The engines began to roar on the track, and three racing cars started one after another, starting the winter test of the new season.

Zhang Yifei and the members of the crew were also standing outside the repair station, looking at the scene on the track. It was obvious that the competition in this winter test was much stronger than last year. The three drivers all started according to the competition standards and the reaction time was amazingly fast.

"These two newcomers performed well and started very quickly."

Henry first said, the quality of newcomers this year is too high, and he started the F1 new car for the first time and was so quick and skillful. You should know that in previous winter tests, there were often scenes of newcomers starting and shutting down, which were not in the same level at all.

"And it's not just that, it's very fast."

Prost added that the slight gap in lap speed cannot be seen by the naked eye, but from the accuracy of the driver's tracking, you can roughly guess the gap in lap speed. Schumacher operates as always at textbook level, and the Catalonian track is not difficult for him.

The routes between Helio and Masa cannot be seen with obvious flaws. You should know that they only ran a warm bead before. Being able to have this route level means that at least in the racing simulator, these two newcomers have trained a lot.

After a lap, Schumacher lap speed was 1 minute, 23 seconds, 337, and it was still a distance away from the current track record of 1 minute, 21 seconds, 892. However, you should know that the early winter test is more about testing cars, rather than running the fastest lap speed.

In addition, it is only the first lap now. The tire temperature cannot reach the optimal working condition in a short period of time in winter, so it is normal to slow lap speed.

But when Helio's lap appeared, a marvelous sound rang out in the pit station area, because he narrowly led Schumacher in the first lap and ran a time of 1 minute 23 seconds 299.

In addition, Masa's performance is not bad, and she ran a lap of 1 minute, 23 seconds, 516, far exceeding the average speed of the first lap of the newcomers in previous years.

"This Indy boy is really showing his sharpness!"

McLaren team chairman Dennis said in surprise that Schumacher's speed was already very fast on the first lap, and Helio could surpass him, which only one problem can be explained.

That is the Indy boy who deliberately drove this lap, and he wanted to surpass Schumacher to provoke!

There has not been a formal competition yet. It is really surprising that Helio showed off his provocative move when he first met in the winter test.

"After all, he has the Indy World Championship title and is also known as the strongest newcomer in Indy history. It is impossible to wince as low-key as a regular newcomer."

Team manager Whit Marsh explained that he saw the arrogance of the young Indy champion at the US Grand Prix last year. It was strange that he wanted to keep a low profile and avoid making trouble.

"I would have been better if Kimi had a sharp edge like him."

Dennis said with some envy, Kimi Raikkonen came to the team for a year and performed well. But perhaps because of her introverted and indifferent personality, people can't feel the vitality of the new driver, and there is no arrogance of being arrogant!

Needless to say, Helio has it, Montoya has it. Even the low-key and tolerant Chinese boy Fei, who is in everyone's impression, is also very arrogant.

Only Kimi Raikkonen is as calm as ice and rarely sees him acting outwardly.

"Maybe Kimi is in another style, maybe I believe he won't let us down this year."

During this winter break, Kimi Raikkonen also gave up his vacation and made every effort to prepare for the new season. Maybe he is not good at expressing his inner fighting spirit, but he proved the "Finnish Iceman"'s desire to win with his actions.

As the inheritor of the racing kingdom and the designated successor of the previous generation Finnish world champion Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen, was not qualified to fail.

Perhaps feeling Helio's provocation, from the second lap, Schumacher also gave up the test feedback and instead accelerated his own speed.

The four-time world champion driver, no one is qualified to be rampant in front of him. Not to mention that Helio is just a newcomer in the f1 paddock now. Even if he is the Indy World Champion, he must surrender in front of Schumacher!

Helio is not the kind of person who admits to his conscience. On the contrary, he has an excited expression on his face. After enduring the fighting spirit for a winter, he finally has a top opponent to take the call!

It was not surprising that Schumacher and Helio would compete, but what was unexpected was that Sauber's Masa also accelerated and had not been too far away by these two people.

In previous years, the F3000 champion entered the F1 paddock, which was basically the focus of the newcomers in the game. This is like the same group of freshmen entering the university, one of whom was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, which was naturally more eye-catching than others.

But this year Masa was suppressed by Helio, and he himself was not arrogant and seemed to have no presence. He thought he would not participate in this struggle, but unexpectedly, Masa entered the market.

Zhang Yifei looked at the scene in front of him and his thoughts were very complicated, because the original 2002 season in history was no match for the memories in his mind, and it can even be described as unrecognizable.

In history, Ferrari's 2002 season and 2004 season were both the era of Mars rovers. Among them, the 2002 racing car was almost tailor-made for Schumacher. The entire schedule was 17 races, and Schumacher made the podium all the way, which was a terrifying result.

Think about it, seeing that F1 is so competitive and facing various accidents and racing failures, Schumacher's worst score in the whole year is third. If it weren't for the real occurrence, many car fans might not have imagined that this scene would happen.

In the 2004 season, the car broke many track records and basically swept it. It was not only suitable for Schumacher, but also for Barrichello. The two won the first and second place respectively.

However, in the 2004 season, other teams also had good results in the Mars rover, Patton, Alonso, Montoya and others. They also broke many track records, so they were not as conspicuous as Schumacher's only standout in 2002.

Logically speaking, today's Ferrari's "Mars Rover" will leave other teams far behind. It will take two or three years for Renault to rise. Indirect Prost team can also be skilled, but it is not as good as Ferrari racing, at least it is better than other teams.

But now it seems that Renault Racing is not much slower than Ferrari Mars rover f2002. Is this Renault Racing strong performance or Helio's strength?

Zhang Yifei was thinking about the reasons, but such a fierce confrontation made the atmosphere of the team on the scene rise. Many members of the crew rushed to the track, whistling towards the speeding car, and waving their arms.

After all, it is not the time of the main race. Professional team members can also be excited about the passion of the drivers on the track like the audience.

In a sense, the scene of heroes competing for hegemony is more conducive to the development of the entire industry than a single show. The gradual decline of F1 in later generations is also related to the overly strong rule of Mercedes-Benz.

Even if you only watch the first few games throughout the season and get the message that Hamilton's racing speed is fast enough, you can predict the ending in advance.

The test lap speed continued to rise, and the driver's lap speed continued to rise alternately. Helio was constantly competing with Schumacher. However, Masa was not greatly distracted by them and was still closely behind the two people.

As time goes by, the first winter test of the three teams in the first round ended. Schumacher became the fastest lap in winter with a lap of 1 minute 22 seconds 081, with only 0.2 seconds left to the track.

This lap speed can be determined. This winter test will surpass Catalonia's track record by 100%, or even significantly exceed the track record. It can only be said that this year's new racing car is amazingly fast, and the winter test will usher in a bloody storm!

Helio was still slower in the end. The fastest lap in the first round test was 1 minute 22 seconds 203. However, this lap has already crushed Kimi Raikkonen's fastest lap in the first round of 1 minute 23 seconds 221 last year, and it was as fast as 1 second!

I can't believe what amazing results Helio will achieve after the racing training is completed. This appearance feels much more terrifying than Zhang Yifei last year.

Even the final Masa scored a lap of 1 minute 22 seconds 553 in the first round of the test, which was just like this in the final test of the newcomers in previous years. The strength of the f3000 champion did not shrink, but he encountered a monster-level newcomer!

When the first round lap quick results came out, the remaining drivers who had not tested were a little surprised. The reason was very simple. The first round was so abnormal, and there were two newcomers. So what kind of lap speed does your driver have to run to not be embarrassing in the first round test?

There are a few drivers here, and they may not even be able to run so fast even in the final lap test. So how can they run this new season?

Some teams are worried, but some are eager to try. It goes without saying that the Big Three is the one. If you are afraid of even the winter test, you are not worthy of calling them the Big Three.

In addition to them, Toyota and Prost were ready for the second batch of tests.

Needless to say, Prost is in the strongest period in history, and this year I used the Ferrari engine, so I want to see how strong this Ap05 is.

When Toyota team saw Zhang Yifei preparing to go on stage, Sato Dao could not sit still.

As the former strongest racing kingdom in Asia, now China has taken the limelight away. As a new generation of Japanese drivers entering the F1 paddock and under the Toyota team, he has the obligation and responsibility to show the strength of Japanese drivers!

In history, Sato Takuma does have a bit of a Kamikaze Death Squad. He is extremely reckless and impulsive on the track, and he feels like he is the grandson whoever pulls the accelerator. So there are countless scenes of crashing and the engine stepping on the cylinder, which has been criticized by European media.

But now he did not enter the British and American convoys, but came to the relatively reliable Toyota convoy. The history of the cylinder explosion may change, but his personality has not changed. Zhang Yifei came on the court and ignited the flames of fighting in his heart.

However, Zhang Yifei on the other side did not pay any attention to Sato Takuma at all, but was talking to Cosel.

"If you encounter the challenge of Helio on the track, do you choose to continue testing or compete for speed?"

Cosel asked Zhang Yifei, this was the foreseeable picture next.

"Submit him!"

Zhang Yifei replied simply and roughly, "Helio is too clear about his personality, and he is definitely not someone who can solve the problem by giving in temporarily."

The American boy is very fast, and Renault looks good, but I'm sorry, this time Prost ap05 is not inferior to any racing cars!
Chapter completed!
