Barrichello really didn't figure out that the fierce attacking driver behind him would be Alessi from the Prost team.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, what happened to make a French veteran like Alessi change so much, is it because of the Chinese boy?

There is no doubt that young people are always full of passion and energy, but the question is that the previous Heidfeld, wasn't he a young man, and why didn't he find any change in Alessi's match with him?

Before Barrichello could figure this out, Alessi in the back took advantage of the slingshot effect of the car's wake and caught up with the Ferrari in front of him with one foot of the accelerator, ready to overtake in the corner.

Alessi didn't brake late and didn't get to the point of being intimidating, but his line was always just right to insert into Barrichello's empty space, and the two cars were very close to each other and were on the verge of a collision at any time.

Most of the time, Barrichello relied on the performance of Ferrari cars to overtake Alesi in acceleration out of corners, otherwise there was a real possibility of being overtaken by Alesi.

Of course, this is not to say that Barrichello's driving skills are inferior to Alessi, but the French veteran can be regarded as a daring fighter today, forcing Barrichello to retreat in the corner.

After all, Barrichello is currently the third-best overall driver on the track, and he has ambitions to overtake Coulthard and become the eventual world runner-up.

Maybe for others, the world runner-up title is not very satisfying, and it is also the most regrettable position.

After all, in competitive sports, the only thing people will remember in the end is the champion!

But Barrichello is a green driver himself, and no one knows better than him just how strong Schumacher really is. Many times Barrichello himself is glad that he is Schumacher's team-mate, not his opponent.

Although Barrichello helped Schumacher share a lot of firepower, the act of sharing firepower itself shows that Schumacher was the target of fire.

To be Schumacher's opponent is really desperate!

Even if it is not in terms of honor, becoming the world runner-up driver and letting Scuderia Ferrari take the top two, Barrichello's treatment will be much improved.

In the case of a local tyrant team like Ferrari, each point is rewarded according to the upper limit, that is, 50,000 US dollars per point, and the difference between the second and third place rewards is at least hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

And more importantly, the better the results, the better the chances that Barrichello will renew his contract with Scuderia Ferrari in the future. Not every driver is confident that he can still run at Ferrari in a low-tier team.

Barrichello is one of the few drivers on the F1 track who has a clear judgment on his strength and ceiling. So he relied on the talent of the top drivers to stand in the ranks of the top drivers.

Many times, people are really self-aware!

So for the sake of points and results, Barrichello doesn't plan to go head-to-head with Alessi, after all, this kind of retired driver, the strength is not outstanding, the fame is not significant, and it is really no good to die with him.

The lowest crash grade, at least at the level of Zhang Yifei, although there are no achievements, but at least there is still fame.

Barrichello had planned to attack Kimi Raikkonen and rush into the top six, but he was inexplicably held back by Alessi, which really made him feel depressed.

In the next few laps, except for the "Earth Group" riders in the back row, the position of the front row riders seemed to be fixed, and there was almost no change.

The more high-intensity the confrontation, the more serious and vigilant the front-row drivers become, and basically will not give the opponent any chance.

If a master makes a move, the difference may be a thousand miles!

The situation on the track looks calm, but for Zhang Yifei, there is a lot of pressure from the undercurrent.

Schumacher is too strong, even if he is not driving a Mars rover now, the kind of pressure like Mount Tai overwhelming also makes Zhang Yifei a little breathless.

To put it simply, Zhang Yifei is now walking the line, and his mental power must be highly energetic, and he can't even shake the most basic hands. A little bit of a mistake is to give Schumacher a chance, and the opponent will definitely be able to take advantage of this mistake.

Especially on the 800-meter-long straight road in front of Bosch Bend, it was the moment when Zhang Yifei was most stressed. Even the adjustment that is biased towards extreme speed is a bit unable to stop Schumacher's overtaking speed.

Although the grip and downforce of the F1 car are amazing, under the ultra-high speed of more than 350km/h, Zhang Yifei really does not dare to move in a snakeskin position to block the car, maybe a sudden lane change will cause the car to lose control.

So what Zhang Yifei can do is to keep his line and block Schumacher on the cutting route. And the consequence of this is that the previous one-foot sudden braking has become a two-foot sudden braking.

Previously, Zhang Yifei was due to the problem of wear and tear on the site, and Alaixi gave help according to his own experience. That is, at the conventional braking point, first click a sharp brake to slow down the speed, and then empty the throttle for a short distance, and then lightly press the brake when really entering the corner.

In this way, in fact, the speed is not slow, but it can greatly reduce the wear and tear of the wood planks on the site.

It's not much slower, it's still a little slower after all, and in general, this speed difference is not obvious.

But now the situation is different, the chase on the track is very fierce, and the drivers behind are eyeing the opportunity.

If it is an ordinary driver, the pressure can be less, but now it is Schumacher who is following Zhang Yifei!

This man has set countless F1 records, and his dominance at his peak is far greater than Senna's, after all, Senna still has opponents, and he is truly unbeatable.

No matter how confident, arrogant and arrogant Zhang Yifei is, when facing Schumacher, he can only maintain a humble attitude and show 120% of his ability to compete with this German driver.

Therefore, one foot brake and then empty throttle can not solve the problem, you can only brake with one foot, according to the degree of Schumacher's catch-up to choose whether to replenish the oil, and then before entering the corner, if the speed is too fast, and then forced to step on the brake to slow down.

Although this can also reduce the wear and tear on the ground, the effect is not as obvious as the previous foot brake. Moreover, frequent acceleration and braking also increase the pressure on the mechanical performance of the racing car.

As you can see from the start of the track today, the stability of the car has dropped significantly in the past few days in practice and qualifying. And the Prost team, which was famous for its failure rate before, was just lucky that Zhang Yifei didn't encounter it, and this state is really a little uneasy.

"There was too much competition on the track, a bit more than we expected."

At the Prost pit pits, Henry spoke to Cosell.

In fact, when Zhang Yifei got the pole position, the team strategy team had already discussed the track situation, thinking that it would be a vicious battle, and many drivers must not accept Zhang Yifei's pole position.

And with the season coming to an end, and now the race is hot, Schumacher only needs to win this sub-championship to seal the drivers' championship in advance.

So this stop, for Schumacher, is almost like the finale.

However, the strategy team of Prost Racing still underestimated Schumacher's desire for victory, and frantically pressured Zhang Yifei from the start, wanting to overtake and get to the first position.

Judging from the current situation, even if Zhang Yifei can carry it, the car may not be able to carry it.

"It's not something we can choose, we have to fly and bear it ourselves."

Korser replied lightly, Schumacher's offensive, no one can control. And now Zhang Yifei on the track can be said to have exerted all his strength, and he can get rid of Schumacher without giving any team instructions.

But this is also a newcomer, the only way to the podium, and if you can't bear the pressure, you don't qualify as a winner.

In the words of Hong Kong Island, if you want to be on the top and don't pull the old guy down, where will you get the position?

Of course, Schumacher is far from being an old guy, but Zhang Yifei did not have the patience to endure for a few years and wait for Schumacher to decline from his peak.

"Yifeijun, you have to hold steady!"

Yamamoto Ukyo, who was standing next to him, heard the conversation between Korsell and Henry, and knew how much pressure Zhang Yifei was on now.

You must know that in the Japanese formula world, Schumacher is regarded as a "god", and no Japanese driver has ever dared to say that he can challenge Schumacher on the track.

It was only this year that a guy named Takuma Sato came out, and he recklessly said that he hoped to run with Schumacher. But that stopped there, no one in Asia dared to say they could beat Schumacher.

Zhang Yifei is not talking about it now, he is really doing it, which is something that Yamamoto Ukyo did not dare to imagine before. In the previous overtaking of Brazil, Schumacher was obviously a little out of shape, and he didn't have the feeling of being on full fire today!

Now what Zhang Yifei has to face is the complete Schumacher!

Thinking of Schumacher's terrifying strength, Yamamoto Youkyo next to him subconsciously tightened his heart, Yifeijun is really too difficult.

Two more laps passed on the track to the tenth lap, and the unchanged front-row pattern was finally broken by Montoya and Ralph Schumacher!

I saw Montoya in the 5th and 6th U-turns of the track, and cut into the corner route of Coulthard very strongly, and then the two of them confronted each other to grab the line. And in the process, Montoya kept slowing down the Cothard.

When he was about to accelerate out of the corner, Coulthard spotted another blue and white Williams car rushing past it at great speed, and this person was Ralf Schumacher, the No. 1 driver of the Williams team!
