784 Beat the Two
It's coming, isn't it? I'm waiting for you!
Zhang Yifei silently said in his heart, he never took it for granted that he could crush the game as expected by the outside world.
In fact, he has always been wary of the tactics of the Ferrari team, and it is not surprising that Barrichello and Schumacher have teamed up, on the contrary, if they are like himself and Alonso, and they do not see the trend of cooperation at all, then Zhang Yifei may be even more nervous, not knowing what kind of medicine is sold in the Ferrari gourd.
The three cars began to take on a zigzag state, and Schumacher began to give way to Barrichello, allowing him to bite Zhang Yifei's wake so that he could attack first.
The wide track provided this convenience to the Ferrari duo, and after Zhang Yifei saw this trend, he began to constantly change lanes in a serpentine shape left and right, creating turbulence at the rear of the car, and not giving Barrichello the opportunity to use the wake to accelerate.
To be honest, no matter how confident Zhang Yifei is in the Donghai Circuit, as long as he doesn't see the black and white checkered flag waving at the end of the race, and before he reaches the highest podium, there is a possibility of any accidents on the track.
It's like Senna in 94, when he was in his prime, and at the beginning of the season, he was directly in a three-bar position, and Schumacher couldn't breathe. It turned out to be his last glory, and then he accidentally fell on the San Marino circuit, leaving fans around the world with eternal sadness and regret.
Zhang Yifei didn't want this kind of "regret" to happen to him, so he didn't even want to give Barrichello a chance to overtake, and his defense was extremely tenacious and resolute!
"The Chinese kid is very tough."
Seeing this, Jean Todd of the Ferrari pit station opened his mouth to say a word to Ross Brown beside him.
How to say that Jean Todd is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and in the face of Zhang Yifei's tough blocking car, there will not be any unbalanced mentality.
On the contrary, Zhang Yifei's response was also expected by Jean Todd, he did not expect Barrichello to overtake easily, and now it is more to put pressure on Zhang Yifei, so that he will change his mentality and increase the probability of mistakes.
"This is Fei's usual style, but I don't know if this time the championship battle, Alonso of the Prost team, will take the initiative to join forces again."
Now Barrichello and Schumacher can join forces to attack Zhang Yifei so unscrupulously, in addition to the fact that the two of them are in the top position and can catch up with Zhang Yifei who is in the front of the queue and can catch up with Zhang Yifei who is protecting the tire, there is another major factor.
That is, Alonso, who is fourth, did not try his best to contain Barrichello's idea, and gave the Ferrari team the opportunity to deal with Zhang Yifei.
Throughout the season, the only thing that can really be called a joint effort between the two Prost drivers is the scene where Alonso blocks the car at the end of Monaco. Other times, it was a separate battle, and even the championship was in front of them, and no one took the initiative to make sacrifices.
If it weren't for the Monaco experience, maybe Scuderia Ferrari would have believed that Alonso wouldn't have made a move.
However, once he was bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and no one dared to guarantee what Alonso thought of this final battle.
Although the two Ferrari drivers had joined forces to attack, Schumacher kept his attention on Alonso. Don't let Barrichello give up defending him, and he finds an opportunity to overtake, which is really called stealing chickens and not losing rice.
And when the two Prost drivers are in the top three, it's even more likely that the two of them will join forces. After all, even if you don't look at the interests of the team, it is the best choice to simply consider your own interests, and cooperate to get out of the way Ferrari drivers to enter the top two.
So the current situation is that Barrichello is crazy about the main attack, but Schumacher, who really wants to overtake, has a hand, staring at Alonso behind him, and has not relaxed his defense.
"What about joining forces? This time I won't pin my hopes on my opponent again! ”
Jean Todd replied with a blank face, and the unexpected defeat at Monaco had taught them a vivid lesson.
If the team plan does not reserve enough defense forces to "take care" of the Spanish boy Alonso, then the team strategy team is simply a group of pigs!
It is clear that the current Ferrari strategy team is not yet arrogant to the point where no one is in sight and does whatever it wants. Schumacher's defensive actions now are the best proof of this.
Regardless of whether the rumors of Alonso and Zhang Yifei are true or not, these two guys are driving the same blue and red Prost car, and they both have the label of Prost driver printed on them!
When the qualifying results came out, Jean Todd had already clearly realized that this time it was not only the championship battle between Schumacher and Zhang Yifei, but also the championship battle between Ferrari and Prost.
The two drivers on the track are no longer separate individuals, but as a whole!
Jean Todd's answer made Ross Brown not say anything more, but turned his gaze back to the screen.
Lap 6 & 7......
The lap count continued to rise, and Schumacher and Barrichello alternated between the leads, maintaining continuous pressure on Zhang Yifei, but never launched a full-scale attack.
Because the two of them found that Zhang Yifei did a really good job on the defensive line, it can be described as "airtight". Even in the face of Barrichello's offensive, Zhang Yifei did not show any panic, and there were no obvious flaws on the wide track!
To be honest, even Schumacher was secretly frightened by this scene, he knew very well how fast Zhang Yifei was on this track, but he didn't expect that his defense of this East China Sea track was so meticulous, and there was no shortcoming!
Absolutely! In just three days and five games, can you really achieve absolute control?
"Three laps on, I thought Fly would either be in danger of losing or letting team-mate Alonso clear the way in the face of two Ferrari drivers."
"But what I never expected happened, the driver flew one against two, and stubbornly blocked the attack of the two Ferrari drivers, defending his position in the lead car."
“MY GOD! It turns out that in this world, there is really someone who can block the joint attack of Schumacher and Barrichello, is the driver flying him a monster? ”
Blundell couldn't sit still at all, he had not seen anyone in his more than ten years of commentary career who could stop the combined attack of the two Ferrari drivers, and he was so comfortable that there were no thrilling scenes.
You must know that in Blundel's judging criteria, Schumacher and Barrichello are the most powerful driver combination in F1 history, there is no one!
Even if it is purely based on the addition of individual strength, the combination of McLaren-Senna and Prost, which is still above them, is not as good as the current Ferrari duo from the perspective of teammates.
The reason is very simple, neither Senna nor Prost are willing to sacrifice themselves to be that green leaf, and even stumble each other on the track. Barrichello, on the other hand, can be the best wingman, giving Schumacher the power to play a greater than two.
Considering F1's 50-year history, Blundell believes that no one can stand in the way of the current Ferrari duo, no matter how strong the driver is, not even Senna's rebirth.
As a result, this scene on the field now broke his professional cognition, and Zhang Yifei did it!
"It's terrifying! However, this should not be the strongest form of the Ferrari duo, who are yet to attack with all their might. ”
Li Bing's commentary experience is far less than Blundell's, so the shock it brought him is much smaller.
He originally wanted to brag about Zhang Yifei, but he thought that there is an old Chinese saying that things must be opposed, so he should be objective and save some character for Zhang Yifei.
Indeed, as he said, Schumacher's offensive was always reserved, and he did not use his full strength, obviously guarding against Alonso in the back.
It's just that Li Bing can't understand one thing, now that his teammates have been attacked by two Ferrari drivers, Alonso has no reaction?
"Even if they don't go all out, as long as the two of them join forces, no one can stop them. Now Fei has done it, and if he can keep the victory until the end, I can predict that Fei will become the strongest driver in F1 in the future! ”
Blundell said this in no uncertain terms, and the Chinese commentator has not yet understood what it means for the two Ferrari drivers to join forces.
This is F1's strongest offensive weapon, even if it was Zhang Yifei before, he didn't have any ability to fight, and he lost in front of these two people countless times.
It's just a super strong man at the F1 level who can defend these two drivers with one enemy and two enemies, and the only suspense now is to see if Fei can hold on to the end.
Blundel's shock is also the thinking of many team management in the current pit pits.
McLaren team chairman Ron Dennis, saw this scene with a complicated expression, in terms of the strength of the two Ferrari drivers, in recent decades, only in the early nineties of the twentieth century, with both Senna and Prost, McLaren team can match.
Now on the East China Sea track, Zhang Yifei has suppressed the offensive of these two people with the strength of one person, and I really don't know how to describe this situation.
"Do you think Fei will become the next global superstar after Schumacher?"
Dennis's words were asked by the designer Nuvey next to him, and he didn't say why.
Because the footage on the track has already given him a reason, Dennis is confident that Newey will understand what he is trying to say.
"If he can get to the top in this race, he will definitely become the next superstar in the world."
Nuvey said with certainty that with Zhang Yifei's current age, the technical strength that has been shown belongs to the future that can already be seen.
And more importantly, there were many rumors before the game, such as Zhang Yifei's expansion and loss, and other negative news, which can now be clarified as rumors. Zhang Yifei was not inflated and arrogant, on the contrary, he controlled the East China Sea Circuit faster than anyone else, and showed the strength of this absolute dominance.
It's not terrible to be young and talented, but the terrible thing is that the psychological quality is still as stable as ever.
If even the 250,000-person home stadium of the East China Sea Circuit cannot have any impact on Zhang Yifei's game state and performance, then it is difficult to have anything in this world that can change Zhang Yifei's mentality.
An emotionless racing machine who will crush everything on the track that stands in his way!
"yes, he's going to have to win this fight."
"But this kind of joint attack is not the state of the two Ferrari drivers who are firing on all cylinders. If Schumacher makes a desperate bet in the future, will Fei still be able to stop it? ”
Another possibility that Dennis said was that they could also see that Schumacher was not giving it his all.
And they know better that Schumacher, even in his form, has not shown the "unscrupulous" side for the championship. Maybe in recent years, there have been no drivers who can force Schumacher to give up the driver's spirit, I don't know if Zhang Yifei can do it today.
"BOSS, don't forget, the Prost team on the track is not only Zhang Yifei, but also Alonso in the back."
Now almost everyone, when talking about Zhang Yifei, would not have thought that he also had a "teammate" Alonso.
In fact, this teammate is almost the same, and it is true that Zhang Yifei is fighting alone.
Of course, this is also true for Alonso, and he can't get any help from Zhang Yifei.
But at the Monaco Grand Prix, the two of them teamed up once, and now that the finale is such an important track, it's hard to imagine the two Prost drivers continuing to go their separate ways.
It is difficult for Zhang Yifei to resist the attacks of Schumacher and Barrichello, but if Alonso is added, the result is not certain.
"I haven't forgotten, but Alonso, how long are you going to help fly?"
Dennis replied with a smile before turning his gaze to Alonso on the track.
Alonso, who was fourth at the moment, was not left behind and was still behind the Ferrari driver. However, in this event, he and Zhang Yifei also chose a one-stop tactic, so they also need to protect the tire at a constant speed.
In the face of the two Ferrari drivers attacking Zhang Yifei, Alonso was like an outsider, always maintaining his own rhythm and not having the slightest intention of clearing the siege.
That's why Dennis didn't include Alonso, because the Prost No. 2 driver is obviously more focused on his own pace of the race than trying to relieve the pressure on Zhang Yifei, otherwise he should have picked up the speed to attack either Barrichello or Schumacher.
For Zhang Yifei's current situation, Alonso's offense is his best way to defend!
No one knows what Alonso is thinking at the moment, just as no one knows that the Prost team has not given strong orders to let Alonso clear the siege at this time.
However, the only thing that can be thankful is that Alonso's presence has always been a danger to Ferrari drivers.
Maybe this can be regarded as achieving Zhang Yifei's original intention, even if Alonso does not have the potential to be a teammate, he can at least be a "bomb". As long as he can join the front row of the competition, Zhang Yifei does not believe that the Ferrari team dares to be so big and treat Alonso as a transparent person.
So Alonso actually helped Zhang Yifei share part of the pressure and maintain the balance of power of the front four!
