473 Rookie vs Veteran (Chapter 1)

In the 2001 season in history, Montoya relied on the amazing surpassing of the Brazilian Grand Prix that he won six consecutive championships and was far ahead in almost every stop, making the world's car fans know this Colombian driver.

The history of this world has changed. Zhang Yifei's joining made Montoya famous in advance, but it was more of a negative impact, similar to Zhang Yifei's stepping stone.

After all, the Indy World Champion driver was completely won by a Chinese newcomer in two races, and it was unreasonable to put them anywhere. Even Colombian fans were embarrassed to brag about it.

So at this stop, most viewers are not very optimistic about Montoya, and they will not think that he has the strength to challenge Schumacher. The best expectation for Montoya before the race is that it would be good if he can complete the revenge of Zhang Yifei. The glory of American drivers and the championship of the Interlagers track should be left to Barrichello.

But what happened on the track today was so exaggerated that the audience couldn't react a little.

The world's top driver like Kurthard failed to start, and Ralph Schumacher was crushed by a Chinese newcomer in cornering speed. Kimi Raikkonen, a super newcomer who created a miracle, was even more adept. He could even step on the brakes and lock them in a tire after a corner!

The occurrence of track events has surprised some spectators. Is there any weird magic in the Brazilian Grand Prix? Can so many surprises occur?

If the audience can still accept what happened before, then the more than 100,000 viewers on the track now feel like watching a science fiction movie, which is really a bit unreal.

Montoya actually started in the first lap and surpassed Zhang Yifei and Coothard. Shortly after Senna turned around, he inexplicably surpassed Barrichello to second place. Now he has caught up with Schumacher again, and his attack is very strong.

Is this Colombian driver ready to go to the sky at the Interlagers Circuit?

Maybe the situation changed too quickly, even the Colombian car fans on the scene were a little stunned and forgot to cheer for Montoya. As for Brazilian car fans, it was even more embarrassing. Many people shouted the slogan of American glory, but they did not intend to share the Brazilian Grand Prix championship with the Colombians.

Now that Montoya is leading, should he cheer for him or Barrichello come back? This is an embarrassing choice. No one expected that the American Glory League would break so quickly.

"I can't believe it, I really can't believe that so many wonderful stories can happen in the first lap of the Brazilian station!"

"At this moment, Montoya finally showed his strength as the Indy World Champion, and began to use the power advantages of BMW engines to chase the pole driver Schumacher crazy."

"This is the first time Schumacher has faced a challenge from a new driver since the start of the new F1 season. Whether Schumacher will defend his absolute kingship on the track, or whether Montoya can show the glory of American drivers on the Brazilian track, let's wait and see!"

Brendel's commentary was very excited because the scene on the track today was much more intense than expected. Not only was the battle between newcomers, but even the first group drivers who were "high and above" in the past began to face the challenges of the second group drivers!

If Montoya can surpass Schumacher today, there is no doubt that he will become the most dazzling driver in the Brazilian Grand Prix!

Montoya's face also showed a flush on his face at this moment. In addition to the hot weather in Brazil, he was more excited in his heart.

This is the first time he has been able to reach the second place and has the opportunity to challenge the strongest driver at the f1 paddock. And compared to other places, Montoya is full of confidence in the Interlagues track.

Now the opportunity to become famous in one battle is right in front of you, Montoya will never let it miss it from his own hands!

While Montoya was chasing Schumacher wildly, Zhang Yifei was constantly narrowing the distance with Sauber driver Heidfield.

Compared with the general driver rookie-peak-recession career trajectory, Hydefield follows the line of collapse-renewcomer-recession. He can be said to be at the peak of his debut, and because of his own limitations, he has no way to go further.

For Zhang Yifei, Hydefield was the first driver I met in the f1 paddock. In a sense, the two of them have been teammates for a few days. However, such teammates in name naturally have no friendship. Zhang Yifei would definitely not be ruthless if he wanted to surpass him.

Watching the Prost car behind approaching quickly, the expression on Hydefield's face was also very serious.

He is a professional driver. Looking at Zhang Yifei's driving skills and strength, he will not judge simply based on his own preferences like ordinary audiences. There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei can now be regarded as one of the strongest drivers among the newcomers, and even surpasses the world champion Montoya in some aspects.

Hydefield was actually not very impressed by Zhang Yifei, but he just saw it in the headquarters building. At that time, he had already broken up with Alaisi and was thinking about how to terminate the contract with the team. He was not in the mood to pay attention to a new driver.

Even in Hydefield's initial judgment, Zhang Yifei might have been prost interested in the Chinese sponsorship behind him, so he would have joined the team. Otherwise, how could a Chinese newcomer be allowed to join the team in an F1 team?

But now, Hydefield no longer questioned Zhang Yifei's strength, so when he saw Zhang Yifei quickly close the distance, he was ready to fight with all his strength!

The two cars began to chase wildly on the track, but when they passed Turn 3, they would face the second long straight in the Interrages track.

Zhang Yifei's turn out speed in Turn 3 is actually faster than Hydefield, but Sauber team got the Ferrari engine this year, and the two drivers were in their peak period. Zhang Yifei could not get closer to Hydefield on the long straight.

However, when this long straight passes, you will have to face the multiple detours of the Interlagers track. This is the special feature of the Brazilian track. The straight and curves are in a 55-5 layout, and they are clearly divided into two parts, which makes the team feel very troubled when choosing suspension and formulating strategies.

Heidfield and Zhang Yifei rushed into multiple detours one after another. Zhang Yifei was no longer polite at this time. He kicked the floor oil and directly bit the rear of Heidfield's car and began to overtake.

"Nick, keep your own route and don't give any chance to the Chinese boys behind!"

Sauber team manager Bit loudly reminded Hydefield through the voice system. He knew that Zhang Yifei was not a rookie. If he relaxed a little more careless, he would give the Chinese boy a chance.

Heidfield performed well in these two stops, but the difference in performance with Zhang Yifei is still very obvious. In addition, the performance of the Prost team was terrible before, so Sauber was not very confident about him.

After all, they do not have the vision of Zhang Yifei's God. I don't know that Hydefield's debut at the peak, and this season is one of his best performances.

Not to mention Sauber, even Hydefield himself didn't think he could defend Zhang Yifei at will. So he simply gave up on the idea of ​​competition, took defensive lines, and blocked Zhang Yifei tightly.

To be honest, this tactical strategy is very effective for Hydefield. He is not a talented driver himself, and his career performance is only mid-level. If he really races wildly with Zhang Yifei, it will not be in line with his driving habits and style.

And this is exactly what Zhang Yifei is willing to see. Although his career is pitifully short, it is fine to call it a hob. Three stops have not been completed. If the practice competition is included, big and small crashes have come four or five times, far exceeding the frequency of accidents for other newcomers.

If the F1 organization has a crash frequency statistics, Zhang Yifei will definitely be the first. What he is most afraid of is that others will fight him head-on. At worst, they will have a bumper car.

With Hydefield's defensive route and the narrow road surface of the Interrages track, Zhang Yifei made a tentative attack several times. It was really not an easy thing to surpass him.

His pursuit was also curbed, and he could only follow Hydefield, showing a stalemate, running two laps on the track.

Zhang Yifei did not find a chance to surpass Hydefield, but Ralph Schumacher behind him caught up again.

At this moment, Schumacher's heart was full of fighting spirit. Although he could not hear the commentary and the audience's questioning, he knew in his heart that his performance of Sennawan was unqualified.

As a F1 veteran, how could he be thrown away by a newcomer like Zhang Yifei in terms of hard strength in cornering?

"Fly, turn 9, 4th gear 190, the right wall line exceeds Hydefield, don't give Ralph the back any chance to fight!"

Seeing Schumacher catching up, Cosell directly issued an overtaking order at the repair station.

He knew Ralph Schumacher's strength. The No. 1 Senna was thrown away by Zhang Yifei. It was definitely not the difference in the strength of the two people, but the failure of Schumacher overtaking caused his own confusion in the lineup.

This time he came back with great force, and he was absolutely extremely serious and fierce. If he was dragged down by Schumacher, he would have a big gap with the drivers ahead.

In Kossel's heart, Zhang Yifei's opponent was named Schumacher, but he was definitely not Ralph, but Michael!

"Teacher, the risk of overtaking with this speed is too high. If you make a mistake, the car will be destroyed and the person will die!"

When Yamamoto Ukyo heard this instruction, even if he was not a member of the strategy group, he couldn't help but stand up and dissuade Cosel.
