456 Unconvinced
"Fly, pay attention to the Ferrari racing car approaching behind."
Kossel's reminder suddenly came from the headphones, which surprised Zhang Yifei.
Because it is only a Friday practice competition, not a weekend main competition, and there is no result in the practice competition, so it doesn’t matter whether you overtake or not, it doesn’t mean anything.
Moreover, the first few laps of the practice race were all technical test circles, and the drivers on the track were slower, so there was no need to remind them. However, with Cossel's personality, he would never do anything meaningless, and there must be something going on later.
So Zhang Yifei looked at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eyes, and a red Ferrari racing car appeared inside, galloping towards him like burning flames.
However, the two cars are still a bit far away, and in order to reduce wind resistance as much as possible and conform to the aerodynamic layout, Zhang Yifei was unable to see the racing number on the front of the car clearly.
However, he had a vague premonition in his heart that the person driving the Ferrari car behind him would not be Schumacher, but Ferrari second driver Barrichello.
With this question in mind, Zhang Yifei focused part of his attention and placed it on the Ferrari car behind him.
He found that the opponent's car was extremely fast, far beyond the conventional technical test circle, and he was driving almost according to the standards of the main race. At this speed, the Ferrari racing quickly shortened the distance with Zhang Yifei, and he could already see the racing number on the front of the car.
Just as Zhang Yifei had premonition before, the clear number "2" on the front of the car represents that the person who controls this Ferrari is Barrichello!
The number of f1 racing cars is different from that of Renault's primary formula. In most cases, it is arranged in the order of points from last season. For example, the number of the annual champion driver of last season is No. 1 racing, so the number of car on the track is Mike Ge Schumacher!
However, No. 2 Racing is not the runner-up of the year last year, but will give this number to the teammates of the annual championship. Even if the championship teammates had zero eggs last season and had no points, he would still be No. 2 Racing.
In addition, there is a default rule for racing numbers, that is, odd numbers represent the No. 1 driver of the team, and even numbers are the No. 2 driver of the team. Therefore, Zhang Yifei's number is 13, and Alaisi's racing number becomes 14.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Yifei, as a newcomer in the season, could not get a higher number like 13. However, after the race last season, the Arrows, Stewart, and Benetton teams went bankrupt one after another and returned to the f1 paddock as a new team.
So even Prost, which is at the bottom with Minardi team, has reached the front row with his qualifications and got the two numbers 13 and 14, which just saved Zhang Yifei from changing the driver's number.
So seeing the speed of No. 2 racing, Zhang Yifei was thinking about Barrichello's motivation. Is he going to do something in the practice race?
On the other hand, Barrichello's abnormal behavior also attracted the attention of the track commentator Brendel.
"At this moment, an unusual scene appeared on the track. Barrichello from Ferrari was chasing the Prost driver in front of him."
"You should know that it is Friday's practice competition, and everyone is still in the technical testing circle. Barrichello's speed is equivalent to giving up feedback assessment of the track condition. Even if Barrichello is fighting locally and is very familiar with the Interlagers track, I believe he is not so confident. He will give up feedback assessment of the track directly?"
"This kind of action made me think about Fei's bold statement in the interview after the Malaysian race and his response to the interview before the Brazilian race. If he takes practical actions to prove now, will the Chinese boy not be his opponent?"
Brendel's tone of commentator was very excited. It has been a long time since he saw this scene of a well-known driver taking the initiative to attack the newcomer, let alone in the practice stage. He really wanted to see how the arrogant driver Fei would deal with it in the face of Barrichello's anger!
Hearing Brendel's words, the Brazilian commentator Gonzalez, who was sitting next to him, responded in a disdainful tone.
"The Chinese newcomer will soon realize that he has been attacking an opponent he shouldn't be provoked, and Barrichello will teach this young boy a lesson by spanking."
Gonzalez's commentator was very confident and arrogant, completely different from the previous Malay local commentator Mohada.
The main reason here is naturally the difference in strength of the local drivers of the two countries. Mohada also wants to respond arrogantly to Zhang Yifei, but his strength does not allow it. Malaysian Bear Dragon can't fight Zhang Yifei, and the others have no hope, and they have no confidence to say something sarcastic.
Gonzalez is different. Brazil has produced three world champion drivers in decades of F1 racing history. And Elton Senna has even stood at the top of the pyramid of the pyramid of the car world. Before Schumacher achieved the seven-champion achievement, Senna was the undisputed first person in the F1 car world, the eternal god of car!
Perhaps Brazil is not as good as the old racing powerhouses in terms of overall quality and number of champions, such as Germany, Britain, Finland, etc. However, facing Chinese drivers, Gonzalez has a strong psychological advantage, and in their eyes, Zhang Yifei is a little brat in front of adults.
When Gonzalez said this, it aroused strong recognition from the Brazilian audience in the stands. Zhang Yifei performed very well in the first two stops of the season, but a third place in the sub-station is far from enough in the face of Brazil's historical results. They have the capital to be contempt and proud.
"Baricello did not disappoint me. He taught the Chinese some lessons and made him recognize his status."
"Now, no matter how many cats and dogs dare to provoke Brazilian drivers, fuk Chinese!"
"Catch up and knock him out of the track, this is the wildness we Brazilian drivers should be!"
Various clamors sounded in the stands, and they really didn't take Zhang Yifei seriously at all.
For Brazilian fans, as long as Barrichello chooses to take action, this game will become unsuspecting. How can Chinese rookies compare to Ferrari drivers?
Feeling the pursuit of Ferrari behind him, Zhang Yifei naturally understood that this was Barrichello's provocation to him.
Of course, from the perspective of Barrichello and Brazilians, Zhang Yifei is not worthy of letting him provoke. This is just a little lesson for the newcomer, making him understand who is the senior and the boss in the f1 paddock.
To be honest, although Zhang Yifei agrees with Barrichello's strength at his peak, after all, Barrichello completed the miracle of starting at the first pick and finally winning the sub-station championship, it would be impossible to do without hard strength.
But from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Yifei never put Barrichello in a high position, because the suspicion of "small money" and holding his thighs was too obvious. Zhang Yifei's gambler Zhang's arrogant personality was destined to be not the same as Barrichello.
Take the most famous Ferrari car-giving incident as an example. Barrichello was indeed wronged, and Schumacher also understood the other party's favor, so at that time, he asked Barrichello to stand in the championship position and handed him the championship trophy, which also led to being punished for disrupting the podium order.
As a result, Barrichello later took out "revelations" every now and then, and this behavior was a bit like that.
If you follow Zhang Yifei's personality, you either directly refuse the team's instructions. I'm so good at leading Schumacher with my ability. Why do you want me to let the car? If you have the ability to let Schumacher surpass him, then I will be convinced if I lose.
If the team is punished or terminated due to this, there is no problem. I don’t want to stay in such an unfair team. Change the team and use the results to revenge Ferrari and prove your strength!
Even the Finnish Iceman can challenge the powerful six-champ Schumacher, Rosberg beat Hamilton to the peak. At that time, he was the second-ranked figure in the F1 car world. Barrichello, who was at his peak, was so useless and dared not leave the Ferrari team to prove that he could fight Schumacher?
It’s okay if you really don’t have enough money. I just signed a two-year contract and used it as a car bought by the fleet with money, so I got what you pay for.
Shut up when you collect money, and just make a good meal. At that time, I didn’t dare to speak up. I would use this as a selling point of TV stations and autobiography in the future, and it would be a bit suspicious of raising a archway.
This is why Zhang Yifei did not place Barrichello in a very high position, not because he was not strong enough, but because Barrichello did not let Zhang Yifei see that he was proud and bloody enough.
It's okay, but you must not be timid. No matter whether the other party is Ferrari or Schumacher, without my belief that I can't reach the top championship, I will not be able to reach the top.
Facts have proved that Barrichello, who has won the world runner-up title for two times, is indeed just a breath away and can only become a qualified green leaf driver and is destined to miss the championship.
If it is an ordinary driver's practice competition, Zhang Yifei will let the opponent surpass him. In the previous two practice competitions, Zhang Yifei drove a lap of more than two minutes, and was even ridiculed by the track audience, which was almost the same as a turtle climb.
However, Zhang Yifei doesn't care about these things. The main competition is the moment to decide the outcome. What's the slower technical test circle? Is it not allowed to adapt slowly as a newcomer in the track?
After all, I am a professional driver. How could I be like a "road rage" driver on the road? I would be as irritable as a driver who was over the car. Everything was followed by the team's strategy and I would adapt to my situation.
But this time it was different. It might be because of the unhappiness of Barrichello's provocation of his own operation, or it might be because of his dissatisfaction with him. Zhang Yifei did not want him to surpass him.
