722 Slope Night Battle
Zhang Yifei was already standing next to the car in the garage, and could vaguely hear the conversation between Alonso on the console and the team strategy group.
Zhang Yifei had no objection to Alonso's idea and didn't care at all. The reason was very simple. He had never thought about what kind of benefits he would guarantee by interfering with the adjustment plan and tire strategy of the No. 2 driver.
This was the case with Alessi before, and now it is the case with Alonso. Zhang Yifei can even compete fairly on the track. Whether he can achieve good results depends on his own abilities.
But when he turned around inadvertently, he saw Alonso's fighting look. It was obvious that this Spanish boy chose this radical adjustment plan, in addition to trying to hit the podium, a large part of the reason was to challenge himself.
It seems that the dialogue after the qualifying match deeply stimulated Alonso's self-esteem. He could not accept this "humiliation" and had to prove himself on the track no matter what.
Facing Alonso's fighting look, Zhang Yifei just smiled indifferently and did not take it seriously. In a sense, his concept is very similar to Cosel, which is that his teammates with fighting spirit, even if they are more inclined to be "enemy" now, they are better than a "health-keeping" driver who is stumbled.
The former is at least qualified to be cannon fodder, and if the latter doesn’t have some money to chew, it will be useless on the track!
Retracting his gaze, Zhang Yifei put on his helmet and then sat in the racing cockpit. At this time, the technical team began to remove the plug that linked the driving computer. Ah Hu came to the rear of the car to connect the ignition device, waiting for the track-controlled departure designation.
The clock was ticking and when it came to 7:55, the departure command from the track command center finally came out, and Koser also issued the ignition command at this time!
"Boom~~~!"
The dull engine roar began to sound in the garage, and the Ferrari engine used this roar to show its performance and power.
Zhang Yifei pushed his helmet down with a "pop", then loosened the clutch and rushed out of the garage and drove towards the starting point parking space on the track. Alonso, who was next to the garage, was also doing the same thing, with two Prost racing cars whizzing forward and backward.
"Look, Zhang Yifei's racing car is out, that blue and red No. 13 Death Racing Car!"
"Come on, Zhang Yifei and win the opening championship in one go!"
"You will definitely win this race, you will always be the proud driver in my heart!"
"Of course we can win, we Chinese drivers are not weaker than others!"
As Zhang Yifei's No. 13 racing car drove out of the maintenance passage, the audience in many areas of the stands were boiling. They stood up one after another, used all their strength to make a sound of cheering towards Zhang Yifei on the track.
Even if these sounds are zero, Zhang Yifei can hear them in the car, but this does not hinder the enthusiasm and expectations of the audience.
After all, being able to shout these cheering sounds at a Chinese driver in the F1 paddock is a historic breakthrough. Even a year ago, most Chinese fans here dare not imagine that one day they would proudly shout the slogan of a Chinese driver winning the championship before the main race began!
This is a breakthrough for Chinese drivers and also a breakthrough for Chinese racing!
However, these calls made many viewers in the stands look bad, but Zhang Yifei's performance in getting the pole position was too strong, and they had no confidence in wanting to sarcastically.
"Oh~~! The call for flying out is very high. He is worthy of being a pole driver in the Singapore Grand Prix. It seems that tonight will be a passionate night."
Brendel also shouted out the opening remark of the Singapore main match in an exaggerated tone. At the same time, he looked at the Singapore commentator Leo next to him from the corner of his eyes. Seeing his gloomy face, he couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
I feel relieved when I see you so unhappy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to watch the Singapore Grand Prix race. Some noise appeared on the track just now. Now the racing car in the broadcast camera is Schumacher from Ferrari."
"He is the only four-champion driver in the current service and is also the favorite to win the Singapore Grand Prix today. I believe Schumacher will show his strength in the Lions City and win the first Singapore Grand Prix championship trophy!"
Leo also spoke his opening remarks, but the content was hidden. While belittling Zhang Yifei's supporters' voices, he completely ignored the pole driver Zhang Yifei and started directly with the second Ferrari.
Zhang Yifei's early departure at the pre-match press conference was considered a complete contempt for Leo, which led to his disgrace and even the most basic professional spirit of commentary was not needed. How to do it?
However, his method did get some results, and even more enthusiastic cheers sounded from the track stands. After all, there were many fans of Ferrari and Schumacher, and many people who were unhappy Zhang Yifei also turned to support Schumacher.
Because on this track, if you want to say who is the most likely to sanction Chinese boys, it is Schumacher!
Brendel did not respond positively to Leo's dark little tricks. The British style of doing things is that he will not end easily.
Moreover, Brendel had already messed up Leo in the qualifying competition. He did not intend to put himself in a "war situation" for Zhang Yifei. So as if he hadn't heard it, he continued to introduce the drivers according to the process.
Zhang Yifei parked at the No. 1 parking space of the exclusive pole position. According to the order of qualifying, Schumacher stopped at his right rear and Helio stopped directly behind him.
At this time, Zhang Yifei looked at the Renault Racing Car behind through the rearview mirror and found that Helio used yellow painted soft tires, rather than green semi-rain tires like himself.
It is obvious that Helio has the same plan as Alonso, that is, he would rather take risks and pursue the ultimate speed on the track.
At the pre-match press conference, Schumacher and Zhang Yifei's repeated contempts deeply hurt Helio's arrogance. He did not expect that he, the Indy world champion and the most powerful Indy newcomer ever, was so unreserved by his opponents in the f1 yard.
You should know that although Helio eventually lost at the US Grand Prix last year, he was extremely arrogant after the whole process. He humiliated Zhang Yifei as a cat and a dog-level driver, and forced Schumacher, the first person in Formula to come out to fight.
Time has changed, and now he has come to other people's territory. It is his turn to be looked down upon, and in front of so many media. With Helio's personality, how can he tolerate it? If it weren't for the repeated dissuasion of Renault, Helio might have used a soft tire, but a more dangerous super soft tire.
He bet that all his lines were dry on the road, and whether they would slip when passing through wetlands and water-stacked sections would be left to fate.
It can be said that Helio really showed the madness of Indy drivers to the extreme, even Zhang Yifei felt inferior.
After all, Zhang Yifei's radicalism is within a reasonable range, and he has no choice but to rely on his life to fight back his disadvantages. Helio ignores it at all, and can even be said to be irrational, a pure mad driver.
When Zhang Yifei looked at Helio through the rearview mirror, he also locked his eyes tightly on Zhang Yifei's Prost racing car.
Regarding Helio's priority of hatred in the f1 paddock, Zhang Yifei said that he was second, and no one dared to be the first, Schumacher had to lean back. Not to mention that Zhang Yifei was still a pole driver today. If he wanted to become the final champion of the branch, Zhang Yifei would not be able to overcome the hurdle.
Helio has made up his mind that no matter what method he uses, he will make a big splash in the opening game. Let the whole world see that the Indy drivers are not weak, even if they come to the f1 paddock, they can still dominate the track.
I, Helio, had to take back the honor and dignity I lost on the Indianapolis track little by little!
Twenty-two drivers parked in the starting space, their eyes locked on the signal lights above the track.
When the five green lights lit up one after another and then went out at the same time, Zhang Yifei rushed out first and started his own warm bead.
At this moment, Zhang Yifei was followed by Schumacher. As the first person in Formula, he could not do anything with the warm beads. Therefore, Zhang Yifei could follow the process of warm beads to change the left and right lines on the track, and continuously accelerate and brake rapidly to increase the temperature of the racing conditions as much as possible.
At the same time, Zhang Yifei took advantage of the lane change to observe the slippery track very carefully and felt the difference in tire grip. He once had a shorthand experience when he was guided by Kosell's theoretical knowledge.
Now Zhang Yifei is doing the same thing, remembering the road conditions of the track in this extremely limited time to warm beads, so as to ensure that there will be no fatal mistakes in the next main race.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yifei discovered a very serious problem, that is, after the track was wet, the reflectivity of the light was severely reduced, and the road surface was difficult to see clearly. Most of the places that came into view were pitch black.
This feeling is just like driving on rainy days. If the color temperature of the headlights is too high, you can't even see the various traffic lines on the ground clearly. Although the situation is far less serious than driving on rainy days, the requirements of F1 are much higher than those of driving on rainy days.
Unless there is obvious reflection in water accumulation, generally wet road surfaces, Zhang Yifei cannot judge the slipperyness of the road conditions and the limit of the tire grip. At that time, it will rely entirely on extremely delicate throttle control and his on-site reaction.
