"The Chinese rookie actually completed a collinear turn with Schumacher?"

Inside the Minardi pits, Madur's mouth was wide open, almost dropping his jaw.

Schumacher is currently the strongest driver on the F1 track, can Zhang Yifei be equal to him?

"President Ghosn only offered Fly a development driver spot, and it would definitely be one of his most failed deals!"

Renault's manager, Briatoli, looked at this scene on the track and couldn't help but complain.

Briatoli, arguably one of the top professional managers in the F1 paddock, was the one who discovered Schumacher at Benetton.

Later, with the acquisition of the Benetton team by the Renault Group, Briatoli became the manager of the Renault team and the president of the racing division, owning a part of the team's shares.

In a sense, he has been promoted from the stage of professional manager to the level of shareholder boss.

Later, he single-handedly tapped the potential of "head brother" Alonso, and created two world-superstar-level F1 drivers in his hands.

Obviously, Briatol sees the potential of Zhang Yifei, who can be controlled by Schumacher, but not much. And the rookie stage can fight with the current Schumacher to fight, but there is no one at present, only Zhang Yifei has done it.

This kind of potential was not discovered by Ghosn at the beginning, and only a place was given to develop drivers, no wonder the Chinese kid refused in a negative mood, preferring to go to the upcoming collapse of the Prost team, and indeed Ghosn looked down on people a little.

"You shouldn't have accepted the conditions of the Flying Arrow team in the first place, otherwise Yifeijun would have been a Toyota driver."

When Toyota team chairman Tsutomu Tomita saw this scene, he finally couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, compared with the Renault team, Toyota occupies the biggest first-mover advantage, as long as the F1 contract is proposed at that time, even if it is just a test driver, it is estimated that Zhang Yifei will agree.

After all, for Zhang Yifei, he is a driver cultivated by Toyota's youth academy, and he participated in Formula Renault in the early days, which was also the greatest help given by the Toyota team, and people should always remember to be grateful.

As a result, because of the additional conditions of the shareholders of Flying Arrow, the Toyota team withdrew from the technical support team, and even let go of Yamamoto Ukyo and Takeda Junko, the two team leaders.

If they were all still in the Toyota team, they would be the ones who enjoy all kinds of amazements and cheers now.

But then again, the Toyota team is the most promising, but also the least likely. Because in an obscure newcomer, compared to buying a full F1 team, as long as the head is fine, the latter will definitely be chosen.

So no matter what you regret now, it's an afterthought.

Although the major teams sighed, in fact, Zhang Yifei returned to the back from side by side after the Senna bend.

The reason is that he did not seize Schumacher's line, once he entered the straight, with the advantage of racing performance, Schumacher can still easily overtake Zhang Yifei.

Unless Zhang Yifei comes to Schumacher completely, then he can suppress Schumacher behind by constantly blocking the car.

Seeing that he finally ran out of a slight advantage in the corners and was easily equaled by Schumacher on the straights, the members of the Prost team clenched their fists and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

That's the sadness of a small team, without a top-of-the-line car with great performance, even if it's a good driver, it's hard to get a good result. What's more, once a good driver comes out, he will be poached by the big team, resulting in even less competitiveness.

Many times the reality is so cruel that even if you know it in your heart, there is no good solution. Unless the team retains its strong drivers and develops top-performance cars for several years in a row, it has a chance to sprint for the Big Three.

For example, Renault in the next few years, Red Bull and so on.

Of course, the rise of these teams also has something to do with the powerful car manufacturers behind them, and private teams often feel desperate, even the old big three like Williamson.

Zhang Yifei watched the red Ferrari car next to him gradually take the lead, directly turned on the engine speed limit, and then stepped on the accelerator to the end. If the F1 is not in the middle of the engine, Zhang Yifei's foot has a feeling of stepping the throttle into the engine.

But the ceiling of Prost racing is like this, and the acceleration performance will not change with Zhang Yifei's will. And Schumacher must be doing the same thing, he can't give Zhang Yifei a chance to be equal to himself on the straight.

Is it going to be crushed again? I'm not reconciled!

Zhang Yifei shouted in his heart, he used Montoya's block to get this overtaking opportunity.

If not, the race will reach the 50-lap mark and the time for the third pit stop will come.

The previous two pit stops to change tires, the Prost technician team can be regarded as a super level of performance, and the speed is not weaker than the Ferrari team, so that Zhang Yifei has not been pulled away in the stop time.

But we can't pin our hopes on super-level performance, and the last time we make a pit stop, we will change to light fuel and super soft tires, and everyone will enter the stage of competing for extreme speed. At that time, Montoya is not expected to be mainly blocking cars, and will run his fastest lap like crazy.

Because at this time, the car is still blocked, and other opponents who change to super soft tires and light fuel will be easy to catch up.

Therefore, in the final stage of the F1 race, as long as it is a three-stop tactic, basically the fastest lap will burst out in the second half, with few exceptions.

At this moment, it is Zhang Yifei's best chance, and it may be the only chance. He almost completed the "god-killing" and surpassed the insurmountable peak in his heart, did he fall short before the finish line?

"Fly, full throttle, ride the shoulder, super or not, just look at the No. 3 Kurva bend in front."

Cosell's roar came from inside the headphones, and he finally didn't maintain his calm image, and yelled at Zhang Yifei what he thought.

Because Zhang Yifei's overtaking opportunity is rare, Kosell also knows it, and if Turn 3 is not overtaken, then there will be a long straight. At this time, the Prost car, which has weak performance, will have no chance to overtake, and will be completely thrown away by Schumacher.

Win or lose, in this move, this may be the last chance at the Interlagos circuit.

Hearing Cosell's words, Zhang Yifei did not hesitate at all, and pressed the accelerator pedal to the end with his right foot. Even when he came to the braking point, Zhang Yifei did not let go of his accelerator, and took the extreme late braking method, using his fastest speed to enter the corner.

Originally, Schumacher was probably one body ahead of Zhang Yifei, but in the face of extreme late braking into the corner, this gap was instantly erased.

Zhang Yifei rode directly onto the inside shoulder, and the whole car quickly overtook Schumacher. It's just that Zhang Yifei's speed basically doesn't have the ability to go out of the corner, it's more like a cannonball, rushing straight out of the corner, and there is no need to even hit the steering wheel.

And if you choose to slow down and turn at this moment, then the scene of the previous Seine bend will be staged again. Schumacher can take advantage of better routing, accelerate out of the corner to overtake back, and the next long straight is a pure competition for racing performance, Zhang Yifei has no hope of catching up.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei did not choose to forcibly turn into the corner, but slowed down slightly, maintained a high speed through the center of the corner, and when Schumacher wanted to cross the tangent line of the center, he directly stepped on the brake to slow down, forcibly blocked in front of Schumacher, and smoothly slowed down the corner.

This sudden braking directly made Zhang Yifei's JS53 racing tires lock, and a puff of green smoke appeared on the ground similar to that of rubber after burning tires. And not only Zhang Yifei is like this, Schumacher behind him, in the face of a sudden car blocking and slowing down, can only step on the heavy brake to avoid chasing Zhang Yifei.

Are Chinese newcomers looking for death?

With a sudden brake, accompanied by the "hiss" sound of tires, Schumacher finally couldn't help but curse angrily.

Zhang Yifei's sudden braking and deceleration is simply a kind of malicious intention to let the rear car rear-end, if his reaction is slow then a few tenths of a second, maybe the two cars will collide together at a speed of more than 200km/h!

It is important to know that the No. 3 Coulva Turn at the Interlagos Circuit is a high-speed corner, and the drivers are all passing at a speed of about 210km/h in third gear. Even if the relative speed is not so exaggerated, and there is no serious consequence of car crash and death, the situation of car crashing and retiring is absolutely inevitable.

Zhang Yifei's move is undoubtedly playing with fire!

Schumacher was right, Zhang Yifei's move is indeed playing with fire!

But this fire, Zhang Yifei did not dare to play with anyone, only Schumacher had this qualification, let him make such a risky move.

Because Zhang Yifei believes in Schumacher's skills and strength, in the F1 paddock, it is necessary to choose a driver, and in the face of this sudden sudden braking can still react without rear-end collision, the probability that Schumacher can do it must be the highest.

So Zhang Yifei is gambling, betting that Schumacher can react and brake, and will not hit the back of his car!

This kind of gambling is surprisingly risky, and if there is a choice, Zhang Yifei doesn't want to use this kind of play to get rid of, so he will overtake in the way of "ending up together".

But he didn't have a choice, if he didn't use this way, Zhang Yifei really couldn't think of how he could surpass Schumacher, who is still at this stage and still has the advantage of racing performance.

The only advantage he may have over Schumacher is the mentality that he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. After all, Zhang Yifei has no hope of winning the championship, and the retirement without points does not have much impact, and it is already a highlight moment to catch up with Schumacher and fight him.

But Schumacher won't miss any points, as it will determine whether he can defend his World Championship title for the second time and reach the quadruple title.

The process was very thrilling, Zhang Yifei could be regarded as playing with his life, and the result was that Zhang Yifei won the bet, he surpassed Schumacher and defeated the unattainable F1 car god for the first time!
