Zhang Yifei didn't know why Barrichello made such a mistake, but this did not prevent him from seizing this opportunity, and directly accelerated with a throttle, surpassing Brazilian driver Barrichello at the second corner of the double corner!

When this scene appeared, the audience opened their mouths wide, their faces full of shock and incredibleness.

Although Barrichello did not get rid of Zhang Yifei in this game, and his performance was not very satisfying to the home audience. But he blocked Zhang Yifei for dozens of laps and did not give the Chinese boy any chance.

As a result, on the 41st lap, Barrichello was surpassed by Zhang Yifei.

This scene instantly defeated the psychological defense of the Brazilian audience, from the initial shock to the anger behind, and even various insults began to appear on the track.

"Baricello, you have lost the face of the Brazilian driver. Gonzalez knows that the Chinese are going to overtake here, but you can't stop it?"

"Is the Ferrari team strategy group a waste? It reminds the drivers that they haven't, so why are they overtaken?"

"You are worthy of inheriting the title of Senna's Brazilian car king? It's the biggest insult to Senna!"

"Today is the shame day for Brazilian drivers. You can't even get away with a newcomer!"

"Why can't you see the strength of the practice competition? Are you nervous at home?"

There were so many praises before, so there were so many slander now. Perhaps from the beginning to the end, most Brazilian audiences had never thought that Barrichello would lose to Chinese drivers.

You should know that their initial expectations were the champion, and they did not take Zhang Yifei seriously at all. This kind of cat and dog-level driver is only worthy of Barrichello to use it to establish his power in the practice competition.

Barrichello always has only one opponent, that is, Schumacher, a teammate in the same team. If you defeat him, you will be able to win the championship in the Interlagers circuit!

Not to mention the audience was very angry, even the Ferrari Team Repair Station, manager Jean Todd punched the console panel and said in a roaring voice.

"Who can give me an explanation? Barrichello has been reminded by the team, why can such mistakes still occur?"

Faced with the manager's anger, the other team members kept silent at this time, and no one wanted to hit the gun.

But at this time, a man in a suit with glasses stood up, and he was Ferrari's technical director Ross Brown.

Ross Brown is a talented engineer who designed many top racing cars as an aerodynamician in the F1 paddock.

For example, Schumacher's defending car at Benetton was the hands of Ross Brown. Later, with the decline of Benetton, Schumacher showed up to Ferrari, and Ross Brown also turned around and continued to work with the two.

So Ross Brown, Schumacher and Jean Todd formed the Iron Triangle of Ferrari, and later generations also called these three people the "Dream Combination."

It was in the hands of these three that Ferrari started his dynasty era, winning the driver's world championship for five consecutive years and winning the team's world championship for six consecutive years. It is no exaggeration to say that at this time Ferrari dominated the world of F1.

So in the face of Jean Todd's anger, only Ross Brown has the identity and status to stand up.

"Any accident on the track is possible. No one will be a winning general. Barrichello's ranking is still not bad at the moment, so there is no need to be angry. And then again, is Chinese driver flying really weak?"

Faced with Ross Brown's rhetoric, Jean Todd suddenly fell silent.

To be honest, Ferrari had never paid much attention to Zhang Yifei before the Malaysian Grand Prix.

This kind of thing is not paid much attention to, and it doesn't mean that the Ferrari team is not even aware of Zhang Yifei's record. The Ferrari team still does it, but they don't value the drivers themselves.

The reason is very simple, the Ferrari team doesn't like it.

Just like when Sir Williams discussed Zhang Yifei and Montoya before, he said that if he chose again, he would still choose Montoya without hesitation.

Because of the status and strength of Williams' team, there is no need to bet on those unknown things.

This sentence still applies to Ferrari team, and it can even be even more exaggerated. Even if they have known strength and potential, they still look down on it. They will focus on it unless they get results and show strong strength.

After all, in the Ferrari team, Schumacher, the strongest driver in the f1 paddock, and even Barrichello, who can be regarded as the second strongest driver in front of him.

It can be said that the strongest drivers are already in the camp, so they need to pay attention to something, let alone consider any new drivers.

But I have to say that Zhang Yifei's performance is indeed beyond everyone's expectations. Even the Ferrari team, which does not pay much attention to new drivers, began to increase Zhang Yifei's attention, so Ross Brown's question was asked.

"As a newcomer, he is not weak, but is Barrichello even worse than a newcomer?"

Jean Todd is still unwilling to accept the reality that Barrichello lost to Zhang Yifei. This is indeed a difficult thing for people to believe, otherwise the whole audience would not be angry on the track.

"It's not that bad, it's because the home track puts too much pressure on Barrichello, and it's normal to have some unstable factors in performance. And then again, Barrichello's performance is not bad. The mistake just now is more caused by bumps in the track."

"If you have to find a reason, you will perform better and more stably."

When Ross Brown said this, his tone revealed a hint of appreciation. When he partnered with Schumacher, it was the time of Senna, and Schumacher was just a fledgling newcomer.

But no one expected that Schumacher showed his strength to challenge Senna in just one year, and even defended his world champion for two consecutive times.

Therefore, newcomers are not the endorsement of the weak, and the F1 event is also a sports competition that depends on performance. A failure does not represent anything.

Listening to Ross Brown's persuasion, Jean Todd suppressed his inner dissatisfaction. This is also the current situation of the Ferrari team, with extremely strong management. The second team like Barrichello is really not very high.

"It depends on Schumacher's performance now."

Jean Todd turned his attention to the display again. As Barrichello was surpassed by Zhang Yifei, Schumacher was the only one left in the Ferrari team in the first three positions.

Compared with the previous two races, Schumacher took the lead and Barrichello followed closely behind. Today, the Ferrari team's performance was undoubtedly much worse.

Two world-class drivers were defeated by two newcomers who only entered the f1 paddock this year, which was simply unimaginable in the past.

However, for Ferrari, Schumacher is on the court, so hope is. No matter how much the German driver is behind, as long as he does not see the black and white grid flag waving at the end of the game, there is still a chance to catch up.

This is Schumacher's ability and the charm of the peak Schumacher!

The Ferrari team repair station returned to peace, and the hustle and bustle on the track still did not stop. Zhang Yifei's overtaking victory was like a few trampling on the pride of Brazilian fans. They could not calm down in a short period of time.

Faced with the hustle and bustle of the track, the commentator Gonzalez had to relieve: "It is indeed beyond our expectations that Barrichello was surpassed, but I believe this is just a temporary backward. He will prove himself in the next race, and the Brazilian drivers will defend the glory of the Interlagers track!"

In any case, at such a critical moment, you cannot blame Barrichello too much because you are overtaken.

Because the competition is nearly thirty laps left, it is far from the time to make a conclusion. Barrichello was surpassed by Zhang Yifei, but he is still ranked fourth, which is a very good result.

Moreover, the remaining schedule is long enough, and Barrichello has a chance to catch up and overtake. Even if Barrichello can't hear it, he can feel it from the audience's actions.

At home track, you must give enough support to the home drivers, otherwise what is the home court?

Perhaps it was Gonzalez's appeal, and the dissatisfaction and abuse on the track instantly subsided a lot, and gradually turned into cheering and encouragement. After all, this place is still Brazil's home court.

Zhang Yifei on the track was also extremely excited after surpassing Barrichello. This was the first time he surpassed an active top F1 driver after entering the F1 paddock.

But Zhang Yifei didn't understand why Cosel could observe Barrichello's flaws, because this was really too obvious. Barrichello could not make it in circles, right?

So he did not suppress his inner curiosity and asked Cosel through the convoy's voice. On the other hand, Cosel quickly gave him the answer.

"When you surpassed Hydefield before, Barrichello was in a double-combined turn. In order to distance yourself from your car, he took another extreme route, and it happened to be a bumpy section on that route. It was difficult to control the brake force when it was shaken in an instant."

"If the brake is lighter, it will rush out of the track, and the consequence of heavy is to lock the tires. So Barrichello will step on it to ensure that the car can pass the corner smoothly. But later you didn't put enough pressure on him, so he didn't choose to take the extreme route to pass the corner."

When Zhang Yifei heard this, he understood that when he caught up and prepared to overtake, Barrichello felt the pressure again, so he took the extreme detour again.

He still habitually stepped on the brakes, and this time he entered the corner faster, which led to a little heavier than the conventional brakes, so the tire locked phenomenon occurred, giving himself the chance to overtake.

I really didn't expect that Kossell could notice and remember that such mistakes that had been made dozens of laps ago were really impressed by Zhang Yifei.

"Cosell, it turns out that ginger is still so spicy."

Zhang Yifei couldn't help but flatter in the convoy's voice. Kossel's instructions today were so important and accurate.

"Don't talk nonsense, focus on Schumacher in front, he is your biggest opponent."

Cosel's words instantly awakened Zhang Yifei. After surpassing Barrichello, the driver in front of him was Schumacher, who also came from Ferrari team.

Others don’t know, but Zhang Yifei knew very well that this was a driver who was later born to be a god.

Is it finally my turn to challenge the car god?
