As Alesi said, at that time, he suddenly faced Barrichello's pursuit, and he did not have the slightest confidence in Prost racing, so Zhang Yifei upshifted too quickly at the beginning and wanted to quickly increase to top speed.

In fact, the gear is not directly proportional to the speed, and the upshift that cannot reach the speed cannot be accelerated.

"There's also the No. 5 Faradula corner, where you brake too late, which leads to a sharp braking after entering the corner, which greatly affects the speed. If it weren't for the fact that you were already turning around and were at risk of hitting the front of the car, Barrichello might have chosen to overtake. ”

Zhang Yifei was also very impressed by this corner, and he wanted to delay braking as much as possible and pass the corner at a faster speed. But after entering the corner, Zhang Yifei suddenly found that the curve was much more urgent than he imagined.

If you go at this speed, you won't be able to turn at all, and you may just run off the track.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei could only take a sharp brake to reduce his speed in the corner. Fortunately, the Interlagos track was rough and dry, and although it was very depleted to the tires, the grip was good, and the speed was finally slowed down.

However, this foot brake made the rear car Barrichello chase a lot closer, and was almost overtaken by the opponent at Turn 5.

"Well, I made a mistake in this corner."

Zhang Yifei admitted very calmly that he wanted to get rid of his opponent too much, but instead let himself fall into a kind of embarrassment of being pursued.

"Interlagos is a narrow circuit, but it's not the narrowest, and when you meet Monaco, a city circuit, you have an aggressive approach to braking, and the consequences will be even more severe."

"Every track has its own characteristics, and the cornering speed is not something that can be improved by pressing the accelerator and delaying the brakes, you have to follow their rules."

Alessi explained his years of racing experience to Zhang Yifei in a very flat tone.

Originally, he didn't plan to talk about these things, because in a sense, Zhang Yifei is still his competitor, and Alessi wants to regain the title of No. 1 driver.

But the scene in the lounge, Zhang Yifei's hard work, made Alessi, who was planning to leave, finally change his mind.

With his current age and skills, he is estimated to be the No. 1 driver of the small team, and it is good to get points and occasionally get on the podium, but it is difficult to win the championship title.

After all, they are all 36 years old, and many drivers have chosen to retire at this age, and it is impossible to reach the top again.

However, Zhang Yifei has a bright future, which is not just a matter of talent, but the fact that this Chinese kid can accept setbacks and work hard to change his flaws.

Take Alessi herself, if she was provoked by her opponent in the practice match, and was ridiculed and ridiculed by the audience, she would probably have exploded her mentality. How can you sit in the lounge so calmly, watch the video over and over again to find out your own shortcomings.

"You're right, when I was chasing after Barrichello, I always thought that the car wasn't good enough and that I had to find a way to keep him out at a faster pace. But in fact, the performance gap of the car did not reach the point where it was completely impossible to fight, but my own aggressive handling gave Barrichello a chance, otherwise he could be firmly pressed behind the car. ”

"Hmm."

Alesi nodded, and then continued: "Actually, you don't need to be so eager at all, as long as you block normally and don't give Barrichello enough overtaking space, he won't dare to force overtake you on the track." ”

"After all, you already have a reckless and aggressive image on the track, and Barrichello doesn't have the courage to play with your life."

At this point, Alessi had a playful smile on her face.

Under the influence of the media and Zhang Yifei's performance, the track drivers have reached a consensus in a sense, whether they think that their strength can surpass Zhang Yifei, they all think that this Chinese kid is very reckless and dares to "die together" with his opponent.

Barrichello wasn't an aggressive, strong driver in his own right, and if he had that character, he wouldn't have stayed with Ferrari for five or six years and become a green leaf with no options.

And with his current achievements and status, it is impossible to "exchange one" with a newcomer like Zhang Yifei.

After all, no matter how bad Zhang Yifei's results are, there will be no problem with a team of this grade next year. And Barrichello's results are going to be bad, and Ferrari won't take in rookies.

So Zhang Yifei doesn't need any psychological pressure at all, Barrichello has more to endure than him!

Looking at the playful smile on Alessi's face, Zhang Yifei instantly understood, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy. Perhaps due to his age and the city, Alesi did not do well on the track, but he saw the situation very clearly.

To put it simply, barefoot people are afraid of wearing shoes?

At this point, Alessi didn't say anything more, but directly opened the door of the lounge and walked out.

If you go on any further, you don't know that you think he's currying favor with a rookie driver, and this impression is unacceptable for the arrogant Frenchman.

The two hours of noon passed quickly, and Zhang Yifei completely recovered his previous fighting spirit, and there was no sign on his face that he had failed in the previous practice match and was under pressure.

"How's the car overhaul?"

After Zhang Yifei walked out of the lounge, he asked Charlie directly in the maintenance workshop.

"It's all done, it won't affect the afternoon practice match."

Charlie replied with confidence, although the speed of the two cars was very fast in the previous collision, the relative speed was actually not fast, which was equivalent to the effect of a gentle push, otherwise Zhang Yifei behind him would not have been able to run another lap on the track against the suspension deformation.

At the same time, Korsell leaned over and said, "It's the second practice session soon, and I want you to focus on familiarizing yourself with the track and the feedback from the cars in this race, rather than responding to those provocations, you know?" ”

"Understood."

Zhang Yifei nodded, in the first practice match, it was indeed Barrichello who took the initiative to provoke, but he was also very cooperative.

It's not the best way to deal with it, and for a professional driver, the race result comes first. For newcomers like Zhang Yifei, familiarizing themselves with the track and doing a good job of track feedback is the top priority in the practice match.

With two practice sessions left, Zhang Yifei can't do anything like that again, otherwise he won't be able to conquer Interlagos!

After a brief instruction, Zhang Yifei dressed up and sat in the car, and Junko Takeda said uncomfortably in the process of handing over the water bag: "Yifei-kun, Korsell said that in this practice match, you may encounter more provocative actions, you should stay calm when you go." ”

"Don't worry, I will carry out the four words of not being arrogant and impatient to the end!"

The green light in the pit lane is lit and the second practice session officially begins. This time the scene on the track was even hotter, and Barrichello's perfect performance in the morning gave confidence to many Brazilian spectators on the track.

It turned out that the super newcomer who was extremely strong in the previous two stops was so vulnerable in front of Barrichello. If nothing else, Barrichello will be the next generation of Brazilian champions after Senna.

Meanwhile, at the Williams pit stop, Montoya was excitedly waiting for the green light to come on.

In the morning, he was ready, but he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to give up the practice match directly, which made Montoya feel very disappointed.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Yifei hid for a while, and he couldn't hide for a lifetime! Now that he finally has a chance, facing this Chinese kid again, Montoya will not give the other party any chance.

"Drive a good boy, show your strength as an Indy World Champion, and don't let me down."

Sir Williams patted Montoya on the shoulder, and said in the tone of an elder.

After all, Montoya was tapped by him a few years ago to enter the Williams academy team, and then step by step became a test driver and an official driver. It can be said that Williams has an appreciation for Montoya, and no one will dispute this tone.

"He's dead this time!"

Montoya replied viciously that if he couldn't prove himself on the Interlagos circuit, he wouldn't be able to hold his head up.

And not only the Williams team, but even the McLaren team pit stops, there is a similar scene.

Martin Whitmarsh, CEO of McLaren, also said to Kimi Raikkonen next to him: "Kimi, can you beat Fly once in practice like Barrichello?" ”

Kimi Raikkonen is not a flamboyant driver, and he didn't expect the CEO to suddenly say such a thing, so he didn't respond at the first time.

Kimi's reaction was also expected by Whitmarsh, so he added: "If you have the chance, provoke and defeat him once." ”

Although Zhang Yifei lost the battle of the twin stars, he could only be regarded as a slight loss, and he shined at the Malaysian Grand Prix, and the results directly crushed Kimi Raikkonen, who retired.

There is no doubt that the light of the twin stars on the original track, Zhang Yifei, has overshadowed the mediocre Kimi Raikkonen.

McLaren Racing has to salvage the situation, and now Zhang Yifei has suffered a setback, which is the best moment to beat him. To put it in a more simple and crude sentence, it is that many teams plan to beat the water dogs and beat Zhang Yifei down at one time!

"Hmm."

Kimi Raikkonen had a cold face and simply responded, which is also his character.

The situation on the track is like the calm before the storm, but Zhang Yifei, who is in the center of the storm, is calm.

Compared to before, he put away his edge this time, and he didn't see any signs of publicity.

But his heart is more confident and fiery than before!

Hibernation does not mean admitting defeat or fear, but for greater strength and explosion, this is the mentality of the strong!
