After passing the Club Turn at Silverstone, the next step is a complex low-speed slow curve.

This is also the feature of Silverstone, which can be completely divided into two sections.

The first half of the section is basically a continuous high-speed corner, and even the kind that can pass through full throttle as long as the line is aligned accurately. This stretch of the road emphasises a good balance of downforce and aerodynamics, requiring the team's engineers to fine-tune the car's aerodynamic package with great precision.

This is the most difficult thing for many individual payers, as well as for some small teams. Because aerodynamic engineers belong to the top technicians in the entire racing project.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of aerodynamic engineer works for the world's top companies or teams, and it is impossible for individual drivers or small teams to serve.

But this point happens to be the most prominent point of Zhang Yifei's team at present, with the presence of Kossel, Zhang Yifei never needs to consider the tuning of aerodynamics.

The second half of Silverstone is a complex low-speed and slow corner, which requires good mechanical grip and excellent torque.

Mechanical grip goes without saying, because the car is at low speeds, and the aerodynamic package does not provide enough air downforce. Therefore, at this time, the racing car needs to rely on its own mechanical grip, such as tires, chassis, and suspension.

Excellent torque also falls under the category of mechanical power of the car, and sharp deceleration when entering corners is not difficult for the equation. Because the grip of the slick tires is too strong, and because of the weight of the body, a little heavy application of the brakes can reduce the speed.

But when cornering, it depends on the power of the engine, especially the excellent low torque, which will determine the acceleration of the car.

However, Formula Renault is a standard race car, and all the drivers drive production models, so there is no difference in terms of power, and the mechanical category is not the focus.

This is why, Toyota's technical team withdrew, and Zhang Yifei relied on Ah Hu and Chen Zhi to reluctantly support the game. Because there is no need to adjust the mechanical quality, the difficulty is reduced to a minimum.

It's just that this complex track terrain is extremely challenging for the drivers. The high-speed corners are more about the driver's tangents, while the low-speed corners are more about the driver's handling accuracy.

Whether it is the angle of the steering wheel, or the control of various braking, shifting, and acceleration timing, it is always a test of the driver's hard power.

Especially when the main race is racing, the continuous low-speed corners will squeeze the car into a ball, at this time, in addition to the control of the car itself, it also tests the driver's choice of overtaking and defensive routes.

Taken together, this is a dual competition of physical and mental strength, and strength and plan are indispensable.

It is because of these factors that historically, the probability of safety cars being dispatched at Silverstone is as high as 60%, and the vast majority of accidents have occurred in low-speed and slow-turning areas.

But these difficulties are nothing to Zhang Yifei now, the 12 main corners of the Silverstone Track, he has been deeply engraved in his mind, waiting for the opportunity to go to the track for a test run.

Brake point, tangential line, acceleration out of corners, and gear shift timing, Zhang Yifei didn't dare to say that he was perfect, but at least he achieved a kind of smooth flow, which was more proficient than any previous track.

"Mentor, Yifei-jun may really have no opponent this time."

Yamamoto Ukyo looked at the data on the track, even with his more conservative and low-key personality, he said a word at this time.

Because Zhang Yifei broke the lap record of the junior formula of the Silverstone Circuit when he tried to run the fifth lap, this speed can no longer be described as amazing, if it is seen by outsiders, it is estimated that even if you see it with your own eyes, you will not believe it.

"Hmm."

Korsell also nodded with satisfaction at this time, even with his high standards, Zhang Yifei's control on the track at the moment was not too picky. It's nothing more than a few corners, you need to be a little faster and a little more extreme.

However, this is only the fifth lap of the test run, and based on the current record of 1:42.997 in the primary formula of the Silverstone Circuit, Zhang Yifei can run at least 30 laps. As the number of laps increases and you become more familiar with the track, the fastest lap time will be boosted.

According to Kossel's prediction, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap should be 0.3 seconds faster than the current track record.

Not to mention that Zhang Yifei's opponents are a group of defeated players who have "run disabled", even if it is to let the seeded players such as Massa and Kubica who are full of momentum have an ultimate showdown on the track, it is difficult for them to outrun the current Zhang Yifei.

It can be said that Korsell sees from his own perspective that Zhang Yifei has surpassed the level of his current opponent and truly achieved the lead in absolute strength.

"Mentor, it seems that Yifeijun still listened to your advice, whether it is his familiarity with the track or his own requirements, he has been significantly improved."

Yamamoto Ukyo also complimented Korsell at this time, but there was absolutely no sycophancy.

Because Zhang Yifei joined the team from Koser, the improvement in strength is obvious to all. It can be said that without the help of Cosell's F1 team experience, Zhang Yifei would not have been able to achieve today's results!

Therefore, Yamamoto Youjing's words, not because Cowel is his mentor, but sincerely think that Cousin's many harsh admonitions have helped Zhang Yifei get a great improvement.

"The main thing is that this kid works his own."

Cosell replied lightly, he didn't have any smug thoughts.

Because Korsell felt that he was just doing what a race engineer should do, it was undeniable that the driver was able to improve so quickly because of his own talent and hard work.

Zhang Yifei can have today, at least in terms of hard work, Korcel is in his eyes. Take Silverstone Track as an example, after the previous mistakes in the track data were pointed out, Zhang Yifei immediately made corrections and demanded higher standards for himself.

Take Zhang Yifei's room as an example, it is plastered with the cornering tangents, overtaking routes, defensive routes, etc. of each corner of the Silverstone Track, and there are countless gears, speed notes, and even the gravitational acceleration brought by the corner, Zhang Yifei has done a good calculation.

To be honest, when he saw this scene for the first time, even Korcel's heart was full of shock. Because of these data points, it has fully met the requirements of the F1 event level, but Zhang Yifei is still only a junior formula driver.

Although Coatel sternly warned Zhang Yifei that since he has signed an F1 driver contract, he must demand himself according to the standards of F1 drivers.

But a lot of things come down to it, and it's really hard to get a junior Formula 1 driver to hold himself to F1 standards.

Cosell's original intention was just to let Zhang Yifei put his positioning high, at least in the future, he would enter the F1 team, and he would no longer be this kind of rookie mentality.

As a result, I didn't expect Zhang Yifei to not just say it, but really did it. Within the limited scope of his ability, he has done the best in the analysis of the Silverstone track.

It is precisely because of Zhang Yifei's own efforts that he will have today's test run on the track, which is as smooth as flowing water.

"Yifeijun is working hard, this is the result he deserves."

Yamamoto Ukyo agreed, he watched Zhang Yifei come out of the Toyota Academy, and naturally understood how much he had paid behind this.

You must know that the Toyota Academy has been expanded to almost 20 of Asia's best karting drivers. But those drivers, even the hardest working one, are estimated to reach half of Zhang Yifei's training intensity.

Think about it, this kind of exaggerated gap in training intensity, as long as Zhang Yifei's talent is not amazingly bad, then it is an extremely normal thing to throw away other karting students.

Heaven rewards diligence, the meaning of these four words is also understood by the Japanese Yamamoto Ukyo, which is definitely the best interpretation of Zhang Yifei.

Of course, Zhang Yifei's talent is also on display, and he is not inferior to any of Europe's top drivers.

The test run on the track continued, Zhang Yifei drove faster and faster, and at the same time became more and more stable, completely without the test run of the last stop of the Manikul Circuit, all kinds of thrilling situations occurred.

This is not only an improvement in Zhang Yifei's strength, but also an improvement in mentality, Zhang Yifei is no longer challenging the track, but to conquer the track.

Lap times are also constantly being refreshed, and the goal of 0.3 seconds on the fast track in Kossel is getting closer and closer.

Looking at Zhang Yifei on the track, the name of another driver came to Kossel's mind, and he was Kimi Raikkonen.

Whether Zhang Yifei is willing to compare or not, he will inevitably be compared to Kimi Raikkonen when he stands on the F1 track in the future.

Kimi Raikkonen is also a talented player who was eyed by Sauber in Formula Renault in the UK. Although the British Renault Championship is the highest level in the Renault National Series.

But in fact, if you are serious about it, it is still a little worse than the current Renault 2000 European Cup.

So to be able to stand out from such a low level of the championship and enter the F1 team requires amazing potential in addition to its own strength.

Kimi proved himself as well, finishing in the top six in his first race on the Formula 1 circuit and picking up points. Even in the first 20 minutes of the last game, he was still sleeping.

Of course, this is explained in Kimi's own words, which is that sleeping more keeps him awake before qualifying and the main race.

But in the face of his first F1 race, he was able to fall asleep 20 minutes before the start of the race, which undoubtedly represents Kimi's terrifying psychological quality.

Now Korsell is thinking in his heart that Zhang Yifei's current performance has indeed surpassed the grade of junior formula drivers. So can he reach Kimi's mental quality and talent, enter the F1 field, and also get points to make a splash?
