Schumacher in Williams' car also saw the blue Prost in the rearview mirror.

Unlike before when Kimi Raikkonen was in the way, this time he will face Zhang Yifei head-to-head. What's even more unfortunate is that there is a blue Prost car in front of him, and the situation of a wolf in front and a tiger in the back is the best adjective for Schumacher Jr. at the moment.

"Alessi, help block the car, let the fastest speed fly!"

Corer unceremoniously gave the order to block the car, not only for Zhang Yifei, but also for the interests of the entire team.

Now that Alessi can finish in the top three, it is already the limit of his ability, and in the second half of the game, he has little ability to launch any meaningful offensive against Barrichello, and is doing defensive maneuvers.

And even defensively, Alessi is in danger a lot of the time, and since he doesn't have the ability to sprint up the rankings, he should let the stronger drivers go up.

So let Alessi block the car, not because Corer has a close relationship with Zhang Yifei, but because Zhang Yifei is stronger! If the strength of the two sides is reversed, Korsell will also give an order without hesitation to let Zhang Yifei block the car.

After all, his current identity is not only Zhang Yifei's race engineer, but also the chief race engineer of the entire team.

"Roger."

Alessi has no nonsense, his career of more than ten years, he has long been downplayed by the identity of the No. 2 driver and wingman. And most of the time, he is the No. 2 driver, but most of the time he does not fulfill his responsibilities.

Because old fritter riders like Alessi actually have all kinds of problems, seniority looks down on newcomers, and strong drivers are unwilling to partner with "old-aged" drivers like them.

It is rare to meet a strong newcomer like Zhang Yifei, who completely convinced Alessi, and truly believes that his identity as a wingman is worthwhile, and he can create more brilliant results for the team.

To sum up, Alessi is not resistant to being a wingman, because he has a very B number for his own strength. But he has to have a driver who is absolutely ahead of him and makes Alessi feel that all the sacrifices are worth it, so that he can be willing to be a wingman.

Almost as soon as Alessi's voice fell, he had already changed the line to Schumacher Jr.'s car, and slowed down a little, so that Zhang Yifei could eat the wake more calmly and launch an offensive with the help of the slingshot effect.

For Alessi to surpass a strong opponent, he is basically at a level where he has more than enough heart and not enough power, but he has really perfected the game of blocking cars, no matter how Ralf Schumacher changes lanes, he can always see the Prost car in front of him.

Zhang Yifei didn't say much about Alessi's blocking car, and with the development of his career, he has also gotten rid of the original hot-blooded and unindebted newcomer state.

The F1 paddock is originally the law of the jungle, and the wingman is not allowed to make sacrifices at the critical moment, and the ultimate consequence is that both of them become weaker and eaten by the stronger team!

So he didn't feel embarrassed to let Alessi block the car, or I didn't need it. Children pay attention to right and wrong, adults only look at interests, and now Zhang Yifei is already an adult.

But the only thing that hasn't changed is Zhang Yifei's bottom line, that is, in the absence of foreign enemies, he will never use the strength of the team to make Alessi in front of him give up his victory.

Just like Barrichello let Schumacher go, although Zhang Yifei understands the decision of the Ferrari team very well, he will not blame Schumacher for this, after all, Schumacher later returned the favor with the championship of the American station.

But he still won't do it, the victory is not by handing it out, but by earning it himself!

Alesi's previous blocking of nearly 20 laps has actually fully exhausted Ralph Schumacher's fighting spirit, and now he sees Zhang Yifei catching up, and at this moment, Schumacher Jr. already thinks that there is no hope of victory.

This is also the difference between him and his brother Michael Schumacher, who can easily get frustrated or even give up. If he were to become a big Schumacher, he would never give up at any time, and would use all his means to win the final victory.

After a symbolic resistance, Zhang Yifei seized the opportunity to overtake Ralph Schumacher, the last driver of the Williams team, and officially came to the back of Alesi, and the two Prost cars officially "met".

"Well done!"

In the Pit Stop of the Prost Fleet, there was a burst of cheers and applause after seeing this scene.

With Zhang Yifei breaking into the top four and completing his meeting with Alessi, it means that at least one Prost driver can finish on the podium.

Maybe this is not an amazing result, but judging from the start of the Prost team's middle and bottom rankings and a bottom start, it can be called a shocking counterattack, and the strength and fighting spirit shown are not lost to the front of the big three on the track.

After the Japanese Grand Prix, perhaps no one will question the title of the fourth big man of the Prost team in terms of strength, except for the money and scale.

"This is the strength of our strongest driver in China, let's attack the last opponent!"

"Come on Zhang Yifei, I believe you can create a miracle!"

"Think about the championship sprint, the rookie season three times in a row!"

"Sure enough, it's a demon king-like flying honor, he is really about to rush to the podium."

"It's so powerful, it's sweeping the track like a grim reaper!"

"The strongest king in Asia, go and face the strongest king in the world, Your Excellency!"

Crazy cheers began to ring in the stands, and with Zhang Yifei's success in overtaking Ralf Schumacher, it was almost equivalent to completing an impossible miracle.

And Alessi is only the No. 2 driver, he probably does not have the strength to compete with Zhang Yifei, even if only one driver can make it to the final podium, this person is basically Zhang Yifei.

It's just that with the advent of the final battle, many supporters of other drivers who were suppressed before couldn't help but start fighting at this time.

"Now there are eight laps left, how can Zhang Yifei surpass Schumacher and Barrichello?"

"I admit that Yifeijun is very strong, but Schumacher is stronger, and the champion can only be him!"

"Do you really treat Fei as a grim reaper? Then Schumacher is the god of the F1 track! ”

"The third place is the best result of flying, don't think you can challenge the dominance of Ferrari!"

No matter what the track is, the fans of Ferrari and Schumacher will never be absent.

Zhang Yifei didn't catch up with them before, posing a threat to them, and these fans can still choose to remain silent and make the supporters of the Chinese kid happy. After all, most of the fans know that Zhang Yifei can be scolded very miserably in other sub-events, and it is acceptable that the voice of support and encouragement finally occupies the mainstream today.

But once the Ferrari driver is threatened, then the two sides are on opposite sides and will have to raise their voices in support of Schumacher and Barrichello.

So the one-sided cheering sound before began to mess up into a pot of porridge.

In addition to the fierce verbal exchange of spectators in the stands, Alessi on the track is also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.

With Zhang Yifei coming to his own driver, it means that the relationship between the two people has gradually changed from the relationship between the former teammates fighting side by side to the relationship between opponents competing on the same stage.

Reason told Alessi that if Zhang Yifei was allowed to attack Barrichello, then the odds of victory would be higher. Because he has been behind Barrichello for so long, he has basically not posed a threat to the Ferrari driver, and the difference in quality between the two sides is a bit obvious.

After all, the scene of the Austrian Grand Prix is not replicable, Barrichello is now in his prime, and may not be in good form for one or two races, but in terms of strength, he has definitely not fallen to the level of inferior to Alessi.

Head-to-head, Alessi had little chance of winning.

But in the end, there were only eight laps left, and after such a whole race, he had already reached the top three, and the podium was right in front of his eyes. What if he doesn't overtake Barrichello? I will go from the current third to the fourth.

Don't underestimate the difference of one place, which will determine whether you can get the trophy or not, get on the podium and enjoy the cheers of the crowd. It's like the difference between the champion and the runner-up, but the honors received by the two people are very different!

Even taking a step back, even if Zhang Yifei overtakes him, can he successfully overtake Barrichello? He didn't go past the first few dozen laps, and in the last few laps he overtook Barrichello, and Alessi really didn't have much confidence.

And this kind of championship moment, it is impossible for Zhang Yifei to completely give up chasing Schumacher to block the car for himself. The weight of a champion is not necessarily comparable to a hundred third places, and there is only one ultimate winner on the F1 circuit, and the others are losers!

So Alessi's mood is extremely complicated, for the sake of the team's interests, for the team's higher honor, he has to sacrifice himself. However, in this case, the decision is not so easy to make.

Even Kossel in the pits, looking at the scene on the track, did not give the order to give the car. Even he knew in his heart that from the perspective of the team, let Zhang Yifei go to the main attack, and the probability of overtaking was higher.

It's not just Cosell who understands, but the rest of Prost's strategy team understands, but no one is the first to open this mouth. After all, the Prost team is not a pure factory team like Ferrari, everything is for the benefit of Ferrari.

It's really hard to say that we have gone through the most difficult times together and are now working together towards a goal, but to make such a cruel decision. Even if Prost himself was here today, he would not be able to give this order.

Reason and sensibility are the eternal opposites of human emotion at all times.
