"1:24.353, is this lap time a joke, the track record is 1:21.892! It seems that the slowest test lap of the past two days is almost a second faster than that of the Chinese newcomers, right? ”

"Haha, what did the rookie who drove this kind of lap time rely on to enter F1, does it depend on a rich father?"

"I haven't heard of any rich dad in Fei, maybe there is a Chinese sponsorship that gave a lot of money to the Prost team, I heard that the Prost team is in financial difficulties."

"FUCK, if I were the owner of the team, no matter how difficult the finances were, I would not let this kind of rookie enter the F1 team, it would be an insult to the identity of the F1 driver!"

"That's right, it's a little too slow, let the F3000 driver run, I guess they can reach this lap time."

All kinds of ridicule and dissatisfaction came one after another, and many people were originally curious to witness the level of Chinese newcomers.

As a result, I didn't expect this Chinese newcomer who copied the miracle of the "triple jump" and was known as a genius driver to be a complete parallel import!

I've seen the slow one, but I've never seen it so slow!

Compared with the cynicism of the team technicians, the drivers performed much better, and basically no one laughed at Zhang Yifei.

On the one hand, it is because of their status as drivers, after all, it is a very tasteless thing to publicly ridicule the skills of other drivers. The other thing is that the F1 drivers' skills are there, and they can see something deeper.

For example, although Zhang Yifei's lap speed is very slow, his line is very accurate, and it can be said that it can be said that it is a textbook curved line. And as a newcomer who tested for the first time, he didn't make any obvious mistakes in the lap, which is also very surprising.

It stands to reason that Zhang Yifei has this kind of control strength, and he shouldn't have such a slow lap speed, could it be because he didn't dare to drive fast?

In the history of F1, only Iide Yuji won the F3 and GT championship titles, and he didn't dare to drive fast on the track, and finally the FIA couldn't stand his dish and revoked his super driver's license.

But the problem is that in this era, Yuji Inide has not yet entered the F1 team, and it is doubtful whether he will even enter the F1 team. So the team members on the scene couldn't believe it, and there were F1 drivers who didn't dare to drive fast on the track.

"Xiong Long, you are going to change into a racing suit and go to the track, the Chinese guy is at this level, he can't outrun you."

Ma Du looked at Zhang Yifei's results, and the expression on his face appeared a hideous because of excitement.

He didn't expect that Zhang Yifei's performance on the F1 track would be so poor. You must know that when he was at Renault, Zhang Yifei was about to become a shadow of other drivers, and he was completely at the crushing level.

At that time, many media had already begun to call Zhang Yifei a talented driver, and the "triple jump" into F1 made Madu, who wanted revenge, feel a deep despair, because the gap between the two sides was too big.

To be honest, even if he plucked Xiong Long to challenge, Ma Du was still unsure in his heart. After all, Yang Long is also a rookie driver, although the experience of F3 and F3000 is far greater than Zhang Yifei's, but the F1 results do not depend on who participates in more races.

As a result, Zhang Yifei ran this kind of garbage-level lap time, and Yang Long had every hope of defeating. Even Madur's mind began to YY, how to humiliate the failed Chinese Yankees when the time comes!

Xiong Long also didn't expect that Zhang Yifei would only run this kind of lap speed, which made him reply with confidence: "No problem, I will let Zhang Yifei understand who is the strongest Chinese driver." ”

After saying this, Yang Long is ready to change into a racing suit and have a showdown with Zhang Yifei on the Catalan circuit with the strongest Chinese driver!

In the Pit Stop of the Prost team, several members of the race team were also a little surprised when they looked at the lap time that appeared on the screen, which was really a bit slow.

Even Kossel, who has never spoken much, took the initiative to press the red call button and asked Zhang Yifei: "Fei, what the hell is going on, do you know how slow you ran just now?" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Yifei didn't know how much lap time it was, but he knew that his first lap was really slow.

"Give me a reason."

Korsell threw out a sentence, he didn't think Zhang Yifei could be so slow.

"I'm familiar with the track, and I'm not used to the tuning of the car, which is completely different from my style."

Zhang Yifei was able to drive faster just now, but he drove slowly, in addition to being familiar with the track and combining the simulator's feel memory with the current track, he was more about feeling the texture and adjustment of the new car.

In terms of power, Zhang Yifei felt a big difference, after all, the gap between 930P and 820P simple data has exceeded 10%. For an F1 driver, even a one-hundredth difference in power can be keenly felt.

In addition, there are various tunings, Alessi is originally an "old" driver style, and in order to adapt to the reduced power engine, his tuning style is conservative, which is completely unsuitable for the violent driving style that Zhang Yifei needs.

A variety of reasons were superimposed, and Zhang Yifei slowly opened, after all, this is not a race, nor is it a record for setting a track lap record. Judging from the name of the winter test, it is natural to test the car and feel the most subtle differences.

"And what do you want?"

Cosell asked, he knew that Zhang Yifei would definitely not be able to adapt to Alessi's tuning, but he wanted to know what kind of tuning plan Zhang Yifei could come up with.

"The suspension springs are soft in frequency, which makes it easier to handle, but the car doesn't respond fast enough. In addition, the chassis is not low enough, the downforce is too high, it becomes easy to control in corners, and the top speed in a straight line is too slow. ”

Zhang Yifei's tuning plan is almost completely opposite to the previous Alessi, and he wants to drive more aggressively and violently.

"Pit after three laps and change the tuning style you want."

Korsell didn't talk nonsense, since Zhang Yifei felt dissatisfied, he changed the current car tuning according to his needs.

However, when Henry heard about Cosell's decision, he said: "The car is not in its final form at the moment, and the overall aggressive tuning scheme may cause some unpredictable surprises and increase the risk for test drivers." ”

"Fei is a newcomer who doesn't know that the winter test needs to be gradual, and you know, don't you give him a little advice?"

Unexpectedly, Corer didn't care about Henry's reminder at all, but replied in a disdainful tone: "If you can't even control the aggressive tuning style of 820P horsepower, then what kind of F1 driver is you?" ”

"Rest assured, Fei is a newcomer, but definitely not a rookie, he has the ability to manipulate the radical tuning style."

In order to motivate Zhang Yifei, Korsell can say some "blow" words, but when others look at it from the eyes of a rookie, Korsell will never agree. The drivers he coaches are definitely not rookies!

Almost just as Cosell's voice fell, Zhang Yifei's voice came from the earphones again.

"By the way, the power of this car is not powerful, wait for the pit stop to turn back to 890P horsepower, at least let me feel the state of full power."

Zhang Yifei couldn't help but put forward another adjustment suggestion, because the JS51 cars he drove before all had 930P standard power.

Originally, he still had high expectations for the new car, thinking that no matter how it was, it should be a little better than the old car, right? As a result, I didn't expect that the power feeling was so weak!

Just like Zhang Yifei's previous opinion, enough is not the same as refreshing, especially in a race against time like F1, a slight gap in power will be magnified obviously.

Even before the arrival of Peugeot's R&D engineers, they could only use the method of reducing the parameters to ensure the stability of the event engine, but Zhang Yifei still wanted to experience the feeling of "full blood" JS53 driving on the track.

"Yes."

Kossel still replied briefly, since he had promised to modify the tuning, he would simply do it to the extreme.

At the end of the second lap, Zhang Yifei's lap time reached 1:23.871, and his lap time increased by nearly 0.5 seconds.

When this lap time came out, although it was still at the bottom of the winter test at the Catalan circuit, it was a little too fast to surprise the team mechanics who had laughed at it before.

But when Zhang Yifei came out on the third lap with a lap time of 1:23.533, all the ridicule came to an abrupt end, and this lap time was very close to the first test run of this year's "new army" teams, such as Toyota, Renault and Jaguar, which was almost in between.

And the performance of Prost's car, other teams probably know it, and it is definitely not a "Mars rover". Therefore, such a result can only be attributed to the individual strength of the driver.

You must know that this is the third lap, as the rookie drivers become more accustomed to the track and racing performance, the lap time will have a greater breakthrough, which is definitely not Zhang Yifei's limit.

"FUCK, could it be that the Chinese newcomer is really the next Kimi Raikkonen?"

"Kimi has scored points in his debut, so how strong is flying?"

"I don't know, but it's a bit of a strong performance and I think he can catch up with Kimmy's first lap time yesterday."

"It's also really bizarre, this year Prost has been full of problems, and it just so happens that McLaren is also in trouble. It seems that they are really fateful twin stars, and if they meet in the main competition, it will be very exciting. ”

"I think it's going to be exciting."

There was a lot of talk in the pit pits, all talking about the most well-known F1 newcomers of the past two years.

Even some famous drivers began to focus on Zhang Yifei, curious about his crazy lap time.

But at this time, many people found that there was an extra car on the track, and they were desperately chasing Zhang Yifei.

"You see what's going on, Minardi coming out of the pits, not like a test, but chasing the drivers?"

"There is a little sign, it seems to be Minardi's rookie driver Yang Long this year, isn't he and Fei both Chinese, why does it feel like an enemy?"

"Chinese is not equal to China, Yang Long is Malaysian, maybe the two of them have some grudges."

"Then there is a good show to watch, and there is a fight to see the true strength of a driver."

However, the expected good play did not happen, just when Xiong Long was trying to catch up, Zhang Yifei drove the car into the maintenance lane, just like avoiding the battle.

"Wouldn't it, isn't it arrogant that the Chinese kid reported untrue before, and he didn't dare to respond to the challenge?"

"What does it mean to drive into the pits, do you admit it?"

"It's not so fast, right, maybe it's a pit stop for tuning or maintenance?"

"It didn't take three laps to pit, it felt like a fight."

Zhang Yifei on the track must not have known the discussion outside the field, but he saw the Minardi car chasing behind.

There is no need to guess, this car must be driven by Xiong Long, intending to "fight without a declaration".

But Zhang Yifei still followed the team's instructions and made a pit stop after the third lap to adjust, as for what Xiong Long, he really didn't care. If this guy doesn't give up on challenging after he leaves the station, then Zhang Yifei will not be polite.

There can only be one strongest driver among the Chinese, and that is me Zhang Yifei!
