In the 2001 season, Montoya relied on the astonishing overtaking of the Brazilian Grand Prix, and gave Schumacher, who won six consecutive races and led almost every race, so that fans around the world knew the Colombian driver.

The history of this world has changed, and the addition of Zhang Yifei has made Montoya famous in advance, but it is more of a negative impact, similar to Zhang Yifei's stepping stone.

After all, the Indy world champion driver was completely defeated by a Chinese newcomer in the two races, and it is impossible to say where to put it, and even Colombian fans are embarrassed to brag.

So at this stop, in fact, most viewers are not very optimistic about Montoya, let alone think that he has the strength to challenge Schumacher. The best expectation for Montoya before the race is that he can complete his revenge on Zhang Yifei, and the glory of the American driver and the championship of the Interlagos circuit should be handed over to Barrichello.

But what happened on the track today was so exaggerated that the crowd couldn't react.

The world's top drivers like Coulthard failed to start, Ralph Schumacher was actually crushed by the Chinese newcomer in cornering speed, and Kimi Raikkonen, a super newcomer who created miracles, was even more engaged, and he could step on the brakes and lock the tires when he cornered!

The occurrence of one track incident after another has simply surprised some spectators, is there any weird magic in the Brazilian Grand Prix, and can there be so many accidents?

If what happened before was acceptable to the audience, then what is happening now, with more than 100,000 spectators in the track, it feels like they are watching a science fiction movie, which is really a little unreal.

Montoya actually overtook Zhang Yifei and Coulthard at the start in the first lap, and shortly after Senna bent over, he inexplicably overtook Barrichello to second, and now he has caught up with Schumacher, and the attack is very strong.

Is the Colombian ready to take to the skies at Interlagos?

It may be that the situation changed so quickly that even the Colombian fans on the scene were a little stunned and forgot to cheer for Montoya. As for the Brazilian fans, it is even more embarrassing, many people are shouting slogans of glory of the Americas, but in their hearts they have no intention of sharing the championship of the Brazilian Grand Prix with the Colombians.

Now that Montoya is ahead, should he cheer for him, or should he cheer for Barrichello to come back, this is a more embarrassing choice, no one thought that the League of Glory of the Americas would break down so quickly.

"I can't believe it, I really can't believe that there are so many wonderful stories happening on the first lap of Brazil!"

"At this moment, Montoya finally showed his strength as an Indy World Champion, and began to take advantage of the power advantage of the BMW engine, and frantically chased after the pole sitter Schumacher."

"This is the first time since the start of the new Formula 1 season that Schumacher has faced the challenge of a rookie driver. It will be interesting to see whether Schumacher will defend his position as the absolute king of the circuit, or whether Montoya will be able to show his glory as an American driver at the circuit in Brazil. ”

Blundel's commentary was very exciting, because the scene on the track today was far more intense than expected. It's not just the battle between newcomers, but even the first group riders who used to be "high" are beginning to face the challenge of the second group drivers!

If Montoya can overtake Schumacher today, there is no doubt that he will be the brightest driver in the Brazilian Grand Prix!

Montoya's face also showed a flush at the moment, in addition to the hot weather in Brazil, it was more of an inner excitement.

It was the first time he had been able to move to second place in the qualifying position, and he had the chance to challenge the best driver in the F1 paddock at the moment. And compared to other places, Montoya is full of confidence in the Interlagos circuit.

Now that the opportunity to become famous is in front of you, Montoya will never let it be missed from her hands!

While Montoya was frantically chasing Schumacher, Zhang Yifei was also constantly closing the distance with Sauber's Heidenfeld.

Compared with the career trajectory of the average rookie-peak-decline, Heidfeld follows the line of crash-rookie peak-decline. He can be said to be at the peak of his debut, and then because his own ceiling is like this, there is no way to go further.

For Zhang Yifei, Heindfeld is the first driver he knew in the F1 paddock, and in a sense, the two have been teammates for a few days. It's just that this kind of nominal teammate naturally has no friendship, and Zhang Yifei wants to surpass him, and he is absolutely unrelenting.

Watching the Prost car behind him approach quickly, the expression on Heidefeld's face was also serious.

He is a professional driver, and he will not judge Zhang Yifei's driving skills and strength purely by his own preferences like ordinary audiences. There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei is now one of the strongest drivers among the newcomers, and in some respects, he has even surpassed the world champion Montoya.

For Zhang Yifei's impression, Heidenfeld is actually not very deep, but he just saw it in the headquarters building. At that time, he had already torn his face with Alessi, thinking about how to terminate his contract with the team, and he was not in the mood to pay attention to a rookie driver.

Even in Heidfeld's initial judgment, Zhang Yifei may have taken a fancy to the Chinese sponsorship behind him and let him join the team. Otherwise, how can an F1 team let a Chinese newcomer join?

But now, Heidfeld will no longer question Zhang Yifei's strength, so when he saw Zhang Yifei quickly close the distance, he was directly ready to fight with all his might!

The two cars began to chase wildly on the track, but when they passed Turn 3, they faced the second long straight of Interlagos.

Zhang Yifei's exit speed at Turn 3 was actually faster than Heidfeld's, but Sauber Racing got Ferrari engines this year, and the two drivers were in their prime, Zhang Yifei couldn't close the distance with Heidenfeld on the long straight.

However, when the long straight is over, the next step is to face the multiple bends of the Interlagos circuit. This is the special feature of the Brazilian circuit, the straights and corners are in a five-to-five layout, and they are also clearly divided into two parts, which makes it very difficult for the team to choose the suspension and formulate a strategy.

Heidefeld and Zhang Yifei rushed into the multi-curved section one after the other, Zhang Yifei was no longer polite at this time, and directly bit the rear of Heidefeld's car with a foot of floor oil, and began to overtake.

"Nick, keep your own line, don't give the Chinese kid behind you any chance!"

Sauber team manager Bit, reminded Heidenfeld loudly through the voice system that he knew that Zhang Yifei was not a rookie, and if he was a little more careless, he would give the Chinese kid a chance.

Heidenfeld performed well in these two races, but the gap with Zhang Yifei's results is still obvious, and the previous miserable performance in the Prost team, the Sauber team is actually not very confident in him.

After all, they don't have Zhang Yifei's god vision, and they don't know that Heidfeld is at the peak of his debut, and this season is one of his best seasons.

Not to mention the Sauber team, even Heidenfeld himself doesn't think that Zhang Yifei can be guarded against casually. So he simply gave up the idea of competition, took a defensive line, and stood in front of Zhang Yifei.

To be honest, this tactical strategy, for Heidfeld, also worked. He is not a talented driver himself, and his career performance is only at the mid-range level, if he really has a crazy race with Zhang Yifei, it is not in line with his driving habits and style.

And this is exactly what Zhang Yifei is willing to see, although his career is pitifully short, it is no problem to call it hob meat. The three stops have not yet been completed, and if you count the practice sessions, there have been four or five crashes, large and small, far more than the frequency of accidents for other newcomers.

If the F1 organization has a crash frequency statistics, Zhang Yifei will definitely come out on top, and the last thing he is afraid of is that others are tough with him, and it's a big deal to have a bumper car.

Heidfeld's defensive line, coupled with the narrow road surface of the Interlagos circuit, Zhang Yifei tentatively attacked a few times, and it was really not a simple matter to overtake it.

His catch-up momentum was also curbed, and he had to follow Heidfeld in a stalemate and run two laps around the track.

Zhang Yifei didn't find a chance to overtake Heidfeld, but Ralph Schumacher caught up again.

At this moment, Schumacher's heart was full of fighting spirit, although he couldn't hear the commentary and the audience's questioning voices, but he knew in his heart that his performance in Senna was unqualified.

As an F1 veteran, how can he be thrown off by a newcomer like Zhang Yifei in terms of cornering hard power?

"Fly, Turn 9 4th gear 190, the right side of the wall line overtakes Heidenfield, don't give Ralph behind any chance to fight!"

Seeing Schumacher Jr. catch up, Kossel gave the order to overtake directly in the pits.

He understands Ralph Schumacher's strength, and the No. 1 Senna bend was thrown off by Zhang Yifei, which is definitely not how big the gap is in the hard power of the two people, but the chaos of his own line caused by the failure of Schumacher Jr.'s overtaking.

This time he came back menacingly, absolutely serious and fierce, if he was dragged by Schumacher Jr., he would widen the gap with the driver in front.

In Korcel's heart, Zhang Yifei's opponent is surnamed Schumacher, but he is definitely not called Ralph, but Michael!

"Mentor, it's too risky to overtake at this speed against the wall, and once you make a mistake, the car will really be ruined!"

Yamamoto Ukyo, who was next to him, heard this order, and even if he was not a member of the strategy team, he couldn't help but stand up and dissuade Koser.

Because sticking to the wall means that there is no buffer zone, if this speed hits the protective wall, no frame can stop this impact!
