Didn't Heidfeld finish sixth last season? Why is it that there is a rider flying behind me now?

In Montoya's heart, he asked himself with great doubts, even if the paint of the Prost car has changed from the previous pure blue to a blue and red mixed with Ferrari red, he will never forget the number 13 on the front of the car, which is the unique car number of "Death Flying"!

However, when the white Sauber car was faintly displayed in the rearview mirror, Montoya instantly understood that Heindfeld was overtaken by Zhang Yifei!

Overtaking from the start isn't uncommon, but it's rare to be so aggressive on the first lap at a stage like qualifying. After all, the oil temperature did not reach the optimal conditions on the first lap, and even if you tried your best, it was impossible to run the top lap time.

And your unbridled overtaking is undoubtedly a provocation in the eyes of other drivers.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no malicious blocking in the qualifying race, everyone wants to run the fastest lap, and the convenience of others is the convenience of themselves.

The rules of qualifying in this era are not eliminated in batches like in later generations, if you are so provocative, maybe after the ring appears, the opponent will directly retaliate and press the car, and the big deal will be on the bar.

Therefore, the qualifying races are more restrained, unless there is a festival itself, and two people drive a fighting car, otherwise it is rare to have such a scene of starting and overtaking.

Zhang Yifei has clashed with many drivers on the track, which is a well-known thing. But I've never heard of what the driver Fei has with Heidfeld, this Chinese kid was inflated last season, do you really think you can be unscrupulous in F1?

But there was no time for Montoya to think about the reason behind it, Zhang Yifei had already shortened the distance with him rapidly, and the front nose wing came to the rear wheel position.

Have you declared war on me?

After Montoya saw Zhang Yifei overtaking Heidfeld, he did not intend to overtake himself continuously without the slightest hesitation, and the expression on his face could be described as gloomy and dripping.

To be honest, this season, Montoya has actually been in a relatively low-key state from the winter testing stage to the present.

The painful defeat of last season smoothed out many edges and corners of his character, and the aura of the Indy's annual champion has also been dimmed from Montoya's new season with the more flamboyant American driver Helio entering the F1 paddock.

Throughout the winter break, Montoya was more of a frenzied training man, honing his skills.

The motto that Zhang Yifei often boasted before: low-key, forbearance, and killing, is not much of a problem for Montoya. He overtook Williams No. 1 Ralf Schumacher in the winter test to finish fifth of all drivers.

This lap time doesn't seem to be an exaggeration, but you must know that this year's winter test can be called a "battle of the gods". Even the peak Schumacher, paired with the historical Ferrari F2002 Mars rover, was forced to be suppressed to the third position.

To be able to run the fifth-fastest lap is a testament to Montoya's quality, and he is even stronger than last season.

Montoya was still waiting for the main match to rekindle the war with Zhang Yifei, but he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to take himself in his eyes at all, and he was ready to fight so soon!

Then come on, rider fly! Let you feel my strength this year!

Without the slightest hesitation, Montoya also stepped on the floor oil to the end, and Williams's new generation of "Saber-toothed Tiger" FW24 made a roaring sound like a tiger's roar, and began to compete with Zhang Yifei's AP05 racing car for speed.

After so many years, the Williams team may not be as strong as the factory team in other aspects, but it has never lagged behind others in terms of R&D investment in racing cars.

This is where the capital of the Williams team stands tall in the Big Three, the "Sabertooth Tiger" chariot, which has the strength to compete with any Mars rover!

100km/h、200km/h、300km/h！

In less than a few seconds after the start, the speed of the two floor-oil cars has reached such an exaggerated level. This kind of acceleration is also the most vivid display of the furious performance of the F1 car!

Perhaps the horsepower of F1 cars is not the most exaggerated, the failure rate can also be said to be terrible, and all kinds of maintenance are extremely troublesome.

But it's the most high-tech product on the planet, made purely for racing.

The impact of this speed and mechanical performance made many spectators in the stands who came to the scene for the first time feel that their blood was ignited, and at this moment they truly understood what it meant to be fast and furious!

When Montoya stepped on the floor oil to change gears, Zhang Yifei's Prost car had almost reached the stage of being parallel to him. It can only be said that at the starting moment, Montoya did not give his best, and wanted to wait for the car to reach the perfect stage of various working conditions, and then fight for the fastest lap.

However, he is not worried that he is accelerating late, even if Zhang Yifei runs the fastest lap in the winter test, this section is a long straight acceleration, relying on the absolute performance of the car.

Montoya did not believe that Prost's R&D capabilities could reach the point of competing with Williams. Last year, the long straight road could eat you Zhang Yifei, and today's new generation of "saber-toothed tigers" can also eat your Prost car!

The two men picked up crazy speed side by side, and after a long straight start, the track was headed for Turn 1.

This Turn 1 is a right-angle bend of nearly 90 degrees, and after the next high-speed Turn 2, Turn 3 is a 90-degree right-angle bend, and the layout resembles a zigzag, except that the middle side is sandwiched by a High-Speed Turn No. 2.

These three successive speed reduction turns will reduce the speed of the car to about 90 km/h when exiting Turn 3. This means that whoever can get to Turn 1 first will win the straight-line acceleration.

Montoya was originally full of confidence, but he unexpectedly found that when the two cars were accelerating in parallel, Zhang Yifei's slightly lagging body was completely parallel to himself, and as time went by, the front nose began to lead him!

No way!

When Montoya saw this scene, his eyes were full of disbelief, Prost Racing was actually in the straight acceleration, not inferior to Williams Racing, and it could even be said that it was slightly ahead?

There is absolutely no problem with their shift speed and timing, it can only be the gap in the performance of the car, Montoya never imagined that one day, the "tractor" that was eaten by himself can surpass the invincible "saber-toothed tiger"!

Zhang Yifei relied on this slight performance lead to take the lead in the No. 1 corner, completely overtook Montoya in the corner, and came to the fifth from the seventh position at the start.

"Montoya was overtaken in a straight line, what the hell is he doing!"

Sir Williams looked at the scene on the track and slammed his fist on the pit console, and his heart was more shocked than angry!

He knows Montoya's strength, and after a season, Sir Williams also thinks that the Colombian superstar is already slightly inferior to Zhang Yifei.

It's just that the gap between the two people has not reached the point of crushing, it is almost four or six open, whoever is more familiar with the track and plays better can take the advantage.

Montoya worked so hard during the winter break that he gave up his vacation altogether to spend four months on the team track in private training. It can be said that the strength has improved significantly compared with last year's rookie stage.

Sir Williams even thinks that if this year's Montoya is put in last season, it has the strength to compete with Schumacher for the title!

As a result, I never expected that Montoya would be even more unbearable this year than facing Zhang Yifei last year, and she could lose if she started straight and accelerated?

"Although Montoya was careless, I don't think he can be blamed for this, maybe this year's Prost car is really a Mars rover."

Technical director Pat Symonds explained to Montoya, letting Zhang Yifei catch up and side by side, it was indeed the first lap of qualifying, Montoya did not make a serious effort, which is also the common behavior of all drivers on the track.

But the straight-line acceleration picture, he can see it clearly through the on-board camera, Zhang Yifei is relying on the performance of Prost racing, and he ate Montoya on the straight.

Previously, when the Prost AP05 car won the title of the fastest car in the winter test, many teams were actually unconvinced, especially the Big Three teams. thinks that he didn't play his best, and the last lap was more of Zhang Yifei and Helio fighting for their lives, so there was such an exaggerated lap time.

Now it seems that everyone really underestimates Prost racing, this is not the state of the "tractor" in previous years, this is the strength of the rover!

Hearing Simmonds's words, Sir Williams, who was still extremely angry before, fell silent in an instant.

Because he thought of one thing, Zhang Yifei, who drove a backward Peugeot engine last year, showed the strength of a super newcomer. So this year, he got his wish to get a high-performance car, and what kind of terrifying results will he deliver, is it said that he wants to beat the Big Three teams and win the world championship?

No! This is just the beginning, Montoya and Ralph are strong enough that they won't be beaten so easily!

Sir Williams suppressed the astonishing thought in his heart and set his eyes back on the track, the "war" had just begun!

At this moment, Zhang Yifei on Prost Racing looked at Montoya's car in the rearview mirror, the expression on his face was very cold, but the emotions in his heart were turbulent!

Once upon a time, when I accelerated on the long straights, I was like a younger brother, bullied by other more powerful cars. If you make a mistake in blocking the car slightly, or if the wake is not eaten, then you will be thrown away by the opponent.

Feng Shui takes turns, I didn't expect that today, Montoya, who drove the "Sabertooth Tiger" car, also had a day when I was given a hard bite by my Prost AP05 on the long straight.

If you can, Zhang Yifei really wants to interview Montoya, whether it feels cool to be eaten hard!
