After talking about suspension tuning issues, Kossel began to talk about tire issues.

"When the racing car entered the station, I looked at the tire wear, which was a little more serious than I thought. If you use soft tires or super soft tires, you may have a more extreme situation without protecting the tires, which is like a more extreme situation."

"But the average time for entering the Interlagers track is as high as 18.195 seconds, which is one of the longest tracks in F1. The 4-stage tactic brings too much pressure to catch up. Judging from the current track situation in flight, he can encounter very radical challenges."

"So I decided to use a mixture of soft tires and neutral tires and use the standard 3-stage tactic."

After Cosell finished speaking, he glanced at the members of the strategy group in the lounge for a while, and no one raised any objections.

Because everyone knows that the provocation in the practice game is just the beginning, especially when Barrichello won, he broke the image of a super newcomer standing up at the last stop by Zhang Yifei.

This will also cause other drivers to have some ideas, that is, they can defeat Zhang Yifei at the Interlagers track like Barrichello.

You should know that although Zhang Yifei is now known as a newcomer, his amazing performance in the first two stops, coupled with the pre-match interview of Sports Illustrated, directly pushed his popularity to a peak.

In terms of fame and influence alone, it is not inferior to some of the mid- and downstream veterans in the current paddock.

He is famous and a newcomer, and he has been defeated just now, so he probably has a bad mood. At this moment, Zhang Yifei is the best stepping stone. Not only other newcomers want to take him and prove himself, but even some veterans are ready to take Zhang Yifei into action.

Montoya of Williams' team is the best example. Seize the opportunity to crush Zhang Yifei and he will become a super newcomer in the new season.

Even after the season, with good overall results, coupled with the influence of Williams and Indy champions, it is not necessarily true that it will become a super star.

Kossel has seen too many similar things, so he directly said that Zhang Yifei may encounter radical challenges, and the fetal protection tactics are not so easy to implement.

"I'll talk about racing adjustment and main strategies for now. Next is the problem of flying's routing just now."

Kossel changed a topic and began to talk about Zhang Yifei's control.

"There is a problem that has been exposed in these few laps today, which is that it is flying too much to pursue the sword and go astray, which often leads to the fact that even the most basic lanes cannot be perfect, and there are certain errors in the circles."

"If you can definitely win by relying on the sword and taking a different approach, then this route is not called a different approach, but a regular route. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Cosel's eyes locked Zhang Yifei's gaze. Now this kid is a bit too superstitious about unconventional routes and always thinks that unexpected routes are the fastest.

In fact, the regular route is the most stable route summarized by countless drivers, and it reaches the balance between speed and safety. Many times, taking unconventional routes may be a little faster when passing corners.

However, when going out of the corner, not passing through the apex point perfectly can lead to the overall speed not as fast as imagined.

Generally speaking, this kind of unconventional route is used to overtake more often. If you really use it for daily use, there will be too many risks and uncertain factors, and it will ultimately be worse than regular routes.

"I understand, but if I don't do that, I can't stop Barrichello."

Zhang Yifei told his reasons this time. In fact, he was not unaware of the truth, but there was only one reason for doing so, that is, he did not have the confidence to defeat Barrichello in terms of hard power, and could only rely on some extreme methods to hold him behind his car.

"No, except for the regular overtaking points, the other places in the Interlagers track are not easy to surpass. As long as you can maintain the perfect route, Barrichello has no room to go."

"In addition, if Barrichello has no confidence in defeating, what will you use to challenge Schumacher?"

Be more confident?

After hearing this, Zhang Yifei looked at Cosell in front of him. Both the outside world and the media thought that he was too confident and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was arrogant. Unexpectedly, Cosell actually made him more confident.

“Am I not confident enough?”

"Not enough. Although you said a lot of crazy words, you still think that Barrichello is stronger than you and has no confidence to defeat him. Otherwise, you will not put yourself in a weak position and dare not compete with the other party for hard power."

"The problem is, I am indeed not as strong as him."

Zhang Yifei smiled bitterly. Barrichello is the driver who can steadily enter the top few in the F1 paddock in the next few years. Every year, Schumacher may be the only one who can steadily suppress him in all aspects.

As a driver who has just started his newcomer season, what can I do to compete with Barrichello for his hard work?

"Who is stronger is a question, but whether or not you have the belief to fight is another question."

"Fei, when you were in the Renault Formula, that's not the case."

Cosell said meaningfully, compared to Zhang Yifei, who was becoming more and more conservative in the f1 paddock, the Renault Formula is really young and frivolous, with an absolute confidence that can crush all opponents on the track.

Faced with this sentence, Zhang Yifei didn't know what to say. God's perspective brings many benefits, but the disadvantage is that he knows how strong his opponent is at his peak, and sometimes even makes people feel desperate.

Take Schumacher for example. In the eyes of others at this stage, he just won a driver's championship last year. Whether he can defend the title this year is still a different matter. Most top drivers, such as Coothard, Villeneuve, and even his younger brother Schumacher, have the confidence to challenge him.

But Zhang Yifei knew that in the next four years of history, he was the driver champion and had a crushing dominance. The so-called ignorant fearlessness, Zhang Yifei knew how terrifying Schumacher's era was, so he had no confidence.

It is common saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but this newborn calf knows the strength of a tiger from the beginning and understands that the other party may eat it. Can it still remain fearless?

Similar to Schumacher, it is difficult for Zhang Yifei to look at Barrichello objectively like other drivers.

In the eyes of others, Barrichello is just a green leaf driver. He is worthy of strength and is considered a very qualified second driver. He can even be called a wingman.

After joining the Ferrari team last year, his performance began to improve, and he got the fourth place in total points, achieving the best record of his own personal score.

However, in competitive events, runner-ups can be ignored. The fourth place in total points is considered to be something. They can enter the f1 yard to compete. They say that Xu Schumacher is still possible, who would be afraid of fourth place?

So when other drivers see Barrichello, they are just very strong. It is nonsense to say that they are not as strong as him and it is difficult to defeat them. Many people even think that if they weren’t holding Ferrari’s thighs, this guy might be worse than me!

Only Zhang Yifei knew that in the next few years, Barrichello will be at the peak of his career and is stable among the top drivers. It doesn’t matter whether he hugged Ferrari’s thighs or not. After all, being able to hug the thighs is also a skill. You can hug it.

Without being able to change Barrichello to another race car, he can drive a Ferrari and his grades cannot be changed!

“I will overcome this.”

Zhang Yifei nodded. Since he had realized it, he had to find a way to solve it.

This world is no longer following the original history, and its existence has broken the historical scripts in the f1 paddock.

Then what happened in history may not be absolute in this world. It is still unknown who will win. In a sense, I am on the same starting line as these top drivers in later generations!

They can stand at the peak to create miracles, so I can do it too, let alone create the miracle of newcomers in the f1 paddock.

"Very good, I believe you can overcome it."

Cosell was not just tough and accusing. When he felt the lack of confidence in Zhang Yifei's heart, his subsequent words were inclined to encourage him.

In the final analysis, Zhang Yifei is just a new driver. He cannot put him in an omnipotent position just because of his performance in the first two stops. Facing the current top-notch drivers in the f1 paddock, it is normal for newcomers to have some pressure, and being able to overcome it is a kind of progress.

In the following time, Cosell began to discuss and correct some specific manipulation problems that arose during Zhang Yifei's practice competition.

After all, it is a strange track. He was provoked by Barrichello and forced to fight as soon as he got up. Apart from the gap in strength, Zhang Yifei's performance was indeed not so perfect, otherwise he would not have been surpassed in two or three laps.

Correcting your mindset and finding out the shortcomings and mistakes in the process is the best way to improve yourself.

After about half an hour, the door of the lounge was opened, and Alaisi and his competition engineer also walked in.

He saw Zhang Yifei and Cosel analyzing the track video in front of the monitor, so he just nodded to say hello, and then sat on the sofa behind to rest.

Now it’s just the first practice game that ends, and there is a second game in the afternoon. These two hours in the middle are the time for drivers to eat and have lunch break. Keep your experience and form well and meet the challenges in the afternoon.

Half an hour later, Cosell also walked out of the room to check the progress of the racing maintenance. At the same time, as lunch time arrived, most of the team members stopped their work.

But Zhang Yifei still sat in front of the monitor, constantly checking the videos of himself and other drivers, wanting to summarize some experience from them.

Alaixi walked to the door at this time, but when he saw Zhang Yifei's focused expression, he hesitated and said, "Let's take a break, some things can't be rushed."

"I'm not in a hurry, but I don't have much time, I want to improve myself better."

Zhang Yifei's mentality has been relieved for a while and he no longer has to worry about the winning or losing of a practice match.

The reason why he still sat in front of the monitor watching the game video was that it was because failure was actually easier to find his shortcomings. Seeing the problems on his track highlighted one by one, and then came up with solutions, Zhang Yifei felt very happy! Computer terminal::/

"You shifted gears too fast in the first long straight line, and the engine speed has not yet risen, so you can get too fast to high-end torque. "

Um?

Zhang Yifei looked at Alessi in a little surprised. He didn't expect that the French veteran would guide him.
