Zhang Yifei stood on the long straight road in front of Bosch Bend, and indeed saw that there were sunken pits on the road surface. But this is not a transverse depression caused by the topography, but a longitudinal strip of depression.

Because of the characteristics of the Austrian A1 track, if you want to pursue a better lap time, you must adjust the chassis to the lowest possible level in order to have faster speed and better cornering stability.

Therefore, on the track, I don't know that Zhang Yifei will wear out to the complete wooden block, and other drivers will also wear out if they brake sharply if they are fast, but the degree of wear will be different.

Just like the usual ruts on the road where cars often walk, this section of the road is the braking zone on the track, and most drivers will slow down with the first sudden brake when they walk here.

And this foot brake is very fierce, after all, 800 meters of long straight road to this section, the speed will generally reach about 350km/h, without relying on the emergency brake can not be in just a few tens of meters, the speed to reduce to 100km/h to corner.

The F1 track is generally asphalt pavement, just like the asphalt road on the main road, but the difference between impurities and fineness.

Asphalt does not have the hardness of cement, especially in F1 races, in order to ensure the working conditions of the cars and the safety of the drivers, the main races are basically spent in the summer, and the road temperature is relatively high.

The asphalt will soften under high temperatures, and when it suddenly encounters a high-speed scratch of the chassis wooden strip, there will naturally be some traces.

One car braked here, and the 22 cars had three practice sessions and one qualifying session, with a total lap time of at least 3,000 laps.

So on the track floor, there will be such a pit that sinks a few millimeters slightly. If the rider continues to choose to brake here, it will not wear out the wooden strips of the chassis.

To be honest, if it weren't for Alessi's inform, Zhang Yifei squatted here to look for it, and he really wouldn't have found this pit on the track that sank a few millimeters slightly. This is also the guidance that Korcel and Prost, who have been away from the track for several years, cannot provide.

After all, this kind of pit is not static, and the braking area will become slightly different as the layout of the track changes, and even the weather temperature changes. Perhaps only a veteran like Alessi, who has a career of more than 10 years, can see the subtle changes on the track.

The reason why Zhang Yifei didn't choose to brake here was because in order to pursue extreme speed, the braking point was a little later than this, which was an abnormal control line, and he just missed it.

It seems that in order to avoid wear and tear on the chassis of the racing car, Zhang Yifei should revise his routing strategy tonight, try to make use of the characteristics existing on the track, and complete the cornering without reducing the speed.

For example, after braking and decelerating sharply, immediately release the brake and empty throttle, or even consider accelerating with oil and then decelerating when entering a corner. In this way, because the speed has been reduced, the body attitude will not be deformed too much due to the brakes, which is a compromise solution.

After inspecting this depression, Zhang Yifei walked along the track and verified the other places that Alessi said.

Alessi's experience has proven to be effective, and if he follows his reminder to change the way the line is routed, the wear and tear on the ground can be in line with FIA restrictions, without having to think about post-race penalties or even the cancellation of points.

"Damn, NB!"

Zhang Yifei stood on the track and couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

He really didn't expect that Alessi would be able to sum up such an experience and solve a very contradictory point in his current situation.

This also reminded him that when he watched videos on the Internet in later generations, those top drivers could drive the Monaco circuit with their eyes closed.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei himself was shocked by this kind of maneuvering before he became an F1 driver. Even if he is now an F1 driver, driving a certain track with his eyes completely closed, it is still a bit impossible to do it, and it is a little less familiar.

The more you come to a higher level, in fact, there is not much difference between talent and control, and it is more about experience accumulation and flexibility.

Zhang Yifei did not train in the formula system from the small system, nor did he participate in the formula echelon event step by step, but directly "parachuted" to the F1 paddock. Some of Alessi's experience really makes up for his shortcomings, at least the Austrian A1 track, this time Zhang Yifei has absolute confidence to conquer!

The day passed quickly, and it was time for the Austrian Grand Prix.

Today's scene on the track is slightly different from yesterday's qualifying, that is, in the audience, there are many blue and white BMW flags, and even many people wearing uniform blue and white clothing to support the Williams team.

In many cases, F1 teams are not a single team, but a combination of chassis manufacturers and engine suppliers. For example, the official written name of the Williams team is actually the Williams/BMW team.

In particular, the codenamed "Sabertooth Tiger" car they developed this year is a boutique racing car cooperated by the two sides, and it has united fans and supporters of both sides.

The results of the Williams team in qualifying are not bad, but for the home field, what fans want to see is the championship, and this kind of result is obviously unacceptable without even entering the top three.

Therefore, in order to cheer for the Williams team, the team fan group and BMW's support club organized a large number of fans and fans to come to the A1 track this time, so a blue and white sea in the stands will be formed.

It's a bit like at an Italian circuit, where the stands are often a sea of red Ferraris. It's just that BMW's background in the racing industry is still much worse than Ferrari, and the fan cohesion and scale are also far from the same.

However, in a sea of blue and white, there are still a few red areas, which are not exactly Ferrari supporters, but a group of European overseas Chinese and students, who came to the A1 circuit.

Because the news that Zhang Yifei got the pole position has been spread around the world through the media on the same day. After all, this is the first pole position for Chinese, and even the first pole position for Asian drivers, representing the breakthrough of the yellow race in the world's top motorsports!

After getting the news, all the overseas Chinese and international students in Europe rushed to the A1 circuit in Austria overnight. If nothing else, just to let Zhang Yifei see a piece of Chinese red on the track, let him understand that he is not fighting alone.

Even if it is an enemy of the world, there must be the support of compatriots and the motherland behind it!

In fact, among these people, they are really not all compatriots, and many white foreigners have also joined the camp of supporting Zhang Yifei.

After all, Europe can be regarded as the "base camp" of Zhang Yifei's formula, starting from Formula Renault, his radical and violent opening has a group of fans who are impressed by Chinese drivers.

After one game after another, it slowly accumulated until yesterday when I got the pole position, and there was an explosive increase in the number of people. It may still be incomparable with those local drivers in Europe, after all, in this era, many Europeans still have an inexplicable sense of superiority, and it is impossible to conquer them in a pole position.

But at least there are still supporters on the track, if the pole position is not enough, then use the championship to smash, and if the sub-station championship is not enough, then use the world championship to smash!

In competitive sports, performance is everything, and one day you can win worship with your strength like Pacquiao, Liu Xiang, or Yao Ming!

"Who do you think today's winner will be? Is it possible to fly to pole position? ”

"I don't think it's very likely, the main race is far more complicated than the practice match, and the competition is not enough."

"Then who do you think will win the championship, Schumacher?"

"Of course, Schumacher is the best driver, Ferrari is invincible!"

"Fart, I'm rooting for Williams, Montoya will win another championship title!"

"McLaren will never give in, Ferrari will eventually be defeated by the Iceman, remember what I said!"

"The Flyer won the championship, it's something that belongs to him."

"Come on Zhang Yifei, we will always support you!"

Before the game started, the debate over the ownership of the championship was already noisy.

Because of this qualifying match, the top ten time points are very tight, and no one can take an absolute lead, making the game lose suspense.

Even if it is Montoya, who is behind in fourth place, the gap between him and Zhang Yifei is the difference of thousands of milliseconds. Maybe a casual adventure on the track, or a random mistake, can smooth the gap.

In the more than 70 laps of the race, nearly two hours of race, no one can do it well. It's nothing more than who makes fewer mistakes and has a more stable speed, and at this point, the veteran still has a big advantage, and anyone can become the final champion.

Not only the crowd was lively, but even the stadium media was more than in previous years, after all, Zhang Yifei's pole position once again broke the historical record of F1. No matter what the gold content of the pole position is, this kind of historical news still needs to be reported.

Media reporters are waiting for Zhang Yifei's appearance, and will be the first to interview his views on pole position and his goals for the race.

The Chinese kid has always been arrogant and arrogant, and now that he has won the pole position, he will probably have to jump into the sky, and wait to see if he will have any surprising words. Especially some reporters with dark psychology are still waiting for Zhang Yifei to lose, so that they can slap their faces after the game.

Just as everyone was expecting, a group of riders walked from the aisle to the waiting assembly area. This time, Zhang Yifei is no longer the Chinese kid who was isolated to the side, but walked in the middle of the crowd.

In the F1 paddock where the strong are respected, Zhang Yifei has won the recognition and respect of other drivers with his pole position, this is no longer a rookie from China, but a strong opponent!
