifei for a while.
But in the end, Zhang Yifei still left Dixon behind, leaving him to look at his taillights.
The 30-minute countdown on the track was over, and the fastest lap was on the big screen.
Zhang Yifei's name appeared at the top of the list, with a final lap time of 1:24.993, breaking the track record, creating the fastest lap at the Manikul Circuit, and undisputed the pole position of the race!
