Zhang Yifei's entry into the station and changing tires gave Montoya a chance to breathe a sigh of relief. He wanted to take advantage of these few seconds to get rid of the Chinese boy to the greatest extent, otherwise he would always have to pay attention to the threats behind him.

On the other hand, Prost team veteran Alessi once again surpassed another veteran, Verstappen from Toyota team, and came from the eighth pick to the seventh place, only one step away from the points zone.

Perhaps this result is nothing for top drivers on the track, but for mid- and lower-level drivers, especially for such "oldering" drivers on the verge of retirement, every improvement is not easy.

Compared to other teams who often give instructions, Cosell doesn't like to talk much. Now the boss Prost is not at the repair station to test the new racing car, and the team's radio is on the verge of silence.

So Alessi didn't know that Zhang Yifei had already surpassed unstoppable in the back row. He was still trying his best to contribute his strength to the Prost team.

The sixth-ranked driver is Kimi Raikkonen from McLaren. He performed well in the Japanese Grand Prix, ranked eighth in the qualifying round, and entered the points zone step by step.

Originally, Kimi Raikkonen planned to continue sprinting forward, but at this moment, in front of him was Cooterhard, who also came from McLaren. Now the schedule is just one-third, and there are strong opponents from the Big Three teams in front. It is not the wisest choice to kill each other too early, so Kimi Raikkonen suspended his offensive.

Since Coothard lost the chance to compete for the championship at the US Grand Prix, his condition has become a little decadent. In the past, he could rush into the top three and compete with Schumacher at the same level. This Suzuka Track Practice Tournament and Qualifying Tournament were basically hovering over the fifth and sixth place.

This season in history was also the last peak of Cooterhard. From then on, he began to go downhill in his career and entered the period of the complete rule of the Ferrari Dynasty. Schumacherga Barrichello's "red flowers and green leaves" combination was almost invincible.

Until Kimi Raikkonen had a blister in 2003, in addition to causing some threat, the Ferrari team completed absolute domination again in 2004. The rise of the leader Alonso was the rise of the Ferrari dynasty with two F1 world championship titles.

The fourth driver is Villeneuve of the British and American teams, the Grand Slam king. At this moment, the racing state is also in a "stay-sky" situation.

The British and American teams have been the last time he can maintain his dignity as king in the past two years. In a few years, they will be completely dismantled and wait for retirement.

It's not that suitable to say it's a flash in the pan and the meteor falls. After all, he has a place in the top drivers in F1, and has a stable place.

I can only say that Villeneuve's debut was too amazing, his expectations were too high, and his fall was too sudden, which made many fans a little unacceptable.

Today, Villeneuve was still ranked fourth, and he also relied on one breath. After all, he was the most humiliating driver in the last US Grand Prix. Originally, Zhang Yifei's soft persimmon was the stepping stone in the end.

But once this breath is leaked, it will be the end point of his career. After this year, he will become the most common among F1 drivers like Coothard, and no longer the dazzling king.

"Kutterhard, cooperate with Kimi to launch an attack and take down Villeneuve."

McLaren Racing Chairman Dennis issued an order. Now Villeneuve has been torn off the fig leaf by Zhang Yifei. He is no longer the powerful Grand Slam driver. Two McLaren drivers launched an attack and will definitely pull him off.

"clear."

Kurthard and Kimi Raikkonen responded with a message that they had been following Villeneuve for two laps, and even Kimi Raikkonen's offensive slowed down. If they did not overtake at this time, it would delay the pace of the entire McLaren team.

So even if Dennis doesn't issue an overtaking order, Coothard can no longer help it, otherwise he will have to face the "same-school-school-destroying".

After the Suzuka Track passes corner 14, there will be a long straight and an ultra-high speed curve. Basically, this long straight and high speed curve can be maintained at a speed of about 280km/h.

Now the two drivers of McLaren team are directly attacking on this long straight road, one left and one right. The method is very simple, that is, to take advantage of the absolute performance advantages of McLaren racing and eat British and American racing on the straight road, so that Villeneuve can feel what despair is!

As the most theoretical car of today's season, as long as there is no malfunction, McLaren's straight speed is no better than that. Not to mention the mid- and downstream earth groups such as British and American racing, even if Ferrari racing comes, straight-line acceleration cannot stand McLaren.

Faced with the left and right attacks of two McLaren cars, Villeneuve's expression was very serious. He had already imagined this scene when he knew that Coothard and Kimi Raikkonen were behind his car.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the acceleration of McLaren racers on the straight was like this. Almost instantly, the two race cars came to the rear of their car at the same time and made an overtaking action.

It is impossible to get them off by speed, the only thing you can do is to block one of the cars.

After a momentary judgment, Villeneuve changed lane to the left, blocked Kimi Raikkonen directly, letting Kurthard on the right, allowing him to surpass himself.

Looking at the McLaren racing car beside him whistling by, Villeneuve felt a sense of regret in his heart! Williamson, who used to be in the Big Three team, even if he didn't drive a Mars rover, at least he had the ability to fight against a strong racing car.

Nowadays, British and American racing cars are an old tractor, and they have no way to suppress the speed of McLaren racing. If God gives him another chance to choose, Villeneuve will no longer be attracted by British and American Tobacco's transfer fee, and he will make up this bad money!

After all, a driver's contract is about two years, but as long as you maintain a good condition, you can have a peak period of ten years. Giving up an eight-year future for two years of high salary is definitely not a cost-effective business.

Think about Schumacher step by step and eventually rose to the Ferrari team, but he fell into the British and American teams!

Facing Villeneuve's choice to block the car, Kimi Raikkonen was not very surprised. After all, the F1 paddock is a place with strong self-esteem and belief. In order not to let the newcomer Schumacher overtake, Senna was running for life. Even if Villeneuve had to lose one, he would naturally choose the older and more famous Kuthard instead of the newcomer Kimi.

However, McLaren's offensive did not stop because of this. The result they wanted was not that Coothard was enough to surpass him, but that both drivers were surpassing him!

British and American drivers have never been on the McLaren team's opponent list!

So after Coothard took the lead, he turned the line-to-line barrier and started to press Villeneuve, creating opportunities for Kimi Raikkonen behind him. This year, Coothard's ranking has been fixed, and his annual runner-up title has also been stable. The number of points more or less points in total is not very meaningful to him.

On the contrary, letting Kimi Raikkonen emerge and not being dumped by this year's new players is the future plan for the team.

Unlike other team No. 1 and 2 drivers, the enemy's relationship is greater than that of teammates. Kurthard's previous relationship with Mika Hakkinen was actually very good. In order to help his teammate win the championship, he even flew over Schumacher's front wheel.

Later, with the retirement of Mika Hakkinen, the newcomer Kimi Raikkonen was introduced to McLaren team with Finland hopes, and Kurthard was upgraded from the previous No. 2 driver to the No. 1 driver.

There is such a relationship. In fact, Kurthard and Kimi Raikkonen get along better than ordinary team newcomers. Thinking about the way Heidfield and Alessi get along, you can understand how difficult it is for the two of them to fight together.

And in addition to these, without touching his deep interests, Coothard was even willing to make some sacrifices to help Kimi. He had been blocking the car before, but now he is nothing more than doing it again.

With Kurthard's car blocking, Kimi Raikkonen could launch an unscrupulous attack. At this time, Villeneuve also completely gave up the pursuit of Kurthard and focused on suppressing Kimi Raikkonen, allowing Alessi, who was even behind, to catch up.

Villeneuve still has strength, but the racing performance factors and his poor condition eventually led to a decline in his performance. However, in the fight between the three, he still showed the normal level of a Grand Slam driver. After a lap, Kimi Raikkonen was still blocked by the driver.

And more importantly, Alessi, who caught up, was not willing to be lonely and launched an attack on Kimi. The French veteran was preparing to sprint forward one more, at least to ensure that there was a Prost driver in the points zone.

This situation of mutual dragging has made the McLaren strategy team anxious. They originally wanted to surpass Villeneuve by cooperating and then throw him away and sprint towards the front row.

As a result, I didn't expect that the zombie was here, and I was even chased by the drivers behind me, gradually losing my lead.

McLaren Chairman Dennis, who has always been tolerant of Kimi, couldn't help but urge: "Kimi! Go ahead quickly and don't miss the opportunity!"

Hearing Dennis' urging, Kimi Raikkonen, who had always been as calm as ice, had a look of anxiety on his face. And Kuthard, in the front row, also began to feel impatient in his heart. After all, he watched the first tier of the top three and he was doing the wingman mission here.

Without pressure on grades, it does not mean that you have no desire for grades. You can fight for a podium or even a champion. No driver will think it is too much.
