714 Opening Pole (Chapter 3)

"Too fast! This speed is too fast. I have never seen Schumacher qualifying matches and can be dumped for 0.5 seconds."

"Someone said before that Fei was not good at night battles. It was so funny. I can say responsibly that Zhang Yifei has no shortcomings!"

"Absolutely Chinese car god, I'm going to get a pole position in the opening game!"

"Fuck me so excited, flying is even stronger than last year's rookie season!"

"Nonsense, Fei is better every year!"

Many supporters on the track felt ecstatic after seeing Zhang Yifei coming out at lap.

Even though this was just the first lap of the qualifying race and there was nearly half an hour left, Zhang Yifei used his lap speed to break the previous rumors on the track and counterattacked the remarks that mocked him.

Who said that Zhang Yifei could not fight at night, who laughed at the Chinese driver for being a flash in the pan? Let’s stand up and take a look now!

"Shumi, you have to be serious in the next lap, the flight speed is amazing."

Jean Todd finally passed the news to Schumacher through the team voice, because all the previous rumors were in front of this lap, so don't prove to be false.

The results of the Chinese Boy Practice Competition are either just not trying their best or acting. He is much better than he imagined in the new season!

"I know."

Schumacher did not have the kind of confident answer he used to be, but instead attached great importance to it.

Because his fastest lap speed on the racing simulator is 0.5 seconds faster than Zhang Yifei's lap speed.

But you should know that the racing simulator is an absolutely ideal environment, and the impact of the night is not as great as that of the site. However, for truly top drivers, the environment on the track can inspire fighting spirit and potential, and run faster than the simulator.

At the same time, there was a driver on the track who asked about his lap speed at the first time, that is, Indy champion Helio.

"Briattoli, what's my lap time?"

"1 minute 45 seconds 804."

Many people focused on Zhang Yifei, noticing that in fact, Shanghai Leo in the back row was also extremely crazy overtaking, even more radical than Zhang Yifei.

He started from the last 22nd, and when the first lap was over, he had already reached the 15th position. Zhang Yifei surpassed 4 drivers, and Helio surpassed 7 opponents!

However, the opponents that Helio surpassed are far less valuable than Zhang Yifei, so the attention is naturally lower. In fact, this is often the case on the track. The cameras are placed on the "Mars Group" in the front row, but the competition in the "Earth Group" is not inferior to the front row, and it is even more than that.

The reason is that the "Earth Group" is all drivers with equal numbers, and the number of people is large, so the competition scene is naturally more intense. Of course, it can also be said that various chickens in the Earth Group can peck at each other and even produce some comedy effects. In terms of viewing alone, it is really not bad.

But this is the first lap. Whether you can surpass it is not actually dependent on the opponent's strength, but whether they are willing to block the car.

If you follow the standards of the main race, then Zhang Yifei may not be able to easily surpass the first Hydefield after a lap, and it is even more impossible to achieve the amazing results of over four front-row drivers in a row.

The front-row drivers are unwilling to fight because they have greater ambitions and focus more on running faster laps, wanting to get points in the main race and get on the podium.

But the drivers in the back row often don’t have so many concerns. I can’t get any points anyway, so why can you still surpass yourself?

Therefore, the car-blocking movements that Helio faced in the back row were much more than Zhang Yifei. He was really terrifying to be able to run such lap speed.

Zhang Yifei always thought that drivers who were born in "wild" and who had run many underground racing cars had better advantages in night battle street racing than Formula drivers who were born in professional schools.

But in fact, this opposite is not completely correct. A boy like Helio who grew up in the car kingdom drove a large-displacement performance car when he was in his teens and galloped on American roads. In terms of experience in night battle street racing, Zhang Yifei may be even better than Helio.

This is why many people talk about racing heritage. In countries with such heritage, most drivers have extremely solid foundations, and it is difficult to have some fatal shortcomings, and their results are also very stable and competitive.

"Where are the drivers flying?"

Helio asked again. He had known that Zhang Yifei was overtaking crazy, so he had a premonition that his lap speed would not be very low.

"1 minute 45 seconds 627, flying is the fastest lap speed at present."

So fast?

When he heard this number, Helio, who had always been arrogant, had his face changed.

He knew that Zhang Yifei was not slow, but he started exerting force in the first lap, but Zhang Yifei was still faster than him. He overtook the top drivers like Ralph Schumacher and Barrichello. He could still have such lap speed. Are the Chinese guys so strong?

To be honest, if it weren't for the words from Renault Manager, Helio would have been a little unbelievable. In the last lap of the winter test phase, Zhang Yifei could only be slightly ahead of himself, and he still had the advantage of racing theory data.

It's only been less than a month, and I feel like I've left myself far behind. How did Zhang Yifei do it?

Helio himself encountered a car blocking, and subconsciously thought that Zhang Yifei was facing a situation similar to him. But he overtook some of the bottom rookies, and he was incomparable to the opponents who overtook Zhang Yifei. Is the driver Fei really that strong?

At this moment, Helio had various questions in his heart, and even had a little doubt about life.

At the same time, when the track commentator Brendel, the British commentator, saw Zhang Yifei's lap speed, almost couldn't help it and shouted "yse!" excitedly.

But after all, with more than ten years of commentary experience, Brendel finally restrained his emotions. Even though he was extremely excited inside, he still said in a calm tone: "Leo, I said that you can see the different lap speed of Fei, and it has appeared now."

Needless to say, when Zhang Yifei's name appeared at the top of the lap rankings, the face of Singapore's commentator Leo became ashen in an instant.

To be honest, although he and Zhang Yifei can be called esese, from the beginning to the end, Leo never looked down on these mainlanders and thought he was a high-level Chinese.

Not only Europeans and Americans have a sense of superiority, but many "banana people" also have it.

Of course, this is not absolute. It can be said that in this era, the mainstream view of Singapore is like this, and Leo is no exception.

"It's true that the lap is fast, but this is just the first lap. None of the other drivers ran seriously. The Chinese driver flew just took the lead."

What Leo said makes sense. Indeed, most drivers on the track warm up the tires at the normal pace and do not go all out to run the fastest lap speed.

"Is that so? Then do we want to make another bet? Even if the qualifying match is over, the flying ones can at least enter the top five!"

Brendel originally wanted to talk about the top three or pole positions, but hesitated when he said that. After all, his more than ten years of commentary qualifications are here, and a newcomer like Leo can say it casually. If he fails to predict it, it will affect his fame.

Moreover, he does not have much confidence in Zhang Yifei being able to run into the top three or pole positions. The main reason is that Ferrari racing theory data is too strong this year. In addition, several newcomers, including Helio, are also coming in full force.

As a new Grand Prix this year, Singapore has no advantages for its veteran drivers, and the street racing layout has in some sense weakened the performance gap between racing cars. After all, the maximum speed is 300km/h, and performance strength cannot be a decisive factor.

Faced with Brendel's active attack, Leo hesitated for a while and said: "If Zhang Yifei can run into the top five in the qualifying competition, then I will admit his strength."

"Is it that simple to admit strength?"

Brendel replied with a smile, but in fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was, what are you? Do you need to admit your strength?

Brendel's pressing step by step made Leo's face look ugly. He didn't expect that this British commentator would support a Chinese driver so much.

"Okay, if Zhang Yifei can run into the top three or pole position, I will publicly apologize to him!"

Hearing this, Brendel felt that it was almost done, so he nodded and replied, "I hope Fei can feel your apology."

Grassy Horse, what this old British man means, is that I have to apologize before I even ran away?

I don't believe it, what pole position can Chinese drivers really take!

On the track, Zhang Yifei's lap speed stimulation in the first lap, he started from the second lap and entered a white-hot state.

And a more bizarre scene appeared. The top three drivers on the track turned the qualifying race into the main race. Both Schumacher and Kurthard were soaring at speed wildly, not intending to give Zhang Yifei any chance to catch up.

Zhang Yifei did not specifically distance himself and created an environment for himself to brush lap. He also started to attack Coothard according to the standards of the main competition.

Others don’t know, but Zhang Yifei knows it very well. Last year, he was the peak of Coothard’s career. He has gone downhill and does not have the strength to compete for the world championship!

If that's the case, let's be my stepping stone for Zhang Yifei. In this year's opening game, I, Zhang Yifei, will make a splash and show the world the ambition to compete for the world championship!

The fact is as Zhang Yifei expected. Coothard was in poor condition in the opening match, and he did not have the aura of the top drivers last year at all. In fact, there were signs of this winter test, but people were like this. Without real fall, they would not have expected that the collapse would be so fast.

In a sense, Villeneuve was the same, and last year someone regarded him as a world champion.

In the 21st minute of the qualifying race, Zhang Yifei officially surpassed Coothard and began to rush lap with Schumacher. At this moment, Schumacher finally began to seriously exert his full strength. With the f2002 racing car, he showed his terrifying strength as if the car and man were united.

But he broke out too late, or under the premise of Zhang Yifei's full year of preparation, Schumacher could not have expected that Zhang Yifei had prepared for challenging himself in all aspects.

As the countdown above the starting line was completed, the half-hour qualifying match finally ended.

In this half hour, after almost every lap, the fastest lap speed on the display screen had to be changed. Even Zhang Yifei, who was fully prepared, could only play 55 when facing Schumacher, who was hastily responded.

Another thing that Zhang Yifei did not expect was that even the name of Helio could appear at the top of the rankings from time to time!

It can only be said that Helio has also fought for this qualifying race, and the layout of the Singapore track fully demonstrated the performance advantages of Renault Racing, which is no less than Ferrari and Prost Racing.

At this time, everyone's eyes were staring at the huge broadcast screen on the track. After more than ten seconds of waiting time, bright red numbers finally appeared on the black background board.
