632 is unstoppable
Zhang Yifei's rapid overtaking was beyond the expectations of everyone at the scene, and even the audience didn't expect that it would be so effortless.
"It's too fast, it's really too fast, I didn't even react to what happened just now, Zhang Yifei had already overtaken the front."
"Damn, is Zhang Yifei so strong now? It feels like the driver at the end is no match for him at all. ”
"Of course he is so strong, two consecutive championships in the sub-station plus the Indy 500 king, which newcomer can compare to Zhang Yifei?"
"The Imperial Demon King-level driver, His Excellency Zhang Yifei, the next-generation king, is the strongest driver!"
"Death will harvest the battlefield, and the riders ahead will only usher in the death knell!"
Although it was only a passing of the last driver, the atmosphere on the track was indescribably frenzied.
There may be a trend that things must be reversed, in the previous events in Europe and the United States, Zhang Yifei was suppressed too hard by the home audience, and now it is his turn to "semi-home" territory, these supporters of Zhang Yifei can finally release themselves to praise Zhang Yifei's record!
"Montoya, Zhang Yifei has surpassed Pennis, you have to speed up."
Sir Williams' voice, which reached Montoya's ears, told him about the current situation on the track.
"So fast?"
Montoya was a little secretly frightened by this news, you must know that he and Zhang Yifei started at the same pit stop, and the difference was 10 seconds.
But he only surpassed the last-ranked driver Pannis 7 seconds ago, and Zhang Yifei has now surpassed it, which means that the gap between the two sides has been shortened by 3 seconds!
The four-lap race is shortened by 3 seconds, which is not a very exaggerated number, but in the master duel, the slightest difference will determine the winner or loser, and Montoya did not expect Zhang Yifei to catch up so quickly.
The Chinese kid is a formidable opponent, and the Williams team has reached a consensus on this, and if he catches up too early and Montoya is forced into a fight with Zhang Yifei, it will not be good news for the Williams team.
After all, Williams is the last of the Big Three teams this year, and there is a 22-point gap with the second-placed McLaren team.
Therefore, the Williams team needs more points, and it is better for Montoya to create a miracle to stand on the podium, so that the Williams team can maintain its current advertising sponsorship and influence.
Without the slightest hesitation, Montoya stepped on the accelerator and began to attack Bernaldi of the Toyota team in front. He must surpass his opponent in the shortest possible time, otherwise he will be caught up by Zhang Yifei further behind.
In fact, at this moment, there is something in Montoya's heart that he doesn't want to admit, that is, Montoya doesn't want to face Zhang Yifei.
Whether it is fear or not, or out of rational interests, at least Montoya does not have the momentum to find Zhang Yifei to fight, and even the courage to win even at the cost of crashing.
Bernaldi is very weak, basically except for Marquis of the Minardi team before, he is the slowest on the track.
With Montoya's current strength and technology, it is definitely not too much to crush Bernaldi, and after a few corners, he easily surpassed his opponent, and there were two drivers between him and Zhang Yifei.
"Montoya is also very strong, surpassing three opponents in five laps, and it is still catching up and overtaking, which is really worthy of being the king of India."
Yuo Ito also used an admiring tone to introduce Montoya's overtaking offensive on the track.
Speaking from his heart, Montoya overtook the three riders in the back row in just five laps, and was not inferior to Zhang Yifei's crazy chase. In terms of gold content alone, it is also necessary to surpass the previous three opponents of Alessi, after all, the Suzuka track has a downhill advantage at the beginning, and it has always been the best place to start and overtake.
"I've never questioned Montoya's quality, he has the potential to be a superstar."
Blundell also agreed that Montoya's performance this season, if you put aside the losses to Zhang Yifei, you can definitely use the word amazing to describe it.
Even if he loses to Zhang Yifei, at least he still has the strength to fight. Because Montoya did not lose in the potential and ceiling, but his Indy-style driving skills are too rough, if he can be more delicate and pay more attention to his own line, instead of fighting for speed, there will be a lot of room for improvement in the future.
"Montoya also has no intention of giving up, he wants to prove that the ability to create miracles is not only for Chinese boys, but also for him."
Watching Montoya chase so frantically, McLaren team chairman Dennis said that even in the team pit, he could feel Montoya's heart that refused to admit defeat.
"Any driver has the ambition to be at the top, especially if he has the ability, so Montoya won't throw in the towel."
Manager Whitmarsh agreed.
The pit start was a huge disadvantage, but in the final battle, where all the standings were almost already determined, the opposite could be an advantage.
That's the last ranked driver, you can show yourself to your heart's content, you can show off your operations.
In a sense, the number of front-row drivers running now is not the focus of the media and the audience, because their qualifying position is no longer in suspense. And the madness of Zhang Yifei and Montoya, on the contrary, many viewers are curious about how far they can finally counterattack.
"I hope that Kimi can join this rookie show today."
Dennis mentioned Kimi Raikkonen, in fact, in his heart, he still likes this Finnish kid very much.
It's just that the performance of the Finnish kid in the past year has put Dennis, as the chairman of the team, under a lot of pressure.
McLaren Racing can take in new talent, they can develop potential, but they have to be truly talented drivers who show their absolute potential. Otherwise, the Big Three teams will not give the drivers time after year to slowly improve.
At the end of the year, Dennis needed Kimi Raikkonen to come up with something for him to report to the group's management, and finally save the young Finnish Iceman and give him another year to prove himself.
Now on the track, Montoya and Zhang Yifei are both performing very well, and Kimi Raikkonen will inevitably reach this level. Otherwise, even if he is qualified, under the backdrop of the other party, he can only appear to be not good enough.
"Yes, I always believe in Kimi and I believe in Hakkinen's vision. The successor from the racing country will not be far behind! ”
Whitmarsh said with firm confidence that the Finnish boy's ceiling and achievements are definitely more than that, and he will definitely perform better in his future career!
The frenzied chase on the track continued, and after overtaking the Anglo-American team Panis, Zhang Yifei rushed to catch up with Renault's Jenson Button in front of him.
This year, the future F1 world champion, Kimi Raikkonen is not the only one who has performed garbage in the rookie stage, and it is not only the "head brother" Alonso, Jenson Button, the world champion driver, is not much better at the moment.
If the iceman Kimi Raikkonen has a style of his own, then Alonso is a bit like Senna, with a hot style. As for Jenson Barton, he leaned towards Prost's style.
You can not see how strong and dazzling he is on the track, but his results in every fight are consistent and terrible. And the main thing is that it is very comprehensive and has no shortcomings, and he can run as fast as the car can go.
So later, with the advent of the Renault era, Jenson Barton's results began to break through, and finally reached the top.
Of course, this is all a matter of later, the current Renault team is a new army that has just entered the F1 paddock, and has not yet given full play to the R&D advantages of the Renault-Nissan alliance, plus Jenson Button's conservative and stable style, and will not be crazy to block Zhang Yifei, so he quickly overtook easily.
Seeing that Jenson Button didn't make any decent blocks, the expression on Renault's manager Briatoli's face was complicated.
For Jenson Button, in fact, he did not expect too much, after all, this is the driver of the Williams team to give way to Montoya, and if he is strong, he will not be robbed of his official driver's position by the "newcomer" Montoya.
It's just that this guy's performance for a year is really a bit unbearable. Let's say that his skills are not good, there are no shortcomings on the track, and his basic skills are solid, sometimes like a textbook.
Let's say that the mentality is not good, I was kicked by the Williams team once, and after a year of running this kind of results, I didn't see any signs of nervousness or explosion in Jenson Button, even more calm than the team's strategy team.
But I just don't know why, this guy's performance on the track has not been able to go up, and he always feels that he lacks an upper limit of explosiveness.
The historical Jenson Button is indeed the most non-existent world champion), and is even described by the current Renault manager Briatoli as a stone on the side of the road.
There are two metaphors for this roadside stone, one is that Patton is too slow, and the other is that he is as inconspicuous as the roadside stone.
"If Ghosn had been a little more long-term, this year's rookie driver would not have been Jenson Button, but the Chinese kid who overtook him."
Seeing that his drivers were so vulnerable, Bob Bell, Renault's technical director, said very unhappily.
I've seen a poor vision, but I really haven't seen a vision so bad as Renault's vice president Ghosn, who couldn't see the potential of drivers flying in Renault Formula when he was in Formula Renault?
"President Ghosn's rank is too high, and it is impossible to pay special attention to a Chinese newcomer. There are countless track newcomers in the history of F1, and not everyone can reach the height of the Chinese kid, it can only be said that this is God's will. ”
Briatoli is a management businessman, and naturally not as simple and crude as the technocratic Bell's thinking.
Maybe many people are laughing at Ghosn for having no vision at the beginning, but in fact, Ghosn doesn't look down on Zhang Yifei, which is inevitable. There is too much difference between the two levels, not to mention a junior Formula driver, even a Formula 1 driver, who may not be able to talk to Ghosn.
It can only be said that the Renault team pattern is destined this year, and if you want to improve, it depends on the operation after the end of the season.
In the process of the dialogue between Briatoli and Bell, Zhang Yifei successively surpassed the Toyota team Bernoldi in front of him, with an unstoppable momentum, God blocked and killed God, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha!
