Looking at Gonzalez's iron-clad and incredulous face, the corners of Blundel's mouth couldn't help but rise.

He remembered that when he first watched Zhang Yifei's game, just like Gonzalez today, in the face of Zhang Yifei's improvement speed, he couldn't imagine how this Chinese kid did it!

It is precisely because of understanding Zhang Yifei that Blundell understands that Zhang Yifei's forbearance before is definitely not a concession, but a brewing next outbreak.

It's just that Zhang Yifei's outburst surprised even Blundell in his heart. He previously imagined that Zhang Yifei's lap time should be fixed at about 1 minute and 12 seconds, after all, this track is still quite difficult for newcomers.

And the first practice session was crushed by Barrichello, which is bound to have some negative impact on the psychology of newcomers on the track. And he was directly absent after the first practice match, and Zhang Yifei also lost more than half an hour of time to familiarize himself with the track.

A combination of factors. Zhang Yifei can run for about 1 minute and 12 seconds, which can be regarded as an excellent level. Then, through the adaptation and performance of the third practice match and qualifying, and finally hit the points area in the main race, which can be regarded as the best result.

But Zhang Yifei's progress is faster than Blundell imagined, will this Chinese kid stage the miracle of the Malaysian West Station again?

No one knows the answer now, but Zhang Yifei on the track is still running, and on the fifth lap, he even caught up with Montoya, who had overtaken him before!

At the moment, Montoya is also doing a tire wear test on the car, and communicating with the team about some details about the test, so the speed of the car is not very fast.

However, at this time, a blue car "swooped" and overtook the past from next to him, and the speed made Montoya stop communicating with the team, and instead set his sights on the blue car that had surpassed the past.

"The team, the car that passed by just now, is the driver Alessi or Fei?"

Montoya didn't read the numbers on the front of the car, so he asked the team, but he already had the answer in his mind. Alessi is too fast and furious, and there is only one person in the Prost team who will sprint like crazy in practice, and that is Zhang Yifei from China.

"Car No. 13, driver from Prost flying."

Sir Williams' tone was a little cold, because he not only looked at who the driver of Prost was in the past, but also saw Zhang Yifei's current fastest lap.

The fastest lap of 1:11.944 is already in the top five lap times on the track, behind Schumacher, Coulthard, Barrichello and Anglo-American team's Panis.

Even with a slight lead, he overtook Montoya, who was in his own team!

This kind of result was something that Sir Williams didn't expect, how did the driver Fei, who had already seemed to "admit cowardice" before, suddenly burst out, could it be that his previous performance was really pretended?

"BOSS, I'm ready to catch up."

After Montoya heard that it was Zhang Yifei, he was surprised with a hint of excitement, the Interlagos circuit is one of his strongest tracks, Zhang Yifei was finally willing to fight, for the wild and proud Montoya, he was not afraid of fighting, on the contrary, he hoped to have a duel with Zhang Yifei.

"Yes, Montoya, show your strength!"

Sir Williams also agreed with Montoya's idea for the first time, since the Brazilian driver Barrichello can do it, then his Americas world champion Montoya can also do it, and the Williams team will never lose to the Ferrari team!

The two cars began to accelerate wildly, not just Montoya, but many other drivers on the track. After being surpassed by these two, some couldn't help but join the battle.

Especially Barrichello and Alonso, one of them regards the Interlagos circuit as his own turf, how can Zhang Yifei be presumptuous. The other is pure unconvinced, the head brother is the head brother after all, and if he doesn't have a temper, he won't be called Alonso.

As more and more drivers joined the fray, the overall lap times of the second practice session began to climb.

"1:11.602! Schumacher broke his own track record, and Coulthard was just 0.013 seconds away from breaking the track record. ”

"And on the other side, the lap time broke through again, reaching 1:11.856, which was the fastest lap from Barrichello in front of him, which was also shortened to 0.016 seconds."

"This huge increase in speed is something we didn't expect before. I can expect that when this practice session is over, there will be at least two or more riders who will break the race, and I have a hunch that Fei will be one of them! ”

The increased speed on the track also drove Brendel's passion. He even thought that this situation was led by Zhang Yifei, a rookie driver, and even Schumacher joined the battle not to be outdone.

To put it mildly, Zhang Yifei called it too many enemies, and many drivers were not convinced that he ran in front of him.

But in other words, Zhang Yifei already has a certain influence in the F1 paddock, if it is replaced by another rookie driver, even if it is caused by Montoya, it is estimated that few drivers will respond, let alone the current scene of crazy speed increase.

The expression on Montoya's face at this time was a little impatient, he really didn't expect that Zhang Yifei still had room for improvement, and he didn't catch up with and surpass the past.

Since Zhang Yifei is so strong, why was he crushed so badly in the face of Barrichello's challenge before, pretending?

The question is, no driver is going to lose on the Formula 1 track, right? This will not only boost the confidence of the opponent, but also deal a big blow to the team and supporters.

If it is not installed, then how can it achieve such extreme changes as "waste as a dog" in the morning and "fierce as a tiger" in the afternoon?

Montoya couldn't understand why this was happening, but he knew very well that what he was going to do now was to overtake Zhang Yifei in front of him, and on the Interlagos circuit, he had no way out!

The other one who has no way back is Barrichello.

Although the home audience has blown him into the sky, it is as if Zhang Yifei can be rubbed casually. But Barrichello himself knows very well in his heart that winning the practice match is a fart, who would admit such a record.

Only by taking advantage of the victory to pursue and crush Zhang Yifei's belief in revenge, so that he can be afraid when he sees himself, this is the real victory.

So when he learned that Zhang Yifei's speed began to increase crazily, Barrichello had a feeling that he was expected, and he knew that the Chinese kid would not admit it so easily.

It's just that the situation is still a bit unexpected for him, the current practice lap speed, Zhang Yifei is actually in the middle of the match with himself! Barrichello doesn't know what Zhang Yifei's specific fuel weight is at present, but even if it is ultra-light fuel load, it is already a very terrifying speed to be able to drive with him on the Interlagos circuit.

There is no choice, Barrichello must defeat Zhang Yifei one more time to make this victory indisputable!

1:11.803, 1:11.788, 1:11.709......

When Zhang Yifei's lap time reached 1:11.631, the entire Prost pit was boiling, and no one expected that Zhang Yifei would be able to turn the tide and run an astonishing time of 0.001 seconds over the track record after facing the morale blow of the first practice session.

While there are already three riders on the track who have broken the race, none of the newcomers have done so. Montoya can only be ranked fifth, followed by Zhang Yifei!

"Fly, prepare for the pit stop."

Korsell issued a team instruction at this time, and Zhang Yifei had already run more than a dozen laps, whether it was physical exhaustion or tire wear, it was not more than the peak.

And just as other drivers speculated, Zhang Yifei did use ultra-light load fuel, and there is not much fuel left in the tank at present, so he should accept it when he sees it.

When Zhang Yifei slowed down and entered the maintenance channel, the inexplicable battle situation on the track was instantly extinguished because he lost his opponent.

Especially when the other drivers knew Zhang Yifei's lap time, everyone's hearts were very complicated, they thought that this stop would crush Zhang Yifei, but they didn't expect this Chinese kid to be a tumbler, and he actually got stronger and stronger!

This kind of performance can't help but make people wonder if Zhang Yifei acted according to the script for his previous performances of retiring and avoiding wars, otherwise this would be too fake!

In the team pit, when Zhang Yifei's car drove in, everyone was cheering. Because of this lap time, there are too many changes in the main race for the time being, and it is enough to start in the front row in the qualifying race.

At the narrow Interlagos circuit, the front row start is a very important indicator of whether you can get into the points zone!

"Good performance!"

Korsell took the initiative to take Zhang Yifei's helmet and encouraged him.

Korcel knew that Zhang Yifei was going to break out in this practice match, but he didn't expect him to break out so fiercely and directly became the fourth fastest lap.

Zhang Yifei was sweating profusely at the moment, and his hood was already soaked with sweat, but a smile appeared on his face, the lap time just now was actually not an easy thing for him, and he ran out under great pressure.

However, Zhang Yifei still proved his ability to resist pressure, he was not so easy to be defeated!

"Okay, take a break for a while, save your strength in the third practice match tomorrow, and wait until the qualifying round to play."

"Hmm."

Zhang Yifei nodded, it was enough to do his best to launch a counterattack, if the practice match was consumed too much, it would have an impact on the main game.

In the remaining practice time, Zhang Yifei did not choose to continue to go out, but sat in the lounge to watch his wiring video, and continued to improve himself from the details.

On the second day of the practice session, many drivers planned to have another practice session with Zhang Yifei seriously, but this kid was "instigated" in the third practice session and did not accept the call at all.

The other teams weren't stupid either, understanding that this was to conserve their stamina for qualifying, so they weren't too provocative. Everyone remained relatively calm until the afternoon qualifying.

For qualifying, whether it is the team or Zhang Yifei himself, there is basically not much pressure.

After three practice matches, Zhang Yifei has eaten the Interlagos circuit thoroughly, at least he is no longer a stranger, and he has become stronger. As long as you can run at the level of a practice session, starting in the front row is not a problem.

In addition, the situation on the track has also changed a little, and other teams have begun to wonder if the extreme contrast between Zhang Yifei in the three practice sessions is a strategy developed by the Prost team, which is used to confuse themselves.

Therefore, many teams have also begun to change their layout, no longer focusing on Zhang Yifei, not being led by this Chinese newcomer, but focusing on qualifying.

According to the track statistics, the ranking of the qualifying race will most likely determine the final ranking of the main race, and if you continue to entangle with the Chinese kid, you will lose more than you lose!

There was a rare hint of peace in qualifying, with all the drivers doing their best to run the fastest lap time instead of choosing to do something. But Zhang Yifei used his lap speed to show that the results of the practice round were not accidental, and he could indeed run so fast!

The fastest lap of 1:11.627 broke the track record while Zhang Yifei maintained his fourth place.

However, in this qualifying match, Montoya also played at a super level, ranking behind Zhang Yifei with a difference of 1,000 seconds and seconds, and the two can almost be said to be equal. It can be expected that the main event will be a big battle.

At the same time, there was a very surprising one in qualifying, that is, the newcomer of the Jordan team, Heidfeld came to fifth, beating Schumacher Jr. of the Williams team, which made people exclaim that this race will become a battle of newcomers.

With such fierce qualifying results, there is no doubt that there will be a bloody storm in the main race of the Brazilian station!
