"Mentor, did you predict Massa's cornering route?"

Ukyo Yamamoto saw Massa's corner scene through the broadcast screen, and his face was full of surprise at this time.

He didn't expect that Massa could come up with such a "shortcut" cornering route, which can be said to be a "killer feature".

All the previous incomprehension of Kossel's tactics has turned into a kind of admiration and worship at this moment, and sure enough, the mentor is still the mentor, he is much better than himself!

"Sort of, because this detour is not a secret. There have been times when riders have chosen to catch up in this extreme way when they are behind. ”

"It's just that the success rate of this curved route is very low, and it is not a desperate fight at a critical moment, so I basically will not choose this way."

"And if you are mentally prepared, it is very simple to break this way of overtaking, take advantage of the speed of the outside corner, change lanes to the right in advance to grab the line, so that you can force the opponent to slow down and give way, and press him behind the car again."

Cosell replied in a calm tone, not as surprised as Yamamoto Ukyo. Because these are some of the old tactics at Hockenheimring. It's just that an Asian newcomer like Ukyo Yamamoto doesn't know much about the history of European circuits to be unaware of these cornering routes.

It can be said that as McLaren's home track, every line of Hockenheim's car is deeply engraved in Korcel's memory, and no one can play tricks in front of him.

Hearing Coser's answer, Yamamoto Youkyo admired it even more in his heart, this is a professional game engineer, predicting any possible offensive moves of the opponent, and taking precautions in advance.

"Mentor, is that Feijun's bending route also the way you have prepared to deal with it a long time ago?"

"No, whether Massa chooses this corner route or not, I'll let the fly press on the shoulder of the road and go through the corner at 80km/h."

"Huh?"

Yamamoto Youkyo was even more surprised at this time, he thought that Zhang Yifei's way of turning was the mentor's last move to deal with Massa's "killer move", but he didn't expect it to be the case at all.

"Don't be amazed, the most important challenge for a driver is actually himself."

Korsell replied lightly, "Opponents are always changing, and you can't make adjustments to every opponent.

Hockenheim's track route, Kossel was able to do it by heart, and all the opponent's tricks were transparent in front of him. But on a different track, Kossel was just an ordinary race engineer, and he couldn't have been as familiar as Hockenheim was on the track.

To use an old Chinese saying, the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable! The same is true for racing. What can really be improved is your own cornering speed, so that the opponent has no way to keep up, so that you will naturally defeat everyone.

On the track, after experiencing this overtaking failure, Massa's sharp spirit was obviously hit hard, and without the previous clenching posture, the gap between the two began to slowly widen.

"The battle for the Saches hairpin just now was really exciting, and if the drivers weren't driving a Renault car, I feel like it's a Formula 1 game!"

"Both riders showed their toughness and played two unconventional corners. In particular, Massa's move to overtake the shoulder of the road and drive the asphalt buffer zone was even more unexpected. ”

"It's just a pity that the cornering speed just now reached an astonishing 80km/h. Not to mention the current wet track conditions, even on dry roads, few drivers have crossed the Saches hairpin corners at this speed. ”

"It's really not that Massa is not good enough and outstanding, but that the flying skills are too strong, and they are so strong that they are beyond everyone's expectations!"

Red explained in an emotional tone, he can be said to have watched Zhang Yifei grow step by step, from the fourth place in the qualifying round at the beginning to the runner-up position in Monza.

Then Hockenheim's pole position and fastest lap, and now he is leading the race, so it can be said that he has shown the strength of a top Formula driver, and it is completely impossible to continue to look at it from the eyes of a Chinese newcomer.

"It's true that this Chinese guy is a bit strong, how the hell did he do it?"

"FUCK, why is the European circuit ruled by a Chinese, isn't Massa the strongest driver in this class, his strength?"

"I admit that I underestimated this Chinese kid before, and he is really good at flying."

The audience heard Red's explanation, and many people expressed the same meaning as him, and indeed since Zhang Yifei entered the Renault formula, the vast majority of people are not optimistic about such a Chinese newcomer.

The remaining very small part is more in the emotional factors of the Chinese people, rather than the recognition of strength.

But now it's different, Zhang Yifei's performance has steadily improved after two stops. What's more, he is now in a head-to-head confrontation with Massa, and he is not weaker at all.

You must know that Massa is known as the strongest driver in this class, and many people think that Renault is a candidate for the European Championship championship. It is even rumored that there are already F1 teams paying attention to Massa, and he will most likely replicate Kimi's miracle of entering F1.

As a result, such a strong driver, who was still at a disadvantage in the head-to-head battle with the Chinese boy, began to gradually widen the distance, which was really surprising.

"I took the lead on the first lap, but it wasn't very big. Although Massa was pulled away by some distance, the gap between the two sides was only a few tenths of a second, and any mistake could be chased back by Massa. ”

"There was also a bright driver in the race, and he was Dixon from the UK. Dixon, who was fourth in qualifying, launched a fierce attack on Kubika in third at this time, and the two sides even drove side by side at one point. ”

"I have to say that Kubica, as the official test driver of Renault, is still very experienced in terms of experience, and he successfully pressed the rear car to slow down after grabbing the line several times, so he was not overtaken. But it's only the first lap, can he continue to press Dixon later?"

The competition for Hockenheim was much more fierce than the previous Monza race, not only the battle between Zhang Yifei and Massa, but also the drivers behind in the first lap, many of them also entered a white-hot state.

Previously, Monza was equivalent to a person in the "Mars group" (referring to throwing away the opponent), and a group of riders in the "Earth group" behind you chased me.

But now, even Zhang Yifei, who is ranked first, is not a second away from Suarez, who is fifth, and everyone is in the "earth group". It can be regarded as one of the tightest races in the Renault series in recent years.

As the minutes ticked by, the lap times continued to increase, and soon there were less than ten minutes left, and the number of laps was only six in the end.

At this time, the ranking on the track has changed a lot again. Because Massa was hit by Zhang Yifei, the sharp anger at the beginning of the game was discharged.

In addition to the previous qualifying accident, Massa was hit on the shoulder when the car rolled, and it was not affected under normal circumstances. But the formula car also did not have the help of the steering wheel, and the weight of about 20 kilograms for a long time made Massa's shoulders a little overwhelmed.

So Massa made several mistakes, and was chased by Kubica and Dixon one after another, and dropped directly to fourth. And looking at this trend, the impact of Massa's shoulder injury may become more and more serious, and there is a possibility that it will continue to decline.

Kobeka came behind Zhang Yifei and grabbed the second position, the time difference was slightly widened, but it was not an exaggeration, only a little more than a second.

It can be said that so far in the race, Kubica's line routing accuracy is not weaker than Zhang Yifei's, showing the strength of a future F1 driver.

To be honest, since Monza surpassed Kubica, Zhang Yifei did not regard Kubica as his main opponent, and felt that his strength was no more than that.

But now, Kubica is finally starting to explode, and he is also the reigning champion of Italy's Formula Renault and the current official test driver. It's okay to be one stop behind, he can't lose forever!

However, the most surprising thing for the audience was that Dixon, who didn't know much before, actually bit Kubica tightly and surpassed Massa to third.

To be honest, the rider was not impressive, finishing 10th in the race at Monza. You must know that in this era, the Renault formula is based on the F1 integral method, and only the top six will have points credited.

That is to say, Dixon Monza did not get points, and the tenth place was also mediocre. I didn't expect that the fourth place in the Hockenheim qualifying round would be counted, and the points race could still come to the third position, once surpassing Kubica.

Cosell, who was in the pit pit, had never spoken to Zhang Yifei since the first corner gave the order.

Because Massa was exhausted, he was no longer a threat to Zhang Yifei, and the drivers behind him did not catch up, so he had nothing to say.

But now the situation is different, Zhang Yifei did not continue to widen the gap with Kobeca in the next twenty minutes, which made Kossel very dissatisfied. It's not that Kubika is too strong, it's that Zhang Yifei is lax!

On the track, before winning the championship, any slack will not be forgiven.

Because what is more terrible than fearing an opponent is to despise it!

"Fly, are you a girl driving on the track, or are you scared to pee your pants by the water on the track, and at this speed you deserve to enter F1?"

"Now with five laps left, I don't care who is second, you have to open up a three-second gap for me before the end of the race. If we can't do it, even if we win the championship, we will have to reconsider our bet before, because I don't want to coach a Chinese rookie who is struggling with it! ”

Cosell's roaring voice appeared in Zhang Yifei's headset, and his tone was full of gunpowder.

Hearing Cosell's words, Zhang Yifei felt a little aggrieved, he was the first runner or a rookie, so what is the driver behind?

However, Zhang Yifei admitted that after he did get rid of Massa, he began to relax a little.

It's not that he takes his opponent lightly, but when he has an advantage, he is much more conservative in cornering or something. After all, if you blindly take risks, no one dares to say that you will definitely be favored by Lady Luck.

As a result, I didn't expect Korsell to be so dissatisfied, and even bargained with the previous gambling contract, and said that he was like a girl and peed his pants!

Zhang Yifei felt unbearable at this point, so Zhang Yifei pressed the call button on the steering wheel head-on.

"Three seconds? Who to look down on? Kossel, I'm going to be four seconds ahead of second place before the race is over, and I'll give you the extra second! ”
