According to the rules of the Ao Island Grand Prix, after a 30-minute practice session, all drivers pit to change their tyres and refill their fluid.

Immediately after that, the 30-minute countdown to the qualifying elimination round began, and the local island called the qualifying round the selection competition.

The starting order of qualifying is the order in which the drivers come out. As for the start time of the qualifying session, it starts from the moment the practice session ends.

So the time spent in the pits will determine the number of laps you run in qualifying, and more than 2 minutes and 10 seconds is basically the equivalent of one less lap. Because the fastest lap of the current Grandprix-F3 race is 2:10.732.

This rule is quite unfavorable to Zhang Yifei, because he does not have complete professional team technical support, and Ah Hu and Brother Zhi are two people after the technician. Even if Ukyo Yamamoto and Kossel are included, the four of them are far from meeting the number of mechanics required for a formula car to make a pit stop.

Although Zhang Yifei was ready to run one less lap in his heart, he didn't feel that running one lap less would have any impact on his performance.

However, in order to reduce this unnecessary time consumption, Zhang Yifei did not want to waste qualifying time in the pit, so he said hello before entering the pit.

From a distance, Zhang Yifei saw that at the door of his pit stop, Korsell was standing at the front of the car with a jack, which is also the most dangerous position in the normal F1 team technician division of labor.

Because if a driver makes a pit stop mistake, the first person to bear the brunt is the person standing in front of the car with a jack. In the history of F1, there have been countless accidents that knocked over their own technicians, and more than half of them were "lollipop" people who knocked over the jack and the sign in front of it.

As a race engineer, Kossel stood in front of the car, representing his performance towards Zhang Yifei. In the same way, he came to prop up the front jack, which can also free up a "labor force", after all, changing tires and fluids, which requires a lot of hand speed, is still not suitable for an old German man like Koser.

Zhang Yifei drove the car into the pit and parked the car in the brake line very accurately, and Korsell immediately stuck the jack into the front part of the car and propped up the car.

Then Ah Hu and Brother Zhi cooperated to change tires and adjust the inquiry as quickly as possible, and there was another Yamamoto Ukyo, who adjusted the aerodynamic kit of the car.

It can be said that although Zhang Yifei's team has only four people, the division of labor is clear and sufficient preparations. The time it took was far less recent than Zhang Yifei had thought, and it only took more than 30 seconds for Caser to put down the front jack.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared out of the pit, as long as it drove out of the maintenance channel, it was time for Zhang Yifei to start showing all his strength and challenge the fastest lap!

Watching Zhang Yifei's car drive out, just the thirty seconds of action just now had already caused beads of sweat on the foreheads of several Ah Hu.

Because in a sense, it can be regarded as a member of Zhang Yifei's team to experience the tension of a pit stop tire change in an F1 event in advance. The dual requirements of time and speed squeeze the potential of the team members, and it is also necessary to ensure absolute accuracy, and there can be no mistakes.

Even Cosell, who is experienced on the Formula 1 circuit, feels a bit of pressure, after all, he has been away from such tense pit stops for nearly a decade, let alone experienced the position of the front jack.

Today, he finally felt the tension of F1 that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Zhang Yifei on the track also began to burst out with all his strength at this time, using his own speed to challenge the limits of the Guia Circuit.

In fact, if you calculate it seriously, Zhang Yifei's time on the Guia Track is not short, and the two familiarization sessions with Xie Tiancheng on the track add up to more than three hours.

If you count the practice race just now, Zhang Yifei ran for more than four hours on the Guia Circuit. You must know that he had those test runs in the previous Renault races, and he could only run for an hour when he made a tight appointment.

But the problem is that he couldn't run for four hours, because the car was different, and no matter how much he tried to simulate the GT car, he still couldn't run the speed and feel of the formula car.

As far as the track record is concerned, the record of the Guia GT race is 2 minutes and 2 seconds 732 seconds for the fastest lap, which is a lap time difference of more than 20 seconds, and it can be said that the speed is not at the same level at all.

The practice race also has to take into account the tuning of the racing data, Zhang Yifei also did not use his full strength, it can be said that he has been in a state of suppressing himself.

Now Zhang Yifei can finally show his speed, only to see him speeding up frantically, using an amazing corner tangent line to catch up with the opponent who came out of the pit earlier time.

Even though this is not a race and there is no need to overtake other drivers to improve his ranking, Zhang Yifei still chose to launch a fierce attack on the riders in front of him.

Just on the first lap of qualifying, Zhang Yifei caught up with three slower F3 drivers. This kind of efficiency and speed is absolutely amazing, even in the history of the Island Grand Prix, it is rare to see such a ferocious overtaking.

Today's event commentary is no longer Renault's event commentator Red, but Li Xin, a full-time racing commentator from Aodao TV.

"Sharp! Zhang Yifei's speed is too fast, and the overtaking is very precise and decisive. Even we can see that the opponent didn't even have time to defend the line, and was directly surpassed by Zhang Yifei. ”

"During the previous practice matches, including me, I guess many people had some doubts about Zhang Yifei's performance, which is not at all like the style he showed in the European Renault event."

"But now Zhang Yifei has responded to the previous doubts with his crazy overtaking, which is just restraint in the practice match, not his own lack of strength!"

Li Xin's tone was very excited, after all, this is the first Chinese driver to participate in the Grand Prix F3 event, and there is really no way to avoid subjective bias.

Indeed, Zhang Yifei was like bottoming out, and he broke out all of a sudden, and the "rookie" performance of being surpassed by others in the previous practice match was simply like two people, this is the strength that Renault's strongest driver should have!

However, Li Xin quickly adjusted his emotions and continued to explain in a tone as objective as possible: "Zhang Yifei overtook very beautifully, but the three drivers who were overtaken were actually rookie drivers who participated in the Grand Prix this year. ”

To put it bluntly, Zhang Yifei quickly surpassed a few rookies who ran the Grand Prix for the first time. But the problem is that many people forget that Zhang Yifei is actually a rookie driver who is running a Grand Prix F3 for the first time.

It's just that Zhang Yifei's F1 driver's aura is too dazzling, and many times people ignore the reality that he is still a rookie driver.

", this is Zhang Yifei's real strength, it's so easy to surpass his opponent!"

"Just kidding, you think F1 drivers are joking?"

"It's not buddy, that's not what you just said, shouldn't he be a Renault driver?"

In the face of such a rhetorical question, the previous kind of audience could only bite the bullet and say serious nonsense: "I'm talking about the Renault team!" You don't know, Renault has formed its own F1 team, so Renault drivers, is what F1 drivers mean. ”

"I don't read much, don't lie to me, Zhang Yifei is not from the Prost team, how did he become the Renault team?"

"Why do you have so many problems, watch the game well!"

After all, Zhang Yifei has never shown his strength in China before, and all fans and supporters rely on reports and speculation to infer Zhang Yifei's racing strength.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Yifei's performance is not outstanding, it is considered normal to be a dish, after all, for ordinary people, what they see with their eyes is the most real.

As a result, the qualifying match immediately seemed to be a different person, which led to many people being "slapped in the face".

However, for most viewers, they want to be "slapped in the face" like this, because there is only one formula driver in China, who challenges the whole world alone. Compared with all kinds of small things in the face, they are more willing to see Chinese drivers standing on top of the world!

Zhang Yifei on the track was expressionless at the moment, engrossed in the game.

If he could hear what Li Xin explained, he would also agree. Because of this Australian Island F3 Competition, there are as many as 32 drivers participating, not every F3 driver can have top strength, and the mediocre and rookie will always occupy the majority.

He can surpass so easily, in addition to his own perfect control, it is that the opponent has really eaten it. You must know that Zhang Yifei does not have the support of the team, plus the temporary car adjustment, it will take more than 30 seconds.

These guys are all supported by the team, just change tires in close combat, and I don't know what the ink is, but the departure time is comparable to my own.

For a formula driver, it's all about racing against the clock, and the time must be accurate to the millisecond. These drivers may have been so lazy because they wanted to get the fastest lap in qualifying, and a few seconds faster or a few seconds slower from the pit stop didn't matter.

So Zhang Yifei used his own strength to teach them a lesson, what is a real racing car!

Transcendence is just the beginning, Zhang Yifei's speed is getting faster and faster, but it's a pity that Sato Takuma These track seeded players are far ahead of Zhang Yifei in terms of departure time, even as much as 30 seconds.

If you want to catch up with them, it is impossible to have a peak duel in advance, and Zhang Yifei can only aim to run the fastest lap. Not to mention anything else, how could Zhang Yifei let go of such a thing as pole position?

Inside the pits, Korsell looked at the fastest lap time on the screen, which was constantly refreshed, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth never broke.

Today's performance of Zhang Yifei can be regarded as a surprise for Kossel. He didn't expect that Zhang Yifei could really adapt to the new F3 event so quickly, if this is Zhang Yifei's adaptability, then even if it is a "triple jump", he can face the challenge of the F1 paddock.

"Mentor, Yifeijun, his pole position should be stable."

"Well, I don't think other drivers can do it faster than flying!"

Kossel directly gave a positive reply, and this time he couldn't find anything wrong with Zhang Yifei.
