632 Unstoppable
Zhang Yifei's rapid overtaking was beyond the expectations of everyone on the scene. Even the audience did not expect that it would be so effortless.
"It's too fast, it's really too fast. I didn't even react to what happened just now. Zhang Yifei had already gone to the front."
"Damn, is Zhang Yifei so strong now? I feel that the driver at the end is no longer his opponent."
"Of course he is so strong. With two consecutive championships in the sub-stations and 500 Indy Kings, which newcomer can compare to Zhang Yifei?"
"The driver of the Imperial Demon King level, the next generation king, Lord Zhang Yifei, is the strongest driver!"
"Death will harvest the battlefield, and the drivers ahead are only death knells!"
Although it only surpassed the last driver, the atmosphere on the track has an indescribable fanaticism.
There may be a tendency to reverse the extreme. In the past, in European and American games, Zhang Yifei was suppressed by the home audience. Now it is his turn to "half-home" territory. These Zhang Yifei's supporters can finally release themselves to praise Zhang Yifei's record!
"Montoya, Zhang Yifei has surpassed Panis, you need to speed up."
Sir Williams' voice, delivered to Montoya's ears, told him the current situation on the track.
"So fast?"
Montoya was a little nervous about this news. You must know that he and Zhang Yifei started at the maintenance station, and the gap was 10 seconds.
But he surpassed the last driver Panis before 7 seconds. As a result, Zhang Yifei surpassed him now, which means that the gap between the two sides has been shortened by 3 seconds!
The four-lap schedule is shortened by 3 seconds, which is not an exaggerated number. However, in the duel of experts, a slight difference will determine the outcome. Montoya did not expect that Zhang Yifei would catch up so quickly.
The Chinese boy is a powerful opponent, and Williams has reached a consensus on this. If he catches up too early and Montoya is forced to fall into a fight with Zhang Yifei, it will not be good news for Williams.
After all, Williams' performance in the Big Three teams this year is the last, and it is 22 points away from the second-ranked McLaren team.
Therefore, Williams needs more points, and it is best for Montoya to create a miracle and stand on the podium, so that Williams can retain its current advertising sponsors and influence.
Without any hesitation, Montoya stepped on the accelerator and began to attack Bernordi of Toyota's team in front. He must surpass his opponent in the shortest time, otherwise he will be caught up by Zhang Yifei behind him.
In fact, at this moment, there was something in Montoya's heart that he didn't want to admit, that was, Montoya didn't want to face Zhang Yifei.
Whether it is fear or rational interests, at least Montoya no longer had the courage to fight Zhang Yifei at the time, or even to win even if he could crash the car.
Bernoldi is very weak. Basically, except for Marquis, who was the slowest on the track, he is the slowest on the track.
With Montoya's current strength and skills, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that he crushes Bernordi. After several bends, he easily surpassed his opponent and separated two drivers from Zhang Yifei.
"Montoya is also very strong. She surpassed three opponents in five laps, and she was catching up and overtaking. She is really worthy of being the King of Indy."
Ito Yuzuo also introduced Montoya's overtaking offensive on the track in an admirable tone.
To be honest, Montoya surpassed the three drivers in the back row in just five laps schedule, which was no less than Zhang Yifei's crazy pursuit. In terms of value alone, it also surpassed Alessi's previous three opponents. After all, the starting point of Suzuka Track has the advantage of downhill, and this has always been the best place to start and overtake.
"I have never questioned Montoya's strength. He has the potential to become a superstar in the car world."
Brendel also agreed and said that if Montoya's performance this season is aside from losing to Zhang Yifei, it can definitely be described as the word "stunning".
Even if he loses to Zhang Yifei, he will at least have the power to fight. Because Montoya is not losing in the potential and the upper limit, but his Indy-style driving skills are too rough. If he can be more delicate and pay more attention to his own route, rather than fighting hard, he will have a lot of room for improvement in the future.
"Montoya is not giving up either. He wants to prove the ability to create miracles. Not only Chinese boys have it, but he also has it."
Seeing Montoya chasing so crazy, McLaren team chairman Dennis said, even at the team repair station, he could feel Montoya's unyielding heart.
"Any driver has the ambition to reach the top, especially if he has the ability, so Montoya will not admit defeat."
Manager Whitmarsh also agreed.
The departure of the repair station is a great disadvantage, but in the final battle, when almost all rankings have been determined, this may instead have an advantage.
That is, the drivers ranked last can show themselves and show their operations to the fullest.
In a sense, the top rankings of the front row drivers are not the focus of the media and the audience, because there is no suspense in their rankings. On the contrary, many viewers are curious about how they can counterattack in the end.
"I hope Kimi can join this newcomer show today."
Dennis mentioned Kimi Raikkonen, but in fact, he still liked this Finnish boy very much.
However, the performance of the Finnish boy in the past year has put Dennis, as the chairman of the team, under a lot of pressure.
McLaren team can accept new players and cultivate potential stocks, but they must be truly talented drivers and show their absolute potential. Otherwise, the Big Three teams will not give drivers a year after year to slowly improve.
At the end of the year, Dennis needed Kimi Raikkonen to take out something and ask him to report to the group management, and finally saved the young Finnish iceman and gave him another year to prove himself.
Now on the track, Montoya and Zhang Yifei performed very well, and Kimi Raikkonen must have reached this level. Otherwise, even if he performs well, he will only seem to be not outstanding enough against the other side.
"Yes, I always believe in Kimi and Hakinen's vision. The successor from the racing country will not be much worse!"
Whitmarsh said with confidence that the Finnish boy's upper limit and grades are definitely more than that, and he will definitely perform better in his future career!
The crazy chase on the track continued. After surpassing the British and American team Pannis, Zhang Yifei rose up to chase Jenson Barton from Renault's team ahead.
In the future of the F1 world champion this year, Kimi Raikkonen is not only the one who performs rubbish in the newcomer stage, but also the "head brother" Alonso, and Jason Patton, the 2009 F1 world champion driver, are not much better at this moment.
If the Iceman Kimi Raikkonen style is unique, then Alonso is a bit like Senna, with a hot style. As for Jenson Patton, he prefers Prost's style.
You can't tell how strong and impressive he performed on the track, but his performance in every battle is terrible. And the most important thing is that he has no shortcomings in all aspects. The faster the car can be, he can run as fast as he can.
So later with the advent of the Renault era, Jason Patton's performance began to make breakthroughs and eventually reached the peak.
Of course, this is all the next thing. The Renault team is a new army that has just entered the F1 paddock and has not yet played the R&D advantages of the Renault-Nissan League. With Jason Patton's conservative and stable style, it will not be too crazy to stop Zhang Yifei, so he quickly passed by easily.
Seeing that Jason Patton did not make any decent obstacles, the expression on Renault manager Briatoli's face was complicated.
In fact, he did not expect too much from Jenson Patton. After all, this is a driver who gave way to Montoya by Williams. If he is strong, he will not be robbed of his official driver's position by the "newcomer" Montoya.
But this guy has performed a lot after a year. He said that his skills are not good, and he has no shortcomings on the track, and his basic skills are sometimes like textbooks.
I said that my mentality is not good, I was kicked by Williams once, and I got so good at running this year, and I didn’t see any signs of Jason Patton’s mentality being nervous or exploded, and I was even more calm than the team strategy group.
But for some reason, this guy has never been able to improve his grades on the track, and he always feels that he lacks an upper limit explosive power.
Jason Patton in history is indeed the least present WDC (F1 world champion), and is even said by Renault manager Briatoli like a stone on the roadside.
There are two metaphors for this roadside stone. One is that Patton is too slow, and the other is that he is as inconspicuous as a roadside stone.
"If Ghosn had a longer vision at the beginning, our new driver this year would not be Jenson Patton, but the Chinese boy who surpassed him would have flew away."
Seeing his drivers so vulnerable, Renault technical director Bob Bell said something unhappy.
I have seen someone with poor vision, but I have never seen a level of Renault Vice President Ghosn. He couldn't see the potential of a driver flying in the Renault Formula?
"President Ghosn's level is too high, and it is impossible to pay special attention to a Chinese newcomer. There are countless newcomers in the history of f1, and not everyone can reach the height of a Chinese boy. It can only be said that this is God's will."
Briatoli is a management businessman, so he is naturally not as simple and crude as the technical Bell thinking.
Maybe many people are laughing at Ghosn for not having a vision at the beginning, but in fact, Ghosn looks down on Zhang Yifei, it is inevitable that something will happen. The levels of the two are too different. Not to mention the primary driver of Formula One, even Formula One drivers may not be able to talk to Ghosn.
I can only say that the Renault team's structure is destined this year. If you want to improve, it depends on the operation after the end of the season.
While Briatoli and Bell were talking to each other, Zhang Yifei surpassed the Toyota team Bernordi one after another, using an unstoppable momentum, killing gods and Buddhas!
