When Massa saw Zhang Yifei's move to change lanes, it can be said that his face instantly became gloomy. This Chinese kid, didn't he take himself seriously?

The start of the Hockenheimring circuit is normally a full-throttle sprint, and with the exact same dynamics, any lane change is pointless, or even slowing down.

Zhang Yifei's move is undoubtedly a declaration of war on himself, Massa is not an arrogant driver, but at this time he is also full of anger.

Zhang Yifei in front felt the furious roar of the engine behind him, even if he couldn't see Massa's expression at the moment, he knew that the other party must be very angry.

That's right, he just declared war on Massa, and if there was no opponent on the track who played with him, wouldn't it be very lonely

Challenge the strong in order to make yourself stronger, Zhang Yifei really wants to know how strong the Massa who broke out with all his might, this future F1 driver, in the formula stage!

2nd and 3rd gear、...... Six gears! The gears are constantly climbing, and so are the speeds.

All the riders took the 15-throttle long straight and pulled themselves to 260 km/h.

If he didn't have the consciousness and courage to put the accelerator pedal into the engine at this time, then he would not be suitable to be a formula driver, let alone appear in today's race!

Compared with the battle between Zhang Yifei and Massa without gunpowder, the riders behind can be said to be bayonets.

After all, the density of 20 cars is much more fierce in the scramble for positions, especially the right side of the current track, which is the focus of the scramble.

Because the first corner of the Hockenheimring circuit is a left turn, the order of the turning tangent is right-left-right, and being able to seize the right side of the route is equivalent to seizing the fastest cornering route.

In fact, Zhang Yifei started with one foot of the accelerator in front of Massa on the right, and also had the idea of wanting to seize the fastest cornering route on the right. It's just that the timing of his attack was too early, which made the provocation more and more obvious.

Fifteen seconds is not fast, slow is not slow, but for the track, fifteen seconds is just a moment.

Soon Zhang Yifei came to the No. 1 left turn, which was a high-angle high-speed turn. In the previous test run, Zhang Yifei took an empty throttle and cornered at a speed of 180km/h in fourth gear.

But this time, Zhang Yifei delayed his braking point, and in the past ten days, he has watched countless driver videos and track data, and knows a more extreme cornering route, which can cut the line at a speed of 200km/h.

Don't underestimate the 20km/h speed difference, maybe the opponent is just a little faster, from the corner to the line in front of you, so as to complete the corner overtaking.

As Zhang Yifei expected, Massa also chose to delay the throttle, intending to overtake Zhang Yifei at this corner.

It's just that he soon discovered that Zhang Yifei's speed did not slow down like other drivers, and the cornering route was exactly the same as the best route he had studied.

It can be said that Zhang Yifei's corner is impeccable, even if he asks the F1 driver to drive the Renault car, there is a high probability that he will not be able to surpass the car!

How can it be

This time it was Massa's turn to be full of shock in his heart, you must know that the timing of this cornering route and the release of the throttle is his own team strategy group, and this time of time helped him through computer simulation, which is the best cornering route in theory.

Zhang Yifei is just a personal paid driver, and Toyota only provides technical support, just like Renault's paid technical support, he can turn corners so perfectly to achieve the effect of having a team behind him

Massa does not despise Zhang Yifei's strength, but he also does not look down on Zhang Yifei, let alone think that Zhang Yifei's strength is so strong!

In fact, it is normal for Massa not to understand, in the eyes of the outside world, Zhang Yifei is just a rookie driver, or is he from a weak racing country like China. There is no strong European team behind it, and a lot of data and track experience are shortcomings.

But they didn't know that behind Zhang Yifei stood a giant, and this giant had the data of the top F1 team McLaren.

This is to blame that Caser is not as well-known as Newey, and he has been away from the McLaren team for almost ten years, and many people don't know that this old German man still has such a great background.

There is another important reason, that is, Zhang Yifei is willing to endure hardships, he stubbornly memorized the data of the Hockenheim circuit in his mind, and his experience is actually not inferior to these European drivers!

Zhang Yifei and Massa turned one after another, and Kubica and Dixon in the back were also in hot pursuit.

Especially Dixon, his cornering route was perfect, almost the same as Zhang Yifei, and he almost overtook Kubica on the corner.

If it weren't for Kubica's experience, he changed lines and blocked the road at critical moments, so that Dixon was forced to give up the idea of overtaking, and the order ranking might have to be changed directly.

The top drivers passed smoothly, and the less powerful drivers in the back did not have such precise handling ability in the face of fierce competition for the first corner.

Many drivers are faced with this high risk of crashing, and any corner route becomes a cloud, as long as they can drive through. But even so, there were still two riders who rushed off the track at the first corner, leaving only 18 riders in the field.

At this rate, it seems that the completion rate of this game may be even lower than predicted before the game.

After the corner, the fuel was refueled and upgraded, Zhang Yifei and Massa rushed into the boulevard, because of the tire warming circle, the current boulevard is obviously more waterlogged.

But neither Zhang Yifei nor Massa took these stagnant waters into account, and still stepped on the accelerator frantically and ran out of their fastest speed.

Just like the choice of tyres before a race, ambitious formula drivers never put safety first, and the desire to win and win is their only pursuit on the track.

Zhang Yifei is the same, he would rather be crushed than slow down!

The furious sound of the engine amplified the boulevard almost like a tunnel, and the leaves were shaken by the sound waves, and water droplets began to fall.

If the warm-up lap was a light rain before, now it is equivalent to the effect of moderate rain, and even a thin film of water has appeared on the ground, and high-speed cars are speeding by, rolling up patches of water mist.

Especially after some "puddles" with stagnant water, Zhang Yifei began to clearly feel that the grip of a certain tire dropped instantly, and the whole vehicle shook instantly.

But Zhang Yifei tightly controlled the steering wheel, otherwise the Renault car showed signs of skidding. Once you slip at this time, even if you don't lose control in the end, you will be caught up by Massa from behind.

Zhang Yifei has never underestimated Massa, just like an old domestic saying, strategically you can despise the enemy, but tactically you must pay attention to the opponent.

Next two corners, Zhang Yifei and Massa were still cornering at high speed, chasing and biting very tightly in the process. It may be that Zhang Yifei's speed and strength have stimulated Massa's potential, and he is even faster than the previous qualifying race!

"After entering the boulevard, the water on the ground began to gradually become serious, especially the vibrations caused by the air fluctuations and sounds, and the raindrops on the leaves that had not yet evaporated fell on the track, like a light rain."

"Most of the riders today were on normal wet tyres, and it was clear that they didn't want to give up on speed and limits. However, the problem is the drainage capacity of the wet tires, which is insufficient in the face of such a track environment. This time in Hockenheim, there has already been an accident with Madur, and I hope not to see a second tragedy happen. ”

Unlike Massa's minor injuries, the series of crashes in qualifying Madu were much more serious.

The left shoulder was fractured, four ribs were broken, and the most serious was the dislocation of the cervical spine under high-speed impact.

If the surgery goes well, Madu can still be a rider in the future, and if the cervical spine misalignment hurts the nerves in the spine, he may have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Racing has always been a high-risk sport, and standing on the track is destined to face these dangers.

Red's worries are nothing to mention for the drivers on the track right now, and no one is going to slow them down.

After all, the competition has just begun, and there is no situation where it is impossible to catch up at the end of the game, there is only one champion, and everyone wants to stand in that position.

Zhang Yifei and Massa are even more so, it can be said that as long as they have the opportunity, both of them are accelerating at full throttle.

The risks of skidding out of control are no longer in the consideration of these two people, and defeating their opponents is their first goal.

At the end of the boulevard is the famous Sachs hairpin bend, which has a very small angle and even a 180-degree turning back and is one of the most challenging locations on the Hockenheimring circuit.

Especially in this kind of road waterlogged situation, turning 180 degrees at high speed, the convention brought by the speed of the car is a challenge to the tire grip, and it is also an excellent place to overtake.

"Mentor, the hairpin bend of Saches is coming, I don't know if Yifeijun can defend it."

"Whether he can hold it or not depends on whether he is faster than his opponent."

Korsell replied coldly, then pressed the red call button on the top of the headset.

"Fly, the front is the Saches hairpin bend, and the rear car Massa chases very tightly, and there is a high probability that he will enter the bend inside to grab the line."

"Lower the braking force, keep the cornering speed at 80km/h in 1st gear, and ride on the left shoulder to extend the cornering arc angle."

"Let Massa understand that your tangent is harder than him, faster than him, and don't give him any hope that he can defeat you!"

This was the first time Korcel had passed a command on the track, and it could be described as "ferocious".

You must know that under normal circumstances, the limit speed of the Saches hairpin bend is about 70km/h in 1st gear.

There is still a risk of water on the track and a loss of tire grip, but Kossell is asking for a speed of 80 km/h to corner, which is completely trying to push the limit!
