On the third lap of qualifying, Schumacher showed his dominance at the Monaco circuit, overtaking Zhang Yifei on the second lap and reducing the lap time to 1:14.478.

At the moment, the fastest lap on the Monaco circuit was 1:14.313 that Schumacher had run in qualifying the year before.

It is obvious that his current lap time is not his limit, Zhang Yifei did not show his fangs in the previous practice match, and Schumacher also did not squeeze his full strength.

This is why Schumacher has always been very confident and intends to teach Zhang Yifei to recognize who is the "King of Monaco", because he is the peak of the current track!

Many people don't know what is the difference between the fastest lap and the track record, thinking that since the fastest lap is running, isn't it a track record?

This may be true in sports such as sprinting, but it is difficult to equate it in racing. The reason is that the race lasts nearly two hours and the number of laps is around 70 laps, so it is impossible for drivers to only consider the fastest time for one lap, and the overall time must be the fastest to win the championship.

In a sense, the race is similar to a long-distance race, where a long-distance runner can run the fastest lap in a certain lap, but what about after the run?

When you disrupt your running rhythm, and you spend your physical strength and state in advance, you are waiting to be eliminated.

The same is true for racing, practice races, qualifying races, which do not need to consider the overall results, you can load light fuel, super soft tires, adjust the air kit and so on.

But in the race, do you want to run the fastest lap and just retire as a spectator?

Therefore, only the fastest lap in the race can be called a track record, while the fastest lap in other races, such as practice and qualifying, can only be called the fastest lap.

Theoretically, the speed recorded on the track is not as fast as the fastest lap. However, there are always some strong people and perverts in this world, and it may be that a certain circle of gods has played and created a peak record, and there is no absolute statement.

Schumacher regained the title of fastest lap on lap 3, which was not as impressive as Zhang Yifei before. Many people subconsciously take it for granted that Schumacher is the fastest runner, and it is big news if he can't outrun his opponents.

But on lap four, another name overtook Schumacher to top the fastest lap of qualifying, and he was Helio from Renault!

This American kid can be said to have adjusted everything in the car in an extreme direction, and is ready to snipe Zhang Yifei's fastest lap.

He wants the world to know that no one can compare to himself in terms of talent, and I, Helio, am the real pride of the sky!

I have to say that Helio did wait for this opportunity and ushered in Zhang Yifei's full firepower in the qualifying round. It's just that Schumacher's counterattack was faster than everyone expected, surpassing Zhang Yifei's idea of standing at the top of the list, and now it has become surpassing Schumacher.

However, this kind of mistake made Helio more vocal on the Monaco circuit, after all, the gold content of the victory over Schumacher is greater than Zhang Yifei at the moment.

"We really underestimated the young people now, we thought they were just flying with full firepower, and now Helio is also proving to the world that he is the strength and identity of the king of India!"

Jacques couldn't help but sigh again, he has been commenting on the Monaco circuit for more than ten years, and he has never encountered such a passionate qualifying race today.

It's not that the speed or the skills are amazing, but today's qualifying race makes people see that they are young and enthusiastic. It's good to have a top newcomer every few years in F1's history, but now there's a trend of blowouts.

Even Monaco, known as the most difficult track, could no longer stop these young drivers from conquering.

"Yes, in addition to flying and Helio, there are also Kimi Raikkonen, Montoya, Alonso, etc., and even this year's new F3000 champion Massa has shown great potential."

"But I'm a little better than you, and I told me with my performance last year that I should never underestimate the newcomers on the track."

Blundell replied with a smile, after all, he had experienced the crazy season created by Zhang Yifei last year, and the on-site impact was not as big as that of Jacques.

"Really? Now that Schumacher, Helio and Fei have all shown that they can take pole position, which of them do you think has a better chance of winning pole position? ”

Jacques opened his mouth to ask Blundel, the British commentator really knows the drivers on the track better than he does.

"I don't know about this, maybe the title of King of Monaco this year will save the suspense to the end."

Brendel shook his head, not because he was worried about leaving anything to say, but because he really couldn't predict who would take pole position and who would be the conqueror at Monaco this year.

After all, there are so many surprises at Monaco, and with Coulthard, Ralph Schumacher and Alonso also not slow, anyone could win the pole position title.

In the face of Blundel's answer, Jacques did not continue to ask, in a sense, leaving the suspense to the end is equivalent to admitting the strength of Fei and Helio from the side, otherwise in front of Schumacher, there would be no suspense!

"Fly, Helio was on lap four very fast and he had the fastest lap so far."

In the Pit Stop of the Prost Fleet, Team Leader Henry reminded Zhang Yifei that they thought that Zhang Yifei's outburst was already strong enough, but they didn't expect to be able to kill a Helio halfway.

The fourth lap of the American Kid qualifying session was another surge compared to his practice results.

This situation made Henry feel a little worried, after all, Zhang Yifei's previous simulation training lap speed was not very good, and he only ran the fastest lap once in the practice match, while Helio has been stable in the front row, and he is still a little empty in comparison.

Whether you admit it or not, the title of the strongest newcomer in Indy's history is enough to bluff and make people fearful. Even if Helio is a true F1 newcomer this year, no one dares to take him lightly.

Now that Helio is beginning to burst out of his potential, I don't know how much potential Zhang Yifei still has to tap, and can he surpass the other party in the end?

"I see."

Zhang Yifei just replied simply, but when this sentence was heard in the ears of the crew members, the big stone in his heart had a feeling of being put down instantly.

The reason is very simple, that is, Zhang Yifei's tone is very flat, as if Helio's fastest lap is not taken to heart, without absolute confidence, it is impossible to maintain such a stable mentality!

Zhang Yifei has always had the impression of arrogance and arrogance in the F1 paddock, but he has never been a driver who is full of guns and can't do it.

Since he is not nervous and dignified, it means that there must be a way to surpass the current Helio, and the crew members only need to wait for the result.

The wait was not very long, and by the time the fifth lap of qualifying came to pass, Helio had just run the fastest lap, and more than one driver had broken it!

Zhang Yifei and Schumacher both surpassed, Helio only maintained the fastest lap of one lap, and Zhang Yifei's lap time also broke the fastest lap held by Schumacher in 1999 at the Monaco circuit!

That's right, when Zhang Yifei's lap time of 1:14.277 appeared on the track broadcast screen, the scene could be said to be boiling, and cheers and applause resounded in the sky!

The reason is that since Senna's death in a track accident in '94, the fastest lap record in Monaco has always been in the hands of Schumacher. Having experienced several different F1 world champions in between, the Monaco pearl has also been held in the hands of Mika Hakkinen and Coulthard.

But there has never been anyone who can really surpass Schumacher in lap time.

It's been eight years! For eight years, the record of the fastest lap at the Monaco circuit seems to have become a one-man show for Schumacher, and only he can surpass Schumacher!

Many people watched the crazy lap times of the practice session before the race, and had a hunch in their hearts that this year's track record and fastest lap would be broken. It's just that most people think that even if it is broken, it is Schumacher who feels threatened and breaks this dusty record with his own hands.

As a result, I didn't expect that Zhang Yifei, who was still ranked third before, would show such a ferocious leap, not only regaining the top position, but also directly breaking the fastest lap record in qualifying!

"Damn, I didn't read the numbers on the display screen wrong, Fei ran 1 minute 14 seconds 277?"

"You read that right, it's this lap time, and it's the fastest lap at Monaco!"

“FCUK！ The amazing Chinese kid, only by flying can he run this incredible lap time! ”

"Schumacher's record has been broken, is it possible that the next king of Monaco will be born?"

"What's so strange about this, have you forgotten that Zhang Yifei still has the identity of the Indy 500 conqueror?"

Finally, this Zhang Yifei fan was full of pride when he said this.

This group of dirt buns has really never seen the world, and when the driver Fei stepped on the heads of 300,000 Yankees last year and said that he conquered the Indy 500 event, it was called a real shock.

Now it's just a matter of breaking the fastest lap, and when Zhang Yifei wins the title of King of Monaco and conquers this Monaco circuit, come and marvel again!

The worship of the fans is blind, and in comparison, the members of the F1 professional car crew in the paddock are actually even more surprised in their hearts.

Because they understand better how difficult it is to break Schumacher's fastest lap, and this time Zhang Yifei directly improved the lap time from 1:1:14.507 in the second lap to 1:14.277 now, which is close to 0.25 seconds!

In any track, the lap speed is improved by as much as 0.25 seconds, which is a bit chilling!

Many of the crew members did not think that the fastest lap of the first practice session was Zhang Yifei's limit. But no one could have imagined that Zhang Yifei's ceiling would be so high, and he directly broke Schumacher's domination of Monaco as a newcomer!

"It's too strong! It is worthy of His Excellency the Imperial Demon King Yifei, the next generation king of last year, is he going to become a generation this year? ”

The leader of the Toyota team, Hirakawa Ueto, was a little trembling when he saw this lap time.

He never imagined that Monaco, the world's pinnacle circuit, could one day be conquered by an Asian driver. And it was from the hands of Schumacher, the ultimate demon, who broke the record for the fastest lap on the track.

This Monaco circuit represents the driver's ability to control the car, and is the embodiment of absolute hard power. The previous Zhang Yifei can only be called the Chinese Demon King, if he can maintain this speed, Schumacher's throne will be replaced!

"It's really the glory of the empire."

Toyota team president Tomita Tsutomu has an irrepressible envy in his tone.

It would be good if Zhang Yifei was a Japanese driver, matching the strength of the Japanese automobile industry, this is the real strongest king in the world.

It's just a pity that Zhang Yifei is a Chinese!

Not only the envy of the Toyota team, but even Sir Williams, after seeing this amazing lap time, couldn't help but feel waves in his heart.

If he was on the Renault Formula at the beginning, he could let go of the face of the three giants and sign this Chinese boy. Then all these crazy screams and applause on the track should belong to Williams.

"Shumi, flying on that lap just now broke the fastest lap you set in history."

When Zhang Yifei came out of the horror lap, Jean Todd was also the first to tell Schumacher the news.

"What?"

Schumacher, who has always been unfazed, showed his shocked tone in the team's voice call for the first time.

If Zhang Yifei surpasses his lap time, he can still accept it, because this qualifying race is not over yet, Schumacher will not believe that the lap time of 1:14.507 is Zhang Yifei's limit!

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhang Yifei could be so fast that he surpassed his fastest lap in history. This is simply impossible to do, and the Chinese "newcomer" who runs the Monaco circuit for the first time can really be so talented?

Not to mention that Schumacher was shocked, even the experienced Ferrari strategy team stood in front of the monitor in a daze when they saw the lap leaderboard appear.

It's not an exaggeration to call this a miracle, and even Schumacher himself spent six years on the track to create it.

Of course, track records don't mean that they can get faster and faster, and it also has to do with the performance of the car, the condition of the drivers, and the weather. But to be able to run this kind of lap time in the first year, there is no objective factor to talk about, pure hard power can do it!

Zhang Yifei's strong concept is basically deeply rooted in the hearts of the people now, as long as there is no problem with the head and normal people who are not swayed by racist ideas, they will no longer look at Zhang Yifei from the eyes of a rookie.

It's just that it's a bit too strong now, which is historically comparable to the greatest lap in F1 history that Senna ran at the Donnington circuit in the rain battle.

However, this can only be said to be comparable, and there is still a big difference in difficulty, after all, one is the rain battle and the other is the qualifying match. And Senna has a head-to-head confrontation with his opponents, and he only needs to run his fastest lap in the practice session.

But no matter what, it can't hide the light of Zhang Yifei's circle!

"Shumi, I believe in you."

Jean Todd naturally heard the shock in Schumacher's tone, but he didn't spur on, nor did he say anything like cheering, just a simple "I believe in you".

Because Schumacher doesn't need these irrelevant words, as long as absolute trust in his strength is enough, if even he can't do something, then there is no point in saying anything.

"I'll take back my honor."

Schumacher has recovered from the shock, he has been challenged countless times on the track, and his opponents have changed stubbles after stubble, but it is always the German driver who stands at the top.

It's not a big deal to be overtaken in the lead, the victory will belong to me Schumacher after all, and it will belong to the fiery Ferrari!

Schumacher reacted, and Helio had not yet woken up from the shock, and he always thought that he was well prepared to catch whatever the Chinese had to do.

It's just that one force will drop ten, and in the face of absolute strength, any preparation seems a little futile!

Why is Fly so strong?

How did he manage to be so strong?

He can't be better than me!

Countless questions echoed in Helio's mind, and they hit his pride over and over again.

From beginning to end, Helio was unwilling to admit that Zhang Yifei was stronger than himself in terms of talent or strength. Even if there are wins and losses on the track, Zhang Yifei is more of a competitor who takes advantage of the old drivers, and he is not lagging behind, it is all within a millimeter.

And this time, Helio was completely thrown off, and with some extreme adjustments that can be called "gambling", Zhang Yifei threw a lap by as much as 0.3 seconds.

What's more, there is no excuse for Helio to find, this Monaco track, Zhang Yifei and his starting line are the same, they are all starting from scratch!

Unable to accept such a result, Helio began to speed up like he had lost his mind from lap six, and he was going to gamble his life that he was the one who was destined to belong!

It's just a pity that the tuning of the car is already very extreme, and Helio still wants to use crazy actions to test and provoke danger, and God can't protect him!

On lap eight, Helio crashed into the guardrail and ended the qualifying session in an unexpected way.

Helio's exit turned the triangular battle of Monaco qualifying into a heads-up mode. Schumacher desperately wanted to reclaim his own glory and surpass the record he had set.

But the problem is that many track records in this world do not rely solely on strength, but on the right time and place!

Schumacher's heart was upset, and no matter how restrained he was, he could never change the fact that he was shocked by Zhang Yifei.

1:14.277, which is the fastest lap of the Monaco qualifying race and the fastest lap of the new track, Zhang Yifei controlled the pole position of the Monaco circuit and stood in front of the F1 Pearl!
