367 Withstand Pressure
"Zhang Yifei is on the court, and finally a Chinese official driver appears in the opening game!"
"Yes, our Chinese drivers!"
"Come on, fly!"
"Run faster, don't let these ghosts underestimate you!"
A series of roars sounded in the stands, mixed with the roar of the engine and the lineup.
Zhang Yifei on the 53 racing car naturally had no way to hear these shouting sounds, but this did not prevent him from seeing those supporters waving red flags from the light of his eyes and holding a piece of Chinese red.
Floor oil is in the gears. Due to the racing performance, Zhang Yifei's current gear speed is slightly higher than before. However, this may lead to power abruption of mismatch in gears, which puts a lot of pressure on the gearbox.
Take Albert Park Raceway for example. After a race that was nearly two hours long, there were many mid-speed corners, and drivers needed to perform nearly 3,500 shifts throughout the entire race.
Not only is the gear shifting frequency amazingly high, but in most cases it keeps shifting at around 10,000 rpm, which tests the stability of the gearbox even more. If the engine failure of a car is often at an astonishingly high, then the gearbox failure rate is relatively much lower.
However, this does not mean that the gearbox can be tossed unlimitedly. Any minor fault in gear will have serious consequences, at least affecting lap speed.
But Zhang Yifei has no choice now. So many compatriots in China have come to Australia to support him from thousands of miles away, and Zhang Yifei doesn't want to disappoint them.
Similarly, there are so many cold eyes and ridicule abroad. When Zhang Yifei waits to see his failure and fail, he will not let them get what they want.
And there is a more important point. The qualifying competition has an elimination system. Zhang Yifei doesn’t want him to not even stand on the stage of the main competition, which is even more unacceptable.
The commentary of this event of 1 is from the gold medal commentator Martin Brendel of Sky Sports in the UK and local Australian commentator Engches.
After seeing Zhang Yifei on the court, Brendel said in a curious tone: "The Chinese driver Fei No. 13 has appeared in the camera. As the new driver of Prost team this year, Australia's opening game will also be Fei's debut."
"The performance and results of the Renault Formula and the Grand Prix of the Island of the Island can be described as amazing. I wonder if he can continue his miracle like a magical boy on the 1 track."
Brendel has no subjective prejudice to Zhang Yifei, but on the contrary he attaches great importance to Zhang Yifei. Because Red, the previous Renault event commentator, was considered a student of Brendel. Influenced and praised by Red, Brendel also watched some videos of Zhang Yifei on Renault's Formula.
To be honest, he was surprised after watching it. As a 1-gold commentator, he never imagined that a player in China, who did not even have the most basic Formula Even the most basic Formula event could appear.
You should know that although the Renault Formula is just a primary equation, in a sense, it can be regarded as the cradle of one driver. Many famous and top professional drivers are attracted by higher-level teams through the springboard of the Renault Formula.
If you want to become a 1 driver and sweep a Formula 2019 Formula 2019, it must be a basic operation.
As a result, even Chinese drivers can do this basic operation. Is the world changing too fast or can't keep up with the times?
However, no matter what, Brendel still admired Zhang Yifei's performance in the Renault event. Later, he heard that this Chinese boy copied Kimi's "triple jump" miracle and entered the Prost team. He even participated in the competition temporarily and won the 3 championship in the Island of O.D.
This proves from the side that the success of Zhang Yifei's Renault Formula was not a coincidence.
"I think it's very difficult. 1 is the event for the world's top drivers, and the flying training competition is showing a step-by-step downward trend."
"The training competition is just to test the car's adaptability to the track, and many drivers will not give full play. In the qualifying competition, every driver will give full play, and it is even more difficult for Chinese kids to achieve any results."
Chez completely distrusts Zhang Yifei's strength, and even believes that this Chinese driver was completely hyped and attracted the sponsor behind him and finally entered the 1 paddock.
However, as a commentator of the 1st event, he could not express his inner thoughts publicly. He could only use this method to show that Zhang Yifei was not strong enough.
"I don't think so. Look at the first few turns of the fly, both the route and the speed are not inferior to other veterans. I even think he has a certain improvement in practice."
"So the final result of this qualifying match will have to wait until it is over before you know it."
Faced with Brendel's rebuttal, Chez just smiled and nodded, but didn't agree with it in his heart.
Zhang Yifei on the track learned some lessons from previous practice competitions and improved his way of turning, and even had a trace of imitating Schumacher.
After all, as a newcomer in the track, you often have to admit your shortcomings and learn from the strong to make yourself progress. Not to mention that the object of Zhang Yifei's learning is the famous future car god Schumacher.
Moreover, it is not that easy to learn from Schumacher. At least it is not as powerful as the control ability. It is completely impossible to operate the isolation boards from some tracks that are only 1 to 2 cm from the limit cornering.
Even Zhang Yifei, who controlled the 53 race car and challenged the width of one or two fingers at a speed of nearly 200 kilometers per hour, was a thrilling thing.
The high temperature and extremely focused attention, just in the first lap, sweat soaked Zhang Yifei's underwear. The intensity of the real event is really not comparable to that of Renault's level before.
Fortunately, the car has been equipped with a drinking water system, and a conduit passes through the small hole in the breathing window of the mouth and reaches the corner of the driver's mouth. Just press the button on the steering wheel and the water or functional beverage in the water storage container will be transmitted to the driver's mouth through a micro water pump, and the water replenishment will be completed in the fastest and most convenient posture.
But at this time, Zhang Yifei even forgot the idea of drinking water. In his eyes, he only had various racing data displayed on the track and dashboard.
In the next few turns, Zhang Yifei delayed the brake point as much as possible to pursue the weak millisecond-level time advantage. Faced with the numerous zigzag bends on the track, Zhang Yifei also adopted the limit route instead of brake slowing down.
"Cosell, the fastest lap ranking at the moment."
"Schumacher is still the first, your fastest lap speed is improved compared to the practice race, ranking seventh among all drivers, 1 minute 25 seconds 690."
Zhang Yifei's fastest lap in the previous three-round practice competition was 1 minute 25 seconds 862. Currently, the lap speed has increased by nearly 02 seconds, and the ranking has increased by two places.
However, the qualifying match has not ended yet. The lap of 1 minute, 25 seconds, 690 cannot stabilize the seventh position, so Zhang Yifei still dared not relax at all.
When the driver's lap rankings were refreshed on the big screen of the track again, there were surprises, excitement, and a lot of dissatisfaction in the audience.
"Zhang Yifei's ranking has risen by two places, and he has indeed withstood the pressure!"
"Let's move forward to two more and enter the top five in the qualifying round!"
"I have satisfied this score. You must know that many top 1 drivers' debuts cannot achieve this score!"
The vast majority of Zhang Yifei's supporters and audiences who are very familiar with the history of 1 racing have confirmed Zhang Yifei's current qualifying results.
As a newcomer driver, he won the seventh place in his debut, and has surpassed the passing line and reached the ranks of excellent. You should know that even if it is Super Rookie Kimi, he only ran thirteen places in his debut qualifying competition.
If Zhang Yifei had not emerged from the seventh ranking, it would have been impossible for Chinese car fans to think about it before. There is a new driver from China who can reach the seventh position in his debut.
Zhang Yifei's improvement was also dissatisfied by some viewers at the scene. They did not expect that the Chinese newcomer who thought that the decline was not left far behind in the qualifying competition and was also improved!
", what's going on? Isn't it said that one driver is the strongest group in the world? Why can even a Chinese newcomer surpass most of the drivers?"
"How could it be that flying can run so fast? Did the Mars rover appear in Prost this year?"
"Mars is nothing, Alessi is currently ranked 14th. If the French veterans of the rover are so behind?"
"That's because Alessi is already an elimination driver of 1! He didn't get any points in the whole year last year, and in theory he should have retired, but Prost team didn't have money to keep him!"
"If it weren't for the Prost rover, he could have run to the 14th?"
"You also said that Prost team has no money. Just such a small team with no money can develop a Mars rover? What kind of research and development is based on love research and development?"
There was a fierce debate in the stands, and many people were unwilling to admit Zhang Yifei's progress and wanted to blame the success on racing performance.
However, the situation of the Prost convoy shows that this statement is contradictory, so you can only hold on with a stubborn mouth.
In the Prost team repair station, Zhang Yifei's current ranking also showed a state of excitement and satisfaction. After all, there were no Prost drivers throughout the season last year, and they entered the top ten in the ranking or the main competition. Today is a historic breakthrough.
But there was no expression of joy on Cosell's face, because he knew that with the ranking refresh, the rooms or strategy groups of other teams would come up with more radical instructions to keep or surpass their current rankings.
"Fly, the drivers behind are chasing very tightly. The high-speed turns of the track No. 8, 9, 13 and 14, ride on the shoulder and step on the accelerator, and go through it faster!"
Cosell issued a radical track order without any hesitation. He had not asked Zhang Yifei for such a long time.
Chapter completed!
