"Schumacher made the pit stop as soon as possible."

"Jordan's Frenzen, who is currently in fourth place, also pitted."

"Montoya started on super soft tyres, and he also made a pit stop.

Because of Zhang Yifei's previous inquiry, the team pit stop kept passing the opponent's pit stop information to him at this time.

This information is not only to let Zhang Yifei understand the situation on the track, but also to give him strong confidence!

Who would have thought that a pure newcomer from the pits would be able to go straight to eighth place in a dozen laps?

In addition to relying on Schumacher Jr. to press the car and overtake his Montoya, Zhang Yifei overtook thirteen cars in a row on the track, and on average, Zhang Yifei surpassed an opponent every lap.

Without Montoya's overtaking, Zhang Yifei would have moved up one place to seventh on the track.

This kind of performance and efficiency, not to mention the newcomers, even the famous drivers, can be described by two words: excellent!

Even Henry, who kept reporting information about the track, trembled slightly in his tone with excitement. In the history of the Prost team, except for the first season with Toyota engines, a similar miracle was performed.

In the following years, because of the Peugeot engine and Prost's insistence on starting the French driver, the results sank year by year. Today's crazy transcendence of Zhang Yifei made Henry, an old man in the Ligier period, feel that the blood and passion have returned to him.

The Chinese newcomer has handed in a perfect answer, it depends on whether he can maintain this miracle to the end!

Almost everyone in the team pit stop is full of expectations in their hearts, even the always calm Kossel, he feels that this stop will become Zhang Yifei's showtime (performance moment).

So far, the pre-match strategy has been very smooth and successful, and the only luck factor in the tactics has been filled by Alesi with his own withdrawal.

It can be said that the unfavorable factors brought by starting from the maintenance area have been swept away, and the next thing is to see Zhang Yifei's play.

It's just that the "destiny" mentality in the pit station didn't last long before it was broken by the green flag on the track that said that the obstacles had been cleared and the race had returned to normal.

With the appearance of the green flag, the safety car also retreated into the exit channel, and the safety car, which was expected to be at least one lap long, only pressed for only 30 seconds, and the race returned to normal again.

The 30-second press time is not enough for Zhang Yifei, who is 45 seconds behind Schumacher in absolute terms.

Because the car slowed down at a relative speed rather than stopping on the track, the drivers were still moving forward. So you can't simply use 45 minus 30 to calculate, Zhang Yifei is actually far behind the time, much longer than 15 seconds.

According to the plan, the 45-second trail time required one or two laps to smooth out, and now the pressure time is less than a quarter. Zhang Yifei is still about 30 seconds behind Schumacher, the first car, and the gap with the third-place Coulthard is also more than 20 seconds.

What's more, it's the press time that makes the drivers who pit for tyre changes smile, perfectly offsetting the time they should have wasted in pitting!

The three-stop strategy developed by the strategy group naturally has the advantage of fast lap times, and the disadvantage is that it takes a lot of time to make pit stops, which may offset the speed lead brought by lap times.

If you weigh the balance between the advantages and disadvantages, this is what the team strategy group needs to consider, and it is also the place to show the level of a team strategy group.

Now they don't have the time disadvantage of pit stop tire change, which is very unfavorable news for Zhang Yifei, which is equivalent to the opportunity created by Alessi to make a wedding dress for others!

You must know that Zhang Yifei chooses the one-stop hard tire tactic, and the biggest advantage is that he makes one or two fewer pit stops than other drivers, and he can use the saved pit stop time to recover the disadvantage in starting and speed.

As a result, this advantage is now offset by the time of the press, resulting in a loss in addition to a few leading cars, the original biggest beneficiary Zhang Yifei actually did not make anything.

If you count the contribution of Alessi's retirement, after all, he may also hit the points zone, then the Prost team is simply a loss!

"Is it necessary for this group of people to push the accident car into the buffer zone and turn on the green flag?"

Henry, who originally felt that the future was bright, saw the green flag lit up on the track, and instantly felt like heaven had fallen into hell!

You must know that this safety car dispatch is based on the situation that the Prost team "sacrificed" a driver. Originally, I thought that it was to completely erase Zhang Yifei's backward gap, but I didn't expect that after the event staff pushed the accident car to the lawn of the buffer zone, the green flag of the resumption of the race was directly lit up.

With Henry's more than ten years of experience as a team leader in the F1 paddock, he naturally understands what this means, which is equivalent to the Prost team, making a wedding dress for those three-parking teams, so he will complain and be unwilling!

"The Heidenfeld rear-end collision knocked Alesi directly off the track, without leaving enough parts and fragments on the track, and there was a lack of cleaning up the track debris during the wrecker clearance process, so it was a miscalculation for us to be able to quickly lift the safety car pressure array."

Prost replied in a heavy tone, and Alessi's last sideways stop was to trigger the safety car to be dispatched. But the crash took place at the edge of the track, and both cars crashed into the gravel buffer, which didn't actually have much of an impact on track safety.

Alessi actually thought of this, which is why he forced the car back to the track and stopped.

It can only be said that Alessi has tried his best to create conditions, but the process of the event cannot completely follow the script of the Prost team, so this kind of accident will occur.

At this point, no matter how much you complain or be unwilling, it is useless. This is competitive sports, and no one knows what the ending will be until the moment it ends.

Zhang Yifei on the track naturally saw the green flag waving in the hands of the staff. To be honest, it was also a surprise that the track safety car restrictions were lifted so quickly.

However, compared with the unwillingness of the team members, the party Zhang Yifei accepted this result more calmly. After all, he was a professional driver in his last life, and he has experienced too many dramatic changes on the track, and he has long been accustomed to it.

Drivers who had previously taken advantage of the pit stop time also rushed out of the pit lane after the exit restrictions were lifted, trying to maintain their lead.

However, the standings on the track still changed, and Schumacher, who was previously in first place, fell to third place. He was behind Barrichello and Coulthard because of his pit stops.

However, this deficit was only temporary, as neither Barrichello nor Coulthard made a pit stop, and Schumacher was able to take advantage of the two of them to take the lead again as the first car.

After the fourth-ranked Frenzen came out, the ranking did not change, because the top four drivers were equivalent to the first echelon, and there was a huge gap with the fifth-ranked Trulli, even if it was 20 seconds of pit stops, Trulli could not complete the overtake of Frenzen.

Although Trulli is still ranked fifth, the gap between him and Franczen has basically returned to the same echelon from the previous cliff-like gap.

The sixth place is Montoya of the Williams team, if Zhang Yifei's performance today can be described as excellent, then today's performance of Montoya can only be described in two words.

Montoya, who was originally sixth in qualifying, started from the pit lane with Zhang Yifei because of a starting failure on the warm-up lap, and he was still ranked behind Zhang Yifei in the order, which was equivalent to the penultimate start.

But in addition to being pressed by Zhang Yifei for a few laps at the beginning, Montoya's performance behind was simply hanging, he overtook wildly all the way, and stubbornly went from the first to the sixth in the first place, and returned to the starting position of his qualifying race.

This kind of open-minded result has made Montoya the absolute protagonist of the Sepang circuit today, and even overshadowed Schumacher on pole position.

And even the god-level performance of the super 15 cars also beat Zhang Yifei of the super 13 cars, and was known as the most dazzling newcomer on today's track.

Montoya led Zhang Yifei by relying on god-level performance, but in fact, he did not open a big gap with Zhang Yifei, and the time gap between the two sides was only about 2 seconds. So when he came in and out, he went straight from the sixth place to the top ten.

But this kind of backwardness, because the safety car has been overwhelmed, all the cars are not far behind. Montoya was able to surpass fifteen cars in a row before, and now he has absolute confidence to easily return to the position that should belong to him, which is nothing more than to let the audience feel his strength again!

Montoya fell behind, and Zhang Yifei, who was originally ranked eighth, rose one place again to the seventh position. It's just that this seventh position is quite unstable, and the riders behind are all eyeing it.

Especially after the pit stop, the riders with light fuel and new ultra-soft tires will have a clear advantage in speed, and whether Zhang Yifei can keep his ranking will be the key point of this race!

Sure enough, when the safety car was withdrawn, it was the drivers who started to attack first, and Schumacher began to press frantically towards Coulthard, who wanted to regain his position in the lead car.

Montoya and others in the back attacked Zhang Yifei again, they have an absolute advantage in racing performance and are in a strong period. And among these drivers, there is also a familiar figure, that is, Schumacher Jr., who used the time of the safety car to kill again!

Zhang Yifei's situation on the track began to take a sharp turn, and although the qualifying was about to enter the points area, it was actually full of dangers. Even Blundell, the track commentator, saw the dangerous situation Zhang Yifei was facing!

"OH MY GOD, ARE THESE RIDERS CRAZY AFTER THE SAFETY CAR IS EVACUATED? We could clearly feel that almost all the drivers were on the attack. ”

"Especially the Chinese driver Fei who caught up, and he has Montoya, Ralph and even the Anglo-American team Panis eyeing him. Maybe his crazy overtaking made many drivers feel unconvinced, and they want to overtake it again. ”

Not only that, but Alonso, who was in front of him, also seemed to have hard tires that needed to be pressed to protect the tires, which would also suppress the speed of flying to a certain extent. In this kind of situation, the newcomer who shines in his debut can stand the test? ”
