"It can only be said that the environment of the track affected Villeneuve's judgment, and the ridicule and contempt of hundreds of thousands of people, coupled with the anger in his heart, he mispredicted the reaction of the driver Fei and thought that the other party would back down."

Director Chaz, in fact, is not a racing professional, he is British American Tobacco Group, assigned to the team's management.

Therefore, Richards analyzed Villeneuve's mentality and thoughts at that time from a psychological point of view, and it can only be said that he underestimated Zhang Yifei too much.

"Today's act of flying on the float already shows that he is not crushed by the pressure. Villeneuve was still arrogant after all, and didn't treat Fei as a formidable opponent. ”

"It can only be said that the status of a Grand Slam driver, the highest honor in formula racing, has also become a shackle for Villeneuve, and he has never been able to break through himself."

Without Villeneuve present, Paloc could open up his heart.

From Paloch's point of view, Villeneuve is still immersed in his past glory, not aware of his own strength, in fact, it has declined sharply, and it is not just a matter of car performance.

And this glory made him not pay attention to the new drivers, let alone treat them as his strong opponents. If he could know more about Zhang Yifei, he would know that this Chinese newcomer has never flinched.

This level of provocation and playfulness is destined to suffer backlash.

"Don't be too pessimistic, Villeneuve's quality is still there, and not everyone can be a Grand Slam driver. The Indianapolis Circuit is his home stadium, and this is where he stands at the top, which may awaken his former enthusiasm and fighting spirit. ”

"It's good for Driver Fei to be a rookie, but it's not necessarily better than Villeneuve."

Richards' words made Paloc nod in agreement.

No matter how much the glory of the Grand Slam brings to Villeneuve, it ultimately represents the strength of his once stood at the top, which is the basis of Villeneuve's arrogance.

Palok has absolutely no belief that Zhang Yifei can surpass Villeneuve in hard power, especially on the home circuit of Indianapolis. Even if Villeneuve makes some stupid moves, as long as he plays steadily in the back, he can still rely on hard power to achieve the final victory!

The lights on the track went out again, and this time the start was much more violent than the warm-up lap.

When the car rushed out of the starting line, Zhang Yifei quickly rose to second gear, and then kicked the accelerator to the end, and the speedometer began to soar wildly, rushing towards the value of breaking 100. Even the tires were slightly slipped, which was not a good start for F1.

But Zhang Yifei knew that he had to do this, just like Yamamoto Youkyo warned before the game, Villeneuve and Yang Long in the back will definitely surpass him at all costs.

And the one-stop tactic is also destined to the drivers in front of them, who will be crazy to block the car and protect the tires. When the time comes, you will become a sandwich biscuit in the middle, and the possibility of a crisis will be greatly increased.

So Zhang Yifei plans to surpass Schumacher at the start, and then use the fastest speed to start a decisive battle with Montoya. As long as he can win against Montoya, he will be the first to come, leaving all possible threats far behind.

There's an old saying in F1 that when you're so far ahead, no one is going to threaten you anymore!

Schumacher's main focus was on Montoya in front, after all, the Indian champion was too strong on the Indianapolis circuit and was listed as the number one opponent by Schumacher.

But at the beginning, only the corner of his eye was visible, and when he found a flash of blue in the rearview mirror approaching quickly, Schumacher instantly reacted that it was the Chinese kid who launched an offensive.

How to say that the two of them are old rivals who have fought a few battles, whether it is red or blue, they have appeared in the rearview mirror of both sides countless times. So when he felt the blue approaching, Schumacher instinctively kicked the accelerator down, then changed lanes to block the car, giving up the idea of attacking Montoya.

Surpassing me at the start? Fly, you're really too arrogant!

Schumacher silently said in his heart that in recent years, as Ferrari has established its dominance, there have been many newcomers who have the idea of forcing themselves at the initial stage.

As a result, I didn't expect that in the American Grand Prix, the Chinese newcomer was so arrogant that Schumacher had to turn his gun and concentrate on dealing with Zhang Yifei in the back first.

What a quick response!

Zhang Yifei looked at the red Ferrari car in front of him, and he was also a little shocked in his heart. It is precisely because no newcomer dares to start arrogantly to eat Schumacher, and the weak Prost car does not seem to have this ability.

That's why he was going to take a gamble, bet on Schumacher's negligence, and give himself this opportunity.

It turns out that if you want to exploit Schumacher's loopholes, you really think too much. Even if he didn't have any defenses, his starting speed, reaction, and control were all impeccable, and he didn't have any disadvantages in the face of Zhang Yifei, who was well-prepared.

With the lightning-like on-the-spot operation, with the blessing of the racing performance, the lane change was completed in an instant to block the front of the Prost car, without giving Zhang Yifei any chance.

When the overtaking failed, Zhang Yifei could only accept the reality, follow behind Schumacher, and then look in the rearview mirror with his peripheral vision, ready to block the car. I didn't succeed in overtaking, at least I can't let others succeed in overtaking myself!

However, Zhang Yifei unexpectedly saw Kimi Lekenen in the rearview mirror, and directly bumped into the old Verstappen at the initial stage.

I don't know if it was the old Verstappen who failed to start and was rear-ended by Kimi, or if Kimi himself made a mistake and crashed into the car in front. But judging by the results, the initial crash was equivalent to knocking out the possibility of Kimi Raikkonen joining the competition, and he could well have a dismal start at the US Grand Prix.

In the first few stops, Zhang Yifei once thought that he had changed history, made the Finnish iceman wake up in advance, and started the song of ice and fire on the track, with a strong opponent.

But judging from the current results, Kimi in the rookie stage still maintains the level of his nerve knife, he is very strong and can rush into the front row when he is powerful, and when he collapses, there are various problems from the start, and the upper and lower limits are extremely exaggerated.

Sure enough, history is not so easy to change, and the newcomer Kimi is still in the rookie stage.

Kimi's collision directly triggered a chain reaction, and the cars in the back row had to bypass the two of them, and the start was greatly affected. As soon as the race began, the drivers were divided into two echelons, and the gap was highlighted.

The front cars formed a long line of snakes and began to sprint forward frantically, and because the start was in the center of the long straight, the car was quickly boosted to 320 km/h in sixth gear.

However, the next Turn 1 was a right-angle bend of nearly 90 degrees, and it was necessary to lower the car to about 100km/h in second gear in a very short time.

This is a great test for the driver to choose the braking point, because the starting stage of the car is very close, as long as the cornering speed is a little slower, the driver behind will seize the opportunity to overtake in the corner.

Montoya, the lead car, started to downshift quickly before entering Turn 1, then pinpointed the brake point and cut perfectly from left to right. Even with the chasing Schumacher behind him, he did not give the opponent any chance to overtake, and the whole cornering action was extremely skillful and smooth.

That's why Montoya was able to win two practice games and take pole position. Indeed, for this track, even if it is running the F1 layout, he has achieved the same proficiency as an arm.

Schumacher was no slow in cornering, and he almost did a perfect match for Montoya's cornering course. It can also be seen from this that for the judgment of the best cornering route of this corner, the two people are amazingly consistent!

But when it was Zhang Yifei's turn, his cornering style was completely different from the two drivers in front of him.

When Schumacher was tangentiating from left to right, Zhang Yifei did not follow the line behind him, and did not even brake at the standard braking point! Instead, he rode directly on the right shoulder, rushed to the center of the corner in the fastest straight line, and then braked hard in front of Schumacher with a hard brake.

Zhang Yifei's whole operation is completely different from the previous tangential corners with the beauty of flowing water, rough, reckless, and extreme, but relying on this unexpected way, Zhang Yifei completed the overtaking of Schumacher at Turn 1!

When this scene appeared on the big screen of the track through the broadcast camera, almost everyone was stunned.

In the initial stage, the Chinese kid planned to force Schumacher, but it didn't work. As a result, at Turn 1 of the track, there was another tough overtaking, and he really let him overtake.

This scene is no longer a simple overtaking problem, but Zhang Yifei's actions and thinking, not treating Schumacher as the strongest driver in the formula at all, but as a soft persimmon!

This kind of crazy idea, many drivers don't even dare to think about it, Zhang Yifei not only did it, but also succeeded?

"Brown, I'm not mistaken, Shumi was overtaken by the driver at Turn 1?"

In the Scuderia Ferrari pits, Jean Todd stood in front of the ring screen and shook Ross Brown beside him.

For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating, how long had it been since Schumacher had been overtaken at Turn 1, and had he been overtaken by a rookie on the track?

"It's over, what the hell is going on, what's wrong?"

Ross Brown was also extremely shocked, this is simply a supernatural incident on the track, how did it happen?

"Shumi, what's the situation, is the car out of order?"

Jean Todd quickly pressed the red call button and asked Schumacher, he couldn't believe that a rookie driver could overtake Schumacher at Turn 1!
