"1 minute 08 seconds 964! Schumacher was the first to break through the 1 minute 09 seconds field. Schumacher is Schumacher. When he really exerted his strength, the track would tremble for it!"

"1 minute 08 seconds 889! Montoya surpassed the fastest lap speed Schumacher maintained with his amazing performance. Maybe Shumi didn't expect that he would encounter challenges from Colombian superstars again and again this season!"

"1 minute 08 seconds 735! Kimi Raikkonen of McLaren team interprets what a newcomer who created F1 history is with speed! Maybe no one expected that the ice man from Finland would explode in the A1 track in Austria!"

Brendel and Bazel kept informing the situation on the track with passionate voices.

This is not because they deliberately made it excited, but because there has been no such fierce competition in the qualifying competition for a long time. Even as commentators, they are excited to watch it!

"Montoya, find a way to get faster, this speed won't get the pole position."

"Kimmy, you run beautifully. I always believe that you are the strongest newcomer and prove yourself with your grades!"

"Shumi, these newcomers are already crazy. It seems you have to be more serious!"

The team commands were constantly issued from the repair station area, and the crazy lap speed also disrupted the rhythm of many team planning. They did not expect that the competition in the qualifying race would be so fierce and crazy!

Even the audience felt that the drivers on the track had a gamble mentality. As the saying goes, if you lose, you don’t lose. I just want to fight hard and you have to seize the top spot in the lap!

"Cosell, how about the brake and oil temperature now?"

"It's high, but it's still within the normal level."

“Remaining oil.”

"Fifteen percent."

"Okay, it's my turn to perform."

After saying this, Zhang Yifei let go of the voice call button with Cosel. The car is currently in the best acceleration, and the qualifying time is half over. It is time to hit the fastest lap speed at the moment!

After kicking the accelerator, Zhang Yifei was ready to increase his speed, but to be honest, Prost's racing speed did not increase quickly.

Because there are many downhill and long straights on this track, the upper limit of speed has almost reached the limit of Prost racing's power performance. Just like many small-displacement civilian cars, the speed increase feels very light and the power is enough.

Once this number is exceeded, the power output will become more and more powerful, and the acceleration will become slower and slower. Especially the small-displacement SUV, the acceleration after 100km/h is basically achieved by time and time. No matter how you step on the accelerator, you will not feel the feeling of pushing back brought by the power.

The same is true for Prost racing at the moment. The power of the Peugeot engine is here. After reaching a peak, you can't increase your speed quickly just by stepping on the accelerator.

Of course, it will definitely not be as exaggerated as civilian cars’ acceleration powerless. This kind of power is relatively weak compared to other F1 cars. Just like you should never challenge your career with your hobbies, and don’t use the standards of buying groceries to judge Formula One racing.

The power problem can be regarded as an invariable shortcoming since Zhang Yifei entered the F1 paddock. However, on the Austrian A1 track, another shortcoming that troubles Zhang Yifei has been solved.

Another shortcoming factor is the lack of familiarity with the track.

Sufficient preparation time, coupled with Prost's experience on this track, Zhang Yifei remembered the characteristics of the track to the extreme.

Every curve, every line, or even the ups and downs of a section of the road, and the number of meters on the track, are deeply engraved in Zhang Yifei's mind.

It was precisely with the massive memory in my mind that Zhang Yifei surpassed Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen in the first practice match and ran an amazing lap.

However, the lap of practice is only a practice race after all, and the drivers are retained in their strength. The qualifying race is different. At this time, it is the pursuit of the ultimate lap, and it is Zhang Yifei's turn to explode completely!

At this moment, he was like a hidden master in martial arts novels, applying "what he learned throughout his life" to the A1 track to challenge the limit of lap and challenge the pole position title in the qualifying competition!

"1 minute 08 seconds 639! The fastest lap just now was created by McLaren's Cooterhard. It was only a slight gap of 1 minute 08 seconds 613 from the track lap record! "

"It is worthy of being the second-ranked driver in total points. Although Coothard rarely sees operations that amazed the audience, he always shows off his strength when you unexpectedly so that his opponents will never dare to underestimate his existence!"

Brendel was still sighing as McLaren team Coothard approached the race record, but Bazel next to him suddenly yelled and interrupted his commentary.

"1 minute 08 seconds 598! Audience friends, you heard it right, it's 1 minute 08 seconds 598! The Chinese driver from Prost team just broke the current lap record of the A1 track and came to the top position!"

"I really can't believe that the lap speed ranking on the screen is real. A newcomer who just entered the F1 paddock this year suffered a serious track accident after running three games. He also missed the next nine sub-stop events and did not return to the track until the previous few days."

"If other newcomers face one of these difficulties, they will probably be reimbursed throughout the season, and it will be difficult to adjust their condition and continue to achieve impressive results."

"But Fei did it! He surpassed the current track record. I think all the previous doubts and ridicule should disappear at this moment. The driver Fei used his strength to prove that on the day he returned, he was still the strongest newcomer in F1!"

At this time, Bazer felt that his commentary was a little crazy, and he threw all kinds of praise on Zhang Yifei without hesitation.

Because Zhang Yifei broke the lap this time very suddenly, it was like suddenly dropping to the top of the list, and the shock brought was too great.

You should know that Zhang Yifei was on the list before, but in the first few laps of the qualifying race. Zhang Yifei's lap speed was average, and he was pushed to the bottom by other faster drivers, and his name even reached the middle and lower level of the rankings.

For a moment, Bazer felt that he had forgotten that there was still such a Chinese driver competing for pole position.

But neither of the commentators criticized Zhang Yifei because he was at the back, which was more logical. After all, this was the first race to return to the track. After experiencing such big ups and downs, it was normal that there was no need to blame for the state.

As a result, just as the qualifying match was about to end, Zhang Yifei came back and even reached the top of the list, breaking the track record.

No wonder at the beginning of the season, many media commented on Zhang Yifei's performance, calling him the most dazzling newcomer in the F1 paddock and could not cover up his own light at any time.

Zhang Yifei really didn’t go dim, and the top spot was dazzling!

"Zhang Yifei!"

"fly!"

“no.1!”

"Montoya, wait and shivering, this is the strongest newcomer!"

"China is proud, you didn't disappoint me!"

"The strongest Asian driver, no one!"

"This is too fast, maybe the sky is his limit!"

Countless exclamations came from Taichung, and more importantly, most of them were European audiences.

In other words, they have no Chinese sentiment, and they cheer and praise Zhang Yifei on the track because of their strength and performance.

The Austrian A1 track, in terms of scale, is actually just a small track. Because the construction location is in a plateau area, the terrain limits the scale and scope of the track, and can only accommodate less than 50,000 spectators. Compared with those tracks with 100,000 spectators, it is only half the size.

But the A1 track also has its own characteristics, that is, the stands are very close to the track, just like a street race, where you can stand on two buildings on the track and watch the competition directly.

So Zhang Yifei could clearly see the audience outside the fence, reaching out his hand through the gap, and waved to him frantically. Even if Zhang Yifei didn't communicate with the convoy, he could know that his lap speed was definitely not much slower.

Otherwise, these European ghosts who looked down on themselves before would never cheer.

"Cosell, did I get the fastest lap?"

Although Zhang Yifei was already a little relieved, he still did not suppress his expectations and asked Cosel.

"Um."

There was just a simple "Yeah" sentence in the headphones, and I didn't feel excited or praised, as if I was running out of an extremely ordinary lap.

Zhang Yifei was a little relieved, but Cosel's inexplicably cold attitude made him feel nervous.

Did this old German man hear what he asked clearly? Why did he look careless and ummy casually?

"I'm really running the fastest lap?"

"It's just the fastest lap speed, not the pole position. Why do you do so many times?"

Cosel's response finally made Zhang Yifei sure that he had run the fastest lap speed on the track at present.

Before he could be ecstatic, Cosell's cold water poured over: "The qualifying race is not over yet, don't be too happy too early, the driver behind him bites it very tightly."

"I see."

Zhang Yifei knew that the old German man had no habit of talking nonsense. If nothing unexpected happened, he was just a slight lead and his pole position could not be stable.

"Teacher, are you too strict? I think Yifeijun needs more encouragement at this time."

Yamamoto Ukyo said to Kossel who finished the call. This time, Zhang Yifei missed nine sub-station events and returned to the first game of the track.

Compared to the past, he needs to be encouraged and confident, especially when he runs the fastest lap.

"You also see the intensity of today's qualifying race. There are still the last ten minutes left, and other drivers will not be willing to give in. The more they are like this, the more they should be vigilant, rather than satisfying their current lap speed."
