640 Alonso the Madman (Chapter 3)
The car began to pick up speed like crazy, and just as everyone in the audience expected, Zhang Yifei launched an attack on Montoya.
Montoya is not a soft persimmon, and after many fights, he can also be said to be clear about Zhang Yifei's driving habits and line routing style. Therefore, Montoya defended very resolutely, not giving Zhang Yifei any chance to overtake, and even many times even if he gave up the line, he had to block in front of Zhang Yifei.
Seriously, after being too familiar with the other party's habits, Zhang Yifei's overtaking difficulty has increased a lot. And Montoya is not only familiar with the general, he must have carefully studied Zhang Yifei's wiring video after the game, and it is very difficult to surpass him in a short period of time.
The two of them fought fiercely on the track, and all kinds of extreme lines and defenses were frequently staged, showing the clash between spear and shield to the extreme. There are a lot of overtaking pictures on the track, but it is really rare to be able to achieve a high level of Zhang Yifei and Montoya.
It is worthy of being the fateful enemy of this year's newcomers to the track.
Laps 18, 19 and 20......
The number of laps began to increase, Montoya's pressing defense was almost impeccable, and even Zhang Yifei's somewhat risky overtaking line was blocked by the Colombian driver just right.
"Montoya did a good job this time, much better than the previous one."
In the Williams pit pits, looking at Montoya's performance on the track, owner Sir Williams nodded in praise.
After many failures and setbacks, especially after the conflict at the last US Grand Prix, Montoya has begun to evolve from an Indian reckless man to a driver who knows how to make trade-offs.
Not to mention far, even in the last stop of the United States Grand Prix, in the face of Zhang Yifei's crazy offensive, Montoya estimated that after a few laps of defense, he would consider pressing the opponent with toughness, or even crashing to solve the problem.
This kind of toughness may have worked against other drivers, and even Schumacher has been forced back more than once by Montoya. But now Zhang Yifei is urine, it is not clear if there is no team on the track, this Chinese guy is like a stone in a pit, it is impossible to scare him away.
The word "life" is a specific word for others, and it is similar to a common word for Zhang Yifei.
There are many results of losing both, that is, two people can't run on the professional track, and even one of them will suffer severe punishment.
When the young people are in full swing, they are not convinced, but after a season, both of them will have to get rid of the newcomers, and if it is not to the point of "life and death", crashes are no longer a regular consideration.
"Well, I also feel like Montoya has grown, and that's what a top driver should look like."
Technical Director Symonds agreed, after all, a potential rookie driver is still more valuable this year. If it weren't for the lack of choice, the Williams team didn't want to replace Montoya, after all, the team put too much expectation and effort into him, and even kicked out a driver.
"Next season, it's up to Montoya to perform."
Sir Williams's words are equivalent to passing Montoya through a dangerous period.
As the team owner, he can accept the temporary failure of his drivers, but he can't accept not seeing the growth and potential of his drivers.
It was clear that Montoya's performance on the track today pleased Sir Williams and he was willing to give the Indian king another chance to continue next season.
When the race came to lap 22, Zhang Yifei still did not overtake Montoya, but the two of them caught up with Minardi driver Alonso in a frantic struggle!
At this moment, the "head brother" Alonso really has no cards on the track, and is purely an inconspicuous little newcomer. If Zhang Yifei didn't know the future history, it is estimated that he would not have taken a small role like Alonso in his eyes.
Alonso had a good performance at the Japanese Grand Prix, qualifying for a top 10 finish, which is a remarkable feat given the performance of the Minardi and his current strength.
Moreover, Alonso became more and more courageous in the race, and the front row driver crashed and retired, and directly entered the top six points area. This is the second time Alonso has entered the points zone in the whole season, and the importance to him is self-evident.
However, at this time, he felt a serious sense of crisis, because from the rearview mirror, Alonso saw two blue cars appear behind him.
Of course, it wasn't for a team, as one of them was a blue-and-white Williams Sabertooth Tiger, and the one behind was a solid blue Prost.
For the drivers of these two cars, Alonso knows who the drivers are, even without looking at the number on the front of the car. After all, these two guys, I don't know how many times they have fought on the track, are simply fatal enemies.
Did both of these lunatics catch up?
Alonso muttered to himself, how terrifying it was to fuck two guys from the pits to catch up with the top 10 at the same time, and almost halfway through the race.
Historically, those who started from the pits and finally made it to the points are considered first-class drivers. Now at the speed of these two madmen, the possibility of rushing to the podium is very high, and it is two people rushing up at the same time, which is really terrifying!
"Alonso, try to keep it, if you can't do it, you can let Montoya go first."
Minaldi's voice was transmitted to Alonso's headset, and from this command, it is clear that Minardi does not have much confidence in Alonso's defense of the two drivers behind him.
But a decent defense still has to be done, otherwise the Minardi team will not be able to save face.
"I'm not going to let any of them go!"
Unlike Minaldi's imagination, Alonso did not follow his instructions at all, but was very adamant that he would join the fight.
This is the character of the head brother Alonso, the "madman" on the track in later generations, when facing the seven-time champion Schumacher, he publicly shouted that he wanted to pick Schumacher off the horse, and he really did it, ending the miracle of Schumacher's eight crowns.
Later, when he was in the McLaren team, he openly worked against his boss Dennis, and bullied Hamilton, who was fledgling at the time. Even in the famous "Spygate", he threatened to testify against his own convoy.
Alonso's various acts of death made him transfer from the original McLaren team to Ferrari, and the aggressiveness when negotiating the contract made him from Ferrari to McLaren, which used Honda engines and was no longer competitive.
And this guy "spygate" defected, so that Mercedes's original idea of forming a Mercedes team around him also failed, and another rising star Hamilton was chosen.
Character determines fate, so Alonso's final fate, like Montoya, couldn't stay in F1 and went to IndyCar to compete.
Think about the three giants in the future, how can a Minardi boss, Alonso on top?
In the face of Alonso's open disobedience, Minardi's face instantly darkened, a rookie on the track dared to provoke his boss like this?
If Alonso has Zhang Yifei's results, it will be forgotten, this tone Minardi endured, it is really not possible to have Montoya's performance, and Minardi can treat it as nothing. You've run this urine performance all season, and you dare to be so rampant?
Just as Minardi was about to press the red call button again to reprimand, Willy, the team's technical director next to him, stopped him.
Then he shook his head and said: "BOSS, if there is anything to talk about after the game, now is not the time to deal with Alonso." And the young Spaniard, it's a good thing to have fighting spirit, let's take a look at his performance first. ”
Willy is still relatively authoritative in the Minardi team, and it can be said that he has designed Minardi racing cars since the team's inception.
So hearing his words, Minardi suppressed the anger in his heart and put his eyes back on the track, wanting to see what kind of performance this rookie rookie can play!
Montoya, who was fighting, and Zhang Yifei came to the back of Alonso's car, and saw a Minardi car in front of him, but Montoya didn't pay attention to it at all.
To put it mildly, the Minardi team has no presence in the whole season, and it is too difficult to get people to pay attention to it.
Montoya stepped on the accelerator and went down as if he saw Alonso as if he were nothing, and when he was about to pass easily, he found that the Minardi car in front of him had changed lanes in front of him, and he did not intend to give way to the overtaking line.
You can stop me too?
Montoya felt a little angry at Alonso's move, he didn't know how many times he had lapped Alonso on the track, how could a driver of this level stop himself?
So he immediately changed lanes, and then crossed the shoulder of the road, intending to use the thunderous momentum to show Alonso what it means to be absolutely strong overtaking!
The result was an unexpected scene, Alonso also aggressively rushed onto the shoulder of the road, blocking his overtaking lane, showing his attitude very toughly. And the action response is very fast, not at all like the rookie who used to be a casual ring.
Zhang Yifei, who was following behind, looked at Alonso's blocking action, in fact, he was also very surprised in his heart. There are several future world champions on the track at the moment, and apart from Kimi Raikkkonen, he has not regarded Jenson Barton or Alonso as opponents.
After all, they are too weak, and the weak performance of the car leads to a mess on the track.
If he is put in Montoya's position at this moment, he will not put Alonso in his eyes, because Zhang Yifei has been in Alonso's circle several times. The head brother of the rookie season is really a dish!
Did the head brother take the wrong medicine today, and he was unwilling to be lonely and planned to join the battle?
