Brendel did not argue with Gonzalez. After two days of practice and qualifying, the commentators of the two Brazilian Grand Prix were obviously on the opposite side.

Even though Brendel is not a loyal fan of Zhang Yifei, in order to disgust Gonzalez, he now habitually stands on Zhang Yifei's position.

However, as Gonzalez said, the initial stage was a bit disadvantageous for Zhang Yifei, so it was difficult for him to make a conclusion.

The warm bead ended, and all the cars returned to the starting area of ​​the track. Zhang Yifei is on the right side of the track at this moment, and directly in front is McLaren driver Coothard, the second-ranked race.

This guy can currently be regarded as the Big Three driver in the F1 paddock, second only to Schumacher, and is in a similar position with Barrichello. The total points ranking is either he occupies the second position or Barrichello occupies the second position.

However, compared to Schumacher and Barrichello are at the beginning of their peak, Kurthard is already at the end of his peak this season, which is considered the final glory.

When this season comes, a group of newcomers in the F1 paddock, such as Montoya, Kimi Raikkonen, and even Jason Patton, who is even more behind, Alonso will emerge and take the historical stage of F1.

This represents the end of an era of F1 and the end of the glory of the God of Cars in the 1990s.

However, Zhang Yifei's eyes were fixed on Barrichello in the front left. He was third in the qualifying round, and Barrichello was the pole driver Schumacher in front of him, two red Ferrari chariots arranged one in front and one behind.

This is also a scene that can be seen frequently in the f1 paddock. Ferrari Red can always appear in the front row parking space.

The prompt light above the track began to light up, and Zhang Yifei moved his eyes away from Barrichello. Although he was aggressive on the track, he was far from losing his mind. Cosell's tactical strategy was very correct. He was not Barrichello's opponent in the initial stage.

If you want to compete for speed blindly, the final result is that you will be thrown away a lot. It is better to focus on Montoya behind you.

Although Williams Racing is not as strong as McLaren and Ferrari at this stage, it is not comparable to Prost Racing. Zhang Yifei was once tried by Montoya, and this kind of scene must not be performed again on the Interlagers track.

At least before entering the No. 1 Senna Route, Zhang Yifei wanted to block Montoya tightly by the driver, not giving him any chance.

Zhang Yifei also has sufficient confidence in blocking Montoya, because he has performed several times before, and the most exaggerated time has hit Montoya for fifteen laps!

Even though the Interlagues track is Montoya's half-home track, Zhang Yifei doesn't think Montoya has any chance to surpass him. He could have been suppressed behind the car and consumed exhaust gas throughout the whole journey, but the Brazilian station can still do it!

The five indicator lights went out, which was different from the orderly start of the bead warming. This time, the drivers' starting movements were obviously much faster, and the roaring sounds made by the engine became much more irritable.

This time, Zhang Yifei was fighting for his honor and was very focused. Almost the moment the starting indicator light went out, he rushed out with a throttle. The starting response was definitely one of the best on the F1 track at present.

Since the acceleration performance is not as good as the opponent, you must not fall behind in startup speed. Otherwise, if you don’t have any advantage, what can you do to run with others?

Barrichello and Montoya are not slow, but they may be just a thousand minutes away from Zhang Yifei. This slightly behind is not obvious in the initial stage. They can completely recover in the subsequent straight-line acceleration with their racing performance.

However, at this time something strange happened. Zhang Yifei rushed out quickly, but the McLaren team's Cooterhard started very slowly, and it could even be said to be slow to start, which was similar to the starting speed of an ordinary person driving a manual gearbox.

This starting speed should not occur in F1 drivers, even in low-end events.

So Zhang Yifei did not consider that the strength of a driver like Coothard, who is currently at the Big Three, would have problems at the beginning. When he stepped on the accelerator, he almost hit the rear of the car in front.

"An unexpected situation happened. Coothard from McLaren's team seemed to have problems starting and his speed was obviously too slow. His starting speed directly blocked the Prost team flying in the rear car, causing the flight to be forced to change lanes and surpass."

"But at this moment, Williams driver Montoya, who was behind Fei, took the opportunity to overtake from the left. We all know the rules of the F1 race. When the front nose of the rear car crosses the rear wheel of the front car, it is not allowed to change lanes, so Fei was forced to block Coothard's car and was easily overtaken by Montoya."

"And it's not just Montoya, but also Sauber's newcomer Hydefield also seized this opportunity and followed Montoya's driver to overtake. After being surpassed by two opponents in a row, Fei finally completed the lane change, blocking McLaren team Ralph Schumacher who wanted to overtake!"

Brendel used extremely fast speech speed to explain to the audience the emergencies that occurred on the track.

This accident was really unexpected. No one would have thought that such a mistake in starting a game would happen to David Coothard. You should know that he is a veteran in F1. He has been ranked in the top four in the standings in the past five years and is known as a strong contender for the world championship.

But this accident happened. Zhang Yifei was blocked from the car after some reason, and fell behind two places, and ranked sixth.

"What's the situation! Can Coothard make such a low-level mistake? Will McLaren and Williams control the race?"

In the maintenance station, Prost looked at the sudden scene on the track and punched the table, feeling extremely angry inside.

In this competition, Zhang Yifei withstood the pressure of the practice competition and rose against the trend, causing the morale of all members of the Prost team to reach a peak, waiting for Zhang Yifei to perform the Malaysian miracle again and stand on the podium.

As a result, I never expected that such an accident would happen. If Ralph Schumacher had not surpassed him, Prost would have really suspected that the Big Three teams had agreed to control the race.

After all, among the top seven drivers, except for Zhang Yifei and Sauber's Hydefield, the other five are members of the Big Three team. If the person who surpasses Zhang Yifei after blocking Zhang Yifei is Ralph Schumacher, not Hydefield, then the front row is equivalent to being monopolized by the Big Three team.

The Interlagers track is narrow and difficult to overtake. In addition, these three teams have the advantages of racing performance, so they all went to the front, and the drivers behind them even ran a hammer!

"It shouldn't be that it looks like Coothard's racing failure, so there are problems starting."

"After all, Williams team has a qualifying second and a qualifying fifth, and they have great advantages in running normally. Now, after such a struggle, it becomes a third and an eighth, which is completely unworthy of the loss."

Listening to Henry's persuasion, Prost took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. In fact, what he said was an angry word. As a world-class driver, how could he not understand these principles?

But Coothard said that whether it was a mistake or a malfunction, the accident had a great blow to the Prost team. Zhang Yifei was originally ranked fourth, but inexplicably fell to the sixth.

More importantly, it was overtaken by Montoya!

Although Zhang Yifei beat Montoya in the fastest lap of the qualifying tournament and ranked fourth, the gap between the two was actually very small. Even in the Prost strategy group, they believed that Zhang Yifei had no advantage over Montoya on the Interlagers track.

Under the lead, Montoya may be able to suppress her. Now she is behind, so it is really difficult to get back. The Brazilian track has a little too big advantage for American drivers!

However, no matter how angry it is, it cannot change the facts on the track. Prost only hopes that Zhang Yifei can suppress Ralph Schumacher behind him. This guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is likely to surpass him during the acceleration of the long straight.

Zhang Yifei on the track is now like a dog-like heart!

At the beginning, his attention was actually more focused on Montoya behind him. After all, normal thinking would never have imagined that a top driver in the f1 paddock could have unexpected situations at the beginning.

So it was not until the rear-end that Zhang Yifei was about to carry out emergency lane change control. But at this time, the cars behind him had already caught up and did not give Zhang Yifei any space to change lanes. If Zhang Yifei had not forcibly "plug" and blocked Xiao Shumach, he would probably have to retreat 1 to 2 positions.

Zhang Yifei vaguely remembers that similar situations seemed to have occurred in the 2001 Brazil Grand Prix. However, Mika Hakinen, the third-ranked McLaren driver, was unable to start due to a racing failure and stopped in the middle of the track, which also led to the launch of a safety car.

In the end, Mika Hakinen returned to the repair station and did not solve the problem of racing failure, and ended up withdrew from the race.

But Mika Hakkinen has retired in this world, and Kimi Raikkonen has replaced him with McLaren.

As a result, the starting failure in history still happened, but the protagonist changed from Mika Hakkinen to his teammate David Coothard.

Zhang Yifei couldn't help but suspect that the broken racing car in the fucking history had been transferred to Cooterhard's hands. Otherwise, there would have been no such coincidence that he could encounter such a big thunder and witness history repeat itself.
Chapter completed!
