359 What a big heart

After hearing Charlie's explanation, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi were surprised. After all, they were both considered "country buns" before, and they couldn't even figure out how Asian countries were, let alone distant Australia.

If Zhang Yifei heard Charlie's words, he would definitely show his agreement. He, from later generations, naturally knew Australia's inexplicable hostility towards China, so it is not surprising that this kind of performance was performed in the audience today.

However, these booing and overturning lottery are completely worth mentioning for Zhang Yifei, and even a slight psychological fluctuation cannot be triggered. After all, when he was a pure rookie, he withstood the accusation of "public enemy of the track", and today this can only be regarded as a small scene.

In the first test circle, Zhang Yifei did not pursue speed, but instead slowed down his speed to feel the racing adaptation to the track.

After completing the technical test lap, Zhang Yifei took 2 minutes, 43 seconds, 21 seconds, and this lap speed was almost twice the normal track lap speed. Compared with other drivers' test lap speeds of 2 minutes, 10 seconds, Zhang Yifei is still much slower.

When Zhang Yifei's lap appeared, even though many people in the stands understood that this was just a test lap, they still mocked: "Does Chinese rookies drive classic cars on the track? This is the slowest lap in the Albert Park track, right?"

"I just said that Chinese guys are not good, and they even want to challenge all the drivers at the meeting?"

"Fortunately, there is no way to take stimulants in the racing car, otherwise this guy would have to eat it according to the bottle, otherwise he would not be able to run fast at lap, haha!"

All kinds of sarcastic voices came from the stands, which made the Chinese audience sitting beside him feel very confused. Why do you feel that these Australians are targeting Zhang Yifei?

Although I don't understand why, it still doesn't prevent them from feeling angry.

"Don't let it go, what are you talking about?"

A Northeastern man finally couldn't help but fight back, it was normal to run slowly in the test circle, why are you yelling?

"Take your mother! The stimulants are all out. Are you so happy?"

"Damn it, I guess I feel so sad when I see that the top drivers in China are about to appear!

"Yes, even I understand the test circle, how can they not understand?"

Finally, the domestic audience expressed everyone's voice. You should know that China has not even started TV broadcasting, let alone F1 events, even TV broadcasting has not started. Even twenty years later, except for online platforms, broadcasting basically will not broadcast any practice competitions, so it is difficult for ordinary people to know that the practice competitions are divided into test circles and timing circles.

Now even Chinese audiences are not excited by the lap. These ghosts are obviously making trouble!

However, it is almost like talking about a chicken and a duck, just to make a fuss.

Zhang Yifei on the track is not affected by these off-field factors at this moment, nor can he be affected by these off-field factors, because the noise of the engine is no less than the engine sound of a jet aircraft when it is running at full speed.

When wireless communication was underdeveloped in the early years, if a fleet wanted to communicate with the driver, they had to wait until the driver entered the station, and plug a call cable into the helmet's interface just like a landline phone line.

This is how to avoid the impact of engine noise on the transmission of team commands, otherwise it would be a waste of time to take off the helmet after entering the station. Therefore, any noise on the sidelines is silent for the drivers while driving, and it is a hell to hear it.

However, there is another advantage of Albert Park Raceway, that is, the distance between the audience and the track is very close, so the on-site feeling is particularly strong. In addition, a circular perimeter route has been built outside the protective wall, so that the audience can walk to different observation points and feel the shock brought by different locations, which is beyond the reach of other tracks.

So when you get close to the audience, as long as Zhang Yifei looks at the guardrail, you can see some physical movements of the audience.

The speed of the test circle was relatively slow, which really made Zhang Yifei see some viewers and gesture at him. This scene made Zhang Yifei feel a little murmur. He seemed to have not done anything that was angry and resented the scene of the Monza and Hoganheim track in the past?

"Cosell, are there many spectators on the track today who are dissatisfied with me?"

Zhang Yifei asked Cosell in convoy voice, but his question made the person wearing headphones in the repair station look a little complicated and a little embarrassed.

It seems that there is no driver yet. The test circle does not provide racing feedback, but talks about these sideline news.

Should we praise the Chinese boy for his big heart, and he still pays attention to the movements of the audience outside the field in the first practice game. Should we criticize Zhang Yifei and focus more on the current track feedback?

"Yifeijun always gives you something unexpected in extremely nervous moments."

At this time, Junko Takeda muttered to Yamamoto Ukyo next to her. Now neither of them has the right to track fairy tales, but they can still hear the voice communication of the team.

"This is good at least means that Yifeijun has not been affected by off-field factors."

Yamamoto Ukyo replied with a rare smile. Compared to Zhang Yifei's "real ears at the outside of the window", Yamamoto Ukyo, who was standing outside the paddock, heard a lot of comments from the audience's stands.

This kind of scene has not appeared on the track for a long time, and today it is Zhang Yifei's debut in the F1 event. Yamamoto Ukyo was still a little worried at first whether Zhang Yifei could not withstand the pressure.

But now it seems that Zhang Yifei didn't take it seriously at all. Not to mention any pressure, he didn't even have a embarrassed attitude, so he asked in the convoy's voice publicly.

"I'm dissatisfied with you, but have you never seen such a scene?"

Kossel's voice sounded without any sense, and he admitted it very simply and rudely. Many viewers at the scene were hostile to Zhang Yifei because he was a Chinese driver.

"Of course I've seen it, and I've seen it even more spectacular than this."

Zhang Yifei responded in a relaxed tone. Objectively speaking, the number of people who mocked today is much more spectacular than the Renault Formula.

After all, when the most audiences of Formula Renault were only 10,000, and the Albert Park track could accommodate 80,000 people. Even if today was just a practice game, the number of spectators present was estimated to be 40,000 to 50,000. At least at first glance, it was not an exaggerated adjective.

Many supporters of Zhang Yifei came from China from thousands of miles away, but in terms of absolute numbers, they are definitely far inferior to the local Australian audience.

If it were placed in the European track, Zhang Yifei's popularity has soared now, and the supporters can at least open 55. However, Zhang Yifei's first time in the Australian track, and he is still a pure newcomer in F1, so Zhang Yifei's answer to Cosel was more of a stubborn word.

But Kossel didn't care about this, instead he admitted Zhang Yifei's statement.

"Since you have seen more spectacular things, it's just a small scene now. Collect track data carefully and submit feedback from the driver."

"clear."

Zhang Yifei also put away his mentality of watching the noise. The first two laps can be slowly, but the entire test laps cannot be spent slowly. It is necessary to test the car's adaptability to the track at different speeds.

No driver can guarantee that he can pay attention to the outside of the field with all his heart at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, even Schumacher and Senna cannot do it!

During the second lap test, Zhang Yifei began to pass on some of his feelings about the track to Cosell of the repair station, asking him to record with chief technician Charlie, and wait until he enters the station to do a debugging.

"Cosell, I don't think the grip of the hard tires in the curve is enough, and the zigzag high-speed curve feels like the car is a little floating."

"I understand, let's talk about the tire replacement in the next two practice games."

Kossel just recorded it and did not decide on the replacement of tires.

Because using different tires will affect the entire pit-stop layout of the fleet strategy group.

From the difference between hard to soft tires, the strategy group can choose one stop, two stop, and three stop tactics. Even in extreme cases, if the driver is extremely confident, he can choose to replace the super soft tire and use the four stop tactics to surpass his opponent.

In the later F1 French station, Schumacher left a wonderful four-stage tactic in history and successfully won the sub-station championship. Therefore, the tires are basically placed in the final test and decision, otherwise all tactical plans will be changed.

"I feel that I am fast enough in the corner, so I give up the middle and lower pressure and choose high and lower pressure adjustment."

"The gear ratio of the gearbox is focused on acceleration as much as possible. I feel that there are not many long straight sections of the Albert Park Raceway, and it is very likely that the racing speed will not be able to be played."

“It feels a little uncomfortable with the suspension, without the roll of low-speed cornering, and should be more inclined toward rider stance than racing steering response.”

While running, Zhang Yifei expressed his feelings about the Albert Park Raceway.

After 8 days of F1 winter test, this time cannot be said to be very long, but Zhang Yifei has brought a lot of experience and growth. At least he has gradually become familiar with js53 racing and has adapted to the rules of racing adjustment.

In fact, I have to thank Alaisi for many of the adjustment methods and choices, Zhang Yifei learned and imitated Alaisi in the team's voice.

Later, Zhang Yifei gradually understood why the team had even had a stalemate last season, but Prost insisted on keeping Alessi.

It is because Alessi, as a French veteran, has rich racing experience. He can not only complete racing adjustments better and faster, but also pass these experiences into the minds of newcomers who are influenced by them.

As long as you are willing to listen and study carefully, you can make faster progress.
