Hearing Charlie's explanation, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi's expressions were very surprised, after all, the two of them were "dirt buns" before, and they couldn't even figure out how to go to Asian countries, let alone distant Australia.

If Zhang Yifei heard Charlie's words, he would definitely show his agreement, and he naturally knew Australia's inexplicable hostility towards China, so it is not surprising that there is such a performance in the audience today.

However, these boos and inverted colors are not worth mentioning at all for Zhang Yifei, and even a slight psychological fluctuation cannot be triggered. After all, when he was a pure rookie, he withstood the accusations of "public enemies of the track", and today this can only be regarded as a small scene.

In the first test lap, Zhang Yifei did not pursue speed, but deliberately slowed down his speed to feel the car's adaptation to the track.

Zhang Yifei finished the technical lap in 2:43.21, which was almost twice the lap time of the normal track. Compared to the test lap times of other drivers in the early 2 minutes and 10 seconds, Zhang Yifei is still much slower.

When Zhang Yifei's lap time appeared, even though many people in the stands understood that this was just a test lap time, they still said mockingly: "Is the Chinese rookie driving a classic car on the track, this is the slowest lap time of the Albert Park circuit, right?" ”

"I just said that the Chinese can't do it, and the meeting is still delusional to challenge all the drivers?"

"Fortunately, there is no way to take doping in the car, otherwise this guy must have to eat by the bottle, otherwise the lap speed will not be fast, haha!"

All kinds of yin and yang weird sounds came from the stands, which made the Chinese audience sitting on the side feel very puzzled, how do they feel that these Australians are targeting Zhang Yifei?

They didn't understand why, but it didn't stop them from feeling angry.

"Nima's fart, what the hell are you talking about!"

A Northeast gentleman finally couldn't help but fight back, isn't it normal to run slowly in the test circle, what are you yelling about?

"Hold your mother! The stimulants are all out, are you all Suo Hi (Sha Pen)? ”

"What's special, it's estimated that when I see that our China is about to have a top driver, my heart is sour!"

"That's right, even I know the testing circle, can they not understand?"

In the end, the domestic audience member spoke out to everyone, knowing that China is not going to talk about F1 racing at the moment, and even the TV broadcast has not yet started. Even 20 years later, broadcasters will basically not broadcast any practice matches except for online platforms, so it is difficult for ordinary people to know that practice matches are also divided into test laps and time trial laps.

Now even the Chinese audience is not excited by the lap time, these ghosts are clearly doing things!

However, scolding in English here, Chinese or even dialect there, is almost the same as a chicken and a duck, purely noisy.

Zhang Yifei on the track was not affected by these off-field factors at all, and there was no way to be affected by these off-field factors, because the noise of the engine was no less than the engine sound of a jet when it was running at full speed.

In the early years, when wireless communication was not developed, teams wanted to communicate with the drivers, and they had to wait until the drivers entered the pit stop, just like the telephone line of the landline, and plugged a call line into the interface of the helmet.

In this way, the impact of engine noise on the transmission of team instructions is avoided as much as possible, otherwise it is a waste of time to take off the helmet or something after the pit stop. So any hustle and bustle on the sidelines is silent for drivers who are driving, and it is hell to hear it.

However, the Albert Park Circuit also has the advantage of being very close to the track, so the feeling of presence is particularly strong. In addition, outside the protective wall, a circular perimeter route has been built, so that spectators can walk to different observation points and feel the shock of different sections, which is also beyond the reach of other tracks.

So when he was closest to the audience, as long as Zhang Yifei looked at the protective railing, he could see some body movements of the audience.

The speed of the test lap was relatively slow, which really made Zhang Yifei see some spectators and gesture his middle finger towards him. This scene made Zhang Yifei also feel a little muttered, he didn't seem to have done anything angry recently, and Mao reproduced the scene of Monza and Hockenheim Circuit back then?

"Kosel, are there a lot of spectators on the track today who are dissatisfied with me?"

Zhang Yifei asked Korcel in the voice of the team, but his question made the person wearing headphones in the pit station have a somewhat complicated expression on his face and a little embarrassed at the same time.

It seems that there is no driver who doesn't give feedback on the car in the test lap, but talks about the sidelines news.

In the end, this should praise the big heart of the Chinese kid, and he was still in the mood to pay attention to the movements of the spectators outside the stadium in the first practice match. Or should Zhang Yifei be criticized, and should he focus more on the current track feedback?

"Yifei-kun will always give you something unexpected in a tense moment."

Junko Takeda muttered to Ukyo Yamamoto next to him at this time, now neither of them has the right to a fairy tale on the track, but they can still hear the team's voice exchange.

"This is very good, at least it means that Yifeijun has not been affected by off-the-field factors."

Yamamoto Youkyo replied with a rare smile, compared with Zhang Yifei's "two ears don't hear what is going on outside the window", some of the remarks in the audience stands today, Yamamoto Youkyo who is standing outside the paddock has heard a lot.

This kind of scene has not appeared on the track for a long time, and today is Zhang Yifei's first appearance in F1. Yamamoto Youkyo was still a little worried at first, whether Zhang Yifei would not be able to withstand the pressure.

But now it seems that Zhang Yifei didn't take it seriously at all, let alone any pressure, he didn't even have an embarrassed attitude, and asked openly in the team's voice.

"It's that I'm dissatisfied with you, but haven't you seen this kind of scene?"

Coser's voice sounded without any emotion, and he also admitted very simply and rudely that many of the audience at the scene were hostile to Zhang Yifei because he was a Chinese driver.

"Of course I've seen it, and I've seen anything more spectacular than this."

Zhang Yifei responded in a relaxed tone, in fact, objectively speaking, the number of people who ridiculed today is much more spectacular than the Renault Formula.

After all, the largest number of spectators in Formula Renault is just over 10,000 people, while the Albert Park Circuit can accommodate 80,000 people. Even if it is just a practice match today, the number of spectators present is estimated to be forty or fifty thousand people, at least at a glance, it is not an exaggerated adjective.

Many of Zhang Yifei's supporters have traveled thousands of miles from China, but in terms of absolute numbers, they are definitely far inferior to the local Australian audience.

If it is placed on the European track, Zhang Yifei's popularity has skyrocketed now, and those who support and oppose it can at least do five or five times. But Zhang Yifei came to the Australian circuit for the first time, and he was still a pure newcomer in F1, so Zhang Yifei's answer to Korcel was more of a hard mouth.

But Korsell didn't care about this, and instead admitted Zhang Yifei's statement.

"Now that we've seen the more spectacular ones, it's just a small scene, so let's collect track data and submit driver feedback."

"Understood."

Zhang Yifei also put away the mentality of watching the excitement, the first two laps can be slow, but the whole test lap can be spent slowly. It is necessary to test the car's adaptability to the track at different speeds.

No driver can guarantee that at hundreds of kilometers per hour, he can still pay attention to the off-field situation, not even Schumacher and Senna!

On the second lap of the test, Zhang Yifei began to pass on some feelings about the track to Kossel in the pit, asking him to record with the chief technician Charlie, and make adjustments after the pit stop.

"Kossel, I don't think the grip of the hard tyres in the corners is enough, and the zigzag high-speed corners feel a little fluttery."

"I see, the tyre change will be done in the next two practice sessions."

Kosell just took note and didn't decide on the change of tires.

The use of different tyres will affect the entire pit stop layout of the team strategy group.

From the difference between hard and soft tires, the strategy group can choose one-stop, two-stop, and three-stop tactics. Even in extreme cases, if a driver is extremely confident, he can choose to switch to super-soft tyres and use a four-stop tactic to overtake his opponent.

Later, in the F1 French station, Schumacher left a wonderful four-stop tactic in history and successfully won the championship. So the tires are basically put to the last test and decision, otherwise all the tactical plans will have to be changed.

"In the corners, I felt that I had enough speed, so I gave up the mid-downforce and opted for the high-downforce tuning."

"The gearbox gear ratio, as much as possible to focus on acceleration, I feel that there are not many long straight sections at Albert Park, and it is likely that the extreme speed of the car will not be able to be achieved."

"The suspension feels a little uncomfortable, there's no roll in the low-speed corners, and it should be more of a driver stance than a race steering response."

As Zhang Yifei ran, he expressed his feelings about the Albert Park track.

After 8 days of F1 winter testing, this time cannot be said to be very long, but it has brought a lot of experience and growth to Zhang Yifei. At least he's gotten used to the JS53 and the rules of car tuning.

In fact, thanks to Alesi, many tuning methods and choices are all made by Zhang Yifei in the team's voice, learning and imitating Alesi's progress.

Later, Zhang Yifei gradually understood why the team had even played an inextricable scene last season, but Prost insisted on keeping Alessi.

It is because Alessi, as a French veteran, has a wealth of racing experience, he can not only complete the car tuning better and faster, but also pass on this experience to the ears and eyes of newcomers.

As long as you are willing to listen and learn, you can make faster progress.

Coincidentally, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as a hard-working and good learner, and Alessi has taught him a lot during this time.
