"Simmonds, it seems that my prediction is correct, but the Chinese boy still can't help it."

At the Williams fleet repair station, Sir Williams had an excited expression on his face, and he was satisfied with his success prediction.

The death threat before the race, the practice race was crushed and crashed and withdrew from the race, plus the enthusiastic audience of the Brazilian track.

Most people think that even a Chinese boy has to keep his hands on the Brazilian track, even if he is a dragon, he must be honest, and he should be timid and arrogant.

In fact, this is the case. After quitting the race, Zhang Yifei became much more low-key. Not only did he not act tough on the track, but he did not respond to Montoya's provocation and overtaking. If it weren't for the outstanding performance in the qualifying race in the future, he would feel that he would be lost in the public.

Now it seems that the ostentatious driver is still flying after all. He can't bear it for a while, but can't bear it for a lifetime.

However, Sir Williams feels very fond of Zhang Yifei's personality. F1 drivers without personality will never become superstars in the car world!

Williams team director Simmonds was also very emotional when he heard the boss's words.

"I really didn't expect that China could produce such a strong driver. Even the Brazilian track couldn't scare him and began to confront Barrichello head-on.

"But he is really not afraid that the threat of death will come true and cannot get out of the Interlagers track?"

Simmonds admired Zhang Yifei for his courage to challenge Barrichello directly at this time.

But is this newly-grown Chinese newcomer really not afraid? Seeking profit and avoiding harm is the nature of most people. Sometimes it’s nothing to admit their cowards, especially on other people’s territory.

"He actually considered retreating, but Barrichello was a little too aggressive, and retreating would be a coward."

“As for the death threat.”

Sir Williams paused for a moment, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

"A small control mistake on the track may lead to death. If you are so afraid of death, you will not choose to take the professional driver's path. If you carefully observe the video of Fei's race, you will understand how life-threatening this Chinese boy is."

"He has unyielding in his bones, and the toughness he just showed is his true character."

"Boss, you seem to admire Fei very much."

Simmonds began to realize that Sir Williams seemed to be a little too complimenting about the Chinese driver. The appreciation in his words was simply beyond words, and it was rare to see the boss so optimistic about a newcomer.

Hearing Simmonds' words, Sir Williams also reacted, and he coughed and replied, "Is there any?"

"have."

"Maybe."

Sir Williams still did not completely admit it. After all, he has the pride of the boss of the Big Three team, and Zhang Yifei currently lacks convincing enough results.

If you want to be recognized in your strength, you must at least get a sub-station championship title to be qualified.

After the driver's parade, Zhang Yifei returned to the team repair station and prepared for the next main race.

The team members did not have too many surprises about what he said on the float. If Zhang Yifei could swallow his anger in the face of Barrichello's provocation, he would not be the extremely radical Zhang Yifei on the track!

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yifei had already put on a full set of racing suits and sat in the racing car. There were still ten minutes left to be the main race time of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The racing car had been ignited and preheated, and two hair dryers were helping the engine to assist in cooling.

"Remember, according to the race plan, don't think about surpassing Barrichello after starting, first press the car behind, and then consider catching up after No. 1 Senna."

At this time, Cosell emphasized the team strategy to prevent Zhang Yifei from making some reckless operations due to emotional factors after he got on the track, such as thinking about surpassing Barrichello at the beginning.

After the Intelligence Track starts, it will face a long straight line, which needs to push the gear to the highest level and then move forward at a fast speed.

To be honest, this kind of track layout with a long straight road is quite unfavorable for Zhang Yifei.

Because Prost's racing performance is weak, and the starting stage is the easiest time to overtake, if the performance is not enough in the long straight road, Zhang Yifei is likely to be "hardly eaten" by other racing cars.

In addition, after the long straight is the No. 1 Sena Bend, which is named after Elton Sena, the greatest driver in Brazil ever. It is probably very similar to an S-turn, which is also one of the most critical overtaking points on the Interlagers track.

If the long straight road is behind, it means that there is no competitiveness in the Senna Bend, and at that time, it may be thrown far away by the opponent at the beginning.

Prost Racing is absolutely capable of playing with Ferrari. As long as Barrichello does not make any big mistakes in starting, it is too difficult for Zhang Yifei to surpass him and the chance is too small.

The problem is that with Barrichello's current state, it is difficult to make any control mistakes at the beginning. If Zhang Yifei wants to start and overtake, the final situation will be that both ends will be unpleasant, and he will not be able to surpass Barrichello and has not blocked the racing car behind him.

So the team strategy formulated by Cosel is to find ways to suppress the car at the beginning and not focus all your attention on Barrichello. You should know that on the F1 track, there are not only Barrichello opponents, but also 20 other "enemys"!

"I see."

After Zhang Yifei nodded, he pushed off his helmet mask directly, then loosened the clutch and drove the car to the starting point on the track.

The Brazilian Grand Prix has always been one of the most important overseas stops in the F1 season. There are often exciting rain battles and fanatical and distinctive audiences here. The most important point is that Brazil is considered a non-European region, and the country with the most F1 drivers has emerged, with a strong racing culture.

The drivers' confrontation with each other during the parade made Zhang Yifei absorb enough firepower at this moment, and even banners like "fuckxxx" appeared on the track.

It has to be said that Zhang Yifei is the first newcomer driver in Brazil's history to attract hatred. Even in terms of attention, it can be said that he is comparable to a "superstar". After all, compared to the existence of ordinary newcomers who do not even deserve names, Zhang Yifei has been promoted to the protagonist of the Interlagers track.

Of course, it is the villain protagonist.

"I finally let me wait until the main competition. Let's see how Barrichello rubs against this Chinese guy later!"

"It's not just Barrichello, but Montoya! I'm waiting for a scene of starting and overtaking to appear!"

"Even Schumacher dares to be presumptuous in the American track, the driver flies and causes trouble!"

"If Zhang Yifei loses today, he must bow his head to Barrichello and apologize after the game, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

"Brazil drivers are not that provocative!"

Various clamors were heard in the stands, and they were still in the idle preparation stage, and the engine noise was not high. Although Zhang Yifei could not hear clearly what these Brazilian or Colombian audiences had said, he could still vaguely hear the whistle and boo.

There is no doubt that the only one who can get such "customedness" on the track now is himself.

However, the corners of Zhang Yifei's mouth rose slightly, just as if the driver was angry was useless. The ridicule on the track was basically useless for a professional player who had passed the psychological quality.

Almost all well-known figures in competitive sports experience how much slander they have experienced before they receive praise.

If you can't even withstand these ridicule and ridicule, you will not be qualified to reach the top.

The sneer at the corner of his mouth was Zhang Yifei's disdain for the audience in the stands.

Five indicator lights above the track went out, and all racing cars began to warm up the tires in the first lap. Today, Prost team made three stops tactics. The first set of tires used soft tires, and then based on the degree of tire protection, it was decided whether the second set of tires should continue to use soft tires or replace with neutral tires.

The last set of tires is also determined to use soft tires or super soft tires to perform the final sprint based on the remaining schedule.

The Brazilian track in the southern hemisphere is still losing to high temperatures at this moment, and the tire temperature can easily reach the working temperature when the bead is warmed. This climate is destined to enter the fierce position grab stage after the first lap after starting.

So the drivers all know that the war is coming soon, and there is no need to waste tires and energy in the warm beads. Even if Zhang Yifei is sandwiched between two American drivers, Barrichello and Montoya, there is a strange state of peace.

"I believe that the audience has already expected this game, especially during the driver's parade, the positive provocation between Fei and Barrichello made this game full of gunpowder."

"However, judging from the layout of the Interlagers track, Prost racing, which was flying in the initial stage, has a great disadvantage. We all know that during the winter test, the absolute speed of Prost racing is the last among the 11 teams."

"Whether flying can surpass Barrichello, or whether you can defend Montoya behind it, is the current suspense. However, one thing is certain, the initial stage of the main competition will be a wonderful drama."

Brendel's tone was a little excited, and his mentality was the same as Sir Williams before. There must be a fairly good confrontation on the track to be exciting, otherwise unilaterally strong or admit defeat will make the competition lack a lot of fun.

"I don't think there is any suspense. Flying cannot surpass Barrichello at the beginning. If he can block Montoya, it is already his best performance."

Gonzalez replied confidently, even if it doesn’t matter how good the driving skills are, the absolute performance of the car is here. The long straight acceleration is nothing more than the control of the timing of shifting gears. This can enter the f1 paddock, and no driver will fail the gear shift.

In the initial stage, if the racing performance is advantageous, Zhang Yifei can still be overtaken, so don’t go to retire.
