As Niki Lauda said, even without the hope of winning the championship, many drivers still do not give up fighting for every step of the way, and never giving up is the true meaning of motorsports!

"It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of full-court battle, and even the drivers in the back haven't given up. It's the finale, and everyone is working hard for their goals. ”

This kind of picture also made Blundel, the commentator on the track, very emotional.

thought that this was an event without suspense and ended with Zhang Yifei absolutely crushing.

As a result, when the day of the main race came, everyone did not give up and was still fighting.

"Yes, I even feel that the competition in the back row is more intense, and Montoya's attack on Helio is even stronger than Schumacher's gunpowder in the front row. It seems that in the F1 paddock, there is no room for two tigers, and only the strongest Indy drivers are qualified to lead the Indian king. ”

Li Bing agreed, he saw Montoya's more wild and ferocious attack, after all, with the entry of Helio, no one has treated Montoya as a symbol of IndyCar this year, and the light of the Indy World Champion on his body was completely taken away by Helio.

It's clear that Montoya doesn't just want better results, but also wants to reclaim her place!

And Kimi Raikkonen, who is behind Montoya, vaguely plays the role of "assist", and no one may have imagined in advance that Williams and McLaren, the two mortal rivals, would join forces in the final battle and launch an attack on the Renault team!

“FUCK！ Do Finns wear the same pants as Colombians? Where is Barton, hurry up and clear the siege! ”

Renault's pit manager, Briatoli, was in a very irritable mood because the final battle was far more severe than previously expected.

originally thought that Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen would contain each other, after all, the two of them were also direct competitors.

As a result, I didn't expect that these two people actually had a tendency to join forces on the track, and it was obvious that they both planned to kill Helio first, and then fight it out.

Briatoli is a professional manager, and a large group like Renault, for the qualified judgment of professional managers, they will never look at how much he has paid for the team and how much effort he has made, they will only look at the results simply and rudely!

As long as you can get good results, even if it is a mess in other aspects, it is acceptable for the senior management of the group.

It can bring Renault's new team into the position of the Big Three, and the gap between it and the fourth place that did not enter is far more than only one place behind. So at this time, Briatoli, who had always been calm, was in a hurry, and frantically urged Barton to rush forward and relieve Helio.

On the other side of the track, Helio was also extremely angry at Montoya's joint behavior!

In any case, he and Montoya are both Indydrivers, and there are contradictions and hostility between the two systems, so they should be more of a team as Indians.

Now Montoya is teaming up with F1 drivers, which is undoubtedly a betrayal of IndyCar and an act of traitor. Many times, traitors are more hateful than enemies, which is why Helio is so angry.

It's just that Helio forgot one thing at this time, that is, did he treat Montoya as a "comrade-in-arms" in the same camp before?

The answer is obvious, Helio never had this idea, and even many times, he despised Montoya, thinking that he lost to Zhang Yifei, which was really embarrassing for the identity of the Indy World Champion!

You didn't treat the other party as your own, and now you want Montoya to cooperate, it's a complete joke. Maybe in Montoya's eyes, Helio is also a driver he must kill, this kid doesn't even have the most basic respect for his predecessors, it's time to "clean up the portal"!

The back row was engaged in a frantic offensive and defensive battle, and the stable situation in the front row began to break at this time.

It's just that the initiator of this break is not the Schumacher that everyone expects.

Because although Schumacher completed the full-curve trailing braking in the No. 1 combination corner, Zhang Yifei's advantage on this track is not only this. In the subsequent corners, Zhang Yifei still showed his strong control ability over the East China Sea Circuit, and it was not easy for Schumacher to bite tightly, and it was very difficult to launch a strong offensive.

And if you don't pay attention to it, you didn't bite Zhang Yifei's racing wake, so it is definitely not a simple thing to catch up with in the future. Without the certainty of a one-hit kill, the current Schumacher does not dare to act rashly, he is waiting for the opportunity!

The person who launched the offensive was Alonso, the No. 2 driver of the Prost team, who was frantically attacking Barrichello!

Also as the No. 2 driver, the biggest difference between Alonso and Barrichello is that he has a "heart of disobedience". No matter how strong Zhang Yifei is and how solid his position in the team is, Alonso has never chosen to give in completely!

That's not to say that Alonso doesn't want to admit Zhang Yifei's strength, or that the team is unfair. On the contrary, Alonso now regards Zhang Yifei as the most powerful driver in the F1 paddock, surpassing Schumacher's kind.

Alonso has no complaints about the team's management, and he can not hesitate to fight for the Prost team and be proud to be a Prost driver.

The real reason may be that the heart of the champion, Alonso also yearns for the title of world champion and the next driver to sit on the throne.

Barrichello can choose to give in for money, and at the moment, Alonso, there is nothing for him to give up the heart of the championship. Even if he knows very well in his heart that this is a war between Schumacher and Zhang Yifei, he will still do his best to fight for it and will not put himself in the position of wingman.

Alonso was full of fighting spirit and thought of Barrichello, but he didn't have the slightest idea of fighting with the Spaniard boy behind him.

Because Scuderia Ferrari's directive was very clear, which was to let Barrichello make a feint and create an opportunity for Schumacher to overtake, rather than wasting time with Prost No. 2.

For ordinary audiences, Schumacher is now on par with Zhang Yifei. But for a professional car group like Ferrari, it can be easily seen that Zhang Yifei has always controlled a huge advantage, and it is difficult for Schumacher to launch a deadly offensive on his own, and Barrichello must cooperate.

"Damn the Spaniards, what good did the Prost team do to you to hold me down?"

Barrichello faced Alonso's strong, even aggressive offensive, and his inner mood was a little anxious and angry.

Because the team's strategy team is in a hurry, and for Schumacher to win the championship, and for the Ferrari team to stand on the top again, it will also be a huge boost for his interests. If nothing else, five Drivers' Championships, six Constructors' Titles, and the unthinkable amount of sponsorship investment next year, the new drivers' share of revenue may reach the tens of millions of dollars.

At the beginning of the 21st century, tens of millions of dollars can be called a huge amount of income in any industry. Barrichello's dream has been sold to Scuderia Ferrari and that's what he deserves!

So Alonso's crazy offensive, in Barrichello's eyes, is also for the money. Otherwise, he is a No. 2 driver, and he still has a fart pursuit in the final battle, can he really kill the driver Fei and win the championship?

Although Barrichello was very unhappy and angry in his heart, the team's instructions were stronger than his subjective consciousness, so the focus was not on pressing Alonso, but trying to speed up his own speed and bite Schumacher, hoping to have the opportunity to use the slingshot effect to overtake Zhang Yifei.

That's the benefit of the spaciousness of the track, and the Tokai Circuit is a standard track, and the wide section has no problem walking several cars side by side, which is perfect for team-by-team attacks.

In a sense, this is also one of the factors that lead to frequent overtaking on the East China Sea Circuit, which is much more difficult to defend and quite beneficial to the attacker.

This was the fifth lap of the race, and after a few frantic attacks, Alonso's attack slowed down for a while, as he found that Barrichello was stronger than he thought and defended very tightly.

To be honest, Alonso doesn't really respect Barrichello's top driver in his heart. After all, it is difficult for a driver to completely give up his sharpness and become a green wingman when he has strong strength, and it is difficult to get the admiration and respect of young drivers from the bottom of his heart.

So he didn't have any psychological burden to attack Barrichello, and he had a feeling of picking soft persimmons.

It's just that Barrichello has no sharpness, his strength is still here, especially in defense, Barrichello is definitely not inferior to anyone.

Not to mention that Barrichello's control of the East China Sea circuit is much stronger than others think, just like in history, everyone surprised that the final winner of the East China Sea Grand Prix was not Schumacher but Barrichello.

As soon as Alonso's offensive slackened, Barrichello immediately seized the opportunity to speed up and use the slingshot effect to eject. And Schumacher in front also cooperated with the incomparable concession of the overtaking route, giving Barrichello the opportunity to be side by side.

The cooperation of the two people can be said to be flawless, and there is no superfluous operation in the middle.

So it's not for nothing that Barrichello and Schumacher can be the perfect driver partners in the F1 paddock. This hand-to-hand cooperation alone is like a heart-to-heart cooperation, and other teams can't do it, including Zhang Yifei and Alonso.

There is no doubt that Schumacher asked Barrichello to overtake him in order to join forces to launch an offensive against Zhang Yifei.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei is limited by the one-stop tactics and is in the rhythm of pressing the car, and the speed is actually not the limit of speed, otherwise the tires will not be able to hold it. When he was still wondering why Schumacher didn't go on the offensive after a few laps, he saw two red Ferrari cars suddenly appear in the rearview mirror.

In an instant, Zhang Yifei understood why, Schumacher was waiting for the opportunity to overtake, and Barrichello was the horn of the attack!
