Just as if he had a tacit understanding, Schumacher in the rear car, launched an offensive against Zhang Yifei in front of the car without hesitation after ate the wake.

And compared to before, Schumacher was more fierce and extreme this time, as if he wanted to tell Zhang Yifei that he was the ruler of this Monaco track and now he wanted to regain his position.

Facing Schumacher's attack, Zhang Yifei could not see any fear and treated him extremely tough. After all, even if he had a car crash at the beginning, he did not give in, let alone now that he has worked hard for a short half of the game. How could he admit defeat at this point in time?

"Schumacher is angry, I want to see how Fei can defend him."

McLaren Chairman Ron Dennis, watching Schumacher's crazy offensive on the track, said with interest.

When he left, Dennis was knocked out of the track by Barrichello, because Coothard was knocked out of the track by Barricello. However, now he has calmed down and is looking at the situation on the track as a team leader.

As can be seen from Schumacher's actions, the King of Monaco, who made a comeback, was very angry.

It would be fine if the pole position was lost. Now if he could not even escape the Chinese young player who had damaged the front wind wing, that would be a real humiliation.

Although Senna perfectly crushed Prost on this track, no matter how many people say that both sides are drivers at the same level, it is not embarrassing to lose the championship.

No matter how popular the Chinese boy is, without the glory of the world champion, he will still be one level shorter in the racing industry. If Schumacher is overwhelmed from beginning to end, it may have a great impact on his status and reputation, and may even become a stepping stone for Zhang Yifei.

In any case, he must fight back and prove his dominance.

"It's hard to defend against, especially when facing Schumacher who is doing his best."

The team manager Whit Marsh next to him shook his head. He was not optimistic about Zhang Yifei.

This is not to say that there is a huge gap in strength, but the damage to the fixed wind wing has a great impact on control. Even if Senna is allowed to control it, it may not necessarily prevent Schumacher. Can the Chinese boy now be more powerful than Senna?

It can even be said that Zhang Yifei was able to run until now and used Alonso to restrain time to set aside a little distance, which has shown his strength and talent well. Many things cannot be changed by manpower after all.

Just as McLaren predicted, Schumacher, who attacked with all his strength, even though the racing adjustment was not good at low speed, still threatened Zhang Yifei. Almost every corner was in danger.

If it weren't for the Monaco track that it was really difficult, and the impact of the low-speed curved wind wing was smaller than expected, maybe Zhang Yifei would have been easily overtaken by Schumacher.

But even so, Zhang Yifei was still defending tenaciously, and often had a decisive decisiveness of "death together", forcing Schumacher to give up the RV action.

Zhang Yifei's psychology is also very straightforward, and he is even a bit hooligan. That is, my racing kit has been damaged, so I am not afraid of breaking one more place. If you have the ability, Schumacher will come and bump. As long as two people don't bump into the race, I will definitely make a profit!

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Now Zhang Yifei is the barefoot. He has no other way except to threaten Schumacher with this "suicide" attack.

Schumacher was very angry at first, but now he was even more angry in his heart when facing Zhang Yifei's bachelor behavior. However, he was different from Helio and Montoya before, and these American drivers. No matter how much emotional changes occur, Schumacher can always maintain a limit of rationality.

Instead of getting ahead of this, he had to overtake more and more tough, but maintained this high-intensity oppressive situation and slowly looked for opportunities.

In fact, this is the trait of top drivers. Just like Alonso introduced before, no matter how much he likes to complain or how annoying it is, he is like a hunting lion on the track, and can endure and wait patiently.

When that time for overtaking comes, the world will see what cruel "killing" is.

The twenty-sixth, the twenty-seventh, the twenty-eighth…

The number of laps of the schedule continued to rise. After catching up with Zhang Yifei from the 25th lap, the two of them were in a stalemate.

This "stable" situation has made many Chinese fans on the track who are not particularly familiar with F1 and gradually become excited. They believe that this is Zhang Yifei's defense success and Schumacher can't get over it.

"It seems that Schumacher's offense is not that strong, Yifei can still defend it!"

"I feel that the situation has stabilized. When the bead changes come, all the crises will be resolved!"

"Stay on flying, I always believe that you will be crowned king!"

Compared to the excitement of ordinary car fans, professional practitioners in the fleet strategy group are not so optimistic, and even feel that a crisis is coming.

"Schumacher is waiting for the opportunity. These few laps before entering the station are the most dangerous time to fly."

Henry looked at the state on the track with a nervous look on his face, and there was no time to enter the station at all, and the feeling of relaxation of the crisis resolved.

On the contrary, he became more and more nervous at this moment, because the closer it was to the tire change time, it meant that the peak of tire grip had passed and began to drop significantly, making it increasingly difficult to control.

You should know that the reason why Zhang Yifei lost a small piece of the front wind wing and still insisted on not entering the station to replace the accessories is that on the Monaco track, the mechanical grip effect is greater than the downforce of the air.

The main source of mechanical grip is tires and chassis. There is nothing to say about chassis adjustment, and the rest is tire wear.

Because it is difficult to overtake, most teams choose a stop-off tactic on the Monaco track. This means that the time for the first entry point is about laps 40 to laps 45 of the schedule.

If some tire protection masters have particularly strong abilities, they can delay this time point to 50 laps. The further the number of turns, the faster the light-load oil sprints out under the high grip state after changing the tire, and the faster it can turn defeat into victory.

Now that the schedule has reached 35 laps, Zhang Yifei has done a good job in tire protection due to Alonso's restraint this time. He did not drive too much fiercely in the early stage, and the tire loss is not serious.

However, as Schumacher caught up, the two began to fight fiercely, and the effect of pressing the car and maintaining the tires was not as good as that of the beginning, and the wear level also increased significantly.

At this time, Zhang Yifei's racing tires had passed the peak and his grip was in the process of constantly weakening. The aerodynamic balance had been destroyed, but now the mechanical grip was gradually insufficient. So the difficulty of Zhang Yifei's handling in the corner can be imagined.

So at this moment, this stalemate situation is not because Zhang Yifei successfully suppressed Schumacher and made him unable to overcome it. Instead, the calmness before the storm came. Schumacher also knew where the limit of Zhang Yifei's racing was, and he was waiting for the opportunity to come.

"Why should we enter the station early?"

At this time, the technical director Leo said, "Now it is almost close to the upper limit of entry time. If the situation is really critical, enter the station in advance to change the tire and change the wind wing."

Hearing Leo's words, the members of the strategy team all looked at Cosell. Because this was a decision that required courage. The total schedule was 78 laps, and it was only halfway through the game now, so it was not impossible to enter the station.

However, this means that Zhang Yifei basically had no potential in the final stage of the explosive sprint, because his tires had already passed the peak of grip at that time.

This kind of solution to quench thirst by drinking poison, but many people often cannot hold on to drink it even if they know it is poisonous wine in order to solve the current difficulties.

"At least five more laps!"

Kossel said a number expressionlessly, that is, if Zhang Yifei wants to enter the station, he must at least defend Schumacher for five laps and pull the number of laps to 40 laps behind.

Hearing Cosell's words, the rest of the strategy group didn't know what to say. Now it feels that every lap of defense is extremely difficult. You just need to speak for five laps, and at least?

However, no matter how difficult it is, Kossel at least made a decision. He would not let Zhang Yifei enter the station in advance by drinking poison to quench his thirst. If you want to win the championship in Monaco, you must defend Schumacher at this moment!

The 39th lap, the 40th lap, the 41st lap!

Zhang Yifei stubbornly blocked three laps in front of Schumacher's powerful pressure. At this moment, the super soft tire he started was basically in a flat state. It was not flat in the sense of "bald tire", but soft rubber with surface grip, which had worn on the entire track.

You should know that in order to get an advantage before the race, Zhang Yifei chose the more extreme dual super soft tire stop plan. There is no mandatory requirement in this era, and two sets of tires with different formulas must be used, so it is also possible to run with super soft tires to the end.

If everything goes well in the plan, Zhang Yifei's pole position and tire pressure vehicle can use the characteristics of the Monaco track to last forty laps.

As a result, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and now super soft tires have become a disadvantage. The smoothed tires and the confusing racing airflow make Zhang Yifei's racing stability at any time on the verge of losing control.

He actually doesn't dare to walk many of his squid routes, for fear of losing control and hitting the guardrail. The only thing he can do is to hold on to the center line, and then use the threat of the crash to force Schumacher to throw himself into a rat.

Perhaps because he realized that Zhang Yifei was at his limit, Schumacher broke the deadlock and launched a more powerful attack. This made Zhang Yifei more insulted. Even if it was a fierce lane change, the car showed signs of slipping and swaying, and it felt like it was only a matter of time before he was overtaken.

"The grip of the fly tire is no longer good. No matter how strong the defense is, it cannot overcome the laws in physics."

Brendel also saw that Zhang Yifei's racing stability collapsed. He had to be careful without Schumacher's attack, and now he was in a dangerous situation.

"Yes, it's hard to hold on to flying anymore. However, driving a car with a broken aerodynamic balance for more than half of the schedule and blocking Schumacher behind is definitely an absolute reflection of personal strength!"

Jacques also understood Zhang Yifei's "crunch", but he still praised him.

Because this is an impossible task, Zhang Yifei has reached the limit of all aspects with his own strength. To describe it in a Chinese idiom, it is called "defeated even if he fails", let alone has not failed yet.

"Enter the station, don't persevere anymore. If you fall behind, you still have a chance to overtake, and if you lose control, you will completely lose the opportunity."

Brendel sighed, the schedule has reached 41 laps, and although it is not the most perfect pit time, it has at least exceeded the upper limit of pit lap speed.

Perhaps this entry point is not perfect for the final sprint, but it is definitely not that there is no power to fight. It is time to take a step back.

Not only Brendel had this idea, but even at the Prost team repair station, Yukyo Yamamoto looked at Zhang Yifei on the verge of losing control on the track, he asked Cosell.

"The mentor, it's been more than 40 laps. Give the convoy instructions to let the flying enter the station."

After defending for 41 laps, he has exceeded the previous team's strategic team's goal. Now Schumacher has obviously strengthened the offensive. Zhang Yifei's situation is dangerous. It's time for him to enter the station to change tires and replace the wind wing before changing!

Cosel listened to Yamamoto Ukyo's suggestion, and there was no change in his expression on his face. He couldn't tell what was thinking in his mind.

"Cosel, you can enter the station, you can't hold on!"

Henry also spoke up and said, "What the German competition engineer didn't say from a professional perspective is that his style is too stubborn and radical!"

If this situation is placed in other convoys, you can consider letting Zhang Yifei enter the station early after thirty-five laps.

This may lead to losing competitiveness in the final competition for the championship, but at least it should be no problem to be able to stabilize the top three.

If you really want to take a little risk, you can also let the driver enter the station when the limit is 40 laps. This is just limited competitiveness, not that there is no chance at all. You still have a chance to become the champion, and even if you are not good, you can still hold on to the second place.

It's already forty-one laps now, and Cosell has not issued a command to enter the station. If there is a loss of control during the defense, let alone the champion and runner-up, whether it can finish the game will be a problem. Is it really necessary to be so radical?

Perhaps the persuasion of the crew members had been effective, and Kossel pressed his hand on the red call button at this time.

Seeing his action, the crew members next to him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least let Schumacher pass, but he would just fall behind temporarily without losing control and hitting the guardrail.

"Fly, hold on for two more laps and prepare to enter the station."

What?

When they heard Cosell's instructions, the members of the maintenance station strategy team were shocked. Everyone looked at him with incredible eyes, wondering if they had heard it wrong just now.

Even the maintenance team in the garage next to it began to rush out and prepare for the race car to enter the station. Unexpectedly, Cosell's order actually made Zhang Yifei persist for two laps!

There is a situation where there is a possibility of losing control on the next corner. Do you let Zhang Yifei stick to it for two laps?

However, even if the crew members were confused, Kossell, as the chief competition engineer, had absolute authority during the event. Even if the boss Prost was on the scene, he had to let him control the situation.

Moreover, the team's instructions have been issued. If you immediately send another order that violates it, it will cause chaos among the drivers. It is better to firmly stick to one goal and grit your teeth and endure it!

At the same time, in the Ferrari fleet repair station next to him, Jean Todd also pressed the voice call button on the headset.

"Barrichello, get ready to block the car, it's time for you to play!"

That's right, Barrichello, another driver of the Ferrari team, went to the repair station to replace the damaged pneumatic kit after colliding with Cooterhard.
