744 How can you not be angry when you are young (5K)
"Fastest lap! Sure enough, the fastest lap time was achieved! ”
"I have long expected that Zhang Yifei is a driver with no shortcomings, this is the strength of the Chinese car god!"
"It's time for Schumacher to be in a hurry, the title of King of Monaco will face a challenge from China!"
When the spectators saw the fastest lap, there was also an uproar.
Although many people have a premonition in their hearts after hearing the commentary on the track and seeing Zhang Yifei speeding on the track. But when the name "Fei" really appears at the top of the list, it is still inevitable that exclamation.
Never before in history has a non-white driver put his name in the top three of the lap table at the Monaco circuit.
Today's Zhang Yifei once again stood at the top of the list!
Whether Schumacher was in a hurry or not is yet known, but the Ferrari crew was visibly anxious when they saw the lap time.
"How did the Chinese kid become familiar with the Monaco circuit, and what did he rely on, just that racing simulator?"
Now Ferrari manager Jean Todd really feels a little unbelievable, he can be sure that Zhang Yifei has never run the Monaco circuit.
The reason is also very simple, if the team has the money, other circuits can also violate the FIA restrictions and forcibly charter the driver for a few days of private training. After all, the gap between the teams in these years has not yet reached the point where the small teams in later generations will not be able to play, and the FIA's monitoring is not so strict.
But this is Monaco, a purely tourist city street, who can have the energy and face to block the streets of a country during non-event periods?
Even if he had this face and could convince the Sultan of Monaco, there was no way to block the news. So it was absolutely impossible for Zhang Yifei to run on the Monaco circuit, and this was his first real practice race.
"Racing simulators can't achieve that effect, maybe that's talent."
Ross Brown is not as excited as Jean Todd, and as a technician, he is more inclined to think about science and engineering.
The racing simulators of this era, even the most cutting-edge and latest models, cannot be fully simulated. Even racing simulators twenty years later have only reached the point of a ring screen at most, and there is not even a level of virtual VR.
The level of science and technology is here, and it is pointless to find more objective reasons, this is the talent of the Chinese boy.
F1 inside. There has never been a shortage of talented drivers who have shocked the world, in addition to the well-known Hamilton, Schumacher, Senna, etc., there were also F1 "four kings" drivers in the early days, courage symbol Niki Lauda, the first five-time champion Vangio and other peak figures.
They have also created amazing and unbelievable miracles.
The reason why Zhang Yifei has been questioned in various ways is nothing more than that he has a yellow-skinned face.
If he were a white man, like Villeneuve a few years ago, would there be so many people asking the hell about how he was running so fast at Monaco?
The answer is no, even if Villeneuve wins the world championship the following year, the shock may not be as big as Zhang Yifei's.
In this world, not only European and American drivers have geniuses, but also Chinese drivers whose racing talent is not inferior to anyone!
"If you can't even stop the Monaco circuit, then the next thing can only be seen by Schumacher and Barrichello, who is the real king of Monaco after all."
Jean Todd didn't question Rose Brown's words, in fact, he already knew the answer in his heart, there were not too many excuses and reasons to find, Zhang Yifei was so strong.
Even if he has not run the Monaco circuit, he can still make up for it with amazing talent, this scene is just like the original Indianapolis circuit, many people can't understand how this Chinese kid controlled the IndyCar and conquered the Indy 500 event.
"BOSS, and finding a way to get a high-definition picture of Prost's car, I feel that their flanks are very different, maybe that's one of the reasons."
Ross Brown said again, this time with his eyes on Prost Racing.
You must know that in this era, he is known as the twin stars of F1 designers along with Newey, and has created several classic "Mars rover".
Later, after leaving the Ferrari team, he created the Brown GP team named after him, and directly won the Constructors' World Championship that year as a new team, and the feat of being born shocked the world.
So Ross Brown had a keen eye and immediately noticed the difference in the wings of Prost Racing and wanted to take a closer look.
Hearing this, Jean Todd also set his sights on Prost's flanks, which were indeed slightly different from the previous fin kits.
You must know that the F1 pneumatic kit is one of the team's top secrets, and many teams camouflage the appearance during testing even before the race. Just like those civilian cars on the road that are not on the market, they will also be camouflaged with stickers during road tests.
So these fin kits are the first time that Zhang Yifei has appeared in front of the public since he left the station. Based on the inherent impression of the poor B of the Prost team, Jean Todd put almost all his attention on Zhang Yifei, and if it wasn't for Ross Brown's reminder, he really didn't pay attention to the difference in racing kits.
After all, even if it is the broadcast of events in this era, it is far from the high-definition, 4K, and 8K levels of later generations, not to mention the seriousness of various mosaics, and the details of the changes are not the identity of the R&D personnel, and the managers are really not easy to find.
"Hmm."
Jean Todd nodded, and at the same time muttered a little in his heart, has the Prost team really changed so much?
Picked up Zhang Yifei, a top driver last year, and this year's Alonso is among the upstream drivers, and now even the strength of racing research and development has become so strong, is this destiny?
Jean Todd is a man who believes in God, but he can't believe that all good luck will befall Prost, the Frenchman, is really unpredictable!
On the track, Zhang Yifei's crazy lap time has been transmitted to the ears of all drivers through the team's radio.
The competitive ones are feeling the pressure, especially the veteran drivers, who are planning to rely on their experience to turn the tables on this track. As a result, I didn't expect that experience was vulnerable in the face of strength and talent.
The uncompetitive rear driver, in the heart is more of an amazement, it seems that the rise of the driver Fei has been unstoppable, he conquered the Indianapolis circuit before, and now began to attack the Pearl Circuit of F1, is it possible that another "double champion" across the formula is about to be born?
No one knows the outcome of the Monaco circuit, but at least as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhang Yifei's name has been added to the championship contenders.
"Helio, fly the fastest lap."
Renault manager Briatoli said lightly, his previous warning has come true, Zhang Yifei is indeed different from the previous rhythm, he did not intend to cover up his edge as soon as he practiced.
"What's the lap time?"
Helio immediately asked rhetorically, his primary goal has always been on Zhang Yifei, and he even surpassed Schumacher in terms of importance.
"1:14.732."
When he heard this number, the expression on Helio's face changed, because Zhang Yifei's lap time was comparable to his fastest lap in a racing simulator.
His previous confidence was that he and Zhang Yifei were on the same starting line at the Monaco circuit. The Chinese kid has no advantage in experience, so what he fights for is talent, to see who can control this crown track in a shorter time.
For talent, Helio can be said to have absolute confidence, why do yellow people compare with themselves in motorsports?
But now, his proudest place has taken a hit, and Zhang Yifei ran the same fast lap time as himself. And the problem is that Helio still ran out of the racing simulator, and Zhang Yifei ran out in a practice of actual combat, and the difficulty is not comparable.
What's more, it's only one practice now, and there are two practices, three practices, qualifying competitions, and so on. At that time, Zhang Yifei could run how fast the lap time was, and could Schumacher's record become a track record?
Faced with the silence inside the headphones, this was probably the first time that Briatoli, who had not heard an unruly retort from the American kid.
Indeed, this result was too shocking, and everyone thought that the Monaco circuit could not be conquered by newcomers was able to break the track record in the first practice session by Chinese drivers.
The best talented drivers in F1 history are nothing more than that.
Although Briatoli was disgusted with Helio's arrogance and arrogance, he didn't want to let Helio's confidence be dampened at a critical moment in such a game.
In any case, Helio is a Renault driver, and the strongest driver at Renault!
"Helio, the lap time is amazing, but it's ......"
Briatoli wanted to say a few words of relief to relieve Helio's psychological pressure at the moment.
However, before he could say his words of relief, Helio's voice came from inside the headphones: "I know, I'll be faster in the next lap!" ”
Helio was shocked, but he couldn't just be defeated, and he could become the ultimate champion of a sport, relying not only on strength, but also on absolute psychological quality.
The King of India is not so fragile, and he doesn't need any comfort!
The same firm remarks happened to other drivers, but Helio said it, and after Schumacher heard Zhang Yifei's lap time, he took it to heart and silently said it to himself.
As the true "King of Monaco" on the track, the second man after Senna to actually control the crown jewel, Schumacher will never allow anyone to challenge himself on this track.
To be honest, Schumacher didn't pay much attention to it, after all, he had been running this track for nearly ten years, and every corner was like a carving, and it was remembered in his mind.
Schumacher didn't care much about the fastest lap in practice either, because these false names mean nothing in front of Schumacher, and the five Monaco Grand Prix trophies aren't enough to say something?
But just like a famous line in a movie in later generations, such a thing as the fastest lap, what I give you Schumacher is yours, I don't give it to you, you can't be strong!
Zhang Yifei's abnormal lap time came out today, obviously he wanted to show his muscles on the Monaco circuit to show his strength, to tell the world, does he also have the ambition to covet the Monaco crown?
I'm sorry, but I had to ask if Schumacher said yes or not!
From the moment Zhang Yifei came out of the lap time, the atmosphere of the practice session on the track completely changed, and the drivers with a little bit of strength began to increase their speed. Even some slow cars will be used as a practice overtaking object, and they will compete with a real combat attitude.
Soon Helio ran a lap time close to Zhang Yifei, and Schumacher used his strength to defend his own track record, and he once again came to the top of the list.
Later, Coulthard, who had been in the doldrums for almost half a year, finally regained his former glory on this track. He actually killed Schumacher on the fastest lap, and the first race of the new season made McLaren's name appear at the top of the table.
After all, Mika Hakkinen has been retired for two years now, and the luck of Panis in '96 cannot be replicated, and the only driver who has really won the Monaco championship on the track in the past decade is Coulthard except Schumacher.
Whether it's for himself or for the glory of the McLaren Big Three, Coulthard has no way back at the Monaco circuit, and he has to prove it!
After a quick lap change, calm returned to the track at the end of the first practice session.
Just when everyone thought that there would be no big changes before the end, Montoya, who had been holding back, came out and even narrowly overtook Schumacher's lap time and was only behind Coulthard.
And not only that, but Barrichello also surpassed Helio and Zhang Yifei, and the Ferrari duo came together once again, proving that they are still the strongest driver duo on the track.
In the circuit commentary room, Blundell looked at the frequently refreshed lap leaderboard, and the expression on his face was very surprised.
In his more than ten years of commentary career, he has never seen the scene in which the drivers began to show their edge in the first practice session, and even treated it with a real combat mentality.
There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei's abnormal changes have provoked the suppressed fighting spirit in the hearts of the track drivers, and everyone has the ambition to become the "King of Monaco".
"As I said before, it's not a good thing to fly too early to expose your edge. Now the other drivers on the track have been mobilized, but Fei is far behind, with him and Helio, it seems that the Monaco circuit is still not friendly to newcomers. ”
There was some regret in Blundel's tone, when Zhang Yifei started to speed up before, he thought it was not a good time.
After all, it's not that the other drivers don't have the strength to break out in practice sessions, and the reason why they didn't do so is more to retain their strength.
Zhang Yifei's "young and frivolous" behavior easily made other drivers on the track vigilant and began to take this event seriously. Unless you have absolute strength and think that it doesn't matter if you expose it, it is equivalent to telling your opponent your hole cards.
Obviously, Zhang Yifei's backwardness now does not show this absolute strength.
In fact, Zhang Yifei's strength should not be blamed, and another newcomer, Helio, also did not run the lap time at the top of the list, which is very inconsistent with his previous performance.
These two people are lagging behind at the same time, which can only prove one thing, they are already excellent as newcomers, showing that they are not weakling. But this kind of performance is still not enough for the Monaco circuit, and when those veterans really break out, they still have a great advantage.
Listening to Brendel's words beside him, Monaco commentator Jacques's brows furrowed, he was very optimistic about Zhang Yifei before, thinking that he was not reckless, on the contrary, he was very calm and planned to do things.
As a result, I didn't expect that he was really hit by Blundel, Zhang Yifei showed his strongest side, and now he lacks stamina and is slowly thrown away by other drivers.
Jacques is a native of Monaco and there is no other commentator who knows more about the history of the Monaco circuit than he does.
It is true that this track is extremely unfriendly to newcomers, and the drivers who have won this track in history are undoubtedly not top veterans standing at the top.
Let's talk about a simple statistic, in the past ten years, there are actually three drivers who can win the Monaco championship, namely Prost, Senna, and Schumacher. The number of countless championships or status of these three people does not need to be discussed too much, and they are absolutely legendary riders.
But the question is, is Zhang Yifei really so uncalm, relying on his current first point score, he floated on the Monaco track, thinking that he can show his strength unscrupulously, and then easily win the Monaco championship?
"You have a point, Fei is still a little younger, and he didn't calm down on the Monaco circuit, which is not so easy to conquer."
Jacques agreed with Blundell, feeling that he had lost his sight, and that the characterization of young people was still a little worse after all.
There are no more than a few minutes left until the end of the practice session, and the lap time for the first practice session has been fixed.
Jacques only hopes that this ** is a lesson for Zhang Yifei, not a blow. After all, he still admires this Chinese kid very much in his heart, and thinks that Zhang Yifei is definitely a TOP newcomer in the past ten years.
Jacques wasn't the only one who thought so, but even the drivers on the track were ready to go back to the pits. But at this time, the long-dormant blue and red Prost car once again showed a crazy lap time.
At the same time, he was followed by a "yellow lightning", and the two of them did not care that the practice match was about to end, as if they were ready to decide the winner at this moment.
The drivers of these two racing cars naturally cannot be others, only Zhang Yifei and Helio will make such a move on the track.
Many people think that the two of them are young and frivolous, and now the two of them are telling the world with their own behavior, if young people are not vigorous, then what are they called young people?
