312 historic pole position

"Oh my God, I just got the data from the event control center, Zhang Yifei ran the fastest lap of 2:08.832 on the seventh lap."

"You must know that the F3 lap record at the Guia Circuit is 2:10.732, and Zhang Yifei directly skipped the field of 2:09 and brought the record to the level of 2:08!"

"I never imagined that a Chinese Formula driver could run this lap time on the Guia Circuit."

"And do you know who set the lap record? It was created in 1990 by Michael Schumacher from Scuderia Ferrari, who is now a popular driver of the Scuderia Ferrari as world champion! ”

"Zhang Yifei, he actually broke the track record of an F1 world champion!"

Li Xin's words explained the reason why Korsell was satisfied, that is, Zhang Yifeidu's fastest lap was really amazing, and he actually achieved more than a second ahead of the Guia track record!

It's not uncommon to break track records, but it's rare to break them so much.

Generally, there are only two possibilities for this, the first is that the driver is amazing.

As the saying goes, there are talented people in every generation, and there will always be a few outstanding representative figures in each era.

Just as the legend of the 70s and 80s of F1 was Niki Lauda, and the god of the 90s was Senna, no one in the 21st century can compete with Schumacher.

When a new era comes, there will always be a legendary driver who will wear the crown of the strongest driver on the top of his head with crushing strength.

And there is no such thing as a dark horse that suddenly appears in F1, because if you can't reach the results of a talented driver, you can't enter F1 at all, and there is no talk of slowly cultivating thick and thin.

To be able to enter the paddock of F1 is already one of the best drivers in the world. Even if he is the most rookie one, he is still a crushing strength for other drivers compared to the dozens of people at the top of the earth.

It's like the only god driver whose driver's license has been revoked in F1, and his deeds are like a joke in F1. But at this level, he dominated the Japanese F3 race, and also crossed over to the ARTA team of Akuri Suzuki, and won the GT championship in Japan.

It can be said that as long as he is not on the F1 track, he runs other races as if he is playing, casually beating low-level opponents.

It's still a little early to define Zhang Yifei as a driver of the era, but his lap time in the Ao Island Grand Prix, at least for a short time, is difficult to be broken by other drivers.

In addition to the peak strength of the individual, the sudden large lead in the track record may also be the appearance of the "Mars rover".

The name "Mars rover" comes from the F1 paddock and describes the amazing performance of a team's new car. Even if the drivers of other teams do not make any mistakes, they still can't catch up with the car after trying their best, it is called a "Mars rover".

Just like the "black technology" chariot of the junior Williams in the 90s, he used the advantage of technology to achieve an absolute lead, and in the end, even a top driver like Senna did not resist the temptation of the "Mars rover" and transferred from the McLaren team to his old rival Williams team.

But in low-level Formula races, it is difficult to present the possibility of such a rover. Because cars such as those used by F3 and Renault are all F1 decentralized technologies.

It may be difficult to create something like a "Mars rover", but it is definitely not difficult to imitate it, at most, it is the first season, and the second season will have other cars with similar performance.

Even if it doesn't show up, the FIA will announce a ban on certain powerful features, such as the Williams team's "memory variable suspension system" in order to maintain the balance of the event.

Zhang Yifei's current lap speed, whether there is credit to the "Mars rover", this can not only look at Zhang Yifei's lap speed, but should look at the opponent's lap speed.

If the overall lap time has improved by leaps and bounds, then it naturally has something to do with the performance of the car. However, at present, the team's pit station does not have a real-time knowledge of the fastest lap times of all drivers, and the results can only be obtained after the race.

"Damn, more than a second past the track record, is it so strong?"

"No, Schumacher's record has been broken by Zhang Yifei, he is an F1 world champion!"

"He's an F1 world champion now, and it doesn't mean that 90 years are, ten years have passed, and someone should break it!"

"It's normal for track records to be broken, but the question is whether Chinese drivers are so good?"

A Briton on Hong Kong Island still couldn't believe that this fastest lap was how Zhang Yifei, a first-time Chinese driver, could be so strong.

Don't say anything about the Renault championship, even if you get the Renault championship, there are several F3 championships running here today!

Even if he enters the F1 team, in addition to this name, Zhang Yifei has not proved his strength with an F1 record, which is really a bit exaggerated.

"Then you haven't seen Zhang Yifei's strength, have you heard of Guia GT champion An Jili? Zhang Yifei ran the Guia Circuit with him in an ordinary sports car, which was like hanging him up and beating him. ”

"I had already expected today's result that night, and without witnessing Zhang Yifei's speed, you would never have believed that someone could drive so fast on the Guia Circuit!"

It can be said that Zhang Yifei's performance in street racing has completely conquered this group of underground drivers, which is simply amazing.

If Zhang Yifei is not a professional driver, he may have been named the "underground car god" in Hong Kong and Macau.

Not only him, but even the other underground riders sitting next to him had an expression of admiration and admiration on their faces.

After all, it is different from sitting here and watching from afar, only when you stand next to the track and feel Zhang Yifei's speed and strength can you understand how terrifying he is.

As the black and white checkered flag representing the end of the game appeared, Zhang Yifei began to slow down and prepare to go to the P room of the maintenance lane.

Up to this moment, Zhang Yifei didn't know his fastest lap. Because the speed of each lap in qualifying is different, Zhang Yifei in the race is more accustomed to focusing on the car rather than caring about how fast he runs every lap.

Unless you're meeting a strong opponent and you're going to have to fight for that kind of victory in milliseconds, there's not much difference between asking and not asking.

Zhang Yifei didn't believe it, a total of 32 drivers participated, and the top 20 entered the main race, and he could still be eliminated in the qualifying round?

Zhang Yifei didn't ask, and Korsell never took the initiative to tell Zhang Yifei about the lap time, which was also his strategic habit. Because Korsell believes that only when he doesn't know his lap time, there will be a sense of crisis and maintain his fighting spirit to continue to break through.

Whether this is the case, or whether the driver can withstand the curiosity and sense of crisis, is not Kossel's concern.

After all, if you can't bear it, you can ask, if you don't say it, who knows?

One is too lazy to ask, the other doesn't want to say, so the event team is formed, which can really be described as a needle-to-wheat, and the two people "smell the same". If you change to a race engineer or driver, you will probably think it will be wonderful!

The spectators in the main stands, at this time, are also locked on the large broadcast screen of the track, where the lap times and rankings of the drivers will appear.

Soon the broadcast screen on the big screen changed, the lap speed and ranking appeared on the big screen, and Zhang Yifei's name appeared at the top of the list!

When they saw Zhang Yifei's name, the audience burst into thunderous applause, and even most of the audience stood up to pay tribute to Zhang Yifei.

Because this is the nearly fifty-year history of Grand Prix, the name of a Chinese appears for the first time in the leaderboard, let alone at the top of the list. Zhang Yifei used his strength to win the pole position in the FIA Intercontinental Cup in the Formula 3 Grand Prix!

At the same time, the lap time of 2:08.832 also announced Zhang Yifei's fastest lap, breaking the F3 lap record at the Guia Circuit. If this is the main race, the name of a Chinese driver will appear for the first time in the history of F3 at the Guia Circuit.

"Pole position! It's ours! ”

"It's amazing, it didn't disappoint me, Zhang Yifei, you are too strong!"

"Come on Zhang Yifei, win the championship tomorrow!"

The cheers continued to sound, and today, many mainland audiences who had come from thousands of miles away were already shouting hoarsely.

You must know that they have great expectations and want to witness the style of Chinese drivers on the Guia Circuit, and it can only be said that Zhang Yifei did not disappoint those who supported him!

"It was unexpected, the driver Fei did amazingly, not only did he take pole position, but he also broke the track record!"

"Such an achievement is estimated to be unimaginable to many people before!"

Li Xin said this sentence in an emotional tone, in fact, when he broadcast Zhang Yifei's fastest lap, he already had a premonition in his heart that Zhang Yifei would become today's pole position.

It's just that the strength of foreign drivers for a long time, and China's lack of historical results in formula music, even if Zhang Yifei's lap speed is very amazing, he is still not sure if there will be other drivers who can surpass Zhang Yifei in the future.

Now that qualifying is over, the dust has settled, and no matter what the final result of tomorrow's race is, at least Zhang Yifei has made history as a Chinese driver.

The first Chinese driver to win pole position at the Grand Prix!

In the face of the excited cheers of the onlookers, Zhang Yifei also opened his mask and waved to the audience.

In fact, with his current state of mind, it is difficult to have any drastic psychological fluctuations in the face of this kind of performance in pole position.

But today is different, before the East China Sea Grand Prix, the Grand Prix was the only Formula High race in China.

Winning pole position in his own country and breaking the history of no Chinese driver taking pole position is enough to make Zhang Yifei proud!
