594 Unbelievable (Chapter 2)
βNICEοΌ This corner is a low-pressure area tap, which is simply the control of a world-class driver! β
Nicky Lauda excitedly praised him, as an F1 World Champion, he attaches more importance to the driving skills of many drivers.
Zhang Yifei just pulled his head and squeezed into Schumacher's inner line It was very difficult, and even Schumacher was already on guard, and he still squeezed in by riding the shoulder of the road when there was not enough parking space to run the line.
Just this operation, if the overtaking is successful, it can definitely be put into the annual TOP10 highlights. You must know that Zhang Yifei overtook a lot of cars before, including the No. 13 Grim Reaper Turn in front of him, and he relied more on late braking and courage to overtake.
And now this super Schumacher is a pure technical flow overtaking, perfect judgment and distance control, in order to make this overtaking maneuver!
"The Chinese kid's driving skills are amazing."
McLaren team chairman Dennis also exclaimed, the scene of newcomers relying on sharpness and wild overtaking Schumacher is actually not uncommon. For example, Montoya's battle for fame in F1 relied on the wild and hard-pressed Schumacher who was not afraid of crashes.
But newcomers can achieve the level of technical flow, overtaking Schumacher's top drivers, few people can do it, Zhang Yifei may be the first this year.
The youthful and frivolous spirit is only a temporary advantage, and only the absolutely strong technology is the foundation of the top drivers in F1. Obviously, with the arrival of the end of the season, Zhang Yifei has begun to change from a newcomer.
Schumacher on the track, looking at the Prost car next to him who successfully grabbed the inside line, was shocked in his heart!
It can be said that he never thought that Zhang Yifei did not rely on extreme late braking and aggressive line routing, but relied on normal hard power technology to complete the overtaking of himself.
Although it is now a side-by-side stage, Zhang Yifei has already grabbed the inside line out of the corner, and overtaking has become an established fact.
Can the Chinese kid win himself in terms of car skills?
Schumacher questioned inwardly, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
It's absolutely impossible, why should the Chinese newcomer win me Schumacher?
As soon as he thought of this, emotions such as anger, unwillingness, and humiliation began to fill Schumacher's heart.
For a moment, Schumacher looked at the Prost car riding on the shoulder of the road next to him, and wanted to knock the other man off the track!
Schumacher did this kind of thing, and more than once. But the classes that can make Schumacher shoot are at least World Title contenders, such as Villeneuve, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen, and so on.
Is a Chinese newcomer worth the stake on Schumacher's reputation to knock him off the track?
Obviously, with even a modicum of sanity, it is impossible to do such a thing. More importantly, this is not a competition for the world championship, whether the opponent wins or loses, it cannot change the reality that Schumacher runs second and can lock in the world championship in advance.
For a driver of Schumacher's level, he can collide with his opponent for the championship, but it is absolutely impossible to do such an irrational thing out of anger, and it is even possible to give up the upcoming world championship title to others.
So this thought was just fleeting, and Schumacher did not make a radical move, but let Zhang Yifei successfully overtake.
This scene made a certain area in the stands directly "boom" erupt.
"Head car! Zhang Yifei! β
"No matter what despicable means are used, Zhang Yifei can prove his strength after all!"
"What about the F1 champion, what about the king of Indy, China Fei is the strongest driver at the moment!"
"Keep laughing! Smile at me again! β
"Let Montoya catch up, come and feel Zhang Yifei's current strength!"
The Chinese supporters at the scene finally vented their grievances and anger at this moment.
It is true that on the American circuit, in the face of these arrogant American Indy fans, it is useless to reason with them. Only by smashing them in the face with strength and results will these people understand the strength of Chinese drivers!
In the face of the counterattack of Chinese supporters, the clamor of American fans is no longer as strong as before. After all, the facts are in front of you, Zhang Yifei can run to the front row, and it is not by chance that he can become the first car, and indeed this Chinese driver is not a rookie!
Strength and results are the best weapons to silence the clamoring!
Even several Indy champions of the year on the track, after seeing this scene, did not have the relaxed expressions of spectators before.
They began to wonder in their hearts, did they find the wrong soft persimmon, this Chinese newcomer, is really so strong, can overtake Schumacher twice in a race?
For the first time, it could be said that Schumacher was careless, and no one expected that Zhang Yifei ran a new line at Turn 1, and Schumacher was completely defenseless.
But this time, it is estimated that even Schumacher himself is embarrassed to use carelessness as an excuse.
These Indy drivers may disagree with the strength of F1 drivers, but they will not question Schumacher's ability. If he goes to the track to run with the Chinese kid, can he really win with his current performance?
When there is an answer to this thought in their minds, their confidence in victory begins to waver.
The Scuderia Ferrari pit was as silent as death at the moment, and all the crew members didn't know what to say at the moment. There's even a feeling of being in a dream, and the scene in front of you doesn't seem to be happening.
Perhaps the strategy team never imagined that a Chinese newcomer could surpass Schumacher twice on the track.
Rose Brown spoke first: "Todd, do you need to give Shumi a little encouragement?" β
"Nope! No, you don't! β
Jean Todd directly rejected this idea, and he could feel the shock and unwillingness in Schumacher's heart at this moment.
If you encourage or comfort Schumacher at this time, it is equivalent to questioning Schumacher's strength, because only losers need encouragement and comfort.
"So what should we do?"
"Do nothing, trust Schumi to surprise us."
Schumacher's nine-year career has created too many achievements and surprises, and it has made people have a blind sense of trust in him. As long as Schumacher is still running on the track, the outcome is not predestined, and there are endless possibilities.
Although Schumacher was overtaken by Zhang Yifei, the current schedule is only 50 laps, and there are still 23 laps to complete.
Anything is possible!
Jean Todd's firm confidence also relieved the crew members from their surprise.
That's right, this is Schumacher, the strongest driver in the world at the moment, the man who has locked in the world championship ahead of schedule. What kind of wind and waves have not been seen, Senna, Prost, Mansell and other legendary drivers have broken their wrists, and they still need to worry about a Chinese kid?
Schumacher can handle any situation on the track for one reason, and his name is Michael Schumacher.
Zhang Yifei on the track also has a kind of ecstasy in his heart at the moment. In any case, the former Schumacher is an unattainable peak in his mind.
He had won against Schumacher before, but Zhang Yifei always felt a little luck and luck.
This time overtaking, Schumacher was definitely defending with all his might, and he could still rely on pure wake pulling skills to surpass, which was a complete victory.
may be from this moment on, Zhang Yifei can proudly believe that he has surpassed Schumacher and defeated Schumacher!
As Zhang Yifei overtook in front, the offensive and defensive momentum began to change, and Schumacher began to attack frantically, and even there were extreme lines that had not been seen before.
I can feel that Schumacher is really starting to get a little angry, otherwise he would not have made such a risky move with the situation that he locked up the world championship in advance. After all, the world championship can be obtained, and no one will laugh at Schumacher's strength because of a runner-up.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei suffered a lot of pressure at this moment, compared to the previous broken tail wing, and stubbornly defended Montoya's circle.
But Zhang Yifei was not always the unlucky one, and soon someone helped him relieve the pressure, that is, Montoya chased after him and attacked Schumacher with a more ferocious offensive.
Now that the race has come to fifty-five laps, with less than twenty laps left in the end, the sense of urgency is growing, and neither Schumacher nor Zhang Yifei is a fuel-efficient lamp in front of Montoya.
So there was no time for Montoya to waste, and he had to seize every lap and launch a ferocious overtaking offensive to emerge victorious in the final twenty laps.
Champions, only champions, can wash away the shame on Montoya, as well as prove the honor of being the king of India!
It was precisely because of Montoya's ferocious offensive that indirectly helped Zhang Yifei drag Schumacher. I didn't expect that the pinching scene I had been worried about was enjoyed by Schumacher.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yifei gave up his previous defensive posture and began to frantically improve his lap time. Because compared with Schumacher's offensive, Zhang Yifei was more worried about being caught up by Montoya.
After all, Schumacher has scruples and has the fetters to lock up the world championship in advance, and Montoya can lose to anyone, and he must not lose to himself.
What happened at Turn 13 made Zhang Yifei understand that Montoya at this moment was a group of bloodthirsty wolves, and there was no reason for a madman to talk about.
Montoya is very fierce, Schumacher is not a soft persimmon, it doesn't matter if he is overtaken by a newcomer, Montoya also wants to join in the fun, and he didn't put me in his eyes, did he?
Do you really think that your identity as the annual champion of Indy is enough to look at my F1 World Championship title?
So Schumacher's defense was meticulous and didn't give Montoya any chances.
Originally, this kind of scene of two tigers fighting each other was extremely beneficial to Zhang Yifei, but after running a few laps, Zhang Yifei's face changed, because he found a serious problem.
