Seeing his students' serious expressions, Cosell did not be as stubborn as an "old scholar", but nodded in agreement with Yamamoto Ukyo's opinion.

In fact, Cosell didn't know these dangers? But he didn't want to reveal them in front of Zhang Yifei.

This is not because he is afraid of adding unnecessary pressure to Zhang Yifei, but because he knows this kid's psychological quality and ability to fight rain, and believes that he can deal with all possible unexpected scenes.

Just as he said when he was instructing Zhang Yifei in training, that is, as a professional driver, he cannot allow himself to have any shortcomings. Whether it is night battles, rain battles or street battles, they are all aspects that must be controlled, even if these three situations occur at the same time!

However, Yamamoto Ukyo's words reminded Zhang Yifei that he remembered the first "street race + rain battle + night battle" scene in F1 history, which was the 2017 Singapore Grand Prix.

The start of the race was "extremely spectacular". In just 9 seconds, the Ferrari Legion, one of the Big Three, crashed and wiped out the entire race, and took away Verstappen from Red Bull Racing and Alonso from McLaren.

The front-row drivers in the qualifying race were completely ruined, and Hamilton, who ranked fifth, got a big leak and became the champion of the Singapore station that year.

The reason was that Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen started very quickly and planned to start and overtake Red Bull's Verstappen. As a result, Ferrari's opponent Vettel started slowly and wanted to rely on the line to suppress the overtake players behind.

So Verstappen was double-stooded in the middle by two Ferrari drivers. In the absence of escapism, Kimi Raikkonen and Verstappen collided.

Because Kimi Raikkonen was hit on the right rear wheel, the classic "American stop" appeared, and the whole car was uncontrollably hit and hit the car of Ferrari teammate Vettel again.

After Vettel was hit, he also lost control and had arrived in front of Turn 1 of the track. Alonso, the McLaren team behind the rear, happened to pass by, and then he was caught in the shooting scene and was knocked out of the track by Vettel's curve.

In just 9 seconds, the Big Three Ferrari ended the race and took Verstappen to the other three Red Bull Racing teams. With Alonso in the beginning, four drivers were missing on the track.

At the same time, during the collision, a very classic picture appeared, that is, after Vettel was uncontrollably flipped his tail, he reversed in neutral and flowed through Turn 1 of the Singapore track.

I have to say that even Vettel, who was ridiculed as the "Crown King", could still react and control the car to reverse and turn when facing such a rapid track accident and completely out of control. It can be described as a shocking person.

It’s really not the critical moment. You will never feel how terrifying the F1 professional drivers are. Sometimes shocking operations will make people feel like they are non-human.

However, although Vettel did a good job of reversing and turning, the middle of the car had already hit a lot and finally had to choose to withdraw.

Zhang Yifei could not imagine that the 2017 rain battle in Singapore could be so "spectacular". In this era of particularly low finishing rates and many tough guys, if there were scenes in later generations, how many racing cars would have to be hit to solve the problem.

Zhang Yifei did not question his driving skills in the rain, but was afraid of being taken away by inexplicably, so he had to be guarded against some things. If it really rained, he had to try his best to keep a distance from other drivers, otherwise the drivers in his pole position would die together, which would be a big loss!

"Teacher, we will plan a more trustworthy rain battle track strategy based on the rain battle registration tonight."

Yamamoto Ukyo is still consistently rigorous and never ambiguity in the face of problems.

When I returned to the hotel, it was already 11:30. After Zhang Yifei took a shower, he looked almost twelve o'clock.

Because there is still a main competition tomorrow, Zhang Yifei did not keep training and simulator practice as usual during the game. However, when he discussed the preparation plan for tomorrow with Cosell and returned to his room and passed by the simulator practice room, he unexpectedly found that the light inside was on.

Pushing open the door, Alonso was sitting on the racing simulator, training on the Singapore track. His racing engineer Cod, next to him, was recording the practice data and providing guidance.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifei did not go in and disturb him, but gently closed the door. It seemed that he had a correct judgment on Alonso's psychological tolerance. He was not the kind of driver who had a mental breakdown after being "humiliated".

On the contrary, Alonso will try his best to become stronger and defeat his teammate who has "humiliated" him.

This is the effect Zhang Yifei wants, and he even vaguely expects in his heart. After all, after Schumacher, Alonso is the top driver who dominates the f1 paddock. Will he really fight with Alonso in the future?

The news that Zhang Yifei got the pole position spread almost all over Singapore and even Malaysia next door.

Many Southeast Asian Chinese viewed the news with a shocked attitude. They began to realize that Zhang Yifei, the Chinese driver, may be stronger than expected, and will truly stand firm in the position of the world's top driver!

Especially the Chinese in Singapore, their inertial thinking always believe that racing is dominated by European and American drivers, and no matter how strong the Chinese are, they are not as strong as European and American drivers.

But now many people have witnessed Zhang Yifei's first lap madness on the track and the final pole position in the future. This strength has broken their thinking and cognition. It turns out that in the world's peak car events like F1, Chinese people can also dominate the track.

Some people began to reflect on whether they were too arrogant before and did not really understand Zhang Yifei's strength? However, some people became more severely slandered and fell into a hysterical state of Ergou, and were reluctant to admit that Chinese drivers were better.

The entire Singapore started to talk about this qualifying race, and there was also the F1 team that was also under heated discussion.

At McLaren Repair Station, team chairman Dennis was so angry that he could describe his qualifying results.

Kimi Raikkonen ranked eighth, behind Prost No. 2 driver Alonso, who could barely accept the words. Then Kurthard ranked 12th, not even this year's f3,000 newcomer Masa, which is incredible to Dennis.

Last year, he was still a strong contender for the world championship. Although he finally failed, Kurthard won the world runner-up. The score outside the tenth place in the winter test has already made Dennis unacceptable, but he thought that it might be the last defeat in the last competition that led to Kurthard's depressed condition, and it is understandable that he fell behind in the winter test.

But now it's the qualifying match in the new season, and Kurthard still performs like this. With such a low result, you can imagine the ranking of the Singapore main competition!

"Kutterhard, what's wrong with you? Even the 12th qualifying team is not as good as the newcomer?"

Facing Dennis' accusations, Kurthard did not speak, and he himself didn't understand why the performance in the new season was so bad.

Looking at Kurthard's silence, Dennis didn't know what to say, so he turned his attention to Kimi Raikkonen. Compared with the previous dissatisfaction and regret, Dennis's eyes were filled with relief and attention.

Last year, he went against the crowd and protected Kimi Raikkonen, becoming the No. 2 driver of the team, continued to run for a year.

Kimi Raikkonen did not disappoint him this year. He entered the top ten in both winter tests and qualifying. And you must understand that this year's McLaren MP4-17 racing is not tailor-made for Kimi, and its performance is not as strong as last year. At least Prost and Renault racing have shown performance that is not inferior to McLaren.

So in the face of adversity of the team, Kimi Raikkonen can still go against the trend. As expected, he is the designated successor of Finnish champion Mika Hakkonen, and his potential has begun to be revealed.

In history, Kimi Raikkonen almost beat Schumacher in an old racing car, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop!

"Kimmy, you performed well in the qualifying race. The main racing team strategy team will consider your priority."

"In addition, the team R&D center has also begun to transform racing cars for you. Soon new pneumatic accessories and adjustment data will be sent to the team repair station."

When he heard this, Kurthard did not bow his head and remained silent, but looked at Dennis with an unexpected look.

Because this means that the team's resources are tilted towards Kimi Raikkonen. Does the team want to use Kimi to replace its No. 1 driver?

Because of Mika Hakkinen's support back then, Kuthard has always been very good to Finnish junior Kimi Raikkonen. He does not have the situation of other drivers suppressing the No. 2 driver, and even takes time to teach his racing experience to this Finnish newcomer.

But when he threatened his position, Kurthard finally couldn't keep his mind calm. He didn't expect that the team would make such a cruel decision just by defeating a practice game!

"Boss, I'm very grateful to Coothard, who is the No. 1 driver of the team."

Kurthad understood what Dennis' decision meant, and Kimi Raikkonen also understood that he respected and was grateful to Kurthad for not being willing to do something in the back at such a moment.

"The team No. 1 driver has not changed, but the management has decided to give you more opportunities. Don't you want it?"

Dennis spoke very directly, this is the cruel place in the F1 paddock. They are commercial fleets, not charities. Not to mention Dennis itself, he values ​​Kimi Raikkonen more.

After hearing this, Kimi subconsciously looked at Coothard, and the other party also looked at him.

Although Dennis said that the No. 1 driver had not changed, in fact, they knew in their hearts that from the previous up and down position, both sides had become equal positions, and even Kimi Raikkonen had the opportunity to replace him.

Kurthad understood the cruelty of the F1 paddock, but he didn't want to be replaced so soon, and the person who replaced him was Kimi Raikkonen, who was regarded as the care of his juniors!

There was no emotion in Kimi Raikkonen's eyes, just like his cold personality. After looking at each other for a few seconds, Kimi Raikkonen looked at Dennis and still expressed his choice with his usual "sweet words are as precious as gold" attitude.

"good."

Just this word makes Kuthard feel the coldness of Finland's winter.
