The members of the Prost crew were all looking at each other at the moment, they were really a little worried about whether Zhang Yifei was floating, after all, he was young and ambitious, and he was back in his home stadium, and all around him were all kinds of praise and praise.

Not to mention anything else, just posters and banners are all over the streets of Donghai City, Zhang Yifei and Schumacher are the two most central C positions, and even Zhang Yifei vaguely pressed Schumacher.

It is with this concern that they will gather in the racing simulator training room, and if there is really any mental accident, they can seize the time to rescue it and help Zhang Yifei get back in shape.

As a result, they never expected that Zhang Yifei, who ran the Donghai Circuit on the racing simulator for the first time, crushed Alonso at the beginning speed, and it was the kind of crushing that may not even be visible in the taillights, which really made people feel like they were dreaming.

It didn't take long to complete a lap of the Tokai circuit on the simulator, just over a minute, and when the car crossed the start line again and the lap speed appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, all the crew members standing behind were frozen in place!

This moment can no longer be described by the word surprise, and it is not an exaggeration to use "fright", because Zhang Yifei only took 1 minute 32 seconds 452 seconds in a single lap, which directly threw off the fastest lap of Alonso by almost 1.5 seconds!

You must know that the current Alonso is no longer the rookie who even looked down on the Minardi team. Although there is a certain gap with Zhang Yifei, he is also a frequent visitor to the points area, and occasionally he can hit the podium.

And the total points run this season also surpassed the well-known veterans Kuthard and Ralph Schumacher, except that the background is still a little worse, he can already be regarded by the standards of top drivers.

In a sense, in the eyes and perceptions of the outside world, Alonso is developing towards the status of a second Barrichello. Although Alonso himself has never wanted to be Barrichello, or even the next Zhang Yifei, he will only become himself, Fernando Alonso from Spain!

But from the side, it also reflects the outside world's recognition of Alonso's strength, and he may fall behind Zhang Yifei in the lap time of the racing simulator, which will definitely not be as exaggerated as now.

Not to mention that Alonso is still on the racing simulator and has run on the East China Sea Circuit for a day or two, but Zhang Yifei is the first contact!

"It's impossible, there's nothing wrong with the racing simulator, is it?"

Prost's first reaction when he saw this lap time was to ask Leo, the design director next to him, with a face full of disbelief.

If you want to talk about genius, Prost is a super driver who has competed with Senna, a four-time champion. In a career of more than ten years, no professional driver has ever seen it, and no matter how talented he is, it is absolutely impossible to go beyond the scope of logic.

Zhang Yifei's current lap speed is a bit out of the realm of human talent. Even if he was given half a day of practice, Prost would have been able to throw Alonso for 1.5 seconds, after all, he became the background wall at the Monaco circuit and was forced to be thrown by Senna of the same team for 1.4 seconds.

But now this situation is completely illogical, and the only thing that can be thought of is a malfunction of the racing simulator, and the lap times on it are incorrect.

Usually the team's racing car and simulator problems are the responsibility of Leo, and when he heard Prost's question, he was also shocked in his heart. However, judging from the current normal operation of the racing simulator, it does not look like there is any malfunction at all.

And even if there is a problem with the timing system, but the process of Zhang Yifei's lap just now is seen by everyone, the track map has not changed, and the same scene is faster than Alonso, how can this be explained?

"I think the simulator should be fine."

The conversation between Leo and Prost also affected the practice rider who was wearing headphones, and Alonso vaguely heard the discussion about Zhang Yifei's lap time, so he turned his body to look at Zhang Yifei's screen with curiosity.

When he saw the time of 1 minute 32 seconds and 452 seconds, he directly took off his headphones, stood up from the cockpit of the racing simulator, came to the screen of Zhang Yifei's simulator, and confirmed it again at close range.

That's right, it's 1:32.452, Zhang Yifei ran casually on the simulator for the first lap, and he left the time of 1:34.084 that he ran in a day, far behind!

If the crew members are just unbelievable, then Alonso saw this result, and his outlook on life and career was shattered.

He really couldn't imagine that a driver could adapt to a new track like that. I can't imagine that the gap between myself and flying is so exaggerated!

"You haven't run the Tokai Circuit on a simulator before?"

Alonso asked Zhang Yifei directly, if he didn't figure out what was going on, he would no longer be able to maintain his training mentality.

"Huh? What did you say? ”

Zhang Yifei took off his headphones and looked at Alonso with some blankness, he was completely unaffected by the discussion of the crew members, and he didn't even notice that Alonso was already standing by his side.

Because of running the Tokai International Circuit again, countless responses came to mind, and compared with previous touring car races, this time using F1 simulation training is a new experience.

So Zhang Yifei was completely immersed in the racing simulator, and in the face of Alonso's sudden inquiry, he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Are you really running the Tokai Circuit on a simulator for the first time?"

Alonso emphasized word by word, he must get this answer, otherwise the impact of this lap time on Alonso is too great, and his pursuit of Zhang Yifei is like throwing an axe into the sky.

The sky is so high and vast, no matter how high the axe is thrown, it can't touch the skin of the sky!

"yes, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yifei has not yet reacted to any problems with his lap time, and to be honest, he is not very satisfied with this lap time, after all, he has not broken Schumacher's track record.

You must know that on any track in the past, Zhang Yifei was chasing, and he tried his best to speed up, just to catch up with the track records. But at the East China Sea Grand Prix, Schumacher was the one who was the chaser, and he should be working towards my lap time target!

Zhang Yifei's answer is undoubtedly an admission that he ran the Donghai Circuit for the first time on a racing simulator.

So after hearing this, Alonso's face instantly turned to ashes, and he felt that his fighting spirit and confidence were instantly shattered. It turns out that all his chasing is so cute, the two of them are not on the same level at all, and no matter how hard they try, they can't change any results.

Seeing the change in Alonso's face, with Prost's veteran experience, he instantly lost the confidence of this Spanish kid and was greatly hit. Although Prost doesn't like the top brother very much, as the owner of a team, as long as Alonso is his driver, he must calm and stabilize the driver's emotions.

"Fly, why don't you run again?"

To be honest, the minute or so was too fast and sudden, and I didn't see a lot of things exactly.

If you want to really understand what happened, the best way is to let Zhang Yifei run again, from the line and control, to see if it is accidental or inevitable!

In the face of Prost's request, coupled with the various weird expressions of the crew members behind him, Zhang Yifei understood at this time that his lap speed must be too amazing, which surprised and shocked them.

However, Zhang Yifei did not intend to hide or keep a low profile because of this, because this kind of thing is to be shown in the game after all, and now let them adapt to it early to avoid a greater impact in the next few days.

"Okay."

So without saying much, Zhang Yifei simply pressed the reset button and continued to start his track running map on the simulator.

With the previous experience, this time the crew members paid more attention to Zhang Yifei's control. So they soon discovered that Zhang Yifei's cornering line on the East China Sea Circuit was so accurate that it was terrifying, even if it was the most difficult No. 1, 2, and 3 spiral bends, Zhang Yifei could do the full curve and follow the braking.

The braking and oil replenishment in the corners are very just right, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is like skating across the track, without the slightest mud and water!

However, this scene made Cosell's eyes change a little, if Zhang Yifei can accurately walk the line in other corners, it can also be described as amazingly talented, after all, every ten years in F1, there must always be such a peerless genius.

But the full-curve trailing braking in the spiral bend is definitely not something that a novice can run, even a peerless genius can't do. Because you can't control all the details of this spiral bend, you're bound to alternate the brakes and throttles quickly to ensure that you can control the car to the limit.

And Zhang Yifei's action under his feet just now, basically did not brake too much, and the whole corner was controlled by the tight throttle, which is also the key to his absolute lead over Alonso in speed.

This kind of control by simply relying on the throttle is impossible to do without the accumulation of experience for hundreds of laps.

Now the problem arises here, all of Zhang Yifei's performance is not the normal performance that should be expected for the first time to simulate the East China Sea track, but more like an extremely experienced skill.

Others may mistakenly think that Zhang Yifei has run many laps, but Korsell gets along with Zhang Yifei almost every day, whether he has time to simulate the training of the East China Sea Track, no one knows better than Korcel, even if this is not Zhang Yifei's first test run, the number of laps will definitely not exceed ten laps, and he runs and plays two laps in his free time.

So at this moment, even Korsell was confused, he couldn't understand how Zhang Yifei did it, can talent really explain this problem?

More than a minute passed, and Zhang Yifei's simulated training lap time appeared again in the upper right corner of the screen, this time in 1:32.433. Not only did they reproduce the previous amazing lap time, but they also ran faster than before!

Now everyone has no doubts, the reality is already in front of them, whether they believe it or not, they can't change the final result.

It turns out that flying is really so strong?

Alonso stood in place in a daze, thinking of the picture of Zhang Yifei frowning from time to time after Zhang Yifei saw the track data yesterday.

No wonder Zhang Yifei will show a dissatisfied look with the track data, not as arrogant as he thinks, but his understanding of this track, which can indeed be described as dominant.

It's not that Alonso doesn't have confidence in his own strength, he believes that even Schumacher's fastest speed on the car simulator is at least 0.5 seconds slower than the current Zhang Yifei lap time.

With a time of 1:32.433, it is an absolutely terrifying lead, and it has a chance to become the first track record of the East China Sea Grand Prix!

Alonso was not the only one who thought so, but the crew members who were worried before didn't know what to say now. With this lap time, do you still need to worry about Zhang Yifei's slack in the East China Sea Grand Prix?

Any lack of effort on the part of a rookie can be magnified as a reason for failure, but as long as you can win the game, then all moves are justified.

It's not that Zhang Yifei is inflated and arrogant, but he has the strength to express such an attitude, everything is under control, what else is there to be nervous about?

"Yifei-kun, how did you do it?"

Yamamoto Ukyo asked this sentence in a somewhat trembling tone.

In the past, Cosell could only say that he only met every day, but as a data analyst, Yamamoto Ukyo, as long as Zhang Yifei was in the training room of the racing simulator, he would record Zhang Yifei's training data inch by inch.

Whether Zhang Yifei has secretly run the East China Sea Grand Prix, he can hide it from everyone, but he definitely can't hide it from Yamamoto Ukyo.

He really wanted to know, how did Zhang Yifei do it?

Faced with questions like Yamamoto Ukyo, when he ran this lap time, Zhang Yifei was already mentally prepared.

The more this kind of thing is explained, the more loopholes there are, so he replied very simply: "I am the spokesperson of the Tokai Grand Prix, I have already seen the layout of the track, and this is my home field, although I have not run on the track, but I have always paid attention to the Tokai International Circuit." ”

"If I had to find a reason, it might be the home bonus and talent."

Is it possible to do this just by looking at the track layout? But the problem is that the drawings of the Tokai International Circuit are not a secret thing, and other drivers have seen it, so this is not a reason to run such an amazing lap at all.

But what is the real reason? Zhang Yifei really hasn't run on a racing simulator, and the Donghai Circuit was only built this year, so it's impossible for him to run past it in reality.

So no matter how bizarre Zhang Yifei's last sentence is, it can even be said to be absurd, but only this sentence can explain it.

Maybe this is really the home bonus, and Zhang Yifei's unparalleled racing talent.
