731 Joins forces with Helio (5K)

"Helio, block Schumacher, let Fei rush up first."

Briatoli finally made the choice of "leading the wolf to resist the tiger", because this stalemate is not the way to go, and the drivers behind catch up, especially the Williams duo attack, then all the top three drivers are losers.

"What did you say, let me block the car for the Yankees to rush up?"

When Helio heard Briatoli's tactic, he wondered if he had heard it wrong, and he actually wanted to block Schumacher and create opportunities for Zhang Yifei, was this a joke?

You must know that Helio's goal is to become an F1 world champion and dominate the entire formula racing world, but the primary goal is on Zhang Yifei, who must first take out this Chinese guy and then think about dealing with other drivers.

If he had to choose, Helio would rather give up this opening title to Schumacher than let Zhang Yifei sprint to the front row.

"That's right, you practice Prost and then he moves to second to block Schumacher."

Briatoli was brief about his strategy, believing that with Helio's talent, he would quickly understand the underlying reasons for doing so.

In addition to his pride, this American kid is undoubtedly diligent and talented in racing, and under any standard, Helio can be called a super talented driver.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the strongest newcomer in IndyCar's history by relying on arrogance alone.

Just as Briatoli thought, Helio quickly understood why the team wanted him to do it. It's true that now he's been held back by Schumacher, and the position of the head coach makes him not want to take those unnecessary risks.

You can even take a step back and say, even if it's a risk, who can be sure that Schumacher can't destroy the routing?

Compared with Zhang Yifei, who is known as a miracle newcomer, Schumacher's ten-year career in F1 has created countless miracles, which can be seen from Ferrari and Schumacher fans on any track.

So this tactic seems absurd, but objectively speaking, it does have a high possibility. If it can be achieved perfectly, it will kill two birds with one stone, dragging Schumacher and the Chinese boy to death in the back row, and he can be far ahead.

"I know what to do."

After saying this, Helio didn't expect to get rid of Schumacher by speeding up frantically, but began to block Schumacher's line in the corner, suppressing the speed of the car behind.

"Blocking cars?"

Schumacher felt the change in the speed and alignment of the car in front of him, and was a little puzzled at first, after all, the change was too sudden.

But with Schumacher's experience, it quickly became clear to him what Helio's motives were for.

Want to join forces to deal with me?

Schumacher had a look of anger on his face, and the two newcomers actually wanted to join forces to deal with him. I'm sorry though, I'm not that easy to deal with!

At this moment, Schumacher made a quick decision, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun at Zhang Yifei, the rear car, and completely blocked his overtaking line.

Schumacher is arguably the most powerful driver F1 has ever seen, and he has no shortcomings in his driving skills, even surpassing Senna in a sense. Offense is not a problem for him, and neither is defense, even if he is blocked, it is not easy for Zhang Yifei to overtake him.

The Scuderia Ferrari pits, seeing the increasingly obvious trend of joining forces in the front rows, are finally beginning to realise the holes in their strategy.

In fact, seriously speaking, the iron triangle period of Jean Todd, Ross Brown and Schumacher was the pinnacle of Ferrari's strategy team, creating all kinds of classic team tactics, so that Schumacher finally turned defeat into victory.

Compared with the Ferrari strategy group that was sprayed as mentally retarded in later generations, Ferrari in this era does not know where it is high.

But in this era, there is still a certain problem with the Ferrari strategy team, that is, it is too successful and seems to be very inflated. The famous Ferrari "give way" incident pushed the arrogance of the Ferrari strategy team to the peak.

Winning makes them overconfident and less focused on technique and process, and only about what the end result is.

The "let the car" incident in 02 directly affected the team's voice rules in the F1 paddock, and the team strategy team was not allowed to directly and clearly guide the drivers, thus giving birth to a lot of codes.

In this day and age, they also have this trend, thinking that Schumacher can easily take out Helio, and Barrichello, who is in third place, has no problem blocking Zhang Yifei.

If two Ferrari drivers are allowed to join forces to attack this year's F1 rookie boy, it is an act of price dropping, which is an insult to the Ferrari team and the drivers!

originally thought that everything was under control, but the plan could not catch up with the changes, Schumacher did not overtake, and Barrichello did not block Zhang Yifei, on the contrary, he is now caught in the attack of the Williams driver.

Compared to Ferrari's arrogance, other teams are shameless, and you can fucking join forces with the team, and now different teams are also teaming up to fight one, which is really despicable!

"BOSS, Helio is ready to join forces with Fei, Shumi's situation is not optimistic!"

Rose Brown instantly judged what he wanted to do from Helio's movements, and said to Jean Todd next to him in a somewhat worried tone.

"Isn't Helio, the American boy, arrogant, and a mortal enemy of the driver? Are you embarrassed to join forces with Fei now? ”

Jean Todd looked at the situation on the field and said sarcastically.

"After all, they're facing Shumi."

"Then they can only continue to understand that it is Ferrari Schumacher!"

At this point, the Scuderia Ferrari had no choice, and since Schumacher had been able to defeat two before, now he had to continue!

However, Rose Brown was not as stubborn and tough as Jean Todd, and after hesitating for a moment, he pressed the call button to give Barrichello the team instructions.

"Barrichello, don't keep blocking Montoya, rush to the front row as fast as you can to join Shumi."

The opponents have been disgraced to such a point, so Scuderia Ferrari can't just be reserved and arrogant.

A few years ago, when Schumacher was not yet in his current status, he was not a "face-saving" person, and he did a lot of dirty things for the championship.

In competitive sports, there are only winners and losers, and there are no gentlemen and villains. Regardless of whether the opponent is a newcomer to the track or not, since the strength is already here and threatens Schumacher, there is no need to care about face.

And then again, Helio and Zhang Yifei are not really newcomers. One is the Indy World Champion, the strongest Hindi newcomer of all time, otherwise he would not have been able to block Schumacher.

Another rookie season is over, and last year it was also the best newcomer in F1, the Laureus Rookie of the Year winner.

These two Schumacher can stabilize the situation with one enemy and two enemies, but it is impossible to let him go further, and the opponent is also not weak!

In the face of Ross Brown's instructions for the convoy, Jean Todd did not stop or speak. He actually knew in his heart that this was the right decision, but his stubbornness and status made him unwilling to admit his mistake in front of the crew members.

Barrichello, who received the team's instructions, finally gave up the task of blocking the car, began to increase his speed, and chased after Zhang Yifei in front.

As Barrichello starts to kick in, Montoya will naturally not continue to entangle, and his goal is always one goal, that is, to defeat Zhang Yifei on the track to prove his reputation and strength as an Indian champion.

So the drivers in the back row began to pick up speed, chasing the top three drivers who were getting into the dogfight.

Zhang Yifei on the AP05 car, when he saw Helio in the front slow down and began to block Schumacher's line, he was actually a little surprised at first.

Because according to the grudge between himself and Helio, thinking about it with his ass, it is impossible for this American kid to help him overtake. But after all, it's still the old saying, children distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only talk about interests.

Now that Helio has done this, there is only one reason, that is, the benefits he has received are greater than his ability to overtake Schumacher?

So what kind of benefits can be greater than overtaking Schumacher? After thinking about it, the answer is actually obvious, that is, when he comes to the second position, he will face Schumacher's all-out attack, so that he will inevitably become Helio's "wingman" and even cannon fodder.

It's really a good calculation.

Zhang Yifei said sarcastically in his heart, thinking about how to deal with it.

But at this time, Cosell's voice came from inside the headphones: "Fly, Barrichello has picked up the speed and is ready to join forces with Schumacher." ”

From the moment Barrichello gave up on blocking the car, Korsell had already guessed what Ferrari's strategy team was thinking.

Now Zhang Yifei is blocked by Schumacher, if Barrichello is allowed to catch up again, if these two Ferrari drivers really join forces, Zhang Yifei may not be able to stop it.

This is not to say that Zhang Yifei's current strength is not good, but at present, in the F1 paddock, no driver can block the joint attack of the Ferrari team, not even Schumacher himself!

In a sense, the two Ferrari drivers have teamed up to play a 1+1 greater than 2 effect, and Barrichello is the best green wingman in the entire F1 paddock.

"I see."

Zhang Yifei responded, when the news came, he had already made a choice in his heart.

Helio, you're playing big, but you're so confident that you won't get away with it?

Now that the speed of Helio and Schumacher has slowed down, Zhang Yifei is not polite, and directly kicks the floor oil, and begins to launch a ferocious attack on Schumacher, this posture can be described as swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger!

"Come on!"

Feeling Zhang Yifei's offensive, Schumacher also muttered in a low voice, he knew that with the character of a Chinese boy, he would not give up this opportunity. It's just that I didn't expect that Zhang Yifei would be so menacing, do you really want to take this opportunity to kill yourself?

It's not that simple!

At this time, Schumacher had a fierce confrontation with Zhang Yifei on the track, and there was no night battle with bad sight and water accumulation on the track, and both of them became extremely aggressive.

Because they all know in their hearts that this most critical moment is the moment when there is the most opportunity. Wait for Barrichello to rush up and everything will be settled!

"Come on, Zhang Yifei, surpass Schumacher!"

"Want to surpass Schumacher? Dream on what it means to be the strongest F1 driver! ”

"Boy, times have changed, there has never been the strongest F1 driver, the flying will be stronger!"

"When will the Chinese kid win the world championship, come and tell me who is stronger, and now he is not worthy!"

"Keep arguing, when Helio stands on the top podium, you will know how strong the Indy drivers are!"

"Shut up! Where is it your turn to get your Indy rider to speak? ”

"USA Wins !!"

The frantic competition for the top three cars on the track also mobilized the emotions of the audience, who cheered for the drivers they supported.

Although the number of supporters is different, this time Zhang Yifei's fans and Chinese audiences did not fall too far behind. The only thing that came as a bit of a surprise was that Helio had more supporters than expected.

The identity of the American, coupled with the title of the Indy World Champion, and the title of the strongest Indian newcomer of all time, has indeed made Helio far more influential than the average newcomer, and even many of the most popular veterans on the track can't match.

"Helio is going to fly together and deal with Schumacher together, and I have to say that Helio's tactics are very sword-winging, and at the same time, I am very surprised that he did this kind of thing."

After all, Blundell is only a commentator, and his professional vision is not as good as that of the team's strategy team, so he was relatively late to see Helio's tactical approach.

But even so, he was still amazed by the idea of Helio or Renault, which did break the deadlock on the track and provoke a war between Zhang Yifei and Schumacher.

In addition, he was amazed by the impression that Helio had always lost to the kind of brave and resourceful people, especially arrogant and arrogant and unable to listen to other people's opinions.

Looking at it now, Helio may not be what he imagined, he could bow his head at the right time, and even did not hesitate to join forces with Zhang Yifei to deal with Schumacher. In a sense, opponents who know how to bow their heads are even more terrifying.

"After all, he is an Indy World Champion, and it is impossible to win the highest honor if he relies solely on recklessness."

"However, with the current situation on the track, even with the help of Helio, it seems that it is not easy for Chinese drivers to surpass Schumacher, after all, the strength is still not good."

Leo praised Helio in the first sentence, and immediately belittled Zhang Yifei when he came back in the second sentence.

Blundell will no longer argue about the actions of the Singaporean commentator, because it is impossible to change a person's mind in a short period of time by reason.

"Waste, this can't surpass Schumacher!"

Helio saw that he had already helped block the car, but Zhang Yifei was still suppressed by Schumacher, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But when he said this, he didn't think that before he had Zhang Yifei to share the firepower, he couldn't get rid of Schumacher, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

But then again, Schumacher's defensive intensity is really a bit beyond Zhang Yifei's expectations, and it is much stronger than last year. Schumacher, who is worthy of being at the peak, met the most suitable F2002 car for himself, and really gave full play to his strength, and Zhang Yifei was suppressed.

As the clock ticked by, the race passed through lap 14 and came to lap 15. Barrichello, who was thrown off before, was only one corner away from Zhang Yifei through continuous chasing.

If it can't be overtaken and Barrichello eats his own racing wake, then the distance between the two cars will be drastically shortened. At that time, it will not only be Schumacher's block, but also Barrichello's attack.

Maybe even the other way around, Schumacher took the initiative to block himself and create an opportunity for Barrichello!

Because Zhang Yifei and Helio felt that Schumacher was strong, the other party was also surprised by the strength of these two young drivers. Whether it's Helio or Zhang Yifei, Schumacher feels that they are stronger than last year.

It's the last chance, I can't put it off any longer!

Looking at the red Ferrari car looming in the rearview mirror, Zhang Yifei was clenched at this time, planning to make a desperate bet.

And in his plan, not only to surpass Schumacher, but also to surpass Helio in front of him! Don't you like me to be cannon fodder to contain Schumacher? I'm sorry, I have the same idea, I'll leave it to you!

Turn 13 at the Singapore Circuit is the slowest and narrowest corner of the entire circuit, with a width of no more than 5 meters, and can accommodate two F1 cars side by side.

Passing through this corner will be reduced to 80 km/h in first gear, but after the corner, there will be a longer straight that can soar to 280 km/h in seventh gear, or even more.

Not to mention the new season, many drivers are not familiar with this track, even if it is the Singapore Grand Prix in the future, few drivers will choose to overtake at this corner.

The danger is too high, and the difficulty is too great!

But risk means chance, and at low speeds, it's easy to get ahead of your opponents in terms of speed, not to mention having Helio in front of you.

So after the 12th, Zhang Yifei suddenly changed lanes and no longer continued to follow Schumacher, but appeared in the rearview mirror of the head car Helio.

Zhang Yifei didn't know if Helio understood his intention to overtake at Turn 13 in this way. But this is the only action he can express his offensive thoughts, after all, whether the two of them are in the same team or not, there is no way to discuss tactics through voice.

To be honest, when Zhang Yifei made this move, his inner emotions were extremely impossible, and he probably couldn't have imagined that he would join forces with his sworn enemy Helio in the opening game, and deal with Schumacher, the car god!

Really many times, it can be described by the four words impermanence of life.
