Listening to Henry's excited voice, Zhang Yifei felt like he was dreaming. Did he hear it wrong or had an hallucination?

But after about ten seconds, he saw the sand buffer zone, the McLaren race car parked in place and motionless.

Zhang Yifei woke up at this moment. All this was not a dream. He really had luck. He picked up a third place in the sub-station and would be on the podium at the second stop of his career!

Then he woke up, Zhang Yifei's ambition! Kurthard was squeezed out of the track by colliding with Barrichello. In other words, Barrichello's racing car may be damaged. Do you have the chance to catch up or surpass Barrichello?

This idea was something that Zhang Yifei dared not think about before. At present, in the f1 yard, except for the great god Schumacher, who cannot shake it, Barrichello's five-year record in the Ferrari Dynasty can also be described as being top-notch.

During the five years of the Ferrari Dynasty, Barrichello's chances of entering the points zone were as high as 60%, and more than 30% of those who came to the podium were also on the podium.

This record can be regarded as the absolute number one driver in any team, and it must be regarded as a treasure.

But Schumacher of Ferrari is really dazzling. Barrichello's record is as good as a god. He has to face a super god-level and can only become the second driver in the team, and even plays a guest role in the wingman at critical moments.

But then again, when Barrichello has no Ferrari's halo, his professional record can be described as "collapse". Points dropped from the top three of the F1 season every year to more than 10 or 20 places. It is simply unbelievable that this is the record of the same driver.

It is precisely because of this huge gap that many people think that Barrichello can achieve his peak record by holding Ferrari's thighs. Moreover, this argument even extends to Michael Schumacher. If Ferrari hadn't been too strong in the past five years, Schumacher would have been unlikely to win his five consecutive championships.

Of course, if you have to say that, there are also such factors. Many times, the birth of a legend emphasizes the right time, place, and people. If there is any difference, it may leave a huge regret.

To achieve a miraculous record of five consecutive championships, it naturally requires a perfect fit between the driver and the team.

The person who just made this argument for forgetting a very important fact. That is, before Schumacher entered the Ferrari team, he had already won two world championship titles in Benetton.

The results are irrefutable. It may take a little luck to become a legend, but Schumacher's hard power is indisputable!

"Cosell, how many seconds am I behind Barrichello now, and how fast he hits the driver's lap speed is, how much worse is the current lap speed?"

Zhang Yifei's two questions were transmitted to the ears of team members through the fleet voice system. Their first reaction was not to answer the question, but to be shocked.

That's right, it's extremely shocking!

In theory, a new driver, when he first learned that he could get on the podium, the shocking sending him should be cheering and celebrating and joy, rather than asking the speed and lap speed of the driver ahead.

Zhang Yifei was able to ask this question, and there was no doubt that his inner thoughts were not satisfied with the status quo and planned to challenge Barrichello, who was ahead. As a newcomer who only ran two stops and had the first chance to get on the podium, he was not satisfied with the third place in the sub-station. How could he not be shocked when he wanted to challenge the runner-up?

Compared to the shock of the team members, Cosell's old face rarely smiled.

This is why I recognized the Chinese boy at the beginning. I had arrogant ambitions, did not fear any challenges, only had a title in my eyes, and I would never stop my pursuit!

"Barrichello is currently leading you about 10 seconds. After the crash, his racing fairing has problems, increasing a lot of resistance. Now he is almost 2 seconds behind you in a lap."

Hearing this data, Zhang Yifei silently calculated it in his mind.

The number of laps completed at Sepang Track was 55, and he was not slapped by Schumacher, so he had the last four laps left with Barrichello. Coothard was ahead of him 15 seconds, and Barrichello, who was in the front, would only lead more.

As a result, this collision directly knocked out Barrichello's advantage of 5 seconds, with only 10 seconds left. The failure of the racing fairing made Barrichello's lap speed 2 seconds behind, and he could recover for 8 seconds in four laps.

In other words, theoretically, the gap between himself and Barrichello is only 2 seconds left!

This gap is actually not an exaggeration and backwardness in the rain battle. You can even easily catch up with it by playing a good job.

But the problem is that Zhang Yifei's current lap speed is already his limit. If he wants to increase the lap by at least 0.5 seconds, and also counts the time he fought with Barrichello, it is estimated that one second in a lap should be enough.

Improve the lap by 1 second? Calculate this number and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yifei's mouth.

The longer the rainfall time, the worse the drainage capacity of the track will be, and the more water will accumulate. When the competition comes to this point, when facing such a track situation, you should not think about overtaking, but how to keep your position.

Not only Zhang Yifei calculated the risks, but also the team strategy group.

Prost even spoke in person: "Fei, I can understand your desire for grades, but the weather and road conditions are not suitable for risky actions. Being able to get on the podium is already a good enough result for new drivers."

"Fly, keep calm and wait for the game to end."

Henry also echoed that Prost team has not been on the podium for several years since it was replaced with the Peugeot engine. Now Zhang Yifei's performance is a historic breakthrough for Prost team in recent years and can be obtained steadily.

If something unexpected happens because of the final impulse, it will be an unacceptable situation.

Cosell listened to the advice of the team strategy team, and he did not speak or give his own decision.

From his position, or according to Kossell's personality, he would ask Zhang Yifei to attack higher rankings.

But Cosell is not a driver on the track, so there is inevitably no suspicion of standing and talking without a back pain.

The first time in life, I have the chance to get on the podium, which is definitely a very morale boost for a newcomer. If I take off my advice, it may be difficult for Zhang Yifei to recover from the next few events.

Hearing the persuasion of the convoy strategy team, Zhang Yifei was also extremely conflicted at this moment. The previous outbreak of ambition made him think of challenging Barrichello. But once he calculated rationally, he began to become worried about gains and losses and fear!

Just when Zhang Yifei felt unable to make a decision, he happened to pass the Chinese audience area of ​​the track. He saw the scene where he did not hold an umbrella in the heavy rain, but chose to wave the red flag to support himself, and suddenly he made a decision in his heart.

China does not need drivers who meet the status quo, but they need to have the courage to challenge and make breakthroughs.

Even if it fails in the end, it will be better than shrinking away!

"Cosell, please pay attention to the lap speed of the chin Barrichello, and the tire's grip data."

When Cosell heard Zhang Yifei say this, he understood his choice.

So he replied firmly: "Don't worry, just run away."

Almost as Cosel's voice fell, Zhang Yifei's accelerator had already stepped on it deeply. He was going to complete his last catch-up at the Sepang Track, targeting Barrichello!

The car speed began to increase, and the inverse-percent decrease in stability made the car's handling extremely difficult. Even when turning several times, Zhang Yifei felt that the car had already shown signs of a tail swing, which was a manifestation of insufficient tire grip.

If the speed is faster, or if Zhang Yifei hits the steering wheel hard, the tail will completely slip and turn around the track.

Zhang Yifei's speed increased, and Barrichello's speed slowed down, he could already feel the shortening of the distance between the two with his naked eyes. Even those viewers who did not know what Zhang Yifei's call with the convoy could feel his catching-up attitude at this moment.

Not to mention the track commentator from the perspective of "high altitude". They can exaggerately see Zhang Yifei approaching Barrichello little by little. The speed of the fast approach means that this Chinese boy is not satisfied with the third place in the track. He also wants to challenge the Ferrari team's impeccable runner-up position!

"Are Chinese newcomers crazy? If you want to go further in this track situation, don't you be afraid of losing control and withdrawing from the competition at that time, and all your efforts will be in vain?"

Looking at the crazy scenes of the track, Malay explained Mohada, who could hide his hiding before, finally expressed his inner thoughts.

"razy"! I have never seen such a strong driver, even the new player Senna of the past, loses his current success. If he really surpasses Barrichello, there is no doubt that today's event will be recorded in the history of F1!"

Brendel gave the highest evaluation of this event, whether it was from the backward departure of the repair station to the shock of more than 18 cars in a row. Now, when we are at the end of the game, we still have the courage to attack the 19th opponent.

Zhang Yifei's performance in this game today will be passed down by the world, just like Senna's name in the rain.

Perhaps at some stage in the future, when people discuss F1, the name of Zhang Yifei in the rain will appear. However, compared to the difficult Chinese name, Brendel is more willing to call Zhang Yifei the Flying Man in the Rain.
