711 Don't think too much
Zhang Yifei's crazy performance at the start of the game also gave a heart-boosting shot to the Chinese audience who were worried about his performance in the practice game.
This kind of operation is Zhang Yifei's normal performance. The arrogant driver of Zhang Fei came back last year!
"I did a pretty job and I had more than two opponents at the beginning. This is the strength of our Chinese drivers!"
"Montoya is really vulnerable, the Indy champion is just like that!"
"Hellio wait, you will soon have the same fate as Montoya!"
"Also, it is a joke to say that Zhang Yifei's night battle is a shortcoming!"
The various rumors on the track before really made many Zhang Yifei supporters worried that he would not be able to adapt to the Singapore night battle environment.
Some people even began to wonder if Zhang Yifei lost himself in the praise of the media and car fans after achieving good results last year, and a situation similar to that of hurting Zhongyong was discovered.
Now it seems that these worries are redundant. The driver Fei is still so strong, and the Chinese car god deserves it!
Even more than two drivers started, and they were also drivers with very high rankings last year. This made the previous audience who mocked Zhang Yifei for being incompetent in the new season with extremely ugly expressions on their faces.
Especially when seeing these Chinese country bumpkins getting proud again, they pushed their unhappiness to the top.
"Do you understand what the first round is? Chinese country bumpkins who have never seen the equation."
"No one started the qualifying competition seriously, just letting Chinese kids get a hole. Do you really think that more than two cars can get pole positions?"
"I want to get a pole position, have you asked us if the Ferrari team?"
"Fuck you! Are you also worthy of insulting the Indian local formula champion?"
"Halio will kill your Chinese drivers, long live the United States!"
The defeat of the Indian local formula by Zhang Yifei is an eternal pain in the hearts of all American car fans and Indy enthusiasts.
So when we mentioned this, many car fans at the scene were as if they were poked at g-points, and all kinds of shouting and scolding began to sound. I have to say that there are many people and loud voices. Several car fans from several sides united to suppress the voices of Chinese car fans.
In the Prost maintenance station, seeing Zhang Yifei's radical opening method, the strategy team was happy and a little worried.
"Is Fei a little too emotional? The practice competition is under some pressure, so it is released in the qualifying competition?"
Prost said, he had not watched Zhang Yifei's official game for a long time.
In this move in the qualifying race, Zhang Yifei was obviously emotional and felt like he was making enemies everywhere. If he could easily run the fastest lap, if he couldn't, it might cause other drivers to block the car later, affecting the final result.
Moreover, for F1 racing, the fastest lap speed is basically released in the middle and late stages. Because the oil temperature was just right at that time, the drivers entered the state. More importantly, the car was significantly reduced after fuel consumption.
At that time, the sprint lap time will encounter an opponent's explosion, even if it is only a small delay of 0:00 seconds, it will have a great impact on the final result, and may cause a few rankings to fall.
So now Zhang Yifei's behavior of making enemies is not very wise.
"If there is pressure in practice, you can't complete the test that requires extreme calmness."
Cosel replied lightly, and he couldn't stand Prost's "fear of trouble". When he was a driver, he also avoided risks in various ways. Now he is a boss, so he is still cautious.
"Then why did Fei do this?"
"Why are there so many? He just wants to drive quickly, can't he do it?"
Kossel bluntly criticized Prost. A driver had such complicated ideas on the track. Not everyone is called the "Doctor of the Car World" just like Prost.
If you want to drive faster and want to surpass the front car, just do it! If the other party is unwilling to block the car, then do it!
The champions and pole positions on the track are all won back, not by making connections!
Kossel's words made Prost speechless. If anyone of the crew members dared to speak to the boss like this, and would just turn against him or fire him if he didn't say anything, it would be difficult for him to live in the convoy in the future.
But facing Cosel, Prost could only endure this tone. Ten years ago, this old German man had such urinary spirit and could not let him get out, so he could only endure it!
In fact, just as Kossel said, Zhang Yifei did not consider so many pros and cons. He just wanted to drive a fast train and experience the performance of the new generation of Prost Ap05 in the real F1 confrontation.
Because before, whether it was the winter test or the qualifying competition at the Singapore station, it was not a real confrontational event, but was each running its own.
In fact, in theory, it cannot be considered a confrontational event, but at least it is much better than test and practice competition. Zhang Yifei has been patient for a long time. It is time for Prost to show his true strength!
The crazy engine roared, and the feeling of riding on Ap05 for the first time came again. The racing performance is here, and the strong is strong. The impact brought by the surging power is really not comparable to that of the previous JS53.
Ralph Schumacher, who is also from Williams, ranked fourth in points last year, second only to Ferrari's two peak drivers, and McLaren's Cooterhard.
Although no driver of Williams team entered the top three of the year last year, the points of fourth and fifth still surpassed McLaren and became the runner-up team last year.
Montoya was overtaken by the convoy, and he was also quite shocked at this moment.
Chinese boys have always been arrogant and arrogant in the f1 yard, but they are greedy everywhere in the qualifying competition, which has exceeded the general arrogance. The drivers have achieved good results last year, but they began to be arrogant and not take other drivers in the yard seriously?
Williams' strategy group did not issue instructions to let Ralph Schumacher block the car. After all, for the team, results represent everything, rather than all kinds of revenge and fighting on the track.
So whether to intercept Zhang Yifei depends entirely on Ralph Schumacher's own choice.
However, most of the audience and crew members in the enclosure think that Ralph Schumacher would not spoil this Chinese boy. Even if the qualifying and blocking car is meaningless and both sides suffer, many times people live in the world just to fight for a breath!
Everyone is looking forward to the crazy showdown between Zhang Yifei and Ralph Schumacher to see if the strongest newcomer last year can still maintain strength when facing the top F1 drivers this year.
Even Zhang Yifei himself was full of fighting spirit and was ready to fight Ralph Schumacher. After all, even Super Hydefield and Montoya had certainly taken advantage of their unpreparedness and had never had a real showdown.
Now facing Ralph Schumacher, even really test ap05 and your own strength!
But at this moment, a scene that surprised almost everyone appeared. Ralph Schumacher did not block the car and counterattacked, but gave up the overtaking route and let Zhang Yifei go.
"What's going on? Don't Ralph dare to fight Fei?"
Dennis of McLaren Repair Station said in a surprised tone. He wanted Ralph Schumacher to test Zhang Yifei's strength and quality this year, but he didn't expect that Schumacher actually chose to avoid the battle!
"The driver Fei did perform very strongly last year, and he won the fastest racing car in the winter test, but Ralph Schumacher is not yet so dare not run with him, right?"
Team manager Whitmarsh's face was also full of shock. You should know that Schumacher Jr. is currently recognized as the top five driver in the F1 field. Many people even regard him as a future world champion, believing that he can continue the miracle of his brother Michael Schumacher.
For example, the Toyota team later paid a world championship signing fee and signed Ralph Schumacher to its own team.
Top drivers are not only about strength, but also about fame and status. This may be a rare top driver in F1 history that dares not face the challenges of newcomers and strong men. Is the power of Chinese kids so exaggerated?
"I don't think Ralph Schumacher is afraid of flying. He probably just has no fighting spirit and doesn't want to use all his strength in the first lap of the qualifying round."
The genius designer Newe couldn't help but say something, he didn't think it would be like this.
The biggest difference between Ralph Schumacher and his brother is his fighting spirit and desire for the championship.
This is a romantic playboy. During the competition, he can match the racing girl with the same kind of person as the one in the repair station. His performance and driving skills on the track are good, but he lacks the unstoppable smell of Big Schumacher.
But no matter what, Ralph Schumacher is a top driver. If he is afraid of being afraid to face the challenge, his career will end here.
In fact, as Newey guessed, Ralph Schumacher decided to prevent the car from fighting head-on after thinking.
This is not because he is afraid, but because he doesn't want to do these indifferent struggles in the first lap of the qualifying tournament.
Zhang Yifei wants to run fast because of his choice and personality. Ralph doesn't want to fight so quickly, and it's also his style, not as complicated as those outside the field think.
In fact, there is another reason, that is, he wants Barrichello, who is ahead, to try the waters and witness how strong Zhang Yifei is in the new season and whether he can adapt to the night battles of the whole track.
However, Ralph Schumacher was indeed a little shocked at this moment, that is, Zhang Yifei's overtaking speed and route were obviously more straightforward than last year, without any unnecessary movements.
Almost as soon as he revealed that he didn't want to fight, Zhang Yifei seized the opportunity and exceeded it, and he didn't even have time to regret it.
Looking at the posture, Fei knew the comments from the outside world after the practice competition, so he was so crazy in the qualifying competition. If he wanted to run an amazing lap in the first lap to prove his strength?
