After entering the pit, the team technician began to quickly adjust the car according to Zhang Yifei's requirements according to the standard operating procedure.

In fact, this is also part of the pit stop training, many times the F1 car pit stop to refuel, adjust the angle of the front and rear wings, and use the start tuning that is more suitable for the track to maintain the advantage of speed.

However, in general, it is still rare to move the suspension, but few does not mean that it will not, which is not a problem for the F1 professional technician team.

Even in extreme cases, they can adjust the front and rear braking ratios of the tires according to the slope of the track. Probably the only thing that is difficult to adjust in seconds is the gearbox gear ratio.

"The suspension, the aerodynamics, the chassis, the power have all been changed. Fly, do you need anything else to change? ”

Charlie, the chief technician, took the time to ask, this is on the winter test site, there is no limit to the time of entering and exiting the pit, so the time of leaving the pit stop can be appropriately delayed, so that the car tuning is more in line with the driving habits of the driver.

"For now."

Zhang Yifei replied that after only three laps, he could only adjust it according to his previous habits, and as for how to fit this car, more test laps were needed. Otherwise, during the winter training period of the general team, the total number of test laps will not be as high as more than 700 laps, and many subtle problems are found and adjusted by the number of laps.

"Okay, that's no problem, get ready to leave the station."

After Charlie finished speaking, he was ready to turn over the sign in his hand.

But at this time, Zhang Yifei suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly said: "Wait! ”

"Questions?"

"Do you have heated supersoft tires in the pits?"

Zhang Yifei opened his mouth to ask, there are various types of tires in the team maintenance station, but the heated spare ones are generally only soft tires, medium tires, and even hard tires.

Because of the rough and bumpy road surface of the Catalan circuit, the tyre wear is very high, and if you use super soft tyres, you may have to pit for tyre changes in a short time, which affects the efficiency of the test.

In addition, Michelin, the supplier of the Prost team this year, has not developed a new formula of supersoft tires, and the tire data can be used as the previous test results. So Zhang Yifei is not sure if there are heated super-soft tires for backup during the test at the repair station.

"Do you know that supersoft tyres don't work at the Circuit de Catalonia?"

In order not to affect the operation of the team technician, Kossel, who was standing far away, asked at this time.

Alesi has been testing for two days, and Zhang Yifei should be clear about the data of the tires, and it is completely unnecessary to change the super soft tires at this time.

"I know."

"Then why are you going to change to super soft tires?"

"Run fast."

Zhang Yifei answered Cosell's question very simply and rudely.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei's answer also made the team members a little stunned, although the winter test has a lap time ratio in the end, but Zhang Yifei is still the first test, and the car tuning is not perfect, there is no need to fight so hard, right?

"Something to do with the Minardi drivers?"

Korcel asked rhetorically, and they also saw the abnormal scene at the end of the track just now.

It's just that compared to other teams who don't know the situation, Korsell roughly knows that Zhang Yifei and Madu, the son of the founder of Minardi, once had a grudge when they were at the Monza circuit.

"Hmm."

Zhang Yifei unabashedly admitted that he really wanted to crush his opponent with a faster speed.

But this time, he even changed into super soft tires, and the target was not only Yang Long.

After all, Xiong Long's strength and level, in Zhang Yifei's eyes, he would not let himself go all out. What Zhang Yifei wants to do more is to run the limit lap time in the first test, so that other riders in the winter test can feel the strength of Chinese drivers!

To put it simply, Zhang Yifei intends to use Xiong Long as his stepping stone.

"Charlie, put on super soft tyres."

Cosell did not refuse Zhang Yifei's request, he didn't care at all that Zhang Yifei wanted to run this kind of "grievance game".

Even in his opinion, settling grievances on the track is what a driver should do.

If you don't have a temper and don't dare to fight back, you will definitely not be a top driver.

Senna and Schumacher, the only two gods in the car world, are not good-tempered people, and they will take revenge if they have revenge, and they have done a lot of things like knocking their opponents and enemies off the track. In comparison, Zhang Yifei wants to defeat his opponent with a faster speed, which is just a basic operation.

It took about 20 seconds to change the tires and adjust them quickly, which is much slower than the average simple tire change.

However, if you count the tuning and communication time, this speed can already be described as top-notch.

It can only be said that with the addition of newcomers, it is not only the French veteran like Alessi who has changed. Even the maintenance team of the Prost team has a great "mental outlook".

Especially the refueling accident that happened before, it gave the technician team a great wake-up call, and even the first time the Chinese newcomers could cooperate without making mistakes, as an old member of the Ligier team, it is a shame to be able to make such low-level mistakes and throw the pot to the newcomers!

Motivated by this stigma mentality, the efficiency of the team's technician team has now increased by more than a notch. After all, they are not a new team, and they have a good cooperation and rich experience, so to be precise, they have returned to their previous state.

The sign flipped to prompt the station, Zhang Yifei let go of the throttle as soon as possible, and the maintenance channel began to speed up crazily.

It's not a race now, so there is no speed limit in the maintenance lane, and more importantly, Yang Long, who was chasing Zhang Yifei in the back, has run to the front at the moment with Zhang Yifei's pit stop, and is ahead for more than ten seconds.

The ultra-soft tyres are very wear-resistant, and in the face of Catalan road conditions, it takes about a dozen laps to pit for a tire change. Therefore, Zhang Yifei has to lead Yang Long by at least 1 second per lap, so that he can catch up with Yang Long before the next pit stop and complete the overtake.

Time can be described as very extreme, and Zhang Yifei does not want to waste the time that the maintenance channel passes at this point.

The sound of the furious engine roared by, you must know that there is not only a P room of the Prost team on the maintenance channel, but also the other ten team members, hearing the roar of the engine at full throttle, regardless of whether they pay attention to Zhang Yifei or not, they all subconsciously looked towards the maintenance channel.

After all, there are a lot of people standing in the pit lane, and drivers will choose to slow down in order to avoid accidents, even if there is no speed limit in and out of the pit. It's the first time I've seen such a wild and confident full-throttle through the pit lane in the past two days.

"Blue livery, Prost cars?"

"Well, this is the livery of the Prost car, full throttle through the pit lane, is Alessi so wild?"

The technician who said this was full of surprise, Alessi, a veteran who has been in the F1 paddock for more than ten years, basically has a personality and driving style, and few people are not familiar with it.

French veterans can be called "old" driver style, plus the stability of the car is not good, basically on the track is to drive a "health" car.

Could it be that it is very rare for Alessi to change sex today, or something to stimulate him?

"It's not Alesi, I saw Alesi get off the train after the pit stop and change to another driver to go up for the winter test. It seems to be the Chinese newcomer in their team, what is it called? ”

"Rider flying?"

"That's right, the driver in Prost Racing should be this Chinese newcomer."

After confirming that it was Zhang Yifei, the expressions on the faces of many team members were even more surprised, they didn't expect it at all. The Chinese newcomer is so unrestrained, and the maintenance channel dares to pass through the full throttle, is this arrogant or confident?

Even in the Scuderia Ferrari pits, Schumacher looked at the Prost cars whizzing by, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

"The driver who passed just now was a Chinese newcomer, right?"

Schumacher asked the race engineer next to him, Pat Symonds, who knew each other relatively well because he and Alessi were old rivals on the track, and even took his Ferrari driver's seat.

This kind of wild move of full throttle through the maintenance channel just now, it is still possible for Alessi in the early years, and Alessi will not do it at this stage.

And the Prost team, there are only two official drivers at present, except for Alessi, then the only one left who can drive the F1 car is the Chinese newcomer Zhang Yifei.

"That's right, it's the Chinese driver Fei."

"It's kind of interesting."

Schumacher had an interested look on his face, and after saying that, he walked towards the outside of room P.

"I'm going to see what this newcomer wants to do."

Kimi Raikkkonen, the first driver to complete the triple jump, proved that he has what it takes to become an F1 driver last season.

As the second "triple jumper" rider and a newcomer from China, Zhang Yifei has caused more controversy. But in the same way, it also made his name known to other riders.

Otherwise, an unknown Chinese newcomer, these top F1 bigwigs, can't even remember their names.

Schumacher stood behind the fence and looked at Zhang Yifei, who was speeding wildly on the track. To be honest, he didn't pay attention to Zhang Yifei at all in the past two days, and this kind of newcomer is not on his watchlist.

Of course, more importantly, Zhang Yifei has not driven a racing car for winter testing in the past two days, and there is no way to see him on the track.

So this is Schumacher, the first time he saw Zhang Yifei galloping on the track, he was more curious, wanting to see what Zhang Yifei wanted to do when he passed through the maintenance channel at full throttle.

But when he watched Zhang Yifei's track performance for dozens of seconds, the expression on his face was a little surprised.

Because Zhang Yifei braked timing, cornered tangents, or accelerated at full throttle out of corners, it can be said that it is just right, and there is no hesitation and immaturity of ordinary newcomers at all.

Chinese newcomers should still be the first test, is it so strong?
