"Schumacher would have chosen to play at this time, does he want to compete for pole position as well?"

"Schumacher's best time in the previous three practice sessions was 1:25.203, and now if you want to take pole position, you have to push it to 1:24, how can it be so easy. ”

"Sooner or later, you have to play, and playing at this time is also convenient for you to revise your strategy later. ”

…………

Schumacher's appearance immediately aroused heated discussions among the audience, it can be said that any of Schumacher's current actions will be infinitely amplified by some people, for example, Schumacher's appearance this time was originally just a very ordinary thing, but it still has to be speculated by so many people.

Hakkinen and Barrichello, who had just finished their game, couldn't help but look at Schumacher on the field, Barrichello even smiled at Schumacher, after all, the two have been partners for many years, and they still have some feelings.

"Does Mr. Zhou think Schumacher will be able to surpass Barrichello's time of 1:24.962 this time?" Paul asked with a smile as he looked in the direction of Schumacher on the field.

"No, you can't. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingming shook his head very firmly.

Now it was Paul's turn to figure it out, "If you can't, then why doesn't Mr. Zhou worry in the slightest?"

Didn't you say that if you let yourself watch it carefully, there will be surprises? Could this be the surprise that Zhou Jingming said?

"There was an hour in total for the whole qualifying session, and if it didn't work this time, wouldn't there be a second time? Besides, when I say that Schumacher can't be ranked first temporarily, that's just my opinion, and it doesn't represent Schumacher's real achievements. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

Again, before the points race is over, everything can happen.

"In that case, Mr. Zhou still believes that Schumacher will be able to take pole position?" asked Paul, puzzled.

"Perhaps. Zhou Jingming smiled, "But Mr. President, don't you think that the rules of the qualifying race can be appropriately modified? There is only one car on the track at a time, which is not only inefficient, but also not very enjoyable for the audience." ”

"Mr. Zhou doesn't know, I also want to improve the system of qualifying, but there is no better plan, and if I change it rashly, it will disrupt the organization of the event. Paul said with a wry smile.

Only by making each race more enjoyable can we generate more commercial revenue, and Paul certainly wanted to change it, and he once mentioned changing the Formula Formula qualifying format at the FIA meeting, but there was no universally accepted format within the FIA, so the old format was always used.

"I have some ideas about the format of qualifying, and if Mr. Chairman doesn't mind, I can briefly talk about it. Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

"If Mr. Zhou has a good plan, I really want to hear it. Paul was also interested at once, and said quickly.

"The qualifying format I'm talking about is called a three-stage knockout format for the time being. Zhou Jingming smiled, and then explained to Paul in detail what he knew about the new qualifying competition system.

"In this knockout format, multiple cars are allowed to be present at the same time at a time, and the spectacle of the race naturally increases, although it is not as good as the main race, but it is still better than the current qualifying format. ”

After listening to Zhou Jingming's explanation, Paul's expression also became excited, "According to Mr. Zhou, not only does it solve the problem of allowing several cars to be present at the same time, but it also seems to be fairer than the previous competition system!"

"It's just my family opinion, and I don't know the details myself, if Mr. President thinks it's good, I can put it in the meeting for further discussion. ”

"After I came back from China once, I went to the conference to bring this proposal, and I am so grateful to Mr. Zhou, who did not expect that he would have so many insights into the format of qualifying. Paul said excitedly.

Zhou Jingming's words can be regarded as a great help to him.

In the interval between Zhou Jingming and Paul, Schumacher on the field had already started the car and drove the TM2000 on the track, and a minute passed quickly, and Schumacher also completed his first qualifying lap.

1:25.015!

It directly surpassed Hakkinen's 1:25.089 and temporarily ranked second!

When Schumacher's results were announced, the entire Albert Park instantly boiled, and no one expected that the players who had been criticized by the media in the past two days would usher in an explosion in today's qualifying round!

The first time I appeared, I let my time be infinitely close to 1 minute and 24 seconds!

"Did I hear me right? Schumacher actually surpassed Hakkinen?!"

"Could it be that Schumacher has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all the time ago?"

"It's so interesting, the next game is really exciting!"

"I'll just say, the results of a few practice matches are not enough for reference at all. ”

…………

Schumacher's result completely changed the audience's perception of him, and many people rekindled their expectations that Schumacher would take pole position.

"It's kind of interesting, but I didn't expect that I would be the last one now. Hakkinen looked at Schumacher in the pit lane and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

"Just a little bit faster, you can surpass Barrichello!" Schumacher quickly compared his results with Barrichello's, and the real counterattack has just begun!

Schumacher wants to give back all the ridicule and sarcasm he has endured these days!

"It's a pity, it's just a little bit close to overtaking that guy!" He Yingxun in the stands couldn't help but say.

"What's the hurry, there's a second chance to compete!" Xu Weidong on the side also said with burning eyes.

Even qualifying has become so much fun, so how exciting will tomorrow's points race be?

At this time, the competition on the field continued, and the competition for pole position became white-hot.

In the 30th minute, Hakkinen, who returned to the game, refreshed his first time, with a time of 1:24.888, snatching the first place from Barrichello!

But just three minutes later, Kuta, also a McLaren team, ran a time of 1:24.759, and the first place changed hands again!

In the 45th minute, Schumacher Jr. also ran a time of 1 minute and 24 seconds, temporarily ranking third with a time of 1:24.896, and Schumacher, who was ahead of him, became fourth.

In the 50th minute, Hakkinen once again exerted his power, and regained the first place with a time of 1:24.623!

…………

The race is ticking by, and with Hakkinen firmly in first place, Barrichello and the Schumacher brothers in third or fourth, there are many drivers at the bottom of the grid who have given up the chance to rerace, because they know that no matter how they rerace, the starting position for tomorrow's race will not change.

At this time, Barrichello had completed his fourth race, but still could not surpass Hakkinen's time of 1:24.623, and from the perspective of time, Barrichello basically missed the pole position this time.

With two minutes remaining, Schumacher came back for the last time he played, and if he couldn't get past Hakkinen this time, he would have to give up pole position to Hakkinen.

Can Schumacher succeed this time?
