Bazel watched Zhang Yifei and Montoya leave the court, and said in a tone of emotion: "Maybe no one would have thought that Fei's condition could recover so well. It seems that the Austrian Grand Prix may have something unexpected that many people had previously expected."

"Oh, what do you think will happen?"

Brendel answered.

"The championship battle for the Brazilian Grand Prix may be staged again."

"You are so optimistic about Fei. I think he can compete for the championship when he returns to the track? Schumacher withdrew from the race two years ago. It seems that even the Malaysian Grand Prix ran after returning to the track, he failed to win the championship, right?"

The commentators of Brendel's previous partner were basically standing opposite Zhang Yifei. No one was optimistic about this Chinese boy, let alone the championship battle.

So suddenly Brendel was surprised when facing Bazer's words. Is this Austrian commentator too highly regarded Zhang Yifei?

"Schumacher returned to the track and won second place, but he was only one second behind Eddie Elvin. I believe that the gap in this second is definitely not a problem of strength or condition, but the team strategy, Paul Ervin strives for the world championship."

"So when Schumacher returned to the track, he had the strength and opportunity to compete for the sub-station championship, but he didn't do that."

"Then you are using Schumacher's standards to ask for flying. This is his rookie season."

Brendel's words made Bazel not know what to say.

It seems that this is the case. Although the situation is the same, the strength of the drivers on both sides is different. No one would think that Zhang Yifei is now comparable to Schumacher in 1999!

Not to mention that Schumacher is still on the track, he is stronger now than in 1999!

However, just as the two were discussing, the director suddenly came from the headset, asking them to pay attention to the situation on the track.

This reminder interrupted their conversation and focused their eyes on the big screen. It found that many viewers had stood up with shouting and applauding on their faces.

This scene made Brendel and Bazer a little confused. The battle in the practice match has ended. Why are the audience so excited?

But when they looked at the lap rankings, they unexpectedly found that the fastest lap has been replaced. It was not Schumacher, Barrichello, nor Kurthard, but Kimi Raikkonen that no one expected!

"What happened? Kimi actually ran the fastest lap?"

Brendel has been engaged in commentary for nearly twenty years and has also seen various extreme turnaround scenes, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene.

They all think that Kimi Raikkonen is not strong enough, otherwise he would not have performed like this after two years of career. This time he fell behind by 0.3 seconds and had no possibility of surpassing him. In the end, he stayed on the track and continued running, which was nothing more than the young people's unyielding and unwillingness to accept it.

But what I didn't expect was that Kimi actually made lap times alone on the track, and actually surpassed Zhang Yifei's fastest lap times. Maybe this is no longer a victory, after all, the other two major opponents have already left the game.

But there is no doubt that Kimi Raikkonen's lap speed proves his strength.

He is still the genius boy who created the "three-level jump" miracle, and he did not disappoint Mika Hakkinen's inheritance and the expectations of Finnish fans!

"god! What's wrong with this today? It's just a practice game. Are the young people fighting so hard?"

Brendel couldn't help but exclaim, he really didn't expect that such a scene would appear on the track, which was really surprising.

"I think this is good. This is the vitality and determination that young drivers should have. The future Formula One will not fall."

Bazer was surprised with a hint of excitement and gratitude. This is what racing sport should look like. The actions of such a group of young people interpret what the racing spirit is!

"Young people are so aggressive, veterans should not be lying on historical results. I already have a premonition that this Austrian Grand Prix will be a bloody battle."

"I think so too."

When saying this, the tone of the two commentators was full of expectations. I haven't seen such an exciting scene on the F1 track for a long time.

At the Prost team repair station, Zhang Yifei had already gotten off the racing car. The maintenance team began to check the racing brakes and territory. He went to discuss with Cosell himself about some of the problems and flaws that occurred in the practice competition just now.

It is obvious that the members of Prost's crew are very excited and excited at this moment. Although everyone trusted Zhang Yifei very much, to be honest, they were not very confident about this "comeback" battle.

After all, Zhang Yifei was suddenly interrupted during his rising state. For old drivers, this situation may not be able to adjust in time, let alone newcomers.

But Zhang Yifei proved with the fastest lap speed that he is still the strongest and most competitive newcomer in the f1 paddock. Even though Montoya has won the Monza championship and has undergone transformation, Zhang Yifei can still beat him.

But soon, various surprising comments came from the Prost team's P room. Because they saw Kimi who had not returned to the station, surpassed Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed at the last moment of the practice race and reached the top position!

"Is Kimi Raikkonen that strong?"

When the team leader Henry saw this scene, he couldn't help but mutter.

Kimi Raikkonen's crazy withdrawal over the past six months has made many people subconsciously no longer treat him as a super newcomer, thinking that he may also be a short-lived driver who "made his debut at the peak" and has been a short-lived driver.

The protagonist of this practice match was also placed on Zhang Yifei and Montoya, and Kimi Raikkonen was more like a matchmaker. Unexpectedly, he actually ran the fastest lap at the last moment, which was really incredible.

Henry's words also made Cosell and Zhang Yifei's eyes look on the track broadcast screen.

Kimi's name suddenly appeared at the top of the list, and won the fastest lap of the practice match with a time of 1 minute 09 seconds 027.

There was no change in expression on Kossel's face in this scene. He was not an ordinary member of the strategy group, but a chief competition engineer.

He would not start to praise and boast about Kimi's performance in one or two good results, nor would he laugh and question it because of Kimi's temporary underestimation. Kossel would only look at Kimi Raikkonen's strength with more rational thinking. He always believed that Kimi's upper limit was very high, but he just didn't play it out.

So now he has realized his potential and ran this lap under heavy pressure, and there is nothing to surprise or surprise at all.

Zhang Yifei next to him was not surprised to see this lap, and even a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The famous Kimi, the "Finnish Iceman" who can wrestle his arm during Schumacher's peak, is finally about to awaken and show his strongest form?

It is lonely to have no challenge on the track, especially when facing many top drivers in later generations, who are still in the growth stage, which makes this feeling even more boring.

Zhang Yifei has always been looking forward to a speed competition with Kimi Raikkonen, a rain battle with Jason Patton, and a championship battle with Fernando Alonso!

It’s just a pity that these champion drivers are still in the rookie stage, and it’s even difficult to enter the points zone.

Fortunately, there are peak Schumacher and Barrichello in this era, with powerful competitors Kurthard, Ralph Schumacher, and even the fallen genius driver Villeneuve competed on the track. Otherwise, life is really lonely as snow...

"Aren't you worried?"

From the corner of Kossel's eyes, he saw Zhang Yifei's expression and reaction.

He was not surprised that Kimi Raikkonen could run the fastest lap, but on the contrary, he was surprised that Zhang Yifei's first reaction was that he had a smile on his lips when facing this scene.

Is this psychological quality or other factors? Even if Schumacher is as strong as he is leading by others, he probably won’t be able to laugh out loud in his first reaction?

This was the first time Cosell felt that Zhang Yifei was even more interesting than he thought.

"Of course I don't worry. If Kimi doesn't show his strength, the track will be boring."

"That's right. This mentality is the basis for becoming a top driver. The champion has never been afraid of how strong his opponent is!"

Kossel praised Zhang Yifei without hesitation. This was the first time he praised so bluntly. Because Zhang Yifei's reaction and performance really satisfied him!

A true strong man will never worry about his opponent's strength, he will only worry about not having a strong opponent on the track.

The master is lonely. When there is no strong opponent, there will be no strong himself. Any strength needs to be set off!

Faced with Cosel's praise, Zhang Yifei just smiled faintly this time and said silently.

"I have already met Schumacher, who is like a fire, and now I may have to witness the rise of Kimi, who is like an ice. The f1 paddock is becoming more and more interesting. Is the song of ice and fire going to be staged in advance?"

Kimi Raikkonen's fastest lap speed also brought shock and excitement to other teams.

Because the lap speed of these three newcomers is not the level of the vegetarian chickens pecking each other, but they are all very close to breaking the barrier of 1 minute and 9 seconds, and have the strength to sprint for 1 minute and 8 seconds.

You should know that if you can enter the 1 minute and 08 second field, there is a great possibility of getting pole position, and the least it is also a top five starting position. It is not surprising that a newcomer can achieve this lap speed. Three drivers can do it in a row, and one is stronger than the other. This scene is really a bit amazing.
