"I see."

After Zhang Yifei replied briefly, he once again focused on Barrichello.

I have to say that on the Interlagos circuit in Brazil, Barrichello does have the strength of a home driver. It took Zhang Yifei dozens of laps to tie the gap between the starting and the backward start, and it was at the stage where he could attack Barrichello.

The Interlagos circuit is a two-pronged compound corner, consisting of two corners, Faradula and Lalanga, and is shaped like a "mouth" without a horizontal underneath.

Of course, the upper horizontal is not as straight as the Chinese characters, which is a combination of the word "mouth" and the letter "M", highlighting the two vertices.

This double vertex compound turn is one of the most difficult combination turns at the Interlagos circuit, in addition to the difficulty of the curve itself, but also because of the extreme bumps in this section, if measured by the standards of the F1 circuit, it is not too much to call it a bad road.

Extreme bumps can put a lot of stress on the driver's body and affect the car's precise handling. You must know that F1 cars not only have no power, they need to rely on the unicorn arm to hit the steering wheel, and the force of stepping on the brakes is far beyond that of ordinary civilian cars.

Someone has specifically measured the force of the F1 brake to the end, as high as about 70 kilograms, which is definitely a very exaggerated figure. The reason why it is so heavy is that the driver can better control the braking force and will not make various brake mistakes because of the slightest difference in strength.

After all, the F1 braking system is too strong, and the tire grip is also strong under the right circumstances.

So in a sense, F1 is not just a technical sport, it's also a physical sport. If the physical fitness is a little worse, it is useless to have skills, and they can't bear the intensity of the event at all!

Extremely bumpy road surface, will naturally affect the control of the brake and accelerator, just like driving an ordinary car on the muddy ground, left and right up and down crazy bumps, it is difficult to ensure that the strength of your step on the brake or accelerator pedal is exactly the same.

It doesn't matter if you have a good driving force normally, but for a race of the F1 level, any difference in braking or throttle force can cause problems with the routing.

Cosell didn't know if it was the bumps that caused Barrichello to have a flaw in the double vertex compound corner. But whatever the reason, Barrichello couldn't do it perfectly in this corner, and he just gave Zhang a chance!

may have felt the pressure of Zhang Yifei, Barrichello's racing speed increased significantly, and many times he tried to delay the brakes as much as possible, wanting to get rid of Zhang Yifei behind him.

But for Barrichello's mentality, Zhang Yifei has long been prepared. And after eating the wake, unless there is a lot of lead in the corner, it is difficult to be completely thrown off on the general straight, and Zhang Yifei is still close to the back of Barrichello.

However, at this time, Zhang Yifei did not make a tentative overtaking move, he waited for the two cars to enter the double vertex compound corner, which was the location of the one-hit killing!

"After a moment of calm, we saw the Chinese driver flying closely behind Barrichello, and with the way he was flying in the past, he was definitely planning to overtake."

"But this time he is very restrained, is he not confident, or is he waiting for the opportunity?"

Blundell once again set his sights on Zhang Yifei, and after a period of track lull, another important overtaking drama is coming.

It's just that Zhang Yifei's performance this time is very abnormal, and he has been following Barrichello to give pressure, but he has not launched any offensive, which is really not in line with his previous character.

You must know that Zhang Yifei's way of overtaking is to make the front car "tired" through continuous crazy attacks, and finally there are flaws, and then overtake in one fell swoop. This kind of stormy attack puts a lot of pressure on the opponent, but it also needs to have enough strength in the back, otherwise it is easy to get away with it during the fight, and there will be accidents or mistakes.

Gonzalez listened to Blundel's words, his face gloomy and he didn't speak.

Although Barrichello is still in the leading stage, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has actually been suppressed by Zhang Yifei in terms of momentum.

Gonzalez was very unhappy with this, why did Brazil's most promising driver to succeed the Senna title disappoint on his home track?

Not even as good as Colombian driver Montoya, the newcomer overtook Schumacher and made him look at the taillights behind his butt!

However, although Gonzalez was dissatisfied and angry, he could not do it without paying attention to Barrichello. This is the same as the mentality of Chinese fans looking at the national football team, no matter how bad the game is and how hard the scolding is, as long as it can give the fans a little hope, the home stadium can still be full, and the cheering sound is overwhelming.

Not to mention the current performance of Barrichello, it just did not meet the expectations of many Brazilians, and it is still much better than the record of the national football team.

Blundel's sentence of waiting for the right time gave Gonzalez a reminder that the Chinese guys were definitely waiting for an overtaking opportunity, so where would this overtaking point be?

"Double Vertex Compound Bend!"

Gonzalez suddenly shouted this sentence, startling Blundell, the commentator next to him.

"The Chinese driver Fei is waiting for the opportunity to overtake in the double vertex compound corner, and Barrichello must hold his line and not give him any chance to fly!"

Unlike Blundel, Gonzalez is a full-time racing commentator in Brazil and is extremely familiar with the Interlagos circuit.

You must know that an F1 track is not only for Formula 1, but also for formula races such as F3000 and F3. Even other track races, such as GT, touring car championships, car brand races, etc., will also run on the F1 track, and some special track layouts, even motorcycle races will not be absent.

Even in the process of F1 races, there are various cushion races of other events, such as Zhang Yifei's Brazilian Grand Prix, and the mat race is Porsche's Cararere Cup.

So Gonzalez has a lot of experience, and he deduced Zhang Yifei's overtaking point, because the double vertex compound corner is the most difficult point of the Interlagos circuit, and the increase in difficulty means that the mistakes are fiercely increased, and Zhang Yifei wants to overtake Barrichello, and there is only this opportunity!

Almost as Gonzalez shouted this sentence, the Ferrari team's strategy team also guessed Zhang Yifei's overtaking point.

After all, it is the NO1 team in the current F1 paddock, and the strength of Ferrari's strategy group should never be underestimated, although more than ten years later, this strategy group has been dubbed "mentally retarded" by many people.

But in this day and age, the Ferrari Strategy Group stands for professionalism and absolute authority.

If it weren't for the fact that the team's resources were basically placed on Schumacher, they might have judged earlier that the overtaking point Zhang Yifei wanted was in the double vertex compound corner.

Barrichello heard the reminder from the team's strategy team, and he glanced at Zhang Yifei who was following him, and the muscles on his face were extremely tense.

Barrichello's mentality in this game has actually been unstable, probably because he wants to win too much, which leads to his fear of losing.

And in a game, being afraid is equal to losing!

So Barrichello's performance was not good, and he was even overtaken by Montoya in the initial stage. But after all, he is an F1 veteran, and in a top team like Ferrari, he has adjusted well behind him, and his lap time and other things have played at a normal level.

It's just that now Zhang Yifei has caught up and put a lot of pressure on him, and when he hears the overtaking point, this pressure has come to a critical value.

Truth be told, Barrichello himself didn't understand why there was such pressure. It may be that after he joined the Ferrari team, his results began to change qualitatively, and the Brazilian audience regarded themselves as Senna's successors, and their expectations were a little too high.

Sometimes pressure can be turned into motivation, and when the expectation is to surpass the driver's ability, pressure is not necessarily a good thing. Just like the current Barrichello, he actually doesn't have the strength to crush his opponents on the Interlagos circuit, but the atmosphere on the scene has made him a little unable to get off the stage.

The double vertex compound bend was in front of him, and Barrichello took a deep breath and shook the miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind. Now that he knows Zhang Yifei's overtaking point, it is impossible for him to let the Chinese kid overtake him!

Barrichello also fought hard at this time, using extreme late braking to enter the first corner of the double vertex compound corner, wanting to get rid of Zhang Yifei and not give him any chance to eat the wake.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Yifei's speed was not slow at all, and both of them were like walking a tightrope, using what can be called the ultimate speed into the corner. Whoever makes the slightest mistake will not only be thrown off by the opponent, but may also rush off the track and lose the whole race.

However, at this time, neither of them cared about any risks, and for Zhang Yifei, this was his only chance. It's just that Zhang Yifei didn't know that the Ferrari strategy team already knew his overtaking point.

Or to put it another way, they are too small to think of the Laley team's strategy team, and it is not normal to not find out.

So the way of overtaking that used loopholes to beat opponents became a kind of hard hit. But there is one thing that Zhang Yifei still maintains an advantage, that is, Barrichello did not find out where his control flaws are!

The two men entered the corner at frantic speed, then both passed through the center of the corner and entered the bumpest section of the track.

Barrichello's control is still very stable, and there are no flaws, which makes Zhang Yifei wonder in his heart whether it is a mistake in Koser's judgment, or that this kind of operation flaw appeared by chance.

The handling pressure brought by the bumpy road section was very high, and Zhang Yifei did not dare to overtake rashly, but when the second entry of the double vertex slowed down, Zhang Yifei suddenly found that Barrichello braked heavily, and even showed signs of locking.

This scene simply made Zhang Yifei a little unable to believe his eyes, because this can no longer be described as a flaw, but can be compared to the level of a mistake.

At the critical moment of the home matchup, Barrichello can make such a mistake?
