"It's all very good this time!"

Team leader Henry had a smile on his face, he thought that the Japanese Grand Prix was hopeless, and he had to count the past to prepare for next year's new season.

As a result, I didn't expect that the performance of the two drivers can be described as a surprise. Zhang Yifei's performance is okay, after all, this young man is crazy, and he has long been prepared to make a desperate bet.

But the French veteran Alessi, who climbed all the way to third and had a chance to be on the podium, was really beyond everyone's expectations.

According to this trend, as long as Zhang Yifei can surpass Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen in front, the scene of super counterattack will happen again, and who will dare to say that the Prost team is a weak team in the future?

"It looks like we're going to see the real rise of Prost next year."

Design director Leo was also full of confidence, and he did not show up in the team's pit for the first two stops to design the aerodynamic shape of the new AP05 car. With the next generation of Prost cars in shape, he also had time to watch the final battle in Japan.

Today's results of the Prost team are only out of the bottom, and there is still a distance from the real strong team, especially the last place of the Big Three, which has more than 80 points, more than double the fourth place team.

Tomorrow, with the excellent performance of the car and the good form of the two drivers, we will completely sweep away the slump of last year's defeat and enter the competition of strong teams. If the development is good enough, maybe it can still compete for the position of the Big Three, once the Benetton team has succeeded, the Jordan team has also successfully squeezed into the top three, now it is the turn of the Prost team to play!

The crew members in the pit were furious, but Korcel was unusually calm, and it was only an assumption that the last minute of the race would come. And Zhang Yifei's second pit stop is coming soon, and this time he needs to refuel, which will take longer.

"Fly, overtake Verstappen, try to bite Kimi Raikkonen or overtake Kimi Raikkonen before the second pit stop."

Cowsell gave the team order, and now Zhang Yifei is in front of Toyota's veteran Verstappen, whose career record is also at the level of middle and lower drivers. Especially at the end of his career, it's not an exaggeration to call him a last-tier driver.

The elder Verstappen reappeared in the public eye, mainly because he gave birth to a good son, and Verstappen Jr. had the potential to beat Hamilton and become the next World Champion.

After all, the six-time champion Hamilton and the Mercedes-Benz team have almost reached the point of "covering the sky with one hand". Although it is not as exaggerated as the five-year reign of the Ferrari dynasty in terms of continuity, in fact, in terms of winning percentage, the dominance of the winning year has surpassed that of the current Scuderia Ferrari.

If nothing else, Schumacher's title of seven crowns will be surpassed by Hamilton, at least at the level of a draw.

Just like when Senna was in power, the audience hoped that Schumacher's rise would pose some threat to the king. So now that the new generation of king Hamilton exists, fans naturally hope that a young opponent will appear, otherwise there is not much fun in the game without suspense.

Of course, this is almost twenty years later, and the current "turret" Verstappen is just a few years old. Zhang Yifei can't afford to delay too much effort on old Verstappen, and must complete the overtaking as soon as possible and then complete the convergence with Alessi.

Otherwise, with Alessi's current strength, it will be difficult for him to stop Schumacher Jr.'s all-out attack after the stop.

In the face of Zhang Yifei's attack, the old Verstappen also carried out some regular defense, and the performance was not very intense. Maybe he also knew in his heart that it was impossible to block the Chinese boy, and there was no need to cause a big risk.

And there is another point, the old Verstappen is one of the few drivers in the F1 paddock who is more optimistic about Zhang Yifei from the beginning. Although there is a matchmaking relationship with Alessi, at least the elder Verstappen is friendly in his attitude.

Maybe this has something to do with his imminent retirement, there is not much conflict of interest between him and Zhang Yifei, and he can use veteran drivers to look at the mentality of the new generation of juniors, hoping that the future F1 drivers will be stronger.

On the thirtieth lap of the race, Zhang Yifei officially overtook Toyota's Verstappen and came to the sixth position, which also means that he has entered the points zone!

Starting from the pits, stopping for 10 seconds, and being able to rush into the pit lane cannot be said to be absent in the entire history of F1, but there are very few, after all, there are too many objective conditions required.

And once he enters the points area, coupled with the presence of the No. 2 driver of the same team in front of him, the possibility of Zhang Yifei hitting the podium has also greatly increased. When Zhang Yifei appeared on the red super soft tires before the game, many people thought that his idea of wanting to hit the championship was similar to the arrogance of a madman.

But at this moment, Zhang Yifei has proved with his practical actions that everything is possible!

"Your Excellency Yifei is really terrifying, worthy of being an imperial ace driver!"

Seeing Zhang Yifei rushing into the points area, the brain-dead fan Ito Yusheng couldn't help but sigh again.

After all, this scene was something he couldn't have imagined before, but now an Asian driver has done it!

Hearing Ito's emotion, after the whole game, Blundell began to slowly adapt, and even asked teasingly: "Ito, what do you think is the final ranking of Fei?" ”

"I can't guess, but I want to see His Excellency Yifei and Schumacher have a showdown like a demon king!"

Compared with Zhang Yifei, the imperial demon king, Schumacher is the real super driver on the track, the four-time champion of the big demon level. Only a battle with him is the pinnacle duel in the paddock!

Zhang Yifei has played against Schumacher a few times before, and he has won and lost. Except for the United States Grand Prix, the rest of the time was not very enjoyable. A victory does not mean anything, only by continuously defeating Schumacher by hard power, Zhang Yifei can be called the real demon king on the track!

"Really? I'd love to see it, too. ”

Blundell agreed this time, the peak showdown is a scene that everyone wants to see.

However, before the peak showdown, Zhang Yifei still has a big guard with a knife to face, that is, Barrichello, who is currently ranked second. Unlike the other drivers' No. 2s, no one would dare to underestimate Laria's No. 2 drivers, who are not so easy to beat.

Speaking of Barrichello, he is actually not in a good mood right now, because behind his car, that pesky blue Prost car has reappeared.

Unlike most people who call Zhang Yifei a "blue ghost", Barrichello is not very vain, and even Zhang Yifei called his teammates for help when the two of them fought, while Barrichello was fighting alone.

And having said that, in the current situation, losing to Zhang Yifei is no longer a big deal, after all, this Chinese kid has reached the top of the championship, and seriously speaking, everyone has lost.

However, there were still a few who lost to Alessi, and on the Austrian circuit, Barrichello lost twice to the French veteran, which became a ridicule experience for many people, and even the team management was dissatisfied.

To be honest, at the A1 circuit in Austria, Barrichello can't figure out how he could be beaten twice in a row by a "pension" driver like Alessi.

I thought that this kind of thing was an end, and with Alessi's strength, he might not be able to see his own taillights in his life. As a result, I didn't expect that in the final battle of the Japanese Grand Prix today, the No. 14 Prost car appeared behind me.

Barrichello didn't know what to say at the moment, was it Alessi who had the second spring of his career, or was the driver behind him too vegetable, and he just let him run into the podium position?

Coulthard and Villeneuve crashed off the track, but what about Schumacher Jr.? What about super-newcomer Kimi Raikkonen? Can't you even run away from an old French guy? With this kind of strength, what kind of professional racing do you run?

Countless question marks rose in Barrichello's mind, and he really couldn't figure out how a driver like Alessi, who finished outside the top 10 in qualifying, managed to break into the top three.

But in any case, Barrichello was 10,000 points in spirit and strictly guarded against Alessi's attack. The Austrian Grand Prix fell once, and it has already made many people see jokes, and the Japanese Grand Prix can't fall a second time anyway!

Perhaps before the change, Barrichello would never have imagined that he would one day treat a driver of Alessi's level as a formidable opponent.

In fact, contrary to Barrichello's imagination, Alessi did not have the ability to attack him at all at this time. Because Ralph Schumacher has come out of the pits and intends to reclaim his place.

You must know that Ralph Schumacher is a very peculiar driver, and his strength is really not weak, and he once made his brother Schumacher stand on the runner-up podium and look up to him.

But whenever the team is full of hope for him, he will tell you with practical actions, what is called how much hope, how big the disappointment, the level of performance is high and low, and there are few classic battles.

However, what really made his reputation collapse was that he later went to the Toyota team, took the high salary of a top driver, but ran in a mess, became a representative of high salary and low energy, and finally disappeared from everyone.

It can only be said that in the F1 paddock, there is only one Schumacher, and there is no place for two people.

Of course, Ralph, who is now driving a Williams car, is still quite strong, putting a lot of pressure on the front car Alessi, he has no spare energy to attack Barrichello, and even the defense has become precarious.

Therefore, the situation in the first few places on the track is deadlocked, and it depends on when Zhang Yifei can surpass Kimi Raikkonen and join forces with Alessi to flank Ralph Schumacher.
