358 Accidental Bounce

Listening to Zhang Yifei saying these words, the unexpected expression on Alaixi's face became stronger.

You should know that Heidfield, whom he partnered last season, was also a newcomer driver who ran the F1 event for the first time. In the outside world's impression, he is far less arrogant and arrogant than the Chinese boy, and he can be regarded as a regular newcomer.

As a result, Zhang Yifei was far less arrogant and modesty in the convoy. When faced with some of his words, he showed an unconvincing attitude.

Of course, some of Alessi's words are either sarcastic or sarcastic, and are very consistent with some of the French characteristics. As a young and passionate young driver, it is normal for Hydefield to be unable to stand these remarks.

The final situation is that the two people are dissatisfied with each other, and everything they say is a little bit of gunpowder. In addition, the various racing failures are withdrawn from the race, which becomes the fuse between the two people.

When it burns at a glance, drying stand becomes the best solution.

Fortunately, this is an internal team fight, and no one has the nerve to complain about anything. Otherwise, the frequency of the two of them fighting is estimated to be 30% of the finishing rate. The penalty and suspension can turn the two people into spectators in the stands.

"By the way, you haven't said why you should help me?"

Zhang Yifei asked again, he was not very used to accepting help from unfamiliar people.

"There aren't so many reasons, it's purely for Prost team, don't be dragged by you, a rookie."

This made Zhang Yifei laugh. Alessi may have forgotten something. Whether it was the team match or the F1 winter test, the French veteran lost to him.

When it comes to who will drag you down, it is obvious that Alessi is more likely to be more likely than herself.

Of course, for the sake of helping him in the front, Zhang Yifei did not express these thoughts clearly, otherwise it would be very likely to stimulate the self-esteem of the French veteran.

Not to mention the scene of dry-raised restrooms again, at least the relationship between the two of them will drop to freezing point again. After all, there will be almost a year left to spend together. Zhang Yifei doesn't want to face the embarrassment of a Sima face every time he is in the lounge. This is simply a kind of mental torture.

At this moment, the leader Henry knocked in and looked at Zhang Yifei and said to Alessi: "The training race will begin soon. You can come to the maintenance station to prepare."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei and Alaisi stood up almost at the same time, then took the racing helmet hanging on the wall and went from the lounge to the front repair station.

At this moment, both racing cars have completed maintenance and adjustment, waiting for Zhang Yifei and Alaisi to test on the track.

When Cosell saw Zhang Yifei coming, he spoke to him: "Your car has been completely adjusted according to the requirements of the Albert Park Raceway. It has been replaced with neutral tires and the hardest brakes, and has used aerodynamic conditions of medium and high down pressure to ensure the grip of the curve."

"In addition, because the track may wear tires, especially the rear wheel loss, I adjusted the brake force of the rear wheel. Now the brake ratio of the front and rear wheels is 56:44. At that time, the brake ratio will be fine-tuned based on the tire wear after the practice game."

"Yeah, I get it."

Zhang Yifei nodded. Now all racing adjustments are adjusted by the competition engineers based on their own experience and the team's racing data in previous years.

This is just a preliminary adjustment and does not necessarily adapt to the new racing car and the driver himself. Therefore, the final adjustment of the competition requires three practice competitions, and the final adjustment decision will be made based on feedback from the track attributes.

Zhang Yifei was ready to start, and on the other hand, Alessi also finished communicating with his competition engineer Cod, and began to cover his helmet and prepare to sit in the car for the first round of practice competition of the Australian Grand Prix.

The first round of practice races at Albert Park Raceway is from 10:00 to 1:30 on Friday morning, which takes a total of one and a half hours. However, the practice race time is not fixed, but the practice race time will also be changed accordingly depending on the geographical location of each track.

At the same time, there are many different aspects of practice competitions from qualifying and main competitions, that is, practice competitions start from the maintenance station and do not force drivers to start at the same time. At the same time, there are no rigid regulations on the driver's entry, exit time, or even how many laps they have run.

All F1 drivers can freely enter and exit the track for racing tests based on their team's suggestions and strategies.

Generally speaking, there are two situations for entering and leaving the track of the practice competition, namely the technical inspection circle and the timing circle.

As the name suggests, the technical inspection circle is to conduct a systematic inspection of the racing power system, transmission system, aerodynamic kit, etc. on the track, and then pass the feedback to the repair station, so that the team can complete the adjustment of the racing car according to the driver's requirements.

Therefore, the technical inspection circle does not pursue speed. It is common for the technical inspection circle to run more than two minutes.

The timing lap is better understood. When the technical testing lap is almost the same, after entering the station and adjusting, you naturally have to experiment on the track to see how fast you can run. At this time, the track lap speed starts to be timed, and there will even be driver lap speed rankings.

From the lap ranking, the audience can also understand the driver's strength and racing performance in advance.

Of course, this ranking is not an absolute difference between strength and weakness, and can only serve as a reference. A top-ranked main competition may not necessarily win the championship, but it is likely that it will not be at the bottom or anything else.

Those who rank low are basically some uncompetitive drivers and teams, and the test drivers may also be running.

For example, Ma Qinghua, the first Chinese driver to enter F1, once represented the HRT and Carterham teams, and ran through the F1 official practice race.

It's just a pity that Ma Qinghua's two practice competitions were a bit terrible. Take the Italian Monza Track practice competition, which he participated for the first time in 12 years. Facing Schumacher, who was already considered an "old" driver at the time, he was 5.817 seconds behind.

The problem is nothing. Schumacher ran the fastest lap of all drivers in that practice race, and was still acceptable to fall behind first place.

The one who really made Ma Qinghua not cross the threshold of the F1 test driver was that he was second to last place at the time, and that was his hrt teammate De La Rosa, who was almost 2 seconds away!

The last one can be behind the second to last two seconds, which is really a huge level and is completely unable to reach the passing line of the official driver of F1.

In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed for Ma Qinghua's lack of strength. After all, he is too behind at the starting line. In order to support his Formula Training, he even has to participate in some RV events from time to time to make money subsidies.

In this case, it is already very difficult to stick to your dream of Formula Racing, and it is really difficult to achieve good results.

Two green lights on the maintenance passage are on, which means that the driver can start the train. If the red light is on, it means that a racing car is passing through. In order to avoid racing accidents, racing cars are prohibited from driving out of the repair station at this time.

After the green light came on, Zhang Yifei was not in a hurry to start, because there was no driver in the qualifying race, and he would run a class for an hour, so he would not have the physical strength to support the official competition.

Therefore, the normal qualifying races are always in this one and a half hours, and they will finish work after about twenty laps. The racing car has not been adjusted well and may exceed 25 laps. Drivers who are adapting to the fast can only need 15 laps to complete the first round of practice.

After putting on the phone headphones, Zhang Yifei took a big sip of water to replenish the water cup handed over by Junko Takeda. Before he could bring his helmet, the violent roar of the engine was heard next to him. French veteran Alessi could no longer hold back and rushed out of the repair station to start his own practice match.

Is this a dead tree springing? French veterans are so passionate?

Zhang Yifei looked at Alaisi who was taking the lead in the test, muttered and started putting on his helmet.

As soon as he was ready to drive, the four technicians got the soft tire blanket covered by the tire. At the same time, Ah Hu brought the ignition system and intervened in the switch at the rear of the racing car, and Zhang Yifei ignited it.

The exhaust sound of "boom!" echoed in the small space of the repair station, which made everyone present feel a little heart trembling.

He hung the first gear, loosened the clutch, and started to replenish the oil. Because he drove out of the P room, Zhang Yifei did not start the competition, and did something like the start of the competition to speed up the floor oil down. In addition, this was a technical detection circle, so he slowly started and drove out of the P room and entered the maintenance channel.

When Zhang Yifei drove onto the track, there were small applause and cheers at the beginning, and then a more violent inverted sound suddenly appeared, which seemed to be not very welcoming to Zhang Yifei.

Zhang Yifei in the racing car naturally couldn't hear these inverted sounds under the engine noise, the isolation of the helmet and the headphones. However, standing in the repair station, Ahu and Chen Zhi, who were looking forward to Zhang Yifei's performance, heard the booing sounds from the stands.

This scene surprised the two of them. You should know that the last time Zhang Yifei cheered was mainstream, it was at the Hoganheim track in Germany. Because of the joint accusations of the drivers, Zhang Yifei was known as the "public enemy of the track". The audience naturally was not happy with this kind of Chinese driver who appeared in unknown places.

However, as Zhang Yifei showed his strength on the track, this situation was reversed. After all, competitive sports events worship champions and strong people more!

Logically speaking, Zhang Yifei has performed well recently, and may have a gap with some strong drivers in F1 in terms of absolute strength. However, among new drivers in the past two years, it is completely "outstanding", so there should not be such inverted color and booing.

"Brother Zhi, what's going on? Why are the audience hostile to Brother Fei?"

"I don't know, was it because of the driver's meeting? But Yifei didn't say anything. This is much lower-key than some of Renault's previous remarks."

Chen Zhi was also confused at this moment. He felt that even if the Australian audience did not support Zhang Yifei, there was no need to be hostile to Zhang Yifei, right?

The conversation between the two of them was heard by Charlie, the chief technician on the side. He shrugged and said frankly: "Don't you know that Australia is one of the most anti-China countries? Under this background, with the speeches at the Fei meeting, it would be normal for the audience to show hostility."
