"I know, the hero Senna."

Zhang Yifei said the half sentence that he had remembered deeply, and Masa saved the tragedy later.

After all, the history of this world has changed, and no one knows whether the scene in 2008 will continue to happen. Even if it is staged, Masa is still in the f3000 at the moment, and it will not be able to enter the Sauber team as early as next year, which is still far from it.

"Just know."

After saying that, Cosel handed the track information in his hand to Zhang Yifei, and then said: "Go and conquer it!"

Kossel's rare and straightforward statement made Zhang Yifei conquer a track because the significance of the Interlagers track to him is more important than that of other tracks.

After all, he was here, witnessing the peak of Senna that year and the crazy and glorious era of Brazilian racing.

Senna has passed away, but the racing spirit will never pass away. Zhang Yifei is Corsell's hope. He wants to see the Chinese boy recreate Senna's glory on the Interlagers track.

It would be great if this Brazilian Grand Prix could still rain heavily. Senna relied on two rain battles to become famous from a newcomer to a peak of his career.

Since Zhang Yifei has copied Kimi Raikkonen's miracle, let him create another miracle and become Senna.

Zhang Yifei felt Corsell's expectations for him, but he didn't know what was thinking in Corsell's mind.

If he knew, he would definitely choose to refuse!

Because from the beginning, Zhang Yifei never thought about who he would be the second. This person would not be Kimi Raikkonen, nor would it be Elton Senna. He just wanted to be the first of his own. When others cheer in the future, he would always be the Chinese car god Zhang Yifei!

After receiving the thick racing information, Zhang Yifei went to the team's hotel, and the racing simulators were installed in a special room in the hotel.

When Zhang Yifei entered, Alessi was conducting racing simulation training. Although he was quite familiar with the Interlagers track, he had to come here to participate every year.

But this time it has different meanings for Alessi. He does not want to be a escort and passerby anymore, but plans to impact the points zone or even the podium.

As a F1 veteran, he has rich competition experience, but he should have outstanding competition results. Especially when Zhang Yifei's performance is so outstanding, whether for his own dignity or the pride of the veteran, Alaisi doesn't want to be dumped too far.

Zhang Yifei did not disturb Alaisi's training, but quietly sat in the racing simulator and started his own training. He planned to first get familiar with the track and see how he ran, and then compare the racing routes set by Kossel and choose the best route for the race at that time.

After getting started running on the simulator for a while, Zhang Yifei instantly understood why there was such a thick stack of racing road maps.

Because the complexity of the Interlagers track is indeed a bit beyond Zhang Yifei's imagination, many sections of road width are particularly narrow, almost the same as the two lanes of ordinary township roads. This is undoubtedly a great challenge for the choice of overtaking routes.

Not only is the track narrow, but the entrances and exits of the maintenance passage are very narrow, which means that the drivers returning to the track from the exit will easily collide with the drivers who are normally racing on the track.

If you don't choose the right time to leave the station and encounter several racing cars passing in a row, it may take 1 to 2 seconds to leave a repair channel. For the F1 event, this meaningless waste of time is simply unacceptable.

Another point is that under the current technology level, the racing simulator cannot perfectly simulate the real feeling on the track. However, Zhang Yifei can already experience the impact of the bumpy and uneven track on the spine.

At this time, the requirements for the tuning of the suspension are very high. The harder the suspension, the stronger the air grip, which is suitable for high-speed tracks. However, when there are many corners and inclinations, the speed cannot be increased, and the downforce brought by the air is not enough.

Therefore, the team will choose to adjust the soft suspension to obtain more mechanical grip and improve the driver's cornering speed.

Although the Interlagers track is narrow and there are many curves, it actually has two long straights and many high-speed curves. Then, the low-speed sharp curves are concentrated in one-third of the track.

This track layout is equivalent to forming two extremes. Whether it is to choose hard suspension or soft suspension, it seems that it is not very suitable. However, under normal circumstances, the team will make a choice. Highway sections occupy most of the tracks, so they choose a hard adjustment plan.

But it is not so easy to make choices in the Interlagers track. The rough road surface is very stressful to the driver's body. The bumps of the hard suspension may take one or two hours of race. With the high temperature and humid climate, the driver may not be able to withstand it.

This kind of inability to withstand is not the kind of exhaustion in the conventional sense, if you don’t have the body, you have to withdraw from the competition or something. But for high-intensity and high-precision events like F1, if your body and mental state are slightly worse, you may be crushed by your opponent.

f1 is a very greedy event for drivers, and teams must consider the driver's physical acceptance.

Choosing a soft suspension can relieve some bumps, which will be less stressful to the driver's body, but it is not as fast as the hard suspension. So this is a very tangled thing. Even Zhang Yifei himself is not easy to make a decision, and it is even more difficult for the team to give up.

It’s very difficult to consider, Zhang Yifei simply stopped thinking about it. Leave this kind of thing to the team strategy group to weigh their worries. Anyway, what solution they give at that time, just go up and run by themselves. If there is any problem, it’s the blame for the team strategy group!

After running a few laps on the simulator, Zhang Yifei suddenly felt that the track had an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Theoretically, it was his first time to come to Brazil, and it was his first time to come into contact with the Interlagers track. He hadn't even made a few trips to China in his previous life. How did this familiarity come about?

After a while of doubt, Zhang Yifei suddenly remembered that he had played a game called "Running Kart" in later generations. Isn't there a map of Zhang Intragos Raceway?

But no one went to explore at that time. Why was that map called the Interlagers Circuit? I would never think of it. This is Brazil's F1 Circuit.

Although playing games and running the track on the computer is completely different from running the track on the simulator now, and there is no such thing as drifting. However, the game map, based on the Interlagers track, added layouts such as stands and repair stations. These locations and locations are the same as those on the simulator.

So after Zhang Yifei ran a few laps, this sense of familiarity appeared. Unexpectedly, in his previous life, he ran across the Interrages track on his computer.

However, after comparing Zhang Yifei's memory, in addition to the gameplay, the track layout is still different from reality in addition to the reality.

I just don’t know whether these differences are due to the track reconstruction or the modifications during the map production. Of course, no matter which reason is, even if it is exactly the same, it will not help you to open F1 now, and it can only be regarded as a small surprise.

Zhang Yifei spent about half an hour training on the simulator. After gaining a preliminary understanding of the current Interrages track, he stopped his simulation training.

He plans to combine the track information given to him by Cosell to see how big the gap between "blind running" and theoretical data is, so that he can better compare his own routing accuracy.

However, when he took off his headphones, he accidentally discovered that Alessi had finished racing simulator training and was standing behind him.

"When will I come back?"

Alessi still had that lukewarm tone.

However, compared to the embarrassing state that was basically nothing to say before, at least now Alessi would choose to say hello on his own initiative, which is a breakthrough.

"I came back in the morning, went to the track and took a look, and then started training with the simulator."

"Um."

Alaixi nodded and planned to turn around and leave. He knew that Zhang Yifei didn't have much time to conduct simulation training. And as a newcomer in this year's F1 season, the Chinese boy is also running the Interrages track for the first time, so he won't waste time.

Seeing Alaixi about to walk out of the room, Zhang Yifei suddenly thought of something and said.

"Alessi, what suspension adjustment do you think I choose when I am at the Interlagus track?"

Zhang Yifei was still worried about this problem before, but after seeing Alaisi, he suddenly realized that this was the best consultant?

To put it simply, Alessi is the most experienced person in Prost with the current F1 track, even surpassing Cosel and Prost.

Because Cosell has been away from the F1 track for nearly ten years, he planned to retire with peace of mind, run his own small golf course, and live a pastoral life. It is impossible for him to study various tracks according to his professional intensity every year.

Prost was once a legendary driver, but now he has been the team owner for five years. How to run the entire team is what a boss should do, rather than studying what track.

If the boss has to do everything himself, then what does the competition engineer and the strategy team do?

The f1 track is not static. It may only take one major change every year, but minor changes will basically occur every year.

Take the Interrages Track as an example. The exit of Turn 4 has a new double-layer shoulder installed. If you want to borrow the shoulder of Turn 4 to make a bend, you must reconsider the shoulder height and the strength of the racing suspension.

The section of Turn 14 has been repaved, and the grip has been improved a lot, allowing the cornering to bend at a more aggressive speed.

There are also many extra grooves on some sections of the road, which can improve drainage during rain battles, which means that the track's grip is improved and the rain battles can be faster.

These small changes and details affect the speed of the event. Alessi runs on this track every year, so he is definitely the best candidate to answer this question!

“You choose the hard suspension.”

"Why?"

Zhang Yifei asked curiously, but Alaixi gave the answer directly without any hesitation, which surprised him.

"Young people are in good health and can withstand bumps."

After saying this, Alessi turned around and left.

Now it was Zhang Yifei's turn to be a little confused. Damn, is this Alessi's suggestion or a joke made by the Frenchman?
Chapter completed!
