Alonso's test was followed by two more rounds of testing in the afternoon, with all 22 active drivers running one round on the track.

The fastest lap holder is still Zhang Yifei from the Prost team, the speed of 1:21.997 is too exaggerated, and no one has ever tested the test record in the history of the Catalan circuit, and can run into the field of 1 minute and 21 seconds.

Unless you don't want to give feedback about the car at all, and go straight to the super soft tyres and light fuel to fight for lap time, it's a bit unbelievable to drive a new car that has just been developed, and the first contact can be called a track record.

The problem is that giving up the first test during the winter test to go for lap times is a foolish thing that no driver with a modicum of intelligence would do. Based on Zhang Yifei's performance and achievements last year, I really can't see what looks like a mentally retarded person.

However, the exaggeration of the fast still can't stop some teams from wondering if this Chinese kid is a man of vanity and deliberately running the fastest lap in the first test to create some amazing effects?

But this question was quickly denied by the test results of the next few days, Zhang Yifei's lap time was still steadily improving, and Schumacher and Helio began to compete frantically for the fastest lap ranking.

The track record of 1:21.892 was broken the next day, and this once unattainable record was trampled madly over the next few days.

1:21.733......

1:21.506......

1:21.339......

The numbers continued to sprint in the direction of the fastest lap of 1:21.032 on the track, and all the crew members and reporters were waiting to see who would set a new record at the Catalan circuit.

When the winter test came to the last day, all the adjustments of the cars were perfected, and the frequency of pit departures was extremely intensive, and many times on the basic track, 22 cars were full, just like the official race.

Zhang Yifei's fastest lap at the moment has come to 1:21.317, and he is currently ranked third on the track.

In front of him was Scuderia Ferrari's Schumacher, who had a lap time of 1:21.055.

This F2002 is tailor-made for Schumacher, and the more it comes to the back of the test, the more it can highlight the advantages of performance and driver matching. And now Schumacher has also taken out his game state to test, and he can no longer tolerate being trampled under the feet of one junior newcomer after another!

In second place was Helio from the Renault team. To be honest, this result was something Zhang Yifei didn't expect before, he didn't think he could be surpassed, but the only driver who could surpass himself could be Barrichello, Coulthard and Schumacher Jr.

These three people have both strength and racing performance, and they are currently in the five-five stage, who can run faster to see the state and desire to win.

But in fact, the results were far from what Zhang Yifei had imagined, and the three drivers did not perform well in the winter test, and even fell to the middle of the stream. Today's new Ferrari car, all the stats are tailored to Schumacher, and it's clear that Barrichello didn't adapt well and didn't play the absolute performance of the F2002.

In the 02 season in history, Barrichello relied on the advantage of the F2002 Mars rover to indeed win the runner-up title, and dominated the top two with Schumacher. But in fact, Schumacher has 144 points, while Barrichello has only 77 points, which can be said to be crushed exponentially.

Theoretically, the gap should not be so big, it can only be said that this "rover" is indeed strong, but it is a bit of a mismatch with Barrichello.

McLaren's Coulthard, who lost the final title battle last year, may have hurt his heart a little, or it may have been squeezed out of his life's work to fight Schumacher at the peak, and now he is a little wilted.

Anyway, Coulthard's performance in this year's winter test was very average, and he was even suppressed by the team's No. 2 driver Kimi Raikkonen.

As for Schumacher Jr., now with Williams racing, he is really strong. It's just that this person is still the same problem, the gap between the upper limit and the lower limit is huge, when he is strong, he can stand on the championship podium, and when he is weak, anyone can fight with him.

In addition to these three people, at most, Montoya is half of it, Helio is not Zhang Yifei who looks down on him, and the Indy newcomer, even if he is a champion, does not deserve to be ahead of him so quickly.

The reality can be said to have given Zhang Yifei a slap in the face, and Helio really relied on a lap time of 1:21.312 to lead Zhang Yifei to the limit, maintaining the second fastest speed in the current winter test.

As a result, Zhang Yifei was a little underestimated, and he always thought that a driver like Helio would eventually die of his arrogance. But in fact, the essence of Helio is not the blind arrogance that Zhang Yifei imagined, and he is completely unpopular.

Zhang Yifei is even more imaginative, since the end of the United States Grand Prix, and even throughout the winter break, this guy is frantically looking for opportunities to practice driving in F1 cars to improve his strength.

Helio is a super-talented driver, but at the same time he has an unimaginable effort, which is what makes him an amazing lap time on the winter track!

On the other hand, as the winter test came to the last day, it basically began to squeeze the extreme performance of the new car, and the AP05 car was not as strong as expected.

As I said before, the strength of a car is not entirely determined by the engine of the race. Just like the same Mercedes-Benz engine in later generations, Mercedes can dominate the track, and Hamilton is invincible.

And the Williams team had all kinds of problems, and they were directly at the bottom of the whole season.

During the development of the AP05 racing car, there were problems such as insufficient funds and insufficient engineers. Even Zhang Yifei joined hands with Huali Group to bring a group of technicians from China to alleviate the shortage of manpower.

At least the weaknesses of the chassis are exposed in this squeezing limit, and the AP05 racing car is naturally much stronger than last year's JS53, but it has not reached the "Mars rover" level imagined by Zhang Yifei.

Previously, Zhang Yifei's most optimistic assumption was to rank second fastest on the track after Ferrari. But as things stand, the Ferrari F2002 is far ahead, and in Schumacher's hands it is the absolute "Mars rover" class.

The speed of the second piece may be on the Renault car, which is not to see how fast Helio runs, but Barton actually ran the sixth fastest lap, and even led Alonso by one place, beating Kimi Raikkonen and Massa who broke out this year.

Patton's style is a "steady" word, and if the car is not performing well, at his current level, he will not be able to run such a fast lap time. Therefore, Zhang Yifei may have to overturn his previous assumptions, and there will be a possibility of a second "Mars rover" in the new season.

After running the planned lap time, Zhang Yifei returned to the pits, and Caser and Yamamoto Ukyo stood next to the car. Recording the feedback of Zhang Yifei and design director Leo, these data will be used in future car tuning to better adapt to the driver's handling style.

"Yifei-kun, are you still running?"

Seeing that Zhang Yifei and Leo had finished their feedback, Yamamoto Youkyo opened his mouth and asked.

"How much time is it?"

"15:53 p.m."

Hearing this point in time, Zhang Yifei thought for a while, then shook his head and replied: "Don't run, let's get ready to finish." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yifei stepped off the car and prepared to go to the lounge to change clothes and end the seven-day winter test.

Because the final end time of the winter test is half past four in the afternoon, and there is still about half an hour, Zhang Yifei does not need to refuel and change tires to run a lap. In fact, many drivers finished their winter testing early in the afternoon, and the team was ready to return to headquarters for the Singapore Grand Prix.

"Fly, the results of the winter test are very good, and we can hit the world championship this year!"

Prost came forward to congratulate Zhang Yifei on his winter test results, ranking third fastest in 1:21.317, which has created the history of the Prost team.

As the owner of the team, Prost has never thought about competing for the first place in the winter test goal, and now he is very satisfied with this result. Together with Alonso, who finished seventh on the track, he is fully qualified to challenge the Big Three and even challenge for the world championship!

Zhang Yifei just smiled at Prost's praise, to be honest, he was not very satisfied in his heart.

The speed of 1:21.317 is fast enough, but there is still a certain gap with Schumacher, who had previously wanted to break the fastest lap of 1:21.032.

And there is another thing that makes him unhappy, that is, Helio is actually faster than himself, Zhang Yifei is not a competitive person outside of the official competition, he can accept that others are better than himself, and even learn humbly.

But Helio is an American, Zhang Yifei just looks at him unhappy!

But after all, it was just a winter test, and Zhang Yifei didn't treat it as a race on the track, and after seven days, Helio was also honest, and he didn't take the initiative to provoke as expected, just focused on running his fastest lap.

So Zhang Yifei didn't plan to look for trouble, accepted this unsatisfactory result, and waited for the Singapore Grand Prix to compete again.

Just as Zhang Yifei was about to walk into the pit to change clothes, a roaring F1 engine sound came from far and near. None of the crew members reacted to this sound, after all, they had to go through at least dozens of times a day in the maintenance channel.

It's like standing on the side of the road and hearing the sound of cars passing by, which is not a novelty.

But this time, the engine roar is getting closer and closer, and it is directly towards the Prost parking space. But the problem is that Alonso has already made a pit stop first, and even the car has been pushed into the garage to make room for Zhang Yifei's pit stop, and Prost has no third car to pit stop!

When the crew members reacted, a roaring black and yellow racing car was inserted directly into the vacant space of Prost's parking space, and even scraped the trouser leg of a maintenance technician on the front nose wing, and then stopped in front of Zhang Yifei with one foot on the brake side.

This maneuver not only shows the driver's extremely accurate control of distance, but also represents the judgment of the speed of the car, otherwise the nose wing will hit the wall of the pit.

There is only one team in the F1 paddock to do this, and that is the Renault team, known as the "Yellow Lightning". There is only one person in the Renault team who can do such a crazy and provocative act, and that is Helio.

After all, he couldn't hide from what should have come, and just when Zhang Yifei thought that the American kid was normal, he once again showed his true nature.

In the face of Helio's move, the anger of the entire Prost crew soared, and even a few temperamental technicians were ready to pull Helio off the car and beat him up.

But on Zhang Yifei's face, a strange smile appeared, which made people feel a little chilled.

Love to play, don't you? I'll have fun with you next!
