465 The Provocateur (Chapter 1)

“go!”

Accompanied by Charlie's roar, Zhang Yifei stepped down the accelerator, the F1 racing engine made a crazy roar, and the js53 racing car came out of the repair station and drove into the repair channel.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei heard the roar of the engine in his ears, and the excitement and passion in his heart instantly surged up.

Perhaps the Prost car I drove was not the best performance in the f1 paddock at present. But as long as you can hold the steering wheel and hear the sound of the engine, Zhang Yifei could feel the power and support this Formula One car, which was born purely for competition, brought to him.

This kind of speed and passion, as well as the ultimate pleasure of wandering on the edge of out of control, is not something other racing cars can give. Only by sitting in the cockpit of the F1 racing car, can Zhang Yifei truly understand the group of knights on the Isle of Man, because speed is their same pursuit!

"The No. 13 car flying by Chinese drivers appeared on the track again after giving up the first practice race."

"According to our previous understanding, Fei gave up the first practice race because of the racing failure. I just don't know if the racing car has been repaired as before in just a few hours of repairs, and has adapted to the high-intensity race in the F1 paddock?"

Just as Brendel finished speaking, Gonzalez immediately added a sarcastic sentence: "I think it shouldn't be the reason for the racing failure, but I'm afraid."

"Oh, if you fly so hard in the previous two stops, would you be afraid at the Interrages track? This doesn't fit his personality."

"Maybe he hasn't encountered a strong opponent like Barrichello before, but who knows the specific reason?"

Faced with Gonzalez's tone and attitude, Brendel just smiled and did not argue with him.

"Are you scared of flying? The performance on the track will give us the answer, but I believe that the newbie who is extremely arrogant on the track will not be afraid of challenges."

Both commentators focused on Zhang Yifei on the track, because the rhythm was disrupted by Barrichello in the first practice game, and Zhang Yifei did not actually conduct track evaluation and adaptation.

So this time he went on the track again, his car was not fast, but he adapted to and became familiar with the track according to the process of the practice competition technical test circle.

To be honest, although the practice match against Barrichello was lost, it was not without benefits. At least Zhang Yifei knew where the limits of many corners of Interlagers were.

Moreover, the summary and help of Kossel and Alessi after the game actually made Zhang Yifei's understanding of the track sharply deepen, and the effect may be even greater than that of a regular practice match.

After all, it is still the same old saying. Only by failing can we learn more profound lessons.

"Fly, how about suspension adjustment?"

Cosel's voice came from the headset. It was obvious that he began to intervene too much in this battle, intending to share the pressure on Zhang Yifei.

"The suspension adjustment is very suitable. Under normal speed driving conditions, the shock filter is much better than before. When I go down the speed test ring, I will try the mechanical grip when I turn around and the impact on the suspension when riding on the shoulder."

"Very good, keep testing."

Kossel let go of the red call button, and the data of various racing sensors on the large screen was normal, and this adjustment was very successful.

In fact, Zhang Yifei's final adjustment also borrowed a lot of Alaisi's track feedback data, and based on Zhang Yifei's driving habits, it was a little harder, otherwise it would not have achieved the current effect.

After a lap, Zhang Yifei felt perfect. He planned to run a lap again and get familiar with the track, and then started to speed up and test the lap.

But at this moment, Zhang Yifei heard the violent engine roar coming from behind him. It was obvious that someone was performing full throttle acceleration.

It is now the second round of practice, and it is not strange that drivers conduct lap tests early. Moreover, the full throttle acceleration and deceleration are also part of the tire test.

Zhang Yifei didn't think much about it at this time and took a little aside to give up a route, which is also a practice competition. In the absence of competition, he would give up the route to the full throttle test race car.

Because the tire usage in each race is limited, the team must scientifically control the tire usage in three practice competitions. This full throttle acceleration has a considerable loss to the tires and is used by the team to test the fastest lap.

If you are blocked for nothing, not only will the lap speed not be tested, but the tires will also wear out in vain. Therefore, everyone will have a tacit understanding in the practice competition to give way to the lap test car and do not deliberately block things.

But what Zhang Yifei did not expect happened. The car did not directly surpass Zhang Yifei. Instead, when Zhang Yifei gave way, he suddenly braked and slowed down and stood side by side with him.

The other party's action made Zhang Yifei look at it. The blue and white "BMW" style painted racing car was very familiar. After all, the previous two tracks were Zhang Yifei's powerful opponents.

This car is the fw26 "Sabretooth Tiger" racing car from Williams team. The number 4 on the front of the car means that he is the team's newcomer Montoya!

Is the first one to come to the door?

Seeing that it was Montoya, Zhang Yifei was not surprised, because Cosel had already expected that many opponents would provoke him in this practice match and prepare to "stop the wall and push everyone".

Montoya is considered his "family feud" on the track, and even surpasses the Gemini feud with Kimi Raikkonen. After all, Kimi is quite indifferent and is not the kind of person who likes to provoke and be arrogant.

But Montoya is different. The four words "American wildness" are the most suitable to describe him. Not to mention the matter of Barrichello. Even if it doesn't, he wouldn't choose to admit defeat, but he would come to trouble Zhang Yifei.

Unless a real strong man appears between the two and wins the driver's championship title, the other party will not be convinced.

"Nice! This is the wildness of our American drivers, take revenge, Montoya!"

"The time to prove that Colombia's pride is here!"

"Kill the Chinese guy, so he will never dare to provoke American drivers again!"

"Come on Montoya, you are the real world champion!"

Various cheers sounded, and nearly 10,000 Colombian audiences were gathered into a group. It is not to be underestimated.

Not to mention that in addition to supporting their own drivers, Brazilian fans also have a good impression of Montoya. After all, American drivers have begun to wither after Senna. Although Montoya is running in the Indy series, it is one of the few outstanding players in South America in recent years.

In the first two F1 events, the Colombian superstar driver and world champion member were actually crushed by a Chinese newcomer. This result is simply unacceptable for Colombian audiences.

Now the opportunity has finally come, and even the commentator believes that losing to Barrichello puts great pressure on Zhang Yifei, and the opportunity for revenge is today!

"Fly, keep your pace."

Seeing Montoya's actions side by side, Kossel directly reminded him through the convoy's voice.

He is an aggressive race engineer, and it can even be said that in order to win, even the safety of the drivers can be brought to the back row.

But Kossel is also a very rigorous and rational German. He has no meaning and he is disdainful to do it. Anger should not exist in the minds of F1 drivers. As for provocation or other actions, it is even more a joke.

As long as you can get good results or championship battles in the main competition, let alone provocation, even if you are more ruthless, you can directly knock your opponent out of the track? Cosell never cared about these external remarks and ridicule, because the world will only remember the winner in the end.

"I see."

Zhang Yifei replied lightly, without making a counterattack, allowing Montoya to surpass him.

Montoya's response was beyond Montoya's expectations. After all, the two of them were considered old opponents, and they even hit the car.

Based on Montoya's understanding of Zhang Yifei, this Chinese driver is definitely not a coward. With his obvious provocation, Zhang Yifei had already stepped on the floor oil to block the car.

"Montoya, block the car and provoke."

Sir Williams' cold voice came from the headphones. He was actually optimistic about Zhang Yifei, but for the benefit of the team, this kind of optimism is worthless. Zhang Yifei is now the "enemy" of Williams' team!

Hearing the instructions of the convoy, Montoya slowed down his speed to block the car, but even so, Zhang Yifei still maintained his previous rhythm and had no desire to overtake at all.

This made Montoya a little depressed. The other party refused to respond to his unilateral provocation at all. So what is the point of such provocation? And according to the track rules, he might even have to be punished if he blocks the car slowly and maliciously.

"Boss, Fei will not respond to the battle, will he continue to block it?"

Sir Williams looked at the situation on the track, holding his hands on his chest and his face looked very serious.

Zhang Yifei's reaction was also beyond his expectations. It is logical that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. Not to mention that it has reached the point of blocking the car, even if there is an overtaking action before, Zhang Yifei could not bear it.

This is because he was defeated by Barrichello, which crushed the confidence of the Chinese newcomer and made him afraid to deal with the provocation.

Or did he calm down and didn't care about these provocations on the track, and began to have his own rhythm and plan?
