428 Full outbreak

The pit stop cooperation between Zhang Yifei and the team is no longer comparable to that of the original winter training, and the speed is almost not inferior to that of a first-class team like Ferrari.

After all, there are too many factors in the level of R&D technology, but the pit stop cooperation can be practiced, and Zhang Yifei's practice effort on the team track is far higher than that of ordinary rookie drivers.

The simulated pit stops again and again finally achieved the perfect coordination on the track now, and all the steps, including refueling, were completed quickly in ten seconds. However, just when Zhang Yifei was about to leave the station, an accident occurred again in the maintenance channel.

Toyota's Benoldi collided with the Jaguar team Bourti who was about to pit at the back, causing serious damage to the front suspension of the two cars, and there should be no way to continue the race, so the competitors on the track were again two less.

In the last Australian station, if Zhang Yifei is not mistaken, the completion rate seems to be in the early 60s. So far in this race, five drivers, including Alessi, have withdrawn from the race, and with the rain to come, the final finish rate could drop to half!

So every time he feels that Prost is not powerful, Zhang Yifei will think about the current F1 miserable completion rate, compared to other drivers who can't even finish the race, at least Prost Racing has not dropped the chain directly on the track, and is already above the passing line.

"Fly, remember, the most important thing in rain combat is not speed but control, you have to control that absolute balance that is on the verge of skidding."

Cosell's voice came from inside his headphones, and he rarely made such admonitions on the track. After all, according to Kossel's theory and character, all instructions and coping methods are done in the pre-game preparation process, and the rigorous German old man will not do temporary things.

"I know, you're going to see me perform."

Zhang Yifei replied confidently, he has been suppressing this game for too long, just waiting for the heavy rain in Kuala Lumpur to wash away his depression and grievances, and at the same time show his absolute rain battle strength!

"Very good, this is the confidence of the super newcomers to the F1 paddock!"

Prost praised the voice of the direct team, not afraid of the strength of the handicap, but afraid of the newcomer on the track, without the absolute confidence of the others.

In the face of rain battles, which are generally feared by newcomers, Zhang Yifei can still show this side, and now Prost has reason to believe that he has really picked up a treasure.

As long as Zhang Yifei has a good result in the Malaysian Grand Prix, then he is a super newcomer in this year's F1 season!

At the same time, the team's "lollipop man" took a look at the temporary unobstructed maintenance channel, and immediately seized the opportunity to turn the sign in his hand, prompting Zhang Yifei to leave the station.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Yifei had already hung up the gear and began to loosen the clutch, and with one foot of the accelerator, he drove the Prost car out of the maintenance space at the fastest speed. It's just that he hasn't advanced a few dozen meters before a car suddenly pops up, just like the "ghost probe" he usually encounters while driving, Zhang Yifei can only be forced to step on the brakes.

"Oh yes! Do you not look at the pit lane when the car leaves the pit stop? If Lao Tzu's reaction just now had been a little slower, he would have crashed into it directly! ”

Zhang Yifei scolded angrily in his heart, this kind of "ghost probe" is simply impossible to prevent, and it is still in a place like the maintenance channel, I never imagined that there would be a team of lollipop people who would be derelict and not pay attention to the cars coming from behind!

If it weren't for the slow speed of the maintenance channel, and Zhang Yifei's reaction speed was really amazing, otherwise there would have been another maintenance channel accident, and the Malaysian Grand Prix would have ended inexplicably on the maintenance channel.

However, when Zhang Yifei saw the paint and number of the car in front of him, he felt that this matter was not so simple, because the car in front of him was none other than Pannith of the British American team.

Indeed, just as Zhang Yifei suspected, Pannis's risk out of the pit was not the carelessness of some lollipop man, but on purpose!

Theoretically, in this weather state, all teams are implementing the tactics of full rain tires and heavy fuel loading, so the exit time should also be faster than Zhang Yifei.

But they didn't expect that the pit stop cooperation of a newcomer like Zhang Yifei would even surpass Penis in terms of efficiency and progress. Seeing that Zhang Yifei was about to use a shorter pit stop time to overtake Panis in the pit lane, this was unacceptable for the Anglo-American team.

Moreover, Zhang Yifei's rain battle performance in the practice race, many team management are looking at it, and they will not doubt Zhang Yifei's rain battle strength as the situation on the track changes, like ordinary spectators.

No matter how this Chinese newcomer trains, his rain battle strength is indeed amazing, if he is allowed to repair the passage to surpass, it will not be easy for Pannis to surpass it again.

So the Anglo-American team made this risky move, allowing Pannis to take a huge risk out of the station and seize the front of Zhang Yifei.

Wingman drivers are generally weak in attack, but defending is their forte. And Pannis has a wealth of experience in the event, as long as he can run in front of Zhang Yifei, there is a high probability that the Chinese newcomer will be stuck behind the car.

Compared to the gains, it is worth taking the risk, after all, the team's No. 1 driver Villeneuve is still behind, and suppressing Zhang Yifei's speed will help Villeneuve catch up and help the team's overall performance improve!

The tactical strategy of the British and American teams was successful, and although Zhang Yifei, a Chinese newcomer, was aggressive and arrogant, his driving skills were basically solid, especially the quick on-the-spot reaction and a foot brake to avoid a crash on the track.

At the same time, due to the rule that no overtaking is allowed in the maintenance lane, Zhang Yifei can only be forced to follow behind Pannis's car, so that after leaving the station, Pannis can continue to hold Zhang Yifei down, everything is so perfect.

It's just that sometimes, people are not as good as heaven, and the British American team did not underestimate Zhang Yifei, thinking that he is a very powerful rookie driver.

But they didn't expect that Zhang Yifei's strength in Yuzhan was far stronger than they imagined, and it was extremely aggressive.

After the maintenance channel came out, Zhang Yifei directly clinged to Pannis, without taking into account the hidden danger of insufficient grip that might be brought about by the rain tires that had just been put on the rain tires and the tire temperature had reached the normal working conditions.

And Zhang Yifei's speed is extremely fast, making people feel that as long as this kid changes lanes with a dozen steering wheels, the car will spin and lose control, and this speed is approaching the limit of tire grip!

Pannis felt the pressure of Zhang Yifei, and he didn't expect that the Chinese newcomer would pit and change tires, which would be almost the same as changing people. You must know that even if he surpassed him before, Zhang Yifei didn't make any tough moves, just just let it go after an ordinary block.

At the time, Pannis also wondered if there was a bias in the media coverage, and that this kind of Chinese driver did not look like the tough and aggressive in the report. Now Pannis understands that there is nothing wrong with media reports, Zhang Yifei is simply a madman!

This kind of approaching without a safe distance, as long as you step on the brakes a little harder, Zhang Yifei will inevitably chase the rear! It's not that the Chinese newcomers can't react, but even if Zhang Yifei reacts, now the speed of the two people has exceeded 200km/h, and they can't brake at all!

At the same time, in this situation, Pannis did not dare to change lanes at will, in case any steering wheel was bigger, the consequence was that his car was out of control, and he turned directly to overturn on the track.

He could only maintain his pace and try to grab the best line at Turn 8 in the pit lane. Pannis believes that no matter how aggressive Zhang Yifei is, he will not dare to overtake in corners, because in this road condition, the probability of forcibly overtaking and sliding out of the track is as high as more than 50%!

But Pannis still thought wrong, since he had already felt Zhang Yifei's madness, he already knew in his heart that the Chinese newcomer would not just give up.

At the No. 8 bend into the corner, Zhang Yifei leaned on the delayed braking point and overtook directly from the left side of Pannis, and then rode on the shoulder of the road without hesitation to complete the overtake.

The whole overtaking action was done in one go, and there was no fear of hesitation or rushing off the track. This kind of efficiency and speed, not only Pannis was shocked, but even the British and American team strategy team, who was still very confident before, looked at the broadcast screen in disbelief.

"Pannis was overtaken when he came out, couldn't he stop a lap?"

Anglo-American team manager David Richards was full of surprise, and he was still confident in Pannis's defence.

At the time of the pit stop, it was expected that the defensive pressure of the rain battle against Panis would at least be able to press Villeneuve to catch up from behind. At that time, the two Anglo-American team cars sandwiched Zhang Yifei and played the role of Pannis's wingman, allowing the stronger Villeneuve to attack the points and even the podium.

As a result, I didn't expect that I couldn't stop it for a lap, and I was overtaken when I came out of the station, so this special change of Senna is nothing more than that, right?

"Pannis is still too conservative and underestimates the madness of the Chinese newcomers. According to my observation during this time, even if the Chinese kid has a 50% success rate, he dares to give it a go, and Pannis should be more resolute. ”

Pannis's race engineer Leaver replied with a little regret, but this is the character of Pannis, if he were a tough and resolute driver, he would not be willing to be a wingman.

And Pannis is an older driver in the F1 paddock, and he doesn't have that kind of youthful hard work, which is much worse than Zhang Yifei.

Track commentator Blundell also exclaimed when he saw this scene: "GOOD! On the track just now, the Chinese driver Fei used his extremely fast speed, and just out of the first corner of the pit lane, he overtook the British and American driver Pannis, and the whole process was so fast that he almost didn't even catch up with the camera. ”

"This kind of speed and performance reminds me of flying in a practice match. Although there was a crash, it could not hide Fei's amazing performance at that time, and even had a lap time that was extremely close to Schumacher. ”

"Now Fly is chasing Ralph Schumacher further ahead, and it seems that I said that Fly would get into big trouble, but this time it's going to be the other way around. Flying this menacing posture, I'm afraid it's going to be Ralph's trouble! ”
