407 Under the Shadow (Chapter 1)

After the news that Zhang Yifei would return to the track to participate in the main race was released, it caused heated discussion, and many Malay audiences expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing that this was the cover of Zhang Yifei by the FIA ​​and the 1st Council.

However, the responsibility for the track accident has been determined. As long as Zhang Yifei's physical permission is allowed, whether to participate in the Malaysian Grand Prix will be decided by himself. The FIA ​​and the 1st Council have no right to interfere.

The only thing that made the Malay audience who opposed Zhang Yifei feel relieved was that Zhang Yifei's racing car could not be repaired, and he could only use a spare racing car to start from the pit area. This is almost the destined ranking, which made many people feel a lot more comfortable.

Not to mention anything else, at least this "bad" Chinese driver, don't expect to get any point in the Malaysian Grand Prix!

At the same time, the news that Zhang Yifei decided to continue participating in the competition also attracted the attention of other teams. Many people did not expect that Zhang Yifei was still unwilling to miss the Malaysian Grand Prix due to such a serious impact accident.

Although according to the subsequent report, Zhang Yifei's injury was not serious, just a sprain in his ankle. But you should know that Zhang Yifei is a pure newcomer. After encountering such a severe impact in the practice competition, can he completely calm down some psychological "trauma" in two days?

If Zhang Yifei can be unaffected at all, then the psychological quality of this Chinese boy is far stronger than others imagined.

You should know that the strength of many drivers is not the same as the performance of the track. Generally speaking, if you can stably exert ten percent of your strength on the track, you can be considered excellent.

After all, once you go to the track, you will be affected by various aspects, such as the weather, track atmosphere, media reports, your own emotions, etc.

If there are no such objective factors and purely duel according to hard power, Schumacher, who is now at his peak, should theoretically win all sub-station championships and not give other drivers any chance.

But in fact, this situation is impossible. Both Schumacher and Senna have their own ups and downs. Strong psychological qualities will determine how much a driver can play in the event.

Other teams have begun to have preliminary observations and understanding of Zhang Yifei's talent and strength. However, without long-term contact, it is difficult to know Zhang Yifei's reaction when facing difficulties.

However, this statement from Prost team after the accident undoubtedly proves Zhang Yifei's big heart. This Chinese driver is really not to be underestimated!

"Montoya, it seems that your chance to revenge has not yet been shattered, and the Chinese newcomer has participated again."

In the Williams team's lounge, Ralph Schumacher lay on the massage table and teased Montoya on the sofa, with a hippie smile on his face.

Compared to his brother Michael Schumacher's popularity and seriousness, Schumacher is obviously much more frivolous.

Whether in the paddock or in the love field, he actually has a completely different side from the Big Schumacher, but it's a pity that his brother's light is so dazzling. In the impression of the world, he will always be the younger brother of the God of the Car.

Montoya listened to Ralph Schumacher's words and snorted coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Although Montoya is a newcomer in the 1-yard field, in fact, no one regards him as a newcomer in the Williams team, even if he is himself, he does not have the awareness of a newcomer.

So in the face of the teasing of the "old man" Schumacher, Montoya didn't give him any good face.

You should know that Montoya was also famous for her fierce temper and rivalry in the past few years. Some people even said that if Montoya was in the same era as the later "turret" Verstappen, the two would definitely drive bumper cars on the track and then get off the car and prepare to fuck.

Seeing Montoya's attitude, Ralph Schumacher didn't care at all and continued: "Fei has a good psychological quality and doesn't look like a newcomer at all. You have encountered a strong enemy this time."

"He is not my opponent."

Montoya replied confidently, "The Indian 500 world champion has brought him great confidence."

Generally, new players enter the first season of 1, which means they are eager to get points, but Montoya's goal is to stand on the podium and even become the champion of the branch. If possible, Montoya even wants to compete for the annual championship.

So Montoya's goal has always been to one of the top drivers such as Coothard, Schumacher, and Barrichello. The accusations against Zhang Yifei were just unhappy after the last game, and his unstoppable personality caused him.

It does not mean that he really attaches importance to Zhang Yifei, nor does he place this new Chinese person in the same position as him.

"Is that true, but I think the Chinese newcomers are very strong, stronger than we thought before."

"Are you afraid of Chinese boys?"

Montoya replied without hesitation.

"Haha, I'm afraid of a newcomer. No matter how strong he is, it won't affect me."

Although Schumacher is frivolous, it does not mean that he has no strength or is not confident.

During the Ferrari Dynasty, it was the peak of Schumacher, and in the past few years, it was also the peak of Schumacher Little.

Schumacher Jr. has performed well in the competition in recent years, and has basically stabilized in the top six driver rankings. He has also won several sub-station championships. Many people have begun to regard him as the successor of the championship.

Later, he transferred to the Toyota driver. His salary was quite high, just according to the championship standards, and the team also gave him high hopes.

But many people did not expect that Schumacher Jr.'s performance during Williams's team was not the beginning of his career, but had become the peak of his career.

In the first year of Toyota, Schumacher Jr.'s performance was pretty good, but he collapsed in the second year. Since then, he has been on a downward verge, which has caused many people to be disappointed with him. It can only be said that Schumacher Jr.'s peak period is very good, but it is too short.

However, Schumacher, now, is at the highlight of his life before he goes downhill. Especially when he won the Canadian Championship in 2001, Schumacher also happened to be on the podium, so several rare photos of the God of Cars used as background boards for his younger brother in history.

So Schumacher can act so easily. In his eyes, Montoya and Zhang Yifei are opponents, but not to him!

"What do you mean, Chinese drivers can only affect me, right?"

Montoya naturally heard the words behind Schumacher. He has the thrilling driving style of American drivers, and also has such a hot and direct personality.

Ralph Schumacher's words, for Montoya, were undoubtedly a sarcastic contempt for himself, which made him very angry.

Facing Montoya's rhetoric, Schumacher just shrugged indifferently, basically making accusation.

This action aroused Montoya's anger. Just as the quarrel was about to break out, the door to the lounge opened and Sir Williams, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed in.

Seeing the boss appear, the two people shut up instantly. Schumach still looked hippie-smiling, but the dissatisfaction on Montoya's face could not be concealed. He is not as emotionally wise as cunning.

Sir Williams was also used to the friction between the two drivers in the team. One of them was not a little biting, and the other one had a hot temper and had no newcomers' awareness, so it was easy for both of them to compete against each other.

However, compared with the out-of-control scenes of Prost's team fighting directly, Sir Williams' decades of operational experience and status are here, and neither of them dares to make a big fuss.

"The qualifying race is about to begin. Are you two ready?"

"And Ralph, pay attention to the opponent's position this time, I don't want the collision of the opening game to be staged again."

Sir Williams warned Schumacher Jr., "Williams didn't get a single point in the Australian Grand Prix, and both drivers retired and ended.

This result is definitely unacceptable for the Big Three teams, so he came to the driver's lounge to remind his two drivers.

"Where is the Chinese boy? Is he going to participate in the qualifying competition?"

"If he doesn't participate, he will start from the pit area tomorrow and participate in the main race."

"That's a pity, there's a wonderful showdown missing."

Schumach said regretfully, and then kept aiming at Montoya, which was very obvious.

This look made Montoya angry again, but Sir Williams is still here. He has the grace of knowing Montoya, so Montoya can only suppress his inner dissatisfaction.

Just as Sir Williams said, Zhang Yifei did not participate in the qualifying match and was directly treated as early withdrawal.

1 Although substitutes are allowed in the event, even qualifying competitions can allow test drivers or third drivers to play. However, in one race, two drivers are not allowed to play in the qualifying and main races.

To put it simply, the substitutes will finish the entire race, and there is no saying that one runs the qualifying race or the other runs the main race.

Zhang Yifei's sprain was not serious, but it was impossible to fully recover in one day. In order to ensure the performance of the main race, he was directly abandoned after the team's decision-making qualifying competition, which also gave Zhang Yifei more time to recover.

Anyway, they all start from the pit area, and the qualifying competition is actually irrelevant to Zhang Yifei.

But during the qualifying competition, he still came to the Sepang Circuit and sat in the B-Zhaiyuan Club area of ​​the track.

To put it simply, it means the area and private rooms on the track, which has the best viewing perspective, and Zhang Yifei also wants to experience the feeling of a pure audience.
