Zhang Yifei's speed shocked Monaco's nights, especially during the F1 event. Many people actually vaguely guessed in their minds that this can only be the speed and operation that a level of F1 driver can achieve.

However, because it is the most ordinary Volkswagen golf and it is still on the street at night, it is impossible to confirm who the driver is.

In a sense, Xie Tiancheng's suggestion for buying groceries does save a lot of follow-up trouble.

Although it is difficult to catch an F1 driver in this era, it is not a last resort, Zhang Yifei doesn't want to jump from Fast and Furious to the script of Grand Theft Speed.

This "confrontation" between three people did not last long. Just drove around the streets of Monaco and Zhang Yifei returned to the parking lot.

After all, this is just a regret for the past, and running a lap is enough.

Zhang Yifei, who returned to the parking lot, waited for about ten seconds before he saw Zhou Yunhui and Xie Tiancheng, who were "Shanshan late".

Although they no longer had the intention to compete after seeing Zhang Yifei's strength, such a large time gap is enough to prove that Zhang Yifei is indeed much stronger than them now.

Zhou Yunhui got out of the car first and looked at Zhang Yifei and said with emotion: "I thought at first that I could run with you, but now I understand how ignorant I am."

"What did you say? Didn't you just run around casually?"

Zhang Yifei replied, "To his old friend, he never becomes arrogant and arrogant in the f1 paddock."

"No, fly."

"This is not because I am self-deprecating, but because you really let me see the limits and boundaries of Chinese drivers. Win a world championship to prove that this is also the limits and boundaries of world drivers!"

When talking about this, Zhou Yunhui was not as cold as before, but instead had an uncontrollable excitement in his tone.

From Zhang Yifei, Zhou Yunhui saw that his strength was not inferior to that of foreign drivers. From now on, when discussing the peak of driving skills, Zhang Yifei's portrait will also be carved on the racing president mountain!

I was excited to see Zhou Yunhui. Zhang Yifei didn't know what to say. Sometimes being too modest is a hypocritical one. Fortunately, Zhang Yifei has always been a relatively real person.

"I chose to compete in the most difficult Formula Racing just to prove that Chinese drivers can also stand at the top. So Zhou Yunhui, even if you don't need to say it, I will definitely prove this."

Listening to Zhang Yifei's firm words, Zhou Yunhui felt his nose sore. Once upon a time, this was the expectation and goal of all Chinese racers. Now, a Chinese driver finally came to the door of the Temple of the Gods.

Zhou Yunhui is a very strong driver. He doesn't want his emotional side to be exposed to his friends. So he turned his head and looked at the Port of Monaco in the distance.

Zhang Yifei and Xie Tiancheng knew very well about Zhou Yunhui's action and did not expose him at this time.

"Yifei, you kid is indeed much stronger than last year's Japanese station. No wonder you are confident of winning the world championship."

"I won't say much about anything else. China East China Railway Station, I'm waiting to see you reach the top!"

"I'll let you see it."

Zhang Yifei nodded. This is the man’s promise!

Many years later, the three people's gathering ended in such a street racing, just like the first time they met because of a street racing.

...

On July 4th, there are still 3 days left before the Monaco main competition, but there is only one day left before the Monaco practice competition.

The construction of team repair stations, racing assembly and inspection, wiring around the track, etc. have been completed. Just like the previous Singapore Grand Prix, the repair stations of Monaco Grand Prix were also concentrated in a building.

However, the media event center was placed in another building. Because Monaco is so valuable that every inch of land is hundreds of times smaller than Singapore, it is really difficult to build a new comprehensive building with a large scale. It can only be requisitioned during the competition and will continue to be used for civil use after the competition is over.

And what's even more peculiar is that the hotel where Zhang Yifei and his crew live is located is just above the tunnel of the track.

That's right, there is a tunnel in Monaco, which is different from the temporary tunnels caused by artificial auditorium building in Singapore. The Monaco Track is a real tunnel.

And a star-rated hotel was built above the tunnel. In order to save trouble and be closer to the repair station, Prost team chose to stay in the hotel above the tunnel. They could even stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window every day to watch some of the track scenes.

Of course, this kind of watching the track with the naked eye is not of practical significance to improving the driver's proficiency. So most of the time, Zhang Yifei and Alonso stay in the simulator training room and use the racing simulator to get familiar with this F1 crown track.

It is precisely because of the importance of the crown jewel, that all drivers want to conquer the Monaco track in this race. Therefore, the gunpowder before this race is stronger, and the drivers' practice intensity has improved a lot compared to before, even Zhang Yifei.

Alonso next to Zhang Yifei is now watching the simulator racing car attentively. Compared with the rebellious attitude at the beginning of the season, he has been much more low-key and tolerant. At least in the next few games, he rarely hears provocative and crazy words from him.

The reason is also very simple. Zhang Yifei used his significantly leading points and four sub-station champions since the new season to prove what the absolute strength of the No. 1 driver is, and suppressed the head brother's ambition and arrogance.

However, Alonso's performance this year was also very impressive. Although he did not win the sub-station championship, he basically entered the points zone in every stop. This was a surprise for Prost team.

The team's biggest expectation was that Zhang Yifei created a miracle and won the driver's championship. Now Alonso's points have given Prost a hope of winning the team's championship. At least in terms of the current points ranking, Prost is only slightly behind Ferrari, ranking second in the total score list.

As long as Alonso can maintain his current level and then become stronger in the second half of the season, it may be that Ferrari's three consecutive championship record will end in Prost's hands!

However, the results of the Monaco track simulator were not as smooth as the team imagined. Whether it was Zhang Yifei or Alonso, the fastest lap speed was not very ideal. At least it was in the fastest lap speed in F1, and the gap was still very big.

Because Monaco track is a track that pays great attention to experience, those narrow corners also require very high accuracy of tracking. Moreover, Monaco track can be regarded as the only track in the 17 F1 races, which basically has no buffer zones.

That's right, just like the downtown blocks in the city center, where houses are built next to them, there is no room for expansion of buffer zones at all. And the guardrails of the Monaco track are also very distinctive, unlike the cement walls of ordinary tracks, but like the guardrails next to the Chinese expressway.

Then, on the top of the guardrail, a layer of isolated wire fence similar to the Chinese highway, preventing people from climbing into the track. In a sense, looking at the Monaco track can be simply and roughly understood as driving on the highway is almost the same.

However, compared to the straight and flat highways, the Monaco track is uneven and has many curves. You should know that the F1 track is generally five kilometers long and only has a few more curves, while the Monaco track is only 3.340 kilometers, but it has up to 16 curves. The complexity is conceivable.

Nelson Piquet, a former three-time world champion in Brazil, described it as: "It is as difficult to drive an F1 car on the Monte Carlo track as if driving a helicopter in the living room. A small mistake may cause the car to hit the guardrail to finish work early."

But it is precisely because of the layout of Monaco's track that it has become the most popular track for car fans in the world, because not only can you feel the magical control technology of the F1 drivers here, but you can also get the most immersive viewing experience.

After all, f1 racing is to shuttle between blocks, and you can even poke out the window on the second floor and see the racing car racing passing by under the window. This visual experience cannot be given by all other venues. It may only be possible for rally or street events to achieve the same effect.

“Fuck!”

Alonso, who had finished running in a lap next to him, couldn't help but scream and scolded as he looked at the final lap speed on the simulator screen.

This scolding also attracted Zhang Yifei's attention. He glanced from the corner of his eyes. Alonso's lap record was 1 minute 15 seconds 773, while the current track record was 1 minute 14 seconds 641 created by Schumacher, and the fastest lap was also created by Schumacher in 1999, 1 minute 14 seconds 313.

As recognized by the outside world, a driver's peak period is to control the Monaco track. When Senna was the strongest, he won the jewel in the F1 crown for five consecutive years. Now it is Schumacher's peak period. Naturally, these track records are controlled by him.

The lap speed of 1 minute 15 seconds 773 was slower than the track record, and this was a perfect time in the simulator environment. If the speed was the same in the competition, it would be difficult to compete for the championship or even the podium seat.

Alonso was very irritable, and Zhang Yifei's mood was not much better. The fastest lap he had run at the moment was only 1 minute 15 seconds 511, less than one second from the track record, but the fastest lap from the pole position was a gap of one second.

You should know that in street races, pole position always represents the greatest advantage, not to mention on tracks like Monaco. Once the qualifying race is at the back, even if it is performed against the will, it may be difficult to make a counterattack miracle.

It’s not just because it’s difficult to overtake, but because there are too many accidents on the track, and everyone queues up at every turn, which can easily disrupt the rhythm of their own race.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei's bottleneck was mainly due to his proficiency. Last year, he did not run through the Monaco Grand Prix due to a car accident, so this crown track is completely unfamiliar to Zhang Yifei!

The kind of running on the street is really too different from the real F1 competition, and it is completely impossible to meet the actual needs. So what he can do now is to make up for his proficiency in the racing simulator, but the progress is not satisfactory.

Although Alonso ran last year, he was also a newcomer seriously. The reason was that the kid crashed in the practice competition last year, and the Minardi team members dragged it and continued to repair it until the main race.

As a result, I still had a half-baked man and quit the competition at the beginning of the main competition, which was equivalent to not running anything at all.

So now Zhang Yifei and Alonso have no choice but to rely on track information and press the reset button over and over again on the racing simulator to get familiar with the curves as much as possible. The difficulty is much greater than expected.

Thinking back to that night, Zhang Yifei was still energetic in front of Zhou Yunhui and Xie Tiancheng. Unexpectedly, just a few days passed and he fell to the difficulty of the Monaco track.

It is not an easy thing to take off this jewel from the f1 crown.

Of course, for an F1 driver, these objective factors cannot be a reason for his own failure. The competition only focuses on the results. If you lose, you lose. If you win, you are the winner, and you don’t care why you lose.

Just as Zhang Yifei and Alonso were concentrating on training, two figures walked into the simulation training room. One was the chief competition engineer, Cosell, who has basically stayed in the simulation training room these days, discussing the issue of routing with Zhang Yifei and Alonso.

After all, Kossel is just a race engineer. All he can teach is data, but it is difficult to have his own insights and personal experience like a driver.

The most suitable coach at this moment should be the boss Prost, because before Sena dominated the Monaco circuit, Prost also won the Monaco Grand Prix championship.

However, as the race schedule is halfway through, AAP06 racing will enter a critical R&D period next season. Theoretically, Prost team has no shortage of funds and R&D personnel this year, and the boss no longer needs to return to the racing R&D center to promote the promotion.

But the problem is that Zhang Yifei's strong performance this year not only threatened Schumacher's championship position, but also the Ferrari team's championship position. Next year's engine supply negotiations are not so smooth now.

The chassis is already being made and the engine has not yet been settled. If the Ferrari engine cannot be confirmed, then the chassis and engine size will not be matched. So Prost has already gone to solve this problem. If it is really impossible to talk about Ferrari becoming an engine supplier, then we will consider changing to Mercedes-Benz or BMW engines next year.

The two of them came to the middle of the racing simulator between Zhang Yifei and Alonso. Zhang Yifei turned his head and looked at Cosell, and there was no surprise.

But when he saw the person beside Cosel, his face showed an unexpected or even surprise expression.
