This cheer before the race was like heralding the change of an era. Schumacher, who ruled the Monaco track for eight years, witnessed the audience on this track and affirmation of another driver.

After the pre-race parade, Zhang Yifei did not attend the next driver press conference.

Because I have received the recognition and respect I deserve, if some things are too hyped, they will instead arouse public disgust. After all, I have only run a magical lap in the qualifying competition so far, and I am not the real "King of Monaco".

Senna's "Miracle Loop" in 1988 has Prost as the background board. More importantly, he has successfully reached the top and proved himself at the Monaco Grand Prix in 1987.

After all, Zhang Yifei is still more than one step away and lacks the greatest persuasion, that is, the champion of the Monaco Grand Prix!

In addition, not only Zhang Yifei did not attend the driver's press conference, but also an important driver was also absent, who was Schumacher of Ferrari.

Maybe it was the scene before the race that cheered the whole audience, which touched Schumacher a lot of psychological touch, or maybe it was because he had attended the driver press conference for eight consecutive years on this track, and wanted to change this year.

But no matter what, this is a very surprising thing. Most audience members on the track began to speculate that the real reason Schumacher did not attend was that the Chinese boy put pressure on him.

Indeed, at this moment, the Ferrari fleet repair station can be described as the four words "covered by clouds".

No one of the members of the crew expected that Schumacher, who was once high and enjoyed the praises, would "lose" on this most important track in F1, let the spotlight shine on the Chinese drivers.

Compared with the backwardness in the qualifying competition, this situation makes Ferrari even more unacceptable. After all, you can win the lost game, but if the people are dispersed, the team will be difficult to lead.

Not to mention the Monaco Grand Prix, there are many rich people watching the game, which is also the most important time for Ferrari to sign and sponsor each year.

Ferrari team has a big family and is not as poor as Prost before, and is always short of money on the verge of bankruptcy. However, because of its big family, Ferrari team has a far ahead of the sponsorship costs required for a year, with an annual budget of at least 200 million US dollars.

Therefore, Ferrari needs more sponsors to maintain team spending and maintain the competitiveness of drivers and team development.

If the Chinese boys stole the limelight, there is obviously a risk of losing their sponsors, and they must find a way to get back this game.

Ferrari manager Jean Todd is currently in the team lounge, with all the members of the Ferrari strategy team sitting on the sofa, but his eyes are always on the two Ferrari drivers.

"Shumi, Barrichello, according to the news circulating in the past, the internal struggle of Prost team is very strong. Alonso always wants to challenge the driver Fei's position, and there have been fierce verbal conflicts more than once."

"So they will not work together in the Monaco main competition, so that Shumi can avoid being hit by the front and back. Barrichello, what you have to do is to overtake Gartehad as soon as possible, and don't let Fei and Alonso form a de facto team up."

"At the same time, you made some sacrifices in the early stage. After Barrichello surpassed Cootehard, go to block the car and Alonso. Let Barrichello improve his ranking one more, and then surpass the drivers together, and the victory will eventually belong to us Ferrari!"

The struggle between Zhang Yifei and Alonso is no longer a secret in the F1 paddock in the past six months. It is not surprising that Ferrari team and others have received this news.

Moreover, in previous games, Zhang Yifei and Alonso can indeed be described as zero cooperation. They have never done anything to join forces. Both sides rely on their own abilities and do not ask for help!

This is why Jean Todd would tell the reason why they would not join forces. In the past, the boss Prost looked at him and did not command the two kids to cooperate. Now Prost is not in Monaco, who can let the two of them join forces?

However, in order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Barrichello still needs to overtake Gartehad as quickly as possible, and then work together to press Alonso down. Otherwise, Schumacher would be stuck between the two Prost drivers, which is always a hidden danger.

After listening to Jean Todd's call, the expressions on the faces of the strategy group members were actually not very good-looking.

The reason is very simple. Just half a year ago at the Singapore Grand Prix, the Ferrari strategy team was very disdainful of using this joint attack, and even let Schumacher compete with one or two. Even if they fought against two strong newcomers, Zhang Yifei and Helio, they were full of confidence!

Just half of the time has passed, and the small characters on the track in the past have grown into a major threat to the Ferrari team. They even need to use the top driver combination in the f1 yard to encircle a fledgling Chinese driver.

This change of concept is not so easy to accept for the proud Ferrari strategy group.

But in a sense, this is also a warning to the once arrogant one. Never underestimate any opponent on the track. Even the driver at the bottom has the ability to capsize the gutter of the front car during the ferrule!

And it's not just the strategy group, if Jean Todd had said this last year, Schumacher and Barrichello might feel unhappy, thinking that this was an insult to themselves.

But now the situation is different, especially the scene before the game, the whole audience cheered, and it felt like the change of the weather.

Those track records and glorious moments of reaching the top have become past clouds. Only victory is the capital for the F1 team and drivers to gain a foothold in the paddock.

No matter how brilliant it was before, once you slide from the peak later, you will understand what it means to have no achievements, and even breathing is wrong.

"Um."

After listening to Jean Todd's suggestion, Schumacher nodded silently. Perhaps Schumacher himself did not expect that in just one year, a Chinese boy could pose such a great threat.

Barrichello on the other side also nodded, but said nothing. Because he knew very well that joining forces to surpass Fei is a polite word, and at that time, someone would inevitably make sacrifices to drag Zhang Yifei down.

The answer is obvious. This person cannot be Schumacher, it will be him Barrichello.

At the same time, McLaren's team at the next door repair station was also discussing the final tactical strategy before the race.

"In the top five, except for Coothard, they are all drivers of Ferrari and Prost. There must be a big battle between them. My requirement for you is to seize the opportunities in the battle process and try to improve their rankings."

"The more intense the struggle between the two teams, the more beneficial it will be for us McLaren. Monaco is not a peaceful track, and it will eventually make us wait for the opportunity."

McLaren Chairman Dennis is waiting for the opportunity for the two tigers to compete. It is best to fight hard on the track and then withdraw from the race for McLaren drivers to get a bargain.

This kind of thing is not without Monaco's history, on the contrary, there are many. Some drivers are lucky enough to even become the champions of the sub-station for no reason.

But then again, putting the hope of victory on waiting for opportunities rather than creating opportunities is really not in line with the position of McLaren’s three giants. From the side, it can be seen that the members of McLaren’s team are not very confident, and their current strategies are all towards extreme development.

When the strength is not enough, no matter how perfect the strategy is, it will be useless.

Kimi Raikkonen did not say anything as usual about Dennis' instructions. On the contrary, Kuthard replied with high spirits at this moment: "Boss, I will not disappoint the team this time."

This year, Kuthard's condition has plummeted, but on Monaco's most important F1 track, he unexpectedly rebounded and won fourth in the qualifying round.

This was undoubtedly a stimulant for Kurthard and also revitalized his confidence.

There is another more important reason, that is, in addition to Schumacher, Kurthard is the only driver among the active drivers who have won the Monaco championship by relying on his strength, which is his confidence.

So this time, Coothard doesn’t want to disappoint the crew members, nor does he want to disappoint the car fans who have always supported him. He will never fall to the end and will usher in the moment of a Jedi turnaround!

"Very good, for the sake of victory and for McLaren, we can't lose anymore!"

Ron Dennis looked at Kurthard who was reviving his confidence and became more excited.

It doesn’t matter if you lose, you will lose for the rest of your life if you are afraid!

At 2:00 pm, the annual Monaco Grand Prix started on time. Twenty-two cars parked on the starting space of the track in the order of qualifying, waiting for the start of the warm beads.

Zhang Yifei's position is on the pole position on the left side of the track, which is not only the leading position distance, but also because the Monaco track starts and accelerates the right angle after the Monaco track starts, the pole position can also have a great advantage in the subsequent route grabbing.

The weather is not as bright as yesterday's sunshine. The cloudy weather is less hot and scorching, which is actually more comfortable for drivers.

It can be said that in the Monaco main competition today, the time, place and people are in harmony. Zhang Yifei occupied it in the initial stage, and maybe this is what fate is!

The routine warm beads began, and the track commentary began to introduce some situations about the competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad you watched the most exciting and passionate Monaco Grand Prix in this F1 season. This year's pole driver is a driver from Prost. He ran a magical speed of 1 minute 14 seconds 277 in the qualifying race, breaking the fastest lap controlled by Schumacher and creating the biggest suspense for this year's Monaco Grand Prix."

"That is the title of King of Monaco, which will be continued by Schumacher, or will a new champion be born?"

Brendel told his opening remarks and briefly mentioned the results of the qualifying match. Because in many countries, including China's F1 broadcasts, there is no relevant content for practice matches or even qualifying matches.

So at the beginning of the race, I need to briefly talk about pole drivers and lap results.

"That's right, I also want to add that during the driver's parade, flying from China received cheers and applause from the audience. This is the first Asian driver in history who has been recognized and respected by the Monaco track. From the side, it can be seen how impressive the performance of the flying qualifying race is!"

Jacques once again emphasized Zhang Yifei's performance in the qualifying race. The pole position score may not be as good as the main championship, but behind this, Zhang Yifei broke Schumacher's monopoly on the Monaco track for eight years, and it was also the first time that Asian drivers stood at the top of this legendary track.

In any case, this is a memorable and proud deed, otherwise Fei would not have been recognized by thousands of viewers.

The opening commentary of the two of them also won the resonance of many track audiences.

"This is Che Shenfei from our China. I hope he will ascend to the top and become king!"

After listening to the opening commentary, a Chinese audience stood excitedly at the high point of the track guardrail, and then shook the red flag in their hands.

He wants more audiences to know that this is a Chinese driver and a Chinese car god!

"It's true that the flying is very strong, and it's expected to break Schumacher's rule."

"Come on, Zhang Yifei, I love you~~!"

Soon a scream sounded. Zhang Yifei once envied Kimi Raikkonen's fan club, but now he himself is also quite a lot in the paddock.

After all, strength is the most attractive thing for men.

However, many things will be reversed. Zhang Yifei has been so popular and praised in the past two days, which made the fans of Ferrari and Schumacher finally unable to resist the counterattack.

How come Schumacher is also the "King of Monaco" today. With the five Monaco sub-station champion trophys, you, Zhang Yifei, have no results. Why can you say that you can break Schumacher's rule before the main competition has ended?

This is like many young and handsome guys in later generations. When they do not have enough results to support them, they will be attacked by the crowd if they are too popular!

"Don't be too proud, the Chinese boy is far from reaching Schumacher's height first!"

"As long as Schumacher is still on this track, the title of King of Monaco will not be your turn to fly."

"It's very arrogant, let me see how the driver Fei defeated Schumacher on this track!"

Various counterattacks sounded, making the Monaco Grand Prix, which was still in the warm bead, full of gunpowder.

But in a sense, this scene symbolizes Zhang Yifei's qualitative change. At least in the eyes of most people, this Chinese driver has reached an equal position with Schumacher, and even the biggest enemy of the God of Cars on the track!

The warm bead ended, and all drivers returned to their own parking spaces, and the safety car also ended.

Zhang Yifei's eyes stared at the indicator lights above the track. As long as the start did not give Schumacher any chance, in the next schedule, Zhang Yifei was confident that Schumacher would not find any chance to overtake in the narrow streets of Monaco.

Moreover, the advantages of the brake system transformation will be highlighted as the longer it takes. This time, Prost Racing can be said to have truly defeated Ferrari racing!

However, Schumacher set his eyes on Zhang Yifei on the right, with the expression on his face as thoughtful.

No one knows what Schumacher was thinking at this moment, is he full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit, or is he lamenting that things in the world are unpredictable?

But in the Prost fleet repair station, there is a decision-making discussion.

"The mentor, will you really not issue a convoy order? Let Yifeijun and Alonso join forces?"

Yamamoto Ukyo asked, two drivers in the Prost team were in the qualifying round, one was pole position and the other was third, with Schumacher in the middle.

As long as it is a normal team strategy group, Schumacher will be given priority, but Kossell has never mentioned the cooperation from the qualifying tournament to the main race, and the two drivers themselves will not mention it.
To be continued...
