Although Zhang Yifei is a newcomer, the reaction advantage brought by his young age, coupled with the start, has always been one of his strengths. So even in the race against these world's top F1 drivers, he still did not fall behind in the slightest and stabilized his ranking.

The traffic began to sprint forward frantically, starting with two fiery red Ferraris, and Schumacher at the peak would not give his opponent any chance, let alone be overtaken at the start.

Seriously, Barrichello can only be regarded as a mid-range driver, but in the past few years as Schumacher's green leaf, coupled with the performance of Ferrari vehicles, he has also reached the peak of his career.

Basically, during the Ferrari dynasty, Barrichello had a consistent record in the top three drivers. In many cases, there is a bonus between the driver and the team, and once the dynasty is formed, that unstoppable momentum can allow a midstream driver to reach the upstream stage.

Zhang Yifei drove the blue Prost racing car, accelerating and upshifting frantically to maintain his speed and ranking. Behind him is Montoya from the Williams team, the Big Three team plus the championship title of Indy 500, and Montoya, who is also a newcomer, showed an extremely strong desire to attack, and after the start, he bit Zhang Yifei tightly and showed an offensive.

This is the difference between Formula 1 and Junior Formula 1, and every driver can describe it as "a master of the arts". Even at the start, there has been a fierce offensive and crazy overtaking, especially for the middle group drivers, and the rankings are constantly changing.

Not to be outdone, not only Montoya, but also Kimi and former Drivers' Championship winner Villeneuve stepped into a tie-up position with one foot on the accelerator, intending to take the line before the first corner and force their rivals to give way to overtake.

The competitive pressure and the oppression of the opponent's offense kept hitting Zhang Yifei. Neither practice nor qualifying had ever started at the same time.

After all, practice races and qualifying races in this era can be stopped at any time, and you only need to run your fastest lap, so there is no need for such fierce competition. If it causes any damage to the car or injury to the driver, it is more than worth the loss.

"Damn, don't you want to be so fierce!"

Zhang Yifei felt Montoya, Kimi, and Villeneuve up and down beside him, and couldn't help muttering in his heart. He was surpassed by others side by side several times at the start, but fortunately, Zhang Yifei has always stabilized his line, seized the advantage and overtook it again, and several people fought fiercely.

Standing in the pit, Ah Hu, looking at the picture broadcast on the big screen on the track, he also really felt the tension and intensity of the F1 race for the first time. Unexpectedly, Feige, who could easily start and lead in the primary event before, and even overtake, is now competing so hard, and he was almost surpassed by his opponent.

No, it's been surpassed by the opponent!

Just when Ah Hu looked at the big screen, Montoya in the back found the right opportunity, and when he entered the corner, he changed lanes with a catapult, directly seizing a more advantageous inside line. Because the front of the car has exceeded Zhang Yifei's rear wheel, according to the rules, Zhang Yifei can no longer change lanes to defend at this time.

So he could only watch Montoya overtake from the corner and then get ahead of him.

"No, Fei Ge can actually be surpassed!"

Ah Hu opened his mouth wide in surprise and looked at the broadcast screen on the track with an expression of disbelief.

You must know that since entering the Prost team, Zhang Yifei has beaten Alessi even though he is just a newcomer, and he has been steadily improving in all aspects.

Even when he came to the Albert Park circuit, from practice to qualifying, Zhang Yifei was still improving. This feeling of smooth sailing, Zhang Yifei has not had time to float, Ah Hu, the number one horse boy, has already floated, and it is decided that Fei Ge's strength will definitely be able to run well in the race, and maybe he can even get on the podium.

As a result, reality gave a blow to the head, Zhang Yifei, who has always only surpassed others, was overtaken by Montoya in the first corner!

He was recognized by a well-known driver, and now Ah Hu also knows how strong Schumacher is. But it is said that this ghost guy is also a newcomer, so he can surpass Phineas?

"On the F1 track, it's strange to be overtaken, Yifei is still a newcomer, don't be surprised."

Chen Zhi stopped Ah Hu, after all, he is much older, and he has communicated with the chief technician Charlie a lot during this time, and he understands F1 racing better.

There will be a period of adaptation in the rookie stage, even if he was as strong as Schumacher back then, he didn't finish a lap in the first race.

As long as Zhang Yifei can finish the race normally today, he can be regarded as qualified from the perspective of the team, and he can run in the top ten to be excellent. Getting points would be worthy of the title of Renault's Super Rookie, and as for the podium or something, the Prost team didn't think about this possibility.

Not to mention surpassing Zhang Yifei, the world champion of the Indy 500, who signed an agreement with the Williams team three years ago to become their test driver. So Montoya came into contact with F1 racing earlier than everyone thought, and he can't be seen in the eyes of a regular newcomer.

Hearing Chen Zhi's warning, although Ah Hu was still very unconvinced that Zhang Yifei was overtaken, he could only hold back what he wanted to say. After all, his current identity is no longer the original apprentice, but the official maintenance technician of the F1 team.

There are a lot of team members around now, and everyone is watching the race and getting ready for the pit stop, so it's not the time to chat.

Montoya can surpass herself, to be honest, Zhang Yifei was quite shocked in his heart. He has not despised Montoya before, let alone treated the Colombian superstar as a rookie.

After all, for Sir Williams to give up a potential newcomer like Jenson Button, even without the title of Indy 500, there are definitely two brushes.

As a result, it seems that he still underestimates his opponent a little, and Montoya is really strong. The timing of the overtaking was absolutely milliseconds, and so many cars squeezed into the first corner, and still being able to seize this opportunity, is truly worthy of the Indy 500 world champion.

Zhang Yifei has rarely been overtaken so strongly, and the last time it was when Renault played against Massa. But this kind of thing did not cause him much psychological pressure, as a professional driver, it is necessary to adapt and get used to being surpassed and surpassed, and huge mood swings will only affect calm judgment.

After the first corner, the chaotic side-by-side battle of the start began to end, and all the cars were basically lined up in a long line, starting to rely on more powerful maneuvering and line routing to secure their advantage.

Montoya, who was previously seventh, has already overtaken the past, so Zhang Yi is followed by McLaren's Kimi Raikkkonen.

Zhang Yifei can be said to be extremely familiar with the driver Kimi Raikkonen, and even most spectators and fans often compare the two of them.

But this time, it can be regarded as the first time that Zhang Yifei has a head-to-head duel with Kimi on the track. For Zhang Yifei, he didn't want to hide under the light of Kimi and be called CPOY (Replicator) by the world.

And for Kimi Raikkonen, he is a real super newcomer, and this honor cannot be challenged by others.

So this is destined, there will be a fateful duel between the two people, and now it has come to this point in time.

Kimi Raikkonen, who was in the rear car, began to speed up frantically after the corner, eating Zhang Yifei's tail airflow, and then accelerating to change lanes, wanting to complete the previous Montoya operation and complete the overtaking of Zhang Yifei.

From the time Kimi Raikkonen ate his wake, Zhang Yifei looked in the rearview mirror from time to time to pay attention to his opponent's movements. Seeing that Kimi was about to change lanes and overtake, a sneer appeared on Zhang Yifei's face.

Montoya was overtaken, it can be regarded as his own carelessness and mistake, he has already fallen once in this pit, can he still fall twice in a row in the same pit?

Kimi, you're underestimating me too much, it's not so easy to overtake me.

With a foot on the floor, Zhang Yifei took advantage of the instantaneous acceleration to change lanes, and at the moment when Kimi's front nose still overtook his rear wheel, he blocked in front of his car, forcing Kimi Raikkonen to slow down and give up overtaking.

Obviously, Kimi Raikkonen could not give up just yet, he continued to change lanes and lines, and came to the back of Zhang Yifei's car again, and launched a ferocious attack on him.

Similarly, Zhang Yifei can't let Kimi Raikkonen easily surpass himself, at this moment, both of them are holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, and they both want to defeat each other to prove themselves, so the battle is extremely fierce and exciting.

"It's a battle between the twin stars, it's been a long time since I've seen such a fierce battle between newcomers on the F1 track."

"That's right, now between Fei and Kimi, the smell of gunpowder has been shown."

"Come on Kimi, kill the Chinese and make him understand that he is just a replicant!"

"Fly, block the Finnish BOY, the title of super newcomer is to be defended with strength and prove that you are stronger than him!"

The supporters on the track began to cheer for the two of them frantically after seeing this scene.

It's just that judging from the voice alone, the voice of Kimi's supporters is far beyond Zhang Yifei. After all, Kimi entered the F1 paddock with the aura of "miracle", and his handsome and cold image added a lot of points to him.

At his peak, he was almost able to compete with Schumacher, and it is not surprising that he has many fans and supporters. The current Zhang Yifei's global popularity is still far from him.

But in addition to the battle between Zhang Yifei and Kimi on the track, there is also a hot competition. That's third-placed Jordan's Frenzen, who is heading for second-placed Ferrari's Barrichello.

The intensity of these two people has even surpassed Zhang Yifei and Kimi, and the car was about to collide at one point!
