With an affirmative tone, Korcel proved Zhang Yifei's current ability on the track, and even did not hesitate to quote Senna's deeds back then.

You must know that Senna's accidental death is an eternal pain in Korser's heart, and one of the main factors that led to his death in an accident was the pressure brought by Schumacher, which made Senna brake extremely late, and finally the car lost control and rushed off the track.

Being able to catch up with the rear of an opponent's car will put pressure on whoever it is. More importantly, Schumacher's form today is not good, and he let Montoya surpass him before, but in fact, the mistake is not big, it is more of a carelessness for new drivers.

But the biggest impact was actually Schumacher's unstoppable momentum, which was broken by Montoya with the wildness of the American drivers. Because in the process of grabbing the line before, Schumacher took the initiative to choose to back down.

Momentum is a very metaphysical thing, but it really affects the results of the competition. Perhaps under the circumstances at the time, Schumacher thought that a newcomer like Montoya was not worth risking a crash to stop him, but it was his concession that made Montoya's confidence and courage come up, and he began to play at a super level, so that he could always lead until now.

The reason why many spectators on the track are not confident that Barrichello will surpass Zhang Yifei is also because Barrichello's crushing momentum in the practice stage has now disappeared without a trace.

If you can't be absolutely strong, you will inevitably be at a disadvantage in the competitive process!

Zhang Yifei on the track, after ending the call with Cosell, began to chase Schumacher in front of him frantically.

Now Zhang Yifei actually has the momentum to return with victory, but he didn't realize it. Since the Australian Grand Prix, he has been on the path of progress, little by little, changing the outside world's evaluation of himself and the confidence to defeat his opponents.

You must know that Zhang Yifei's original goal of entering F1 was to rush into the points area, and the podium was a long-term dream.

Of course, this kind of momentum is not comparable to Schumacher winning six consecutive races, but for a newcomer, it gives him enough courage to sweat the world's top drivers, just to see if Zhang Yifei can play it.

And Cosell's words are equivalent to giving a key, and now Zhang Yifei has officially put the victory over Schumacher on his "agenda"!

In the process of Zhang Yifei overtaking Montoya, he did not experience any grappling and blocking cars, which means that the speed is not slow. Unlike previous races, because of the scuffle with the back row riders, the distance from the first echelon is getting wider and wider, and there is no hope of catching up at all in the end.

Even this time it can be described as the opposite, Zhang Yifei did not fight with Barrichello too much, and finally surpassed the other party in one fell swoop, while Schumacher and Montoya fought very fiercely.

was surpassed by a newcomer like Montoya, and was almost squeezed out of the track, this "humiliation" Schumacher was naturally unconvinced, and the follow-up was also crazy to catch up and want to overtake back.

But Montoya played really well in this race, perfectly suppressed Schumacher's overtaking moves, and maintained his leading position all the time. It was precisely because of Montoya's blocking that Schumacher did not widen the distance between him and Barrichello.

If it weren't for Zhang Yifei's pursuit being so ferocious, Barrichello focused on the Chinese riders behind, and it is estimated that he would have launched an overtaking offensive against Schumacher a long time ago.

After all, his teammate and biggest rival, Barrichello also wants to strengthen his position in Ferrari by beating Schumacher.

Although the gap between Zhang Yifei and Schumacher is not far, it is not easy to catch up with him without eating the wake. Fortunately, there was Montoya's blocking action, so that Zhang Yifei finally officially entered the overtaking range on lap 48.

"Fei has finally caught up with Schumacher, and I believe that with Fei's aggressive character, we will soon see him attack Schumacher. At the start of the race, there was already an F1 newcomer who overtook Schumacher, so will that happen again? ”

Blundel became emotional when he saw Zhang Yifei catching up with Schumacher.

After all, the strongest driver on the track, a Grand Prix race is attacked by two newcomers one after another, which is definitely a rare scene.

What's even more rare is that one of the newcomers has also successfully challenged!

Of course, Montoya has an Indy World Championship title after all, and many people don't think he's a pure newcomer. But Zhang Yifei is different, he has never even run an F3000 event, and he is a real newcomer to F1 with a "triple jump".

If even he can surpass Schumacher, then F1 will really change!

Just when everyone's eyes were locked on Zhang Yifei to see if he could overtake Schumacher. At this time on the track, there was a serious crash.

Schumacher Jr., from the Williams team, after overtaking Heidfeld, intends to take advantage of the victory and overtake Barrichello in one fell swoop.

But at this moment, Barrichello is in the stage of being extremely aggrieved, blocking very strongly, not giving Ralph Schumacher any chance to overtake.

With the same mentality as Barrichello, Schumacher Jr. made up his mind to surpass Barrichello no matter what, so that he would have a chance to catch up with Zhang Yifei. After all, as the schedule shortens, the chances of him surpassing him will become less and less likely, and he certainly can't afford to waste too much time on Barrichello.

So the two of them faced each other, and in the process of seine's bend and snatching the line, there was a violent collision. Barrichello's left front wheel was knocked straight away, while Schumacher Jr.'s entire front suspension was scrapped, and both men retired from the race, ending their journey at Interlagos.

This result was unimaginable to everyone, especially many Brazilian fans at the scene, when they saw Barrichello come out of the car with their heads down, their eyes were saturated with tears of disappointment and unwillingness.

Barrichello retired last season due to a hydraulic system failure, leaving Brazilian home fans disappointed. This season, the home crowd thought he was going to be the king, only to withdraw unexpectedly again, and this frustration is understandable.

"Why! Why is it that after Senna, there is no driver who can defend the glory of Brazil? ”

"Barrichello, you are hailed as the successor of Senna, the new generation of Brazilian champions, do you use this performance to give back to your fellow Brazilians who have supported you?"

"My heart is broken, is Senna the last glory of Brazilian Formula Racing?"

"Who will be the next Brazilian to win the Interlagos circuit, and will we have the next one?"

The enthusiastic and unrestrained samba faded, and all that remained was the mournful cry on the track, and the scene of sad Massa eight years later seemed to have been staged in advance.

It is only at this time that Massa can still bring the last hope to Brazilian fans, and when Massa retires more than a decade later, there will be no world-class formula drivers in Brazil, representing the end of a racing era.

The screams of the home crowd had no effect on Zhang Yifei, because competitive sports did not believe in tears.

Another point is fortunate for Zhang Yifei, Barrichello and Schumacher Jr. both crashed out of the track, and there is no need to send out the safety car to press the car, which means that Zhang Yifei's overtaking process has not been interrupted.

Zhang Yifei has already bitten the rear of Schumacher's car at this moment, and the distance between the two cars is only a few meters! This is a very dangerous distance, especially at current speeds of over 200 km/h.

The reason why Zhang Yifei chose to stick so close is because in front of him is the No. 1 Senna bend of the track, which is the most commonly used overtaking point in the entire track, and it is on this bend that Zhang Yifei has a textbook-like cornering control.

He wanted to test his handling limits and see if he could really reach the same level as Schumacher.

At the first entry point of Senna's S-bend, Zhang Yifei finally launched his offensive. At this moment, Schumacher uses the standard outside-inside-outside route method, so Zhang Yifei goes straight into the inner lane and intends to overtake in the corner.

Looking at the blue car that gradually caught up with him on his left, the expression on Schumacher's face was very indifferent, and he still carried out his own control accurately, guarding the line and not giving Zhang Yifei a chance to seize it.

While the Chinese newcomer was perfect in the Seine corner, Schumacher was just as good at a textbook corner, which was no weaker than any of his rivals. He clearly knows all the overtaking routes in the Seine Bend, and what small moves Zhang Yifei wants to play in front of Schumacher is simply an axe.

Relying on the advantage of the inside line, Zhang Yifei finally came to the moment parallel to Schumacher, which was the first time that Zhang Yifei could stand on the same level as Schumacher in three races.

The two cars entered the corner like the twin towers, and Zhang Yifei leaned on the shorter distance of the inside lane, gradually overtaking the front of Schumacher's car.

But once the center of the corner is over, the outside cushioning advantage comes in, and Schumacher can turn more quickly. And Zhang Yifei was equivalent to a sharp turn on the inside line, and when he didn't grab Schumacher's line, he could only be forced to slow down and turn the corner.

So Schumacher, who was still a little behind just now, caught up again in the process of exiting the corner, from parallel to leading again.

However, the first exit of the S curve is almost equivalent to the entry of the second corner, and the turn of the curve is reversed, from the beginning of the left bend to the right bend.

The change of direction represents Zhang Yifei in the inner road, who is in the best line of the outer road at the moment, and the scene that appeared in Schumacher before was staged on Zhang Yifei again!

On the narrow corners, both cars used amazing speed, leading each other and side-by-side corners, completing extreme maneuvers like dancing on the tip of a knife.

This scene of side-by-side collinear cornering pictures, not only the audience on the track were stunned, but even the strategy groups of the major teams were stunned, this can definitely be called this year's TOP horror control!
