Cosell didn't care about Zhang Yifei's expression full of black lines, on the contrary, he really followed Zhang Yifei's suggestion and increased his efforts to get the team engineers to tune the stiffer suspension.

Anyway, it's a practice match now, since this kid's requirements are as hard as possible, then meet his requirements, and better test Zhang Yifei's acceptance limit.

Seeing that Kossel really adjusted the stiffer suspension according to his own requirements, Zhang Yifei couldn't wait to swallow back the sentence just now, this old German man really arranged himself clearly!

Everything is ready, and when the safety car track inspection is over, the first practice session at Interlagos will officially begin.

According to the dispatch of the track command center, the various teams in the pit station began to start from the P room one by one to avoid accidents before the official race began.

The Prost team did not let Alessi go first this time, after all, Zhang Yifei, who has two races experience, no longer needs the French veteran to help him do a preliminary track road surface assessment, he can take on the task of track feedback.

While Zhang Yifei was waiting for the start, Ferrari's Barrichello had already rushed to the track first. His appearance can be said to have made the audience boil, the earth-shattering sound of samba drums, even Zhang Yifei, who was waiting at the maintenance station, heard the sound of "knock, knock, knock", and the audience's neat shouts.

It's just that he doesn't understand Portuguese either, so he doesn't know what the audience is saying, but he can probably guess that it's something like refueling.

Zhang Yifei heard the shouts of the track, and Korsell naturally heard it, and he suddenly said: "When you are playing, don't be affected by any off-the-field factors, only the track and the opponent in your eyes." ”

Having raced several races in Brazil, Korcel knows the frenzy of this American crowd, and if they support him, there is a sense of power to fight at home. But once faced with their hostility, the pressure is also greater than that of other tracks.

When preparing for the game, Korsell had already heard a lot of live audiences, for Zhang Yifei's verbal attacks, coupled with the death threats brought by media reports, as a rookie in the season, Korsell was worried for the first time that Zhang Yifei would not be able to withstand such psychological pressure, so he opened his mouth to advise.

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to Coser: "The moment the helmet mask is put down, my world is only left with racing cars, and there are no external factors that can interfere with me." ”

"Good."

Korssell replied with a blank face, which is also one of the differences between him and traditional coaches, that is, he will never be too comforting.

As a top professional driver, at a critical moment, even a person who has to race against death, it is better to retire if he can't bear it, so as not to add another name to the list of F1 dead drivers.

After Barrichello was released, McLaren's Coulthard and Williams' Montoya started in turn. After all, this is the current F1 Big Three team, regardless of whether there is an official ranking or not, these three teams have indeed opened a notch from other teams, are in the first echelon, and many times enjoy some priority conditions.

Because the biggest profit point of F1 is the sale of event rights around the world, the more attention the top teams and popular drivers have, the more revenue will be brought in. Coupled with the fact that this is Brazil's home turf, it is also the consistent practice of the F1 organization to let local drivers and American drivers appear first.

Sure enough, when the two most influential drivers in the Americas were unveiled, the Brazilian and Colombian fans who came to watch the race today were even more excited, raising the atmosphere of the practice session to a higher level.

In the Pit Stop of the Prost Racing Team, the car has also been ignited, Zhang Yifei's eyes looked at the starting lights on the pit lane, when it turns green, it means that the pit lane can pass safely.

"Brother Fei, come on!"

"Fly, let the miracle continue."

"Fly, conquer Brazil!"

The team members also knew the pressure that Zhang Yifei might face in Brazil, and they cheered him on when he started.

In the face of the refueling of the team members, Zhang Yifei also smiled and made an OK gesture, indicating that he was fine!

The green light turned on, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator, and the JS53 car quickly rushed out of the pit station and entered the maintenance channel.

Now Zhang Yifei is accustomed to the "violent" starting method, which is why when he takes the driver's license test, he will subconsciously step on the accelerator, because it will speed up faster.

The Interlagos pit lane, which is still the standard 80km/h, was heard when the blue Prost car drove out of the pit lane, and the samba drums that had resounded on the track before stopped instantly, and were replaced by various whistles.

Obviously, the American audience here today is very dissatisfied with Zhang Yifei, and they are expressing their attitude.

Zhang Yifei, who was driving the racing car, only had the track in front of him and the roaring sound of the engine in his ears, and was not affected by off-field factors at all. In fact, this is not a psychological quality that ignores things outside the window, but in the face of engine noise comparable to that of a jet airliner taking off, even if Zhang Yifei wants to pay attention, he is powerless.

The only thing he could feel was that the samba dancers who were "singing and dancing" in the stands before all stopped their movements at this time, and the lively stands were instantly deserted.

"his mother! The hostility of these Brazilians is greater than that of the Australians. ”

Ah Hu, who was in the maintenance parking space, felt the change in the atmosphere of the track, and couldn't help but complain to Chen Zhi.

In the Australian opener, those Australians are more of an arrogant, long-term white domination of formula cars, so that they have a natural sense of superiority, in the face of Zhang Yifei, who wants to challenge white drivers, naturally exudes a kind of contempt and irony.

But the feeling of the Brazil station is different, they are more organized, as if they have discussed it, and they are unified in the stands against Zhang Yifei. This feeling is quite like an away game in basketball and football, and it is also the kind of away game of opposing teams, and the hostility is more obvious.

"I want to find a soft persimmon to stand up, but they will kick it on the iron plate."

Chen Zhi said disdainfully, in his opinion, Brazil is a broken house in the racing kingdom, which once stood at the peak, but in the end there was no successor.

Now with the presence of a Barrichello, it has become their hope, and that fragile pride wants to make Barrichello a top driver, not allowing for provocation and contempt.

As a result, Zhang Yifei stepped on this red line, which made them feel unacceptable, a Chinese rookie, won the third place in the sub-station, why did he think he could challenge Barrichello?

After all, no matter what the Brazilian driver says, the "ancestor" has also been brilliant, and there is a name for breaking down. What do you Chinese drivers have? The historical results are zero, the desert of formula racing, and even the qualifications of poor households are not qualified!

So they feel that they are qualified to ridicule Zhang Yifei, and at the same time they want to use Zhang Yifei to stand up and let the world see what will happen if they despise the Brazilian driver!

"Hehe, that's right, Phineas aren't such easy to pinch."

Ah Hu laughed at this time, as the number one horse boy, he has a blind confidence in Zhang Yifei, Zhang Yifei is invincible!

Zhang Yifei on the track, after using the maintenance channel, directly stepped on the floor oil to the end.

Because the exit of the pit lane is right in the long straight area of the track, the speed can be increased to a top speed of 300km/h in 7th gear.

That's why there are often crashes at the exit of the Interlagos circuit, because the long straights cause the car to be too fast, and the width of the exit section is narrow, and suddenly facing a car coming out of the pit lane, it is like a "ghost probe" on the road, and many drivers can't react at all.

In '03, in order to avoid another serious accident at the pit exit, the Interlagos circuit was finally widened to make the race safer due to the joint protest of the team and the drivers.

For the Interlagus circuit, Zhang Yifei has driven many times on the racing simulator, but this is the first time he has actually driven it. As soon as he entered the long straight road, Zhang Yifei understood what it meant to be bumpy!

Kosell opted for the stiffest suspension, allowing the JS53 to hardly absorb the rough surface. Zhang Yifei could clearly feel the fine vibration brought by the contact between the wheels and the road surface.

Especially at ultra-high speeds, encountering those particularly rough sections of the road can even make Zhang Yifei feel that his body is trembling!

The reason why the Interlagos circuit is so bumpy is actually simpler than many people think, that is, Brazil is a country with potholes, and an F1 track asphalt is reluctant to change for decades, and the usual track maintenance is also a mess, which naturally leads to poor road conditions.

This bumpy and "tattered" track condition was not improved until the asphalt was resurfaced in '07. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that South American countries such as Brazil and Argentina are getting worse and worse in terms of development, and the efficiency of handling things is simply outrageous!

After running this long straight at high speed, Zhang Yifei vaguely regretted it in his heart, and considered whether to feedback the suspension to Kosell through the team's voice.

But thinking about his "bold words" before the start, he admitted it before the technical test circle was finished, which was a bit too embarrassing. Moreover, the speed increase brought by the long straight hard suspension is also the advantage that Zhang Yifei is unwilling to give up easily.

As Korsell said before the race, Prost's own weak power suffers from acceleration on long straights. If you change to soft suspension, it may be a racing car, and you can eat yourself the long straights.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Yifei finally didn't choose feedback, he preferred the pleasure brought by speed compared to the pressure of his body!

Just when Zhang Yifei was still making a decision about the suspension problem, there was already a racing car, which was rapidly closing the distance with him.
