Cosell listened to Henry's words, and there was no expression on his face, because he had already predicted the difficulty.

There are few smooth events in f1, and the driver's condition also fluctuates with changes in the track and time. For example, some drivers are not used to the rain battle, some drivers are prone to physical strength to decline in high temperatures, and some drivers even face the counterclockwise track, because right-handers are not used to it, their speed will slow down significantly.

But the stronger the driver, the more he can overcome the ups and downs in this state and keep himself in a good competitive state.

So far, Zhang Yifei has not seen any obvious technical shortcomings, and his performance is in an upward period.

However, his shortcomings in experience have never been changed. However, if some less complex tracks are prepared well and the track data are more detailed, relying on Zhang Yifei's quick learning ability, he can also achieve good results.

This is talent!

The so-called genius driver is to solve problems faster and better than ordinary people when facing difficulties.

Zhang Yifei's genius is actually his amazing learning ability, which solves many new drivers' technical and even some experience shortcomings, and has the ability to fight against top-class drivers in the track.

However, no matter how talented the most, facing a particularly complex track, it is difficult to stand on the same level as those veterans in the track.

Originally, Zhang Yifei's experience shortcomings were not obvious in this track. After all, the US Grand Prix has only been resuming for a year. Except for top-notch drivers like Schumacher and Coothard, they can keep them in mind after running for a while. Some mid-range or late-stage drivers are actually in the stage of learning.

However, Zhang Yifei was not lucky and encountered two rare Indy world champions in F1 history. Montoya and Villeneuve had a great advantage on this track, so Zhang Yifei pushed back one level.

Originally, the shortcomings in experience are fatal enough. In addition, the strange layout of the Indianapolis track is super high-speed and half of the side is super complex, which makes the performance and experience shortcomings simultaneously amplify the shortcomings in racing performance and experience.

This led to Zhang Yifei, who had been able to enter the front row before, becoming a mid-range driver at this stop.

To be honest, this is due to Zhang Yifei's amazing talent and his experience in the Formula Renault shorthand track, otherwise the ranking would be lower.

Just as Henry said, Zhang Yifei really tried his best. Although he was only ranked tenth, he had reached the limit of a newcomer!

Cosell and Henry, members of Prost car crew, can understand Zhang Yifei's difficulties and efforts, but others on the track will not understand it, nor will they understand it. On the contrary, they are very excited to see Zhang Yifei fall behind, so that they can prove that the Chinese super newcomer who was hyped by the media before the race is nothing on the Indy track!

"It's not possible to practice once, but it's still at this level when practicing again. Is this true form of a rookie revealed?"

"It's really trash that Chinese guys are honest in the United States in the future!"

"Where does this level have the courage to despise the Indy champion? Chinese boy, you will learn a lesson in the United States!"

"Time Magazine is blind, and can it still be a super newcomer by default? It should be replaced by Montoya!"

The clamoring sounds from the audience directly covered the cheering sounds of Zhang Yifei in the stands. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of people, the number gap is still too big.

Even many Chinese audiences who originally supported Zhang Yifei were shaken in their hearts. Is Zhang Yifei really not as powerful as the report?

Because most Chinese supporters here are actually not fans of Zhang Yifei, or even F1 enthusiasts. Because the United States is like China, Formula 1 is not very popular.

It’s just that China is purely backward, while the United States is India’s local formulas occupy the mainstream, so the mainstream people don’t pay much attention to it.

However, Zhang Yifei's victory at the Austrian Grand Prix made the world media rush to report, and only Chinese Americans knew that there was also an F1 champion driver in China. Later, the interview with Time magazine truly made Zhang Yifei "popular" in the United States.

Therefore, the Chinese supporters at the scene supported Zhang Yifei's nationality, not like fanatical fans, and because of his strength.

Zhang Yifei's current performance really doesn't show the level of a super newcomer. Are these clamoring Americans saying true? Does Zhang Yifei really have no such strength?

"Zhang Yifei doesn't seem to perform well. What should I do when the main competition is coming?"

"Is it because of strength, or is it not possible to race?"

"Now these Americans are already clamoring for the whole game. If the ranking is too behind, they will probably be output after the game."

"I haven't even run the main competition yet, what are you saying? I believe Yifei is not that weak!"

"That's right, after all, we are our Chinese car gods. I don't believe that I can't run into the Indy champion!"

"Zhang Yifei is a driver who created the Chinese miracle. Believe it or not, he created an American miracle for you to see!"

There are many people who are shaken, but there are more people who firmly support Zhang Yifei!

They support Zhang Yifei not because of his results, but because he is currently the only Chinese driver on the F1 track.

He is a Chinese driver, and that's enough!

At the Minardi fleet repair station, the crew members welcomed the Xiong Long who returned to the repair station like a hero who was welcomed to win the victory.

You should know that last season, Minardi, like Prost, was the brother who was at the bottom of the terrible score last season.

It was originally said that we would be like a dog together, but who would have thought that Prost team would turn over and pick up a Chinese boy, who was a treasure, and was very aggressive and was like the fourth giant on the track.

As a result, Minardi team was still losing streak, and even encountered a more frustrating Marquis. The team management sometimes wanted to slap himself. How blind it was to get a driver like Marquis who was only equipped with f3,000 into the f1 paddock.

However, this American Grand Prix made Minardi team management feel like he had found a treasure. That is, Xiong Long, who is also a Chinese, can actually reach fifth place in the second training session. This is simply the first time he has made the world!

"Alex, run beautifully."

"I performed very well, keep the game going!"

"Alex, you didn't disappoint the team!"

"Continue to win against Chinese boys, the strongest Chinese are still not sure!"

Just as Zhang Yifei became the hope of the crew member, Xiong Long is also sought after by the crew member.

After all, the financial situation of Minardi team is much better than last year's Prost team, far from giving up on its own. The crew members hope that a strong driver will appear to lead the team to victory.

Facing these praises, Xiong Long had a faint smile on his face, but he had a deep sense of crisis in his heart!

During the first practice, Zhang Yifei's lap speed was only 1 minute, 16 seconds, 603, while he ran 1 minute, 15 seconds, 212, with the gap between the two sides approaching 1.5 seconds.

Although Erzhang ran into 1 minute and 14 seconds, he just happened to run into it. The full time was 1 minute and 14 seconds 979, while Zhang Yifei ran into 1 minute and 15 seconds 207.

Judging from the lap speed alone, I am still ahead, but in fact the gap has narrowed rapidly, which means that Zhang Yifei is crazy about improving his lap speed.

After the crash from the Malaysian station, Xiong Long almost targeted Zhang Yifei, trying to prove that he is the strongest driver in Chinese.

The more you pay attention to it, the more you feel a deep despair. Zhang Yifei's growth rate is too fast, and it is so fast that it is unavailable to catch up. If it weren't for the crash of the Brazilian Grand Prix, Xiong Long might have no courage to fight again.

So he knows Zhang Yifei very well and knows that once he enters the pace of lap improvement, he will become more and more fierce and even undergo a qualitative change.

Xiong Long also knows himself that the lap speed of the second practice is almost his limit. If Zhang Yifei makes any amazing improvements again, then the third practice, or qualifying competition, will surpass his lap speed!

You should know that although Marquis was kicked after the Austrian Grand Prix, his decision to get out had been made several months in advance. The main thrust determined at this time is the main sponsor of Minardi team - Malaysia Lottery Company!

So it seems that Xiong Long suddenly became a regular player, but in fact he had already started preparing for the US Grand Prix. The reason why Xiong Long chose the US station to return to the track was because he had studied the characteristics of the track and knew that this was the most unfriendly sub-station event for newcomers and performance lagging behind cars.

He prepared for half a year and thought he had already taken control of the Indianapolis track, but he was still not sure of leaving Zhang Yifei away.

Is it really Zhang Yifei the only one of the Chinese genius drivers in this world? Why is it better for Zhang Yifei to adapt to progress quickly after working hard for so long?

Xiong Long was very unwilling to accept it at this moment. He once thought that diligence could make up for his shortcomings, but reality told him that genius is a genius, and diligence can only guarantee the lower limit, while talent determines the upper limit.

In fact, there is another more important point, that is, Zhang Yifei is not lazy either. He has diligence that is not inferior to Xiong Long. When the other party’s talent is higher than you and harder than you, this is the real despair!

Just when everyone felt that the second practice was over and was preparing for tomorrow's qualifying competition, the lap rankings on the big screen of the track broadcast suddenly became an audience. The track director's camera pointed at several viewers in the stands, and at the same time, the reporter from the track media center was already standing next to these viewers.

Not only that, when the American audience in the stands who were about to leave saw these people on the big screen, they made crazy shouts, surpassing any cheers in the previous game.

Even all the crew members of the team repair station were surprised. The second practice competition has ended. Why is this lively scene still happening?
