509 Still Going Strong (Chapter 3)
Prost team P room, Korsell also put the so-called safety issues behind, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a duel between three newcomers, who wins, who will occupy a great psychological advantage in the next event.
Theoretically, Zhang Yifei is currently the worst one in the hole, but Kossel believes that Zhang Yifei will definitely not fall behind!
This is Zhang Yifei's first appearance on the track, and it is time to prove to the world with the fastest lap time that the Chinese kid who created miracles is back!
"Bazel, the scene I was expecting before the game really came, and the Chinese kid will never be resigned to the ordinary. As long as he is on the F1 track, he will always make himself more dazzling! ”
Blundell was very happy, and before the game, he was also worried that the major accident and more than three months of recuperation would directly interrupt Zhang Yifei's ascent process.
Let this year's most dazzling Chinese newcomer slump from then on, like a meteor in the sky, and finally disappear from everyone.
But the pre-match interview made Blundell see that Zhang Yifei is still strong, and he is still the Chinese "madman" who is not afraid of any opponent!
It's just that such a thing as a mouth cannon is two different things from saying and doing, and it has not experienced the actual combat test of the track, and it is still a little bit worse after all.
This scene on the track now is undoubtedly Zhang Yifei's silent response, even if it is three months away from the track, I Zhang Yifei still has the ability to become the most dazzling newcomer in this year's new season!
Bazel is an Austrian commentator, just like the previous commentary.
Compared to Gonzalez at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Bazel's stance is obviously much more neutral, he does not favor any one driver, and simply looks at performance and strength.
However, there is no absolute fairness in people's hearts after all, Bazel is a fan of Williams and BMW, and he loves the house and Wu, so he is naturally more inclined to Montoya, hoping that the Williams team can win this sub-championship at BMW's home stadium.
But his inner inclination has not completely affected his judgment of Zhang Yifei's strength. Indeed, for a newcomer who has been out of the track for more than three months after being injured, Zhang Yifei's performance is now outstanding!
"Yes, the flight after the pit stop adjustment is obviously impacting my fastest lap. And after experiencing so many changes, Fei can still score 1 minute and 10 seconds in the first practice race, which is indeed excellent, and he is worthy of being the strongest newcomer that many people thought before! ”
However, we can also see that after being stimulated by Zhang Yifei, Montoya also frantically improved her lap time, and even ranked at the top of the list. In addition, McLaren's Kimi is also very close to Fei's lap time, and these three drivers have performed very well. ”
Bazel praised everyone once, and no one was offended. What he said is not unreasonable, and the performance of the three people on the track is indeed very good, and it can even be said that it has surpassed the average passing line of previous sub-races.
You can feel that these three are competing, and they all want to prove that they are the best driver!
"Well, Montoya's lap time is really fast, and this is the home track of the Williams team, so it seems to have a certain bonus. I was surprised by Kimi's performance, I had the impression that he had always been a relatively low-key and introverted driver, but I didn't expect to be involved in the competition this time. ”
"When there are too many doubts, you have to come up with something to respond."
Bazel replied with emotion that Kimi Raikkonen was a driver he was very optimistic about last year. Especially after scoring points on his debut, Bazel once thought that Kimi Raikkonen could become the next talented driver - Villeneuve!
also entered the F1 paddock with a halo, and scored points on his debut, but Villeneuve became the champion of the fourth race that year, and the second in the overall standings in his rookie season, almost becoming a world champion.
And the following year, Villeneuve was equally strong, holding Schumacher down and winning the world championship title. Even if it becomes "fishing" now, it is still a driver who has stood at the top.
In comparison, Kimi Raikkonen is more like a flash in the pan, two years have almost passed, and the impression he left on the public is not how amazing the results are, but all kinds of failures on the track, and the completion rate is not even 40%, I don't know how he drove!
Fortunately last year, there were no newcomer competitors other than him, so there was no comparison for the dishes. But this year's newcomers are getting more and more eye-catching, Zhang Yifei and Montoya have the potential to become super newcomers, which makes Kimi Raikkonen even more bleak.
Bazel felt sorry for Kimi, but more people directly ridiculed him, even if Kimi was the kind of low-key and forbearant character, he couldn't afford the crime that Qianfu pointed out after all.
But then again, the criticism that this Chinese kid suffered at the beginning was far more intense than the current doubts and accusations about Kimi's strength. I don't know how Zhang Yifei carried it, he still looks arrogant with confidence, and the Chinese newcomer really has a big heart!
Zhang Yifei on the track, after talking to Cosell, knew that Montoya's lap speed was 0.173 seconds ahead of him.
This gap is not huge, put on the 4.326 km A1 track, you may shake the steering wheel casually, and the gap is more than 0.173 seconds.
I have to say that Montoya, who has a very solid foundation, has indeed improved his strength after more than a dozen F1 races, and has the capital to be promoted to the top driver of the current F1 track.
In addition, the Austrian A1 circuit, as the home of the Williams-BMW team, the team file data, for the A1 track can be described as a very familiar melon, Montoya can get the best cable scheme, and can also play the strongest power of the BMW engine.
Historically, Montoya was second on the grid in qualifying at the A1 circuit in Austria behind Ferrari's Schumacher. Later, he used the starting line to surpass Schumacher, which is enough to see that this track is his good track.
It is the combination of these two factors that causes Zhang Yifei to feel that he is playing with his life, but he is still behind Montoya, only in second place.
The second fastest lap time, if it was placed in the previous practice races, Zhang Yifei might have accepted it happily, and he would be happy to feel that he ran well.
But this time, Zhang Yifei only has the first in his eyes, he wants to use the fastest lap time to tell the world, I, Zhang Yifei, are back!
The accelerator pedal was pressed to the end, and the speed of the car began to soar wildly, and the downhill section even reached an astonishing speed of 360km/h.
This speed is already the fastest speed limit since Zhang Yifei entered the F1 paddock. At the moment of facing Bosch's right-angle bend, it was a foot of brake that slammed to the end, even if it was the lowest suspension adjustment, Zhang Yifei could feel the inertia bringing about the "head pressing" action.
At the same time, there was also a "zi" sound from the chassis of the car, which was due to the fact that the speed was too fast and the change in slope had ground the wooden blocks under the car.
Although Korsell has repeatedly reminded him to pay attention to the wear and tear of the chassis, when he is really playing with the sprint lap, he really doesn't care about the problem of supporting the bottom.
Zhang Yifei now has only one thought in his mind, and that is to surpass Montoya's lap time and become the first in the practice race!
"Mentor, the wear of Yifeijun's chassis is a bit serious, and the temperature of the brake disc is too high, so it will be risky to go on like this."
Yamamoto Ukyo's main job is to observe the data of the car, and at present, Zhang Yifei's driving method is a bit too intense, and the risk coefficient is simply multiplied.
It's just a practice match, is it worth it?
"What is the risk, this is only 1 minute 09 seconds, and after 1 minute 08 seconds, come and talk to me about the risk!"
Korcel didn't care about the risk at all, the latest lap time Montoya was, Zhang Yifei had arrived. The lap speed difference between the two people is very small, as long as Zhang Yifei can stabilize this lap, then he will surpass Montoya and be nine out of ten.
The first ninety-nine steps have been taken, and Kossel will never give up the last step!
Korsell locked his eyes on Zhang Yifei's car, in fact, not only him, but almost everyone on the track set their eyes on the big screen of the track.
Zhang Yifei's line was significantly more extreme on this lap, and if nothing else, he would once again set his own fastest lap. Considering the almost negligible gap between him and Montoya, after this lap, it is not surprising that Zhang Yifei will come to the top of the fastest lap list.
When Zhang Yifei's car crossed the starting line, many spectators in the stands subconsciously stood up, and immediately on the big screen of the track, it will refresh the fastest lap at present.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the big screen suddenly flashed a few times, and the string of letters Montoya-Williams at the top of the ranking jumped to the second row, replaced by Fei-Prost, with a lap time!
"Damn, is the man back?"
"FUCK, this can really run the fastest lap, and you can't stop the driver from flying after three months of rest?"
"This is only the first practice session, according to this posture, is flying to break the A1 track record?"
"It's impossible, I feel that veterans such as Schumacher and Coulthard didn't make a move, and they specially let a few newcomers face off, otherwise it wouldn't be this ranking."
'There's no doubt that Schumacher didn't give it their all, but they flew a little too fast, right, was it really the first race back on the track? How the hell did he keep himself in shape? ”
"I heard from the F1 staff that in addition to the mouth cannon, flying can be regarded as the hardest working among F1 drivers, almost all of his energy is focused on training, and he can achieve good results, which can be regarded as a reward for hard work."
"It seems that yes, I've never heard of any entertainment and hobbies in Fei, he's really a pure driver!"
Not only the spectators and fans were amazed, but even in the pit area, the team bosses were a little stunned when they saw the latest lap times.
Even if the Chinese kid hasn't become weaker, how can he feel stronger?
