"1 minute 24 seconds 353, is this lap a joke? The track record is 1 minute 21 seconds 892! It seems that the slowest test lap in the past two days is nearly one second faster than the Chinese newcomer, right?"

"Haha, what exactly did the rookie who drives this kind of lap to enter F1? Is it a rich dad?"

"I haven't heard of Fei's rich dad. Maybe it's because of the sponsorship of China that gave the Prost team a lot of money. I heard that the Prost team is in financial difficulties."

"**, if I were the team boss, no matter how financially difficult it was, I would not let such a rookie enter the f1 team. It would be an insult to the identity of the f1 driver!"

"Yes, this is a little slower. If the f3000 drivers come to run, they will probably reach this lap speed."

Various ridicule and dissatisfaction sounded one after another, and many people were curious and witnessed the level of Chinese newcomers.

Unexpectedly, this Chinese newcomer who copied the "three-level jump" miracle and known as a genius driver is actually a complete parallel product!

I saw it slow, but I have never seen it so slow!

Compared with the ridicule of the team technicians, the drivers performed much better, and basically no one laughed at Zhang Yifei.

On the one hand, it is because of their driver's identity. After all, it is a very useless thing to publicly mock other drivers' driving skills. On the other hand, the skills of the F1 drivers are there, and they can see something deeper.

For example, although Zhang Yifei's lap speed is very slow, his routing is very accurate, which can be said to be a textbook-like curved routing. And as a newcomer who was the first test, he did not make any obvious mistakes after a lap, which is also a very surprising thing.

Logically speaking, Zhang Yifei has this kind of control ability, so he shouldn't be so slow. Could it be that it is because he dare not drive fast?

In the history of f1, only Amiyuri Iide was a weirdo who won the title of F3 and GT. He didn't dare to drive fast on the track. In the end, the FIA ​​couldn't stand his food and revoked his super driver's license.

But the question is that it is a question whether Aiji Iide has not yet entered the F1 team, and whether he will even enter the F1 team. Therefore, the team members on the scene couldn't believe it, and there were F1 drivers who did not dare to drive fast on the track.

"Xionglong, you are going to change your racing suit and go to the track. The Chinese guys are at this level and can't beat you."

Madu looked at Zhang Yifei's results, and his expression on his face showed a kind of hideousness because of excitement.

He had never expected that Zhang Yifei's performance on the F1 track would be so bad. You should know that when he was at Renault, Zhang Yifei was about to become a shadow of other drivers, and he was completely a crushing existence.

At that time, many media had already begun to call Zhang Yifei a genius driver. The "three-level jump" to enter F1 later made Madu, who wanted to take revenge, feel a deep despair because the gap between the two sides was too big.

To be honest, even if he urged Xiong Long to challenge, Madu was still unsure. After all, Xiong Long is also a new driver. Although his experience in f3 and f3000 is far superior to Zhang Yifei, the results of f1 do not depend on who participated in more competitions.

As a result, Zhang Yifei ran out of this garbage-level lap, and Xiong Long had full hope of defeat. Even Madu's mind began to yy, how should he humiliate the failed Chinese guy then!

Xiong Long did not expect that Zhang Yifei would only run out of this kind of lap, which made him reply confidently: "No problem, I will let Zhang Yifei understand who is the strongest Chinese driver."

After saying this, Xiong Long prepared to change into a racing suit and have a showdown with Zhang Yifei on the Catalonian track!

In the Prost team repair station, several members of the competition group were also a little surprised to see the actual lap speed on the screen, which was really slow.

Even Cosell, who had never spoken much, took the initiative to press the red call button and asked Zhang Yifei: "Fei, what's going on? Do you know how slow you ran just now?"

"Know."

Zhang Yifei didn't know how much lap speed, but he understood that his first lap was indeed slow.

"Give me a reason."

Cosell said something, he didn't think Zhang Yifei could be so slow.

"I am familiar with the track and I am not used to racing tuning, which is completely different from my style."

Zhang Yifei was able to drive faster just now, but he drove slowly. In addition to being familiar with the track and combining the simulator feel and memory with the current track, he was more about feeling the texture and tuning of the new racing car.

In terms of power, Zhang Yifei felt a big difference. After all, the simple data gap between 930p and 820p has exceeded 10%. For an F1 driver, even if it is one percent of the power difference, he can keenly feel it.

In addition, there are various adjustments. Alaisi was originally the "old" driver's style. In addition, in order to adapt to the engine that reduces power, his adjustment style is conservative and completely unsuitable for the violent driving style needed by Zhang Yifei.

After a number of reasons were added up, Zhang Yifei drove slowly. After all, this is not a race, nor is it a sign of creating track lap speed records. Judging from the name of the winter test, it is naturally necessary to test the racing car and feel the most subtle difference.

"Then what adjustment do you want?"

Cosell asked, he knew that Zhang Yifei would definitely not be able to adapt to Alessi's adjustment, but he wanted to know more about what kind of adjustment plan Zhang Yifei could come up with.

"The suspension spring frequency is soft. Although it reduces the difficulty of handling, the racing car does not respond quickly enough. In addition, the chassis is not low enough, the downforce is too high, and it becomes easy to control on the curves, and the extreme speed in the straight line is too slow."

The adjustment plan obtained by Zhang Yifei is almost exactly the opposite of Alessi before, and he hopes to drive more radically and violently.

"After three laps, enter the station and change it according to the adjustment style you request."

Cosell didn't say nonsense. Since Zhang Yifei felt dissatisfied, he would change the current racing adjustment according to his needs.

However, after hearing Cosell's decision, Henry spoke: "Racing is not the final form now. A tuning plan that is fully aggressive in style may occur, and some unpredictable accidents may also increase the risk of testing drivers."

"Fei is a newcomer and doesn't know that the winter test needs to be progressive, but you know, don't you give him some advice?"

Unexpectedly, Kossell didn't care about Henry's reminder at all, but replied in a disdainful tone: "If you can't even control the radical tuning style of 820p horsepower, then why are you a F1 driver?"

"Don't worry, Fei is a newcomer, but definitely not a rookie. He has the ability to control radical tuning styles."

To motivate Zhang Yifei, Cosell can say some "strike" words, but when others look at it from the perspective of a rookie, Cosell will never agree with it. The driver he coaches is definitely not a rookie!

Almost as Cosell finished speaking, Zhang Yifei's voice came from his headphones.

"By the way, the power of this car is not strong. I'll get back 890p horsepower when I get in the station. At least I can feel the full power state."

Zhang Yifei couldn't help but make another tuning suggestion, because the JS51 racing cars I drove before all have a standard power of 930p.

Originally, he still had high expectations for new racing cars, but thought that no matter what, he should be a little stronger than the old racing cars, right? Unexpectedly, the feeling of motivation was so weak!

Just like Zhang Yifei's previous view, enough does not mean refreshing, especially in a race against time like F1, a slight difference in motivation will be magnified very clearly.

Even before the arrival of Peugeot R&D engineers, they could only use the method of reducing parameters to ensure the stability of the event engine, but Zhang Yifei still wanted to experience the feeling of "full blood" js53 driving on the track.

"Can."

Kossel still gave a brief answer. Since he had agreed to modify and adjust, he might as well do it to the extreme.

After the second lap, Zhang Yifei's lap speed reached 1 minute 23 seconds 871, and his lap speed increased by nearly 0.5 seconds.

When this lap came out, although it was still at the bottom of the winter test of the Catalonian Circuit, the improvement speed was too fast, which surprised the team technicians who had ridiculed before.

But when Zhang Yifei came out at 1 minute 23 seconds 533 in the third lap, all the ridicule sounds came to an abrupt end. This lap is very close to this year's "New Army" team, such as Toyota, Renault and Jaguar's first test run results, which are almost the same as each other.

Moreover, other teams probably know the performance of Prost racing, and they are definitely not considered a "Rail Rover". Therefore, the ability to achieve such a result can only be attributed to the driver's personal strength.

You should know that this is the third lap. As the new drivers become more adapted to the track and racing performance, the lap speed will be a bigger breakthrough, which is definitely not Zhang Yifei's limit.

"**, can it be that the Chinese newcomer is really the next Kimi Raikkonen?"

"Kimmy has won points in her debut match. Is Fei so strong?"

"I don't know, but the performance is a bit strong. I think he can catch up with Kimi's first lap speed yesterday."

"It's really bizarre. This year, Prost racing has been full of troubles, and McLaren is also in trouble. It seems that they are really the fateful Gemini. If they meet them in the main race, they will definitely be very exciting."

“I think it will be wonderful, too.”

There were a lot of discussions in the repair station, and everyone was discussing the most well-known F1 newcomer in the past two years.

Even some famous drivers began to look at Zhang Yifei, curious about his crazy lap speed improvement.

But at this moment, many people found that there was an extra car on the track and were chasing Zhang Yifei desperately.

"Look at what's going on. Minardi racing came out of the repair lane, not like testing, but chasing the drivers flying?"

"There is a little sign that the car seems to be Minardi's new driver Xiong Long this year. Aren't he both hinese and Fei? Why do he feel like an enemy?"

"Hinese does not mean hina. Xiong Long is a Malaysian person. Maybe they have any grudges."

"There is a good show and a fight can reveal the true strength of a driver."

However, the expected good show did not happen. Just as Xiong Long was chasing him, Zhang Yifei drove into the maintenance channel in a race car, just like avoiding a war.

"No way, is the Chinese boy's previous reports very arrogant? He dare not respond to the challenge?"

"What does it mean to drive into a repair station? Did you admit defeat?"

"It's not that fast to admit defeat. Maybe it's adjustment or maintenance when entering the station?"

"Then you can get in the station just after just three laps, it feels like you're avoiding a fight."

Zhang Yifei on the track must have no idea about the outside of the field, but he saw the Minardi racing car chasing behind him.

No need to guess, Xiong Long must have driven this car, intending to "fight without declaration".

However, Zhang Yifei still followed the team's instructions and entered the station to adjust the system after the third lap. As for Xiong Long, he really didn't care about it. If this guy didn't give up and wanted to challenge him after he left the station, Zhang Yifei wouldn't be polite.
