"Leo, the basics of Formula racing, just gives the driver a way to open the door and does not determine the driver's upper limit."

"Can Brazilian drivers compare with Britain and Finland? But in the f1 paddock, there are still three f1 world champions, among which Senna is even the legendary driver level."

"Although Fei does not have a solid foundation in Formula racing, this does not prevent him from performing in the F1 paddock. He won the Best Newcomer last year. I think his performance this year will be even stronger and he is qualified to hit the podium or even opener championship!"

Brendel said something strongly supported Zhang Yifei. After experiencing the track miracle of the past year, he always believed that the Chinese boy was definitely not just that!

"Is that true? But the rider's lap speed is not very good now."

Leo pointed to the practice lap ranking on the display, and Zhang Yifei ranked third to last.

The reason why he was ranked third from the bottom was that this was a blessing for a new track. There were two other drivers who were familiar with the track at a very slow speed, otherwise Zhang Yifei would be at the bottom of the lap.

Leo originally thought that the lap of practice competition is the best proof of Zhang Yifei's poor strength, but he didn't expect that Brendel burst into laughter.

No wonder this Singapore commentator showed a kind of contempt because of Zhang Yifei's identity as a Chinese driver. It seems that he did a bad job in preparation before the race. He didn't even know the driver's practice race habits, and he actually used his current lap speed as evidence.

But it's normal to think about it. This is the first time that Singapore has held the F1 Grand Prix. There was no full-time F1 live commentary before. So this Leo may still be the one who works temporarily.

"Leo, you will soon see a different lap of flying."

"Okay, let me wait and see."

The Singapore commentator's thoughts have not changed much, because the deep-rooted concept in his heart is that European and American drivers dominate the track.

The two were discussing Zhang Yifei on the spot. Many people also focused on Zhang Yifei's F1 team in the repair station building, wanting to see how earth-shaking lap he could drive in the fastest car this year in theory.

"Flying is still driving slowly. It seems that the real lap speed is exposed. We have to wait until the second half of the practice game."

Ferrari team manager Jean Todd's eyes were mostly locked on Zhang Yifei's racing car.

Because unlike others, no one knows better than their engine suppliers this year how excellent the performance of the Ferrari engine is. It is precisely because of how strong the performance of the engine they produce, that Jean Todd is so afraid of Zhang Yifei's lap speed.

Currently, Ferrari has won three consecutive championships, and driver Schumacher has also completed the defending title. This year's new racing car F2002 is extremely strong again. This year, the Ferrari board of directors and team management have regarded winning streaks as a goal that must be achieved. Jean Todd did not want this accident and appeared on the "knife" he gave out.

"Well, this is his habit of driving a strange track. He started to exert force after the first half of the training, or even the second practice."

Ross Brown, the director next to him, agreed that he had been running for a season, and Zhang Yifei's habit is known to everyone in the F1 circle, and no one would laugh at him for his practice lap times.

"But in addition to flying, Renault's Indy champion Helio is also worthy of our attention."

When talking about this, Jean Todd had a concern on his face, because the fastest lap in the first half of the practice competition appeared in the previous winter test track.

That is Helio and Schumacher, alternating with each other to refresh the fastest lap speed.

Although the practice is mainly based on racing adjustment, especially on this new track, drivers cannot run lap with all their might. But while Schumacher did not exert his strength, who knows how much strength Helio has played?

Just like the last time on the winter test track, many people thought that the fastest racing title this year would fall on the Ferrari team, Zhang Yifei and Helio both broke the fastest lap record in the track and greatly threw away Schumacher's previous fastest lap.

Now that Zhang Yifei has not taken action, the American boy has begun to show his strength again. Jean Todd is vaguely worried that the plot during the winter test will be staged again.

"Helio's performance is very strong, but this is also related to the characteristics of Renault's racing. The Singapore track is very suitable for their performance."

Renault's racing cars of all generations have never won by horsepower and torque. This is what Mercedes-Benz engines are best at.

It can stand in the f1 paddock and has also stood at the peak of the championship several times. Renault racing relies on the 90-degree engine angle, French cars' excellent chassis tradition, and excellent aerodynamics.

In tracks like Singapore, there is not high requirements for torque and horsepower limits. On the contrary, the requirements for the chassis and the air kit are very high. If you want to run, you must provide enough mechanical downforce to ensure that you grasp the ground in the corner.

This kind of track is exactly their strength for Renault racing design style. So it is not surprising that Helio's strength can run the fastest lap in front of top racing designers like Ross Brown.

"I'm worried that Helio will become the next driver."

Jean Todd's last sentence undoubtedly puts Zhang Yifei in a very high position, and even tells the public that it will cause an uproar.

No one would have thought that the Ferrari, the absolute king on the track, would attach so much importance to it, and it could even be said to be afraid of a Chinese driver.

In the Prost team repair station, there was not much attention to other drivers. Zhang Yifei and Alonso both kept sending racing feedback to the team to prepare for the next adjustment.

"Cosell, the air kit needs to increase downforce, and the mechanical grip provided by the suspension is not enough."

As soon as Zhang Yifei finished talking about his racing feedback, he heard Alonso’s requirements for his racing adjustment.

"Code, after entering the station, I lowered my track machinery and air kit and lowered the pressure by one level. The speed is not fast enough at present."

Faced with these two completely different adjustment requirements, Cod subconsciously glanced at Cosell, because the other party was the chief competition engineer and had the right to make the final decision.

But Cosel didn't say anything, so Cod had to press the call button himself and said to Alonso: "In this way, you don't have enough grip on the corner and it's easy to rush out of the track."

"Fast speed must take some risks, and I believe I can control it."

Alonso firmly demanded faster speed. Even if there was no open and secret battle with Zhang Yifei, the Singapore Grand Prix was his debut in Prost team. He needed to use his results to show his strength.

Suddenly hearing the words of the boss, Zhang Yifei felt extremely familiar, as if he had done something similar before, but now he has made a completely different choice from Alonso.

If someone who doesn't understand hears this team's voice, he will probably think that Zhang Yifei is afraid. He ran away from the newcomer stage in his second season, and no longer had the momentum of a newborn calf not afraid of a tiger, and began to transform from radical to safe.

Just like the famous online quote from later generations: After all, it became the kind of person I hated the most at the time.

But at this moment, Kossel's voice appeared in the team's voice: "The Singapore track is very consuming the front nose down pressure. If the air down pressure is not enough, it is not only a problem of grip, but also prone to imbalance in the body and overheating of the tires."

"Tyre heat plus brake system heat, do you want to blow tires on the track?"

Cosel's voice was dull, but there was an indisputable force in his words.

When he heard this, Zhang Yifei's mouth raised slightly. No wonder Alonso had various problems on the track last year, which probably had a lot to do with the unrealistic training plan.

If this is in Minardi team, it will probably be adjusted according to Alonso's feedback, because the new track team has no experience and is more based on driver feedback.

But Kossel is different. He has been at McLaren, the top three giants, and has rich experience in the competition. And more importantly, he is a professor of aerodynamics and can keenly determine the appropriate range of air downforce from sensor data.

So Alonso's adjustment requirement just hits the muzzle.

"I know, but I have the confidence to maintain the brake system temperature."

When he heard this, the smile on the corner of Zhang Yifei's mouth froze on his face.

Because he knew that he had made an arrogant mistake, that was that he couldn't help but look down on Alonso.

No matter how strong the boss of the future generations is, even if the driving skills are on the same level as Senna and Schumacher, that is all the future. Alonso is now a younger brother, the second driver who was suppressed by himself!

Zhang Yifei judged from the temperature sensor that the downforce was not enough, so he used more brakes, resulting in excessive temperatures of the tires and brake systems.

When he heard the conversation between Alonso and Cosel, he thought the boss had not made any judgment, and he still brainly lowered the pressure to pursue speed. Unexpectedly, Alonso also made the judgment, and on this basis, he still insisted on his choice.

You should know that at this time, the crisis of the tire temperature being too high was just revealed. Zhang Yifei found that the speed was fast enough, but Alonso was not slower than himself at all.

What does it mean? It represents Alonso's amazing understanding of the track! If Brother Toutiao's persistence is not blindly stubborn, it also means one thing, that is, Brother Toutiao not only discovered the problem, but also had a preliminary solution to solve the problem.

It is worthy of being a driver who has entered the President's Mountain level. Now it is gradually showing off, it is really a bit strong.
