The red racing car is speeding on the track. The accelerator and brake make the sound of the engine more relaxed and powerful, while the shift paddles make the "buzzing" sound more rhythmic.
From a straight line into a curve, from a curve into a straight line, or from a continuous curve, Zhang Guan performed with ease, and the red racing car constantly set new top lap speeds.
Lap, lap, lap after lap, the reporters waited anxiously, but the accident they were waiting for did not happen, and Zhang Guan on the track was as stable as a mountain.
"It looks like we don't need to dispatch anymore!" the safety car driver stretched and said to his companions.
"Yeah, Zhang Guan drives really well! He doesn't look like a rookie who doesn't know anything at all! Haha, I think he drives better than you!" the co-pilot said jokingly.
"Better than me? How is that possible? How could I lose to a rookie!" the driver said.
"That's not necessarily true! I don't think it would be possible for you and me to drive so well!"
…
"Zhang Guan ran really well!" A reporter from Europe said as he pressed the shutter of his camera and captured the shadow of the red racing car speeding past.
"Isn't it? I think it's no worse than other drivers. Look at the corner just now, it was just right." Another reporter, also from Europe, responded.
"As expected of Zhang Guan! He always brings surprises to us. It doesn't matter if he has athletic talent, he is so good at driving a racing car!" someone else said.
"Have I said it before, F1 will not issue super licenses to people indiscriminately. Since Zhang Guan can get that super license, he must have the ability to drive Formula One!"
The European reporter mentioned the super driver's license, which immediately made an Australian reporter next to him look embarrassed.
This reporter is the one who said he "has the right to express personal opinions" when he surrounded Zhang Guan yesterday. His main purpose of coming today is to watch Zhang Guan's jokes. Once Zhang Guan has an accident, he can report it vigorously. He even After waiting for Zhang Guan to have an accident, he went up to interview Zhang Guan and slap Zhang Guan in the face. But what he didn't expect was that Zhang Guan made almost no mistakes since he got on the track and his performance was perfect.
The comments from European reporters around him made him feel even more ashamed. Zhang Guan's success undoubtedly represented his "ignorance". At this time, Zhang Guan's performance on the racing track really made him feel that he was "ignorant". Demonstrate ignorance”.
"How could this happen? Zhang Guan can really drive a Formula One car, and he can drive it so well! If he really wins the race the day after tomorrow, then we will become a laughing stock again!" The Australian reporter remembered two The situation of being slapped in the face by Zhang Guan at the Australian Open two years ago made everyone feel more depressed than the other.
…
Omi stared at the track with wide eyes.
"What's going on? It's already been ten laps and he's still running! Why hasn't he had an accident yet? Didn't he buy a super driver's license with money? How can he really drive Formula One? Didn't the media say before that he must be on the road? Did you crash? Run off the track? Install a guardrail? Now there's not even a skid! You can comfort me even if you skid! Didn't you say that Zhang Guan is a 'road killer'? How come you drive so smoothly!"
Omi clenched his fists tightly, and the hatred for Zhang Guan in his heart gradually turned into a high degree of old jealousy, as if a cork was pressed on his heart.
You can say grapes are sour if you can't eat them, but you have to be qualified to eat grapes first, and now Omi obviously doesn't even have the qualifications to eat sour grapes.

"It's been twelve laps. If I remember correctly, Zhang Guan didn't seem to have made a single mistake in these twelve laps!" Newey said while staring at the track.
"Strictly speaking, it's true. Although there were two turns that were slightly wider, the impact on the speed was minimal." His assistant said.
"There were no mistakes in twelve laps, and it is unlikely that there will be another one in the future. This is the kind of concentration that only top drivers can have. It seems that Zhang Guan's purchase of the Honda team was not just a whim, he really wants to drive an F1 car! Newey smiled bitterly and whispered: "And it's pretty good!"

On the other side of the McLaren team, the roar of the engine on the track made team leader Whitmarsh a little restless.
Like the McLaren team, the China Force team also uses Mercedes-Benz engines, while the McLaren team is a factory team, and Whitmarsh participated in the development of this engine, so Whitmarsh can Determine the working status of the engine from the sound.
"Judging from the sound of the engine, Zhang Guan has almost used the power of this engine to perfection. This is a skill that only experienced drivers have. It is difficult for new drivers to do this. Is Zhang Guan really a rookie who has just come into contact with racing? ?How can a rookie use the engine to this extent?" Whitmarsh's mind was filled with confusion.
At this time, Hamilton's voice sounded in Whitmarsh's headphones: "I heard that the new team just improved the fastest lap time to less than 1 minute 28 seconds 50? Are they using soft tires?"
"No, they're using medium tyres!" Whitmarsh replied.
"Medium tires? Doesn't that mean that if they run with soft tires, it is possible to run within 1 minute and 27 seconds?" Hamilton's voice was a little dissatisfied, and he said: "They are just a new team, but judging from the results, this The new team has surpassed their predecessor Honda team, the double-layer diffuser works very well, we have to speed up the development pace."
"Don't worry, our research and development is definitely the fastest." Whitmarsh said into the headphones.
"I don't know what's going on, but I feel a little uneasy when I see the results of the new team." Hamilton paused for a moment, then said: "Zhang Guan, a rookie, can run such results, which shows that the new team's car is great. , maybe this new team will become our most important opponent in the future... "

Ferrari's command center.
The team's chief engineer Dale looked at Zhang Guan's latest lap time and said: "This result is already very good for a new team. Considering that he used medium tires instead of soft tires, This will result in a loss of speed, but if we switch to soft tires, the time should be improved by 1 second."
"But don't forget that the person in the car is Zhang Guan! If it were Barrichello, I wouldn't be surprised to achieve this result, but Zhang Guan is a rookie who has never participated in a racing competition. It's really amazing that he can do this. It's like a fantasy." Schumacher, who was standing next to him, stared at the screen and gradually frowned.
"But why do I feel that the rhythm of Zhang Guan's driving is so familiar?"
