At the Prost team repair station, the maintenance technician quickly adjusted the car according to Zhang Yifei's previous track feedback.

Kossell also held a tactical board to provide quick guidance on the problems that occurred during Zhang Yifei's test.

"The proportion of sharp turns above 90 degrees on the A1 track is more than 50%. Your control of the brake point is too inaccurate, especially the sudden brakes on the downhill straight, which have worn down the wooden blocks of the chassis."

"The practice competition starts to wear out after just a few laps. There is absolutely no way to survive the 71 laps of the main competition. If you violate the rules, you will even cancel the results, so you must find the best brake point more accurately."

"If it cannot be done, you can consider appropriately improving the racing chassis to reduce the impact of body posture changes in the state of sudden brakes."

Zhang Yifei had actually felt the problem pointed out by Kossel.

Although this era was not replaced with titanium alloy nails, instead of metal tungsten nails with relatively high melting points, there was no scene of sparks splashing after the bottom was supported. But as an F1 driver, if you can't even feel the bottom was supported, it was just a joke.

By raising the racing chassis, you can avoid the punishment caused by the bottoming, but after driving in these few laps, Zhang Yifei will never accept this plan.

Because the racing chassis is lowered, it is not only faster, but also has the advantages of stability and anti-roll. Many times, Zhang Yifei turns over at a high speed, and the g value on the sensor is as high as 3.8!

In other words, on some curves, Zhang Yifei has to bear centrifugal force of 3.8 times his body weight. This number is very terrifying and can almost match the level of the fighter's steering.

If the chassis is raised, it means that the curve roll will be increased, making stability and control more difficult.

The brake points and the detour route can also be solved by personal driving skills, while the physical laws of turning g values ​​cannot be changed by artificial means. Originally, the performance of Prost racing was not enough. Zhang Yifei had to run an absolute advantage on the curve to make up for the backwardness on the straight, and he could no longer accept any weakening!

"Cosell, the lowest chassis adjustment solution is still the one I can solve the control problem."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, just adjust the original chassis to continue the minimum wind resistance down pressure. In addition, shorten the gear stroke between the second and third gears, and the cornering acceleration is not fast enough."

"Yes." Zhang Yifei sponsored this adjustment plan and added: "I need to be more accurate if the steering space is reduced a little. In addition, lower the feedback force of the brake and accelerator, and it is a bit tiring to step on it."

The maximum brake force of the f1 can exceed 70 kilograms, but this does not mean that you have to use 70 kilograms of force when you step on it.

The feedback of the brake force is linear. The deeper you step, the greater the force you need. Only when you step to the bottom can you reach the peak of the brake feedback force of 70~80 kg.

In fact, the calibration principle of civilian vehicles is the same. When you step on the brakes, you can obviously feel that the force of the brakes is much heavier than when you step on them. However, the F1 requires more accurate, and the consequences of tyre locking will be serious, so the end force will be adjusted so as to avoid the situation where the driver easily step on the brakes.

The previous tracks had not as high as the A1 track, so the force was relatively smaller.

However, there are several sudden brakes in Austria's A1 track that exceeds 300km/h, which is almost the same as the brakes. Zhang Yifei was injured and his right foot was again. Although he has recovered almost now, after a few days of training and qualifying, he has to face a two-hour main competition. He is really afraid that this leg will not be able to withstand such heavy pressure.

So to be on the safe side, reduce the brake pedal force a little, and he believes that he can also have precise control capabilities.

There is no need to discuss the adjustment of these drivers’ personal habits, and the technician team changes them according to Zhang Yifei’s requirements.

With the current professionalism of the Prost technician team, such modifications and adjustments can be easily handled within ten minutes even if the gear ratio of the gearbox is moving. When Zhang Yifei sat in the Prost race cabin again, this is a racing car that perfectly matches his style and will try to hit the fastest lap of the practice race!

Seeing Zhang Yifei coming out of the maintenance channel, other team strategy groups once again focused on him.

"The speed of the flying technology test circle is surprisingly slow, but this is also his usual style. How fast do you think he can run the fastest in this speed test?"

McLaren Racing Team P room, Ron Dennis asked Whitmarsh beside him.

Now McLaren's driver, Coothard has performed his due level and maintained the second place in total points, which is already considered qualified.

But Kimi's performance is so disappointing that he has been left behind in the competition with Zhang Yifei and Montoya.

At this stop, the three most talked new drivers on the track have the opportunity to compete on the same stage again, and they are also very friendly to high-performance racing cars. If Kimi cannot beat the other two opponents, even if the team management can accept it, McLaren fans may not be able to accept it.

Such a driver is not worthy of the Big Three McLaren!

"About 1 minute and 10 seconds."

Whitmarsh gave an estimated answer. The current A1 track record is a record of 1 minute 08 seconds 613 when Eddie Elvin won the championship in 1999.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to run a lap speed that exceeds the track record in the first round of the practice race. After all, the test has not been completely completed, and many of the racing adjustments have not been finalized.

If it were an ordinary new driver, Whitmarsh might have given a lap time of about 1 minute and 11 seconds. But the other party was Zhang Yifei, this magical Chinese boy, which really makes people unable to estimate his upper limit.

"The fastest lap in Kimi practice competition is 1 minute 10 seconds 449, and this speed is still a bit slower."

Ron Dennis frowned. This lap speed is really not guaranteed and will not be surpassed by Zhang Yifei next.

Although the lap speed of the practice competition is not important, many media and audiences have now set their sights on these three rookies. Kimi cannot fall behind too much!

In history, Dennis' attitude towards Kimi was simply a son. Even if he had no achievements, he was given the best treatment in terms of things, until Kimi eventually grew into the famous "Finnish Iceman".

He had never had strict performance requirements for Kimi Raikkonen before. But now other newcomers performed too well, even as the chairman of McLaren Group, he was under great pressure on the board.

This is the second season, and Kimi Raikkonen cannot show its strength. Perhaps next season, McLaren will consider signing stronger drivers.

Whitmarsh also knew Dennis's "preference" for Kimmy, so he spoke, "Do you want to remind Kimmy that he has already been on the track and let him improve his lap speed?"

"Yes, but you have to be safe."

Dennis nodded and agreed. The foundation of a driver's career in the F1 paddock still depends on his grades. His preference has been protected by Kimi Raikkonen for two years, and his future development will eventually depend on him to run out!

After leaving the station, Zhang Yifei took the first round of the speed test circle and was frozen at 1 minute 11 seconds 763.

This speed has been greatly improved compared to the previous "turtle" speed, but compared to the fastest lap speed in the track now, it is still at the back level.

But many people know that according to Zhang Yifei's style in the previous competition, this is just the beginning. This Chinese boy's lap speed began to increase rapidly, until it was amazing.

But this time Zhang Yifei returned to the track, and with the dangerous A1 track, can he continue his previous newcomer state?

"The driver seems to be flying faster and faster, and his latest lap speed has surpassed Schumacher."

"Is there a mistake in the lap time of the practice race today? The top three drivers are actually three new players, Schumacher, Coothard, and Barrichello are not on the list?"

"Montoya is still the fastest lap speed, and she is worthy of being the Indy World Champion!"

"It's okay for Montoyaqiang. After all, he just won the Monza championship in the previous league and was at the peak of his own state. What I can't understand is that Kimi Raikkonen is ranked third. Does he have this strength?"

"Of course, he was the driver who created a miracle of triple jumping and got points in his debut. Although his grades have not been very good in the past two years, I always believe that he will become a top driver!"

"I guessed that the practice match was not that simple. These three guys were still fighting. It didn't make me look forward to one!"

The audience gradually became excited and excited as they watched the practice lap times constantly refreshing on the track's big screen.

Because it is obvious that you can feel a smell of gunpowder. The three controversial newcomers were holding their breath at this moment, wanting to surpass the other two and become the only super newcomer on the track!

From the start of lap speed of about 1 minute and 11 seconds, we started to increase continuously, and we have even crossed the upper limit of 1 minute and 10 seconds and have arrived at the 1 minute and 09 seconds field.

You should know that in this event in history, Schumacher's lap score in pole position was only 1 minute 09 seconds 562. Although there is still about half a second difference from the pole position record, this is the first practice game. No one can give the upper limit of how fast he can run in the end!

"Kimmy, hurry up a little faster, surpass the fastest lap of flying!"

Dennis also let go of his care for Kimi Raikkonen at this moment, and for the first time he clearly asked him to defeat Zhang Yifei.

The super newcomer who created the history of f1's "triple jump" should not fall behind!

"Montoya, the lap speed is very tight, don't give him a chance to catch up!"

Sir Williams also coldly reminded Montoya that he should know that the Austrian A1 track is BMW's home court!

The blue and white Williams "Sabretooth Tiger" racing cannot fail on this track, even if it is just an unimportant practice race. This is not a competition for results, it is a fight for one breath!
Chapter completed!
