788 The Last Opponent
"God of Rain War, I haven't heard the name for a long time, this game is really going to be completely crushed."
After Sir Williams saw the final lap time, he also regained his composure, and his tone even changed to a kind of yearning.
Because of this lap time, he remembered a lot of memories, the man who was called Senna in the rain.
"There will be no suspense in the race, and we will witness the youngest world champion in F1 history and the first non-white world champion."
Technical director Pat Symonds replied that the rain battle failed to beat Zhang Yifei, and he could throw Schumacher by 5 seconds in a lap, he couldn't think of anything else that could happen to the outcome of the race, and he might have to accept this fact in advance.
"The game doesn't go to the end, never jump to conclusions, that's what history has taught me."
Sir Williams smiled and shook his head, then looked at the track, the race was still going on, which meant that there were variables.
"Really? Then wait for the black and white flags waving. ”
Simmonds nodded, he didn't refute Sir Williams's claims, but he didn't change his mind.
After completing this legendary lap, Zhang Yifei's speed slowed down suddenly, not because he didn't dare to go any further, but because there were three consecutive ringring riders in front of him.
McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen, Renault's Helio, and Williams' Montoya are all in front of Zhang Yifei at the moment.
After being overtaken, Helio did not lose all the time, always maintaining the pursuit of Montoya and the suppression of Kimi Raikkonen. Originally, in the face of the combination of these two people, Helio would not be able to stop for long, and he would fall one place in the rankings again.
But this autumn rain is a rain for Helio, and the drivers who did not pit for rain tires have chosen a more conservative attitude, and their joint offensive has stopped, which gives Helio a chance to breathe.
However, the two of them can be regarded as holding each other back and frozen, before Montoya blocked Helio from time to time to create overtaking opportunities for Kimi Raikkonen, but it turned out that Helio's defense was extremely tenacious and did not give Kimi Raikkonen a chance at all.
So Montoya thought that his "friendship" was already in place, and it was your Kimi's own problem if it didn't go over, so he planned to get rid of Montoya and run away by himself. But what surprised him happened, when he gave up blocking the car, the last Kimi Raikkonen also gave up the offensive at the same time, and let the car in front of Montoya go.
Obviously, Kimi Raikkonen wants me to help you overtake Montoya, and now you're going to dump me when you go over, and there is no door!
The current situation is that two people are locked up, as long as I can't surpass Helio, you Montoya don't think about taking advantage of the fisherman alone.
This is the disadvantage of team-ups joining forces, after all, teammates can compromise with each other, and it is not possible to force one of them to make sacrifices under the team's strong instructions.
Two different teams, no one wants to be the wrongdoer, everything is an equivalent exchange.
So now Zhang Yifei has to surpass three ring drivers at the same time, and all three of them have had a holiday with themselves, and they are still in a state of stalemate with each other, and no one wants to break this balance and give Zhang Yifei a happy car.
At this time, one of the drawbacks of the F1 rules arises, that is, the blue flag penalty for the track is not enough, and a driver must not give way in time within three corners after showing the blue flag before he will be punished with a black flag.
Of course, there is no way to fix this drawback, after all, not all the time on the track, there is room for overtaking. It's like if you want to overtake on the road, but the road is only so wide that there is no place for the car in front of you to give way, what can you do?
You can't just press the horn once, and the other party won't let you, so you can get out of the car PK directly with road rage, right?
The same is true on the track, where the Blue Flag penalty rule is to give the ring rider some buffer space. It's just that many riders use this buffer space for other purposes.
As Zhang Yifei caught up with Kimi Raikkonen, the blue flag on the track was waving, and the character of "Finnish Iceman" took the initiative, he is not the kind of person who maliciously retaliates.
Although the action was very reluctant, he still gave up an overtaking route for Zhang Yifei to overtake.
But at this time, the unexpected happened, and without Kimi Raikkonen's containment, Helio saw this as an opportunity, and the crazy Montoya in front launched an overtaking attack.
In the face of the blue flag on the track, Montoya was not as resolute as before, and was in a kind of hesitation in thinking. It was this momentary hesitation that Helio really seized the opportunity, and the front wheel crossed the rear wheel of the Williams car, and it was about to overtake.
Helio's violent, and despicable overtaking behavior, instantly angered Montoya, who was not very good-tempered. Without the slightest hesitation, he changed lanes and went straight to the overtaking Helio, either crashing or slowing down!
Obviously, at this time, Helio was also on the top, and he originally thought that Montoya's alliance with Kimi Raikkonen was also a despicable and unracing move. Now there is Zhang Yifei who is about to ring in the back, which can be regarded as a kind of humiliation!
So Helio didn't slow down, the two of them just collided together, and then lost control and spun on the slippery track, forcing the rear car Zhang Yifei to slow down and step on a heavy brake to avoid crashing into these two runaway cars.
"OHMYGOD, MONTOYA AND HELIO COLLIDED, IS THIS HOW THE INDIAN CIVIL WAR IS GOING TO END?"
"What's the matter, don't hit it sooner or later, but Zhang Yifei only hit it when he was going to overtake, but fortunately, Yifei controls it well, otherwise it will be affected by the pond fish!"
A Chinese fan, the expression on his face was very angry, Zhang Yifei just stepped on the brakes a little slower, and he might have to crash into these two out-of-control cars!
"Isn't it over if you honestly let the car go? I thought it was a competition, you were lapped riders! ”
"That's right, I can't afford to lose if I'm all in the trap, do you want face?"
There are all kinds of complaints on the track, and the ring rider means that he is the loser and is not qualified to make any resistance in front of the winner!
Zhang Yifei looked at the two spinning racing cars at this time, and also exhaled heavily, the tires were smoothed and the racing cars were slippery, and he almost couldn't brake just now, and he was about to crash into the car in front of him.
Fortunately, I have always been vigilant against Helio and Montoya, and my attention is very concentrated, otherwise I will lose a lot of money!
The speed of the two runaway cars slowed down, and Montoya's rushed off the track, and Zhang Yifei found a gap to overtake another Renault car that was passing over.
But at this moment, a red Ferrari rushed towards that gap, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to overtake!
Looking at this red Ferrari car with a number 1, Zhang Yifei was also shocked, and he forgot that although he was ahead of Schumacher in a single lap, he did not throw much off in the overall lap time.
Kimi Raikkonen's ink, Helio and Montoya's affair, and his own forced braking slowdown at the end all wasted a few seconds of lead.
Now there is only one gap to pass, and Schumacher is already about to seize it, and Zhang Yifei is of course impossible to let him surpass it. So he stepped on the accelerator and got ready to speed up and grab the line, blocking Schumacher from his driver.
However, the smoothed tires and the slippery track have been unable to speed up quickly, and the result of pressing the heavy throttle is to slip on the track, Zhang Yifei's speed up is not as fast as he imagined.
But Zhang Yifei still occupies the advantage of the car in front, as long as he can swing the body over, he bets that Schumacher will not dare to knock himself off the track so blatantly, even if he has a bad record!
After all, Schumacher back then had not yet reached the height of the current quadruple crown, to the point of egoism in this equation!
It is true that Schumacher did not collide, but another red Ferrari chose to use the slingshot effect to accelerate at this time, overtaking Schumacher aimed at Zhang Yifei and crashed over.
Another red Ferrari on the track can only be Barrichello, who intends to give full play to his wingman attributes at this critical moment, and use suicide attacks to help Schumacher win the final victory and become the second five-time champion in history!
"Danger!"
"It's over!"
"Don't!"
In the team pits, in the spectators on the track, and even on the commentary stand, all kinds of desperate voices rang out after seeing this scene.
It is true that Schumacher himself did not go out of the field and did the malicious crash, but the Scuderia Ferrari asked another driver to do the same.
If you force a lane change to seize this gap, you will inevitably be hit by Barrichello, and if you don't grab it, you will have to be forced by this despicable plan of the Scuderia Ferrari to make Schumacher the lead car, and the race will add countless changes.
After hesitation, Zhang Yifei made a choice, that is, to give up the gap and let Schumacher pass.
Because he made Schumacher the first car, he still had the capital to turn the tables, and he died with Barrichello, then he was completely out!
Zhang Yifei gritted his teeth and slapped the steering wheel, then clicked the brakes to slow down, allowing Barrichello and Schumacher to pass through the two Ferraris.
However, at this time, things were not as Zhang Yifei imagined, Barrichello used the catapult effect to overtake too fast, and he did not dare to block in front of Schumacher in this gap.
After seeing Zhang Yifei give way, he also planned to change lanes and give way to Schumacher to pass first, and then continue to play the attributes of wingman, to press the two Prost drivers behind the car, and complete the double championship of the Ferrari driver and the team.
As a result, he changed lanes at this speed, and the tires instantly lost their grip, and there was a tendency to slip sideways. Barrichello's rescue car also reacted quickly, and immediately hit the steering wheel to refuel, but the tire grip dropped too much, causing the car's pendulum, and it still inevitably hit Helio parked on the track.
Looking at the accident in front of him, he was forced to step on the brakes again, and Zhang Yifei's speed was reduced to dozens of kilometers per hour.
A red phantom next to the car passed past Zhang Yifei, and Schumacher stepped on the "corpse" of his teammate Barrichello, and without hesitation, he overtook Zhang Yifei and passed through the gap.
On the contrary, the hesitation at this time is an insult to Barrichello's sacrifice and a betrayal of the Ferrari team's strategy. If you want to make it all worthwhile, you can only win the final World Championship title!
Zhang Yifei was going to speed up and change lanes to follow Schumacher, but it turned out that a blue phantom sped past his car and chased Schumacher in front.
There is no doubt that at this time in the race, there is only one driver left who can catch up with Schumacher, and that is Alonso, who is also of the Prost team.
The first brother was never left behind, and at this point he was still following the Ferrari driver.
This series of collision accidents made Zhang Yifei almost stop on the track, and Schumacher was much less affected, but he also slowed down a lot when he passed the gap.
But before Schumacher could celebrate his lead, he suddenly felt the car shake violently, and the whole car turned sideways uncontrollably, and the front of the car directly hit the Renault car next to the gap, completing a 180-degree turn!
The moment the Ferrari car completed its "turn", Schumacher understood why this scene occurred, and it was not Zhang Yifei who caught up. Instead, Alonso, who was behind him in the final stage, crashed into the back of his car in the gap, completing a very classic "American stop".
Alonso suddenly crashed Schumacher, which made the already unexpected spectators and members of the major teams completely stunned.
Everyone thought Schumacher would go back to his old job and make another bad crash.
Unexpectedly, it was not him who did it, but Ferrari No. 2 driver Barrichello, who went to complete the crash.
The problem is that Barrichello did this, everyone can still accept it, who would have thought that in the end it would be Alonso's crash to end Schumacher's title race?
Prost and Scuderia Ferrari, are they bumper cars on the Formula 1 track? Four cars hit three, and only the last driver was left flying?
Alonso, who had completed the crash against Schumacher, had the front nose of the car almost completely damaged, leaving no way to direct the downforce of the air. And with the slippery track and the lack of tire grip, the speed of the car can only be driven very slowly, otherwise it will get out of control at any time.
"Alonso, prepare for the pit stop."
Coser's voice came from the team's voice, and the No. 14 Prost car in this state had only one way left to pit early.
There was no response, and Alonso silently drove into the pit lane, but at this time, an even more surprising scene appeared.
Zhang Yifei, who could have steadily overtaken and maintained the lead in the lead of the lead car, followed Alonso into the pit lane, and he also made an early pit stop.
In general, it is impossible for two drivers to pit at the same time, because there is only one technician team after the maintenance space, and it is impossible to operate two cars at the same time.
Unless you hear the team's instructions incorrectly, or something goes wrong, this kind of oolong scene will happen. Prost crew, or Zhang Yifei because he was nervous and misheard the team's instructions to lead to the pit stop at the same time?
The members of the Prost strategy group knew very well that they did not issue an order for Zhang Yifei to enter the station.
And Zhang Yifei followed Alonso's car, and he saw Alonso drive into the maintenance lane with his own eyes, and it was impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.
As for nervousness? That's just a joke, Zhang Yifei's psychological quality can be described by the word "horror". I wasn't nervous when I was fighting like crazy with Ferrari, but can I still be nervous now that the win is assured?
Zhang Yifei on the No. 13 car, looking at the similarly painted Prost car in front of him, said silently.
"Alonso, this is a favor I have returned to you, without the Ferrari team, in the next race, let you be my opponent as my last opponent."
"This time, we're playing fair!"
