567 The Speed ??of Mystery (Chapter 3)
Compared with the anger and dissatisfaction of other teams at this moment, the Prost fleet maintenance station was strangely calm.
After all, they had experienced it alone yesterday, and no matter how troubles they made today, their mentality was much calmer.
"Charlie, is there no problem with racing?"
Cosel asked Charlie.
In fact, after the second training session yesterday, Zhang Yifei no longer reported the problem of racing deviation, but he was still a little worried.
After all, under the calmness of the crew members, everyone was actually holding their breath in their hearts, hoping that Zhang Yifei could use better results to counterattack the cold eyes and ridicule on the current track.
The basis of counterattack is the stability of the racing!
"No problem. After reinforcing the screws and adjusting the racing counterweight yesterday, this fault should be solved from the root."
Charlie replied very sure that as long as the cause of such a small fault is found, it is not a problem for the F1-level maintenance team.
"Um."
Cosel nodded, then looked at Zhang Yifei and said, "Are you ready today?"
“It’s ready.”
Zhang Yifei responded while putting on gloves.
Yamamoto Ukyo did not tell Kossel about the simulation track last night. It was not that Yamamoto Ukyo didn't want to say it, but was stopped by Zhang Yifei.
At present, Zhang Yifei is not sure about Cosell's attitude towards such a thing. If he objected, he might be nagging again.
Anyway, everything has been done, whether it is meaningful or meaningless, it cannot change the reality. If Cosell teaches him a lesson, it would be a waste of time to get scolded. It would be better not to say it.
As for Alessi, he has never been a talkative person, so he naturally would not be this goblin.
As time came to 10:30 in the morning, the last practice race also began. Now each team has basically adjusted the racing car according to the track characteristics, and the tire wear situation has also been data, and the final team entry strategy has been made.
Therefore, the main direction of the third practice is to see how fast the driver is running!
Racing cars set off from the repair station. When Montoya came out, the sound of refueling on the track was simply resounding.
You should know that in the past, unless it was a driver's home track, there was only one person who could get such treatment, that is Schumacher. Whether it was Schumacher's fans that he attracted to his own strength and performance, or the faith fans accumulated by Ferrari's team over the years, they were the most numerous in the F1 team at present, so it is not surprising that they can resound throughout the track.
But Indianapolis track can only be said to be the home court of the Indy drivers, not Montoya. In yesterday's practice game, Villeneuve's supporters obviously had an absolute numerical advantage, and Montoya could only rank second.
Today's support voice is several times that of yesterday. It seems that there are 100,000 spectators on the track and have become Montoya's supporters. This number not only surpasses Schumacher, but also surpasses Villeneuve yesterday.
reality!
Zhang Yifei looked at the overwhelming Colombian flags and the support banners of Williams and Montoya, and the first thought in his mind was this.
Montoya only took two practice games to increase his supporters exponentially, and the number of people defeated the double champion Villeneuve. As expected, strength and results these days represent everything!
However, when Zhang Yifei's racing car used the repair channel, everything changed.
The American audience who had cheered before instantly booed, and many even made various sarcastic poses. It was so malicious...
To be honest, Zhang Yifei couldn't understand what the American brain circuit was thinking. As long as they determined it themselves, they must be correct and just. Even if it was malicious, they all had a clear conscience, and others must follow American thinking and philosophy.
Do you really think that everyone in the world is your mother? Everyone has to spoil you?
Faced with such ridicule, a sneer appeared on Zhang Yifei's face. This is the best thing about F1 racing. Even if you are booing and slogans for hundreds of thousands of people, as long as the roar of the engine sounds, there will be no other sound in your ears.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei feels that this feature is simply tailor-made for Chinese drivers, helping him avoid many noise attacks.
The three practices start according to the normal procedure. This time, you can feel that the speed of the cars on the track has been significantly improved. Because the fastest lap speed of the three practices is often the mapping of the lap speed of the qualifying race, and it can even be estimated to the final ranking.
Drivers will take this opportunity to do their best to run their fastest lap speed as soon as possible, so that they can have a rough understanding of their position in the qualifying race. Be prepared for dealing and mentally in advance.
The racing started to speed, and the audience in the stands also began to become more fanatical with the roar of the engine.
"Come on Montoya and let the F1 driver understand how powerful the Indy champion is."
"Villeneuve catches up, don't forget that you are the double champion!"
"Schumacher, you are the real king. Do you really think there is no one in F1?"
"Zhang Yifei, don't be influenced by the outside world. No matter how good your running grades are, we have our support behind it!"
Zhang Yifei's support voice is the weakest voice on the track at present, but they still shouted firmly, at least making Zhang Yifei understand that he is not fighting alone.
The track commentary center is still a full-time commentator Brendel, and is paired with an American event commentator Lewis.
Lewis is actually not a professional F1 commentator. His main business is to comment on the Indy Series. However, now the FIA and the American Automobile Association have almost publicly fought for the dominance of Formulas.
So the United States simply sent an Indy Series commentator, so that there would be no one-sided situation in the event commentary, ensuring that Indy racing could make sounds.
But this kind of combination is very uncomfortable for Brendel, because this partner has different positions and often has a scene of singing opposites, which makes him really not sure whether to refute or default.
Fortunately, Brendel has rich experience in commentating events. Even if the other party deliberately sings a bit of averse, he can still keep the commentary work smooth and peaceful, and he has done a good job.
However, with the retirement of time, Lewis's remarks still made him feel a little unacceptable!
"The Chinese driver is flying too slowly. I really don't know how he won the F1 point championship. Is F1 at this level?"
"After practicing the third practice, it's still the same lap speed. It's the tail of the crane when it is placed in the printing process."
"I really find it incredible how Montoya lost to Fei before!"
"Villeneuve and Montoya are still among the best lap times, this is the strength of the Indy champion!"
Listening to the repeated complaints from his partner next to him, Brendel had endured it before. He was just optimistic about Fei, a newcomer in China, which did not mean that he was willing to argue or prove anything for Zhang Yifei.
But many of Lewis' targeted remarks really made Brendel feel uncomfortable. This not only despise Fei, but also despise F1 drivers!
"Fei is a newcomer to the track today. It is normal for him to not adapt to the Indianapolis track. If I remember correctly, Montoya's lap speed in the first few stops of F1 was not very good, and it seemed that the ranking was not as good as Fei."
"But Montoya is not as arrogant as Fei, and dares to underestimate Indy Racing."
"Did Fei really despise Indy Racing? I bought Time magazine too. Fei just thinks he is stronger. Is it wrong to say that?"
It’s not that Brendel wants to defend Zhang Yifei, but that the other party is too inconsistent. Time magazine is there, and you can’t tell if you go to buy one by yourself, but you just want to believe in the inflated things from some American media.
Just as Brendel thought, Lewis didn't want to know what the truth was, he was just simply prejudiced.
"Even if you put the contempt aside, you are running slowly now, isn't it true?"
The third practice competition is about to end now, and Zhang Yifei's fastest lap is 1 minute 15 seconds 033.
This lap speed has been improved by nearly 0.2 seconds compared to the second training session, but it is not so conspicuous when other drivers generally improve their lap speeds. Zhang Yifei only improved from the previous tenth ranking to the eighth ranking, and the gap with Montoya or Villeneuve is still large, and he looks like he is not competitive.
Lewis' statement made Brendel a little irrefutable. The track is a place where results are concerned. If you slow down, you will be slow. There is no excuse or reason!
Just when Brendel didn't know when he should say it, there was a scream on the track, because the lap ranking was replaced at the top of the list. Schumacher, who had been lagging behind before, surpassed Montoya with a time of 1 minute 14 seconds 274, becoming the fastest lap at present!
It doesn’t matter if Zhang Yifei is slow, as long as the fastest driver on the track is from F1.
So Brendel was finally able to say ventricularly: "Lewis, the level of F1 has come out, and Schumacher is still the strongest king."
This time it was Lewis' turn to say nothing. He could imply any F1 driver on the track, but Schumacher was not in this rank. Because even the Indy commentator knew how terrifying the strength of this F1 driver was, Montoya and Villeneuve were far from his opponent.
After the third exercise, Zhang Yifei's lap speed was finally frozen at the verge of entering 1 minute and 14 seconds.
The crew members were not disappointed with this result, because this was a good result for the newcomers and Prost Racing, and Zhang Yifei has been improving!
But when Yamamoto Ukyo saw this lap, he murmured: "No, why is Yifeijun so much slower than the emulator last night?"
"What is the lap speed of the simulator in that flying?"
Henry, who was standing next to him, also asked casually.
"Breaking the lap record."
"What?"
This voice was made by Cosell, who was standing next to him.
"To be clear, is it the track record or the fastest lap?"
"It is the fastest lap of 1 minute 14 seconds 266 that Schumacher ran last year."
"What is the fastest flight?"
Cosell quickly asked.
"1 minute 14 seconds 241."
When they heard this number, several people at the maintenance station looked at each other because they all knew very well that the fastest lap speed of Zhang Yifei Running Simulator was at most 0.1 or 0.2 seconds slower than the track, and any track was no exception.
This time it was 0.8 seconds slower, definitely not the normal speed. What happened last night?
