Zhang Yifei's excellent defense, not to mention some spectators on the track, even the team members at the repair station felt a little incredible.

You should know that Montoya's racing experience is not an exaggeration to say that it is crushing Zhang Yifei. Moreover, the style of the Indy series racing is radical, and overtaking is simply common. It can be said that overtaking is one of Montoya's advantages.

This is indeed the case in history. Montoya's first name in F1 was in the Brazilian track in the 2001 season. With the power advantage of Williams racing BMW engine, he caught up with Schumacher, who had already won six consecutive games in the straight.

However, the God of Cars is the God of Cars after all. Before entering the corner, Schumacher still relied on his own skills to seize the corner tangent line first, and seemed to have defended his leading position.

But no one could imagine the next scene. Montoya was extremely cruel and straightforward, and then he frantically pressed Schumacher's route, and even almost squeezed his opponent out of the track. Before he finally got out of the corner, Montoya completed a strong overtaking against Schumacher in his newcomer season.

It is precisely through this transcendence that car fans all over the world know the name Montoya. He is no longer the world champion of the Indy 500, but a super newcomer who comes to F1 and wants to "pull" Schumacher from the championship throne!

But this was just the beginning. After three races, Montoya encountered severe tire blisters. However, he did not choose to enter the station to change tires, but drove the fw23 car, stubbornly defending his midline, and striving to block the five racing cars that followed him.

The driver closest to Montoya is Schumacher who is driving a Ferrari car!

When he came to a curve named Remus, Schumacher, who was pressed by him, finally couldn't help but choose to overtake. If it were other new drivers, considering the tire factors, Schumacher planned to overtake, so he probably chose to surrender long ago.

But Montoya's wild character made him never compromise! He used an extremely late brake operation to maintain his speed advantage and avoid being overtaken by Schumacher. However, in the end, the tires failed to withstand the car and rushed out of control.

However, before breaking out of the track, he also brought Schumacher, who was overtaking, out of the track.

After these two games, Montoya's name was completely launched, and he began to be truly regarded as Schumacher's opponent!

During the Ferrari Dynasty, a new driver could be regarded as Schumacher's opponent, which was definitely a complimentary title, and Montoya undoubtedly proved his strength.

Although the next stop is Brazil, Montoya has not used that curve to attract the attention of car fans all over the world. However, his strength is still recognized by the F1 circle.

With the disadvantage of racing performance, Zhang Yifei defended Montoya with a hard tire long straight road, which was definitely an amazing achievement. It also allowed the team members to see the other side of Zhang Yifei. Not only did he have a strong offense, but his defense was also strong!

"The flying guard line is so beautiful. I didn't give Montoya any chance!"

Henry first praised him. What Zhang Yifei showed before was more of his radical posture and style, used on the offensive and defensive side. To be honest, it can only be just a proper person and there is no special behavior of suppressing the car.

But now, Zhang Yifei's defense can definitely be described as "excellent", and it is not inferior to his offensive side.

Coupled with the performance of the rain battle before, Zhang Yifei did not reveal any of his shortcomings on the F1 track. A newcomer driver with no shortcomings is absolutely terrible.

“It’s very good!”

Prost agreed, in fact, he is a defensive master and has never beaten many opponents on the track.

So he could easily see that Zhang Yifei's defense experience and experienced masters have exceeded the standards of new drivers.

So he turned to look at Cosel and asked, "Cosel, when did Fei receive defensive practice?"

“I haven’t accepted it.”

Kossel simply said these words, Zhang Yifei didn't have the conditions and time to accept defensive practice. In the previous game, Kossel had only one plan, that is offense!

"What?"

Prost, who has always been calm, couldn't help but raise his voice. He could hold Montoya's overtaking without accepting defensive practice. Is this possible?

"I have never received special practice, even at the Toyota base in Japan, Fei has never been exposed to defensive practice."

Yamamoto Ukyo added, saying that he could be said to have witnessed the starting point of Zhang Yifei's Formula career, and he knew very well about these things.

It can only be said that Zhang Yifei's "jumping" in Formula career is too fast. Zhang Yifei jumped over many of the experience and practices that should have accumulated in secondary leagues such as f3 and f3000.

So Zhang Yifei has no time and conditions to accept any defensive practice. If he is suffocating, he will slowly learn and grow during the game. Today, he can perform as a "defensive master" on the track, which is indeed Zhang Yifei's own talent.

“Incredible!”

Henry murmured, then looked at Prost and said, "Boss, how did you see Fei's talent at the beginning?"

"I……"

Prost originally wanted to follow Henry's words and boast about his precise vision.

But everyone knows how Cosel is standing next to him. Moreover, this German is a bit rigid. If the thing is exposed, he will not be able to get out of Taiwan in front of so many employees.

So Prost was not very good at all and could only smile at Henry with a meaningful expression, with a "you understand" expression.

The team praised the Chinese audience at the scene, but Zhang Yifei on the track was not as relaxed as they thought.

Before the first lap on the track was completed, Zhang Yifei's whole body was already soaked with sweat. It can be said that he had been so energetic throughout the defense process, and used various extreme operations to block Montoya's attack.

Even more than once, two cars were on the verge of crashing. Perhaps Montoya had great ambitions in this battle. He suppressed his desire to collide with strong superstars, so the two of them kept "drawing dragons" on the track, but maintaining a balance.

I have to say that Montoya is really strong, much stronger than the previous Australian station, which gave Zhang Yifei a lot of feelings. It may also be related to the opening game being Montoya's debut, and he is not very adaptable to the rhythm of the F1 event.

After having the experience of the opening match, and Montoya himself has rich experience in Indy racing, he can better play his strength at the Malaysian station. Maybe this is Montoya’s true strength!

Moreover, Zhang Yifei also knew that Montoya would be stronger at the next stop, and he would be able to force himself to eat Schumacher on the curve.

It is conceivable how much pressure Zhang Yifei is now in encountering such an opponent.

Zhang Yifei was under great pressure, and Montoya was also shocked. There were reasons for the maintenance passage to be narrow and there were reasons for the route on the curve. On such a long straight road, he still couldn't surpass Zhang Yifei, so there was no reason to find him, and the other party defended himself.

This is also a difficult thing for Montoya to accept. Can he be defended by a Chinese newcomer?

There were several times when Montoya couldn't help but fight in his heart, and planned to fight for the risk of a car crash and forcibly overtaking Zhang Yifei to make way.

But just like Zhang Yifei previously thought that as long as Montoya's front nose wing exceeds his rear wheel, this American-style driver would definitely overtake with the idea of ​​crashing.

Montoya also believes that according to the performance of the Chinese driver on the track, if he forcibly grabs the line, the other party will definitely not let the line. The result is that it depends on who is tougher and can squeeze the other party out.

However, there is a high probability that both sides will suffer losses. The two people collide and both get out of the track.

This kind of scene happened once before on the Albert Park track, and it was the collision that caused Montoya to not finish his debut. The first round of the game has disappointed many Colombian supporters. This time, no matter what, he can no longer end with withdrawal.

It is precisely with this mentality that Montoya suppressed his inner impulses again and again, dealing with Zhang Yifei on the track, thinking about overtaking with his technical hard power.

I have to say that this is the benefit of Zhang Yifei's consistent appearance in F1. Any driver who wants to steal Zhang Yifei's line will subconsciously consider the consequences. After all, this kind of Chinese boy has the courage to not let the line even if he crashes!

Many Chinese Formula drivers in later generations, from the perspective of hard power of control, they are actually not inferior to European drivers, but their results on the track are much worse than those of the other party, and for a big reason they are weak!

This kind of weakness has personality factors, and there are many factors that are rich, but they are cowardly! You dare not forcefully grab the line, overtake, and defend. Once or twice, your opponent can maintain his technical advantages even if he cannot figure out the details.

But as the competition increases, the opponent gradually realizes that he is facing a soft boy. Who do you bully if you don’t?

Motorsports is also a game of strong confrontation, but the protagonist of this confrontation is not a human, but a racing car.

In any confrontational movement, the tough will always have an advantage, and weakness means being bullied!

After the two long straights that best show Williams' racing power advantages passed, Zhang Yifei's pressure was relieved a lot next.

And more importantly, as the number of laps began to increase, Zhang Yifei's hard tire temperature gradually reached the optimal working temperature, and the grip was much stronger than at the beginning. Zhang Yifei could increase the cornering speed faster, and he became more at ease when defending Montoya.
Chapter completed!
