As Teixeira's voice fell, the atmosphere in the whole room also became serious, in fact, everyone in the Ferrari team knew very well in their hearts that they had just won the championship last year, and if they wanted to successfully defend the title this year, unless there was a miracle, it was basically impossible.

This is not only because of the departure of Schumacher, which has caused the overall strength of their team to decline, but more importantly, the departure of Schumacher has also had a great impact on the mental health of the team members, and the decline in morale cannot be changed for a while.

Teixeira is naturally clear about this, for Schumacher, Teixeira's mood is very complicated, and it is very suitable to use the word "love and hate" to describe his evaluation of Schumacher.

It is true that Schumacher left a championship for the team, but it is also a fact that he abandoned the Ferrari team, as the team leader, Teixeira could not be relieved, so he wanted to tell Schumacher with actual results on the field that no matter how bad the Ferrari team is, it is not comparable to the newly established Tianming team!

Throughout the history of the Formula 1 World Championship, Scuderia Ferrari is the king!

"Kane, you don't have too much pressure in your heart, just play your level normally. After the rally, Teixeira left Kane behind and said it alone.

Kane, who is only 25 years old this year, is a typical English lad with blonde hair, who has been playing for the Jaguars before being poached by Ferrari, and does not have a lot of experience in F1 races.

At this time, Kane was both excited and apprehensive, excited that he could finally represent Ferrari in the F1 Grand Prix, and had a higher platform to express himself, and was worried that he was about to face champions such as Schumacher, Barrichello, and Hakkinen, who used to be what he needed to look up to, but now he is waiting for the opportunity to compete on the same stage.

"Knowing the team leader, I will adjust my mentality. Kane let out a long sigh of relief, trying not to get nervous. He was able to compete for the Scuderia Ferrari thanks to Schumacher's departure, but they will soon be rivals.

"If you have any doubts, you can ask Barrichello, I think he will be happy to answer for you. Teixeira paused and continued.

Each team will send two drivers to the race, and Barrichello is the second driver in the Scuderia Ferrari.

At the same time, in the same hotel, the Tianming team is also making a final mobilization meeting for the upcoming competition, and Zhao Ke and others, who came with Zhou Jingming, are also in Zhou Jingming's room at this time.

"I won't say much about the race, Jonathan must have told you many times, this is the first time that this is the first time that the Tianming team has participated in F1, especially for Schumacher, the outside world will definitely pay attention to your next performance, I don't give you any pressure, I hope you don't put too much pressure on yourself, just finish the race normally. ”

Zhou Jingming first looked at Schumacher and said. Only half a day after coming to Australia, Zhou Jingming has already seen reports in many newspapers about Schumacher's results this year.

"Chairman, please rest assured, the outside world's doubts about me will become the biggest motivation for me to compete, and I will fight back against them with practical actions. Schumacher replied indifferently.

Since Schumacher officially joined the Tianming team, all kinds of negative news from the outside world have not stopped, and Schumacher has become accustomed to it.

"As for Fei Xiaotian, anyway, this is your first time participating in the F1 race, and the biggest task is to accumulate experience, and I won't put pressure on you for the rest, and in any case, you must do safety first. Then, Zhou Jingming looked at another driver, Fei Xiaotian, and said.

This Fei Xiaotian is one of the young drivers selected by Jonathan that year, and he is also the best among all of them, after two years of large and small competitions, he finally obtained the "super driver's license" issued by the FIA and became the first Chinese driver to participate in F1 races.

"Well, I know the boss!" Fei Xiaotian nodded seriously, there was no panic on his immature face, only expectation and excitement, "I will try to learn from my predecessors." ”

After the others left, Zhou Jingming left Jonathan alone, once again emphasizing the importance of safety, and told the team to adjust the parameters of the car in the three practice sessions in the next two days to prevent accidents during the race.

A day later, on Friday 10 March, the first practice session of the Australian Grand Prix, the opening race of the 2000 Formula 1 World Championship, kicked off at Albert Park.

In the F1 championship, the arrangement of the competition system is stipulated by Brother Yan, which is divided into three types: practice race, qualifying race and main race.

Each F1 Grand Prix lasts for three days, the first day, that is, on Friday, there will be two practice sessions, on Saturday there will be another practice session, and then a few hours later, there will be qualifying, and the next day after qualifying, that is, Sunday, is the most important race of each Grand Prix, that is, the main race, also known as the points race.

The so-called practice session is mainly a free practice session on the track by each team, and according to the situation that arises in the connection, the team engineers make several adjustments to the car in order to make the car in the best condition for the next qualifying and main race.

There are three practice matches, which are represented by "P1, P2, and P3", and each free practice match has a different role.

The main purpose of P1 is to improve the basic tuning of the car, so that the driver can adapt to the car on the track, which is an important purpose of the first free practice session (P1), and the team engineers will evaluate the track characteristics and driver feedback, and adjust the car's powertrain, drivetrain, aerodynamic package and suspension system to get the best lap time.

The second free practice session on Friday afternoon was the second free practice session, and the race period of the second free practice session (P2) was very similar to the time period of the points race, and the environmental factors such as light, track temperature, and wind were basically the same, so the teams had the most work in the P2 stage.

The team's engineers and the rest of the crew will optimize the car's performance in the second free practice session to get the car to its best.

Because the three free practice sessions are an important foundation for the qualifying and points races in the future, many people in the industry even believe that "the importance of practice matches is more important than qualifying"!

This morning, the first free practice session of the year will take place.

The collision of speed and fury is about to unfold on the Albert Park Circuit!
