455 Away

Kossel didn't care about Zhang Yifei's black expression. On the contrary, he really followed Zhang Yifei's suggestion and increased efforts to allow the team engineers to adjust the harder suspension.

Anyway, it's a practice competition now. Since this kid's request is as strong as possible, then he can meet his requirements and better test Zhang Yifei's acceptance limit.

Seeing that Kossel really adjusted the harder suspension as he asked, Zhang Yifei wanted to swallow the words just now. This old German man really made his arrangements clearly!

Everything is ready. When the safety car track patrol is over, the first practice race of the Interlagers Circuit will officially begin.

The various teams in the repair station start to start from P-rooms according to the dispatch of the track command center to avoid accidents caused by rushing up before the official competition begins.

Prost team did not let Alessi take the first move this time. After all, Zhang Yifei, who has two race experience, no longer needs a French veteran to help him with preliminary track road assessments. He can take on the task of track feedback.

When Zhang Yifei was waiting for the departure, Ferrari's Barrichello had already rushed onto the track first. His appearance made the audience excited. The loud sound of samba drums, even Zhang Yifei, who was waiting at the repair station, heard the "dong, dong, dong" sound and the neat shouts of the audience.

But he couldn't understand Portuguese, and didn't know what the audience was saying, but he could probably guess that it was a word like cheering up.

Zhang Yifei heard the shouting of the track, and Cosel naturally heard it. He suddenly said: "Don't be affected by any off-court factors during the competition. There is only the track and the opponent in his eyes."

Kossel has experienced several Brazilian events and knows that the fanaticism of this group of American spectators will have a sense of power to fight at home if they are supported. But once they face their hostility, the pressure they are under is also greater than that of other tracks.

When preparing for the game, Cosell had heard many audience members on the scene. They were verbal attacks on Zhang Yifei and the death threat brought by media reports. As a newcomer in the season, Cosell was worried that Zhang Yifei could not withstand such psychological pressure for the first time, so he gave a reminder.

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei smiled and said to Cosell: "The moment the helmet mask was put down, there was only racing left in my world, and no external factors could interfere with me."

"very good."

Cosel replied expressionlessly, which is also the difference between him and traditional coaches, that is, he will never be too comforted.

As a top professional driver, even if you want to race against Death at critical moments, you can’t stand it and retire, so as not to add another name to the list of F1 death drivers.

After Barrichello issued the car, McLaren's Cooterhard and Williams's Montoya began to start in turn. After all, this is the current F1 Big Three teams. Regardless of whether there is an official ranking or not, these three teams have indeed set the next level for other teams, and are in the first echelon, and often enjoy some priority conditions.

Because the biggest profit point of the F1 event is the event copyright sold worldwide, the attention of top teams and popular drivers will bring more benefits. In addition, this is Brazil's home court, allowing local drivers and American drivers to debut first, which is also the usual practice of the F1 organization.

Sure enough, when the two most influential drivers in the Americas appeared, the Brazilian and Colombian fans who came to watch the game today were even more excited, and the atmosphere of the practice competition was improved to a higher level.

In the Prost team repair station, the car has also started ignition. Zhang Yifei looked at the starting lights on the repair channel. When it turned green, it means that the repair channel can pass safely.

"Brother Fei, come on!"

"Fly, let the miracle continue to be staged."

"Fly, conquer Brazil!"

The team members also knew the pressure that Zhang Yifei might face in Brazil, and cheered him up when he left.

Faced with the cheering of the team members, Zhang Yifei also smiled and gestured to show him an OK gesture, indicating that he was fine!

The green light lit up, Zhang Yifei stepped down the accelerator, and the S53 racing car rushed out of the repair station and entered the repair channel.

Now Zhang Yifei is used to the "violent" starting method, which is why when taking the driver's license, he will subconsciously step on the accelerator because it will speed up faster.

The Interlagers maintenance channel is still at a standard 0k/h. When the blue Prost car drove out of the maintenance, the samba drums that had previously resounded across the track stopped instantly, and replaced by various whistles.

It is obvious that the American audience who attended today were very dissatisfied with Zhang Yifei, and they were expressing their attitude.

Zhang Yifei, who was driving a racing car, only the roaring sound of the track in front of him and the engine beside him, and was not affected by the off-field factors at all. In fact, this is not a psychological quality of turning a blind eye to the outside world. Instead, facing the engine noise comparable to that of a jet passenger plane when it takes off, even if Zhang Yifei wants to pay attention, he is powerless.

The only thing he could feel was that the samba dancers who had "singed and danced" in the stands before, all stopped their movements, and the lively stands became deserted in an instant.

"Take his mother! The hostility of these Brazilians is greater than that of the Australians before."

Ah Hu, who was repairing the parking space, felt the change in the atmosphere of the track and couldn't help but complain to Chen Zhi.

In the opening game of Australia, those Australians were more arrogant. Formula racing, which had long dominated by white people, gave them a natural sense of superiority. Facing Zhang Yifei, who wanted to challenge the white driver, he naturally showed a kind of contempt and irony.

But the feeling of Brazil's station is different. They are more organized, just like they are discussing well, and they are targeting Zhang Yifei in the stands. This feeling is quite like away games in basketball and football, and it is also the away games of opposing teams, and the hostility is more obvious.

"I just want to find a soft persimmon to establish my power, but they will kick it on the iron plate."

Chen Zhi said disdainfully, in his opinion, Brazil is a ruined house in the racing kingdom. He once stood at the peak, but in the end he was no one after another.

Now that Barrichello's appearance has become their hope, the fragile self-esteem wants to make Barrichello a top-level driver's image and not allow others to provoke or despise.

As a result, Zhang Yifei stepped on this red line, which made them feel unacceptable. A Chinese rookie who won the third place in the branch, why do you think he can challenge Barrichello?

After all, no matter how much a Brazilian driver says, his "ancestor" has been brilliant and has a name for a dilapidated house. What do you have in Chinese drivers? Historical achievements are zero, and the desert of Formula racing is not even qualified for poor households!

So they feel that they are qualified to mock Zhang Yifei, and at the same time they want to use Zhang Yifei to establish their authority and let the world see what the outcome will be if they look down on Brazilian drivers!

"Hehe, that's right, Brother Fei is not that easy to pinch."

Ah Hu smiled silly at this time. As the number one horseman, he had a blind confidence in Zhang Yifei, and Zhang Yifei was invincible!

Zhang Yifei on the track, after using the maintenance channel, he stepped on the floor oil to the bottom.

Because the exit of the maintenance passage is just the long straight area of ​​the track, the vehicle speed can be increased to a speed of 300k/h at 7 gears.

This is why there are frequent crashes in the maintenance exit of the Interrages track, because the long straight road causes the speed to be too fast, and the width of the maintenance exit section is narrow. When suddenly facing a racing car that comes out of the maintenance passage, it is like the "ghost probe" effect on the road, and many drivers can't react at all.

In 2003, in order to avoid another serious accident in the maintenance export, under the joint protests of the team and drivers, the Interrages Circuit finally widened this track and made the race safer.

Regarding the Interlagers track, Zhang Yifei has driven on the racing simulator many times, but this is the first time he has actually driven up. As soon as he entered the long straight, Zhang Yifei understood what a bump means!

Kossel chose the hardest suspension, which made the S53 racing car have almost no shock filtering effect on rough road surfaces. Zhang Yifei could clearly feel the fine vibration caused by the wheels when they contact the road surface.

Especially at super high speeds, when encountering those particularly rough sections of road, Zhang Yifei can even feel his body trembling!

The reason why the Interlagers track is so bumpy is actually simpler than many people think. That is, Brazil is a pit that is more important than the country. It has been used for decades to replace the asphalt of an F1 track. The usual track maintenance is also a mess, which naturally leads to poor road conditions.

This bumpy and "brained" track condition was not improved until the asphalt was re-layed in 2007. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that South American countries like Brazil and Argentina will become worse and worse as they develop. This efficiency in handling things is simply outrageous!

After running this long straight at high speed, Zhang Yifei felt a little regretful in his heart, considering whether he would give Kossel a feedback on the issue of the strong suspension through the team voice.

However, thinking about his "bold words" before he left the car, it was a bit too embarrassing to admit defeat before he even finished the technical test circle. Moreover, the speed increase brought by the long straight hard suspension is also an advantage that Zhang Yifei is unwilling to give up easily.

Just as Kossel said before the race, Prost car's weak power is very disadvantageous in speeding up the long straight. If it is replaced with soft suspension, it may be a racing car that can even eat itself in the long straight.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yifei finally didn't choose to give feedback. Compared to the pressure on his body, he prefers the pleasure brought by speed!
