Although Zhang Yifei often boasts that he is a track killer with no feelings, there is still a distance compared to racing machines.

At least in the face of this kind of malicious blocking of the car, it is certainly impossible to say that you are not angry or unwilling. After all, the opponent is not a cat or a dog, it is the famous Schumacher!

was surpassed by Schumacher, and it was very difficult to overtake him back, and Zhang Yifei also knew that behind him was Montoya, who had been chasing frantically, and had chased the gap of more than three seconds behind from the pit to about two seconds.

On the Indianapolis circuit, Montoya is the biggest threat, no matter how far behind he is, Zhang Yifei does not dare to take him lightly.

Strategically, you can despise the Colombian superstar and despise the king of India, but you must pay attention to tactics, otherwise you will become the loser who carelessly underestimates the enemy!

It's just that Zhang Yifei doesn't have the time and capital to be angry now, and he can't reason with Yang Long, why should he block his own car. I can't discuss it with Schumacher, it's not fair to overtake just now, you should step back behind me.

So Zhang Yifei knows the reality very well, and the only thing he can do in this situation is to overtake him and regain the position of the car again.

And the time is very urgent, it must be done before Montoya catches up with him, otherwise he will be caught in the dilemma of being caught between two sides. You must know that Montoya's offensive on this track is much more ferocious than the previous Schumacher!

"Alex, well done!"

Madu couldn't help but praise in the team's voice, Xiong Long just got stuck before the three blocking penalties, and let Schumacher go, leaving Zhang Yifei in a backward position.

Although his intention to maliciously block the car is obvious, it is still within the scope of the rules, which means that some "lawsuits" are fought. Xiong Long's treatment made Ma Du very satisfied at the time, and sure enough, he still squeezed out the last trace of use value.

Hearing Madu's praise, there was no trace of joy on Xiong Long's face.

In addition to blocking Zhang Yifei just now, there was a hint of revenge, when watching the two leading drivers go away again, a sense of loser frustration once again filled Yang Long's heart.

Even if Zhang Yifei is lagging behind? He is still far ahead of himself, even in a lap. In this situation, if you can still proudly think that you have defeated your opponent Zhang Yifei, it is simply a self-congratulatory Q spirit.

Maybe Yang Long is just a last-class driver in the F1 paddock, an inconspicuous little person. But he is still the pride of Malaysia, and even almost became the first Chinese F1 driver.

Xiong Long has not yet fallen to the point of cheering for this "victory", so he does not feel that this is something to celebrate.

"Montoya, the opportunity is here, fly right in front of you!"

As soon as Zhang Yifei was overtaken by Schumacher, the Williams team passed the news to Montoya on the track.

Schumacher's quality and defensive level are undoubted, he is a super driver without any shortcomings. Therefore, Zhang Yifei wants to surpass it, the difficulty is absolutely amazing, and the accidental overtaking staged at Turn 1 before, Schumacher will definitely not let it be staged a second time.

This is Montoya's chance, as long as Schumacher can block Zhang Yifei, then with Montoya's strength and Williams's racing performance, he will definitely be able to surpass!

In fact, without the need for a reminder from the team, Montoya can already see the change of the head car. After all, the fiery Ferrari car is too conspicuous. Even if it was the blue Prost car in the back, Montoya was firmly engraved in his mind.

Although he didn't know what role the Minardi driver had played in this overtaking game. But as long as you make sure that Zhang Yifei is in front of you, it is enough to make Montoya motivated!

"I know that the Chinese kid won't be ahead for long."

Montoya replied lightly, at this moment he is full of confidence in whether he can catch up with and surpass Zhang Yifei!

"Good, keep it up!"

Sir Williams is very satisfied with Montoya's current state, this is the transformation of an F1 newcomer to the status of the king of the Indy world!

On lap 43, the chase on the track was still extremely fierce, even beyond the initial start.

The more you get to the second half of the game, the closer you are to the final victory, so you don't want to taste defeat in the final stage!

Zhang Yifei has always been biting Schumacher, and the lap speed of the two people is almost the same. It can also be seen from this point that Zhang Yifei does have the strength to completely confront Schumacher head-on on the Indianapolis circuit.

You must know that Schumacher won the sub-race championship on this track last year, even if his control on this track this year may not be as strong as Montoya, it does not mean that Schumacher is a weaker on this track.

Zhang Yifei can now be on par with Schumacher, and with his status as a rookie in the season, he is indeed terrifying.

Schumacher looked at the blue Prost car in the rearview mirror that had never disappeared, and the expression on his face was serious. He had absolutely no carelessness in this lap, and it could be said that he exerted his full strength, but there was still no way to get rid of Zhang Yifei.

Although Zhang Yifei is in the back car, he has the advantage of racing wake, but he also has the advantage of Ferrari racing performance, so in a sense, it is a draw.

How did the Chinese kid achieve this kind of progress in just three days?

Schumacher questioned in his heart, after all, on the first day of practice, he could clearly feel Zhang Yifei's rustiness in walking the line, and the lap speed was also outside the tenth. As a result, three days later, just like the veteran of the Indianapolis Circuit, the line is no longer weaker than himself, and the progress is a bit amazing.

"Shumi, increase the speed, try to get rid of the riders behind you, Montoya is very fast after the pit stop, don't give him a chance to catch up!"

The Scuderia Ferrari strategy team sent a track order, and they hoped that Schumacher would not lead Zhang Yifei by blocking the car, but directly throw off the opponent.

Just as Zhang Yifei thought, the strategy team of the Ferrari team actually regarded Montoya as the biggest opponent in the United States. In fact, it is true that the lap after his departure was at least 0.2 seconds faster than the current Zhang Yifei and Schumacher.

It is true that there are reasons for this, but Montoya relied on more than ten laps to close the stop gap of nearly 4 seconds, so he had to pay attention to this as the home driver of Indy.

If Montoya is allowed to catch up, then Schumacher will not only have to face a newcomer, but also a more powerful Montoya.

So the best way is to use the speed to get rid of Zhang Yifei, and it can also delay Montoya's catch-up time. It's better to let the Chinese kid fight with the Colombian superstar, and Schumacher runs in front alone and reaps the benefits of the fisherman!

"I understand."

Hearing that Montoya was about to catch up, Schumacher was also shocked, he couldn't entangle with Zhang Yifei like this anymore, he had to get rid of his opponent and open up the lead.

From lap 44 onwards, Schumacher's speed began to climb, and he no longer focused on blocking Zhang Yifei, but went all out to get through the corner as fast as he could. As long as he can be faster than Zhang Yifei, then the other party will not be able to catch up with him!

But the fact is that it is not as Schumacher, or the Ferrari strategy team thinks, that five laps have passed, and behind Schumacher, there is always the blue Prost car, which follows closely like a ghost.

Schumacher felt that he had run out of the limit lap time many times, and he couldn't find any flaws in the whole process, but he was still chased by Zhang Yifei, which really made him feel incomprehensible.

Is the Chinese kid so fast?

Schumacher questioned inwardly, he was not very convinced of the authenticity of this result.

Soon reality told Schumacher an answer, he was not only so fast, but also faster!

On the fiftieth lap of the race, the 11th turn of the track, the angle of this corner is not very large, and it is normally passed at a speed of 130 km/h in third gear.

At the same time, this corner is not a conventional overtaking point, because the track line is not complicated enough, and the speed is not too fast, and it is easy to be accelerated by the car in front to block the car first.

However, at this time, Schumacher did not take it lightly, because he knew the character of the Chinese boy, as long as there was a chance in any corner, he would try his best to overtake.

Therefore, when Schumacher is taking the corner, whether it is entering or exiting the corner, he tries to get as close to the inner parapet as possible on the track, and does not allow Zhang Yifei to fly off the inside line. Even if there is really no way, the parking space route he set aside is not clean and regular, and it is extremely risky to overtake.

As usual, taking advantage of the opportunity to slow down in the corner, Zhang Yifei narrowed the distance between him and Schumacher and put on a posture of wanting to attack.

Schumacher didn't take Zhang Yifei's oppressive behavior seriously, because this Chinese kid has this virtue in almost every corner, and he has long been accustomed to it.

But at this moment, Zhang Yifei directly grabbed the inside line, even if there was only space worthy of a parking space, Zhang Yifei gritted his teeth and rode up the slope shoulder, and the two cars entered the No. 11 corner side by side.

The principle of "tapping" is the same as that of "ejection effect", which is to use the low-pressure area formed behind the car at high speed.

The area of this low-pressure area is very small, only about one meter of space, once you enter this space, it will generate a kind of suction, which instantly increases the speed of the car behind.

Eating the wake to overtake on the straight is mostly called "catapult", and eating and staying in the low-pressure area in the curve is called "tapping". Because in the process of entering the corner, it is much more difficult to maintain an accurate distance of about 1 meter than the slingshot effect on the straight.

After all, the car in front of you is decelerating and changing lanes, and any change in handling may lead to a change in the low-pressure area, or even a rear-end collision.

And Zhang Yifei's precise corner tapping, and squeezed into the narrow line on the inside, the control is really a bit amazing, so that many professionals on the track can't help but gasp!
