Montoya appeared in the pit lane to start, and this picture was also incomprehensible to many people, and even Yamamoto Ukyo couldn't help but ask Korcel.

"Mentor, what is Montoya trying to do, is it really a car failure that caused the start? However, it stands to reason that his strength as the Indian 500 World Champion should not have such a low-level mistake. ”

The track command center has reported that the cause of the malfunction caused Montoya's car to not start.

However, Yamamoto Ukyo was still very skeptical about this announcement. Because the Williams team had very short repair time, the warm-up laps were not over, and Montoya was already parked on the grid.

In terms of repair time, it should only be a very small problem, and it is reasonable to say that it will not be so serious that it will fail even to start.

If it weren't for the car failure, the operation error was not quite in line with Montoya's strength, could it be that as some reports before the race, Montoya planned to completely crush Zhang Yifei, so he used this way of running the same line to avoid falling into the truth after winning?

"It's not one opponent on the track to beat, it's everyone, it doesn't matter what Montoya thinks, he's just one of the people who flies to win."

Korcel replied lightly, he didn't take Montoya's actions to heart, the identities of the opponents on both sides will not change because of the starting location, and the duel is inevitable after all.

"Mentor, I understand the truth. But if Montoya really did it on purpose, then his actions were too extreme, and he might make some dangerous driving moves during the race. ”

This is what Yamamoto Ukyo is really worried about, and the courage and determination to give up the sixth starting line in the qualifying race and choose the pit lane to "compete with Zhang Yifei" is a bit amazing.

Since it has paid such a big price, it is inevitable to reap more rewards, and the crash scene in the practice match is still vivid, and it is difficult to guarantee that Montoya in this state will not go to extremes, and Zhang Yifei will be in danger at that time.

"Drivers face a variety of track conditions in their careers, and dangerous driving is one of them. Since Fei chose to become a professional driver, then he needs to face it himself, and no one can help him with the risks he possesses. ”

Kossell is still very calm, because this is the life of a professional driver!

There are countless accidents on the track that have been deliberately crashed, and Senna has done it, Prost has done it, and Schumacher has done it too.

Zhang Yifei is a newcomer to the track, but this kind of thing will happen to him sooner or later, the drivers are growing up in danger, and it is not a bad thing for him to feel the malice on the track in advance.

Hearing what the mentor said, Yamamoto Ukyo didn't say much, this is the difference between F1 and Le Mans, the competition in F1 is more cruel and fierce, many times even if it is a crash, it is one of the tactical means, you must adapt to this process!

In the pit start area, Montoya looked at the Prost car in front of him with a gloomy face. Contrary to what others suspected, Montoya's Williamson car did have a little problem.

However, this problem, in fact, does not affect the start and operation very much, and the damage will be far less than that of starting from the pit lane at this time.

However, Montoya did not choose to change the tires and repair, but took the opportunity to go to the pit stop and start the car.

Because of the withdrawal of the Australian race, the sarcasm of Zhang Yifei at the post-match reception, and the ridicule of Schumacher Jr. in the pre-match lounge, these factors aggravated Montoya's revenge a little bit.

The wild and aggressive of the American drivers is also beginning to show at this moment, and Montoya intends to use the toughest way to come to the pit lane to crush Zhang Yifei, so that the world can see who is the strongest on the track!

Zhang Yifei, who was in the car in front, looked at the Williams racing car that appeared in the rearview mirror, he didn't know what was happening, let alone what Montoya was thinking in his heart at the moment.

But from behind him, there was the sound of the engine roaring, and he could feel that it was Montoya's war against him.

Chase me to the pits?

The corners of Zhang Yifei's mouth rose slightly, and he went down with one foot of the accelerator when he hung up the gap, responding to Montoya's provocation in a very street way. You must know that unless the F1 race requires revs at the starting moment, it will not hit the throttle in neutral.

This is not to say that the engine can't withstand these two throttle blows, but when the car is not driving, the engine air inlet is not enough air volume to enter the engine to dissipate heat, which can easily cause the engine temperature to be too high.

The race is about to start, and there is no team staff to cool down the engine with air guns. But whether it is Montoya or Zhang Yifei, they both choose to respond to the other party's provocation by hitting the accelerator at this moment.

And before the other cars on the track began to pull the rps, the sound of the engines of the two cars in the pit lane attracted everyone's attention.

"Is Montoya on the same page as Zhang Yifei, and he plans to counter Zhang Yifei's overtaking in Australia?"

"Surely, there was an interview with Montoya before the race, and he said that the Sepang circuit will prove his strength as a world champion, and it seems that he is going to win the Feiliwei!"

"It's Montoya, the wildest Indy driver in Colombia, chasing to the pits to provoke, it's really tough!"

"That's the spirit of racing, drivers don't have to be left behind!"

"Montoya, come on!"

"Kill Zhang Yifei, Montoya!"

"Colombian pride, you really are not a coward!"

The roar of the engines grew with the frenzy of the spectators on the track. Originally, Montoya had a lot of supporters of Colombia, but on the Sepang circuit, his number of supporters was far less than that of Zhang Yifei.

After all, in the Asian track, Malaysia has a Chinese base, and it is close to China, so all kinds of advantages are not comparable to Colombia, which has tens of millions of people.

It's just that because of Yang Long's track accident, Malaysia's home audience is now on the opposite side of Zhang Yifei. Holding the mentality that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, they all supported Montoya, and the cheering sound was simply deafening for a while.

The five indicator lights on the track began to go out one after another, and the race officially began, and for a while, the sound of the engine roaring resounded in the sky, instantly overshadowing the cheering sounds on the track.

However, at this time, it was not time for Zhang Yifei and Montoya to start, and they had to wait for the other cars on the track to completely pass before they could get out of the pit lane, which was also to avoid a collision.

It's just that this setting will make Zhang Yifei and Montoya far behind at the beginning. If you want to catch up with the front, it will be a "long march" with an extremely difficult process.

Watching the cars passing by at the exit of the pit area, the green light for the start was also lit at this time, Zhang Yifei directly adjusted the gear to the second gear, and then stepped on the accelerator and started directly in second gear!

Formula 1 cars normally start in first gear, because first gear has the most torque and the fastest acceleration. And because of the gearbox, F1 cars can easily pass 100 in one gear, which is a level that other civilian vehicles cannot reach.

However, in some special cases, the driver will start in second gear, the most common is the rainy track, in order to avoid the first gear too much torque and slip, second gear becomes the best choice.

In fact, many civilian vehicles, if there is a snow mode to observe carefully, also start from the second gear, the principle is to prevent the engine power is greater than the tire grip, resulting in vehicle skidding.

Now the state of the track road surface is actually not very wet, and it is okay to start in normal first gear, but it is slightly more difficult to control. But Zhang Yifei uses hard tires, and before the tire temperature comes up, the grip is weaker than that of rain tires or super soft tires, so he will choose the way to start in second gear.

Prost car rushed out, and Zhang Yifei stepped directly on the floor oil to avoid being overtaken by Montoya. Because he saw in the rearview mirror that Montoya was using super soft tires, he definitely planned to overtake at the fastest speed to achieve a shocking effect.

Because the audience will not take into account the differences in various tires and tactics, they only know that you can surpass your opponent in one lap, and your strength is stronger than surpassing your opponent in ten laps!

There is no doubt that Montoya came this time with the mentality of being a ruin, and he wants to use the battle at the Sepang circuit to answer all the doubts about his strength!

Zhang Yifei started in second gear with full throttle, and relying on the starting speed, he still couldn't stop the torque advantage of Montoya's first gear start. So he started to play the steering wheel at the moment of starting, predictively calculated Montoya's overtaking route, and directly began to press the car.

You must know that according to Zhang Yifei's character, in fact, he doesn't like this way of pressing the car that I am slow and the opponent is slower. If he could, he would rather switch to extreme soft tyres and compete with his opponents on the track for sheer speed.

But the real F1 car is not a game, relying on who is not strong in theoretical data, who is powerful. All racing car parts are limited in life, and the performance and service life of each component are reasonably used, which is the meaning of the existence of the strategy group!

Montoya was just as Zhang Yifei expected, and he planned to eat Zhang Yifei at the beginning. Not to mention the advantage of tire gear, the Williams car alone is better than Zhang Yifei driving a Prost car, not to mention that what Zhang Yifei is driving now is not a car that he personally adjusted, but a spare car!

But he didn't expect that Zhang Yifei's reaction would be so fast, and even as if he had read his inner thoughts, he changed lanes and forcibly pressed the car, and even the two cars almost collided directly just now.

“FUCK！”

Montoya couldn't help but scold, if he hadn't braked and downshifted quickly, maybe the two cars would have collided at the start.

You must know that this time Montoya paid a huge price, and even did not hesitate to accompany Zhang Yifei to the pit lane to start, just to completely prove that he is better than the Chinese driver.

Therefore, any collision and withdrawal is not the result that Montoya wants, what he wants is to be absolutely crushed!
