596 I'm going to win the championship! (Chapter 4)
In the last three laps, Zhang Yifei increased his speed again, relying on the strong grip of the super soft tires, walking some extreme cornering routes that he had not walked before, and slowly shortening the distance between him and Montoya.
"1:14.257!"
An exclamation resounded throughout the track, this is the sound of the end of the event, because Zhang Yifei's lap time just now not only surpassed the track record, but even broke Schumacher's pole position of 1:14.266 last year!
You must know that the goal of qualifying is to pursue the fastest lap, so it is all very low fuel load and super soft tyres. And there is no fierce struggle between the cars, and it is much easier to run the fastest lap than the main race.
But Zhang Yifei actually broke the fastest lap of qualifying in the last few laps, which is enough to prove how amazing his speed is!
When this lap time was said, the faces of many people on the scene changed, not that they were surprised by Zhang Yifei's record of creating a track, but that Zhang Yifei only took one and a half laps to catch up with Montoya!
“FUCK YOU! This is taking medicine, right, Montoya's last lead, being caught up so easily? ”
"How did you do it so quickly, isn't he a rookie in China?"
"Hehe, stupid American, you believe everything the media says, you completed a hat trick at the last stop, have you ever seen such a powerful rookie?"
"There's still a lap and a half, and I don't believe Montoya will lose!"
"Montoya, for the sake of Colombia, for the glory of the Indy champion, get this championship!"
"Come on, Montoya!"
The spectators on the track are also starting to go crazy at this moment, and whoever wins in this last moment will become the ultimate winner, the winner of the United States Grand Prix!
Montoya's supporters were furious, believing that he would be able to win the event, but his face was not good-looking. Because he never thought that Zhang Yifei would be able to surpass the front and even compete for the championship!
At this moment, Montoya did not have the slightest advantage in the face of Zhang Yifei, because the tires had worn to the upper limit, and he didn't dare to play some extreme manipulation at all when cornering, maybe he rushed out of the track because of lack of grip.
But Zhang Yifei has no scruples, and his racing condition is even better than at the beginning. Ultra-soft tyres that skip the peak, combined with a very light fuel load, are almost like lap times in qualifying.
To put it simply, either Zhang Yifei didn't catch up, once Zhang Yifei in this state caught up, it would be God blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha!
Without the slightest hesitation, on the 72nd lap, Zhang Yifei launched a crazy attack on Montoya in front. It's just that unlike Schumacher, Montoya resisted very tenaciously, even at the risk of crashing.
Several times Zhang Yifei saw that he was about to overtake, but he directly blocked in front and waited for Zhang Yifei to chase the tail. Because Montoya also knew in his heart that he couldn't stop Zhang Yifei behind him, rather than letting him win the American Grand Prix, it was better for the two of them to die together!
In any case, even if I can't win this stop, I can't lose!
This is the belief in Montoya's heart at this moment, he has given up hope of victory, as long as Zhang Yifei does not win.
Montoya's extreme actions made the anger in Zhang Yifei's heart gradually rise, victory was just around the corner, he really didn't want to die with the other party. Even Zhang Yifei can conclude that even if he succeeds in overtaking, as long as he is slow when he "passes by", Montoya will not hesitate to bump over and grab the line.
Because by far, the most serious penalty in F1 is the cancellation of points for the whole year.
For Montoya, this doesn't really matter anymore. If he loses, he will become the "sinner" of IndyCar, and even the Williams team may abandon himself as a result.
How high is the audience praising him now, and when the time comes, how bad the fall will be, his career is already bleak, and Montoya is still worried about crashing?
On the seventy-third lap, the race came to the last lap, and Zhang Yifei still hadn't found a perfect way to overtake Montoya. The other party's gear action is still very extreme, but there is no malicious behavior of stepping on the brakes, and it is on the edge of the rules.
And even if Zhang Yifei knew that the other party wanted to crash, but before the incident happened, everything was just his own guess, and there was no way to make the track referee make a blue flag judgment.
The finish line is getting closer and closer, and Zhang Yifei knows that if he doesn't overtake again, he will send Montoya to the championship. Wishfulness has never been Zhang Yifei's character, he has always liked simple and rough actions.
At the last No. 13 Grim Reaper turn on the track, Montoya still blocked the car and cut the line, Zhang Yifei did not hesitate and chose the extreme line to overtake. This is the riskiest way to overtake, and it is also the one that has the best chance of success.
Even if Montoya wanted to replicate the previous crash and change lanes from the inside to the outside and crash on the outside, it would be too late in time and speed. After all, Zhang Yifei's cornering speed is much faster than Montoya's, and he can only hit the tail wing last time, and this time it is at most an exhaust!
But this time Zhang Yifei miscalculated, as the last corner, his intention to overtake was too obvious, and Montoya knew it without even guessing.
As the saying goes, the person who knows you best will always be your opponent. Zhang Yifei and Montoya have done so many opponents, not only Zhang Yifei knows Montoya's popularity and wildness very well. Montoya also understands Zhang Yifei's aggressive, gambler personality.
No. 13 Grim Reaper, almost at the moment of entering the bend, Montoya did not choose to cut the line, but squeezed directly towards Zhang Yifei on the outer road. Thoughts and intentions, I told Zhang Yifei very directly, I plan to follow you closely.
If you still want to overtake from the outside road, think carefully about the consequences of this overtaking!
Such a naked threat, do you think you will eat me?
Montoya's move made Zhang Yifei angry to his brain, this guy is determined that he wants to win the United States Grand Prix, so he is so unscrupulous. It was like the first time I had fought Montoya, and he had been beaten by his racing performance on that straight.
Is it intended to crash maliciously? I'm sorry, I, Zhang Yifei, can do whatever it takes to win the championship!
This time into the corner, Zhang Yifei did not continue to overtake quickly from the outside road, but when he passed through the innermost tangent line of the track, he directly overtook and grabbed the line, and crashed into the front wheel of Montoya's car with the middle of his body.
At the moment of the collision, the carbon fiber shell in the middle of Zhang Yifei's car shattered, and even the sturdy frame was dented into it. But Montoya was even worse, the left front wheel was directly hit by Zhang Yifei, and the whole car also lost control and rushed into the buffer zone on the right, and then stopped in place.
But judging from the tires that were still spinning wildly and rolling up a pile of gravel, Montoya didn't want to give up on the edge of victory, he still stepped on the gas pedal deeply!
surpassed Montoya's car, Zhang Yifei glanced at him with indifferent eyes, and showed the six words of low-key, forbearance, and killing to the fullest.
“OH MY GOD! At the 13th Grim Reaper, Fei collided with Montoya again, this time the collision was more ferocious and intense, and even the left front wheel of the Williams car was knocked off. ”
"Montoya is now parked in the gravel buffer zone, I don't know if there are any injuries, but I can only say that the victory is in sight, and both drivers are a little too excited to cause this accident."
As soon as Blundell finished saying this, Lewis next to him interrupted excitedly: "It's not an accident, it's obvious that Fei maliciously knocked Montoya off the track, this kind of violation of F1 rules, and even a violation of sportsmanship, should cancel the results and then ban!" ”
Lewis's voice, which reached the audience's ears through the FM broadcast, instantly sparked a wave of protest!
"That's right, the Chinese guys definitely hit Montoya on purpose, otherwise the championship will lose to Indy!"
"This kind of malicious crash should be banned for life and not allowed to engage in any motorsports again!"
"A Chinese rookie is just a piece of garbage, can't he afford to lose?"
"If you can't win, you just rely on this despicable means, the existence of this kind of person is simply tarnishing motorsports!"
"Get out of America!"
The invective and accusations on the track also aroused the dissatisfaction of the Chinese supporters on the scene, even though they were extremely inferior in numbers, they still made their voices heard.
"The accident in the process of grabbing the line, why do you say that Zhang Yifei did it on purpose?"
"To be despicable, how can there be Montoya despicable? Before Turn 13, trying to crash the fly into the concrete protective wall, that is the real murder! ”
"The champion is flying, and the last lap is a normal car? Montoya is clearly going to crash! ”
"There was also the Brazilian Grand Prix earlier, Montoya knocked out the first race championship, and now it's just retribution!"
The crowd in the stands was indignant, which did not prevent Zhang Yifei from appearing in front of Zhang Yifei with a black and white checkered flag symbolizing the end of the game.
Double Championship! Zhang Yifei won the United States Grand Prix, becoming the first driver to win two consecutive F1 championships in his rookie season!
Passing the starting line, Zhang Yifei slowed down and opened his helmet and mask, ready to celebrate his victory. The result was not cheers and applause, but the uproar and invective, and these Indy champions were clearly unwilling to admit their victory.
Zhang Yifei didn't care about these abuses at all, and even had a smile on his face and waved to the stands!
That's right, I just hit Montoya on purpose, so what? Montoya hit twice, and even knocked out a champion before the finish line, and this time the 13th Grim Reaper can even be described as "vicious".
He is just using others to govern others.
Repaying grievances with virtue has never been Zhang Yifei's character, since the other party doesn't plan to stop yet, let Montoya also taste what it's like to be knocked out of the track before the finish line.
As for the anger of these American audiences, it can only be said that the more angry they are, the happier Zhang Yifei becomes.
I love seeing you so angry, but you can't kill me!
