760 My Time!
The third driver to cross the finish line, also in a blue and white Prost car, was Fernando Alonso, the number 14 driver.
In the final stages of the Singapore Grand Prix, Alonso was killed by Kimi Raikkonen did not appear. Although he was behind Zhang Yifei and Schumacher today, Alonso controlled the ranking to the end, and Montoya never surpassed him and ushered in his chance to reach the podium.
This is not the first time Alonso has finished on the podium, as he has also been on the podium once before.
But this is the first time he has been on the podium at the same time as Zhang Yifei, and he has also witnessed the moment when Zhang Yifei reached the top.
In the face of the applause and cheers of Zhang Yifei from the audience, Alonso's mood was very close to Schumacher, and his heart was also full of emotion.
It's just that he is not lost and frustrated, but more envious and yearning before, looking forward to the day when he can get such a full salute as a champion.
is slightly different from watching Zhang Yifei win the championship in the past, and Alonso does not have that vague jealousy this time, because he knows very well in his heart that Zhang Yifei deserves to win the Monaco Grand Prix this time, and there are not as many surprises as imagined.
After all, he is the driver who COPY passed Zhang Yifei to walk the line, and no one knows better than Alonso how well Zhang Yifei understands and controls this track. To be honest, many times Alonso can't figure out why Zhang Yifei can do this, maybe this is the real talent.
Just like Senna, who was still a newcomer back then, he was able to become famous in the Monaco Rain War and won the title of a generation of rain gods.
There will always be no shortage of talented drivers in this world, compared with Senna and Hamilton in later generations, in fact, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as "mediocre", and even inferior to Villeneuve, who was not prominent in later generations.
The three cars stopped in the celebration area, and as Zhang Yifei, who had the last laugh, his face was naturally full of celebratory smiles belonging to the winners. On the other hand, Schumacher, who has always seemed a little "pampered", this time at the Monaco Grand Prix, his mentality finally changed a little, and he wrote his frustration on his face.
In the end, there is the expressionless Alonso, just as Codd said before, he recognized Zhang Yifei's strength and returned the favor, but he never chose to give in and give up.
Third has never been Alonso's goal, his goal has always been one from the moment he joined Prost.
That is to kill Zhang Yifei, and I want to stand on the position of champion!
So many people thought that the two Prost drivers would hug each other and celebrate something, but in fact this scene did not happen, and even the indifference was beyond their imagination.
Alonso and Zhang Yifei, except for a polite handshake, even in the post-match interview, did not mention each other's names, as if it was not their teammates who stood on the podium this time.
In the face of such a scene, once again everyone was stunned, and before they helped each other block the car, and fought side by side to let Zhang Yifei win the title of Monaco, how did he become like an enemy again, and he didn't get along with each other?
"Alonso hasn't changed."
Yamamoto Ukyo, who was in the crowd, said to Junko Takeda beside him.
The crew had also moved from the pits to the celebration area to witness the podium finish of the two Prost drivers at the same time.
"I think that's good, if today's No. 2 driver is flying, would you like him to give up his championship heart and completely surrender to be a wingman?"
Junko Takeda replied very indifferently, and did not feel any dissatisfaction with Alonso's coldness because of him.
Each driver has their own personality and expectations, this is Alonso's character, and Junko Takeda has gradually understood why Zhang Yifei chose Alonso in the first place.
The Spaniard may not be a very good team-mate, but he is definitely a strong team-mate. Whether this powerful strength is aimed at the enemy or against yourself.
At least if it weren't for Alonso, Alessi, or a better but weaker team-mate, Schumacher would not have happened at all.
Because without strength, it is impossible to run to the front row and have the opportunity to fight side by side, and even if there is, most drivers will not be able to stop Schumacher's attack.
Rather than following mediocrely, it is better to have a strong confrontation, which may be the real reason why Yifei Jun chose Alonso against public opinion.
Junko Takeda's rhetorical question, Yamamoto Ukyo almost didn't need to think about it, and he could come up with the answer, that is, as an old team member, he absolutely did not want to see Zhang Yifei become the wingman of any driver, standing under the championship podium forever and looking up.
This is not only a loss of championship results, but more importantly, a loss that will last forever, and their desire to chase championships and dreams no longer has any potential and fighting spirit at all.
Therefore, even if Alonso has a "heart of disobedience", he is indeed much better than doing nothing on the track!
At the same time, the post-match reporter's question was also at the end stage, and a reporter from Italy opened his mouth to ask Zhang Yifei.
"Fei, if you were asked to say a word to Schumacher at this moment, what would you want to say?"
Faced with this sudden directional question, Zhang Yifei and Schumacher, who were about to end the interview, were stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously glanced at each other.
The originally noisy celebration venue also instantly quieted down when I heard this question.
Yes, what will the new king of Monaco say to Schumacher?
took the microphone, Zhang Yifei did not have the faint smile on his face before, but instead had a solemnity.
Is Fei going to provoke Schumacher?
Seeing Zhang Yifei's expression dialogue, many celebratory fans had such an idea in their minds. Even when he was a rookie, Zhang Yifei provoked top drivers like Barrichello.
Now that he has won the title of King of Monaco, he should be even more arrogant and arrogant. The previous interview answers were more about celebration and gratitude, has it finally come to the moment for him to be wanton?
"Actually, as an active driver, a lot of things are not convenient to say at this time, but I have to admit that Schumacher is my idol, and even the goal I look up to and pursue."
When Zhang Yifei said this, almost all of them had a look of surprise on their faces, is this still the arrogant driver on the track who once said to Schumacher that I want to win this race?
Even the Italian reporter who asked the question was a little stunned at this time, he wanted Zhang Yifei to say some gunpowder words to provoke the anger of Ferrari fans and set off a big battle in the F1 car world.
As a result, I didn't expect Zhang Yifei to admit it at this time, saying that Schumacher was his idol?
But at this time, Zhang Yifei moved his eyes from the camera to Schumacher, and then continued word by word.
"But the way I treat idols is to surpass them, so I'm sorry Schumacher, I will enter my era in the future!"
This is what Zhang Yifei wants to say to Schumacher, he has thought about it countless times in his heart, but he has no confidence to say it.
Today, he was crowned king at the Monaco circuit, witnessing the extreme tuning scheme made by the Ferrari team in order to deal with himself, and witnessing Schumacher's somewhat despicable alliance with Barrichello in order to surpass himself.
All kinds of signs tell Zhang Yifei that Schumacher is no longer the car god who has been high up and looked up to, but an evenly matched opponent on the track.
Without the aura of the previous life, the idol has become an ordinary opponent, so it is up to you to rewrite history and end the era of Schumacher!
Zhang Yifei's tone was not very provocative, but in fact, his words were the biggest challenge to Schumacher.
Surprise, anger, sanity, calmness......
In just a few seconds, Schumacher experienced several emotional changes, and it may be that this kind of remark really touched Schumacher's inner fighting spirit, even in the previous game, Schumacher did not have such a crazy desire to win at this moment!
"Come on, I'll make you understand whose time it is!"
This moment is Zhang Yifei's declaration of war against Schumacher, and it is also a sign of the Prost team's war against the Ferrari team.
In the next race, there may not be any such thing as a big three, only the two strongest teams have begun to compete for the ultimate championship!
After a brief break, the medal ceremony once again sounded the familiar melody of the national anthem on the track. It also marks that a Chinese driver has finally won one of the world's three major tracks.
After all, the previous Indy 500 event, even if it was full of gold, defeated three Indy world champions. But it was never an official event, and it was not recognized by the Indian program, so it was still a little worse after all.
This time, it was the Chinese driver who really reached the top and completed a hat-trick, breaking all records on the Monaco circuit, and there was no water or doubts to speak of!
The other is the Prost team, which became the biggest winner of the Monaco Grand Prix, Zhang Yifei and Alonso on the podium at the same time, making it very short in terms of team points and the difference with Ferrari.
Perhaps when the season ends, not only the Drivers' Championship is full of suspense, but even the Constructors' Championship is also full of waves.
Prost Racing is no longer satisfied with being among the Big Three, but wants to be the boss!
Everything seemed to be going in a brilliant direction, but in fact, the rest of the race did not go as smoothly as expected. Because of the strength of the Monaco Grand Prix, the Ferrari team was completely awakened, and they regarded Zhang Yifei as their biggest opponent, and the team's strategy was extremely targeted.
Compared with the cooperation of the two Ferrari heroes, it is obvious that Zhang Yifei and Alonso are two people who are going to make a strange difference. In terms of strength, Alonso is still a little worse than Barrichello after all, far from his peak, and in terms of obedience, it is impossible to want Alonso to sacrifice like Barrichello again and again, and to help Zhang Yifei break the siege.
So on July 21, Zhang Yifei suffered a defeat at the British Silverstone Circuit, and Schumacher regained his championship glory on the oldest F1 circuit!
On July 28, at the Hockenheim Circuit in Germany, Schumacher, who returned to his hometown, was even more rewarded with combat effectiveness, completed the consecutive championships, and surpassed Zhang Yifei in points and came to the top of the driver's overall standings!
On August 18, at the Budapest circuit in Hungary, Zhang Yifei stopped his decline and won the championship title
And Alonso finally adjusted his state, changed his remnants of Zhang Yifei's radical style of COPY, and explored his own characteristics, that is, absolute defense and strong ability to seize opportunities.
The Prost team once again finished on the podium and took the first and second place, which is the first time in recent years that a team has won the first and second places in addition to Ferrari, which can be said to be a sensation.
Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium on September 1st, Nojmola in San Marili on September 15th, and Nürburgring in Germany on September 22nd......
These sub-events are basically in the fierce confrontation between Schumacher and Zhang Yifei, and the total points of the two players have risen alternately. It wasn't until the Indianapolis Circuit on October 5 that Renault's Helio took the top spot on his home turf.
I have to say that this home track that Helio is most familiar with, he did not experience another failure, and finally proved himself in front of 300,000 American fans, which can be regarded as redeeming the last dignity of IndyCar.
On October 19th, the Suzuka Circuit in Japan, as the previous finale course, was ranked second to last.
Schumacher has created countless classic races on this track, and has also made a lot of crash news. Zhang Yifei did not continue last year's miracle, the championship was once again taken away by Schumacher, the total points of the two were 82 and 85 respectively, Zhang Yifei fell behind Schumacher by three points.
According to the points standard of this era, the champion has 10 points and the runner-up has 6 points, so in the next final battle, Zhang Yifei can only win the championship not in Schumacher's ranking, and 100% guaranteed victory, otherwise there is a risk of failure in any ranking.
Therefore, the suspense of the 2001 season of the world championship was reserved for the East China Sea Grand Prix, which is also Zhang Yifei's real home stadium, his hometown!
PS: Yesterday I saw a message from a big brother saying that the cycle was not affected, so I accelerated the pace and jumped to the last stop.
Actually, no, the reason why I only wrote a few stops this season is because many track cycles have been written, and if I repeat it, it will be difficult to write new ideas. It may be a bit tedious to cycle story events, but it will definitely not repeat the water, which is the bottom line.
In addition, this is definitely not a bad ending.,Maybe a lot of big brothers read the chapter messages.,I feel that the cycle is complained about except for a wave of self-explosion every three or five times.,It doesn't seem like there's any message.。
But in fact, this book is quite stable, and the new ones are all quite stable, and it can be seen from the monthly pass, such an unpopular and niche book, the double monthly pass war is still in the top 100 of the starting point, which means that the big brothers are still there. The real reason why the cycle has won countless unhappy complaints, and the real reason why the balance of the protagonist's power is always in control, which is the real F1 and the key to not ending.
So instead of killing the initial love and passion in repetition, it is better to end the curtain in the peak and reminisce, and the big brother is waiting for the final battle.
