"The fall of genius: Schumacher ran his worst practice race. ”

"A lose-lose deal, a move to the Tianming team could be a turning point in Schumacher's career. ”

"The first day of practice for the F1 opener was a battle of speed between Barrichello and Hakkinen, with Schumacher the biggest backdrop. ”

…………

Sure enough, the next day, the media around the world rushed to report the results of yesterday's two free practice sessions, and the heat of Barrichello and Hakkinen, who shone on the track, was stolen by Schumacher, who had a mediocre result.

Following the previous decline in Schumacher's development career in the Tianming team, coupled with Schumacher's performance in the practice session yesterday, many media confirmed that "Schumacher's trip to the Tianming team is self-destructive".

The authoritative media "Motorsport" made a more objective summary of Schumacher's performance in practice yesterday, the media said,

"Although Schumacher's results in practice matches his performances in previous seasons, considering that the new Tianming team is participating in the Formula 1 championship for the first time, there is certainly no way to compare the performance of the car with traditional powerhouses such as Ferrari and McLaren, so it is not only unfair but also ridiculous to use an innocuous practice session to deny Schumacher's career for the rest of his career. ”

For Schumacher's qualifying session this afternoon and tomorrow's points race, "Motorsports" believes that "Schumacher's performance in the first day of practice is getting better and better, and the performance of Tianming Racing cars is also getting better after many adjustments, we may have reason to expect that Schumacher in qualifying and the main race will bring us different excitement!"

In many lamenting reports, this analysis of "Motorsports" has won the approval of many people in the industry, although competitive sports have always been heroes by success or failure, but the final success or failure is not distinguished, only the person who wins the points race is the one who has the last laugh!

In the hotel conference room where the Tianming team stayed, Zhou Jingming did not go to Albert Park early as he did yesterday, because the president of the FIA, Paul, was talking to him in the conference room at this time.

"Mr. President, this time should be for the preparation of this year's F1 Chinese Grand Prix, right?" Zhou Jingming looked at Paul and asked with a smile.

"Exactly. Paul smiled and nodded. After all, this is the first time that China has hosted an F1 Grand Prix, and it is the last race of the season, and all the award ceremonies will be held in Shanghai, so Paul has to pay more attention.

"Please rest assured that Mr. President, we will never let anyone down in the large-scale events held in China, and now all the preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner, if Mr. President is not at ease, after the event here, I sincerely invite Mr. President to visit our Shanghai City, just to guide our event preparations, what do you think?"

"If it's convenient, then I'll go to China with Mr. Zhou, I haven't been to China for a long time, and I miss the scenery and food there. Instead of refusing, Paul responded with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back and make arrangements, and the day after tomorrow, Mr. Chairman will return to China with us." Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile.

"Regarding today's various reports, I hope Mr. Zhou doesn't mind too much, from my own point of view, Tianming Racing Team is able to run the same results as yesterday in the first time in the F1 Championship, which is already very good. Paul hesitated for a moment, then said.

Paul is not saying this with any flattery, but from the heart, as he has seen many teams competing in F1 for the first time during his time as president of the FIA, and of all these novice teams, the debut of the Tianming team is the best one.

In time, Paul even believes that the Tianming team can still win the glory of the annual constructors' championship!

"Thank you Mr. Chairman for your concern, it's just a practice match, I don't care what the outside world thinks, I believe Schumacher won't care, the next qualifying round and tomorrow's points race, please wait and see, maybe you will see unexpected surprises!" Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou said that, then I really have to pay special attention to the next performance of the Tianming team. Seeing Zhou Jingming's serious expression, Paul couldn't help but reply.

"The last free practice match this morning is about to start, do you want Mr. Chairman to go to the competition site with us?" After chatting for a while, Zhou Jingming looked at the time and said.

"Okay, let's go together. Paul smiled and nodded.

As the last free practice session of the Grand Prix, P3 is scheduled to be different from P1 in terms of schedule, with free practice sessions on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. and from 10:15 a.m. to 11 a.m.

There are not a few hours after P3, and from 1 to 2 p.m., qualifying will take place. Since P3 will take place a few hours before qualifying, in this practice session, the teams will test the teams in P3 for the next qualifying session.

Because qualifying is about the driver's lap time, P3 practice will be tested with light fuel and aggressive driving, and the team engineers will use remote sensing data to guide the driver to make the fastest lap strategy at the cost of fuel consumption and heavy tyre wear.

So, P3 was the last simulation exercise before qualifying.

After a night's rest, Schumacher reappeared on the track, and today the newspapers have a general understanding of the various reports about him, and when he went out to the race site in the morning, Schumacher was also surrounded by reporters, and the interview questions were nothing more than a few.

Fortunately, Schumacher did not take these rumors to heart, otherwise these reports and interviews alone would have been devastating.

"In today's two-stage practice match, we will practice according to the plan given by the strategy team last night, and our engineers will optimize the strategy according to the data you measured during the practice, just relax your mind. Before the practice match, Jonathan gave Schumacher his usual pre-match guidance.

Last night, through the joint efforts of all the team members, the optimal race strategy has been formulated for this afternoon's qualifying session, and the practice session that will start soon is used to test this plan.

"I know, during the practice match, I will give you the latest news in time. Schumacher nodded.

"Okay, then you're ready to play, we've got you set-up. Jonathan patted Schumacher on the shoulder and said.

As the clock ticked to 9 a.m., the last free practice session of the Australian Grand Prix officially began.

Amid the shouts of the audience, the drivers of each team appeared on the track one after another and began to carry out the final practice test according to the plan given by their team's strategy group.

After nearly two hours of practice matches, although the performance of Hakkinen and others was still eye-catching, many people found that Schumacher's ranking in this practice match had quietly risen to fifth place!

According to this trend, the pole position battle in the afternoon may really be very variable!
