414 Strong Response (Chapter 1)

Looking at Montoya who took the opportunity to drive past him, Zhang Yifei's face looked ugly. He really didn't expect that he would beat Montoya several times and ended up being surpassed in this way.

In the f1 yard, Zhang Yifei has always known this sentence: his teammates are his biggest threat and opponent!

But on the track, the only teammate who can fight alongside you is the one you regard as the biggest threat.

How to control the balance between two drivers, exert chemical reactions, and get a result of one plus one greater than two, it depends on the team's control and the driver's emotional intelligence. Today's scene can also be regarded as a lesson for Zhang Yifei. Sometimes, it's really not possible to fight alone in F1.

"Beautiful, this is the cooperation of the Big Three teams!"

"This must be a convoy order issued by Sir Williams, and only he has this authority."

"Although it was not a head-on defeat on the track, it should be impossible for the Chinese boy to catch up with Montoya again."

"Chinese guy, aren't you very arrogant? You're at the bottom now!"

"There is only one super newcomer, that is Montoya, who will become the double champion of Indy 500 and F1 in the future!"

The audience on the track also became frenzy when they saw Montoya succeed in overtaking.

Just like Zhang Yifei has a group of Chinese "iron fans", Montoya also has a group of Colombian fans. Moreover, compared with Zhang Yifei, Montoya is more well-known in Colombia and has a superstar status.

So even though Colombia is just a small country, there are quite a few supporters at each stop. Even foreigners from many other countries believe that Montoya has the potential to become the next F1 world champion.

In addition, the Malay audiences on the scene "turned over". For a moment, Montoya's track momentum was simply amazing, and he felt like he was fighting at home, even surpassing the previous calls for Schumacher, second only to Xiong Long's appearance during the practice game.

After Montoya surpassed the past, Schumacher did not stop his movements of blocking Zhang Yifei.

Because this section of the road is still a distance from the entrance of the maintenance passage, since the wingman has already made the move to block the car, I might as well block the Chinese boy behind and not give him any chance to compete for points in the Sepang track.

Although Schumacher Little Sumacher has no hostility towards Zhang Yifei, and the two have no intersection before. However, he is a white European man, and the usual sense of superiority in the F1 paddock makes Schumacher Little Sumacher does not like a yellow-skinned competitor on the track.

This kind of case is similar to the experience of a Japanese driver entering the F1 paddock. In history, like Akuri Suzuki, Takuma Sato and others ran for F1 for several years, but they never really integrated into that circle. Even the teammates of their own team did not form any friendship.

The reason for these is that after decades of F1 history, this has always been a white game. Japanese drivers do not have the ability to break this monopoly and can only become passers-by in the F1 paddock.

What really broke this situation in later generations was Hamilton's emergence. As a mixed-race black driver, he gained a foothold in the f1 paddock and used his absolute strength to make himself the king. F1 is no longer a "playground" for white drivers!

Of course, Zhang Yifei didn't know the psychological state of Schumacher. He just felt unhappy and angry because he was blocked from the car.

Especially the brakes of Schumacher, in a sense, have surpassed conventional tactical barriers and have the smell of malicious driving.

As a result, seeing that the other party was still changing lanes and wanted to continue to block himself, Zhang Yifei's discomfort came to an explosion point. Without any hesitation, he kicked the floor oil and changed lanes directly in the opposite direction and surpassed the slow-moving little Schumacher.

Even at the moment when the two of them were side by side, Zhang Yifei slammed the steering wheel and made a move that he wanted to hit the other side.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's sudden action, Shumahe instinctively controlled the car to avoid it. However, after Zhang Yifei approached an unsafe distance, he immediately corrected his route and accelerated and left.

There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei's actions were definitely not a mistake in operation, but were just doing this on purpose, which was a strong response to the previous brake!

"The Chinese newcomer is interesting."

Seeing Zhang Yifei getting farther and farther away, a playful smile appeared on Xiao Shumach's face.

Although he felt an inexplicable sense of superiority towards Asian drivers like Zhang Yifei, it was all caused by environmental factors, and many times he himself did not even realize that he had a sense of superiority.

So in the face of Zhang Yifei's overtaking provocation, he was not angry. On the contrary, he felt that this Chinese driver was very different from the Asian driver he had contacted before, which aroused his interest.

“The Chinese newcomer has a very unique personality.”

In the Williams team repair station, technical director Pat Simmonds, looked at Zhang Yifei's provocative actions on the track, hugged his hands in front of his chest and said lightly.

Pat Simmonds is a top figure in the F1 technology level. He even served as Schumacher's competition engineer in the 1994 and 1995 seasons, helping a generation of car gods to establish his first defending title.

However, unlike those traditional racing engineers bound to drivers, Simmonds is on the technical route and focuses more on racing research and development, so he did not transfer with Schumacher, but came to Williams team after several twists and turns to serve as the team's technical director.

It is precisely because of his strong technology that Simmonds later joined the management of the F1 Alliance and became the chief technology officer of F1.

The experience of a champion driver racing engineer made him different from the technical director who doesn’t express his competition opinions. He often participates in the strategy formulation of Williams team. Mobile::

Schumacher's move to block the car was actually formulated by him and Sir Williams. So he was surprised to see Zhang Yifei's strong response.

After all, in the f1 paddock, few drivers dare to make such provocative actions in response in their newcomer season. In particular, Zhang Yifei is also a Chinese driver from Asia, which is even rarer.

No wonder many media reported before that this Chinese driver is unique, but now he looks really unique.

"When Fei was a junior driver, he refused the invitation of Williams team test drivers, so according to his personality, this strong response is nothing."

Sir Williams never forgot Zhang Yifei's rejection of the invitation. After all, a pure newcomer directly rejected the invitation from the Big Three team, which was beyond ordinary personality.

"Yeah?"

Simmonds only joined Williams this year, and he doesn't really know the story of the Renault Formula.

After all, except for the team boss who wants to dig out potential drivers, the people in the f1 paddock generally do not focus on Renault's primary equation, and the gap between the two sides is too big.

"If you were asked to choose again, would the No. 2 driver still choose Montoya or the Chinese newcomer fly?"

Simmonds replied with interest. He heard a hint of regret and regret from Williams' mouth. In addition, Zhang Yifei's strong performance also made him interested in this Chinese newcomer, so he wanted to hear the thoughts of Prost, the founder of the track's "Gold Medal".

"Montoya."

Williams gave his own answer without any hesitation.

"Oh, why?"

“Because Williams team doesn’t need to bet.”

Sir Williams, sitting in a wheelchair, said this with a thin body, but it contained incredible confidence and confidence.

It took him nearly thirty years to bring Williams, an independent private fleet, to the peak of the F1 paddock. So he doesn't need to block the future and destiny of the team as they did in the same way as some small teams.

Williams team can directly choose stronger and more stable drivers. There is no doubt that compared with the world champion of the Indy 500 racing, Zhang Yifei's historical performance is much worse than his qualifications.

After hearing this, Simmonds did not ask. The top team is the top team after all, and its foundation and strength are enough to attract excellent drivers to join. There is no need to do that unnecessary adventure.

"Oh! Is Fei's move just now provoking Ralph Schumacher? A newcomer in the track, provoking Williams' No. 1 driver, is very courageous, but I don't think this is a wise move."

"Because this is very likely to anger Ralph. You should know that Ralph is definitely not a track rookie. As Schumacher's younger brother, he also has the ability to win the championship. Although Ralph Schumacher now has no countermeasures due to a racing failure, when he comes out of the repair station, maybe Fei will get into big trouble!

The voice of the track commentator Brendel rang out, and his previous focus was always on the first tier of the track.

This is true for any sports event. Everyone’s attention is on the championship competition in the leading echelons, and few people care about what the bottom players are like.

After Schumacher, Barrichello and Schumacher Jr. started, the struggle was extremely fierce. The camera was always on them, and the drivers behind them were more like "runners".

But in fact, in many cases, the "Earth Group" in the F1 event is so intense that it even surpasses the "Mars Group" that leads the echelon. The reason is also very simple, that is, the "Earth Group" has uneven levels, and it is more likely to have some crazy hot operations.

Of course, no matter how intense the Earth group is, it is more like a kind of genius pecking each other, and the chance of getting the camera is relatively small. However, the Malaysian station was exceptional. Zhang Yifei, a bottom-ranked driver, also welcomed the broadcast camera because of Schumacher's car blocking and the voices of the track audience.

So Brendel happened to see Zhang Yifei's provocative counterattack. This move is really rare for newcomers in the track, but it also conforms to Zhang Yifei's usual arrogant and tough image.

"Hmph, the driver Fei once again made dangerous driving moves. It seems that this is his driving habit. If Ralph Schumacher chased after him, he might repeat the mistakes of Alex."

Another voice sounded, and he was Abdulla Mohada, the local commentator of the Malaysian station.

This is also a model for the F1 event. Each event will invite a local host to explain the event together.

The commentator of the Australian station is Chez. The specially invited local commentator of the Malaysia station is Mohada from the Malay Witch tribe.
