Zhang Yifei's amazing lap speed was just the beginning. After the day's training, his lap speed had already reached a new height of 1 minute, 32 seconds, 211.

However, he gave too many "scare" he had. Faced with Zhang Yifei's lap speed improvement, the crew members were already numb and did not feel that it was so magical.

On the contrary, if Zhang Yifei's lap speed no longer increases, that would be an abnormal thing.

But Zhang Yifei knew very well what this lap means, which means that he exceeded the track record of Schumacher running in 2004, and this will be the fastest lap on the East China Sea Track!

Of course, except for Zhang Yifei himself, there is no idea that the track record in history is only 1 minute 32 seconds 238. If they knew, they would probably be so excited that they would not be able to sleep well at night, because this means that Zhang Yifei would have an absolute advantage in the championship battle!

Friday, October 24th, this is the Friday practice time for the final battle of the East China Sea Grand Prix.

The Donghai International Raceway, which can accommodate 200,000 spectators, is now on the verge of being full. Except for the 50,000 seats in the main and deputy stands, the other temporary stands on the 150,000 ramps are already full of car fans coming to watch the game.

Even if today is just an insignificant practice race on Friday, it is an exciting time for Chinese audiences and Zhang Yifei fans. After all, most of them are the first time they have seen Chinese F1 drivers on the track, and they are Chinese drivers who have the ability to compete for the championship!

Whether it is the main and auxiliary stands, or the temporary stands on the ramps on both sides of the track, wherever you look today, there is a red ocean. The grand occasion of the 2008 Yanjing Olympics seemed to be staged in the East China Sea seven years ahead of schedule.

Even the important leaders of Donghai City attended today's Friday practice competition to hold a grand opening ceremony for China's first F1 event. There were even rumors that a national award would be received and the final award presenter.

It is actually not uncommon for leaders at the national level to serve as F1 awards. For example, the Russian President of the Russian Grand Prix and Sochi Circuit has awarded trophys to the winners of the Grand Prix more than once, and has also been sprayed with champagne by Hamilton.

Of course, the national conditions are different. The Chinese leaders are serious and solemn in public, so this is just a temporary rumor. As for whether the final award presenter has a national leader, it is still an unknown suspense.

The East China Grand Prix is ​​the first time that China has held the "three major sports events in the world". This time there are Chinese drivers. The opening ceremony is very large and grand. There are many singers familiar to later generations appearing in the singing and dancing performances.

So even Zhang Yifei did not stay in the backstage lounge as usual, but stood at the door of the repair station, watching the opening ceremony performance with interest.

His image was naturally seen by other team members at the maintenance station, especially the Ferrari strategy team. Seeing that it had already entered the race time, Zhang Yifei was still in such a casual state, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

The Chinese boy finally lost his previous hard work and seriousness and began to indulge in his home atmosphere.

"Simmonds, now flying looks, there is no tension as before the war. Do you think he is really confident that he can copy the miracle of the new track of the Singapore Grand Prix, or is he already lost in the atmosphere of the home court?"

After saying this, Jean Todd looked at the audience on the track. The redness of the whole venue gave him the illusion of being in the Monza track, which was really fascinating.

But today's red is not Ferrari red, but Chinese red!

"Fei's previous image was very arrogant and ostentatious, but after two years, he never saw that he was truly proud of himself. There was no doubt about his concentration and psychological quality."

"I just returned to the East China Sea the night before yesterday. I can understand that my mentality fluctuations are somewhat volatile. Now it's time to play, so it's a bit strange to fly so casually. To be honest, this contrast is too huge, but it makes me feel a little weird, and it may not be as simple as we thought."

Pat Simmonds expressed his true thoughts in his heart, and when he saw that Zhang Yifei was not serious, he was indeed happy. After all, his opponent's slackness was to give his team a chance.

However, after two days, Zhang Yifei was still in this state, which made Simmonds feel a hidden worry that something abnormal is a monster.

After all, Zhang Yifei was successful at a young age, and suddenly lost himself in the face of home court's pursuit and praise. The members of the Prost crew were all old fry. It was impossible for him to not pay attention to this trend, and he would inevitably make dissuasion and warnings.

Now Zhang Yifei is standing at the door of the repair station, looking at the opening performance with interest, without any member of the Prost strategy team reminding him, which is a bit too abnormal!

Hearing Simmonds' words, the smile on Jean Todd's face began to dissipate. Many things were enchanted by the authorities. As the Ferrari manager, Jean Todd attached too much importance to this final battle, and it was easy to feel happy and happy about any mistakes made by his opponent.

When I calmed down, my decades of career experience began to think rationally, and this was indeed abnormal.

"Then what you mean is that Fei is very confident about the East China Sea Grand Prix, so what is his confidence in?"

Yes, what is it?

This is the answer that everyone who feels abnormal is not able to understand at the moment. Even if Zhang Yifei is not really lazy and slack, at least he still needs some capital to watch and perform easily now.

Generally speaking, drivers have the advantage of home court, in addition to the cheering of the track audience, they are very familiar with the track itself, and even run thousands of times!

However, the East China Sea Track is a brand new track, and it is impossible for drivers to run past in advance. Zhang Yifei and others are standing on the same starting line. Even if the cheering of the audience on site can boost morale, this thing is not omnipotent.

After all, f1 is not like other traditional events. When the helmet mask is put down, the engine sound of the racing car roars, and there are only drivers and racing cars in the whole world.

Is Zhang Yifei’s source of confidence just because this is his home court?

This doubt also emerged in the minds of the Ferrari strategy group, and in the minds of other team strategy groups.

Because now, except for Ferrari and Prost, all other teams have been eliminated, and there is no possibility of competing for the world championship of drivers and teams. They can clearly see bystanders, and even discover abnormalities earlier than the Ferrari strategy group.

Of course, discovering that it is one thing, and identifying it is another. For example, Helio of Renault team looked at Zhang Yifei with a relaxed look with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Helio, who intends to copy Villeneuve's miracle of world championship in the f1 paddock, only won one championship in the rookie season. Fortunately, it was the Indianapolis track in the United States, otherwise his once bold words would really be a laughing stock.

But even so, Helio has been far away by Zhang Yifei in the season competition. In theory, he is still the third place in the driver's total points, but in fact he is not even qualified to be the runner-up, and he is always frozen in the third place.

On the championship track, I can only be a spectator, which is a torture for Helio, who is extremely proud.

Renault manager Briatoli saw this scene and walked to Helio and comforted: "It is the second year that Fei will have the chance to win the world championship. You have performed well this year. Keep it going. I believe that this moment will happen to you next year."

Briattoli is not entirely a comfort. Indeed, Helio is definitely at the top level by the newcomer standards. However, since he Shengyu and He Shengliang, he met the talented driver Fei, who was born in China, and could only become a spectator in the track.

"You mean, I'm a follower of Fei, can only repeat his experience?"

Helio was originally unhappy, and Briattoli's comfort was more like putting himself under Zhang Yifei, so Helio exploded directly.

"I don't mean that, it's just Helio. If you want to defeat your opponent, you must understand and recognize your opponent's strength."

"You are a very talented driver, don't let emotions blind you."

After Briatoli said this, he didn't care about Helio's answer and turned around and walked into the fleet repair station.

He knew very well that Helio's talent was no less than Zhang Yifei last year. The title of Indy's strongest newcomer in history was definitely not a false reputation.

It’s just that personality determines destiny. Zhang Yifei’s arrogance is actually just the kind on the surface. However, Helio is arrogant and arrogant in his bones, which is his real weakness.

When you can't see your opponent being strong, you will always make underestimated mistakes. If Helio really wants to become the world champion of F1, he needs to understand flying, or even learn flying!

But Briatoli's painstaking efforts are not something that Helio, who has not yet experienced the real beating, can listen to.

He still put his dissatisfied eyes on Zhang Yifei, hoping to respond to the humiliation he had suffered at the United States at this Chinese home court. At least Helio didn't want to see the scene of Zhang Yifei standing on the highest podium!

Zhang Yifei naturally didn't know what other teams think. Even if he knew, he probably laughed it off.

When the opening ceremony performance ended, the pre-race press conference of the East China Sea Grand Prix was ushered in. There is no doubt that Zhang Yifei will be the driver of the press conference and the protagonist sitting in the middle!

When Zhang Yifei, wearing a blue racing suit and a Prost team baseball cap, walked towards the track media center from the maintenance channel, the track director directly pointed the camera at him, and Zhang Yifei appeared on the track big screen.

Just this picture was like a bomb detonating, instantly making the audience 200,000 audiences excited.

Zhang Yifei, whom they were looking forward to and admiring, really appeared in front of them at this moment. His face was so young that he looked a little immature, but he had the label of the most powerful driver in the world.

"Zhang Yifei~~! Zhang Yifei~~! Zhang Yifei~~!"

I don’t know who called out this name first, but it resounded throughout the track in just a few seconds.

Once on the Indianapolis track, Zhang Yifei experienced 300,000 people's shocking ridicule and abuse.
