Zhang Yifei kept hitting the steering wheel with the brakes, and stabilized the Prost racing car, which was very powerful in the "pendulum", little by little.

But his wonderful ambulance behavior was not greeted with cheers and applause, but ridicule from all sides.

Because Barrichello overtook him, it meant that Zhang Yifei lost in the practice matchup.

"Blundell, the Chinese newcomer you are optimistic about, still can't."

Gonzalez said in a smug tone, without giving the F1 gold medal commentator any face.

Barrichello's overtaking just now was really beautiful, quickly changing lanes to the outermost, and then judging Zhang Yifei's hard fighting psychology, accurately hitting Zhang Yifei's front wheel with the middle of the body, and finally completing the overtaking.

Whether it's the veteran collision experience or the precise control of the car, it shows the strength of one of the top drivers in the F1 paddock at the moment.

It can be said that Zhang Yifei is still a little too tender in front of Barrichello, if it weren't for the fact that the practice match was inconsequential, but put it in the main competition to compete for the ranking, maybe Barrichello would have already done Zhang Yifei.

After Senna, Brazil's driver with the best chance of competing for the world championship is that this year's Barrichello is stronger than last year's and already has a championship appearance.

In the face of Gonzalez's ostentatious tone, Blundell did not argue head-on.

Because the result on the track has already appeared, that is, Barrichello overtook Zhang Yifei, and he became the winner of the practice session.

Maybe behind this victory, there are many objective advantages, such as this is Barrichello's home stadium, and the audience can give him more support. Moreover, he is a veteran in the F1 paddock, with far more experience than Zhang Yifei, and his track proficiency is not comparable to that of newcomers.

It can even be said that the car is ahead of the curve, otherwise it would not be possible to rely on the longer line on the outer ring and be able to cornering faster than the inner circle.

But so what?

The F1 paddock itself is not an absolutely fair arena. Barrichello has these advantages, which he has spent seven years running on the track, and Zhang Yifei has the ability to find a way to enter the Ferrari or McLaren team and drive the fastest car.

There is no reason to find a loser, and Blundell is not Zhang Yifei or anything, he is at most optimistic about the potential of this Chinese newcomer, let alone find a way to defend him.

"It's true that compared to Barrichello, the rookie driver still has a lot of shortcomings, and maybe the remarks after the Malaysian race are a bit too arrogant."

Blundell said his thoughts in an objective tone, Zhang Yifei's rookie performance in the first two stops of the season was really good, but he felt that he could defeat Barrichello, which was a little exaggerated.

Even if the remarks at that time were just in the face of media interviews, I built up my self-confidence. After all, it is impossible to say in front of reporters that he can't outrun Barrichello and has no hope of defeating his opponent.

But at this stage, it doesn't matter what was said in that situation.

Winning is self-confidence, losing is arrogance, and competitive sports also follow the theory of winning and losing.

"Hmph, the rookie also wants to beat the strongest driver in Brazil, and today's lesson made him recognize the reality well!"

Hearing that Blundell did not argue with him head-on, Gonzalez became even more arrogant, completely ignoring Zhang Yifei, and even lost a game commentator, at least impartiality.

At Gonzalez's unprofessional words, Blundell's face showed a kind of unhappiness. But after all, this is on the chassis of Brazil, and it is also someone else's exit track, and the two of them only partner in one commentary, so there is no need to tear your skin and point it out.

So Blundell just shook his head and chose to remain silent.

But the overtaking on the Barrichello circuit and Gonzalez's arrogant commentary directly ignited the emotions of the Brazilian audience.

"Where did the Chinese rookie get the confidence to dare to challenge Barrichello, let's eat exhaust!"

"In an interview with Sports Illustrated at this level, I dare to say that I can challenge Schumacher, which is worthy of coming from China, which has zero foundation in the equation."

"The Chinese get out of Brazil, don't be embarrassed here!"

"It's a shame I didn't knock the fly off the track."

All kinds of taunts sounded, and this time on the track, there was no longer that area of Chinese red.

Because Brazil is too far away from China, many fans are powerless to come and support. Moreover, as a developing country with poor public security, the number of overseas Chinese is also extremely limited, and it is difficult to form a scale among the audience on the track.

At most, you can see a few Chinese businessmen who came to Brazil to do business, waving small national flags to cheer for Zhang Yifei. However, the sporadic number is placed among tens of thousands, which is really inconspicuous, and there is almost no way to make your voice heard.

This is not to say that there are no red zones in the stands, on the contrary, the red zones on the track are very large and conspicuous.

It's just that they are not Chinese red, but Ferrari red, as one of the three giants in the current F1 paddock, and has won the constructors' championship title for two consecutive years, Ferrari's popularity can be described as booming.

With avid Ferrari fans on almost any F1 circuit, and Barrichello is also a Ferrari driver, it's no surprise that there are so many Ferrari fans at Interlagos today.

Whether it is his ridicule or the cheers for Barrichello, Zhang Yifei, who is driving a car at the moment, has no time to pay attention to these at all.

After recovering the car, even if it was only a second or so of deceleration, Barrichello opened up a large distance.

may be unconvinced, or it may be unwilling to fail, Zhang Yifei did not give up at this moment, he stepped on the accelerator and continued to chase after Barrichello.

A true F1 driver should never give up until the last minute.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei at this time actually has little chance of winning. Barrichello himself is indeed ahead of Zhang Yifei in all aspects, if it is placed on an equally unfamiliar track, and then add abnormal weather, such as rain battles and strong winds, Zhang Yifei may still have a bit of hope for a Jedi turnaround.

But on Barrichello's home track, he will not give Zhang Yifei any chance, and it is unrealistic to expect a mistake to turn the tables.

However, a strange scene appeared, after Barrichello took the lead, his speed suddenly slowed down, and Zhang Yifei quickly caught up.

But just when Zhang Yifei was about to overtake, Barrichello suddenly accelerated his speed and accurately blocked the car in front of Zhang Yifei, not giving him any space to overtake.

And this kind of operation has been done more than once, Zhang Yifei's continuous overtaking has been blocked, and Barrichello's move means obviously, he is really "playing" Zhang Yifei.

"Barrichello's move is excessive, if you put aside the home field and experience advantage, he really can't really be better than Fei."

Nicky Lauda, CEO of the Jaguar team, saw this scene on the track and began to fight for Zhang Yifei.

He was a driver who exemplified the tenacity and tenacity of F1, and even when he was seriously injured in a fire and disfigured, he returned to the track a few months later to continue to compete in F1 and eventually become a world champion.

So he has the feelings of a warrior, Barrichello can defeat the newcomer with his own strength, but deliberately doing this kind of "playing" action is a very LOW behavior.

Because what he occupies is nothing more than some experience and an advantage in racing, if he is given a few years to fly and the two sides stand on the same starting line, Lauda believes that with Zhang Yifei's potential, Barrichello will not necessarily be his opponent.

"Who told him to have this strength now?"

Jaguar team manager Gernser Steiner shrugged his shoulders and responded to Nicky Lauda's displeasure in a nonchalant tone.

Steiner was the manager of Stewart's team, and after Stewart's acquisition by Jaguar and its name was changed to Jaguar F1 Team, he became team manager, representing the Stewart faction and the European power of the Jaguar team.

Nicky Lauda is the CEO of Ford Racing Detroit, and in a sense, he represents the power of the parent company Ford of the United States to integrate European forces.

Therefore, the two sides are natural opposites, which also became a fuse for the division of the Jaguar team in the future.

There is no room for two tigers, and whether Lauda is right or not, Steiner will habitually take a position against it.

For Steiner's attitude, Lauda, who has been in the Jaguar team for more than half a year, has long been accustomed to it, and he doesn't want to deal with this Brit at all. He just felt sorry for Zhang Yifei, if he was given another year or two to grow, the future would be unstoppable, and Barrichello would not be his opponent.

And the more dazzling Zhang Yifei's performance is, the more uncomfortable the regret hidden in Lauda's heart becomes. At the beginning, he should have been decisive, even if he turned his face with the Europeans, he had to sign Zhang Yifei.

Lauda has always believed that the Chinese newcomer has unlimited potential and could become the next superstar driver in Formula 1.

It's just that there is no if in this world, and Lauda, who had just joined the Jaguar team at that time, didn't even stand firm on his heels, where did he have the strength to single-handedly confront the Europeans.

If the two sides really turn the other cheek, Ford, the parent company of the United States, will most likely stand on the side of the Europeans.

The reason is simple, the team's interests are more important than the individual, the European members are the basis of the Jaguar team, and Lauda is just a professional manager.

On the track, just as Zhang Yifei was chasing aggrievedly, Cossel's voice came from inside the headphones.

"Fly, get ready to pit stop."
