He also briefly moved up to fifth in the rankings.Stewart continued to maintain a strong performance. He used soft tires and broke through the 1:34 mark, widening the gap with other drivers.Later, Leisen and Dongsheng chose to use the ultra-soft tires for the lap test, but only Santak surpassed Silver's result and rose to second place. The other three drivers failed to shake the Bingcheng team's result.

In the last 15 minutes of the race, each team began to conduct long-distance tests, mainly to understand the performance of the tires on the long-distance field. Zhang Yue performed well in these 15 minutes, but the other drivers did not continue. Setting a new record, Stewart ranked first in the end, Santak and Seaver ranked second and third, followed by Leysin's Virgil and Teslock.Daniel from Dongsheng ranked sixth.The seven to ten riders are: Wesley, Zhang Yue, Easter and Alex.

The second free practice session in the afternoon ended at the cold and wet SAIC International Circuit.Stewart took the top spot with a time of 1:33, followed by Santak and Silver.

The Kleinson team, which had a good record in the last race, made its first appearance in this section, and Raikkonen was informed by the team that there was a software failure 9 minutes after his debut, but soon Santak returned to the track.

In the 30th minute of the race, the cars of Bingcheng and Dongsheng successively appeared on the stage for light-load fuel testing.In this test, Stewart first used the ultrasoft tire to achieve a time of 1:33 to take the top spot. Santak was only 482/3th behind and ranked second, ahead of No.0.03 Bottas by 0.1 seconds.Daniel, who only ranked sixth in the morning practice session, regained the speed of the car. His performance in the second practice session was only [-] seconds behind Stewart, ranking fourth in the race.

One hour after the start of practice in this section, most of the team drivers on the field expressed concern about the weather for the remaining half hour of practice.Because the weather forecast shows that the last 15 minutes of the practice session of the second quarter will be disturbed by rain, and the rain will continue until Saturday morning.Although the rain arrived on the field on time, most of the teams did not give up practice due to the intrusion of the rain. Altair and other big-name drivers put on light rain tires and appeared on the field. mistake.

Before the stoppage of the practice session, a dramatic scene appeared on the track.Stopped at Turn [-] of the track after a pit stop to change tires, Delacro found his Citro was once again having problems with the rear wheel bolts not tightening, and he had to end the week early Five exercises to work on.

After a night's rest, the next day was the third free practice competition. Dongsheng driver showed amazing speed and won the top two fastest laps. Daniel ranked first with 1:33, teammate Sang Tucker was 018 seconds behind, and Hamilton only ranked fifth.

In the first two free practice sessions on Friday (yesterday), Stewart of the Bingcheng team won the fastest lap twice, but Dongsheng was not bad either, showing a speed very close to that of his opponents, especially Santak , he was only 0.007 seconds behind in the second practice, and all signs indicated that the competition between the two sides in the third practice and qualifying will be very fierce.

This is indeed what everyone expected. After the start of the third practice, the temperature on the field seemed a bit cold, with the track temperature only 15 degrees Celsius.Both Dongsheng cars showed good speed. Daniel's first few laps were very clean. He ran a time of 1 minute, 33 seconds and 018 seconds. He also won the fastest lap in this practice session. , Santak, who performed well in yesterday's practice session, finally ranked second, 0.451 seconds behind his teammates.

Seaver of the Ice City Racing Team ranked third, 0.7 seconds behind Daniel, who was the leader, Tesrock ranked fourth, nearly 1 second behind Daniel, and Stewart had a slight loss of control at Turn 10, the fastest single Lap only ranked fifth, 1.04 seconds behind the leader.Next is Wes of the Porter Racing Team, and Zhang Yue is ranked No.8. Leysen driver Vergil exposed an engine problem in this practice session, and his prospects in qualifying are worrying.

For the next qualifying session in the afternoon, Bingcheng is still the favorite for the pole position. Whether they will come out in "party mode" again attracts attention, but Dongsheng proved that his speed is very close to Bingcheng, Daniel and Sang Tucker will have the opportunity to challenge for the pole position, and Teslock and the two Porter drivers may also play the role of spoiler.

So far, the three free practice sessions have all ended, and Zhang Yue has finally seen these drivers who are at the top of the "food chain" in F1. Even with the same engine, their performance is still not to be underestimated. Under such circumstances , how can anyone doubt their strength, and because of this, they have gained more fans instead!

But Zhang Yue's performance in these three free practice games is also worthy of praise, and the outside world's view of him has also changed a lot.

For a rookie, to be able to enter the top ten in the practice competition is already an incredible thing. Therefore, more eyes gathered on Zhang Yue, and they mentioned a lot about Zhang Yue. They were so interested that they were even looking forward to Zhang Yue's next performance.

The team is naturally quite satisfied with Zhang Yue's performance. On the other hand, Zhang Yue's other teammate, even though he has been in F1 for several years, can't compare to a rookie!
However, perhaps due to Zhang Yue's stimulation, his teammate Gao Xiaochen broke out uncharacteristically, and ranked fourteenth in the practice match.

After the break, the afternoon is the second most important qualifying match after the main race!

Compared with the previous free practice session, there are more spectators in the qualifying session, and some fans holding a sign with Zhang Yue's name can also be seen at the scene.

When qualifying was about to start, the temperature was still low, the atmospheric temperature was 12 degrees Celsius, and the track temperature was only 15 degrees Celsius.

Leysin's Vergil suffered an engine failure in practice before, and the team rushed to repair his car, but the specific situation will not be known until then.

At 14:1 BJ time, this qualifying match begins.Two Salvadoran drivers, Aifan and his teammates, took the lead on the track, and then the drivers came on stage one after another.
