432 Unilateral crushing
"Is Ralph Schumacher suppressed by Zhang Yifei's IQ?"
"I can't believe my eyes, Zhang Yifei can really outperform Schumacher Jr.
"This is too NB, right, does it count as crushing Schumacher Jr. in terms of hard power?"
"Although I support Zhang Yifei, are Chinese drivers really so powerful?"
The audience in the stands began to discuss, cheering and cheering, and it was not even as good as Zhang Yifei's previous surpassing of Pannis and Montoya.
Because in the eyes of many people, this scene has an unreal feeling, most people shout that Zhang Yifei is very strong, and also think that he can become a super newcomer in this year's F1 season.
But the problem is that most people don't think that Zhang Yifei has really grown to the point where he can challenge the current well-known F1 drivers.
Kimi and Montoya are currently in high demand, but no matter what, they still haven't gotten rid of their rookie status, and they haven't got enough results, and Schumacher Jr. is also a real top five driver in the annual points, which is the biggest difference between him and the newcomer.
Therefore, many viewers expect Zhang Yifei to defeat Ralph Schumacher, but they feel that it is too difficult, and the probability of success is not very high. As a result, now that this scene really appears in front of me, the surprise is greater than the joy, and this scene of forgetting to cheer will appear.
Not to mention the spectators in the stands, even in the Pit Stop of the Prost team, everyone was a little stunned when they looked at Zhang Yifei's operation on the track.
Because Zhang Yifei's overtaking process just now was definitely not luck, or relying on recklessness to overtake the past, but made full use of the characteristics of the corner, and then relied on his calm response and control to complete the overtaking of Ralph Schumacher.
This kind of performance is not at all like the level that a newcomer can show, and the pit team members are a group of F1 veterans, and it is impossible for them not to see the technical content of Zhang Yifei's overtaking.
It is precisely because of the technical content that it will make people feel even more incredible.
"Kossel, I'm going to ask again, you really didn't let Fei get professional rain training?"
Prost opened his mouth to ask, this is also the voice of many people in the team pit stop, Zhang Yifei's performance is really incredible.
"Nope."
Korcel spat out the word, when he became Zhang Yifei's race engineer, he was already playing Formula Renault, and later he went directly to the F1 team, where did he get the time and conditions to fight in the rain.
Of course, Cosell can also understand why Prost asked again, let alone him, even Cosell himself, it was normal to see Zhang Yifei manipulating.
He knew that Zhang Yifei had a talent for rain fighting, after all, the practice match had already shown it, but he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to be so strong in rain fighting, and his control of the limit of wheel grip was no longer inferior to many first-class drivers.
This scene reminded him of Senna back then, but the problem was that Senna was a Brazilian driver, and it was normal for a rainforest climate to be familiar with rain battles, but landlubbers like Massa were not normal.
So Senna has the foundation to become famous in the rain, after all, he has been exposed to the rainy circuit many more times than other F1 drivers.
Chinese drivers don't have this foundation, even if it is the Toyota training base in Japan, it is also difficult to hone the rain battle, how did this kid train, is it really talent?
Confusion is a common emotion, which may become a mystery for Zhang Yifei, but he can't only lean on the talent theory, F1 has been in sports for decades, and it is not a strange thing that a yellow genius driver has appeared.
After all, in a few years, who would have thought that there would be a black talented driver?
Zhang Yifei on the track, after surpassing Schumacher Jr., actually had an irrepressible excitement in his heart.
This is the first time he has beaten a well-known F1 driver in a head-to-head match!
The sense of accomplishment and impact of those top drivers who once only existed in memory or on TV finally has the opportunity to challenge or even beat them in their own lives.
Fortunately, it's just a little Schumacher, if this moment is a big Schumacher, Zhang Yifei probably can't help but dance excitedly!
However, Zhang Yifei soon suppressed this overly excited emotion, because surpassing Schumacher Jr. is just the beginning, and there are many strong opponents in front of him. Entering the points area, or even getting on the podium, is Zhang Yifei's ultimate goal!
With the defeat of Schumacher Jr., Zhang Yifei's opponent in front of him was replaced by Montoya, also from the Williams team.
For Montoya, Zhang Yifei is now very familiar, and it is not too much to say that he is his "old opponent".
However, in the early days, Zhang Yifei did not regard Montoya as his opponent, and he had only one "imaginary enemy", that is, the Finnish iceman Kimi Raikkonen!
After all, as the second driver in the current F1 paddock to complete the miracle of "triple jump", whether Zhang Yifei wants to or not, he is destined to become Kimi's opponent. Instead of passively waiting, it is better to take the initiative yourself.
It's just a pity that Zhang Yifei lost the battle of the twin stars, and he originally planned to take revenge in the Malaysian Grand Prix, but Kimi Raikkonen retired in the first lap and had no chance of a duel.
So the battle of the twin stars inexplicably became a battle with Montoya's strongest newcomer. As the world champion of the Indy 500, Montoya did not allow his position to be challenged by the Chinese driver, and he also wanted revenge for the failure of the Australian Grand Prix crash, so it can be said that he fought with Zhang Yifei for the whole time.
There were wins and losses in the process, Zhang Yifei overtook the lead, and Montoya also overtook back.
Now that Montoya is once again in front of his car, Zhang Yifei has no doubt that the other party will do his best to block him, even at the risk of retiring at the same time.
But Zhang Yifei doesn't need it at all in his heart, since he can win you once, then Lao Tzu can win you a second time!
"Montoya, you're about to catch up, this time you have to stop him at all costs!"
Sir Williams's tone was cold and resolute, the Chinese kid had already overtaken one Williams driver, and he definitely couldn't overtake two in a row!
Schumacher Jr. surpassed that scene before, and everyone in the P room of the Williams team was simply shocked.
Because in their opinion, Ralph Schumacher should crush newcomers like Zhang Yifei, after all, the current Schumacher Jr. performs well on the track and is hailed as a candidate for the future F1 World Championship.
As a result, Schumacher Jr. only blocked two laps and was overtaken by the newcomer from China at Turn 11 of the Sepang circuit, and it was still in the rain environment.
Don't think that Senna became famous in Yuzhan back then, just think that he is a newcomer and can perform well in Yuzhan. In fact, the vast majority of F1 newcomers did not perform well in the rain fight, but relied on the training in the team and the increase in the number of contacts with the rain fight, so that they slowly improved their rain battle ability.
So even if Zhang Yifei performed well in the practice match, many people still didn't take him seriously, especially in the face of an opponent at the level of Schumacher Jr., Zhang Yifei didn't have the slightest chance to fight in the rain.
The reality is completely opposite to what he imagined, Schumacher Jr. suffered a "fiasco" and ended his journey in the Malaysian Grand Prix directly by retiring.
This result is absolutely unacceptable for the Big Three Williams team. It is already a shame to be surpassed by a Williams car by the newcomer Yuzhan, and if it is overtaken by two cars in a row, the Williams team will become Zhang Yifei's background wall.
"I'm not going to let Fei overtake!"
Montoya also replied firmly, he and Zhang Yifei went back and forth several times, but Montoya had a hunch in his heart that this time it would be the final showdown between himself and Zhang Yifei at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
Whoever wins, unless the opponent behind has a shocking performance, will become the strongest newcomer in the new season. If you lose, you will naturally be the loser and the foiler!
Although the tone is very firm, in fact, Montoya's confidence is not very strong, the reason is very simple, that is, Montoya's rain battle is not strong.
Theoretically, Colombia also has a tropical rainforest climate, similar to Brazil, which is also in South America, but in reality, Montoya spent her career in the United States.
After all, a country like Colombia may be a little stronger than China per capita in this era, but its comprehensive national strength is definitely not at the same level. They relied on the advantages of colonial powers, and they were able to lay some kart foundations, but they did not have the strength to support a full formula training.
Once in Formula Plus, most of these South American drivers, including Brazil, went to the Indy Series in the United States to train, and a few came to Europe to compete in Formula 1 like Senna.
Historically, the Malaysian Grand Prix had rained much earlier than it is now, and Montoya retired on lap three.
In fact, this game is seriously speaking, at least Montoya played at a super level in the rain battle. It's just that both Shengyu and He Shengliang, when he met Zhang Yifei, who has a stronger ability to fight in the rain, he is destined to not be an opponent of the same level.
Zhang Yifei quickly approached Montoya, and it only took one lap to pass Montoya at Turn 1 of the track.
After all, on today's Sepang track, Zhang Yifei even showed off little Schumacher, and at present, the very ordinary Montoya wants to block himself, which is simply a fool's dream!
The spectators on the track, and even the professional teams in the paddock, thought that it would be a fierce and bloody competition, and maybe the two men would collide fiercely and retire.
As a result, I didn't expect that Montoya had no power to fight back, this was a one-sided massacre!
Is there such a big gap between the two most famous newcomers in this year's F1 season, and arguably the strongest newcomers?
