The members of the strategy team set their eyes on Korsell at this time, the boss Prost was not here, Korsell was the team's top decision-maker, and only he could suppress Zhang Yifei's emotions.

Looking at the gaze of the strategy group next to him, Korsell was very conflicted in his heart, and at present, Zhang Yifei may be only one step away from the pole position. If he can go a little faster on the next lap, he may be able to overtake Montoya and claim the second pole position title of his career.

According to Cosell's aggressive personality, he is willing to take some risks for the sake of pole position.

What qualifies an F1 driver to be called the best driver in the world if he doesn't dare to take risks?

But this time, Caser knew that the current lap time was already the limit of Zhang Yifei. Because the fastest lap he set on the racing simulator was only 1:1:14.241, compared to the current 1:14.252, the difference can be said to be very small!

Theoretically, the lap times of the racing simulator are much faster than the actual track. Because the simulator has an absolutely ideal environment, and there is no psychological pressure, let alone worrying about safety issues.

Under normal circumstances, the lap time of the racing simulator can be controlled between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds between the real lap time of the track and the actual lap time, which is already considered a first-class driver level in F1.

And this time, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap has almost reached the point where it is equal to the lap time of the simulator, and if he is still allowed to risk speeding up, the consequences may be unimaginable!

"Fei, control your emotions, your current line is too extreme, and you are already on the verge of losing control."

Korcel finally admonished Zhang Yifei on the track through the team's voice system.

Because when he was struggling to choose, he thought of another person, and that was Senna.

The tragedy of Senna cannot happen to Zhang Yifei again.

"Drivers are supposed to be on the verge of losing control, aren't they?"

The expression on Zhang Yifei's face was resolute, he knew that victory was in sight, and as long as he could go a little faster, he would overtake Montoya and become the winner of the United States Grand Prix.

After two days of ridicule, he waited for this moment to respond to the Americans' strength and the ridicule of the IndyCar fans with the fastest lap in pole position.

F1 is the strongest formula car in the world, and I, Zhang Yifei, am the strongest formula newcomer in the world!

"Didn't you say you were afraid of death before? Hitting the wall is really going to die! ”

There was anger in Coser's tone, and his previous track instructions, whether Zhang Yifei understood or not, were unconditional obedience.

But this time Zhang Yifei obviously refused to comply, Korcel was not only angry at his disobedience to the team's instructions, but also worried that Zhang Yifei would really hit the pole position recklessly, and finally there would be consequences that he didn't dare to think about!

"But you also said that you don't deserve to be an F1 driver if you are afraid of death, I remember everything."

With only two laps left in qualifying, the grip on the very soft tyres was still at its peak, the fuel tank was almost at the bottom, and the car was at its lightest. This is the best time to take pole position, and if you miss it, the game will be over.

"Is your goal just a pole position for a race? Fly, then you're really disappointing me. ”

After saying this, Cowel cut off the voice call with Zhang Yifei, he has never been a mother-in-law, a hard-working person.

The truth is already here, if you want to listen to it, you can listen to it, and if you don't want to listen to it, you will play with your life. Just like Kossel's original philosophy, no one can teach a top F1 driver, and no one can decide the choice of an F1 driver!

Cosell's words were like a basin of ice water splashed on Zhang Yifei, instantly extinguishing many crazy thoughts in his mind!

That's right, my goal was never to be a pole position, or even a pole title.

As I said, to become the best driver in the world, you have to surpass Senna and Schumacher and become the next world car god!

Reason returned to Zhang Yifei's mind, the current lap time is the limit, but it is still running out of extremely risky conditions. Three practice matches and last night's crazy simulator training still couldn't fully compensate for the flaws in the handling.

The previous line manipulation close to the cement wall at the edge of the track was actually not under Zhang Yifei's control, but was in a semi-out of control state, and he succeeded in passing the corner by luck.

If there is such an extreme late braking again, or in order to pursue a faster lap time, Zhang Yifei himself doesn't know if he can safely turn the corner.

"Cosell, I know what to do."

Zhang Yifei finally replied, and there was no stubbornness in his tone, but a return to calm.

Hearing this answer, the crew members breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that Zhang Yifei had calmed down.

In fact, this kind of emotion cannot be avoided as long as you are a driver, no matter how strong you are. For example, Senna and Prost have been entangled for several years in the "Suzuka revenge", Schumacher wanted to hit people several times, etc.,

Drivers are impulsive, and Zhang Yifei is facing the contempt of 200,000 spectators at the US Grand Prix, which is unprecedented in the F1 car world, and there may only be Hamilton's racial discrimination in the future, which can be slightly compared.

But for Hamilton's black racism, more under political correctness, it is a kind of invisible discrimination. But what Zhang Yifei faced was public ridicule and humiliation from the audience, and the psychological pressure he was under was even greater!

So it's normal for him to have the mentality of wanting to prove himself.

Fortunately, Zhang Yifei still controlled his emotions after all and did not do some impulsive things. It's good that he's in this state and in this context, because a driver is not an emotionless machine.

In the final laps of qualifying, Montoya improved her lap time again and took pole position for the US Grand Prix with a time of 1:14.163.

It has to be said that Montoya's years of experience in India's local programming have made him familiar with the Indianapolis circuit. Even on the F1 standard track, Montoya did not run less in the previous practice phase, after all, he had already signed a contract with the Williams team as a test driver, and was destined to become an F1 driver.

This home advantage, coupled with top-class racing performance, was as strong as Schumacher's being overwhelmed and finally never ran. However, at the last moment, he narrowly surpassed Zhang Yifei's lap time and won the second place in qualifying.

But Schumacher was very dissatisfied with this result, and there was no happy expression on his face. Because the Chinese kid drove Frost's kind of broken car, he could surpass last year's fastest lap and run a time of 1:14.252, and he had to be at least 0.1 seconds faster than him, which is the normal lap time of a Ferrari car.

Such a close lap time only means one thing, and that's that despite the performance advantage of the car, you are actually slower than flying!

"Blundel, I'm right, the driver can't take pole position, Montoya is the ruler of the track."

Lewis had a winner's smile on his face, and Montoya's performance could be described as flawless, and he broke Schumacher's fastest lap last year by a wide margin.

If this trend continues, the United States Grand Prix champion can be said to be Montoya's bag, and the track record will be broken if nothing else. In this way, Montoya will be able to collect pole position, track records, race wins and complete the hat-trick of the United States Grand Prix.

It turns out that the best driver on the Indianapolis circuit will always be the king of India!

"Fei also performed very well, if Montoya has no objective advantage, can he really be faster than Fei?"

Hearing this, Lewis said in a very disdainful tone: "Even luck is a kind of strength, isn't it allowed to use your own advantages?" Blundel, as an experienced commentator, you should understand a truth, don't make excuses for failure! ”

Blundel's face changed a little in an instant, and he was also an F1 veteran commentator, but he was ridiculed by an American newcomer like Lewis.

But Blundell can't argue that there is no excuse for failure in competitive sports, and there is no absolute fairness in this world. Montoya was able to enter the Williams team because he won the Indy 500 championship by himself, and he squeezed out Jenson Button by his ability, Zhang Yifei wanted to be on the same starting line as the other party, or he could choose to join the Big Three team after running well.

So now slow is slow, that's the reality!

Seeing that Blundell did not speak, the corners of Lewis's mouth showed a contemptuous smile, the era of IndyCar will soon come, and then a "vintage" commentary like Blundell should also be swept into the dustbin of history.

At the end of the race, Zhang Yifei's final lap time was fixed at third, whether it was the supporters on the track or the team pit pit, they were all cheering at the moment, they were actually very satisfied with this result!

You can't expect a rookie season rider to score a hat-trick at every race, and that's what a super-rookie can do.

"Zhang Yifei, you have run out of the strength and style of our Chinese drivers!"

"It didn't disappoint me, continue to work hard in the main race and win the championship in the United States!"

"Come on, fly!"

"I'm sure you can be stronger!"

Originally, the American fans on the track were mainly cheering for Montoya's pole position, but hearing the cheers of this group of Chinese made them feel very unhappy, and the losers also deserve to shout?

"Shut up, Yankee!"

"Winning third is celebrated as a victory, and sure enough, the limit of the Chinese is like this."

"I still want to win the championship in the main competition, wait to kiss Montoya's ass!"

"It's good that the race is alive, the rookie almost died just now!"

The invective voices in the stands covered up the cheering for Zhang Yifei, and the third qualifying result was indeed good, but it was far from enough to shut up the American audience.

This is why, Zhang Yifei wants to play hard to get the pole position, only the first is the undisputed winner!
