521 Proving Yourself (Chapter 4)

The indicator light goes off, "Buzz~~!" The engine sound began to roar, Zhang Yifei quickly released the brake, and then stepped on the accelerator, the engine speed exceeded 10,000, and the number on the speedometer broke 100 almost instantly.

Upshifting, continuing to refuel, the speed of the car is still increasing crazily, Zhang Yifei firmly maintained the pole position lead of his head car, and did not give Schumacher in the right rear any chance to overtake.

No matter how confident he is, Zhang Yifei never dared to relax any of his vigilance against Schumacher in the bottom of his heart.

For no other reason, when you really know Schumacher's record, you will understand the terrible German man. In terms of pure control, he surpassed the car god Senna, and the peak brought only despair.

That's why, Zhang Yifei is trying his best to pull sponsorship, and he will also use Ferrari engines next year. Since there is no way to stop Schumacher from driving the rover, then find a way to drive a rover that is the same level as Schumacher, so that at least there is a chance of a fair showdown.

After all, it took three months to prepare for a race, Zhang Yifei could not have a second time, and he would not have the advantage of knowing the track well in the next stop.

Looking at Zhang Yifei's rapid and smooth starting action, Schumacher in the Ferrari car, couldn't help but reveal a kind of appreciation in his heart.

Because this is the first time he has lined up behind Zhang Yifei, he can see his start. After all, Schumacher either got the pole position before, or the qualifying race started in front of Zhang Yifei, how could it be like today, observing the identity of the car?

Schumacher thinks he doesn't despise Zhang Yifei, but he never takes Zhang Yifei as an opponent very seriously. After all, a newcomer who retired from the competition and was at the bottom of the points, if Schumacher was like a big enemy in this performance, then his career may have to be spent in "panic".

But just in Zhang Yifei's starting action, it is not inferior to the first-class drivers on the current track, there are no flaws and redundant operations, and the reaction speed and response are very fast, which can be said to be not inferior to their own starting process.

You must know that Schumacher was very serious about this start, after all, it was a shameless act to be taken pole position in the final stage of qualifying by a newcomer who returned to the track.

can reach the speed of his serious start, Zhang Yifei is good enough!

Schumacher can still look at Zhang Yifei's starting speed with an objective and appreciative attitude, so Montoya and Schumacher Jr. who are further behind are naked desire to fight.

Sir Williams simply gave a "death order" this time, no matter what, he must surpass Zhang Yifei and win this Austrian Grand Prix. Especially Montoya, he can no longer fall behind Zhang Yifei, after all, there are many people who regard him as Zhang Yifei's defeated men.

If she loses this one, Montoya has little chance of competing for the title of the strongest newcomer, and Zhang Yifei will become the brightest new star of this year's F1 season.

Ralph Schumacher, when he is not racing, although he is a child, but once he is on the track, he will still be serious and give his all, which is the basic ethics of a professional driver!

The two of them cooperate with each other to grab space on the track directly side by side, without giving the riders behind them any chance to overtake. Especially Kimi Raikkonen, who is ranked sixth, is ready to eat exhaust gas in the back, Montoya is already at a disadvantage against Zhang Yifei, and he will definitely not let himself have one more Finnish iceman in his victory list!

The expression on Kimi's face was very indifferent to the Williams driver's move to occupy the road and cooperate with the press, he didn't expect the other party to enter the battle so quickly, and he didn't plan to give the riders behind him any chance.

However, Kimi Raikkonen is not too worried, as in third place is his team-mate David Coulthard, who is currently second in the season.

If the Williams team wants to play any team matchup, McLaren, as one of the big three, will not lose to the other side. And in comparison, the McLaren team still occupies an advantageous position, and if it really "fights", it is not necessarily who is afraid of whom!

Although Kimi Raikkonen is a newcomer and is still the No. 2 driver, his status in McLaren is really not low, at least the team chairman Ron Dennis, and the engine supplier Mercedes-Benz's director of motor sports Robert Hauge, do not regard him as a wingman, almost like his own son.

So Coulthard, it's really possible that under the team's instructions, Kimi Raikkonen will block the car, so that he can overtake Williams' two drivers.

Behind Kimi Raikkonen is Scuderia Ferrari's Barrichello.

He had a gloomy look on his face when he saw the Williams team's block moves, even though he was in a similar situation to Kimi Raikkonen, with his teammates in the front row. But the problem is that the team directives will allow Kuthard to match the Finnish newcomers.

Can you get Scuderia Ferrari's strategy team to give instructions for Schumacher to press?

The answer is actually obvious, Schumacher is the ace of the Scuderia Ferrari, and he needs to compete for today's Drivers' Championship title, how can Schumacher slow down and press the car to make way for the No. 2 driver Barrichello?

So Barrichello is bitter in his heart, don't look at his appearance, he is the strongest Ferrari driver, the current level, a strong contender for the world championship.

But the real situation is that he is a wingman and a green leaf, and he is also the kind of No. 2 driver who has no chance of being on the slightest. After all, Schumacher is too strong, and his TOP1 has already opened a notch with the second-place driver, and no one can match him.

No matter who it is, as long as he partners with Schumacher at this stage, it will inevitably be the fate of the green leaf wingman!

If it was an ordinary race, Barrichello probably wouldn't care, he had actually accepted his identity as a green leaf and wingman very calmly, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the Ferrari team for so many years, even if he was dissatisfied with the command to give up the car, he would resolutely stay in Ferrari and rotten money.

But today's race is about his honor as a top driver, and there is no way to surrender to Schumacher. If anyone is not convinced, then you can go up, go to partner Schumacher to try, you can outrun him, you are amazing, surpass the car god!

No matter how Barrichello is, he has his own pride at his peak, and it is impossible to convince a newcomer. Since it has been said before the game that if you want to teach Zhang Yifei a good lesson, you must surpass him once, otherwise you can't even see the taillights in the back, why give others a lesson, it will only become a joke in the future!

So Barrichello is very anxious in his heart, he must find a way to sprint to the front row, defeat Zhang Yifei, a Chinese driver, and avenge the overtaking of the Brazilian Grand Prix, but also to prove his status!

And behind Barrichello is none other than Alessi of the Prost team.

Zhang Yifei is improving, in fact, Alesi is also rejuvenating the second spring, compared with the situation of not getting a point in the previous two years, I don't know how many times stronger. There are already more than a dozen points in hand this season, and in terms of points alone, it is much stronger than Zhang Yifei's 5 points!

But after all, it is the end of his career, and Alessi, even in his prime, is not a top driver. Even in the most glorious moments, Schumacher took the place of Ferrari driver, which became the most humiliating memory of his life.

Therefore, at this stage, Alessi can still score more than a dozen points, which is already a very good performance. At least from the bottom stage, step by step climbed to the middle level.

Zhang Yifei's actions during his recuperation, he actually saw it in his eyes, and opened an investment of 50 million US dollars for the team despite his leg injury, directly saving the Prost team that was on the verge of collapse after being abandoned by Peugeot Group.

And in the process of Zhang Yifei's recuperation, the kind of effort that did not relax for a moment moved and shocked Alessi. At least in his more than ten years of career, he has never seen a rookie wearing a plaster cast being trained by track data.

And as soon as he recovered, Zhang Yifei went to the team headquarters building to open the simulator, and every time he finished the race in Europe, he returned to the French headquarters for a short time to rest, and Alessi could see Zhang Yifei every time.

Alessi knows how important this race is for Zhang Yifei, and it is a proof battle for his return to the track!

Zhang Yifei wants to prove that he was not crushed by a track accident, and wants to prove that he is still the boy chasing the wind on the day he returns. I want to be the strongest newcomer on the track even if I have a nine-game break!

F1 is never a one-man game, it's a team as a whole. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also get a long way ahead.

But the question is, how many riders are there in this crushing class? Even if there were, how many games would it be able to crush like this?

Even Schumacher, the strongest driver on the track right now, would he have been able to dominate the track so smoothly and easily without Barrichello's green leaves in the front row to help him share his firepower?

The answer is obvious, Schumacher dominated the F1 circuit with the strongest green drivers. In the three years that Senna won the championship, his teammates were Prost and Gerhard Berg.

They finished second overall and two fourth-place overall, so they are definitely not the bottom riders, they have always been at the top level.

A strong teammate is indeed a driver's most formidable opponent, but without a strong teammate, the driver's ceiling is not much higher.

Alessi knew he wasn't a top driver, but he didn't want to be a burden to the drag. At least in this game that proves Zhang Yifei's strength, try his best to run to the front row and give the Chinese kid a little help.

After all, he is not alone on the track, and he has a teammate from the Prost team!
