512 Desire for Victory (seeking Monthly Pass)
"Shumi, the progress of these young drivers is amazing. It should not have happened like this in the past five years."
Ferrari manager Jean Todd sighed, it was really surprising that a very dull practice match in F1 ended up in this situation.
“It’s really good.”
Schumacher agreed, his tone was more of appreciation than sourness!
This is the belly of the world's strongest driver. When his strength has reached another level, he can appreciate his opponent's outstanding performance with a more peaceful attitude.
"Will these little guys have any impact on your main competition? If you win the Austrian branch championship, you can lock in this year's world championship in advance."
"There is no impact, I will let them understand what it means to be truly powerful."
Schumacher replied confidently that he only followed his normal test rhythm in the practice session and did not make any efforts to get involved in the fastest lap.
His lack of competition does not mean that Schumacher has no strength, but this kind of battle between young people. If Schumacher participates, it will lose the price!
If you win, you will be shameless and you will be criticized if you lose.
Not only Schumacher thinks this way, but almost the other veteran drivers think this way, so they only see three racing cars racing wildly, and the other drivers are calmly watching the show.
Jean Todd had no doubts about Schumacher's answer, he was so strong.
So he turned his head and looked at Barricchello on the other side and said, "Barricchello, this stop is trying to surpass Kurthard. We need to lock in the top two and let other teams feel the rule of Ferrari."
"no problem."
Barrichello also replied confidently.
Many times, confidence grows with the improvement of performance. Barrichello and Ferrari have always been on the rise, so they naturally have confidence in speaking.
This year, Ferrari has secured the team championship, and Schumacher can almost be said to have secured the driver championship. Now there is only one runner-up left and there is still a little suspense and space to compete.
But Jean Todd, I'm not going to give other teams any chances, whether it's the champion or the runner-up, I want it all!
He wants everyone to feel what it feels like to be ruled by Ferrari. The Red Legion is the absolute king on the F1 track!
The other team management teams were almost mobilizing after facing the outstanding results of the three newcomers.
Not every team has the confidence of Ferrari. Most drivers feel a sense of pressure at this moment. The newcomer is too strong. The veteran may not be able to pass without performing well.
An atmosphere of "pre-war mobilization" enveloped the F1 paddock. I guess no one would have imagined before the game that the return of the Chinese boy caused such a big stir again!
In the second practice game in the afternoon, all teams and drivers were treated solemnly, but on the contrary, there was no fierce competition in the morning.
Because of the amazing lap times in the morning, it has reminded all the major teams that a fierce battle will occur in qualifying and practicing. At this time, the car should be more stable and the driver's status, rather than consumption in advance.
So there was a kind of calm before the storm, and everyone followed their own pace, rather than competing.
Zhang Yifei also used this relatively "relaxed" practice session to correct some of his flaws and improve his lines.
To be honest, as the driving time increases, Zhang Yifei's confidence becomes more and more powerful, and his control over the track becomes stronger and stronger. If time goes back at this time and let him run another game with Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen, the fastest lap time will not have any chance!
Because of Austria's A1 track, Zhang Yifei has really spent too much time studying and preparing in the past two months. Even if he talks about war on paper, he has already memorized this "military book"!
What I lack is nothing more than a "practical" experience, and these three practice games are opportunities to gain experience.
The same is true for the third practice match. Everyone is very "Buddhist", as if the intense scenes of the first practice match have never happened.
However, during the three practices, there were still some episodes, that is, Schumacher led Kimi Raikkonen, who had an extremely weak advantage, and refreshed the fastest lap in the practice game.
Schumacher's performance is very good, but not amazing, because everyone's standards and requirements for him are far superior to other drivers. Therefore, Schumacher's fastest lap speed is just a normal performance unless it breaks the track record.
Even the commentator just mentioned a little, their interest was more on the newcomers, thinking about what amazing performance they will perform in the next practice competition and the main competition.
"Bazel, have you noticed that the flying route seems to be getting smoother and smoother, the brake points are almost exactly the same, and the body posture is very perfect, and there shouldn't be a bottom support once."
Brendel still pays attention to Zhang Yifei. Judging from his experience, Zhang Yifei is much better than the first practice game, and he can't see any mistakes throughout the game, and there are not even any major flaws.
This performance is really not like a newcomer who can run, but more like an experienced veteran who is running his home track.
"I saw it. Fei seems to be very familiar with this Austrian A1 track."
"Well, but it's no surprise to think that Prost once ruled this track, Fei has such an understanding."
The commentators subconsciously believed that this was because Prost was guiding behind the scenes. After all, he was the team boss, and when facing his own dominant track, he naturally had to teach some experience to Zhang Yifei.
But in fact, Prost is so busy lately that he has no time to coach anything, and even missed three practice games.
Of course, although Prost did not appear in the yard to guide himself, Zhang Yifei still benefited from the track data and routing information, otherwise he would not be so familiar with the Austrian A1 track.
"I can't wait to see Fei perform in the main competition."
Brendel finally said excitedly, Zhang Yifei's return to the track was full of too many surprises and bizarreness.
But the end of all this requires the result to be obtained in the main competition. Can the Chinese boy show his crazy magic again?
The qualifying race started on Saturday afternoon. Because Zhang Yifei missed nine games and did not have the previous rankings of Monza Track, he was arranged to start at the end.
However, the starting order of the qualifying race has little impact. It is only acceptable to take the fastest lap speed in front or back.
"Brother Fei, come on!"
"Yifeijun, run a good result!"
"Fly, get a pole position back and let those who question before the game see your strength!"
"Fly, for Prost!"
The sound of cheering sounded, and the Brazilian Grand Prix was also the biggest pain of the season for the members of the car team.
The champion was right in front of him, but it finally disappeared. Fortunately, Zhang Yifei did not disappoint them. Even if he returned from injury, he was still the Fengfeng-chasing boy on the track!
"I will work hard for you."
Zhang Yifei replied with great determination, he knew what the crew members were looking forward to and how long they had been waiting.
This time, he didn't want to disappoint the men behind them!
On the eve of the departure, Cosell also came to Zhang Yifei, patted his shoulder and said, "If you run according to the rhythm of the practice race, you can stand in the front row because your speed is faster than you imagined."
"Yeah?"
"Will I say that when I run slowly?"
Cosel still looked calm, but it was obvious that Zhang Yifei's practice competition speed had met his requirements.
"I can, and I will run faster."
Zhang Yifei replied in a positive tone.
To be honest, he never had a stop, and he was eager for victory as he was today.
Perhaps it was the regret of the Brazilian station that inspired Zhang Yifei's desire to win and fighting spirit. What he thought was no longer the points zone and podium, but the championship seat.
I want to take back what I have lost!
After the team members cheered up, Zhang Yifei got into the car and started the qualifying race.
Montoya was the champion of the previous stop, so he started at the forefront, and his mind was full of fighting spirit at this moment.
Kimi won the fastest lap in the last stage of the training, which means that he not only lost to Zhang Yifei, but also to Kimi Raikkonen. With three people on stage, he eventually became a behind-the-supporting role.
This was a very serious blow to Montoya, and even caused Sir Williams to be dissatisfied. So he was eager to prove himself, and the best way to prove it at present is to get this pole position.
Behind him are the three top veterans in the paddock, namely Barrichello, Ralph Schumacher, and Michael Schumacher.
Now is no longer the stage where practice competitions can be paddled. Pole position has a great advantage in the main competition, and no one wants to happen in the back row. So the real battle has just begun at this moment, and these veterans will not give up the victory easily!
The engine roared, the car began to roar, and one by one was flying on the track like bullets.
This time the qualifying match is more intense than in previous years. Schumacher is to secure the championship, while Coothard and Barrichello are to compete for the runner-up.
Zhang Yifei and Montoya are the title of the strongest newcomer, Kimi Raikkonen, who wants to prove that he is still the driver who made history.
Everyone has their own dreams and expectations, and speed is their only way to realize their dreams.
"ohfuck, are you taking medicine? The lap speed is so exaggerated?"
"Damn, you have to replace the fastest lap in every lap, and even Schumacher can't take the first place in two laps?"
"It's only the fifth lap, and six of them ran into the 1 minute and 9 second mark. How fast is the final lap of this qualifying tournament?"
"I think the track record is stable, but I don't know who can get the pole position."
"I stand Schumacher, he is the strongest driver at present, no one!"
"I support Fei. New talents are the future. His upper limit is terrible!"
"Montoya is the strongest newcomer, double champion!"
The speed on the track detonated the passion in the stands, and the fans cheered wildly for the drivers they supported, and the lap of the qualifying race was also increasing madly.
