In the third lap of the qualifying tournament, Schumacher showed his dominance on the Monaco track, surpassing Zhang Yifei's speed in the second lap in one fell swoop, shortening the lap time to 1 minute 14 seconds 478.

The fastest lap speed on the Monaco track is the 1 minute 14 seconds 313 that Schumacher ran in the qualifying race the year before yesterday.

It is obvious that his lap speed is not his limit. Zhang Yifei did not show his fangs in the previous practice competition, and Schumacher did not squeeze all his strength.

This is why Schumacher has always been very confident and plans to teach Zhang Yifei to recognize who is the "King of Monaco" because he is the peak of this track at present!

Many people don’t know what is the difference between the fastest lap and the track record. They think that since the fastest lap speed is the track record?

This may be valid in sprinting and other sports, but it is difficult to equate in racing. The reason is that the race duration is nearly two hours and the number of laps is about 70 laps. It is impossible for drivers to only consider the fastest running one lap. If you want to win the championship, you must have the fastest overall time.

In a sense, the main race of racing is a bit similar to long-distance running. Long-distance runners can run the fastest lap in a lap, but what about after running?

When your running rhythm is disrupted and your physical strength and state are consumed in advance, you will be waiting to be eliminated later.

The same is true for racing. If you don’t need to consider the overall results of practice and qualifying, you can use light oil, super soft tires, adjust air kits, etc. to get as fast as you can.

But in the main competition, do you want to withdraw from the competition and become an audience after completing the fastest lap?

Therefore, only the fastest lap speed that runs out of the main race can be called the track record, while other fastest lap speed that runs out of the practice and qualifying races can only be called the fastest lap.

Theoretically, the speed of track record is not as fast as the fastest lap. However, there are always some strong people and perverts in this world. Maybe the performance of a certain circle of gods has created a peak record, and there is no absolute statement.

Schumacher won the title of fastest lap in the third lap, which was not as amazing as Zhang Yifei before. Many people subconsciously think that Schumacher is the fastest running for granted, and it would be big news if he couldn't run away from his opponent.

But in the next fourth lap, another name surpassed Schumacher and reached the fastest lap in the qualifying race. He is Helio from Renault!

This American boy can be said to have adjusted all the racing cars in an extreme direction, and is ready to snipe Zhang Yifei the fastest lap.

He wanted to let the world know that no one can compare to himself in terms of talent. Helio is the real pride of heaven!

It has to be said that Helio did wait for this opportunity and welcomed Zhang Yifei's firepower in the qualifying match. However, Schumacher's counterattack was faster than everyone expected. The idea of ​​surpassing Zhang Yifei to stand at the top of the list has now become surpassing Schumacher.

However, this coincidence made Helio's call for the Monaco track even higher. After all, the value of defeating Schumacher is greater than that of Zhang Yifei at this moment.

"We really underestimate the young people today. I thought they were just flying with full firepower. Now Helio is also proving to the world that his Indy King's strength and identity!"

Jacques couldn't help but sigh again. He had been commenting on the Monaco track for more than ten years, but he had not encountered such a passionate qualifying race like today.

This is not to say how amazing the speed or driving skills are, but today's qualifying competition makes people see youth and passion. It would be nice to have a top newcomer appear in f1 history after a few years, but now it has a blowout trend.

Even Monaco, which is known as the most difficult track, can no longer stop these young drivers from conquering.

"Yes, among the young drivers, in addition to Fei and Helio, there are Kimi Raikkonen, Montoya, Alonso, etc., and even this year's new F3000 champion Masa has shown strong potential."

"But I'm a little better than you. Last year, Fei told me with his own performance that he would never underestimate the newcomers on the track."

Brendel replied with a smile, after all, he experienced the crazy season created by Zhang Yifei over the past year, and the on-site impact he suffered was not as great as Jacques.

"Is that true? Now Schumacher, Helio, and Fei have shown their strength to capture pole positions. Who do you think has a greater chance of taking pole positions?"

Jacques spoke and asked Brendel, and the British commentator really had to know the drivers on the track better than himself.

"I don't know this. Maybe the title of King of Monaco this year will leave the suspense to the end."

Brendel shook his head. It was not that he was worried about leaving any talk, but that he really couldn't predict who could get the pole position and who would become the conqueror of the Monaco track this year.

After all, there are too many surprises on the Monaco track, and Kurthard, Ralph Schumacher and Alonso have also not slow lap times, so anyone can win the final pole position.

Faced with Brendel's answer, Jacques did not continue to ask questions. In a sense, leaving the suspense to the end is equivalent to admitting the strength of Fei and Helio from the side. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as suspense in front of Schumacher!

"Fly, Helio's fourth lap was very fast, and he ran the fastest lap he has at present."

In the Prost team repair station, the leader Henry reminded Zhang Yifei, saying that they thought Zhang Yifei's explosion was already strong enough, but they did not expect that Helio could still be killed halfway.

The fourth lap of the American Boy's qualifying match was a surge in comparison to his practice match results.

This situation made Henry feel a little worried. After all, Zhang Yifei's simulation training lap speed was not very good before. He only ran the fastest lap in the practice competition once, but Helio has been stable in the front row, which is still a little silly.

Regardless of whether it is admitted or not, the title of Indy's strongest newcomer in history is enough to be scary and fearful. Even if Helio is a real F1 newcomer this year, no one dares to take him completely lightly.

Now Helio is beginning to burst out his potential. I wonder how much potential Zhang Yifei has to tap, and whether he can eventually surpass the other party?

"I see."

Zhang Yifei just replied simply, but this sentence was heard by the members of the crew, and the big stone in his heart felt like he was put down instantly.

The reason is very simple, that is, Zhang Yifei's tone is very plain, just like Helio's fastest lap speed, and he didn't take it seriously. Without absolute confidence, he could not maintain such a stable mentality!

Although Zhang Yifei has always had the impression of being arrogant and arrogant in the f1 yard, he has never been a driver who can't speak out.

Since he is not nervous and solemn, it means there must be a way to surpass the current Helio, and the crew members only need to wait for the results.

The waiting time was not long. When the qualifying race came to the fifth lap, the fastest lap that Helio had just run out was broken, and more than one driver broke it!

Zhang Yifei and Schumacher both surpassed. Helio only maintained the fastest lap of one lap, and Zhang Yifei's lap also broke the fastest lap of the Monaco track that was once maintained by Schumacher in 1999!

That’s right, when Zhang Yifei’s lap speed of 1 minute 14 seconds 277 appeared on the big screen of the track broadcast, the scene was filled with boiling sounds, and cheers and applause resounded through the sky!

The reason is that Monaco's fastest lap record has always been controlled by Schumacher since the death of the track accident in Senna in 1994. He has experienced several different F1 world champions in the middle, and the Monaco Pearl was also held in the hands of Mika Hakinen and Kurthard.

But no one can truly surpass Schumacher in lap times.

Eight years! In the past eight years, the record of the fastest lap in Monaco track is like becoming Schumacher's solo show alone. He is the only one who can surpass Schumacher!

Many people watched the crazy lap of the practice competition before the race, and had a premonition that this year's track record and the fastest lap will be broken. However, most people think that even if it is broken, Schumacher felt threatened and broke the dusty record with his own hands.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei, who was ranked third before, would show such a fierce leap forward, not only regained the top spot, but also directly broke the fastest lap record in the qualifying competition!

"Damn, I'm not mistaken in the numbers on the display. Did you run for 1 minute 14 seconds 277?"

"You read that right, it's just this lap, and it's the fastest lap on the Monaco track!"

"fuk! The magical Chinese boy, only flying can run out of this incredible lap!"

"Schumacher's record has been broken. Is it said that the next King of Monaco is about to be born?"

"What's so strange about this? Have you forgotten Zhang Yifei's identity as the Indy 500 Conqueror?"

Finally, this Zhang Yifei fan was full of pride when he said this.

This group of local buns have never seen the world. The driver Fei stepped on the head of 300,000 Americans last year and said that he was conquering the Indy 500 event, which was the real shock.

Now it is just breaking the fastest lap speed. When Zhang Yifei wins the title of King of Monaco and conquered this Monaco track, let’s be amazed again!

Fans' admiration is blind. In comparison, the members of the F1 professional team in the paddock are actually even more surprised.

Because they understand better how difficult it is to break Schumacher's fastest lap speed, and this time, Zhang Yifei directly increased the lap speed from 1 minute, 1 minute, 14 seconds, 507 in the second lap to 1 minute, 14 seconds, 277 in the current lap, which is close to 025 seconds!

The lap speed of any track is getting more and more difficult to increase the lap. In this case, Zhang Yifei can still increase the lap by 025 seconds, which is a bit chilling!

Many members of the crew did not think that the fastest lap in the first practice race was Zhang Yifei's limit. However, no one could imagine that Zhang Yifei's upper limit would be so high that he directly broke Schumacher's dominance over Monaco in a newcomer manner!

"It's so strong! I deserve to be the Lord Yifei of the Empire Demon King. Last year's next generation king, is it going to become a generation this year?"

The leader of Toyota team, Ueto Hirakawa, was shocked when he saw this lap.

He never dared to imagine that Monaco's peak world track could one day be conquered by an Asian driver. And it also broke the track's fastest lap record from the hands of the ultimate devil Schumacher.

This Monaco track represents the driver's limit on the control of the car and is a reflection of absolute hard power. Zhang Yifei was previously called the Chinese Demon King. If he could maintain this speed, Schumacher's throne would be replaced!

"It's indeed the glory of the empire."

Toyota Motorsport President Miyato Tomoda has an uncontrollable envy in his tone.

It would be great if Zhang Yifei was a Japanese driver. If he matched the strength of the Japanese automobile industry, this would be the real strongest king in the world.

It’s just a pity that Zhang Yifei is a Chinese!

Not only the Toyota team envied, but even Sir Williams couldn't help but feel turbulent after seeing this amazing lap.

If I could have given up the face of the three giants in the Renault Formula and sign this Chinese boy. Then the crazy screams and applause on the track now should belong to Williams.

"Shumi, flying in the lap just now broke the fastest lap you created in history."

When Zhang Yifei came out at the horror lap, Jean Todd told Schumacher the first time.

"What?"

Schumacher, who has always been calm, showed his shocked tone during the voice call of the fleet for the first time.

If Zhang Yifei surpassed his lap, he could still accept it because this qualifying match was not over yet, Schumacher would not believe that the lap of 1 minute, 14 seconds, 507 is Zhang Yifei's limit!

But he didn't expect that Zhang Yifei could be so fast, surpassing his fastest lap speed in history. This is simply impossible. The Chinese "newcomer" who ran the Monaco track for the first time can really be so talented?

Not to mention Schumacher was shocked, even the battle-hardened Ferrari strategy group, when they saw the lap rankings appear, they all stood in front of the monitor.

It's not an exaggeration to call this lap speed a miracle. Even Schumacher himself had run on this track for six years before he created it.

Of course, track records such things do not mean that they will definitely get faster and faster, and it is also related to the racing performance, driver status and weather reasons of that year. However, if you can run this kind of lap in the first year, there is no objective factor to say, and pure hard power can achieve it!

Zhang Yifei's idea is very strong, and it is basically now deeply rooted in people's hearts. As long as you have no problem with your mind and are not influenced by racist ideas, you will no longer look at Zhang Yifei from the perspective of a rookie.

But now it is a bit too strong. From a historical perspective, it is comparable to the greatest lap in history of F1 that Senna ran at the Donington Raceway and Rain Battle.

However, this can only be said to be comparable, and the difficulty is still a bit different. After all, one is the Rain Battle Main Race and the other is the qualifying match. Moreover, Senna has a head-on confrontation with his opponents, and the practice competition only requires running his fastest lap.

But no matter what, Zhang Yifei's light cannot be concealed!

"Shumi, I believe in you."

Jean Todd naturally heard the shock in Schumacher's tone, but he did not encourage and did not say such scenes as cheering up. He was just a simple saying "I believe in you."

Because Schumacher doesn't need these irrelevant words, as long as he absolutely trusts him, it's meaningless if he can't do anything.
