In the team's pit, team members also high-fived each other to celebrate Zhang Yifei's pole position in the Grand Prix.

Kossel wasn't part of the young celebrations, his eyes fixed on the lap times of the other drivers on the display.

The second rider was Takuma Sato, whose fastest lap was 2:09.143.

In third place was Oshima rider Height, who clocked 2:09.551.

Even Japan's Yuji Ide, who was fifth, broke the course record for his fastest lap of 2:10.374.

Especially Takuma Sato, all his lap times can be described in the four words stable and terrible, which are basically the same as Zhang Yifei's lap times.

For Takuma Sato, in fact, before the race, he was not the strongest opponent that Korsell thought, and the strongest opponent he identified was the Italian F3 champion Paolo Muldian.

Whether it is biased and inertial thinking or not, there is no doubt that the strength of European drivers in this era is crushing Asian drivers. is also an F3 champion, and the Italian F3 Championship is golden, and it is also a street for F3 events in Japan.

As a result, Cosell didn't expect that it was Japan's F3 champion driver who actually bit Zhang Yifei.

If the strength of the Japanese F3 champion has this standard, then the fifth-ranked Iude Yuji will also be a formidable opponent. After all, he has won one more All-Japan F3 championship than Takuma Sato, which basically excludes the possibility of chance, and it is impossible to win two championships without some hard power.

To be honest, when he saw Zhang Yifei's fastest lap before, Cowsell agreed with Yamamoto Ukyo's words, thinking that this lap speed basically had no opponent.

If according to the previous Grand Prix F3 standards, as long as Zhang Yifei can stabilize this result in the main race stage, there will be no big problem in winning the championship.

As a result, it is really not so safe now, and the strength of the next few drivers should not be underestimated.

It seems that this year's Dallara car should also meet the standard of "Mars rover", and a large number of top racing technologies from F1 are applied. If it weren't for the urgency of time, and the team's technical strength would not allow it, Kossel would have had the urge to take down the Dallara car and find out.

There is no pole position celebration in Grand Prix, as after qualifying at 10 o'clock, the Grand Prix touring car race will take place at 10:25 a.m.

There are even times when there is more than one GT event, including the regional events of the Australian Island Touring Car Cup, the Greater Bay Area Lotus Cup, and the FIA-owned Touring Car World Cup.

Once the touring car event is complete, it will be a grand motorcycle event. This motorcycle is not an electric car in the mainland, but on Ao Island, they call gasoline electric oil, so the motorcycle race becomes a motorcycle race.

It is precisely because the events of the Grand Prix are very tight, such as tryouts and knockouts, that there is no celebration mode arranged at all. The track and pit lanes need to be cleared quickly to prepare for the next race.

Zhang Yifei drove the car into the pit, and the team members immediately surrounded him.

Ah Hu said in an excited tone: "Brother Fei, it's still cool on your home field, just now you got the pole position, and the audience gave a standing ovation!" ”

"That's right, I feel much more enthusiastic than foreigners."

Chen Zhi agreed, even if Zhang Yifei won the championship abroad, it was because some overseas Chinese were more excited, plus a small number of foreigners who agreed with him. Most of the others, at most, are courtesy applause, and there is no congratulatory mood at all.

Of course, Zhang Yifei is already very satisfied with this, you must know that in the first two races, there were scenes of ridicule throughout the audience.

"By the way, your pole position lap time exceeded the track record by more than 1 second, which is a track record set by Schumacher in 90 years and nearly a decade in the dust."

"So NB?"

Zhang Yifei was a little surprised, not surprised that he broke the track record, but surprised that he broke Schumacher's record.

After all, starting this year, the greatest Ferrari dynasty in F1 history is about to appear, and Schumacher will be crowned the god of cars.

For Zhang Yifei, Schumacher's influence on himself is actually to surpass Senna. After all, Senna had died in a car accident in 94, and his deeds can only be learned from various videos and documentaries.

But Schumacher, Zhang Yifei can be said to have barely witnessed his peak era, and the entire racing world is permeated with Schumacher's influence. Many Chinese drivers regard Schumacher as their idol and goal, and it is hard to imagine that they have a track record set by Schumacher.

Zhang Yifei never thought about it in his previous life, and he began to have the idea of competing with Schumacher in this life, but he didn't expect that he would "challenge" Schumacher so soon.

"What about the lap times of the other drivers, like Takuma Sato?"

Zhang Yifei said as he looked at Kossel, the race engineer was in charge of all the game data, and he knew better.

But when Zhang Yifei saw Korcel, holding his hands in front of his chest, staring at the big circular screen of the console, he understood that things were not so simple, at least he failed to crush his opponent.

Because if he completely crushed his opponent, even if Korsell had always been more serious, he would stand aside at the moment, with an inaudible smile on his face, watching his celebratory actions with his teammates.

Now he didn't come over, still watching the track data on the ring screen, which means that the other drivers are not bad at lap times, and Kossel is still working, analyzing his opponent and thinking about how to deal with it.

So Zhang Yifei didn't continue to chat with Ah Hu and them, but stood next to Korcel and watched the fastest lap of the other drivers on the screen.

"The first name you mentioned just now was Takuma Sato, and the hunch was very accurate, he was indeed very powerful."

Korsell said lightly, he didn't know how Zhang Yifei agreed with Sato Takuma's strength, but there was no doubt that he was more accurate than he saw this time, Sato Takuma was indeed the strongest opponent, and the overall lap speed could be on par with Zhang Yifei.

Zhang Yifei didn't answer, but silently scanned the lap time ranking on the screen, he was only a few tenths of a second faster than Sato Takuma, and the lap speed of the next few riders was very tight.

Formula racing is actually a pyramid model. Formula Renault is a beginner's entry, and only karting riders with good results will choose to continue racing Renault.

But again, only the strongest junior Formula drivers are eligible to progress to the F3 level. It can be said that the overall strength of the drivers of this Australian Island F3 event is definitely a notch beyond the Renault European Cup.

Especially in the front, except for the height of the Australian Island head snake, everyone else is the champion of the F3 level, at least equivalent to the opponent of the F3000 level, only one step away from F1.

In fact, except for the Italian Paulo Moudian, who Zhang Yifei didn't know, Takuma Sato and Iide Yuji, both later became official F1 drivers, and it is not surprising that there were such anxious race results.

"What, feeling the pressure?"

Seeing that Zhang Yifei didn't speak, Corell asked rhetorically, it is estimated that after this kid finished running, he didn't expect the opponent to bite so tightly.

"It's really more anxious than I thought, but it can only be regarded as unexpected, and it makes sense that I am ready and there is no pressure."

Seeing this kind of track lap ranking, Zhang Yifei was a little surprised, but not surprised. Because the moment he saw the driver's profile, he knew that history had changed, and this edition had several Australian Grand Prix winners.

And he regarded Sato Takuma as his biggest opponent early, after all, Sato Takuma is the most powerful formula driver in modern Japan, and he was equaled by Kobayashi Kemengwei later.

This guy has only been on the podium once in Formula 1 and has accumulated 44 points in his career.

It doesn't seem like a good statistic, but in fact, the F1 teams he joined in those years were basically bad teams that were about to go out of business, and they didn't have much competitiveness at all, and they were often on the verge of being cut.

At that time, Takuma Sato, because of his radical style, had a high rate of car breakdowns and track accidents, and was also the object of ridicule in Europe, and finally withdrew from F1.

It wasn't until he later competed in the Indy event and won the Indy500 Drivers' Championship that he finally proved himself.

However, the reason why Zhang Yifei regards him as his primary opponent is not because of how strong his strength is, but because this guy dares to fight hard!

In order to run the ultimate lap time on a dangerous track like Guia, in addition to the technical requirements, it also requires more courage to play with your life.

At this point, Takuma Sato is not lacking in courage, and the street race is also very suitable for aggressive riders.

For example, before Senna got the name of the car god, in addition to becoming famous in the rain battle, he also had the title of the god of Monaco. It was because he overtook Prost's career highs at the equally dangerous Monaco circuit, and Senna even bought a house in Monaco and treated it as his home turf.

Takuma Sato's technique is not very good in F1, but he can still stand in the first echelon of life and aggressiveness. Therefore, the Guia Circuit is very suitable for him, and he can play to his greater potential, which is why Zhang Yifei attaches great importance to him.

Zhang Yifei's answer made Cosell look at him with a little surprise.

There is no pressure, Kossel can expect this, after all, Zhang Yifei's psychological quality is really good, and he is very confident.

But Zhang Yifei had been prepared for a long time and had such an accurate vision, which Kossel did not expect.

Victory will only belong to those who are prepared, after experiencing so many events, Zhang Yifei is indeed not the newcomer and rookie who participated in Renault at the beginning, he has always been growing.

Previously, Korsell continued to raise the standard requirements for Zhang Yifei, which was to allow him to quickly adapt to the rhythm of F1 in the future.

Judging from his preparation for the event today, as well as the accurate judgment of his opponents, Zhang Yifei has reached the standards of some F1 drivers and is developing in the direction of a real F1 driver!
