The controversy between the two commentators can only make the results on the track to determine whose predictions are more accurate.

In fact, after the third practice, Zhang Yifei did not surpass Schumacher, and even fell slightly behind Barrichello. However, he also surpassed Schumacher's main game record last year and ranked third with a lap of 1 minute 32 seconds 657.

To be honest, this lap score is definitely a compliment for a F1 newcomer. The last newcomer who could surpass the lap record on the Suzuka Track was Villeneuve at the peak of his time. No one has been able to reach Zhang Yifei's level in the next few years.

However, there is another unexpected result, that is, Kimi Raikkonen, who actually surpassed Montoya and Ralph Schumacher and came to the fourth place.

You should know that Kimi Raikkonen has almost disappeared on the track in the second half of this year. Many people have forgotten that there is such a super newcomer on the track who created the miracle of "triple jumps".

Today, Kimi Raikkonen once again broke out his extremely high upper limit, running the fourth fastest lap in this track showing its hard power.

In fact, Kimi Raikkonen's hard strength is indeed not a problem. In his future career, he has created almost the fastest lap in countless training matches, and can even be compared with Senna at that time, not inferior to Schumacher at his peak.

But Kimi Raikkonen's transformation was too sudden. From the obscurity of the previous year, it will be evenly matched with Schumacher in the next year. The only thing that cannot be confirmed is the time when Kimi Raikkonen's transformation.

Once, Zhang Yifei thought that he had changed history, and that powerful "Finnish Iceman" in history would awaken in advance. In fact, history is still following its original trajectory. Kimi Raikkonen has not changed much, and the time for transformation is also far away.

As for Montoya, his inner conflicts and choices affected his game status.

In fact, it is the same to do anything. You must make a decision early and then go all out toward this goal. There are distracting thoughts in your mind, which has a great impact on racing, such as extreme speed movements.

Either Montoya's state is sublimated, or he sinks into it and makes a final desperate attempt.

After the third exercise, Kossel made more detailed tactical arrangements based on his performance and feedback on the track, and continued to reduce Zhang Yifei's fuel capacity by about one fifth to maintain the absolute lightweight of the car.

This fuel capacity basically leaves no room for 3 stops, and the three stops are implemented to the end. Even if the tires still have the allowance, the fuel will not give Zhang Yifei the chance to continue running. He must enter the station with a precise number of laps in the second stop.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei must ensure that the tire wears just right, not only give full play to the speed advantage of super soft tires, but not be too conservative or excessively worn, and always maintains the peak grip state.

It can be said that the entire team on the Suzuka Track, including Zhang Yifei, has already put the calculations to the limit. Since this is a remodel of the test track, then naturally the data should be the king!

In the afternoon qualifying competition, Zhang Yifei still maintained the lap speed of three practices, and the ranking did not change much. Because the starting order was fixed, Zhang Yifei paid too much attention to his own routing accuracy and tire oil consumption during the qualifying competition, rather than blindly running the fastest lap speed.

On the weekend of October 14th, this is the last main game of Formula 1 2000 season and the official finale.

The Suzuki track, which is a 100,000-person level, is full. There are at least 50,000 supporters of Yifei in the stands. The flags waving in the audience can no longer feel that this is a Japanese track.

At the Track Media Interview Center, five interview drivers were already sitting in the interview room, namely Schumacher, Kurthard, Zhang Yifei, Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen.

Needless to say, the first two are the champions and runners-up of this year's F1 season, and they are undoubtedly the biggest winners of this season and are bound to be qualified to participate in the pre-match press conference.

As for Zhang Yifei, he sat in the C position in the middle today, not because he was better than Schumacher and Coothard, but as the hottest superstar and the strongest Asian driver on the track, he came to Suzuka Circuit, where he was the well-deserved protagonist.

In fact, Montoya is not qualified to interview pre-match in terms of results alone. After all, he was knocked out of the track at the US Grand Prix and had no competition results. However, what he saw before the press conference was not the results, but the topic and gunpowder.

As Zhang Yifei's old opponent and even the "enemy" that collided with each other, no one is more suitable to sit here than Montoya.

Kimi Raikkonen's attendance surprised many people. After all, his performance this year was too poor. Even if the Suzuka track recovered a little, it was still not enough to attend the pre-race press conference.

However, Kimi Raikkonen is the initiator of this year's newcomer war. Barrichello and Schumacher Jr. do not have much intention to accept interviews, so the final battle will end him.

This arrangement that is equivalent to making up a number is actually a kind of contempt and humiliation for Kimi Raikkonen. But he still comes. Escape from humiliation is the behavior of a coward, and facing it and fighting back is what the strong should do.

In fact, there is another thing Kimi Raikkonen doesn't want to admit in his heart that it is this kind of response he learned from Zhang Yifei.

It was this new Chinese man, even when facing the cold eyes and ridicule of hundreds of thousands of people, he showed the courage and determination to fight alone with one person. He used the method of conquering the Indian local formula holy track to fight back all the humiliation.

At least after the US Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen rarely saw those publicly contempt and ridicule of Zhang Yifei in the US media, and at most they were sarcastic with a dark mentality.

But so what? Being able to shut up the question is the best compliment to Zhang Yifei’s victory!

After the five interview drivers arrived, there were hundreds of media reporters in the audience. As the final battle, basically mainstream media from all over the world sent reporters to report. After all, this year's F1 season has been a very exciting session in recent years.

Not only did powerful newcomers such as Zhang Yifei and Montoya emerge, but they also triggered a Formula War. What no one expected was that a Chinese driver finally stood at the peak of victory.

The first person to be asked about the interview was a reporter from Japan's Kyodo News Agency, which is Japan's largest news agency and a semi-official news agency, which is equivalent to the status of China's Huaxin News Agency.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, as the champion of the US Grand Prix and the winner of the Indy 500 event, how do you evaluate your newcomer season?"

What is your evaluation of yourself?

Zhang Yifei was a little surprised when he heard this question. Usually, pre-match press conferences are asking about things about this game.

But it’s normal to think about it again. This game is the final battle, which is equivalent to the end of a season. It is normal to ask some summary questions.

But how to answer made Zhang Yifei hesitate again. Let’s brag, I feel a little inappropriate when I’m bragging myself. But if I don’t brag, I feel sorry for my arrogant and arrogant image.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yifei made a decision not to swear or not!

"My evaluation of myself is the strongest newcomer, no doubt about it."

When this sentence was said, Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen next to him both subconsciously placed their eyes on Zhang Yifei, with the expression on their faces very complicated.

They wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason to refute, but they were so unwilling to accept it!

But when this sentence was said, the audience in the stands were infuriated, because most people had never seen it. A Chinese driver could interview before the F1 race, with such a confident and domineering side, and no one dared to refute it.

"Domstic! Only Zhang Yifei dares to say such things!"

"That's right, I never dared to imagine that our Chinese drivers dare to call themselves the strongest in the f1 paddock."

"Seeing Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen's faces were not shown, there is no way to argue in front of their strength!"

"I believe that now, and one day I will see Zhang Yifei standing at the top!"

Not only was the Chinese audience excited, but the Japanese audience was not too frustrated.

"It is worthy of being the devil of the Empire. Only Lord Yifei can speak in front of European and American drivers."

"Only the driver who has been chased by the Blue Death God can understand the horror of Yifeijun."

"This year is the strongest newcomer. Next year, you will become the strongest king."

"Old Yifei, I would like to call you the strongest in the world!"

"Grandpa Yifei, please, please become the real god of car!"

This is the case in this world. When Zhang Yifei's strength reaches its peak, no one will regard him as an arrogant Chinese boy. No matter how uncomfortable he feels, he can only hold it in!

The strong will inevitably be recognized and respected, especially in motorsports.

"Mr. Montoya, I saw that your expression was not very good-looking. Are you dissatisfied with Mr. Zhang Yifei's remarks?"

Soon a reporter captured the change in Montoya's expression on his face, and today he was able to become a pre-race interview driver, and his grudges with Zhang Yifei at the US Grand Prix are also one of the focus today.

"I'm not dissatisfied. He is indeed the best driver of the new season this year, no one."

Montoya said this calmly, without the anger and dissatisfaction as expected, as if he had admitted Zhang Yifei's leading position.

Zhang Yifei's expression was even more surprising than before when it came to Montoya's answer. After all, as a pastor of history, he knew what kind of bad temper Montoya had. In the end, even F1 could not survive. No team dared to ask him for the "team cancer".
