Zhang Yifei on the track, facing the all-out attack of the two Ferrari drivers, was in a much more difficult situation than Helio in the back row, facing Williams Montoya and McLaren Kimi Raikkonen.

Before the fifteenth lap was finished, Zhang Yifei began to be in danger, and the layout of the "Shang" shape of the East China Sea Circuit, the ultra-long straight is too suitable for the side-by-side form of racing cars, and it is very simple to bite the wake.

From a personal point of view, Zhang Yifei does occupy the right time and place on the East China Sea Circuit, but from a team point of view, the most important person in the car, Zhang Yifei has no advantage, or in the F1 paddock, there is no team comparable to the cooperation of the Ferrari duo.

Now in front of Zhang Yifei, there are only two choices, either to carry it yourself, but how long you can carry it is a question mark.

Another option is to ask the team for help, and use the team's instructions to pressure Alonso to give up the tyre and speed up to catch up and clear the siege.

Truth be told, the more critical battles like this go, the more important teammates become. Zhang Yifei once thought that he could face the whole world, but in fact, many times he also understood that personal strength was limited after all.

The Donghai Circuit has given itself an unparalleled advantage, but the characteristics and layout of this track have never been changed, and it is destined to be a track suitable for team battles!

Without too much hesitation, Zhang Yifei pressed his finger on the call button on the steering wheel.

He has never been a person who does not know how to be flexible, and he will not stubbornly hold on to his arrogance in the face of championships and victories. The F1 paddock pays attention to the law of the jungle, and the default is to win and lose, even if there are 10,000 reasons, losing is losing.

On the contrary, even if you win the championship by any means necessary, when time and years pass, you will find that history is written by the winners, and people will only remember who the champion is!

Zhang Yifei didn't plan to use Alonso as a wingman, but Alonso was always forgotten that he was the No. 2 driver of the Prost team and had the Prost label on his body.

In this game, Zhang Yifei secretly swore in his heart countless times that he could not lose, nor was he qualified to lose, and the championship would definitely belong to China!

But before Zhang Yifei could speak, Prost's command came from inside the earphones.

Faced with such a "siege" scene of Ferrari drivers, Prost was even more anxious than Zhang Yifei. And he also has the consciousness of "fighting alone", since Alonso is a Prost driver, it is time for him to show his value!

"Alonso, give up the tyres and press the Ferrari driver forward."

Prost gave orders very directly and simply, and at this time, Alonso accelerated and rushed up to fight, which was the only way to help Zhang Yifei break the siege.

It's just that after Prost said this, there was no reply from the team's voice, just like in the previous Monaco Grand Prix, in the face of the team's instructions, Alonso responded with silence.

But the Monaco Grand Prix, no matter how important, is ultimately a tough race, and today's East China Sea Grand Prix is a battle for the winners, meaning who will be the world champion.

So this time, Prost won't give Alonso any chance to think and hesitate, he is ready to threaten directly.

If Zhang Yifei was successfully overtaken by a Ferrari driver today because of his disobedience, then next year's Prost team will not have the name Fernando Alonso, and it will be useless for anyone to intercede!

The rest of the team also knew very well that this was an irresistible command from the team, and even Alonso's race engineer Kod did not persuade Prost at the moment.

A driver who has turned his back on the interests of the team, no matter how strong he is and how amazing his potential is, is a "two-five boy" after all!

However, just when everyone thought that they had to use tough and threatening means to pressure Alonso, his answer came from the voice of the team.

"I know, Barrichello won't have another chance to attack."

A very cold tone came from the headset, vaguely revealing an incomparable confidence.

Alonso's reply told the team that he would block Barrichello in all its parts and remove Schumacher's right-hand man. But you know, there are probably not many people in the F1 paddock who are confident to say this.

Now that Alonso has spoken, and in such a positive tone, then he will definitely do it.

Hearing Alonso's words, Prost put down his finger pressed on the call button, after all, this Spanish boy is still familiar with the general situation and understands what the overall situation is.

As long as he can hold Barrichello back, then Zhang Yifei singled out Schumacher, and the Prost team has a lot of confidence.

The times are different, on the East China Sea track, Zhang Yifei is the real ruler!

Zhang Yifei on the other side, when he heard Alonso say this, his first reaction in his heart was actually an accident. Could it be that this unruly guy really puts the interests of the team in the highest position, or surrenders to himself?

Zhang Yifei doesn't know what Alonso is thinking, but these are no longer important, as long as the head brother can contain Barrichello and prevent the two Ferrari from joining forces, then he has absolute confidence to suppress Schumacher.

On the sixteenth lap of the race, Alonso, who gave up the tyre, quickly caught up with Barrichello. At the same time, he immediately launched an offensive to interfere with the tacit cooperation between Schumacher and Barrichello before, and relieve the pressure on Zhang Yifei.

The appearance of this scene made a cheer on the track, Zhang Yifei was finally not "fighting alone" on the track, and the support force of the Prost team finally came.

Now the red Ferrari is ready to meet the counterattack from the blue Prost!

Alonso did not disappoint, and he took on the responsibility of being a Prost driver. F1 paddock is not a one-man game, and it takes a team to win, and when you understand this, Prost is truly qualified to claim the highest glory! ”

Blundell agrees with Alonso's choice, because after more than a dozen years of career, he knows very well what the essence of F1 is, which is team!

Even if it is as strong as Schumacher, without Barrichello's dedication and cooperation behind the scenes, he would not have achieved such a brilliant achievement.

Zhang Yifei and Alonso, the two Prost drivers, often play solo alone, and may still be able to achieve good results in some sub-races by relying on their personal strength.

But in this real life-and-death situation, other teams will join forces mercilessly, and personal disadvantages will be infinitely magnified.

As can be seen from Alonso's reaction speed, he quickly made the decision to cooperate with Fei this time. This is called a real teammate, this is a real Prost team!

"That's right, it's only when two Prost drivers work together that the Prost team has the potential to be at the top. I am very grateful to Alonso for his dedication, and Yifei will definitely not disappoint those who have helped him! ”

Li Bing was also very excited to praise Alonso at this time, and his psychological state was slightly different from that of Blundel.

Blundell is looking at the issue of unity from the perspective of F1 history, and Li Bing is simply from the perspective of Zhang Yifei, hoping that Alonso can lend a hand and help him become the world champion.

With Alonso joining the battle, Zhang Yifei, who was already a little precarious before, instantly stabilized his situation.

Indeed, on this track, it is already difficult for a single Schumacher to beat Zhang Yifei!

The situation in the front row began to stabilize, and the pattern in the back row finally showed an important change, that is, Montoya of the Williams team, with the assist of Kimi Raikkonen, found an opportunity to overtake Helio and move to fifth place!

In fact, this kind of overtaking picture should have appeared earlier in theory, but Helio's defensive moves were too dead, and Montoya gave up a lot of dangerous overtaking opportunities, so it has been delayed until now.

However, Helio's defeat was also doomed, and he was far inferior to Zhang Yifei in terms of his ability to control the East China Sea Circuit, and he didn't even master the full-curve tracking braking of the No. 1 combination corner.

Zhang Yifei can grit his teeth to block the attack of the strongest combination in F1 history, but Helio can't stop the temporary combination of Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen.

However, after Helio was overtaken, his fighting spirit was not completely defeated, and he still clung to Montoya, trying to find a chance to overtake him. The other is Montoya, who also made some blocking moves, and didn't think about seizing the opportunity to get away from it.

After all, he was able to overtake successfully, Kimi Raikkonen contributed a lot, and these blocking actions are compensation for the Finnish iceman!

"The final battle is really exciting, in addition to seeing the red and blue duel between Ferrari and Prost, I didn't expect to see the Indian Civil War, Montoya really didn't want to show mercy."

Pete Sauber, CEO of Sauber Racing, stood in the team's pit and talked with interest about the competition in the back row.

After all, Sauber has been out early, and now Pete Sauber is a complete outsider, and he can easily enjoy this closing battle.

The two world champions who came out of the Indy Circuit, not only did not join forces on the track, but staged a scene of "cannibalism". And Montoya is really not soft at all, even if he overtakes him, he still thinks about Lakimi Raikkonen, is this going to put another nail on Helio's coffin board?

Sauber manager Peter Zecherd also laughed when he heard the boss's words and replied: "It's normal, just according to Helio's arrogant performance in the paddock, when did you treat Montoya as your own again?" ”

"I guess his goal in the F1 paddock must be to trample Montoya under his feet and prove that he is the only king of Indy."

Zehrd said casually, and he was really right, Helio's original idea of entering the F1 paddock, in addition to proving the strength of the Indy driver, was to kill Montoya.

The reason is very simple, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and IndyCar can only have one king, and that is me Helio!

Therefore, the fuse of the Indian Civil War has already been laid, and Montoya's current actions are nothing more than to find out the contradictions and conflicts of interest between the two sides.

Very often, traitors are more odious than enemies!

Laps 17, 18 and 19......

As the number of laps continued to climb online, Alonso in the front row fulfilled his promise and completely restrained Barrichello from providing any help to Schumacher.

Even Alonso attacked fiercely several times, almost Barrichello didn't defend and was almost overtaken. If it weren't for Barrichello's defensive expertise, changing to another driver would not have stopped Alonso's offensive on the East China Sea circuit.

Without Barrichello's team-up, Schumacher's offensive organized after a few laps can be described as weak, and Zhang Yifei easily blocked him behind the car.

The situation that was still precarious before the Prost team, with Alonso joining the battle, has been completely reversed, this is the full strength of the blue army Prost, for the first time in the comprehensive hard power, completed the counterattack against Ferrari!

"Is this still Schumacher? Why is the offensive so weak? ”

A Ferrari fan, with disbelief in his tone, could it be that without Barrichello's help, Schumacher wouldn't even have the strength to fight alone?

"I don't believe that Fei can be strong enough to cover the sky with one hand, as long as Schumacher is still behind, there must be a chance to overtake!"

Another foreign fan has always had faith in Schumacher, or rather does not want to believe that what is in front of him is reality.

"And Barrichello, known as the strongest defense in the F1 paddock, can't even a Spanish Alonso?"

Another Ferrari fan, with a kind of desperation in his tone, the strongest Ferrari duo in history, but in this supposed close title battle, they were pressed and beaten by the Prost twins, and did not show any advantage one-on-one.

Could it be that the era of Ferrari is really coming to an end?

"Recognize the reality, the future will belong to Prost."

"This is the home of the East China Sea, the territory of Cheshenfei!"

"It's time for the game to end the suspense early."

On the contrary, many Zhang Yifei and Prost fans have shown an attitude of winning at this moment, and even have pity for the loser in their tone.

In this atmosphere of joy and sorrow, many people began to feel a sudden coldness on their faces.

Then look up at the sky, small raindrops, are drifting down from the sky, in late autumn and early winter on the East China Sea track, unexpectedly will usher in an autumn rain.

It's raining?

Looking at the gradually increasing raindrops on the helmet mask, Zhang Yifei began to realize that the rain in the previous weather forecast was coming.

The race has now reached 25 laps, and there are still almost five laps to go before the fastest pit stop for the one-stop tactic. The problem that Prost was worried about before the race, Zhang Yifei began to face, that is, how to face the slippery rain with tires whose grip has fallen from the peak?

But at this moment, Zhang Yifei didn't have any panic in his heart, except for the accident. The reason is very simple, that is, Schumacher in the rear car, who also uses a one-stop tactic, with soft tires!

And even without the factor of Schumacher, Zhang Yifei is also fearless, because his ability to fight in the rain is stronger than everyone imagined.

Coupled with the East China Sea Track, Zhang Yifei can give himself a title without modesty, that is, the God of Rain War!
