The reporters had already added fuel to the fire when the drivers were waiting for the area.

So the float parade did not continue to stimulate the supporters on the scene, nor even interviewed several major drivers involved, but instead pushed Kurthard, Ralph Schumacher, and Verstappen into the interview area.

After the simple float parade, Zhang Yifei returned to the repair station. The crew had completed the maintenance and was waiting for the main race to arrive.

Maybe Zhang Yifei's confident attitude also infected the crew. This time the entire team had an indescribable fighting spirit, just for the championship goal!

Kossel came over at this time. He wanted to seize the time and discuss the final tactical strategy with Zhang Yifei.

"I believe you are very clear about the road conditions of the A1 track. This time the road is soft and flat, and the tire wear is not serious, so I decided to adopt a stop-off tactic."

"A truce tactic?"

When Zhang Yifei heard about this team strategy, he was still a little surprised. He thought Kossel would eventually decide on the second ceasefire tactic.

The Austrian A1 track is very good. Compared with those rough and lack of maintenance, the wear pressure on tires will be much less.

If you simply run laps, as long as you have good tire protection skills and then hold the rear car, the two sets of tires can support the entire 71 laps of the race.

But the problem is that the race is not just running laps. The characteristic of the A1 track is that sudden braking and rapid deceleration are very frequent. The tire wear caused by sudden braking of each foot is much greater than the loss of normal laps.

Especially if there is a mistake in the force control and the brake is slightly heavier, it may not be a sudden brake, but a brake is directly killed. The consequence is that the tires are locked directly.

In fact, you can often see the situation of tire locks in life, that is, some curves on the road that require slowing down, or some accident-prone sections, and two black brake marks on the ground can often be seen.

This is caused by the sudden brake and the brake caliper locks the tires and no longer turning and hard friction against the road surface.

The tire life of ordinary civilian vehicles is at least tens of thousands of kilometers, and the problem caused by friction is not big. However, the life life of the f1 tire ranges from dozens of kilometers to one or two hundred kilometers, and the life difference is really too big.

Especially in extreme cases, you may not be able to withstand the wear of a brake and can directly step on the tire. Therefore, Zhang Yifei thinks the risk of the first stop tactic is a bit big, and the second stop is more stable.

Listening to Zhang Yifei's surprised tone, Cosell naturally understood what he was thinking.

"Do you have no confidence in your control skills?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's because I think..."

"If you don't think so, just implement a standstill. As long as you don't make serious manipulation mistakes, there will be no problems."

Kossel did not give Zhang Yifei any room to bargain. If the stoppage tactic is included, it can save at least 15 seconds of stoppage time.

This is definitely a very considerable number for Prost racing cars that are lagging behind.

Of course, the negative is that the difficulty of handling the driver will increase again. Not only should the tire be maintained and the car be pressed, but it also has to ensure that the brake force of the whole venue cannot make any mistakes. Otherwise, if the tire is blown up, even if the tire is not withdrawn, the wasted time may be calculated in minutes, unless the tire is blown up just at the entrance of the maintenance passage.

But Kossell doesn't care about these things, and the champion itself does not allow any mistakes unless Zhang Yifei does not have the confidence to win the championship!

Zhang Yifei also knew Kossell's personality and the tactical strategy he decided had no room for bargaining, which was actually the same as the Ferrari strategy group.

However, the two sides have different starting views. The Ferrari team strategy group implements the team's interests first. If there is a conflict of interest, sacrificing the interests of the drivers must also protect the team's interests.

Kossel is completely from Zhang Yifei's perspective, only pursuing faster speeds and better results.

Of course, the flaw is also obvious, which is how to run faster, so Cosel doesn't care. In his words, the driver who drives F1 on the track is not me. This is Zhang Yifei's problem, and Zhang Yifei must solve it!

"I see."

The final result was naturally Zhang Yifei compromised and could only mutter in his heart, the old German man is really stubborn!

At 14:55 pm, Zhang Yifei drove the JS53 car from the repair station to the parking space on the track.

When the blue Prost car drove out of the repair corridor, some cheers appeared at the scene. Zhang Yifei's supporters were very excited. This was his first time to get a pole position and he was qualified to start the first row.

However, this sound is not very loud, because even if many European and overseas Chinese and international students rushed to Austria overnight, it was too late to go. Although the track of 50,000 people is not large, it is still a bit difficult to resound through the track with the voices of thousands of people.

After all, today is the home court between Williams and BMW. Zhang Yifei is of high quality without ridicule and booing. If he wants to cheer for Zhang Yifei, he has not reached this level yet.

Or in other words, those who want to have blockbuster fans in the away game in the f1 paddock are basically world champion drivers, such as Schumacher now, Alonso, Kimi, and Hamilton later, etc.

But this did not affect Zhang Yifei's excitement at all, because this was the first time he started in the pole position and no longer had to eat the exhaust of the driver in front of him.

Another more important point is that Zhang Yifei’s right rear is Ferrari’s No. 1 racing car, and the driver on it is Schumacher!

The ability to beat Schumacher can be said to be one of the dreams of later drivers. After all, he represents the most prosperous era of F1 and a peak that is almost insurmountable.

After Zhang Yifei entered the f1 paddock, his biggest dream was to fight Schumacher and then defeat this unattainable car god!

This dream was once within reach of the Brazil Grand Prix, but in the end it failed. Now he can finally stand in a higher position than Schumacher, which is a kind of motivation and excitement for Zhang Yifei.

"The exciting race is about to begin. Today is more special than the previous events. Or the scene on the track is a scene that has never appeared in F1's 50-year history. A driver from China stopped on the front pole position."

"If possible, I hope the audience will not be stingy with your applause and cheers. Congratulations to this driver who created the history of F1. He is Fei from China~!"

Brendel pulled a long tail note, making Zhang Yifei's name look more solemn and excited.

Because this Chinese boy has created the history of F1 again, he deserves cheers and applause from the audience, rather than the cold reaction now!

With Brendel's encouragement, the audience's reaction was obviously more enthusiastic than at the beginning. Many BMW fans at home applauded politely to congratulate Zhang Yifei. In any case, today can be regarded as a historic scene in F1, with Chinese drivers appearing in the front car.

Of course, those supporters of Zhang Yifei were even more excited at this moment. They kept waving their arms and shouting from the bottom of their hearts.

"That's right, Zhang Yifei created the history of f1!"

"The strongest driver in China, one day, I believe you can become the strongest driver in the world!"

"Zhang Yifei, run forward as fast as possible, facing those cold eyes and ridicule!"

"No difficulty can make you kneel down and beg for mercy. You will always be the most arrogant and unruly Chinese driver, representing our bloodline!"

Zhang Yifei couldn't hear these cheering voices for himself, but he could feel the enthusiasm of his compatriots and supporters, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

However, Zhang Yifei's attention quickly moved away from the stands and locked on the indicator light above the track.

Pole position is always just the beginning, and only the main championship represents the final victory. Zhang Yifei was once only one step away. This time, he didn't want to fall on the last step again!

Five indicator lights light up at one time, and when they are turned off, Zhang Yifei starts and warms the beads. As the front car, he can freely move the line without worrying about overtaking or rear-end collisions.

Of course, Zhang Yifei did not do anything bad, but honestly walked the left and right lines, and continued to accelerate and decelerate, so that the tires and oil could reach the working conditions as quickly as possible, because this will determine the next start. Zhang Yifei didn't want to start and overtake, but it happened to him.

After all, if I finally got the pole position this time, I had not even enjoyed being the first car and was supervised, it would be a big loss!

The warm beads ended soon, and all the cars parked in the previous parking spaces one by one, waiting for the official departure indicator lights.

Zhang Yifei locked his eyes on the starting indicator light, and more people locked their eyes on him. Although Zhang Yifei got the pole position this time, he did not have enough foundation to prove his invincible strength.

Many drivers, even some drivers in the middle and back rows, think that they have the strength to defeat Zhang Yifei. This is the same as the idea of ​​some cats and dogs after China exposed new equipment in later generations, thinking that since China can do it, I can do it too.

Relying on that mysterious sense of superiority to build confidence, instead of seriously reviewing Zhang Yifei's game video to analyze the true strength of this Chinese driver.

So behind Zhang Yifei, who is the first car, is a pair of eyes staring at him.
Chapter completed!
