As the saying goes, Zhang Yifei came from the maintenance channel all the way, and his momentum had already reached its peak. Trulli had just been surpassed by Montoya, and his mentality would be affected no matter what.

With one's rise and the other's decline, it is really difficult for Trulli to defend Zhang Yifei head-on.

In a sense, Montoya also acted as Zhang Yifei's pioneer in this competition. He basically took the lead first, and then Zhang Yifei launched a second charge.

The arena is like a battlefield, and the opponents were defeated for a while, and the difficulty of Zhang Yifei's overtaking was naturally reduced. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Yifei can continue to narrow the distance with Montoya, and he does have the advantage of the latecomer.

Of course, all this is based on strength. If it were a rookie driver who could not even catch up with the gap of 10 seconds of stopping the station, there is no such thing as getting a bargain. Stay honestly behind and eat the exhaust!

Eddie Jordan, founder and manager of the Jordan team, saw Zhang Yifei approaching towards Trulli, subconsciously placed his hand on the call button, ready to issue a warning and reminder.

But in the end he still didn't press the red call button, letting everything be decided by Trulli.

"Boss, are you trying to say something to Truly?"

John Putter, CEO of Jordan Motors next to him, saw his boss's actions and asked.

"Forget it, there is no need to say it."

Eddie Jordan shook his head.

Like Prost, he also debuted as a driver and eventually transformed into a f1 team.

However, compared with the brilliant results of Prost's four-time champion in F1, Eddie Jordan's achievements in Formula Racing are far inferior, and he has only achieved good results in the F3 level.

But as the owner of a team, Eddie Jordan has nothing to say. He is not as strong and mysterious as Jean Todd and Sir Williams. He is very friendly to the media, journalists, and others, and treats strangers very kindly, which leads to the outside world's personal evaluation of him.

The Jordan team is also a privately operated team, and the funds are very tight. Even in the early days of the team's establishment, Eddie Jordan used his real estate to pay a mortgage on the bank, so that the entire team could be maintained and continued.

And he also reached his peak in 1998 and 1999, ranking third in total points in the season, once squeezed out Williams, one of the Big Three.

In this comparison, Eddie Jordan is much better than Prost in terms of commercial operation. After all, this stubborn old French driver has a strong foundation than the opponent and has the foundation of the ligier team.

As a result, the operation was as fierce as a tiger. The slogan of Lanxi was so loud that it was so loud that it went bankrupt within two years.

Many drivers transform into team owners have a professional flaw, that is, they are more able to empathize with their drivers. In other words, they are not cruel enough!

The reason why Eddie Jordan didn't say anything in the end was that he felt that he should not put too much pressure on Trulli. After all, he was just overtaken by Montoya, and his mentality was definitely not very good at this moment, and the team should not have too strict instructions.

From the perspective of a driver, this is a good boss, and from the perspective of a team, this is not a qualified operator.

The team is about achievements, not influenced by love, and cannot withstand pressure and perform poorly. Then change to a stronger driver. Since you have entered the F1 professional field, you will naturally have to withstand pressure!

If you think too much about the driver's feelings, it will eventually become a kind of indulgence and slackness.

Therefore, Ferrari has always been famous for his tough strategic group instructions, and Sir Williams is even cold-blooded and ruthless in the outside world's evaluation. But it is through their hard-blooded and tough methods that the team can maintain its position as the Big Three without being eliminated by other teams.

CEO John Putter knows the boss's mentality very well. Everyone has different styles and there is nothing to say. It's just that since last year, the performance of Jordan team has begun to decline significantly, and Eddie Jordan needs to make a little change.

During the conversation at the Jordan team repair station, Zhang Yifei had already launched an attack on Trulli. Indeed, compared with the opponents he had surpassed before, Trulli has the qualified strength of a blue-collar F1 driver, and his defense was very beautiful, leaving no good opportunities for Zhang Yifei.

The temptations on several consecutive curves were blocked by Trulli, and the situation was once in a stalemate.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Montoya was also speeding up wildly and attacking the drivers in front. As an old opponent, he deeply knew that Zhang Yifei's strength, Trulli could not stop the Chinese boy, and it was only a matter of time before he was overtaken.

What he had to do was to take this opportunity to get rid of Zhang Yifei. The battle with Zhang Yifei behind was no longer the goal of the Montoya Japanese Grand Prix. What he had to do was to enter the points zone and even climb the podium!

There were no one who started from a repair station and finally won the championship seat in history. Montoya didn’t think he could create such a miracle. So being able to stand on the podium is already a great achievement. Only drivers of the level of Senna and Schumacher have done it before.

Judging the situation is Montoya's deepest understanding during this period. He has realized that he has far underestimated Zhang Yifei. If he wants to defeat the Chinese boy in the future, he must make himself stronger.

After one lap, the schedule came to the eleventh lap, and Zhang Yifei was still blocked by Trulli. Perhaps the attack ahead was too smooth and fans and supporters had too high expectations for him, so they began to get a little anxious in the face of this situation.

"What's going on? Is it impossible to surpass Truly?"

"A lap passed, Truly still stood in front, but the problem is that there are countless powerful opponents in the first film, so it is still too difficult to create a miracle of three consecutive championships."

"If it is not difficult, how can it be called a miracle? Just like a dream that is not ridiculed and has no value to realize. A goal without difficulty is not worthy of being called a miracle!"

"Old Master Yifei is the most powerful driver among the newcomers. Give him some time, and I believe he can surpass him!"

"Montoya used three laps, and Yifeijun ran for a lap. Onissang dry dad (Brother)!"

Actually, almost everyone has no doubts about Zhang Yifei's ability to surpass Truly, but the more time he delays, the harder it is to catch up with the front-row drivers.

After all, the real masters in the f1 paddock are fighting for the championship in a farther front. Zhang Yifei must have a crushing situation to finally have the chance to fight with them.

Can't drag it on any longer.

Zhang Yifei said in his heart, just like the event commentator Ito Yuzuo predicted that the overtaking time he gave himself must be exceeded within one or two laps.

Due to the different lengths of the track, the two laps of the Suzuka track are close to three laps of the other tracks. If Trulli can block two or three laps, then how long will it take to face Cooterhard, Barrichello, and even Schumacher, the strongest driver on the track now?

There is no time left, Trulli must go beyond the shortest time!

The pressing pressure in time made Zhang Yifei's overtaking move even more fierce. He began to take some extreme routes, hoping to break through Truly's defense line in one fell swoop.

However, the racing performance of js53 is not as fast as Williams' "Sabretoothed Tiger". Zhang Yifei must ensure a complete overtaking in the corner and a faster speed. Otherwise, even if he goes out side by side, he may not be able to gain much advantage in the end.

Maybe he was overtaken by Montoya once and was surpassed by two new players this year's season in a row. Trulli felt a little unbeatable to face. His defensive attitude was even tougher than when facing Montoya, and he would never retreat even if he crashed.

This attitude was something Zhang Yifei had never expected before. He thought that Montoya could destroy some of the opponent's momentum after finishing the lead, but he did not expect that the opponent would become stronger and stronger.

But Zhang Yifei is the kind of person who is soft but not hard. Since the other party wants to block it, let Truly feel what it means to overtake more fiercely.

Turn 9 of Suzuka Track is the corner in front of the intersection of the entire track with a figure 8 shape. However, the intersection of Suzuka Track is not as imagined as a crossroad fork, and is on the same plane, but it is rare to use an overpass to stagger the track.

That is to say, after this curve, you will face a long uphill overpass, and then the track will move from clockwise to counterclockwise.

Turn 9 is a right-angle turn, and you have to face uphill when you get out of the turn. Drivers are used to passing through low gears. After all, the lower the gears, the greater the torque and the faster the uphill acceleration.

However, Zhang Yifei did not slow down in advance, but instead stepped on the accelerator and rushed over as if he was about to crash into Montoya. The speed was amazingly fast.

What does the driver want to do?

Truly felt that Zhang Yifei was too fast. You should know that the overpass section ahead was covered with cement protective walls on both sides, and there was no buffer zone at all. If it hit the protective wall, it might fly directly out of the track and face the damage of falling.

This is why drivers will slow down here. In addition to the need to go uphill, there is also a layer of safety considerations.

Soon Trulli understood what Zhang Yifei wanted to do. This guy was as if he was not afraid of death. He penetrated straight from the inner lane, and then rushed towards the protective wall with a little speed.

The entire car maintained a high speed and was getting closer and closer to the protective wall. Just as the moment I was about to hit it, the js53 car turned around the protective wall at a centimeter spacing, and then replenished oil and downshifted to the overpass at a high speed. The whole process can be described as one-time.
