Willy mentioned Alonso's name at this time, because just when everyone's attention was on the fierce battle for Turn 1 in the front row, Alonso, who was ranked seventh, had quietly overtaken Ralph Schumacher and moved to sixth place.

Zhang Yifei is very strong, this is basically the consensus of the track, no one will treat this Chinese kid as a rookie in China at the beginning, unless he deliberately uses this term to humiliate.

But Alonso's cuisine, at least in the F1 range, is basically the same thing. After all, the driver at the bottom, if you want to say how strong he is, it is estimated that he will not be able to find a place to blow.

The dismissal of Alessi by Prost Racing in the new season is a normal move in the eyes of many people, and even an inevitable thing.

One is that Alesi is injured on the track, and it takes time to recuperate, which will affect the state of the race, and the other is that his strength is obviously unable to keep up with Zhang Yifei's pace, and the Prost team will inevitably choose stronger drivers if they want to achieve better results.

It's just that no one thought that the Prost team didn't even choose Massa, but signed a "vegetable and jumping" driver like Alonso, which is simply incomprehensible to the Prost team, what kind of snack is playing.

However, there were rumors later through the grapevine that Alonso joined the Prost team, and Zhang Yifei insisted on it by himself. Even the driver Fei said that Alonso can match himself to challenge the strongest Ferrari duo on the track.

At that time, many people heard this rumor, and basically no one took it seriously, even if it was true, more people thought that Zhang Yifei had a problem with his head. A driver who doesn't even want the Minardi team can still challenge the Ferrari duo, this is a dream that has not woken up, right?

But from the beginning of the rookie test drive, Alonso seemed to be transformed, showing unexpected strength.

Immediately after the winter test, practice session, and qualifying session, Alonso entered the ranks of mid-to-upper drivers with very stable results. If one is lucky by chance, then it is impossible for so many accidental things to happen with continuous stable results.

Now it's even more on the track, surpassing a top driver like Ralf Schumacher, which is simply a big surprise!

So Willie recalled the previous rumor, could there really be a day in the F1 paddock to witness the scene of the Prost twin stars vs. Ferrari?

Minardi could still look at Zhang Yifei's performance objectively, but when he heard the name Alonso, his face instantly became ugly. Because Alonso disobeyed the team's orders at the beginning, Minardi, the boss, could not get off the stage, so his impression of Alonso can be described as extremely poor!

"Don't you know what the Spaniard does in the team? Now that he's at the top of the rankings, it's more because of the performance of Prost's new car, and I don't believe he's going to be able to challenge Barrichello. ”

After saying that, Minardi also added: "Prost is really lucky, and they also reached a contract with Ferrari to supply the engine, who would have thought that this year's Ferrari engine is so strong." ”

Faced with the boss blaming Alonso's excellent performance on the performance of the car, Willy just smiled and was smart not to argue.

However, this conversation listened to the ears of Madu in the back, and it was simply angry!

FUCK, I thought that the Minardi team didn't want a cancer, and going to the Prost team would become a time bomb.

As a result, not only did it not bring down the Prost team, but on the contrary, it became more and more courageous, and he may become a good helper for the Chinese Yankees and a good wingman for the second!

For Madu, there is an uncomfortable feeling of stealing chickens and rice. Now he doesn't count on the drivers of his team, he only hopes that the Big Three teams and the Yankees can severely sanction Zhang Yifei's rising trend.

After all, only Zhang Yifei failed to balance his own image of a coward.

Zhang Yifei stabilized the situation on the track, but Montoya behind him had a green face. He can be said to have watched as Zhang Yifei let Barrichello overtake, and then completed the line change to block himself.

Ruthless enough! Is it just to stop me? Then let's see how long you can stop me this time!

Montoya picked up speed as soon as he came out of the corner, ready to attack Zhang Yifei, but at this moment, he saw a double yellow flag light up next to the track, and the safety car began to move, stopping his overtaking move.

Because at this moment at the first turn of the track, not only did Helio and Zhang Yifei collide, but the collision of the drivers behind was even more ferocious.

Jordan driver Trulli, Turn 1 is ready to surpass Sauber's Massa, because he feels that even if Massa is an F3000 champion driver, he is just a rookie egg in F1, and he is ready to use him as a soft persimmon.

What Trulli didn't expect was that Massa was far tougher than he thought, and the line was very resolute, even when he was about to collide, he didn't back down in the slightest.

At this time, Trulli could only choose to retreat, but the steering wheel was a little larger, and the grip of the corners was insufficient, so he skidped, and he slid directly at the first turn and flicked up, and the Jaguar driver Erwin in the rear car couldn't dodge and hit the rear of Trulli directly.

However, this is only the beginning, and the Toyota driver Takuma Sato, who is further behind, does not have the slightest idea of slowing down in the face of this kind of corner crash scene, and just turns as usual.

Takuma Sato was indeed quite reckless, and he was lucky, but he was so reckless that he brushed two out-of-control cars.

Behind Takuma Sato was Mark Webber from the Minardi team, who was not so lucky, and was hit by the out-of-control Trulli and stopped directly on the track.

Mark Webb's sudden braking action made the Jaguar driver Burti behind him completely unable to react, and he directly rear-ended on the track. Four cars collided in a row, almost blocking the first corner, and the riders behind could only slowly make a detour through the corner.

This kind of serious track accident naturally affected the normal progress of the game, so the referee outside the field played a double yellow flag, and the safety car began to be dispatched.

At this time, the safety car was dispatched, in a sense, it was beneficial to Zhang Yifei, who could finally recover from the previous loss of control and seriously feel the changes in the rear wheels of the car.

If it feels that the rear wheel has a relatively large deformation, then Zhang Yifei can use this time to pit for maintenance. Even if the outbound may be the last, at least it is not far behind, which is not the worst situation.

In comparison, Helio, who was in the lead car, looked at the safety car in front of him, and instantly had a feeling that he was about to explode.

He planned to take advantage of the opportunity to surpass Zhang Yifei, and quickly took advantage of the speed advantage of the first car to distance himself from the riders behind. As a result, as soon as the safety car is deployed, it is equivalent to shortening the distance between the driver and the driver behind him.

And it's even more serious, that is, Zhang Yifei, a Chinese guy, actually let Barrichello go. This meant that at the very close distance after the press, he would be attacked by two Ferrari drivers.

In the entire F1 paddock, no one dared to say that they could easily hold off the attacks of the two Ferrari drivers. Obviously, Zhang Yifei's last operation belongs to Lao Tzu's bad time, and you don't have to think about good thinking, you would rather let yourself be ranked one lower, and let Barrichello disgust yourself.

Fortunately, Zhang Yifei didn't know what Helio was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have to come up with a denial triple: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!

In fact, Zhang Yifei really didn't have this kind of thought, but it did objectively cause the scene where Helio would face the two Ferrari drivers. As for Zhang Yifei, it is actually not very easy, after all, even if Helio loses his identity as the first car, he also has to face two Ferrari drivers in his peak season!

The only way to remedy this disadvantage is to let Alonso rush up and fight side by side with him, as Zhang Yifei originally envisioned, to form a two-on-two format in advance to challenge the two Ferrari rivals.

But the problem is that his own manipulation to stimulate Alonso's potential has made the relationship between the two extremely stiff. Not to mention fighting side by side to challenge the Ferrari duo, Zhang Yifei even suspected that if there was a chance, Alonso would even give priority to killing himself!

After all, for an F1 driver, the biggest enemy is his teammates.

Just like Zhang Yifei didn't know what Helio thought, Montoya, who was behind him at the moment, watched Alonso behind his car catch up, and the expression on his face was also a little dignified.

Originally, the starting struggle between Alonso and Ralph Schumacher allowed Montoya to pull away a little. As a result, now that the safety car is out and Alonso is close behind him, the pressure on himself will increase exponentially when the driver in front of him speeds and the two Prost drivers join forces.

So Montoya was in her heart, and she began to think about how she would get out of this situation when the safety car was over.

Montoya thought of the best way to let Ralph Schumacher attack drag Alonso further on, forcing him into the grappling mode of blocking the car, and he could better attack Zhang Yifei.

It's just that Ralph Schumacher is the team's No. 1 driver, and it is difficult to get the team's support for this tactical strategy to make him sacrifice to drag Alonso.

The more dramatic way of the team is to let Montoya give up chasing Zhang Yifei, and cooperate with Ralph Schumacher to deal with Alonso with all his might, and let the two drivers of his team converge first.

But the problem is that Montoya doesn't want to give up this opportunity to catch up with Zhang Yifei, and more importantly, Montoya at this moment is actually a little unconvinced by Ralph Schumacher in his heart!

He is an Indy World Champion and was only slightly behind Ralph Schumacher in points last season, and only if the team's resources are fully tilted towards the opposition.

In the new season this year, whether it is the winter test or qualifying, he is ahead of Ralf Schumacher. Why is he the No. 2 driver and wants to be his wingman at a critical moment, is it because he is the younger brother of Michael Schumacher?

If two people are allowed to compete fairly on the track, and if the team's resources can be tilted in their favor, Montoya believes that he can crush Ralph Schumacher by speaking with strength.

The convoy is unfair, and I Montoya is not convinced!

In the past few laps of the safety car, there were no fierce scenes, but the thoughts in the minds of all the drivers can be described as full of thoughts.

This was the fourth lap of the race, and a green flag appeared on the track indicating that the accident obstacle had been cleared. This is when all the drivers start to concentrate their attention, and the moment the safety car leaves the track, it means that a big battle is coming.

However, at this time, Zhang Yifei's headset sounded the team's command, but this instruction was not given to Zhang Yifei, but the second driver Alonso.

"Alonso, after the safety car is evacuated, you will find a way to suppress the driver behind the car and, if you can, drag Montoya as well."

Prost's emotionless voice sounded, this is the order given as the team boss, he asked Alonso to play the role of wingman to help Zhang Yifei block the threat from behind.

Even if his strength allows, he dragged Montoya in front of him, so that Zhang Yifei could attack Barrichello with confidence.

As for letting Zhang Yifei cooperate with the car, Prost didn't think about it, because behind him was Ralph Schumacher of the Williams team. As the No. 2 driver, Montoya must slow down and play the role of his wingman at this time, can it be said that Zhang Yifei will slow down, and the four of them will be frantically blocking each other here?

In Prost's heart, he has never liked Alonso very much, and the importance of this Spanish kid is far less than that of the No. 1 driver. If one had to be sacrificed, then let Alonso get caught between the two Williams drivers and create a chance for Zhang Yifei to pull the distance.

Hearing Prost's team command, there was an instant silence in the voice system, and Alonso did not respond. Obviously, he didn't want to take orders from such a pure wingman, he wanted to overtake Montoya and fight for his own victory!

In fact, in Zhang Yifei's heart, he was not happy in the face of such a team order. It can even be said that Zhang Yifei can accept that he has made a little sacrifice, blocking the car Montoya and letting Alonso rush up to complete the convergence of the two Prost drivers.

It's just that Zhang Yifei is not sure that he has such a "great" mind, whether Alonso will have it. What if this kid comes to his car and thinks that instead of temporarily cooperating and catching up with the Ferrari driver in front of him to attack, what if he starts a battle directly against himself?

In the history of F1, there are countless scenes of this kind of "outside must first be inside" in the team, it is easy to talk when it is friendly, and teammates are used to cushion it when it is not friendly!

Just when Zhang Yifei was hesitating whether he wanted to take the initiative to say something, he heard Alonso's voice from the voice of the team, which was just a simple word.

"Okay."
