433 Do you regret it?

"What the hell is going on with Montoya, is she so vulnerable in front of Fei?"

Sir Williams slammed his fist on the table, a calm and rational man who had not been so agitated for a long time.

Because he couldn't have imagined that after Montoya was caught up by Zhang Yifei, he didn't even carry a lap, and was easily overtaken by the other party.

If Schumacher Jr. was a little too strong and wanted to force Zhang Yifei before, he would keep approaching and wanted to squeeze the Chinese boy out of the track, and finally found a chance to show him.

So now Montoya, there is simply no excuse to find, with the experience of Schumacher Jr., and the opponent can easily surpass him, which can only show one problem, that is, the skills are not as good as others!

Probably the anger in his heart, Sir Williams subconsciously pressed his hand towards the headset call button, wanting to ask what happened to Montoya, why was it easily surpassed by the Chinese newcomer?

Intellectually speaking, Sir Williams's current move is very uncool.

Because no matter whether you win or lose on the track, it is a common thing in soldiers, and no one can guarantee that they will win forever. Questioning and blaming the drivers for this reason doesn't mean much other than planting the seeds of contradictions.

Unless it's the driver himself who does very mentally retarded handling, it's really unbearable, such as the future Japanese F1 driver Yuji Ide. The kind of mysterious speed that only dares to drive 200km/h on the big straight, Akuri Suzuki really can't help it! 1

What's more, the team's voice is monitored and saved by the FIA, and if this kind of blaming the driver is released, it will have a negative impact on both the team and the driver himself.

It stands to reason that Sir Williams, who has been at the F1 table since the seventies, would not have made such a low-level mistake.

As a result, he still didn't look at it rationally, and it can only be said that two Williams drivers in a row were overtaken by the newcomers of the Prost team, which was a bit of a big impact on him.

Just as Sir Williams was about to press the call button, Simmonds, the technical director on the side, blocked his wrist and shook his head at Sir Williams.

"Williams, you should know that this is not the best time to send a convoy order."

After all, he was a former Michael Schumacher race engineer, and Symonds had track experience that no other technician had, so he would only show up in room P during the race and be part of the strategy team.

Only Symonds has the qualifications and status to stop some of Sir Williams' irrational behavior at this point in time.

Hearing Simmonds' persuasion, Sir Williams slowly lowered his right hand, and then said in a low tone: "I really can't imagine that Ralph and Montoya will lose to a rookie on the track one after another, and in the rain battle. ”

"It's normal, after all, Montoya is also a newcomer."

Hearing that Montoya was also a newcomer, Sir Williams was stunned. Indeed, as Simmonds said, this year is also Montoya's rookie season, and he is also a newcomer to the F1 paddock.

It's just that the aura of the Indy 500 world champion is too dazzling, and many times even Williams himself doesn't treat Montoya as a rookie on the track.

In his opinion, Montoya should have the experience and stability of a veteran to defeat those real newcomers on the track, such as Zhang Yifei.

Seeing that Williams didn't speak, a wry smile appeared on Simmonds' face.

After all, after decades of playing at the F1 table, Sir Williams may be emotional, but he can definitely come back to his senses quickly. An emotional team owner has no way to bring an independently operated private team to the position of the F1 Big Three, and it has stood for more than ten years.

"BOSS, in fact, I still want to ask you a question, do you regret the choice of your previous answer?"

The regret that Simmonds said was a question he had asked before, that is, if Williams had to choose one more time, would he choose Zhang Yifei or Montoya to become the official driver of the Williams team.

The answer given by Sir Williams before was to choose Montoya without hesitation, on the grounds that the Williams team does not need to bet, they can pick the strongest newcomers!

The current situation on the track proves that Zhang Yifei is not much weaker than Montoya, and what is even more terrifying is that no one knows where the ceiling of the Chinese kid is.

Unlike those drivers who have run up from junior formula, F3, and F3000 step by step, and have a number of potential results, Zhang Yifei is currently completely unknown.

At least judging from the two Grand Prix races of the new season, Zhang Yifei has the potential to become a first-class driver. And today's rain performance, there is even the possibility of becoming a top driver. If you look at the performance on the track now, Sir Williams, will you choose Montoya again?

"No regrets."

Sir Williams gave the answer firmly, without the slightest hesitation.

Hearing this answer, Simmonds did not continue to ask, many things were enough to be said once.

But under Williams's firm appearance, he is a little confused inside, does he really have no regrets?

β€œYES! Phineas has entered the points area! ”

In the Prost maintenance area, Ah Hu clenched his fists excitedly and shouted.

Now as time goes by, he begins to slowly change his startled personality and become more calm.

In fact, the main thing is not that he wants to change, but in the atmosphere of the F1 technical team, over time he will use the precision and stability of engineering parts, which is where the environment changes people.

In fact, not only Ah Hu, but also the faces of other technicians were full of smiles. They may not be as good at dictating the situation on the track as the strategy team would. But this group of people is one of the foundations of the driver's performance, and it is also the team that works most closely with the driver.

In order to help Zhang Yifei block the car, Alessi even sacrificed his ranking, which made many maintenance technicians feel uncomfortable in their hearts.

After all, compared with Zhang Yifei, they have been in contact with Alessi for a longer time, and when the French veteran begins to take on the responsibility of a wingman, it will give people a sense of heroic twilight.

But fortunately, Zhang Yifei did not live up to Alessi's sacrifice, and there was no Prost team pinning their hopes on him. Even the images of Ralph Schumacher and Montoya, which had only appeared in a dream before, turned out to be played out on the track today, and it was so strong and fast.

If it weren't for the fact that they were always on standby, I guess many people would have started cheering and celebrating.

Zhang Yifei, who surpassed Montoya on the track, naturally has the joy in his heart. The two consecutive duels against Montoya ended in his own victory, and he was considered to have completely defeated his opponent in the battle for the strongest newcomer this year.

It is a hunch that after the Malaysian Grand Prix, his popularity and attention will surpass Montoya and take over the title of the strongest newcomer on the track this year.

Unless Montoya makes some earth-shattering reversal, or another super newcomer appears on the track, such as Barton and Alonso, Zhang Yifei's status will be indisputable!

As for Montoya wanting a shocking reversal, I'm sorry, Zhang Yifei won't give this chance!

Needless to say, joy and excitement, at this moment, Zhang Yifei still has an unstoppable momentum!

Coming from the penultimate start of the race, he overtook a dozen drivers in a row, doubled the Williams team, and then entered the top six points. As long as the game is not over, the momentum brought by this kind of victory is really a little unstoppable.

Even if Zhang Yifei is now in front of the car god Schumacher, he also has absolute confidence to fight with the other party, this is the "potential" that has been won!

It's just a pity that Zhang Yifei is not in front of Schumacher, who originally fell to third because of the pit stop tire change, and now he has returned to the first position. Unless Zhang Yifei can complete a shocking counterattack on the Sepang circuit, it will not be his turn to face off with Schumacher.

In front of Zhang Yifei at this moment is Jordan Racing Arnold Trulli, a driver from Italy.

Arnold Trulli only officially entered the F1 paddock in the 1997 season, and he still started with the Prost team. Seriously, he can be regarded as Zhang Yifei's "senior".

From his rookie season in 1997 to his retirement from the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2011, Trulli spent 14 years in the F1 paddock, competing in 256 Grand Prix, 252 of which were races.

In terms of years of competition and the number of participations, Trulli can be regarded as an indispensable veteran in the F1 paddock.

It's just that in his entire career, Trulli has won a race championship once, and the number of podiums is only a pitiful 11, not even a barely blue-collar driver.

The two years of the Jordan team can be regarded as the rising period of Trulli's career, and it was not until he went to the Renault team in 04 that he could reach the peak of Trulli. The first pole position of a career, the first race win, and even the first fastest lap were all set in '04.

The current Trulli, although he has been in the F1 paddock for several years, does not pose much threat to Zhang Yifei in terms of hard power.

Zhang Yifei began to chase frantically at this time, because of the previous grappling relationship, so that the steady and steady Trulli actually opened a big gap with Zhang Yifei. Now the number of laps has exceeded 30 laps, and everyone is looking forward to it, how many laps can Zhang Yifei use to catch up with Trulli in front.

"The latest lap time came out, I couldn't believe my eyes, Fei just now lap time was 1:37.558, creating the fastest lap of the track after the rain battle, and even beating the current leader Schumacher with 1:37.712!"

At this lap speed, Fei was nearly three seconds faster than the Trulli he was about to face. Following this trend, the Flyer will catch up with Trulli on the next lap and attack. ”

"To be honest, I don't know about this exaggerated lap gap, what does Trulli do to stop the driver who has reached the peak of his momentum, it's really exaggerated!"
