759 King of Monaco

"Alonso, has this changed?"

Team leader Henry looked at this scene on the track, and his feelings can be described as very complicated.

Because of the relationship between Zhang Yifei and Zhang Yifei, most of the crew members, including Henry, don't like this Spanish kid very much. Even the refusal to pit just now made Henry feel very angry, and he considered it to be a blatant disobedience to the team's instructions.

The current Prost team is no longer the bottom team that is about to go out of business, and if you want to become one of the Big Three, it is clear that you can't do it without discipline and strict rewards and punishments.

Henry originally planned to severely punish Alonso after the game, and even communicated with the owner Prost and held a collective meeting to decide whether Alonso is still suitable for the Prost team.

As a result, Henry did not expect that the reason for Alonso's disobedience was to block Zhang Yifei's car.

This is simply a completely illogical thing, how can the Spaniard who sees flying as his worst enemy, and wants to challenge and take the position of No. 1 driver all the time, risk losing control and do such a thankless task?

Could it be that he recognized his strength and position, and finally chose to completely "surrender" on this Monaco circuit?

But the question is, even if he wants to block the car, he can make it clear to the team that there is no need to use this way of disobedience, just because of the face and pride that he can't let go?

'He hasn't changed, that's Alonso's character.'

When Cod heard this, he replied calmly, as Alonso's race engineer, and the entire Prost team, no one knew the head brother better than him.

The Spanish kid is the kind of real self-confidence and arrogance, and he always believes that his strength can stand on the top of the world. It is precisely because of putting oneself in the position of the strong that it is impossible to accept the guidance and "charity" of other strong people like a weak person.

If he doesn't do this, if he doesn't return the favor, it will represent a real change for Alonso. This means that he put himself in the position of the weak and accepted Zhang Yifei's help with peace of mind.

So there was no surprise on Code's face, even in the eyes of the outside world, Alonso was still "vegetable and jumping", but this Spanish boy never lowered his head.

Just like Alonso's strength declined in later generations, coupled with his annoying personality, it was difficult to gain a foothold in the top team, and he was unwilling to let go of his pride and go to the middle and lower teams to make a living. Instead, he went to Indy, wanting to open up a new stage in another kind of formula racing.

This is Spain's best driver, Fernando Alonso, who stands in the F1 Hall of Fame!

Henry's conversation with Cod was heard in Cosell's ears, and he never expressed his opinion.

The reason is simple, Kossel is a true pure race engineer who never thinks about a driver's personality or whether he wants to change it, just whether the driver can live up to his requirements.

Even if it's a thorny head and a freak with a personality, as long as he doesn't break the law, Kossel can accept it.

After all, the standard of an F1 driver is strength and skill, not moral model.

In a sense, this is the essential reason why Kosell was able to accept Zhang Yifei's invitation at the beginning. If Caser weren't so pure, no one who had been an F1 engineer and had spent time in the pinnacle McLaren strategy group would have chosen to join a team of junior Chinese drivers.

On the one hand, they can't see Zhang Yifei's future development and potential, and on the other hand, they become a race engineer for Chinese drivers at that time, which is undoubtedly a very low-grade and face-losing thing.

Only Kossel doesn't care about this, he takes a fancy to Zhang Yifei's persistence and self-confidence, as well as his desire for the championship!

Just like the doubts of the members of the Prost crew, the Ferrari strategy team watched Schumacher being killed by Zhang Yifei and Alonso, and the expression on his face was also wonderful, completely unexpected.

Then again, this is indeed the case, after all, even the Prost team itself is confused, how can Ferrari not be surprised?

"Shumi still didn't stop it after all, and with the strength that Alonso just showed, it seems that Prost's rise is already unstoppable."

Jean Todd's eyes are no longer on this Grand Prix, but he is shocked by Alonso's strength and has a strong sense of crisis about the future of Ferrari.

Because of the cooperation of Prost's two drivers just now, it was too perfect, flying the main attack, Alonso defending, and even Schumacher didn't have much power to parry.

Of course, there is an element of car tuning, but it is also important to consider that on this track, both Prost drivers are running for the first time, and in fact, their advantage is not so great, and it is more on their own strength to win the victory.

In this situation, even the Ferrari duo that Jean Todd is proud of may not be able to stand on a high point and look down on them in the face of the future Prost Twins.

"It's really strong, and I kind of understand why the Prost riders have never teamed up before. Because Alonso is stronger than we expected, and his potential is also amazing, a young strong man with a high heart will not easily obey another young strong man. ”

Ross Brown finally found the crux of the problem and solved the confusion that had been there before.

It's just a bit costly to figure out why, and one of the most important races in the F1 paddock, the title of "King of Monaco", could be lost as a result.

"Prost is really lucky."

Jean Todd said in an envious tone that the two drivers under the French are both "rookie" drivers who have not been looked down upon in the F1 paddock before.

The result is now like a metamorphosis, a man who has become one of the top drivers and has proven that he has what it takes to challenge for the world championship. On the other hand, after this race, it is estimated that no one will look at him with a rookie eye anymore, and he will step into the top ranks in half a step.

Ordinary teams at the back can get a driver like this, which is hard to come by. The Prost team's character exploded, and it actually gathered two such top drivers, and it seems that the Big Three team rankings in the F1 paddock, which have been stable for more than ten years, have finally come to a time for change.

"But Shumi hasn't lost yet, we still have a chance to overtake."

Rose Brown heard a hint of heroic sigh in Jean Todd's tone, so he spoke with relief.

"Yes, as long as Shumi is still there, there is hope."

Jean Todd agrees that if any driver is overtaken at such a time, his form and fighting spirit will fall to a low point, and there is no hope of a comeback.

But he is Schumacher, who came from the age of the "gods" and became a myth of a new generation in his own right. No matter how bad the situation is and how little hope there is, as long as Schumacher is around, Scuderia Ferrari will never give up!

In fact, Schumacher on the track also did not give up, he was still desperately chasing Zhang Yifei.

It's just that the narrow layout of the Monaco circuit and his "half-crippled" tuning scheme no longer have any competitiveness in the face of the firepower Prost car.

Even if he is still extremely strong in terms of strength and has no control over the track, he still can't catch up with Zhang Yifei in front of him after all.

At the sixty-fifth lap, Zhang Yifei, whose grip was at its peak, finally used the acceleration advantage in a narrow combination corner to completely shake off Schumacher, so that he could no longer eat his wake.

From this moment on, it can almost be described as a winning game, and as the state and momentum increased, Zhang Yifei's speed became faster and faster, and he even sprinted towards the track record set by Schumacher!

"Fei has reached a lap time of 1:14.705 and is only 0.05 seconds away from Schumacher's track record of 1:14.641, can he be faster on the next lap?"

"If he could, he would score a hat-trick at the Monaco circuit and use his dominant performance and strength to announce the birth of a new generation of Monaco kings!"

Jacques was very excited to explain the situation on the track, he thought that this time Zhang Yifei could surpass Schumacher and win the Monaco Grand Prix, which was already the limit.

As a result, I didn't expect that as the race was coming to an end, Zhang Yifei's condition was getting better and better, and his speed was getting faster and faster, and he was about to break the track record!

You must know that in the previous qualifying race, Zhang Yifei had broken the fastest lap created by Schumacher and ran his own "magic lap". If he can still break the track record now, then Zhang Yifei can be said to have completely defeated Schumacher, and he can no longer find any doubts.

Can I see with my own eyes today the collapse of the Schumacher era after eight years?

"I had a chance, I felt like I was flying faster and he had a good chance of breaking the track record. Let's look forward to the final lap time and witness the birth of the conqueror from the East! ”

Blundell locked his eyes on the broadcast screen, and he had a hunch in his heart that Zhang Yifei was faster on this lap, and there was a high probability that he would break the track record.

If it really appeared, then he and Jacques would definitely be a historic moment on the F1 track, the first time that a driver from the East took control of the crown jewel of F1.

He is looking forward to becoming a witness to history, just as he witnessed the birth of the first Chinese F1 Grand Prix champion at the Austrian Grand Prix!

"It's broken! The lap time of 1:14.598 broke the track record set by Schumacher in 1999. Add in the pole position and the fastest lap in qualifying, and only the final champion remains, and Fei will become the new king of Monaco! ”

When he saw the bright red lap numbers on the screen, Blundell stood up directly and excitedly, and explained in a hoarse voice.

This is definitely a historic moment, only the last race winner remains, Zhang Yifei will break all of Schumacher's eight years of records at the Monaco circuit, and no one will question the Chinese boy's control of this "pearl"!

Laps 70, 75 and 77......

When the running reached the last moment, the entire Monaco circuit almost became Zhang Yifei's personal show stage.

Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams were all put aside, and the 250,000 spectators stood up and waited for the black and white checkered flags on the track. Because they all know that when this flag comes out, it will be the birth of a new generation of kings, representing the change of the times!

On lap 78, Zhang Yifei's tire grip had declined, and he slowed down his speed a little to avoid any out-of-control accidents due to insufficient grip.

But that didn't detract from his lead in the race as the blue and red No. 13 Prost crossed the starting line with a black-and-white checkered flag on the edge of the track.

This flag, like a flame, ignited the long-suppressed passion of the audience on the track.

"Win, the championship belongs to Prost, belongs to Zhang Yifei!"

"Fly the car, the king of Monaco of the new generation!"

"Fly, I finally see you conquer Monaco and take control of the crown jewel of F1!"

"Monaco, Indianapolis, Zhang Yifei has conquered the two most important formula cars, and he is the undisputed king!"

"So the Monaco records are broken, Schumacher, your time is over!"

The sound of crazy cheers resounded throughout the track, not only the Chinese audience, but everyone was cheering and cheering for Zhang Yifei.

This is the charm of the Monaco circuit, and fans all over the world look at the quality of the drivers in the purest form of racing.

The victor deserves such a compliment!

Schumacher, who crossed the finish line for the second, listened to the cheers of Zhang Yifei from the audience, and listened to the honor enjoyed by this winner, and there was an incomparable sense of loss and frustration in his heart.

It's not like he hasn't lost on this circuit, with both Panis and Coulthard winning the Monaco title in front of him. Schumacher has not lost to Zhang Yifei, and the two have always maintained a close score this season, almost competing for the championship one stop at a time.

It's just that the Monaco Grand Prix has a special importance and significance for F1 drivers.

This is the most important track in Formula 1, and it is one that the king driver must dominate. The loss of control of Monaco often meant the end of the era of a king driver, and this was how Senna replaced Prost.

Later, he also used the same way to replace Senna's position in the F1 car world.

More importantly, today's victory of Zhang Yifei can be described as a comprehensive crushing, which may be comparable to the 88 Monaco Grand Prix, Senna's 1.4-second crushing of Prost.

Schumacher has lost, but never so badly and so completely as he does today.

If Schumacher had always had an undoubted attitude about whether he could win the final victory, then now listening to the cheers of the audience, his confidence has been shaken for the first time, and he has lost the belief that he will definitely win!
