Compared with the stalemate of the front four, the rear row was already in full swing at this time, and Helio was struggling to resist. Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen had even had several times of joint offensives, relying on very dangerous continuous lane changes to force the rear car to give up the idea of ​​overtaking.

But even so, Helio's situation is already dangerous, and it is only a matter of time before he overtakes. If it weren't for Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen, they wouldn't be in the same team after all. While the two of them were working together, they were still guarding each other and they might have been successfully overtaking.

"Barton, hurry up, run ahead a little faster. Renault's victory needs you!"

Briatoli shouted at Patton excitedly. In this qualifying round, Jason Patton was ranked twelfth, and the gap with Helio, who was fifth, was still a bit big.

After all, Patton can win the world championship without relying on a rapid pace, but on a steady and steady basis!

The East China Sea Track is a brand new track, and it is actually very difficult for drivers of Patton's style. He was able to reach the twelfth place this time because the team had potential to burst out.

After the start of the main race, Jason Patton had already surpassed the two drivers to the tenth position. However, he wanted to help Helio, at least surpass two opponents, and to the eighth position, in order to pose a threat to Kimi Raikkonen.

It is obvious that with Patton's current strength, it is a bit difficult to surpass two more powerful opponents in a short period of time.

It’s not that Briatoli didn’t understand this truth, but in this situation, he had no choice but to rely on Patton to create miracles to save Helio!

Listening to the sound from the headphones, Helio felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He used to be so proud that he didn't even need the help of the Indy champion.

Now, I have fallen into the process of saving the rookie driver I look down on?

I'm not convinced!

These are three words that burst out from Helio's heart. Arrogance may be the biggest obstacle to his progress, but it is also the biggest support he can reach today.

If he didn't even have confidence, Helio might fall from now on and there would be no hope of becoming a world champion.

"Briattoli, I don't need anyone's help. I can stop Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen!"

"What?"

When Briattoli heard Helio suddenly reply to this sentence, he was a little confused. At such an emergency moment, the American boy was still so stubborn and arrogant, thinking that he didn't need help?

At normal times, Briatoli may still rely on Helio. After all, this guy is the hope of Renault's team's Big Three.

But now it is a critical moment to attack the Big Three. If Helio is defeated by McLaren and Williams drivers, all efforts will be in vain.

Briatoli believes that this is not the time when Helio is willful. Today, no matter what, he will have to surrender to the team's instructions. If he doesn't listen, Renault will have to leave next year with Helio!

A wave of team manager's anger came up, and Briatoli was preparing to give orders with tough sternness, but at this moment, the Helio racing engineer Renda, who had been relatively low-key and silent, stopped his movements.

"Briattoli, I know Helio, this is his last stubbornness and confidence."

"If there is not even this, and before Patton rushed to clear the ball, he would be defeated by Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen."

Darren was very straightforward. Helio's actions in the f1 paddock were actually more like a child who had not grown up, with a kind of blind confidence and arrogance.

Many times, this kind of self-confidence and arrogance becomes a disguise of inferiority and depression after facing setbacks and failures.

If Briatoli had to tear off Helio's disguise today, he would definitely not be able to achieve the situation he wanted, and would only make the current situation worse.

So Darren stood up and stopped Briattoli's actions, for Helio and for the team.

Briatoli doesn't care about other people's words. Darren is Helio's racing engineer and the person who knows him best in the team. Even he said this, so if he says these tough words, he will definitely not get the rhythm he wants.

Briatoli has never been a tough team manager. But under the heavy pressure of the final battle, he had to make some strong moves. Since he understood the whole truth, his right hand placed on the headphones finally slowly put it down.

No matter what the situation on the track is, he can only believe that Helio holds on!

The eighth lap, the ninth lap, the tenth lap...

This has been the fifteenth lap and is known as the most frequent overtaking in the East China Sea track in later generations, but today there has been an extremely stable situation.

The schedule has reached one quarter, and the rankings of all drivers are basically stable, especially the top four drivers, except for Barrichello and Schumacher, the two Ferrari drivers, who alternate within the team, have no other changes.

Zhang Yifei still maintained his advantage in the first car, and Alonso occupied the fourth position, maintaining the threat to the Ferrari team.

However, as the schedule progressed, the first four controlled the first echelon of the full curve tracking and braking, leaving the second echelon drivers far behind the drivers. Even Zhang Yifei was less than a kilometer away, and he had to complete the ferrule of the bottom-ranked drivers.

Even in the second tier, Montoya, who is still shaking and stable in the top spot, is only about 2.5 kilometers away from Zhang Yifei's car. About halfway through the race, Zhang Yifei will complete the overall ferrule of the second tier.

The gap in strength can be fully demonstrated in the new track of the East China Sea.

"Shumi, now it's the peak stage of racing tire grip, and it's time to attack with all your might."

At this moment, a convoy command from the Ferrari repair station reached the ears of Schumacher and Barrichello.

After running fifteen laps, the various working conditions of the car are at the peak. If you continue to run twenty laps, you will start to cross the peak and be in a downward trend. At this time, you will choose to overtake and the danger will increase significantly.

So the Ferrari strategy group set the fifteenth lap as the beginning of a full-scale attack, and now it has come!

Hearing Jean Todd's order, Barrichello launched an attack on Zhang Yifei again without any hesitation.

Moreover, this time, Schumacher did not fall behind Barrichello like before, and always occupied the middle line of the track, and did not give Alonso any chance to overtake afterwards. Instead, he followed Barrichello and launched a fierce attack on the left and right at the same time, and really began to exert force!

Faced with the sudden full-scale attack of the two Ferrari drivers, although Zhang Yifei had already been ready to fight, he was already at the moment but was not strong enough. There were too many overtaking routes on the wide East China Sea track, and there was no way to block the opponent's overtaking route like a street race.

Moreover, the cooperation between Barrichello and Schumacher was extremely exquisite. They kept taking turns to give up the vacuum area at the rear of the car, accelerating the opponent and using the catapult effect to attack. It was difficult for Zhang Yifei to get rid of them by speed.

In a sense, the existence of this physical phenomenon is exactly the charm of F1's competition. Otherwise, as long as a driver runs faster, the theoretically there is no possibility of the rear driver catching up. The existence of the vacuum area means that the absolute speed of the rear car will definitely be faster than the previous car, and even if the strength is poor, it will have the power to fight!

Of course, theory is theory. In fact, to achieve the cooperation of Schumacher and Barrichello, there are not many pairs of driver combinations in F1 history that can be made.

This is why Brendel was so amazed before that he could block the attack of the Ferrari driver combination, which is indeed a monster-level strength.

Zhang Yifei is in a good place and in harmony with the people, and can block Barrichelloga half of Schumacher's attack with his own strength.

When Schumacher no longer estimated that Alonso behind him chose to attack with all his might, it was really difficult for Zhang Yifei to block such an offensive again. Or in other words, no one on the entire earth could block the full body of the Ferrari two heroes, and Senna was not able to fight even if she was reborn.

However, it does not mean that they will be easily defeated. Even if the two Ferraris attack with all their strength, Zhang Yifei still resisted tenaciously, almost using the snake-like route on the track, and still suppressed the Ferrari driver's first-round attack.

The six words "time, place, and people" are not kidding, and represent Zhang Yifei's absolute control over the home court of the Donghai Track!

"The situation in Zhang Yifei is very dangerous. It is still too difficult for him to block Schumacherga Barrichello's attack alone!"

"Where is Alonso? What is Alonso doing? Is he still taking care of his health slowly behind him?"

"It's okay for Alonso to watch from the wall when he is on the wall. In this critical situation, isn't he still playing the role of a wingman to restrain the Ferrari driver?"

"Prost unites, the f1 paddock is not a fight alone by Zhang Yifei!"

The car fans at the scene began to be excited. Zhang Yifei could still block it before, and Alonso paddled behind the water to protect the tires, so he just cared about himself.

Now the situation in Zhang Yifei is becoming more critical. Even from the broadcast screen, you can see the front of the Ferrari car several times, surpassing the rear wheel of the Prost car. It was still with Zhang Yifei's precise cornering route to overtake the lead.

Alonso is not helping yet, so he deserves to be called a teammate and a Prost driver?

"Yifei, you must block it, you can block it!"

He Ziling held her hands in front of her chest. She had never felt so nervous before. It was the first time she realized that she cared about Zhang Yifei so much.

"Yifei is technically impeccable. It is not an exaggeration to say that the performance of the East China Sea Grand Prix is ​​the best in the world."

"It's just that the Ferrari combination is too strong, and it cannot be resisted by one person's strength. Now it depends on Alonso's support. Only when Prost joins together can he defeat Ferrari."

He Lang next to him said, after all, he is a professional driver and his understanding of the event is much higher than that of He Ziling.

After all, the track is not a place to fight alone. No matter how strong an individual is, the strength of the team will touch the ceiling.
