Chapter 279: The Battle of the Gut (1)

The week between the end of the championship and the opening of the Spanish Grand Prix has been an extremely busy one for everyone. Since the two Williams cars that had been using the new engine improvements proposed by the newly merged Cosworth technical team for the first time in the last race had performed well, the team decided to further test and improve the cars while continuing to use this solution.

Moreover, since both cars were completed in the previous race, this also provided a lot of technical data for the team's car improvement work to refer to, so when most of Williams' crew rushed to Spain in the early hours of Friday morning, everyone had a lot of confidence in the two F-28s that had been intensively improved. While there were no small test drives to bolster that confidence, everyone involved in the rush of the week believed that Ye and Massa would perform better than the last race on what is considered by many to be the most difficult and demanding of all Formula 1 circuits, and which has almost any of the challenges of modern racing. Of course, this confidence is also reserved and reserved. Because this is Alonso's hometown, I believe that the Spaniard will do everything in his power to defend his honor on this circuit. And, of course, the return to form this year is also a driver who has returned to form this year, and in such a grim situation, few Williams team members have bolder hopes......

However, there is no one person included here. Lao Ye, who has not tasted the taste of the podium in five consecutive races, has already held back his anger and continues like this. How can he convince himself that there is still hope for him this season?

In the last race, he chased from the fourteenth position to the seventh, which also greatly encouraged Ye Feng's confidence to make a difference in the next race. So. When Ye Feng re-entered the new F-28 that had been improved by his teammates and drove onto the Catalan circuit, this guy was almost like a hungry tiger out of the cage, and immediately attracted everyone who watched Friday's training match!

Without waiting for anyone to react, the F-28, which was lightning fast from the beginning, instantly overtook the two BMW racing cars that were still pressing in front of Ye Feng just now! The two successive overtaking processes were so resolute and decisive that the two BMW drivers didn't even make any blocking moves. At this time, Ye Feng had become a Renault car driven by Fisichella, and the Italian driver also seemed to know that Ye Feng behind him was now in the limelight, so he had the meaning of blocking the other party's limelight. So just now, he was driving slowly and constantly adjusting his braking system, and Fisichella chose to "fight hard" with Ye Feng for the first time! As for Williams' "broken car" this year, the Italians really didn't pay attention to it. In short, you can't let that Chinese kid pass it so easily.

Seeing the posture of Fisichella in front of him, Ye Feng's face, which had been very excited from the beginning, showed a hint of a hideous smile. Now Ye Feng doesn't care if this is just a training match, and he doesn't care if it will cause any damage to the Cosworth engine that has just been improved. Because in Lao Ye's opinion, if you can't even kill a role like Fisichella, then it no longer makes sense for this car to burst or not. Ye Feng just wanted to see how much potential this car had at the moment, so that he could also have a realistic understanding, and not wait until he was full of hope to get to the official competition and then get a stomach full of grievances......

Therefore, under the gaze of the group of people in the garage of the Williams team, Lao Ye and Lao Fei began a fierce battle that was staged in advance......

It turns out. Fisichella really underestimated the Chinese kid behind him and his car. It's no wonder that in the first two seasons, the Italian driver has almost never experienced a head-to-head fight with Ye Feng, so naturally he doesn't know what it's like to be chased by Ye Feng. But. This did not affect Fisichella to quickly feel the kind of powerful pressure that Ye Feng's other opponents had felt when they were forced to the extreme.

Objectively speaking, the speed of Ye Feng's car is not the fastest now, but this does not affect Ye Feng's continuous shortening of the distance between him and the Renault car in front of him after every corner! What surprised Fisichella even more was that no matter how hard he tried, no matter how perfect he was to make every technical move. He couldn't reverse the reality that he was being caught up.

Anyone who has ever raced knows that it is not the opponent's car that destroys a driver's confidence, and the car does not bring a driver enough sense of security to the showdown between real masters! Ye Feng now makes Fisichella feel that he can't get rid of his opponent's huge depression is really desperate, and this is not just a car that is superior to his opponent can be made, not to mention that Ye Feng's Williams car is not strictly speaking as good as Fisichella's Renault car. It can be said that Ye Feng is no longer the rookie he was a year ago, and now his skills have reached a new level through continuous training......

The huge psychological gap soon made Fisicella's nerves tense to the extreme. Then it collapsed in Ye Feng's growing sense of oppression. The Italians only lasted for two laps before they were defeated by Ye Feng's mad tiger-like pursuit! Before a continuous hairpin corner, Fisichella finally made a mistake in his busy schedule, causing the car to rush onto the lawn of the buffer zone, while Ye Feng behind him flew away from the eyes of the "frightened" Italians like a blue lightning bolt......

The audience was amazed!

It's really a surprise!

No one would have thought that Ye Feng, who has not yet performed well this year, would make an appearance at the Catalan circuit in such a way. And the tense sense of oppression just now was not unique to Fisicella, everyone who saw Ye Feng's overtaking from different channels did not react until Ye Feng overtook Fisichella for a long time. And many Renault fans are still plopping and jumping in their hearts and forget to boo Ye Feng. And on the other hand, Ye Feng's fans also forgot to shout because of the nervousness just now. It only took Ye Feng a few laps to announce to everyone that he was the protagonist of this race......

Right now. After surpassing the three opponents, Ye Feng had no vehicles in front of him for the time being. But the F-28's increasing speed suggests that the Chinese driver doesn't want to let his show end there. Sure enough, Ye Feng wanted to dig out the biggest of the car on the empty track after he was addicted to overtaking

Erqi was frightened. Australia Ye Feng stopped running like this, but Ye Feng soared the car to the extreme as if he hadn't heard it. And Ye Feng also found a pleasant feeling between extreme speed and cylinder explosion that he hadn't had for a long time......

As a result, the fastest title in this Spanish Grand Prix practice session is bound to fall on Ye Feng......

……

Ye Feng didn't say anything after returning to the garage, he just looked at Michael apologetically. The Aussie shrugged helplessly. The two have been together for so long, what kind of temper Ye Feng is, Michael naturally knows. In normal times, Michael thinks that no one is more right than Ye Feng to say the word "professional driver", and admires the professional ethics of this young man from the bottom of his heart.

And in the middle of the game. Ye Feng's instructions for the team are basically unconditionally implemented, and every execution will basically satisfy Michael, the commander. However, Michael knew that this guy Ye Feng would sometimes turn into a difficult horse to control, just like in the practice race just now, but whenever Ye Feng made him helpless, this kid would always deliver amazing results at the same time.

For such a driver, Michael thinks that he can't say anything bad about the other party, but on the contrary, Ye Feng is really the kind of genius that every team manager hopes for. So, this time Michael didn't say anything either. And in his heart, he actually understood Ye Feng's venting just now, this time was indeed too depressing. More importantly, Ye Feng's wild run just now made everyone clearly realize the strong potential contained in this F-28, which is not yet perfect, and also strengthened the determination of every Williams technician to continue to insist on technical improvement......

After witnessing Ye Feng's strong performance in the practice match. Every media reporter also keenly felt that Ye Feng might have a huge impact on the winning situation of this Spanish Grand Prix. Therefore, when Ye Feng came out of the locker room again, he was surrounded by a large number of media reporters for the first time this season. And in the face of everyone's indiscriminate bombardment, Ye Feng just said lightly:

Let's watch the game!

……

2006 513. A blazing sun shines on the entire Catalan circuit. The stands on the track are also crowded, and according to the current track organisers, the number of spectators is now less than 10,000 fewer than the track attendance record! You know, it's just a qualifying match! As you can imagine, tomorrow's race will definitely set a new attendance record at the Circuit de Catalonia!

When Alonso appeared in the sky-blue Renault car, the track erupted in deafening cheers! Almost everyone who comes here is cheering on their native heroes! However, it should be mentioned that it is precisely because of the resurgence of Ferrari and the king of cars this year that the Spanish fans have ignited their enthusiasm to watch the races. After all, one would rather see Alonso beat a Schumacher with the same quality and form.

However, I am afraid that this wish will have to be changed for the time being on the current track! Because there is one Chinese driver who has used yesterday's strong performance to send Alonso to the other 21 opponents, and now there is another opponent, that is, Ye Feng, who almost knocked him over last season.

This qualifying match was indeed filled with a strong smell of gunpowder from the beginning! However, the first to attract the attention of the audience was Raikkonen, who had not achieved anything in the first few races of the season! His appearance immediately improved the best time on the track by 0.6 seconds, giving enough psychological pressure to the opponents who came out behind.

Massa, who came out next, did not show weakness, and Ye Feng was out of the limelight in yesterday's practice session, so no one realized that the Brazilian kid was actually the second fastest driver in the practice session. Both Williams drivers look to be in very good form at the Spanish Grand Prix! After an almost perfect time lap, Massa improved Raikkonen's previous time by as much as 0.2 seconds.

Because it was only the first quarter of the game, the results of several key figures who appeared later were also close to Massa's. After knocking out a batch of slow cars, the second quarter of qualifying began.

In this section of the game, many masters did not play until 5 minutes after the game passed. Fischerav, who was teased by Ye Feng yesterday, occupied the top spot as soon as he appeared. However, he was soon surpassed by the likes of Alonso, Schumacher and Massa. That's when people began to realize that the race was going to be more intense than they had imagined. Now the only suspense is to see Ye Feng, who didn't play much in the first quarter. At this moment, Ye Feng's dark blue racing car finally appeared.

At this time, after almost all the drivers had already played the field, there was a relatively smooth track in front of Ye Feng, which was also the best time for Michael to intervene for Ye Feng. After running a lap on the track, Ye Feng, who had initially warmed up the car, rushed across the starting line like a tiger in an instant. Just like the impression of yesterday's game to the audience, Ye Feng's all-out gallop touched the nerves of every spectator.

Another impeccable timing lap, Ye Feng indisputably put his name at the top of the second stage of qualifying. And his current lead is so huge, so Ye Feng just ran such a timing lap and drove the car back to the garage. With Ye Feng's amazing move, the Spanish fans at the scene were also silent for a moment. Maybe Ye Feng may not be able to grab the pole position in the end, but his actions just now are arrogant enough! So arrogant that people have nothing to say. Now everyone hopes that Alonso will run another time lap to deal a good blow to Ye Feng's arrogance. The Spaniards were quick to comply, and as the second qualifying session entered the final three minutes, the drivers were back in action.

However, the result was frustrating for Spanish fans. It can't be said that Alonso didn't run fast, but he still ranked behind Ye Feng with a slight disadvantage. Now everyone regrets it again, thinking that Alonso should not have done it again. So Ye Feng also completed such a feat under everyone's complicated gaze, and easily and proudly advanced into the final third quarter decisive battle as the first.
