Compared with the anger and dissatisfaction of other teams at the moment, the Pits of Prost Racing Team is strangely calm.

After all, they had already experienced it alone yesterday, and no matter how much trouble they made today, their mentality had calmed down a lot.

"Charlie, is the car okay?"

Cosell asked Charlie.

In fact, after the second practice yesterday, Zhang Yifei had no feedback on the deviation of the car, but he was still a little worried.

After all, under the calm on the surface of the crew members, in fact, everyone is holding their breath in their hearts, hoping that Zhang Yifei can use better results to fiercely fight back against the cold eyes and ridicule on the current track.

And the basis of the counterattack is the stability of the car!

"No problem, after reinforcing the screws and adjusting the weight of the car yesterday, this fault should be solved from the root."

Charlie replied that as long as the cause of such a glitch is found, it is not a problem for the F1 maintenance team at all.

"Hmm."

Korsell nodded, then looked at Zhang Yifei and said, "Are you ready today?" ”

"Ready."

Zhang Yifei responded while putting on his gloves.

Yamamoto Youkyo didn't tell Cowsell about the simulated track last night, not because Yamamoto Ukyo didn't want to say it, but because he was stopped by Zhang Yifei.

At present, Zhang Yifei is not clear about Cosell's attitude towards this kind of thing, and if he opposes it, it may be another nagging.

Anyway, everything has already been done, whether it is meaningful or meaningless, it can't change reality. If you are taught a lesson by Korcel because of this, it will be really a lesson for nothing, and it is better not to say it.

As for Alessi, he has never been a mouthy person, so naturally he will not be this eighth woman.

As the clock ticked to 10:30 a.m., the final practice session began. Now each team has basically tuned the cars according to the characteristics of the track, and the wear of the tires has also been data, and the final team pit stop strategy has been prepared.

Therefore, the main direction of the three exercises is to see how fast the drivers run!

Cars started from the pits, and when Montoya came out, the sound of refueling on the track was simply loud in the sky.

You must know that in the past, unless it was a driver's home track, there was only one person who could get this kind of treatment, and that was Schumacher. Whether it is Schumacher's own strength and results, or the fans of faith that Scuderia Ferrari has accumulated over the years, they are currently the largest number of F1 teams, so it is not surprising that they can resound on the track.

But the Indianapolis Circuit can only be said to be the home of the Indynapolis, not Montoya. In yesterday's practice match, Villeneuve's supporters clearly had an absolute numerical advantage, and Montoya could only come in second.

Today, the voices of support are several times higher than yesterday, and it looks like there must be 100,000 spectators on the track to become Montoya's supporters, which not only surpasses Schumacher, but also surpasses Villeneuve yesterday.

Authentic!

Zhang Yifei looked at the overwhelming Colombian flag, as well as the support banners of the Williams team and Montoya, and the first thought in his mind was this.

Montoya only needed two practice victories to multiply his supporters, beating the double champion Villeneuve.

But when Zhang Yifei's car went out of the pit lane, everything changed.

The American audience, who was still cheering before, instantly booed, and even many people posed in various mocking poses, which was really malicious......

To be honest, Zhang Yifei couldn't understand what Americans' brain circuits were thinking. As long as they believe that what they believe must be correct and just, even if it is a malicious act, they will do it with a clear conscience, and others must follow the thinking and philosophy of the United States.

Do you really think that the whole world is your mother? Everybody has to get used to you?

In the face of such ridicule, a sneer appeared on Zhang Yifei's face. That's all there is to Formula 1, even if you are hundreds of thousands of people booing and shouting, as long as the roar of the engine is heard, there is no other sound in your ears.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei feels that this characteristic is simply tailor-made for Chinese drivers, and it has helped him avoid many noise attacks.

The third practice started according to the normal procedure, and this time I could feel the speed of the cars on the track have increased significantly. Because the fastest lap of the third practice is often a mapping of the qualifying lap, and can even be estimated to the final ranking.

Drivers will also take advantage of this opportunity to run their fastest lap as quickly as possible, so that they can get a general idea of their position in qualifying. Be prepared in advance.

The cars began to splo, and the spectators in the stands began to become more frenzied with the roar of the engines.

"Come on Montoya, let the F1 drivers understand how strong the Indy Championship is."

"Villeneuve catches up, don't forget that you are a double champion!"

"Schumacher, you are the real king, are you really no one in F1?"

"Zhang Yifei, don't be affected by the outside world, no matter what your running results are, you have our support behind you!"

Zhang Yifei's voice of support is the weakest voice on the track at present, but they still shouted firmly, at least let Zhang Yifei understand that he is not fighting alone.

The track commentary center is still a full-time commentator Blundell, paired with an American race commentator Lewis.

Lewis is not actually a professional F1 commentator, his main business is to explain the Indy series. It's just that now the FIA and the American Automobile Association have almost openly fought for Formula Dominance.

So the U.S. side simply sent an IndyCar Series commentator over so that there would be no one-sided situation in the event commentary, and the IndyCar would be able to make a sound.

It's just that this kind of combination is very uncomfortable for Brendell, because the relationship between this partner with different positions often has a contradictory scene, so he really doesn't know whether to refute or acquiesce.

Fortunately, Blundell has a wealth of experience in commenting on the event, even if the other party is a little deliberately contrarian, he can still maintain the smoothness and peace of the commentary work, and he has done a very good job.

However, with the retirement of time, many of Lewis's remarks still made him feel a little unacceptable!

"The Chinese driver is so slow to fly, I really don't know how he won the F1 championship, is F1 at this level?"

"After three practices, it is still this kind of lap speed, and it is the tail of the crane when it is placed in the Indian program."

"How exactly Montoya lost to Fei before, I really think it's incredible!"

"Villeneuve and Montoya are still at the top of their lap times, that's what the Indy champions are capable of!"

Listening to the complaints of his partner next to him again and again, Blundell endured it before, he was just more optimistic about Fei, a Chinese newcomer, which did not mean that he was willing to argue or prove anything for Zhang Yifei.

But Lewis's many targeted remarks really made Blundell feel uncomfortable, which was not only to despise Fei, but also to despise F1 drivers!

"Fei is a newcomer to the track today, and it's normal to not adapt to the Indianapolis circuit at once. If I'm not mistaken, Montoya's lap times in the first few races of F1 were also not very good, and it seemed that the ranking was not as good as flying. ”

"But Montoya didn't fly so arrogantly as to dare to despise IndyCar."

"Does Fei really despise IndyCar? I also bought "Time Magazine", but I just think I am stronger, is it wrong to say this? ”

It's not that Blundell wants to defend Zhang Yifei, it's that the other party is too upside down, "Time Magazine" is there, you can't buy a copy and read it, but you have to believe the oil and vinegar of some American media.

As Blundell thought, Lewis didn't want to know what the truth was, he was just plain biased.

"Even if you put the contempt aside, isn't it a fact that you are running slowly in laps now?"

The third practice session was coming to an end, and Zhang Yifei's fastest lap was 1:15.033.

This lap time has improved by almost 0.2 seconds compared to the second practice, but it is not so conspicuous when the lap times of other drivers are generally improved. Zhang Yifei has only improved from the previous ranking of tenth to eighth, and the gap with Montoya or Villeneuve is still large, and he does not look very competitive.

Lewis's statement made Blundell a little irrefutable, the track is a place that pays attention to results, slow is slow, there is no excuse or reason!

Just when Blundell didn't know when to say, there was an exclamation on the track, because the top of the lap time ranking was replaced, and Schumacher, who had been lagging behind before, overtook Montoya with a time of 1:14.274 and became the fastest lap so far!

It doesn't matter if Zhang Yifei is slow, as long as the fastest driver on the track is from F1.

So Blundell was finally able to say angrily: "Lewis, the level of F1 is out, and Schumacher is still the strongest king." ”

This time it was Lewis' turn to say nothing, and he could mock any F1 driver on the track, but Schumacher was not among them. Because even the Indian Commentary knows how terrifying the strength of the strongest driver in F1 is, Montoya and Villeneuve are far from his opponents.

At the end of the third practice, Zhang Yifei's lap time was finally frozen on the edge of entering 1 minute and 14 seconds.

For this result, the crew members have no disappointment, because this is a good result for newcomers and Prost racing, and Zhang Yifei has been improving!

But Yamamoto Ukyo saw this lap time and muttered in his mouth: "It shouldn't be, why is Yifei-kun so much slower than last night's simulator lap time?" ”

"What's the simulator lap time of that flight?"

Henry, who was standing next to him, also asked casually.

"Lap record."

"What?"

The voice came from Cosell, who was standing nearby.

"To be clear, is it a track record or the fastest lap?"

"It was the fastest lap of 1:14.266 that Schumacher ran last year."

"What's the fastest speed you can fly?"

Cosell hurriedly asked.

"1:14.241."

When they heard this number, several people in the pit station looked at each other, because they all knew that the fastest lap of Zhang Yifei's running simulator was at most 0.1 or 0.2 seconds slower than running the track, and any track was no exception.

It's 0.8 seconds slower this time, definitely not a normal speed, what the hell happened last night?
