767 Peerless Control
The members of the Prost crew looked at each other at this moment. They were really worried about whether Zhang Yifei was floating. After all, he was successful at a young age and returned to his home court. All around him were full of praise and praise.
Not to mention anything else, just posters and banners all covered the streets of Donghai City. Zhang Yifei and Schumacher were the most central C position, and Zhang Yifei even vaguely suppressed Schumacher.
It is precisely with this kind of worry that they gathered in the racing simulator training room. If there is really any mental accident, they can seize the time to rescue them and help Zhang Yifei get back to his condition.
As a result, they never expected that Zhang Yifei, who ran the East China Sea track on a racing simulator for the first time, crushed Alonso at the start speed, and it was the kind of crush that might not even be seen in the taillights of the car. It really made people feel like they were dreaming.
It didn't take long to run the East China Sea track on the simulator, it only took more than one minute. When the car passed the starting line again and the single lap speed appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, all the members of the crew standing behind were frozen in place!
This moment can no longer be described as surprised. It is not an exaggeration to use "shock", because Zhang Yifei only took 1 minute, 32 seconds and 452 in a single lap, and he directly threw away Alonso's fastest lap by about 1.5 seconds!
You should know that Alonso is no longer the rookie whom even Minardi team looked down upon. Although there is a certain gap with Zhang Yifei, he is also a regular in the points zone and can occasionally hit the podium.
In addition, the total points this season have surpassed the well-known veterans Coothard and Ralph Schumacher. In addition to being a little worse in background, he can already be viewed by the standards of top drivers.
In a sense, in the eyes and cognition of the outside world, Alonso is developing towards the position of the second Barricello. Although Alonso himself never wanted to become Barricello, and even had no interest in becoming the next Zhang Yifei, he would only become himself, Fernando Alonso from Spain!
But from the side, it also reflected that the outside world's recognition of Alonso's strength, he may fall behind Zhang Yifei in the lap of the racing simulator, and it will definitely not be as exaggerated as it is now.
Not to mention that Alonso was still on the racing simulator and ran the East China Sea track for a day or two, but this was Zhang Yifei's first contact!
"This is impossible, there is nothing wrong with the racing simulator, right?"
When Prost saw this lap, his first reaction was to ask Leo, the design director beside him, with an incredible face.
If you want to talk about geniuses, Prost is a super driver who has competed with Senna and the four-champion champion. In his more than ten years of career, he has never seen any professional driver. No matter how talented he is, he will never be able to transcend the scope of logic.
The lap speed that Zhang Yifei has now runs is no longer a level that human talent can reach. Even if he practices for half a day, he can beat Alonso for 1.5 seconds. After all, he became the background wall and was thrown by Senna, who was in the same team, for 1.4 seconds.
But now this situation is completely illogical. The only thing that can be imagined is the failure of the racing simulator and the lap time above is incorrect.
Leo is responsible for the racing and simulator issues of the team. When he heard Prost's question, he was shocked. However, judging from the normal operation of the racing simulator, it did not seem to have any faults at all.
And even if there was a problem with the timing system, Zhang Yifei's running in this lap just now was seen by everyone. The track map and other things have not changed. The same scene is faster than Alonso. How can I explain this?
"I think the emulator should be fine."
The conversation between Leo and Prost also affected the practice rider wearing headphones. Alonso vaguely heard a discussion about Zhang Yifei's lap speed, so he turned his body and looked at Zhang Yifei's screen with a curious attitude.
When he saw the 1 minute 32 seconds 452 time, he took off his headphones, stood up from the racing simulation cockpit, came to the screen of Zhang Yifei simulator, and confirmed it again from close range.
That's right, it's 1 minute 32 seconds 452. Zhang Yifei ran casually on the simulator for the first lap and left the 1 minute 34 seconds 084 that he had used for a day to run out, leaving him far behind!
If the crew members are still unbelievable, then Alonso's view of this achievement has completely crushed his outlook on life and career.
He really couldn't imagine that a driver's ability to adapt to the new track had reached this level. He couldn't imagine that the gap between him and Fei was so exaggerated!
"You haven't run the East China Sea track on the simulator before?"
Alonso spoke directly and asked Zhang Yifei. If he didn't figure out what was going on, he could no longer maintain his training mentality.
"Ah? What did you say?"
Zhang Yifei took off his headphones and looked at Alonso with a daze. He was not affected by the discussions of the crew members, and he didn't even notice that Alonso was already standing beside him.
Because I ran to the Donghai International Race again, countless responses emerged in my mind. Compared with previous RV events, this time using f1 simulation training is another new experience.
So Zhang Yifei was completely immersed in the racing simulator. Faced with Alonso's sudden inquiry, he didn't know what he said.
"This is really the first time you're running the East China Sea track on the simulator?"
Alonso emphasized word by word, he had to get this answer, otherwise the impact of this lap on Alonso would be too great, making his pursuit of Zhang Yifei like throwing an axe into the sky.
The sky is so high and vast that no matter how high axe throws it, it cannot touch the fur of the sky!
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yifei hasn't reacted to the problem with his lap. To be honest, he is not very satisfied with this lap. After all, he has not broken Schumacher's track record.
You should know that in any track in the past, Zhang Yifei was chasing. He tried his best to speed up to catch up with the track records. But in the East China Grand Prix, Schumacher was the chaser, and he should work hard towards my Zhang Yifei's lap goal!
Zhang Yifei's answer is undoubtedly an admission that he had been running the East China Sea track on a racing simulator for the first time.
So after hearing this sentence, Alonso's face suddenly turned as if he was ashamed. He felt that his fighting spirit and confidence were instantly shattered. It turned out that all his pursuit was so cute. The two of them were no longer on the same level, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not change any result.
Seeing Alonso's face change, with Prost's experienced experience, he was instantly hit by the confidence of the Spanish boy. Although Prost doesn't like the boss very much, as the boss of a team, as long as Alonso is his driver, he must calm the driver's emotions.
"Fei, why don't you run again?"
To be honest, the more than a minute just now was too fast and too sudden, and I didn’t look at the exact number of things.
If you want to truly understand what happened, the best way is to let Zhang Yifei run again. From the perspective of routing and control, you can see whether it is accidental or inevitable!
Faced with Prost's request and the strange expressions of the crew members behind him, Zhang Yifei understood at this time that his lap speed must be too amazing, which surprised and shocked them.
However, Zhang Yifei did not intend to hide it or keep a low profile because this kind of thing was finally shown in the game. Now let them adapt early to avoid the greater impact in the next few days.
"good."
So without saying much, Zhang Yifei simply pressed the reset button and continued to start his own track running diagram on the simulator.
With previous experience, this time the crew members focused more on Zhang Yifei's control. So they soon discovered that Zhang Yifei's turn around on the East China Sea track was so accurate that it was terrifying. Even the most difficult spiral turns 1, 2, and 3, Zhang Yifei could achieve full curve tracking and braking.
The brakes and oil replenishment in the curve are just right. In the eyes of outsiders, they are like skating across the track, without any drag!
However, this scene changed Cosell's eyes a little. If Zhang Yifei could accurately route other corners, he could also describe it as amazing talent. After all, there is always such a peerless genius in F1 every ten years.
However, the full curve tracking and braking in the spiral bend is definitely not something that no novice can do, even peerless geniuses cannot do it. Because you cannot control all the details of this spiral bend, you will inevitably brake and accelerator quickly alternate to ensure your extreme control of the car.
Zhang Yifei's movement just now basically did not stop the brakes too much, and he relied on the tight accelerator to control the whole corner, which was also the key to his absolute leading Alonso in speed.
This kind of thing that can be done simply by relying on the accelerator without the accumulation of experience over hundreds of laps.
Now the problem arises here. All Zhang Yifei's performance is not the first time he simulates running the East China Sea track, but he is more like an extremely experienced and experienced expert.
Others may mistakenly think that Zhang Yifei has run many laps, but Cosell is with Zhang Yifei almost every day. Whether he has time to simulate training in the East China Sea track is no better than Cosell. Even if this is not Zhang Yifei's first test run, the number of laps of laps will definitely not exceed ten laps. If he is suffocated, he will run and play two laps in his spare time.
So at this moment, even Cosel was confused. He couldn't understand how Zhang Yifei did it. Can talent really explain this problem?
More than a minute passed, and Zhang Yifei's simulated training lap again appeared in the upper right corner of the screen. This time it took 1 minute 32 seconds 433. Not only did it reproduce the previous amazing lap speed, but it also ran faster than before!
Now everyone has no doubts. The reality is already in front of us. Whether we believe it or not, we cannot change the final result.
So Fei is really so strong?
Alonso stood there blankly, thinking about the scene in his mind that after Zhang Yifei saw the track data yesterday, he frowned from time to time.
No wonder Zhang Yifei showed dissatisfaction with the track data. It was not as arrogant as he thought, but his understanding of this track can indeed be described as dominant.
It’s not that Alonso has no confidence in his strength. He believes that even Schumacher’s fastest speed on the racing simulator is at least 0.5 seconds slower than Zhang Yifei’s current lap speed.
The time of 1 minute 32 seconds 433 is absolutely terrifying and has the chance to become the first track record of the East China Sea Grand Prix!
Not only Alonso thinks so, but the crew members who were worried before don’t know what to say now. With this lap, do you still need to worry about Zhang Yifei’s slackness in the East China Sea Grand Prix?
Any slightest effort of a rookie can be amplified as a reason for failure, but as long as you can win the game, all actions are reasonable.
This is not because Zhang Yifei is inflated and arrogant, but because he has the ability to express such an attitude and everything is under control. What else can I pay attention to?
"Yifeijun, how did you do it?"
Yamamoto Ukyo asked this in a trembling tone.
Before, Kossell could only meet every day, but as a data analyst, Ukyo Yamamoto, as long as Zhang Yifei is in the training room of the racing simulator, he will keep recording Zhang Yifei's training data.
Did Zhang Yifei secretly run through the East China Sea Grand Prix? He could hide it from everyone, but he could definitely not hide it from Ukyo Yamamoto.
He really wanted to know how Zhang Yifei did it?
Faced with the question of Yamamoto Ukyo, Zhang Yifei was mentally prepared when he ran out of this lap.
The more explanations of this kind of thing, the more loopholes there will be, so he replied simply: "I am the spokesperson of the East China Sea Grand Prix. I have seen the track layout diagram for a long time, and this is my home court. Although I have not run on the track, I always pay attention to the East China Sea International Raceway."
"If you have to find a reason, it may be home bonuses and talent."
Can this be done by just looking at the track layout diagram? But the problem is that the drawings of the Donghai International Track are not confidential things, and other drivers have also seen them, so this cannot be a reason to run such an amazing lap.
But what is the real reason? Zhang Yifei has never run on the racing simulator, and the East China Sea track was only built this year, so it is even more impossible for him to run over in reality.
So no matter how bizarre Zhang Yifei's last sentence is or even absurd, only this sentence can explain it.
Chapter completed!
