The No. 13 car roared through the pit lane, attracting a lot of attention. Not to mention who drives this F1 car, this self-selected number alone is enough to attract attention in the Western world, which is the same as choosing a 4 as your own number in China.

When Zhang Yifei chose No. 13, he did have a diaphragmatic idea, don't you hate this number, then I just want to choose.

But it has become a habit to use it, so when entering the F1 paddock to choose the number of the car, Zhang Yifei still chose the number 13 and became the only driver in the F1 paddock who can use this number.

After entering the track, Zhang Yifei went down with a full throttle, directly raising the speed of the car to the limit. The advantage of light fuel is beginning to show, even in the first lap, the acceleration is no less than the sprint that began to challenge the lap time in the middle and late stages of the previous race.

However, the disadvantage of light fuel is also obvious, that is, it runs out of fuel when running, and it needs to be constantly refueled. The time advantage of such speed will be completely offset by the pit stops.

Therefore, the amount of fuel load is also an important part of F1 tactics, and it can be adjusted together with the choice of tires, which has a great impact on the outcome of the race. Even some events will have a scene of weak defeating strong and reversing defeat due to the correct judgment of the team's strategy group.

P3 qualifying starts sequentially, with a few seconds between each driver, so it's hard to get a few seconds off the other drivers on the first lap unless there is a special dish or something goes wrong.

So Zhang Yifei didn't pay attention to who the drivers in front of and behind him were, and his attention was all on the control.

After a few rounds of tuning, the JS53 car has been perfected to match the Albert Park circuit. What's more, this car is completely tuned according to Zhang Yifei's driving habits, and he controls it more easily.

Light fuel, soft tyres and all-out efforts, even if it is only the first lap, Zhang Yifei's lap time is also amazing. Not to mention anything else, I can see that the distance between him and the Toyota team Bernardi in front of him has been significantly shortened this lap.

"It's still a bit strong to fly, and the Bernodi of the Toyota team is about to be caught up by him."

The lap speed has not yet been shown, but the spectators in the stands can clearly see that the distance between Zhang Yifei and the car in front has shortened by looking down. If nothing else, at least on the first lap of the P3 practice session, he ran faster than the Toyota driver!

"Are you blind, and you can be caught up even if you are still thrown so far away?"

"What is called throwing away, this is just the gap brought by the first start, the same running line, flying to throw Bernodi is almost the same!"

"Hmph, then if you have the ability, let the Chinese go over."

"Wait, the practice match has just begun, and you will definitely be able to overtake it."

The foreign fan who responded was full of confidence in Zhang Yifei in his tone.

In fact, Zhang Yifei has been competing in formula racing abroad for a year, and it is not without gains, and he is hostile to his identity as a Chinese like Australia.

On the contrary, in many European countries, Zhang Yifei has gained a large number of foreign supporters, who have witnessed Zhang Yifei's strength and watched him step by step from a junior Renault driver to today's official F1 driver.

Many people were impressed by Zhang Yifei's strength, hard work and achievements, Zhang Yifei stood on the European track, not to say anything about the support of the audience, at least it was difficult to have any boos and inverted colors.

This is one of the charms of competitive sports, as long as you let go of your prejudices and feel the speed and passion on the track, you will naturally be impressed by the performance of the drivers.

"Kossel, what's the lap time?"

Zhang Yifei didn't ask much about Cosell's lap time before, because it was a junior formula race at that time, and it was natural that he should crush all the opponents in the same competition. It doesn't matter what the lap time is, first overtake all the opponents in front of you, and then talk about the lap time.

But now it is completely different, Zhang Yifei has stood in the top level of formula racing, and his opponent is far from being comparable to the junior drivers in the past. No driver can say that he doesn't care about lap times in the F1 paddock and can leave other rivals far behind.

At this point, Senna can't do it, Schumacher can't do it either, and Zhang Yifei can't do it.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei must understand his lap time and the gap between him and his opponents, so that he can make a choice for the next step of his stance and tactics.

"1:25.461."

Korsell immediately reported Zhang Yifei's lap time, which was almost 0.15 seconds slower than the fastest lap in the first practice session?

"What is the fastest lap time for the other drivers?"

Zhang Yifei subconsciously asked, in fact, what he wanted to know most in his heart was Kimi Lekenen's lap time.

After all, at this point in time, winning the battle of the twin stars is still very important to Zhang Yifei. This not only discourages many people from comparing him to Kimi and saying that he is a replicant.

Defeating the new star Kimi can also greatly enhance your popularity, so as to cross the rookie stage and enter the field of "new star"!

But the F1 team's voice will be recorded by the FIA, if this call is exposed after the game, there will undoubtedly be a lot of media, saying that Zhang Yifei wants to challenge Kimi, pay attention to Kimi and so on.

While Kimi deserves the title of a top driver, there's nothing wrong with him being a challenge. But that's all for the future, and now Zhang Yifei and Kimi are also newcomers who have little achievement in the F1 paddock.

To challenge a newcomer means putting yourself in a weaker position than Kimi, which Zhang Yifei is unwilling to accept. If you want to name which one is Zhang Yifei's challenge on the track, there is only one person who deserves this title, and he is Michael Schumacher!

"The event command center hasn't processed the data yet, so I don't know it now."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei reacted, this is not the era of high-speed computers in later generations, and all the drivers' lap times can be counted almost synchronously.

In this era, even F1 events require a little processing time, but compared to the previous Renault junior races, this time point is much faster, but there is still no way to do it in real time.

"Don't take lap time too seriously, run your own well."

Korsell reminded at this time, although Zhang Yifei has a big heart that other newcomers don't have, he usually behaves very calmly and steadily. But it's clear that now he's getting a bit of a fluctuation in his mentality, a little too focused on his results.

This is not Zhang Yifei's personal problem, many newcomers standing on the F1 track will more or less have some mental fluctuations due to various pressures.

Paying attention to your results and lap times is a normal psychological reaction. In comparison, Zhang Yifei is already very good, at least his mental fluctuations have not affected his control and performance, and the first lap result is a very good lap time in Kossel's opinion.

Hearing Coser's reminder, Zhang Yifei also reacted, and he began to be a little too anxious.

This state is not a good competitive state, especially under the master duel, any disadvantage in the mentality will affect the final performance. So Zhang Yifei took a deep breath, threw all these miscellaneous thoughts out of his mind, and began to focus on the practice match.

The cars were racing, and because of the layout of the Albert Park circuit, many spectators were able to stand behind the fence and feel the sound impact of the cars whizzing by.

The roar of this engine, as well as the airflow that breaks through the car at top speed, are incomparable to other races, and make many spectators feel a kind of blood boiling.

"Schumacher is really fast, the red Ferrari is unbeatable!"

"Come on Williams, you're the king of the track!"

“come baby！ Kimi! Kimi! You're the most handsome boy in my heart, GO! ”

Obviously, the last cheer was made by a girl, and at present, in addition to Schumacher, Kimi should have the most female fans on the track.

It's just that Schumacher's fans rarely make such a star-chasing girl-like move, after all, he is already a veteran of the F1 paddock, and his status as a king is beginning to appear.

Spectators on the track cheer on their favorite drivers, while team members in the pits are watching key statistics.

This is because the third practice round will be the shortest practice round in comparison, and it will only run about a dozen laps. In addition to the loss of light fuel and soft tyres, it is more due to the fact that the team must keep the drivers in sufficient physical strength and condition to cope with the qualifying session in the afternoon.

So the third round of practice was more like a warm-up.

However, today's practice session is the first race of the new season, and the emergence of Zhang Yifei, a spoiler, has led to the inclusion of many drivers' personal factors.

All the drivers were more serious than in previous practice sessions, hoping to run a good time, not to mention competing for the fastest lap, at least not to be overtaken by the newcomers from China.

Many drivers agree with Zhang Yifei's rookie strength, but this does not mean that they are willing to be surpassed by a rookie like Zhang Yifei. Therefore, strength is one thing, and qualification and recognition are another.

"The wear of the front wheels is relatively large, pay attention to the braking force control."

"The brake pad cooling system is under a lot of pressure, and it is necessary to consider adjusting the stance."

"Fly, borrow a little less shoulder, the front suspension sensor gives a warning signal."

"The fluid is running out, ready for the next lap of pit stops."

One after another, the team's commands, through Kossel's microphone, continued to be transmitted to Zhang Yifei's ears.

In this era, drivers are not forbidden to ask the team for solutions to mechanical problems, so Korsell is more about the status of the car to Zhang Yifei, rather than the position of the opponent and the track results.

Hearing Koser's pit stop command, Zhang Yifei slowed down his car at this time.

He still doesn't know what his fastest lap will be, but he knows he has at least passed Toyota's Bernodi, who started three seconds earlier!
