711 Don't overthink it

Zhang Yifei's crazy performance at the start was also a shot in the arm for the Chinese audience who were worried about his practice results.

This kind of operation is Zhang Yifei's normal performance, and the arrogant driver flew back last year!

"Well done, starting better than two opponents, this is the strength of our Chinese drivers!"

"Montoya is really vulnerable, and the Indy Champion is nothing more than that!"

"Helio wait, you'll end up like Montoya soon!"

"There is also a saying that Zhang Yifei's night battle is a shortcoming, it's just a joke!"

All kinds of rumors on the track before really made many Zhang Yifei supporters worry that he would not adapt to the environment of the night battle in Singapore.

Some people even began to wonder if Zhang Yifei lost himself in the praise of the media and fans after achieving good results last year, and there was a situation similar to hurting Zhongyong.

Now it seems that these worries are superfluous, the driver is still so strong, and the Chinese car god deserves its name!

At the beginning, he surpassed two drivers in a row, and he was a driver who was quite ranked high last year, which made the audience who mocked Zhang Yifei's strength in the new season unsightly.

Especially when I saw this group of Chinese hillbillies getting nervous again, I pushed the unhappy mood in my heart to the peak.

"I don't know what the first lap is, and I haven't seen the Chinese hillbilly of the equation."

"No one took the qualifying start seriously, and let the Chinese kid pick up a leak, and really thought that he would be able to take pole position by more than two cars?"

"Would you like to take pole position, did you ask us if Scuderia Ferrari?"

“FUCKYOU! You also deserve to insult the Indian local program champions? ”

"Helio will kill your Chinese drivers, long live America!"

The defeat of the Indy program by Zhang Yifei is an eternal pain in the hearts of all American car fans and Indy enthusiasts.

So as soon as this was mentioned, many fans at the scene seemed to be poked at the G-spot, and all kinds of scolding began to sound. I have to say that there are many people with loud voices, and several fans have joined forces to directly suppress the voices of Chinese fans.

Inside the Prost pit pit, looking at Zhang Yifei's radical opening, the strategy team was not only happy, but also vaguely worried.

"Isn't Fei a little too emotional, and there was some pressure in the practice session, so it was released in qualifying?"

Prost opened his mouth to say that he hadn't watched Zhang Yifei's official match for a long time.

In this move of qualifying, Zhang Yifei was obviously emotional, and he felt a little like making enemies everywhere. It's best if you can easily run the fastest lap, but if you can't, you may be blocked by other drivers and affect the final result.

And for F1 cars, the fastest laps are basically in the middle and late stages. Because the oil temperature was just right at that time, the driver entered the state, and more importantly, after the fuel consumption, the weight of the car was greatly reduced.

At that time, the sprint lap time, encountering the opponent's outburst, even if it is only a small delay of a few tenths of a second, will have a great impact on the final result, and may drop a few rankings.

So now Zhang Yifei's behavior of making enemies is really not very wise.

"If you have a lot of pressure in practice, you can't do the kind of test that requires a lot of calm."

Cosell replied lightly, he couldn't get used to Prost's "fear of things" performance. When I was a driver, I also avoided all kinds of risks, but now that I am the boss, I am still cautious.

"Then why did you say Fei did this?"

"How can there be so many why? He just wants to drive faster, can't he? ”

Cosell unceremoniously scolded Prost, a driver on the track, how can there be such a complicated idea, not everyone is like Prost, called "Dr. Cars".

If you want to drive faster, if you want to overtake the car in front of you, just do it! If the other party is not satisfied and wants to block the car, then do it!

The championship and pole position on the track are won back, not by pulling the relationship!

Cosell's words directly made Prost speechless, if anyone who is a member of the crew dares to speak to the boss like this, and if he doesn't say anything, he will be fired or something, at least in the future, it will not be easy to be in the team.

But in the face of Kossel, Prost could only endure this breath, ten years ago, this old German man was this kind of urine, and he couldn't let him get out, so he could only endure it!

In fact, as Korsell said, Zhang Yifei didn't think about so many gains and losses, he just wanted to drive fast and feel the performance of the new generation of Prost AP05 in the real F1 confrontation.

Because before, whether it was the winter test or the qualifying race in Singapore, it was not a real confrontational event, but each ran its own race.

Ranked Death is theoretically not exactly a competitive event, but at least it's much better than testing and practice matches. Zhang Yifei has been patient for a long time, it's time for Prost's new car to show its true strength!

The crazy engine roared, the feeling of sitting on the AP05 for the first time hit again, the performance of the car is here, strong is strong, and the impact brought by the surging power is really not comparable to the previous JS53.

Ahead of Montoya is Williams' Ralph Schumacher, who finished fourth in points last year, behind Ferrari's two top drivers and McLaren's Coulthard.

Although Williams did not have a single driver in the top three last year, they overtook McLaren to become last year's runner-up team by combining the fourth and fifth points.

Montoya was overtaken, and Ralph Schumacher had been reminded by the team's voice, and his mood was also quite shocked at the moment.

The Chinese kid has always been more arrogant and arrogant in the F1 paddock, but qualifying is to pull hatred everywhere, which has exceeded the general arrogant category. The driver Fei ran a good result last year, and then he started to look at no one and didn't pay attention to the other drivers in the paddock?

The Williams strategy team did not give instructions for Ralph Schumacher to block the car, after all, for the team, results are everything, not all kinds of revenge and vindictiveness on the track.

Therefore, whether to intercept Zhang Yifei or not is entirely up to Ralph Schumacher's own choice.

However, most of the spectators and crew members in the paddock thought that Ralph Schumacher would not get used to the Chinese boy. Even if qualifying is a meaningless thing to lose, many times people live in the world just to fight for a breath!

Everyone is looking forward to a crazy showdown between Zhang Yifei and Ralph Schumacher to see if last year's strongest newcomer can still remain strong against the top F1 drivers this year.

Even Zhang Yifei himself is scrappy and ready to fight Ralph Schumacher. After all, even Super Heidefeld and Montoya had a certain taste of taking advantage of their unpreparedness before, and there was no real showdown.

Now facing Ralph Schumacher, let's even really test the strength of AP05 and himself!

But at this time, a scene that surprised almost everyone appeared, Ralph Schumacher faced Zhang Yifei's menacing, and did not block the car to fight back, but gave way to the overtaking route and let Zhang Yifei go like this.

"What's the matter, doesn't Ralph dare fight with Fei?"

Dennis from the McLaren team pit station said in a surprised tone, he wanted Ralph Schumacher to test Zhang Yifei's strength and success this year, but he didn't expect Schumacher Jr. to choose to avoid the war!

"Driver Fei did have a strong performance last year, and he won the fastest car in the winter test, but Ralph Schumacher is not enough to dare to run with him, right?"

Team manager Whitmarsh's face is also full of shock, knowing that Schumacher Jr. is currently recognized as a top five driver in F1, and many even regard him as a future world champion, believing that he can continue the miracle of his brother Michael Schumacher.

For example, the later Toyota team paid a signing fee at the world championship level and signed Ralph Schumacher to his own team.

Top drivers are not only strength, but also fame and status, this may be a rare top driver in the history of F1 who dare not face the challenge of newcomers and powerhouses, is the power of the Chinese kid so exaggerated?

"I don't think Ralph Schumacher is afraid to fly, I guess he just doesn't have the fighting spirit and doesn't want to give his all in the first lap of qualifying."

The genius designer Neuvey couldn't help but say that he didn't think it would be so.

The biggest difference between Ralph Schumacher and his brother is his fighting spirit and desire for a title.

This is a flirtatious playboy who can flirt with race girls in the pits during races. The results and driving skills on the track are good, but they just lack the unstoppable smell of Schumacher.

But no matter what, Ralph Schumacher is a man who stands in the ranks of the top drivers, and if he is afraid to fight, I am afraid that this is the end of his career.

In fact, as Newy had guessed, Ralph Schumacher decided not to fight head-on after thinking about it.

It's not that he's afraid, it's that he doesn't want to fight these indifferent battles in the first lap of qualifying.

Zhang Yifei wants to run fast is his choice and character, Ralph doesn't want to fight so fast, it is also his style, not as complicated as those on the sidelines think.

In fact, there is another reason, that is, he wants to let Barrichello, who is further ahead, test the water and witness how strong Zhang Yifei, who is sharp at the moment, is strong in the new season and whether he can adapt to the night battle on the whole track.

However, at this moment, Ralph Schumacher was indeed a little shocked in his heart, that is, Zhang Yifei's overtaking speed and route were obviously more crisp and neat than last year, without the slightest superfluous action.

Almost as soon as he revealed that he didn't want to fight, he was overtaken by Zhang Yifei who seized the opportunity, and he didn't even have time to regret it.

Looking at the stance, Fei knew the comments from the outside world after the practice session, so he was so crazy in qualifying, and wanted to run an amazing lap time on the first lap to prove his strength?
