480 Beyond the Chariot God (Chapter 3)

"The Chinese rookie actually completed a co-curve with Schumacher?"

In the Minardi pit station, Madu opened his mouth wide and almost shocked his chin.

Schumacher is currently the strongest driver in the F1 track. Can Zhang Yifei be evenly matched with him?

"At the beginning, President Ghosn only gave Fei a place to develop drivers, which would definitely become one of his most failed deals!"

Renault manager Briatoli couldn't help but complain.

Briatoli is one of the top professional managers in the F1 paddock. It was he who discovered Schumacher in the Benetton team.

Then, with the acquisition of the Bennetton team by Renault Group, Briatoli now becomes the manager of the Renault team, and also serves as the president of the racing department, with part of the team's shares.

In a sense, he has advanced from the stage of professional manager to the level of shareholder boss.

Later, he even tapped the potential of "Brother" Alonso and created two world superstar-level F1 drivers in his hands.

It is obvious that Briatoli saw Zhang Yifei's potential. There are only people who can control Schumacher, but not many. However, the new player can control Schumacher in a 50-5 game at the moment, but there is currently no one, only Zhang Yifei has done it.

Ghosn did not discover this potential at the beginning, and only gave a place to develop drivers. No wonder the Chinese boy refused and would rather go to the Prost team that was about to go bankrupt. Ghosn really looked down on people a little.

"I shouldn't have accepted the conditions of the Arrows team at the beginning, otherwise Yifeijun would be a Toyota driver."

When Toyota Motors Chairman Miyato Toshida saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, compared to Renault, Toyota has the biggest first-mover advantage. As long as the F1 contract was proposed at that time, even if it was just a test driver, Zhang Yifei would probably agree.

After all, for Zhang Yifei, he is a driver trained by Toyota Youth Training Camp, and participating in the Renault Formula in the early stage was also the greatest help given by Toyota team. People must remember to be grateful.

As a result, due to the additional conditions of the Flying Arrow shareholders, Toyota's fleet withdrew from the technical support team and even let go of two team leaders, Ukyo Yamamoto and Junko Takeda.

If they were all in Toyota, they would be themselves who would enjoy all kinds of amazement and cheer now.

But then again, Toyota is the most promising, but also the most unlikely. Because in an unknown newcomer, compared to acquiring a complete F1 team, as long as your mind is fine, you will definitely choose the latter.

So now, no matter how much you regret it, it is just a hindsight.

Although the major teams lamented, Zhang Yifei actually returned to the situation behind from side to side after the Senna bend.

The reason is that he did not seize Schumacher's route. Once he entered the straight, with the advantages of racing performance, Schumacher could still easily overtake Zhang Yifei.

Unless Zhang Yifei comes to Schumacher completely, he can suppress Schumacher behind by constantly blocking the car.

Seeing that the advantage that had finally come out on the curve was easily tied by Schumacher on the straight, the members of the Prost team clenched their fists and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

This is the sadness of small teams. Without top-level racing cars with excellent performance, it is difficult to get good results even if they meet excellent drivers. And what's more serious is that once excellent drivers emerge, they will be poached by the big team, resulting in even less competitiveness.

Many times reality is so cruel. Even if you understand it in your heart, there is no good solution. Unless this team retains power drivers and develops top-level performance cars for several consecutive years, you will have the opportunity to sprint to the Big Three.

For example, Renault in the next few years, Red Bull in the future, etc.

Of course, the rise of these fleets is also related to the powerful automobile manufacturers behind them. Private fleets often feel desperate, even the three giants like Williamson are no exception.

Zhang Yifei watched the red Ferrari car beside him gradually leading, and directly turned on the engine speed limit, and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom with one kick. If the f1 was not in the middle of the engine, Zhang Yifei's kick would feel like he would step on the accelerator into the engine.

But this is the upper limit of Prost racing, and the acceleration performance will not change with Zhang Yifei's will. And Schumacher must have done the same move, and he would not give Zhang Yifei the chance to be on the straight road with him.

Are you going to be forced into a car again? I'm not willing to give up!

Zhang Yifei shouted in his heart that he used Montoya's car blocking to get this opportunity to overtake.

If it does not exceed the tournament, the schedule will reach the 50 laps mark, and the third time to enter the station and change tires will also come.

The Prost technician team performed well twice before entering the station to change tires, and the speed was not weaker than that of the Ferrari team, so that Zhang Yifei was not pulled away from the stoppage time.

However, you cannot pin your hopes on super-level performance. Moreover, the last time you enter the station, you will be replaced with light oil and super soft tires, and everyone will enter the stage of competition with extreme speed. At that time, Montoya will probably not focus on blocking the car, and will run wildly into his fastest lap speed.

Because at this time, the car is blocked, and other opponents who replace with super soft tires and light oil will easily catch up. At that time, the clams and cranes will compete and the fisherman will benefit.

Therefore, in the final stage of the F1 event, as long as it is a three-stage tactic, the fastest lap will basically explode in the second half, with few exceptions.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei's best opportunity, and it may be the only opportunity. He was almost able to complete the "God Killing" and surpass the insurmountable peak in his heart. Could it be that he would fail before the finish line?

"Fly, full throttle, ride the shoulders, and if you don't exceed it, just look at the No. 3 Kurva bend in front."

Cosel's roar came from the headphones. He finally couldn't maintain his calm image and shouted at Zhang Yifei.

Because Zhang Yifei's chance to overtake is rare, Cosell also knew that if he did not go overturn No. 3, he would usher in a long straight road. At this time, the weak Prost Racing car would have no chance to overtake and would be completely thrown away by Schumacher.

Right or wrong, success or failure, this may be the last chance on the Interlagers track.

Hearing Cosel's words, Zhang Yifei did not hesitate at all, and pressed the accelerator pedal to the bottom with his right foot. Even when he reached the brake point, Zhang Yifei did not release his accelerator. He adopted the extremely late braking method and entered the corner at the fastest speed.

Originally, Schumacher was probably leading Zhang Yifei, but in front of the extreme late brake, the gap was instantly smoothed out.

Zhang Yifei rode directly on the inner shoulder, and the whole car quickly surpassed Schumacher. However, Zhang Yifei's speed was basically impossible to go out of the corner, and it was more like a shell, rushing out of the corner straight, and there was no need to even hit the steering wheel.

If you choose to slow down and turn at this moment, the previous scene of Senna bend will be staged again. Schumacher can use better routes to accelerate and overtake by going out of the corner. The next long straight is purely competing for racing performance, and Zhang Yifei has no hope of catching up.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei did not choose to force the cornering, but slowed down slightly and kept passing through the cornering center at high speed. When Schumacher wanted to pass the cornering center tangent, he directly braked and stepped on the slowdown, forcibly blocked in front of Schumacher, and successfully slowed down and cornered.

This sudden brake directly locked Zhang Yifei's js53 racing tires, and a stream of rubber appeared on the ground, similar to the blue smoke that appeared after burning the tires. Moreover, not only Zhang Yifei did this, Schumacher behind him could only brake heavily in the face of the sudden deceleration of the car blocking vehicle to avoid rear-end collision.

Are Chinese newcomers looking for death?

As he braked suddenly, Schumacher finally couldn't help but curse with a angrily voice.

Zhang Yifei's sudden brakes and slowing down had a malicious intention to rear-end the car. If his reaction was slower, then a few seconds later, the two racing cars might collide together at a speed of more than 200km/h!

You should know that the No. 3 Kurva Bend on the Interlagers Track is a high-speed curve, and the drivers pass by at a speed of about 210km/h in 3 gears. Even if the relative speed is not so exaggerated, there is no serious consequence of the car being destroyed and the death of people, but the situation of the car being destroyed and withdrawing from the race is absolutely inevitable.

Zhang Yifei's behavior is undoubtedly playing with fire!

Schumacher was right. Zhang Yifei's behavior was indeed playing with fire!

But Zhang Yifei dared not play with anyone in this fire, only Schumacher has the qualification to make him take such a risky move.

Because Zhang Yifei believes in Schumacher's skills and strength, a driver must be selected in the f1 paddock. In the face of such sudden sudden brakes, Schumacher's chances of doing it must be the highest.

So Zhang Yifei was betting that Schumacher could react and brake and would not hit the back of his car!

This kind of gambling method is surprisingly risky. If there is a choice, Zhang Yifei doesn’t want to use this kind of game to get rid of it, so he will overtake by "died together".

But he had no choice. If he didn't use this method, Zhang Yifei really couldn't think of how he could surpass Schumacher, who still has the advantage of racing performance.

The only advantage he may face Schumacher is that he is not afraid of wearing shoes barefoot. After all, Zhang Yifei has no hope of winning the championship, and it doesn’t have much impact on withdrawing from the competition without points. Being able to catch up with Schumacher and fight him is already a highlight moment.

But Schumacher will not miss any points in the game, because this will definitely determine whether he can defend the world championship for the second time and achieve the four-championship.
