418 That's a teammate
At this moment, Heidefeld can already be described as having a state of mind, just like the scene when he couldn't restrain his emotions in the lounge and did something with Alessi.
Heidfeld's mind is full of transcending Alessy to vent his inner anger and grievances. As for any safety issues and FIA penalties, he has already forgotten about them.
With this foot on the accelerator, Alessi, a Frenchman, has to look at his taillights from behind!
Heidefeld needs to vent his anger and dissatisfaction, in fact, Alessi's current state of mind is not much better than Heidefeld's.
Although in a sense, he agreed with Zhang Yifei's strength, and finally obeyed the team's instructions, and the responsibility of the wingman who came over made Zhang Yifei surpass him, but this does not mean that Alesi has no unhappiness and grievances in his heart.
As a track veteran, if Alessi is given a little time, he may quickly get back to his mentality. But after Zhang Yifei passed by two cars in a row, Heidfeld actually wanted to follow Zhang Yifei and copy his line to overtake him, which was unacceptable to Alessi.
He became a wingman for the benefit of the team, and if he let Heidfeld pass, all his "sacrifices" would be meaningless. So the moment Zhang flew over, Alessi hit the steering wheel to change lanes, not giving Heidfield any chance to follow and overtake!
It's just that what Alessi didn't expect was that he was about to complete the lane change, and Heidenfield didn't show any signs of slowing down. Could it be that this kid is planning to force himself to give way through this tough way?
As soon as he thought of this, a sneer appeared on Alessi's face, and the grudge between him and Heidenfield could be said to have reached the level of a sworn enemy.
It is impossible to admit to Heidefeld with anyone, even if he becomes the penultimate and the penultimate one who is blocked behind today, it must be Heidenfeld of the Sauber team!
So Alessy didn't give in the slightest, and locked any overtaking routes in Heidfeld.
In this way, the car distance began to get closer and closer, and the two people were playing in their hearts, betting that the other party would admit it first. But both of them underestimated the anger in each other's hearts at this moment, not to mention admitting the instigation line, and there was not even the slightest sign of slowing down.
Heidfeld's Sauber rear-ended Alesi's Prost straight and knocked Alesi off the track.
"There was another accident on the track, and the rookie driver Heidenfeld from Sauber directly rear-ended Alesi, the veteran of the Prost team!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Heidefield didn't seem to slow down in any way before crashing. In addition, Alessi, who was rear-ended, also kept turning on the brake lights before being hit, which increased the probability of being rear-ended, and the control of these two people was not normal! ”
Blundell has nearly 20 years of experience in commentary, and has seen countless F1 crashes. The manipulation of Alessy and Heidefeld just now has obvious deliberate behavior, one can be regarded as malicious braking, and the other is completely dangerous driving.
It's just that this kind of thing, without evidence and official characterization, the commentary must not be judged based on its own subjective thoughts. So Blundell just said that it was not normal, and did not explicitly say that the two drivers were in control, and they had the behavior of driving dangerously in a gambling car.
"Alessi and Heidenfield were teammates last season, but there were rumors of a brawl, and now the collision on the track will have something to do with this feud?"
Malaysian commentator Mohda is obviously inexperienced, and directly said the contradiction behind this. If there is any impact on public opinion as a result, the FIA will definitely investigate the track accident seriously and strictly.
Dangerous driving is not a small offense and can have a direct impact on a driver's career. Mohda's casual speculation probably had consequences that he had not even thought about.
Sure enough, when Mohda spoke up about Alessi's grudge with Hydfield, the track began to discuss it violently.
After all, the rumors of the brawl last year were hot news in F1, and some media even photographed them at one point that after the two people came out of the lounge, they had a few more scars on their faces.
However, both the two drivers themselves and the Prost team have rightly denied the occurrence of the brawl. After all, this negative impact was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Prost team, which was already in financial crisis at that time.
Since it was not possible to achieve a good fit, then it was necessary to disperse, so there was a tacit understanding between the driver and the team. No matter what rumors are rumored by the outside world, the parties are denying the three links anyway: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!
Now the occurrence of this track accident, coupled with the suspicions thrown by Mohda, has evoked memories in the minds of many fans.
"I remember that Heidfeld had a big problem with Alessy when he was a rookie last year, and even did it a few times in the break room. This crash is definitely intentional! ”
"That's right, before last season's end, Prost signed the Chinese kid as an official driver. At that time, it was just over the halfway point of the schedule, and announcing the substitutions for next season so early had a big impact on morale, and it was impossible for Prost not to understand this truth, and it was definitely what happened. ”
"No matter what happens, they chase the rear this time, let the Chinese Yankees benefit and run to the front, they must be severely punished!"
"Did you see, Alessi had already crashed off the track, and he spun around and knocked the car across the track. In this way, the safety car will be dispatched, and the Chinese will shorten the gap with the previous drivers, which is definitely a negotiated black-box operation! ”
"Unfair competition, be sure to appeal to the competition team!"
The audience in the stands, from the very beginning of the heated discussion, gradually turned into a kind of collective anger!
Because in the end, Alessi's behavior was so weird that he was knocked off the track, but he forced a lap and drove back, just stopping in the center of the track impartially.
This kind of car that just stops sideways makes even the Sepang circuit as wide as 22 meters have to be pressed by a safety car. In this way, the track wrecker can safely move the car driven by Alessi from the track.
Once the safety car is pressed, the lead will be lost to the drivers in front.
When Korsell decided to use the one-stop hard tire tactic before, the biggest suspense was whether the safety car would be used to press the car during the game. Only in this way can Zhang Yifei really shorten the gap with the first-echelon drivers, and have the opportunity to catch up with or even surpass them!
It's just that Zhang Yifei was not very lucky, although there was a track accident and there were several car failures, but it was not serious enough to need to dispatch a safety car. Coupled with all kinds of car blocking and grappling, Zhang Yifei not only shortened the gap with the first echelon, but also widened it.
It's like the gap between Zhang Yifei and Schumacher now, which has gone from almost 40 seconds before to 50 seconds. If there is no safety car to press the car, unless it is raining now, and then change to the track, I can't think of anyone who can have the strength to recover the gap of more than 40 seconds with Schumacher!
Zhang Yifei saw Alessi's final cross from the rearview mirror. Even the audience can see the weirdness of the horizontal action, how can Zhang Yifei, as a professional driver, not see it?
Not to mention the track accident, it was originally a part of the one-stop hard tire tactics, and for Zhang Yifei, Alessi's horizontal action was too obvious.
To be honest, when he saw this scene, Zhang Yifei was full of emotion in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
I want to say thank you to Alessi through the team's voice. But the team's voice is under the monitoring of the FIA, and if he wants to say such a thing, it is equivalent to confirming Alesi's deliberate behavior, which will not only fail Alesi's behavior, but also cause him to be severely punished.
This is why, Zhang Yifei knows it in his heart, and the team pit station also knows Alessi's dedication, but no one will say it during the race, so he can only silently put it in his heart.
Is this a teammate?
Zhang Yifei asked rhetorically in his heart, although he was in the same team as Alessi, in fact, in Zhang Yifei's heart, he never regarded Alessi as his teammate, but more in the position of the opponent.
Everything that happened just now made Zhang Yifei feel for the first time what it means to be a teammate in the same team!
After the corner, the blue Prost car could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror, and Zhang Yifei also retracted his emotional mood and put all his attention on the race.
"Fly, pay attention to the double yellow flag, come on."
Henry's reminder voice came, and the appearance of the double yellow flag meant that overtaking was not allowed from this moment on.
From Henry's somewhat trembling voice, Zhang Yifei could hear his inner excitement at the moment.
This is not simply because Zhang Yifei has the hope of catching up and entering the points area, but more because he sees the unity, cooperation and dedication between the drivers!
This kind of teamwork has been missing from the Prost team for a long time, and as the team leader, he feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility. Today, I finally saw the two blue Prost cars on the track, working together for the honor of the team, and this is what touched Henry.
"I will."
Zhang Yifei replied affirmatively, his tone full of determination and firmness.
No matter what contradictions and estrangements there were between him and Alessi before, he will remember the scene just now.
Since Alessi used his withdrawal to give Zhang Yifei the opportunity to shorten the first echelon, then Zhang Yifei will definitely not let this gap widen.
At this moment, his goal is no longer to be in the top six points, but to put it in the top three podium positions, otherwise he will be sorry for Alessi's efforts!
