"Why, why is this happening!"

Compared with the carnival of the Prost pit pit, the Renault pit next to it can be described as the end of the world.

Manager Briatoli slammed his fist on the team's console, thinking that the worst-case outcome would be for Zhang to reach the level of Schumacher before and drag Helio with one enemy and two enemies.

As a result, he never expected that the result on the track now would be even worse than the worst he had expected!

"Schumacher would actually cooperate with Fei, is this his revenge on Helio?"

Bob Bell, the technical director next to him, also looked at the display screen in disbelief, he really didn't expect that Michael Schumacher, who is currently standing at the peak of the formula, would choose to help Zhang Yifei and reproduce the scene at the Indy track.

"That's how it should be, after all, Helio is an Indyna."

Executive Director Corbe, also nodded, if there is any biggest advantage of Helio, it must be the identity of the Indy World Champion. But this is also a disadvantage in the F1 paddock, after all, Formula 1 in this era is a hostile camp of the Indo-local program.

More importantly, at last year's US Grand Prix, Helio also provoked Schumacher.

Listening to the conversation between the members of the strategy group next to him, Briatoli didn't have time to think about the hostility anymore, but pressed the call button on the headset and said to Helio.

"Helio, find a way to overtake him back, if it really doesn't work, at least drag him down!"

"Patton, take out your strength on the winter test track and rush to the front row to fight for Renault!"

It had already happened, and as a team manager, Briatoli could only do everything he could to remedy it.

In the past, Schumacher was able to fight one against two, and later in their worst-case scenario, they were all ready for Zhang Yifei to be one against two.

Now that Helio is in the position he envisioned, can't he be better than the Chinese kid and involve two opponents?

The Indy World Champion, the strongest newcomer in the history of Indy, should never be on the F1 track, he is an incapable rookie!

Listening to Briatoli's voice in his ears, Helio didn't reply, because his arrogance was based on his own strength and victory, and now he was put on a swing by Zhang Yifei, stealing chickens and rice, so that Helio had no face to let out any more wild words.

The only thing he can do is to overtake the Chinese kid in front of him and prove that the best American Indyne rider will not be defeated!

On the other side, when Barton heard the instructions of this team, the feelings in his heart were very uncomfortable.

He was supposed to be the No. 1 driver of the Renault team, but this position was taken by Helio, and he was once again humiliated by the Indyman after Montoya.

Barton's personality is not very strong, and he also understands that his current results and strength are very strong to maintain his position as the number one driver, so he can accept his position as the number two driver.

But the problem is that Helio is simply crazy in the team, and he doesn't treat the No. 2 driver as a human being at all. Now that he has been suppressed by the Chinese boy, he wants to rush up to break the siege by himself, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

Even at this moment, in Barton's heart, there is this kind of darkness, aren't you Helio arrogant and arrogant? If you have the ability, you can trample Zhang Yifei who once humiliated you under your feet, why is it the other way around now?

However, the thoughts in his heart, Barton naturally did not show it, he just replied lightly that he knew, and then continued to play at his own pace.

If I really have a chance to sprint to the front row, I, Jenson Barton, will definitely not give Helio to clear the siege as a wingman and compete for the qualification of standing on the podium!

"Helio still underestimated Fei and wanted him to be his wingman, and now it seems that he will be the wingman of Fly."

Blundell looked at the situation on the track and couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, he actually admired Helio's idea, which was a way to break the deadlock, or even work well, and it would kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that no one thought that Zhang Yifei at Turn 13 could overtake two people in a row and regain his own head pole position in one fell swoop. I don't know whether to say that it was Helio's mistake, but I didn't expect Schumacher to fight back in this way.

Still underestimating Zhang Yifei's strength, this Chinese kid is not a driver willing to be manipulated by others from the first day he enters the F1 paddock!

Leo, the Singapore commentator next to him, heard this, and the expression on his face was not very good-looking, but he couldn't say it at the moment. Because Zhang Yifei's overtaking at Turn 13 is so beautiful, he may even be selected for the TOP highlights of F1.

Even this scene has begun to hit Leo's stereotype, he used to think that the poor on the mainland can't eat, and they can see cars on the street, even if they are upper-class people, why does an F1 driver be so powerful.

Could it be that there are really talented drivers in this world?

Blundel's sentiment soon became a reality on the track, and Schumacher, with the F2002 car, was able to do a crazy one-on-two rivalry, dragging both drivers down.

Helio is very strong, and Renault's R202 car this year can definitely compete with the Mars rover. But the problem is that he is still a level away from Schumacher, and he can still rely on the difficulty of overtaking on the track to press the peak driver behind the car.

If you want to suppress Schumacher while dragging Zhang Yifei, that's just a joke!

Moreover, Zhang Yifei uses semi-rain tires, without so many restrictions and concerns as Helio before, he can take the risk of taking some edge lines, and Helio can't stop it at all!

After only half a lap, Helio discovered the essence of his own lack of strength, trying to contain the two of them, but neither of them was pleased. Within half a lap, several corners were almost overtaken by Schumacher, let alone dragging Zhang Yifei.

Without his own personal experience, he will never be able to appreciate Schumacher's strength, you must know that Helio was very unconvinced by Schumacher, and came to the F1 paddock to overthrow him, the so-called strongest driver in Formula 1.

Now he finally recognizes the reality that Schumacher can be recognized as the best driver in the world, not by hype and qualifications, but by strength and four world championship titles!

So Helio finally made a choice, gave up the containment of Zhang Yifei, and blocked Schumacher with all his strength as before. After all, he was able to maintain his second position in the rankings, and if he was whimsical, he would probably be one place behind after the lap had passed.

Once you fall behind Schumacher, it is unimaginably difficult to overtake again, after all, it is much easier to block than to overtake.

Without Helio's containment, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as able to completely let himself go, and the previous script of the Renault team directly made Zhang Yifei the protagonist.

The competition between the drivers was too fierce before, and with the safety car coming out at the start, the gap widened not only widen. Now if Helio can still carry a few laps, then Zhang Yifei will take this opportunity to take the lead and determine the absolute advantage of winning the opening championship!

Zhang Yifei's situation was reversed, and the strategy team of the Prost team all looked at Alonso in the middle of the stream.

Without Montoya's cooperation, it can now be regarded as a heads-up between Alonso and Ralph Schumacher.

Alonso on the track and the irritable and stunned performance during the pit can be described as two people. Even if Williams teamed up to take down behind, he never showed any reckless overtaking, but waited patiently for the opportunity.

So even the team's strategy team was surprised to see Alonso still behind Ralph Schumacher for so many laps without making a dangerous overtaking move.

"Cod, Alonso's usual training state, is it also so smooth?"

Prost asked Alonso's race engineer Ccord, who had always paid little attention to him because he was disgusted with the Spaniard.

According to Prost's impression, Alonso is unruly when he says it sounds good, and he jumps when he says it is bad. He thought that after being overtaken by the Williams driver, and thinking about challenging Zhang Yifei, the Spanish kid would fall into a kind of madness that lost his mind.

Now, it seems that this is not the case at all, and after nearly ten laps, Alonso is still very consistent, firmly biting Ralph Schumacher and not acting aggressively.

"Yes, BOSS, Alonso has always been extremely patient and consistent during training or matching."

Hearing Cod's reply, Prost was simply surprised, he didn't expect that someone like Alonso would have completely different sides on the track.

"Patience and consistency, but how well does his attack and timing do you get past Ralf Schumacher?"

For a driver, it's not about running the whole course behind someone else's butt, it's about constantly overtaking your opponents and hitting the points and even the top podium.

Alonso has been deadlocked for too many laps behind Ralf Schumacher and is one place away from the top six, which is not what Prost wants.

Of course, Prost is not disappointed with Alonso's current performance, after all, he has not had much hope for the Spaniard from the beginning to the end.

"He's very good in attack and timing, I think he can surpass Ralph Schumacher!"

Kod answered in the affirmative at this time, not just because he is Alonso's race engineer, but because he has seen Alonso's efforts and performance on the racing simulator since joining the team last year.

Although this does not mean that Alonso will definitely be able to play during the main match, at least Alonso has the foundation and possibility to do so. So even if Cod knew that Prost didn't like the Spaniard, he was adamant about Alonso!

"Really?"

Prost replied in a puzzled tone, clearly not convinced.

However, when he turned his head to look at the broadcast screen again, he happened to see Alonso catch a loophole in the front car Ralf Schumacher, and overtake with extreme precision and just right!

"Superb, Alonso!"

"Yes, I surpassed Ralph at the beginning, and now I have surpassed him in heads-up, this is definitely hard power!"

"It seems that Fei's vision is right, Alonso is indeed not a rookie."

"If Alonso is willing to be the number two driver, then we at Prost can really challenge the Big Three."

"But the question is, Alonso, who doesn't have fighting spirit, does he still have the strength he has now?"

When the crew saw Alonso overtaking Ralf Schumacher, they were all excited to praise and encourage.

To be honest, Alonso is not very likable in the team, on the one hand, because of Zhang Yifei's relationship, after all, Zhang Yifei helped the Prost team through the most difficult things last year, and all the crew members regarded him as a symbol of hope and spirit.

Alonso challenged Zhang Yifei, and if the crew members wanted a team, they would definitely support Zhang Yifei.

On the other hand, Alonso's personality is really not very likable, and Minardi's reputation for disobedience is not good, so after half a year in the team, he still hasn't integrated in.

But no matter what, he is still a member of Prost, and now seeing him overtake Ralf Schumacher again, the crew is still proud and proud of him!

"Is there really another side to this Spanish kid on the track?"

Looking at Alonso's calm and precise overtaking, Prost couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

There are a lot of people like Alonso in the F1 paddock, such as Montoya, Helio and so on.

However, they can be regarded as "the same on the outside", their off-the-field personalities are arrogant, and their on-field styles are even wilder, and many times they completely ignore any danger, just one word "reckless"!

Alonso is completely different, patiently waiting for the moment and being able to seize the opportunity when it arises. It's all about the potential and ability to be the best driver, and if Alonso can have these characteristics, why did he do so last year?

At the moment, it wasn't just Alonso who overtook him, Montoya also took out Barrichello. It may be that the discomfort with the new car, coupled with the team's overly biased "tool man" instructions, has hindered Barrichello's performance.

In the face of Barrichello's timidity, Montoya's goal is to move forward, he has torn his skin and is ready to challenge the position of the team's No. 1 driver, so Montoya can only keep sprinting forward to make himself run faster!

Under the advantages of the other, Montoya's momentum can be said to have comprehensively crushed Barrichello, don't underestimate the momentum, many times the key point of victory and defeat depends on who has stronger momentum.

Montoya's overtaking is also the bankruptcy of the Ferrari team's plan to join forces, which may be something that the Ferrari strategy team never dreamed of, and the situation has become precarious!

The only thing they were thankful for was that on lap 19, Schumacher overtook Helio and became a fig leaf for Ferrari.

The first person is still the first person after all, and in a one-on-one situation, Schumacher will always be the last guarantee for Ferrari!

Now Montoya is behind Helio, and if nothing else, there will soon be a battle for the "King of India" on the track. The same talented Indy's first year of world championship victory, with the same wild and proud character, finally met head-on in the F1 paddock for the first time.

It is believed that neither Montoya nor Helio will retreat in the face of this kind of battle, and there is always only one title of the best driver in Indy, and it may be time for a "civil war".

Competition in the back row of the paddock was also fierce at the moment, with Kimi Raikkonen and Coulthard finally finishing in the top 10 with a third of the race time in front of Williams' Ralf Schumacher.

I have to say that Ralph Schumacher is not in good form this year, or that this kid is not having a good time.

Ralf Schumacher has always been able to keep his lower limit in the past few years at Williams, giving the team hope of rising or even winning the championship. But at the end of the season each year, his name is never seen in the championship and runner-up competition.

It is precisely because of this that in the end, the Williams team chose to give up, and the Toyota team just lacked a strong driver to join, and signed him with a world championship-level signing fee.

As a result, I didn't expect that this would be a big hole, not to mention a strong contender for the world title, and it would be difficult to even stabilize the midstream later. Without Williams' powerful car, Ralph Schumacher, who drove a Toyota car, could be described as an exposed prototype.

Eventually, after a few years of mixing with the Toyota team, he withdrew from the F1 paddock.

The up-and-coming Finnish Iceman, with the still lingering Kuthard, teamed up to attack Ralph Schumacher, and the result was predictable.

Watching Ralph Schumacher being overtaken by Kimi Raikkonen and Coulthard one after another, Sir Williams in the pit lane was like thunder!

When Montoya wanted to make the next offence, he was still in the shoes of Ralph Schumacher, and although the German driver did not perform well last year, he was fourth in the overall points, which is also a very good result, proving that there is strength and potential.

As a result, he didn't expect that he would be so devastated at the Singapore Grand Prix today, and he was not at all as good as Montoya, who was fighting with the real top drivers in the front row!

For such a result, according to Sir Williams's character, he was absolutely unacceptable.

"Ralph, you have to be in the top six before the game is over, otherwise I'll take Montoya's advice into account!"

Now Sir Williams directly put the threat on the surface, since Ralph Schumacher can't prove himself, let Montoya, who has proved himself, take the position.

Sir Williams, forever the founder of the team who was ruthless and civilized!

Hearing this warning, Ralph Schumacher's face was ugly, you must know that he has also had a bit of status in the F1 paddock in recent years, and most teams and drivers regard him as a top driver.

The top driver naturally has his pride and dignity, and he is still angry and dissatisfied when the team's public voice is warned by these warnings, even knowing that this is Sir Williams's consistent character and approach.

So at this time, Ralph Schumacher directly angrily ripped off the headphone cable, completely cut off the connection with the team, and then slammed the accelerator down and launched an attack on the Coulthard of the McLaren team in front.

"Kimi, I'll block Ralph, you chase the opponent in front of you!"

Seeing Ralph Schumacher's menacing appearance, Coulthard understood that the other party was not good.

In contrast to the No. 2 drivers of other teams, Kuthard was taken care of by Mika Hakkinen, which is a favor for him as a Finn driver.

If Kimi Raikkonen really can't prove himself on the track, it's time for him to be unkind.

In the F1 paddock, strength is always respected!

Coulthard took the initiative to block the car, and Kimi Raikkonen also understood that this was to create an opportunity for himself, so he did not hesitate or refuse, and directly threw off Coulthard and chased Alonso in front.

He must use this opportunity to prove himself as a super-talented driver and maintain the glory of Finnish motorsport!

Just as Coulthard thought, Ralph Schumacher's offensive this time can be described as crazy, and it is not at all the playboy and foolish Ralph on the track in the past.

But for the offensive of the McLaren team and Kimi Raikkonen, Coulthard had to block it no matter what at this moment, so his defense was also extremely resolute, and the offensive and defensive momentum of the two people was simply on the verge of a crash!

"BOSS, Ralph is a bit of a boss!"

Williams' technical director, Simmonds, looked at the scene on the track and spoke to Sir Williams next to him, but he understood that it didn't make much sense because he had just tried to contact Ralph Schumacher via the team's voice, but there was no response.

"No matter what mood he is in now, I just need to see the results!"

Sir Williams is also extremely tough at the moment, taking out all the iron-blooded demeanor of his founder.

He just relied on sitting in a wheelchair and competing with various bigwigs in the Grand Prix, and forcibly pulled a private team to the status of the world's three giants, and stood for more than ten years.

One can imagine what a determined and tenacious man Sir Williams was.

So for him, this scene can be described as unchanging, he doesn't care about the process, as long as Ralph Schumacher can go beyond the front row.

But at this time, the accident happened, and when the race came to the twenty-fifth lap, Ralph, who had been attacking for several laps in a row, finally missed on the slippery track. He lost his grip in the corner and crashed the car straight into Coulthard, who was in the way, and he rushed off the track with himself!

There were a lot of shell fragments on the track, but the two cars had already rushed into the buffer zone, so only a single yellow flag was lit, the safety car was not deployed, and the race continued.

On lap 28, the single yellow flag on the track was removed, the accident car was removed, and some debris was cleared as much as possible, and the rest was irrelevant.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei was in the lead because he got rid of the grappling early, when he passed the crash area on lap 29. Suddenly, I felt a violent sway in the body, and then the speed slowed down.

He subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, and the right rear tire was instantly torn into pieces of black shards, and then the wheel hub inside was exposed. Even when the alloy wheels are driving at high speed, they still rub sparks all the way on the track.

, got a flat tire?
