Compared with the stalemate of the front four, at this time the back row is already in flames, Helio is extremely difficult to resist, Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen joint attack, and even several times, rely 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 is overtaken. If it weren't for Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen, they wouldn't be in the same team after all, and while the two were working together, they were still guarding each other, and they might have overtaken successfully.

"Patton, hurry up, run to the front, Renault's victory needs you!"

Briatelli shouted excitedly to Barton, this time in qualifying, Jenson Barton was only ranked 12th, and the gap with Helio in fifth was still a bit big.

After all, Barton can win the world championship, relying on the speed of rapid growth, but steady stability!

The Tokai Circuit is a brand new circuit, and it can be very difficult for a driver of Barton's style. He was able to run to the twelfth place in qualifying this time, which was already for the team to burst out of its potential.

By the start of the race, Jenson Button had already overtaken both drivers to move into 10th place. However, he wants to help Helio and at least move past two opponents to move up to eighth place in order to pose a threat to Kimi Raikkonen.

Obviously, with Barton's current strength, it will be a bit difficult for him to surpass two stronger opponents in a short period of time.

It's not that Briatoli doesn't understand this truth, but in this situation, he has no choice but to rely on Barton to create a miracle to save Helio!

Listening to the sound coming from the headphones, Helio felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. Once on the Indy track, I was so proud that I didn't even need the help of the Indy champion.

Now it's down to the point where it can be saved by the rookie driver he looks down on?

I'm not convinced!

These are the three words that burst out of Helio's heart, arrogance may be the biggest obstacle to his upward movement, but it is also the biggest reliance on him to get to where he is today.

If he didn't even have self-confidence, maybe Helio would have fallen from now on, and there would be no hope of challenging the world championship again.

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

"What?"

Hearing Helio suddenly reply to such a sentence, Briatoli was a little confused, in this emergency moment, the American kid is still so stubborn and arrogant, thinking that he doesn't need help?

In normal times, maybe Briatoli will still rely on Helio, after all, this guy is the hope of Renault to hit the Big Three.

But now it's time to storm the Big Three, and if Helio is beaten by McLaren-Williams drivers, all that effort will be in vain.

Briatoli didn't think it was the time for Helio to be willful, and today he had to submit to the team's dictates anyway. If you don't listen, next year the Renault team will have to leave with Helio!

A wave of anger arose from the team manager, and Briatoli was about to give a strong order, but at this moment, Helio Race Engineer Lunda, who had been relatively low-key and silent, stopped him.

"Briatoli, I know Helio, this is his last stubbornness and self-confidence."

"If he doesn't have that, before Barton rushes up and clears the game, he'll be beaten by Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen."

Darren said it very bluntly, Helio's actions in the F1 paddock are actually more like a child who has not grown up, with a kind of blind confidence and arrogance.

Even many times, this kind of self-confidence and arrogance, after facing setbacks and failures, becomes a disguise of his inferiority complex and frustration.

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

So Darren stepped up to stop Briatoli's move, for the sake of Helio and for the sake of the team.

Briatoli doesn't care about other people's words, Darren is Helio's race engineer, the person who knows him best in the team. Even if he said this, then if he said these tough words, he would definitely not get the rhythm he wanted.

Briatoli has never been a tough team manager, but under the weight of the results in the closing game, he had to make some strong moves. Now that he understood the whole truth, his right hand on the earphone finally slowly put it down.

Regardless of the situation on the track, he can only trust Helio to hold on!

Laps 8, 9 and 10......

This has been the 15th lap, and the Tokai Circuit, which has been known as the most frequent overtaking in later generations, has been extremely stable today.

With a quarter of the way through the race, the qualifying positions of all drivers remained largely stable, especially the top four, and there were no changes from start to finish, except for Barrichello and Schumacher, two Ferrari drivers who alternated within the team.

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

However, as the schedule progressed, the top four controlled the first echelon of full-curve trailing braking, leaving the second-echelon riders far behind the drivers, and even Zhang Yifei still had less than a kilometer to complete the ring for the bottom riders.

Even if it is the second echelon, Montoya, who is still crumbling and stabilizing the first place, is about 2.5 kilometers away from Zhang Yifei's car, and about halfway through the race, Zhang Yifei will complete the ring of the second echelon as a whole.

The gap in strength is vividly demonstrated on the new track of the East China Sea.

"Shumi, now it's time to go all out for the grip of the racing tyres."

It was at this time that a team order from the Ferrari pit station reached the ears of Schumacher and Barrichello.

After 15 laps, the car was in peak condition under various working conditions. If you continue to run for another 20 laps, you will start to cross the peak and be in a downward trend, and then choose to overtake, and the danger will increase significantly.

So the Ferrari strategy team has set the fifteenth circle as the start of a full-scale attack, and now the time has come!

Hearing Jean Todd's order, Barrichello did not hesitate at all and launched an offensive against Zhang Yifei again.

And this time, Schumacher, unlike before, fell behind Barrichello, always occupying the middle line of the track, not giving Alonso any chance to overtake. Instead, he followed Barrichello and launched a fierce attack at the same time, one left and one right, and really began to exert his strength!

In the face of the sudden all-out attack of the two Ferrari drivers, although Zhang Yifei had already prepared for the battle, he began to feel more than enough at this moment. There are so many overtaking routes on the wide Tokai circuit that there is no way to block the opponent's overtaking routes like street races.

Moreover, Barrichello's cooperation with Schumacher is exquisite, constantly taking turns to give up the vacuum area at the back of the car, accelerating the opponent and using the catapult effect to attack, Zhang Yifei wants to rely on speed to get rid of them.

In a sense, the existence of this physical phenomenon is also the charm of F1 competition. Otherwise, as long as a driver runs faster, then theoretically the rear rider will never have the possibility of catching up, and the existence of a vacuum area means that the absolute speed of the rear car will be faster than the front car, even if the strength is poor, there is a fight!

Of course, theory is theory, and in fact, to achieve the combination of Schumacher and Barrichello, there are not many pairs of drivers in F1 history who can make it.

That's why Blundell was so impressed before, and being able to block the attack of the Ferrari driver combination is indeed a monster-level strength.

Zhang Yifei was able to block Barricheroga's attack by half of Schumacher with his own strength.

When Schumacher no longer estimated Alonso behind him and chose to attack with all his might, it was really difficult for Zhang Yifei to block such an offensive. In other words, on the whole earth, no one can stop the complete body of the Ferrari duo, and Senna is reborn without the strength to fight.

However, if it can't be stopped, it doesn't mean that it will be easily defeated, even if the Ferrari duo attack with all their might, Zhang Yifei still resisted stubbornly, almost using the snake-like line on the track, and still suppressed the Ferrari driver's first-round attack.

The right time, place and people are not a joke, and they represent Zhang Yifei's absolute control over the home of the East China Sea Circuit!

"Zhang Yifei's situation is very dangerous, it is still too difficult for him to block Schumacher and Barrichello's attack alone!"

"What about Alonso? What is Alonso doing, and is he still slowly recuperating in the back? ”

"Normally Alonso is a spectator, but in this critical situation, doesn't he play the role of a wingman to contain the Ferrari drivers?"

"Prost unite, the F1 paddock is not Zhang Yifei's battle alone!"

The fans at the scene began to get excited, Zhang Yifei could still block it before, and Alonso paddled in the back to protect the tire, just care about himself.

Now Zhang Yifei's situation is beginning to be critical, and even from the broadcast screen, the front of the Ferrari car can be seen several times, overtaking the rear wheel of the Prost car. still relied on Zhang Yifei's precise cornering and routing to overtake him stubbornly.

Alonso doesn't help now, does he still deserve to be called a teammate, worthy to be called a Prost driver?

"One fly, you must block it, you will definitely be able to block it!"

He Ziling clasped her hands in front of her chest, she had never felt so nervous, and it was the first time she realized that she cared so much about Zhang Yifei.

"Yifei is technically impeccable, and the performance of the East China Sea Grand Prix is not too much to say that it is the best in the world."

"It's just that the Ferrari combination is too strong, and it can't be resisted by the strength of one person, so now it's up to Alonso to support. Only Prost united, can overcome Ferrari. ”

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

Now it's time to show the power of the Prost team!
