It's so fast!

In Trulli's mind, there were only three words left in his mind, and he really didn't think of any driver who could surpass him with this speed and efficiency.

And Zhang Yifei's speed in the corners just now is also amazing, even Schumacher, who dominated the Suzuka track before, doesn't seem to show such a picture.

In addition to speed, there is another point that shocks Trulli, that is, is this Chinese kid not afraid of death? At this speed just now, if you don't control the final turn, you will rush out of the overpass!

If Zhang Yifei wants to answer this question, it is that he is really not very afraid.

The main reason is that in the last stop of the United States Grand Prix, the towering cement protective wall of Death's Bend, I don't know how many times I have faced it. And compared to the 300 speed of the Reaper Bend, the speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour at Turn 9 of the Suzuka Circuit is simply a sprinkling of water!

Having experienced the horror of true death, this kind of is really nothing.

"Overtaking! When the blue ghost catches up with the opponent, the next step is the reap of death! ”

Ito was excited because, just as he expected, Zhang Yifei overtook in a lap and a half of the race. To put it mildly, it was just at the beginning of the lap that left Trulli behind.

This kind of speed, this kind of efficiency, is a rare picture to see on the track, and even more so among Asian drivers. Today, Ito Yuo was also an eye-opener to witness what the top drivers in the yellow race are like.

Regarding Ito Yuo's exaggerated performance, Brendel, who was sitting next to him, could only shake his head helplessly.

He thought that his previous partners Gonzalez and Lewis were "prejudiced" enough, but he didn't expect that the Japanese event commentator didn't pay attention to the fairness of the commentary.

Of course, Ito Yuo is still a little different from the previous commentators, that is, those European and American commentators, in addition to praising their own countries or supporting drivers, also like Hei Zhang Yifei. But Yuo Ito is different, he only blows and doesn't black!

After overtaking Trulli, Zhang Yifei picked up speed again, and even took some relatively extreme corners.

After 10 laps, the peak grip of the ultra-soft tyres will start to drop, and after 15 laps or so, you have to consider a pit stop for a tyre change.

Once you enter the pit stop, even if you can get it done in two seconds according to the super level performance of the maintenance technicians, you still have to add the delay time of deceleration in and out of the maintenance channel, which is about five or six seconds.

In other words, Zhang Yifei wants to use the three-stop tactic to sprint to the front row, or even the seat of the champion of the sub-station. So every time he makes a pit stop, he is 10 seconds ahead of the other drivers is the basic handicap, 20 seconds has a chance to hit the points zone, and 30 seconds has the possibility of a podium.

Only by about 40 seconds can we really compete for the championship title and stand on the top podium.

That's why no driver in history has ever started from the pits to win the race, it's just too difficult. Not to mention that Zhang Yifei still has a 10-second timeout, and he has developed this ambition in the direction of an impossible miracle.

In the next lap time, Zhang Yifei must be absolutely ahead in order to be qualified to fight with the current front row drivers. Otherwise, you may not be able to see the taillights of Schumacher on pole position throughout the race!

Zhang Yifei's lap time sprint made the other drivers feel a lot of pressure, especially Montoya in front of him.

When he saw the familiar blue Prost car reappeared in the rearview mirror, Montoya really had a feeling that this Chinese boy was haunted, how could he catch up so quickly!

To be honest, Montoya disagreed, and even disdained Zhang Yifei's nickname of "Blue Ghost", before. But at this moment, he deeply realized the essence of this nickname, Zhang Yifei on the track is a ghost that can't be shaken off!

For a moment, the suppressed temper and bloodiness hit Montoya's mind. You like to chase after it, don't you? Then it's a good fight, and I, Montoya, am not a bad seed!

It's really this cat-and-mouse feeling, which makes Montoya so aggrieved, he wants to vent and prove himself!

"Montoya, calm down, don't fight with Fei, continue to get rid of him according to the team's strategy!"

Sir Williams's voice came at the right time, and he was selected as the team's test driver from the very beginning at IndyCar. It can be said that Sir Williams's understanding of Montoya is definitely more than superficial.

He knows that for wild Colombians, there is a limit to forbearance, and Zhang Yifei's crazy chase will definitely trigger Montoya's psychological bottom line, and the next thing is his crazy counterattack.

But this time, defeating Zhang Yifei did not gain much, on the contrary, losing would become a reason to be despised.

What Montoya needs to do is to be absolutely calm and work towards the goals that have been set before. He's going to get into the points and stand on the podium to create a miracle of his own!

Sir Williams's words, like a basin of cold water, restrained the anger in Montoya's heart.

His goal in the F1 paddock is to stand on the top podium, become an F1 World Champion, and eventually become a Grand Slam champion like Villeneuve. And now everything in his career seems to be entangled with a Chinese kid.

Could it be that his dream was just as simple as defeating Zhang Yifei?

Never! My dream is to be a champion!

At this time, Montoya also began to show his own madness, and he didn't pay attention to blocking Zhang Yifei at all.

As long as I'm fast enough, there's no way the Chinese kid can outdo me!

"Are these two people going crazy again?"

McLaren team chairman Dennis, looking at the soaring lap times of Zhang Yifei and Montoya, couldn't help but say a word.

In fact, there is still a trace of envy in his heart, if only one of them was Kimi Raikkonen of his own team.

"BOSS, sometimes it's a blessing for motorsport to have such a couple on the track."

Manager Whitmarsh said with some emotion, this scene on the track reminded him of Lauda and Hunt, Senna and Prost, Schumacher and Damon Hill.

It is precisely the appearance of such opponents that makes the whole Formula 1 more exciting.

"Indeed, with the stimulation of the opponent, you can bring out your potential."

Fourteenth, thirteenth, twelfth......

In the frantic sprint between Zhang Yifei and Montoya, almost every lap a driver was overtaken by the two of them, including some veterans in the F1 paddock.

This Suzuka track seems to have become a playground for Zhang Yifei and Montoya, with a single lap almost ahead of the average lap speed of about 4 seconds, and there is no opponent in a single round.

But Montoya's heart did not have much joy to surpass his opponent, because Zhang Yifei was getting closer and closer to himself. Almost every time he overtakes a car, the Chinese kid can then overtake him, and even perform faster and easier.

The blue shadow in the rearview mirror will disappear for a second or two at most, and will soon reappear, forcing Montoya to drive faster.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei in the back, the expression on his face also tended to be excited, to be honest, he really didn't expect that Montoya at this time still had the strength to fight with him. It seems that he really underestimated the king who won the Indy championship in his rookie season, and indeed his hard power has reached the F1 world championship level.

In the rookie season, Zhang Yifei is not only making rapid breakthroughs, but in fact, Montoya has also been improving. Failure does not mean that you have not learned, especially for the strong, as long as the failure does not defeat you, it is a stronger motivation next time.

On lap 16, Zhang Yifei was already following Montoya's team, in a position where he could launch an overtaking offensive at any time.

However, at this time, Cosell's command came from inside the headphones, and the wear and tear of the supersoft tires had reached the limit, and they had to pit for tire changes.

To be honest, at this moment, Zhang Yifei was full of fighting spirit and extremely emotionally excited, not only did he stimulate Montoya, but the other party also stimulated Zhang Yifei. Crushing or being crushed is not the most exciting moment in the F1 paddock, only the feeling of meeting the opponent is the coolest.

Zhang Yifei really wants to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat Montoya again, and only by defeating an opponent like him can he get a sense of achievement. It's like beating Barrichello and Schumacher.

"Fly, pit lane entrance pit stop!"

Seeing that Zhang Yifei on the track actually launched an attack on Montoya after hearing the team's instructions, Korsell increased his voice and emphasized it again.

If he misses the entrance of the maintenance channel, Zhang Yifei will have to run another lap, and the wear and tear brought by one lap is too great for a "lengthened" track like the Suzuka Circuit. If Zhang Yifei still went up to fight with Montoya, the tires might not be able to catch the ground.

Korcel's serious voice suppressed the surging fighting spirit in Zhang Yifei's heart, and he could only give up the offensive against Montoya and began to pit and change tires.

At the same time, the team of technicians in the maintenance station is already waiting for them at this moment, and they know what any advantage of a few tenths of a second means to Zhang Yifei now. Therefore, these three pit stops cannot tolerate any mistakes, and they must be fast enough!

Montoya, who was on the track, looked at the blue Priest car that disappeared from the entrance of the pit lane, and he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

When he realized this action, Montoya's face instantly became very serious, and he didn't want to admit that even if Zhang Yifei followed behind his car now, he could put so much pressure on him.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you be dismissive and think that you can easily get rid of the Chinese kid?

Montoya gave herself a warning in her heart that no matter what, she must not have any fear. Even if it is a crash, it will be the same as the end, but you can't be afraid of Zhang Yifei's offensive.

If you are afraid, you will lose!
