313 Radical style home
In the team repair station, team members were also celebrating each other's high-highlights to celebrate Zhang Yifei's acquisition of the pole position of the Grand Prix.
Cosell was not involved in the celebration of the young man, his eyes locked on the lap of other riders on the display.
The second driver is Sato Takuro, and his fastest lap is 2 minutes, 09 seconds, 143.
The third place is the Ao Island driver's height, his score is 2 minutes 09 seconds 551.
Even the Japanese driver Ideaki, who ranked fifth, broke the track record in his fastest lap, reaching 2 minutes and 10 seconds and 374.
Especially Sato Takuma, all his lap speeds can be described as the four words "stable and terrible", which is basically the same as Zhang Yifei's lap speed.
For Sato Dao, the driver, he was not the strongest opponent that Cosel thought before the race. The strongest opponent he recognized was Italian F3 champion Paul Mudian.
Whether it is prejudice and inertial thinking or not, there is no doubt that the strength of European drivers in this era is overwhelming Asian drivers. They are also F3 champions, and the value of the Italian F3 Championship is also far behind the Japanese F3 events.
As a result, Kossell unexpectedly, the one who bit Zhang Yifei tightly was the Japanese F3 champion driver.
If the strength of Japanese F3 champions has this standard, then the fifth-ranked Idea Yuji will become a terrible opponent. After all, he will win one more all-Japanese F3 champion than Sato Takuma, which basically eliminates the possibility of accidents. If you want to win two championships, it is impossible to have some hard strength.
To be honest, when I saw Zhang Yifei’s fastest lap, Kossel agreed with Yamamoto Ukyo’s words, believing that there was basically no opponent in this lap.
If we follow the previous Grand Prix F3 standards, as long as Zhang Yifei can stabilize such results in the main stage, it will not be a big problem to win the championship.
As a result, it is not that safe now, and the strength of the drivers ranked behind cannot be underestimated.
It seems that this year's Dallara racing should have met the "Marlara Rover" standard, and has widely used the top racing technology decentralized by F1. If it weren't for the urgent time and the team's technical strength did not allow it, Kossell had an urge to dismantle the Dallara racing car and find out the truth.
There is no pole position celebration at the Grand Prix, because after the 10 o'clock qualifying race, the Grand Prix RV will be held at 10:25.
Sometimes, there are more than just a GT event, including regional events such as the Ao Island RV Cup, the Greater Bay Area Lotus Cup, and the FIA RV World Cup.
After the RV event is completed, it will be the Grand Prix Motorcycle. This motorcycle is not the kind of electric vehicle in the mainland, but on the island of Australia. They call gasoline electric oil, so the motorcycle race becomes a motorcycle race.
It is precisely because the Grand Prix events are very compact, such as the trials and knockouts, there is no celebration mode at all. The tracks and maintenance channels need to be quickly cleared to prepare for the next event.
Zhang Yifei drove the car into the repair station, and the team members immediately surrounded him.
Ah Hu said in an excited tone: "Brother Fei, it's still a pleasure at his home court. You got the pole position just now, and everyone stood up and applauded!"
"Yes, I feel much more enthusiastic than foreigners."
Chen Zhi agreed, even if Zhang Yifei won the sub-station championship abroad, some Chinese and overseas Chinese were more excited, and a few foreigners who agreed with him were more recognized. Most of the others were at most polite applause, and there was no congratulations at all.
Of course, Zhang Yifei and the others are already very satisfied with this. You should know that there were scenes of ridicule in the previous two events.
"By the way, your pole position lap speed surpassed the track record for more than 1 second. This is Schumacher's 90-year track record, which has been sealed for nearly ten years."
"So nb?"
Zhang Yifei was a little surprised. He was not surprised that he broke the track record, but that he broke Schumacher's record.
After all, starting this year, the greatest Ferrari dynasty in F1 history is about to appear, and Schumacher will also be crowned the title of God of Cars.
For Zhang Yifei, the impact Schumacher brought to him was actually to surpass Senna. After all, Senna died in a car accident in 1994, and he could only learn about his deeds from various videos and documentaries.
But Schumacher and Zhang Yifei can be said to have barely witnessed his peak era, and the entire racing world is filled with Schumacher's influence. Many Chinese drivers regard Schumacher as their idol and goal. It is hard to imagine that they have one that will break the track record created by Schumacher.
Zhang Yifei never thought about it in his previous life that he began to have the idea of competing with Schumacher in this life, but he didn't expect that he would have "challenged" Schumacher so soon.
"What about the lap times of other drivers, like Takuma Sato?"
Zhang Yifei said as he looked at Cosell. The competition engineer led all the game data, and he knew better.
But when Zhang Yifei saw Cosel holding his hands in front of his chest and staring at the large circular screen of the console, he realized that things were not that simple, at least he could not crush his opponent.
Because if he completely crushed his opponent, even if Cosell had always been serious and serious, he would stand aside at this moment, with an inaudible smile on his face, and look at his celebration with his team members.
Now he has not come over and is still watching the track data on the circular screen, which means that other drivers have good lap times. Kossel is still working and analyzes his opponents' thinking and coping methods.
So Zhang Yifei did not continue chatting with Ah Hu and the others, but stood beside Cosel and looked at the fastest lap speeds of other drivers on the screen.
"The first name you mentioned was Sato Takuma just now. His premonition was very accurate. He was really amazing."
Cosel said lightly. He didn't know how Zhang Yifei agreed with Sato Dao's strength, but there was no doubt that he was more accurate than he saw this time. Sato Dao's is indeed the strongest opponent, and his overall lap speed can be evenly matched with Zhang Yifei.
Zhang Yifei did not answer, but silently scanned the lap rankings on the screen. He was only a few seconds faster than Sato Damn, and the lap speed of the drivers behind him was very tight.
Formula events are actually also the pyramid mode of the big waves. Formula Renault is a beginner, and only kart drivers with good grades will choose to continue to compete with Renault.
But equally, only strong Formula Elementary School Drivers are eligible to advance to the F3 level. It can be said that this year's Odo F3 Drivers have an overall strength that is definitely one level higher than that of Renault's European Cup.
Especially for the top few, except for the local snake in the Australian Island, everyone else is the F3 level champion, at least equivalent to the opponent at the F3000 level, and is only one step away from F1.
In fact, except for Paul Mudian, Italy who Zhang Yifei didn't know, Sato Takuma and Iidemi Yuji later became official F1 drivers. It is not surprising that such anxious competition results have occurred.
"Why, are you feeling the pressure?"
Seeing that Zhang Yifei didn't say anything, Cosell asked back, probably after the kid finished running, he didn't expect his opponent to bite so tightly.
"It's indeed more anxious than I thought, but it can only be considered unexpected. As a matter of reason, I'm ready and there's no pressure."
Zhang Yifei was a little surprised to see this track lap speed ranking, but not surprised. Because when he saw the driver's information, he knew that history had changed, and several champions of the Grand Prix in the O Island appeared in this session.
And he regarded Sato Tao as his biggest opponent early on. After all, Sato Tao can be regarded as the most powerful Formula driver in modern Japan, and was later held equal by Kobayashi Kymon Wei.
This guy has only made it to the podium once in the F1 event and has accumulated 44 points in his career.
It seems that the data is not very good, but in fact, the F1 team he joined in those years were basically bad teams that were about to go bankrupt. He had no competitive strength at all and was often on the verge of being laid off.
At that time, Sato Takuma, because of his radical style, the rate of racing failures and track accidents was very high, and he was also the target of ridicule by Europe, and eventually withdrew from f1 sadly.
Until he participated in the Indy event and won the driver's championship of indy500, he finally proved himself.
However, the reason why Zhang Yifei regards him as his primary opponent is not because of how powerful he is, but because this guy dares to fight hard and dares to fight for his life!
In dangerous tracks like Dongwangyang, in addition to technical requirements, it also requires greater courage to run into the ultimate lap.
In this regard, Sato Takuma is not lacking in courage, and street racing is also very suitable for radical drivers.
For example, before Senna got the title of the God of Cars, in addition to becoming famous in Rain Zhan, he also had the title of the God of Monaco. It was because he overcame Prost's highlights in his career, and he was on the same dangerous Monaco track. Senna even bought a house in Monaco and regarded it as his home court.
Sato's technique is not very good in F1, but he can still stand in the first tier of life and radicalism. Therefore, the Dongwangyang Track is very suitable for him and can realize greater potential. This is why Zhang Yifei attaches importance to him.
Zhang Yifei's answer made Cosel look at him a little surprised.
Kossell could have predicted that without pressure, after all, Zhang Yifei's psychological quality is indeed good and he is very confident.
But Zhang Yifei had been prepared long ago and had such a precise vision, which Cosell did not expect.
Victory will only belong to those who are prepared. After experiencing so many events, Zhang Yifei is indeed not the newcomer and rookie who participated in Renault. He has always been growing up.
Previously, Kossell kept raising the standard requirements for Zhang Yifei, so that he could quickly adapt to the rhythm of future f1.
