Schumacher is still strong, but Montoya hasn't run? ”

"It's just a practice session, and in qualifying, you'll see the real speed of the Indy's drivers."

"I admit that Schumacher is strong, but the IndyCar will be stronger, especially at Indianapolis!"

"That's right, the afternoon qualifying session is coming, and Montoya will be faster!"

Schumacher didn't suffer much attack, after all, his prestige and record were there, and mocking him would only be made fun of.

However, the vast majority of IndyCar fans are full of confidence in Montoya, believing that he will be able to run faster in qualifying and eventually become the winner of the US Grand Prix!

The wait is always long, but with the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon, the quiet track is again noisy.

Zhang Yifei was already sitting in the JS53 jam at this time, and as the champion driver of the previous race, he will start the qualifying race with the first pick this time.

"Brother Fei, come on!"

"Yifei, show your true strength!"

"Fly, let them feel the madness of the Chinese drivers!"

"Yifei-kun, it's time to fight back!"

The fastest lap of the simulator greatly boosted the confidence of the crew members, and Korcel made his attitude clear, which finally unified the team's goal for the race.

That is to do their best to let those American audiences who despise and ridicule Zhang Yifei understand how the name of F1 super newcomer came about, do you really think Zhang Yifei is a Chinese rookie?

In addition to the Prost team, other F1 teams are also doing pre-race mobilization.

Now that the combat dimension of the Formula One battle has expanded, many F1 drivers feel that they are being slighted by Indy fans. In particular, the presence of three Indy champions is nothing short of a provocation to F1 drivers.

Since the Indianapolis Circuit is the home of the Indo-local program, wait for Formula 1 to conquer it!

"Montoya, take pole position, this is your home turf."

Sir Williams encouraged Montoya, who was full of confidence at the moment and did not feel that the backwardness of the three exercises had any big impact.

Montoya has too much advantage on this track, as long as he can maintain his fighting spirit, no one will be his opponent!

"I've got the pole position!"

Montoya replied in absolute affirmation, confidence and fighting spirit had returned to him, even more than before.

After all, the 100,000-level audience supporters are really terrifying, you must know that many F1 tracks, the total number of spectators may not reach 100,000, such as the previous Austrian A1 circuit.

The reason why most games will have home field advantage is because the overwhelming cheering sound will really form a "momentum" and bring a great bonus to the players.

Moreover, in motor sports, because of the familiarity of the track, the home advantage bonus is even higher than that of other sports events.

Standing on this track, Montoya is still the king of India, and Schumacher will not be my opponent!

With the exception of Williams, the Anglo-American team was doing the same, with Villeneuve still third, but the crew was confident that he would make it to the top again.

After all, in addition to being the same Indy champion as Montoya, he also has an F1 champion and a CART world championship title, a true king of the majors.

Montoya can fight back to the top, why can't Villeneuve?

In the Minardi team pit pit, it was also a scene of high morale at the moment.

In the third practice session, Yang Long once again maintained the fifth position, which was a miracle for the Minardi team!

No one could have imagined before the race that a Malaysian substitute driver would be able to maintain a consistent front-row result in all three practice sessions. Once you can talk about luck, three times is definitely strength.

Under this atmosphere, the expression on Madu's face was very strange, and he looked uncertain.

Naturally, he is happy that Xiong Long can run to the front row, which means that he has at least a chance to face Zhang Yifei. The reason for the unhappiness is that Madu feels that Yang Long's return this time has changed too much, and he is not at all the impulsive driver who is easy to control before, and he can no longer easily pry him.

But none of this matters, at least at this stage, the two have the same goal, that is, to defeat Zhang Yifei.

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Madu's face, Chinese boy, you will have a lot of trouble this time.

All the teams are ready, the instructions from the center of the track are starting to be given, and the Saturday qualifying session of the US Grand Prix will officially begin!

The first to drive onto the track is the blue Prost No. 13 car, as the champion driver of the previous race, Zhang Yifei has the right to start the first qualifying race, which is also the first time that the Prost car appeared in the first place in qualifying!

"Driver Fei should cherish it, this will be his last chance to finish first in the United States Grand Prix."

Lewis, the American commentator, couldn't help but mock when he saw Zhang Yifei appear on the track.

At present, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap has been pulled by the first few drivers more than one notch, and there is no competitiveness at all, and Lewis really doesn't think much of him.

"Lewis, you may not know much about F1, flying in F1 is called a miracle boy, never make a decision about him until the race is over."

"Really? Those three practice sessions have been completed, has Fei created any miracles? ”

"It's only a miracle when it comes when it's a critical moment, and I think you can expect that."

"Huh."

Hearing this, Lewis only smiled contemptuously and did not continue arguing with Blundel.

Wait for the lap time of the Chinese turtle, and this old British guy will be slapped hard!

Zhang Yifei was followed by McLaren's Coulthard, who is actually one of the top drivers in F1 and a title contender.

It's just that at the US Grand Prix, the opponents were fucking crazy, and Coulthard drove the fastest McLaren, and they were all squeezed into fourth place, and teammate Kimi Raikkonen went to seventh!

Even if Villeneuve of the British and American team can climb up, Minardi is a cat and dog team, and a driver named Yang Long has emerged in fifth place.

Coulthard feels that he can't understand the current situation in F1, since the arrival of the Chinese boy, even the weak team that was once at the bottom seems to have the strength to fight for their lives, and it is really not the end of the game, no one dares to say that it is the final winner.

According to the ranking of the previous race, Alessi is the third starter, and the French veteran runs the new track of the American station, which is a little powerless in terms of strength, and the practice session has always been ten after the start, and the qualifying session will not change much.

This game is destined to be Zhang Yifei's lone battle.

On the first lap of qualifying, all the drivers were restrained and were on the slow side. Because the temperature of the tires and fluids was not high enough, and the conditions of the car were not at their best, everyone was waiting for the opportunity.

From the second lap onwards, there was a qualitative increase in speed, with Montoya and Schumacher being the first to break out.

One is to prove the strength of the former king of India on this track, and the other is to defend the glory of their F1 super champion, no one wants to condescend to others!

American fans and Indy fans on the track also began to cheer for Montoya frantically, and the whole track resounded like thunderous shouts. The number of 200,000 spectators is really terrifying, even if it is just a simple cheer, it can be extremely shocking.

Entering the third lap, Villeneuve joined the lap time competition, and he also felt the change in crowd support over the past two days, with Montoya gradually becoming the protagonist of the track. This is actually a big blow to Villeneuve's self-esteem.

This was supposed to be my stage, so why could Montoya be the main character?

Grand Slam drivers won't sink forever, I'm going to take back my glory!

On laps four and five, the pace began to go crazy, and Montoya once again narrowly passed Schumacher to become the fastest lap on the track, and this speed was very close to the record of 1:14.266.

At the end of lap seven, Villeneuve also overtook Schumacher to move into second place, and the two Indian kings completed the "leaderboard".

With the performance of the British and American cars, Villeneuve's ability to surpass Schumacher in qualifying was an absolutely remarkable achievement, and even the fans who turned to support Montoya on the track were impressed by his performance.

"Villeneuve broke out, you really can't underestimate the king of the Grand Slam!"

"He's the man who beat F1 as an Indynas champion, don't forget how strong he used to be!"

"Come on, Willenneuve, defend the IndyTrack with Montoya, and don't give any F1 driver a chance!"

Not to mention the cries of the audience, even several Indy champions sitting in the stands praised Villeneuve.

"Rezzie, it seems that you lost unjustly in 95, Villeneuve is still very strong."

Blake, the '98 Indian champion, teased at Razzi next to him that he had lost to Villeneuve in the first place, otherwise he would have become the Triple Crown champion of Indy.

It's just that when he wanted to make a comeback for revenge, Villeneuve went to F1 and didn't finish the revenge battle in the end.

"He's really strong, but I don't think I'm weaker than him in that final in '95."

Rezzie replied unconvinced, in the Indy 500 final in '95, he lost to Villeneuve by an extremely narrow margin, which has become his long-standing regret.

"Haha, okay. Things are in the past, and now Villeneuve is the honor of our Indynaves. ”

Blake snorted and didn't continue to mention the past, after all, it was now the battle between F1 and Indy, and they were on the same front.

After finishing speaking, he changed the topic and said to Helio who was sitting on the other side: "China's F1 super newcomer doesn't seem to perform very well, and there is a gap between you and you, an Indy super newcomer." ”

Originally, this sentence was to elevate Helio because he was also known as the strongest newcomer in the history of the Indic program this year. Now when you compare it, it doesn't seem to be on the same level as Helio's various track record-breaking performances.

Unexpectedly, when Helio heard this, he replied with a look of disgust on his face; "He deserves to be compared to me?"

Seeing that Helio seemed to have a tendency to get angry, Blake shrugged his shoulders, it seemed that he was not fit to speak today.

But just as Blake put his eyes back on the track, he happened to see the scene of flying overtaking, and he suddenly felt that Zhang Yifei's speed was much faster than before.

You must know that the general increase in lap time is a few tenths of a second, and if it is placed in the range of more than a minute, it is even less obvious, and it is almost impossible to see any major changes in each lap.

But as an Indy World Champion, Blake has an extremely sensitive sense of speed, and Zhang Yifei's current speed is definitely higher than before. If the speed of the car cannot be clearly compared, then it can be seen that Zhang Yifei even rubbed the cement wall a few times.

"Damn, Zhang Yifei is too close to the edge of the track, right?"

"That's right, down the long straight road, I feel like Zhang Yifei is about to hit the protective wall!"

"Zhang Yifei's line is too extreme, will it be dangerous?"

"I don't know, but I can feel that Fei wants to prove his heart."

"That's right, that's his response."

As Zhang Yifei walked the line more and more crazy and obvious, let alone the Indy champion, even ordinary fans can see the difference from the big screen of the track.

The Chinese audience at the scene was worried about Zhang Yifei's extreme behavior, and they hoped that Zhang Yifei could run the fastest lap and respond to the Americans' contempt and ridicule for him.

But they didn't want Zhang Yifei to have any accidents, after all, the Indianapolis track was too dangerous. You can lose a game, but once you hit a concrete wall, you're gone.

Chinese formula drivers are such a lone seedling, and this kind of lone seedling does not mean that there are other low-level drivers except Zhang Yifei. But except for Zhang Yifei, there is really no one, he makes Chinese formula racing, from zero to the peak!

Looking at Zhang Yifei's crazy line on the track, Korsell finally understood what Yamamoto Ukyo said before, what it means to play extreme crash and crash out.

Just this kind of runaway edge of the line, put on the racing simulator, I don't know how many times the car has to be knocked out in order to achieve the current control. No wonder on the simulator, Zhang Yifei can run the fastest lap of the race track and the fastest lap time, not every driver dares to play like him.

Thinking of this, Korsell picked up Yamamoto Ukyo's notepad to record the lap time of the simulator, intending to see how Zhang Yifei improved little by little last night.

It's just that when Caser opened the notebook, he froze, because he had just turned the last page. He didn't see the lap record for the F1 standard track, but the lap record for the Indy oval!

This kid still has the energy to run the elliptical track last night, what the hell does he want to do?

Cosell's heart was full of shock, just as Zhang Yifei felt that he had underestimated Cosell before.

At this moment, Corell felt that he might have underestimated Zhang Yifei!
