"Fuck, he has runs at this speed, and he can still lead Schumacher by 0.5 seconds. How strong is he in this East China Sea Grand Prix?"

McLaren Racing Chairman Ron Dennis jumped straight from his seat when he saw this lap.

To be honest, he thought that the lap of 1 minute and 32 seconds in the previous practice competition was already Zhang Yifei's limit. And even if it was simulated on a computer, the fastest lap of normal lap was probably the speed at which Zhang Yifei ran out.

I have to say that even as the chairman of McLaren team, Dennis vaguely admires Zhang Yifei in his heart when he can run such a lap in his practice race.

However, the lap speed of 1 minute and 32 seconds can only be considered as the limit of performance under normal circumstances. There is pressure to catch up and hope to catch up.

So, whether it is McLaren, Ferrari, Renault and other teams, they actually did not choose to admit defeat. They helped the drivers improve their speed through various efforts, so that they still have the power to fight in the main race.

It can also be seen in the early stage of this qualifying race that Schumacher, Barrichello, Helio and other top drivers have significantly improved their lap speed after being familiar with the track and referring to Zhang Yifei's route, and are even very close to the fastest lap of Zhang Yifei's practice race.

If Zhang Yifei is still in the practice competition level, he may still be in the lead, or get the pole position with a slight advantage. However, he cannot crush as much as before, without giving other drivers any chance. In this way, the East China Sea Grand Prix will be full of suspense again.

In fact, seeing Zhang Yifei not continuing to lead in the qualifying competition, the hope that many teams have brought to many teams is not as terrifying as it can be at home.

As a result, the fastest lap of 1 minute 31 seconds 788 came out, and hope turned into despair again. It can even be said that this is a speed that should be looked up to, which is beyond the simulated lap speed of a normal computer.

This can no longer be said to be the limit of drivers, and it is not an exaggeration to use the current limit of human beings.

"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes today, I couldn't believe that everything in front of me was true. Is this the performance of a racing car or the ability of a driver?"

Designer Adrian Newe was confused. McLaren Racing Computer Simulation Lap Time is the dominant one. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to break through the limit of 1 minute and 32 seconds.

In other words, no matter how much McLaren drivers perform, as long as they drive a McLaren car, they will never surpass Zhang Yifei's current lap speed.

That's right, the appearance of this lap has sentenced McLaren drivers to "death sentence"! This may be the first scene that McLaren has faced in history, and previous encouragement to Kimi Raikkonen has become a joke.

Rational thinking made Newey unbelievable. There is no need for drivers in this world to drive such lap speed on a new track, which has nothing to do with whose home court, even if it is to let Schumacher on a new Italian or German track.

So he thought that in addition to the human factor, is there also a car factor? For example, at the end of the season, Prost team launched a new aero kit, or used some of the technologies of AP06 racing in advance?

"None of these matters anymore. By this moment, the qualifying match has ended."

Ron Dennis smiled bitterly, he didn't want to continue discussing this issue because it seemed meaningless. McLaren's complete failure this year can be said to have been eliminated early.

Compared with McLaren, a team that was eliminated early, the most affected team is the Ferrari, which is still competitive.

Schumacher has been doing his best in the past two days, but in fact he has driven the fastest lap in the practice race in the racing simulator.

After all, the lap record of the first East China Sea Grand Prix in history was Schumacher, who had the strength and ability. Now facing heavy pressure and is still at the peak of his peak. If he is only slightly ahead of the track record, it is impossible to defeat him in the pole position battle in advance.

In fact, Zhang Yifei is also very clear about this, so he retained his trump card.

Even though Zhang Yifei had the super lap strength of 1 minute 31 seconds 788, he couldn't expose his ideas in advance because of showing off his skills, but was afraid that Schumacher would stimulate him and exuded his terrifying potential.

In the Ferrari strategy group, I originally thought that the qualifying match would give Zhang Yifei a killer move, which might defeat his confidence and add some bargaining chips to the main game.

As a result, when the lap of 1 minute 31 seconds 788 appears, all plans have become straw paper.

In the face of absolute strength, any skill is in vain!

Just when Schumacher's strategy team didn't know what to do next, Schumacher's voice came from the headphones.

"Tord, did you run the fastest lap just now?"

The lap rankings on the track broadcast screen are not visible to the drivers during the race.

However, from the corner of Schumacher's eyes, he saw the audience standing up and cheering. He has experienced this scene countless times. Usually, it is when wonderful scenes appear or when the victory is celebrated, which makes the audience excited.

This is China's home court, and the one that is most likely to arouse audience fanaticism. Of course, Zhang Yifei is the most likely to be.

Could it be that the driver Fei finally started exerting force and ran the fastest lap?

Faced with Schumacher's inquiry, Jean Todd's expression was very hesitant. He didn't know whether he should tell Schumacher the super lap that Zhang Yifei ran out at this moment.

A little bit of lead will inspire Schumacher's fighting spirit and allow him to overtake the pole position.

But now when using 1 minute 31 seconds 788 in a lap, even if Jean Todd believes in Schumacher's strength very much, he feels that there is no hope.

It would be better to let him stabilize his mentality, give up the pole position and maintain the second place, and then use tactics and strategic arrangements to defeat his opponents in the main competition.

After all, the Monaco Grand Prix, which was second in 1.4 seconds, lost, not to mention that the East China Sea track is a very easy track to overtake, and the pole position advantage is actually not that obvious.

Schumacher in Ferrari racing saw Jean Todd and the strategy team members and did not answer his question, and instantly realized something.

But Schumacher could never imagine that he could be thrown in a lap for 0.5 seconds again at this time, so he asked again.

"Todd, what is the fastest lap speed to fly?"

Hearing Schumacher's questioning again, Jean Todd and Ross Brown looked at each other, and understood that there was no possibility of hiding it any longer.

"Flying is now the fastest lap in the qualifying race, taking 1 minute 31 seconds 788."

1 minute 31 seconds 788?

This number directly made Schumacher gasp. In fact, he didn't naively think that the practice match was Zhang Yifei's lap limit. However, he was very sure that no matter how fast Zhang Yifei's qualifying match was, it was not much faster.

Now Zhang Yifei directly broke through to the 1 minute and 31 second field, and once again lost 0.5 seconds in a lap. Can he really run so fast on the East China Sea track?

To put it more exaggeratedly, even if he was in a rain battle with Senna during the newcomer period, Schumacher had never been crushed like this. No wonder the entire strategy group chose to remain silent.

Haven't you surpassed it yet?

Schumacher asked himself in his heart, and he didn't want to admit that the answer was no. During his entire career, Schumacher rarely felt so unconfident that he could not surpass him.

In fact, it was not just Schumacher. When other drivers heard Zhang Yifei running a lap of 1 minute 31 seconds 788 from the team's voice, the spirit of chasing each other in the early stage of the qualifying race became cold instantly.

Especially the top drivers, when they really reached the sprint stage, the next lap was slower, which obviously had hit their confidence and fighting spirit.

"No suspense, Fei is already in the pole position!"

Prost stood in the fleet repair station and said this sentence directly and firmly.

He knew the feelings of other drivers on the track, because when Sena ran a shocking lap in Monaco, all the smoke of competition was extinguished in an instant, which was a force to control thunder and lightning!

"It's too fast. From the practice game, it's flying a second faster than before on the racing simulator! Is this the power brought by the 200,000 spectators at home?"

Yamamoto Ukyo's tone was trembling. He faithfully recorded all Zhang Yifei's data. The simulator's lap speed was already very terrifying. As a result, after two days of actual combat on the track, Zhang Yifei was almost one second faster!

There has never been any track. Yamamoto Ukyo can see Zhang Yifei's abnormal progress. Apart from being a home power, he really can't imagine how to do all this.

"Is Brother Fei so scary?"

Not to mention professionals in the strategy group, even those who are big hearts like Ah Hu who are not very concerned about subtle changes in lap speed. When they see Zhang Yifei being able to shake Schumacher again for 0.5 seconds, they have an incredible mentality.

"oh my god! Fei is going to become the king of home court."

Charlie, the chief technician next to him, was also stunned. His professional experience was much richer than Ah Hu, and he understood better what this kind of lap means.

Rule, absolute domination! As long as there is nothing unexpected happening in the main competition, Schumacher will definitely lose the championship battle!

In fact, there are ten minutes left in the qualifying round, but as many people think, there is no suspense at all, just waiting for the passage of time.

When the countdown was cleared, it was like thunder, and the Chinese audience who had been waiting for celebration for a long time burst out instantly.

"Pole position! We won!"

"I finally understand why Zhang Yifei is recognized and respected in foreign countries because he is strong enough!"

"This is the Demon King of the Empire. On the Chinese track, no one is Zhang Yifei's opponent, even Schumacher can do it!"

"Fei did not disappoint his compatriots who supported him, Shumi really lost this game."

"Yes, the gap is too big."

Not to mention the Chinese audience at the scene, even those car fans who supported Ferrari and Schumacher before chose to admit and pay tribute in the face of such lap results.

Zhang Yifei's speed is worthy of the entire track’s shouting for!

"No problem! The pole position is no problem! Seeing that, the audience shouted and applauded Zhang Yifei. This is his Chinese red!"

Li Bing, the Chinese commentator in the commentary room, watched the countdown to the qualifying match end and Zhang Yifei became the pole position of the first East China Sea Grand Prix, and also stood up from his seat excitedly and shouted excitedly at Brendel next to him.

He had previously supported Zhang Yifei, but it was more because of emotional points and his drivers who supported him at home.

But now this pole lap speed proves that Zhang Yifei's performance is not accidental. He can dominate the East China Sea track and his hard strength is stronger than Schumacher!

"It's indeed very soon, this is probably the most dominant pole driver in recent years."

Brendel's face was also full of surprise. He actually thought Zhang Yifei had an advantage, but he didn't expect that the qualifying competition would be so crushed. He was really hit by the Chinese commentator. How could Schumacher be so slow?

Or to put it another way, how could Zhang Yifei run so fast?

No one knew the answer, and the audience at the scene didn't care what the reason was. They just needed to see that Zhang Yifei won the game.

After driving the car back to the repair station, Zhang Yifei slowed down a little, then pushed away his helmet mask, looking at the waving national flags on the field and the extremely excited smiling faces.

This is the first pole position on the East China Sea track, which has historically been controlled by Schumacher and may be placed around the world. The title of "King of Monaco" is the highest honor for the Formula Track.

But in Zhang Yifei's heart, no track can compare to the victory in the East China Sea.

"Zhang Yifei saw us! Come on, Yifei and win the championship tomorrow!"

"Please win in one go and be crowned on the East China Sea track!"

"Che Shenfei forever, come on!"

"Zhang Yifei! Come on!"

Many spectators who were closer to the track were blushing and exerting all their strength to shout, hoping that Zhang Yifei could hear their voices.

The efforts of these audiences were not in vain. Zhang Yifei heard the sound of cheering in these familiar native languages. He had already entered the "Champion Temple" with one foot. Tomorrow will be the time to witness the miracle.

Following Zhang Yifei into the station was Schumacher of the Ferrari team. He looked at Zhang Yifei who was slowing down and enjoying the cheers of the audience. Looking at the Chinese red waving in the audience, his emotions were very complicated and he even felt an unprecedented pressure.

Once upon a time, there was only one red on the track, that was its own Ferrari red. Now the spotlight is shining on another driver.

What made Schumacher even more despair was that he had the confidence to fight back with the practice lap, and he couldn't imagine how to run out of the pole lap of 1 minute 31 seconds 788.

Even though he tried his best in the end of the practice match, he only ran a lap of 1 minute, 32 seconds, 091, and was still 0.3 seconds behind Zhang Yifei.

Don’t think that Schumacher ran slowly. In fact, this lap speed has surpassed his fastest lap in history. Zhang Yifei’s heavy pressure has indeed allowed Schumacher to squeeze out his potential and limits.

At Zhang Yifei's speed and control of the track, there will be no major surprises in the main competition, and he will become the champion without any suspense. Schumacher feels that being able to bite Zhang Yifei is already considered a good performance. As for the difficulty of overtaking, it is almost impossible.

Under this pressure of despair, Schumacher's eyes also changed from the beginning to the beginning to the kind of determination.
