"Shumi, speed up and get the fastest lap speed!"

In the Ferrari repair station, Todd finally issued a clear convoy order to Schumacher.

In the past, the Ferrari strategy group could basically look down on all living beings with a high attitude. Because the combination of Schumacher and Barrichello was too strong, it simply didn't give other teams a sense of survival.

But in this qualifying match, Todd finally felt a little pressure. This pressure is not how strong the opponent is. Because no matter how fast he runs, he can win one or two sub-station championships, he is not Schumacher's opponent throughout the season.

What really made Todd feel pressure was an inexplicable hidden danger, because the opponent Schumacher was facing this time was too young.

Needless to say, Zhang Yifei and Montoya are newcomers who have just entered the F1 paddock this year. Although Kimi Raikkonen is not a newcomer, this is only his second professional season and he is still terrifyingly young.

Schumacher is very strong and at his peak, but no driver can reach the peak forever. According to the growth rate of these newcomers, he may threaten the Ferrari team next year, not to mention the year afterwards.

Young represents potential, and youth represents the future. Todd has always understood this truth, but the newcomer he did not expect would grow so quickly.

"Montoya, Ralph, do you want to lose another Chinese boy?"

Sir Williams also shouted to the microphone, he was really a little anxious now.

Before the race, he firmly believed that Zhang Yifei, who returned to the track, could not be Montoya's opponent.

This Chinese newcomer is already in a good state to be able to finish the Austrian Grand Prix safely. After all, the A1 track is a relatively dangerous track.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yifei showed was a bit beyond imagination, and he couldn't tell that he was a new driver who returned to the track.

The only ones that have brought this shock to Sir Williams in recent years are Villeneuve in 1997 and Schumacher who returned to the track in 1999.

Both of these drivers have stood on the highest podium and won the world championship title. Compared to them, Zhang Yifei is still a pure newcomer. Does he really have the potential to become a champion?

A F1 World Champion from China?

Thinking of this title, Sir Williams had an indescribable strange feeling, and then wiped the idea out of his mind, because it was too terrifying. Consider some more realistic issues, such as letting Montoya or Ralph Schumacher run faster and get pole position!

No matter what, Williams can't beat a newcomer who has nine races away from the track, right?

Not only did Williams think so, but now the teams with a little bit of strength on the track have made their drivers launch the final sprint.

Because Zhang Yifei's fastest lap gave them the illusion that even Chinese kids who have been off the season can do it, we can do it!

In the last few laps, all drivers started to "suffer" to start in the front row. The lap ranking, which was already very tight, is now ranked in 0.001 seconds.

Maybe even a slight mistake in slashing your toes can make your ranking drop one.

You should know that many times, when the last few games of the season are basically a foregone conclusion, many hopeless teams are relaxed and do not explode like today.

I can only say that after Zhang Yifei returns to the F1 track, he can indeed trigger a chemical reaction. There are many drivers who want to win him, but there are also many drivers who don’t want to lose to him!

"Schumacher! Schumacher once again demonstrated the strength of the defending champion, and once again regained the fastest lap title with a lap speed of 1 minute, 1 minute, 08 seconds, 580!"

"In the last stop at Monza, he lost to the newcomer Montoya at Ferrari. I believe Schumacher won't make twice. He wants to make a hat trick!"

Facing Brendel's words, Bazel next to him nodded, and could clearly feel Schumacher's seriousness, and even tried his best!

After all, the defeat in the last race actually had a great impact on Schumacher. One was that he officially lost to a newcomer in the track, and the other was that he lost at his home court. He had no face to face the fans who were waving the Ferrari flag in the whole audience.

For defending champion Schumacher, losing to Montoya is already a shame, and he may not want to lose to Zhang Yifei once again.

"It's been the last three minutes of the race. I think there should be no suspense in the pole position. Fei is very strong, but it's a pity that he met the stronger Schumacher. He was able to run the fastest lap beyond the track record in the first stop of returning to the track. I think he is still honored even if he loses!"

Even though he was surpassed by Schumacher, Bazer still gave Zhang Yifei a high evaluation.

Bazel had never commented on Zhang Yifei's competition before, and this was even the first time he saw Zhang Yifei on the track. It can be said that his words had no subjective influence. It was completely Zhang Yifei's performance in the track these days. Bazel's commentator gave respet from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he can run out of this lap, Zhang Yifei is not a loser. He has done well enough.

"Although you lose, you are still honored? Bazel, you said this too early, Fei has not lost yet!"

"What?"

Bazel looked at Brendel in surprise, but soon he reacted and focused his attention on the lap ranking delivered by the director!

"Dear viewers at the scene, I am sorry for my arbitrary commentary before. Fei ran a lap of 1 minute 08 seconds 577 with more than one minute left in the game. With a slight advantage of 0.003 seconds, he once again surpassed Schumacher and became the fastest lap in the Austrian qualifying round!"

"The driver is not a good person even though he loses. He will become the biggest winner in the qualifying competition!"

When Bazer said this, the scene was in full bloom.

No matter how good Zhang Yifei performed before, he has never really ranked first.

Many times, there is a huge difference between the first and second, because there is only one winner in competitive sports, and the others are losers.

With less than three minutes left, Zhang Yifei made his last counterattack, and this target was Schumacher's fastest lap. Now there is still the last minute left in the race. Can any driver create such an amazing extreme lead with Zhang Yifei?

"Only one minute left, do you think Schumacher will lead again?"

"I don't know, but it's not without hope. Shumi is a rider who creates miracles, or he is a miracle in himself!"

"I think it's hard, one minute is not enough."

"Flying is too strong. I never imagined that a Chinese driver could be so strong and could still lead Schumacher in the last moment."

"He deserves this pole position for crazy Chinese flying."

The audience off the court discussed and focused their attention on the track.

Another advantage of the plateau environment of the Austrian A1 track is that the terrain of the stands is higher. The entire track can be seen at a glance, and the viewing experience is better.

So they could see more clearly that the red Ferrari racing car and the blue and white Williams racing car were chasing at a crazy speed in the last time, trying to surpass Zhang Yifei's speed record again.

"Look! Montoya is out of the track!"

A spectator suddenly exclaimed. When Montoya was taking a sharp turn down the slope, because of the speed of the car, even if the brakes were stomped to death, the black marks of two tires rubbing on the track were left on the track, and they could not slow down and stopped, and rushed directly to the grass next to the track.

Moreover, because the layout of the A1 track is relatively small, many sections of the buffer zone are not enough, and a few meters later it is the tire wall or cement protective wall of the track. As early as the first Grand Prix held, there was a death accident by American drivers in the first Grand Prix.

This is why, the A1 track is called one of the most dangerous tracks.

Fortunately, thanks to the good mechanical performance of Williams racing and the drivers on the track, they all adjusted the chassis height at an extremely low level, and used the brakes and the friction brought by the bottoming up along the way, Montoya stopped half a meter away from the cement protective wall, which made many viewers sweat!

"Members of the car crew, cooperate with the safety car and the trailer to help Montoya!"

After seeing this scene, Sir Williams immediately issued an order to "save" Montoya, and the expression on his face was very worried.

Although he is a very "ruthless" boss, he is not harsh in other aspects except for his performance. He can even be said to be very tolerant and will find ways to meet all the needs of the driver.

This is a pure team operator, without any emotional factors. If you give me good results, I will give you what you want, including money, treatment, stronger and more competitive racing cars, and even teammates!

Williams' team began to describe it, but this was just the beginning. In the final sprint stage, there were also cars rushing out of the track one after another.

On the one hand, I want to run the fastest lap speed, which leads to too fast speed. On the other hand, I run to this moment. The tire grip and brake force are actually in the downward stage. I can’t stop when I encounter a high-speed downhill!

30 seconds! 15 seconds! 5 seconds!

The timer on the track, the red numbers kept beating, announcing that the race time was about to be explained.

When the last number jumped to zero, the audience looked at the display screen, wanting to see if Schumacher had regained his fastest lap speed in the last lap.
Chapter completed!
