When he arrived at the small free conference hall in the hotel, Cosell took out a stack of information from his briefcase and put it in front of Zhang Yifei.

"This is the strategy information of McLaren's former McLaren team, which includes the best brake points, normal routes, overtaking routes, defensive strategies, etc., as well as the previous cornering speeds found in Renault."

"I know you have watched other drivers' videos. These materials can better refer to and learn other people's routes. Before the competition, all materials must be memorized word by word. Remember, they are word by word!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei took a breath and the importance of McLaren Team Strategy Group Information was self-evident.

Even if it was something ten years ago, the track has not changed, and there has been no essential change in technology. This information can definitely be called a "rider's book". Unexpectedly, Cosell actually took it out for himself.

Seeing Zhang Yifei's shocked expression on his face, Cosell said calmly: "Don't be surprised, this thing is not a top secret. Each fleet has its own database."

"Data is dead, people are alive. Whether or not they can apply this data to the actual track depends on yourself."

After saying that, Cosell took out a few books again, which were different from the previous information about actual competitions, which were all knowledge of automobile theory.

"Have you been exposed to automotive theory knowledge training when you were in Toyota's youth training before?"

"I have been in contact with it, but because the Toyota Youth Training Team is in the preparatory stage and has more important physical fitness and track practice, it basically just takes a formality."

When Zhang Yifei joined the Toyota Youth Training Team, he was just in the early stage of the Toyota team, and many aspects were not perfect, and even drivers were still recruiting.

Car theory knowledge is basic knowledge for top drivers, and you can better understand your racing performance. You can feel any subtle heel changes on the track, and understand whether it is a racing problem or a mistake in your own operation.

Then, through feedback to the team engineers, selective adjustments are performed, so that drivers and racing can better match each other, forming the so-called "car-man-unity".

But for Formula Elementary Drivers, even the most basic driving skills may not reach the top. How can they experience this very subtle change in heels?

Therefore, although Toyota Youth Training Base has opened a theory course on automotive knowledge, whether it is Zhang Yifei or other drivers, it basically does not focus on theoretical knowledge.

Regarding Zhang Yifei's answer, Cosel just nodded, and did not say anything about Zhang Yifei because of this.

In fact, he can understand this point. There are too many things to improve in the early stage drivers. Track practice and physical training are more important. Car theory knowledge is just something that adds icing on the cake.

"You may not have a deep understanding of theoretical knowledge before, but if you want to stand at the peak of Formula Events in the future, these are indispensable or lacking."

"Tyres, suspension, steering, aerodynamics, and even further engine working principles, such as the knowledge of Otto cycles and related parameters, are all essential knowledge points for top riders."

"Only by understanding these, you will know where the brake lock is wrong, which racing parts should be adjusted inaccurate steering, and even the upshift and acceleration feel bad. You can adjust the gear gears that are more suitable for you with the engineer."

"Once you don't have this knowledge, you're always just blindly opening without knowing where the problem is."

Kossell patiently explained the importance of theoretical knowledge to Zhang Yifei, which is exactly the most likely thing that many young drivers ignore. If you want to reach the top and become a future F1 driver, you need to accumulate knowledge about racing from now on.

Just like the word "rider", there are only cars and hands, and the car must be regarded as part of life.

"I know."

Zhang Yifei also nodded with a key point. He actually understood all these principles.

When I was a rally driver in my previous life, racing cars often had to be in a harsh race environment, and damaging and repairing were commonplace. Many times, Zhang Yifei and the maintenance team worked day and night together.

But in this life, I entered the Formula Racing stage, and the technological content increased too much. I just adjusted the air kit. Without a doctorate in racing engineering, I didn’t dare to take action at all. Maybe it would have some negative effects.

Moreover, with more professional Toyota technical support, Zhang Yifei doesn’t need to do anything by himself, so he puts his knowledge on racing theory aside.

But then again, Kossell's requirements and actions today are not based on the standards of Formula Elementary Drivers, but entirely demanding himself according to the standards of an F1 driver.

Perhaps for Kossell, the f1 level is his only standard.

In the following time, Zhang Yifei entered a "tragic situation" like Ah Hu and Zhi Ge. Various track data and theoretical knowledge filled his brain madly.

Moreover, Kossel has higher requirements for Zhang Yifei. No competition data is allowed to show any deviation, which fully reflects the rigor of a German university professor. It can be said that Zhang Yifei's life is better than Ah Hu and the others.

However, Zhang Yifei's brain is much better than Ah Hu. With his previous life experience, his absorption process was very fast, which made Kossel feel satisfied.

It is indeed as his student Ukyo Yamamoto said, this little guy has great potential and has the foundation to become an F1 driver.

Time passed day by day, and Saturday soon came. This day will be the second stop of the Renault 2000 European Series, the qualifying time of Hoganheim.

Compared with the previous Italian Monza Station, Zhang Yifei has had an experience and seems more calm. He only set off from the hotel at 1:30 in the afternoon and arrived at Hoganheim before 2:30.

In the car, Ah Hu asked Zhang Yifei: "Brother Fei, how does this game feel? Are you confident?"

“When did I not have confidence?”

"Stop bragging, you just don't admit it when you don't have confidence!"

Ah Hu knows Zhang Yifei very well and knows that many times, although Fei Ge is full of confidence on the surface, he also has moments when he lacks confidence.

But this time he felt Zhang Yifei's changes, as if he was even calmer and less nervous than before the game.

"I think Yifei is indeed confident. Professor Kossell's teaching during this period is even more terrifying than Teacher Ziling!"

Brother Zhi said to Zhang Yifei. Before, they thought that he had recited and dictated various words by He Ziling, but when he saw Zhang Yifei's thick stack of track materials every day and his dictionary-like knowledge of automobile theory, Chen Zhi felt a deep sympathy.

To be honest, when he entered the auto repair major, he felt that he had not studied as deeply as Zhang Yifei. At least he had not yet come into contact with high-end disciplines such as aerodynamics, fluid design, and racing engineering.

After all, domestic universities only open to automotive engineering at most, while some top foreign universities have subdivided racing engineering, which essentially determines professionalism.

"Yifeijun has indeed had a lot of learning intensity these days."

Junko Takeda agreed. Everyone saw Zhang Yifei's actions these days, and they remembered the racing information crazily every day. Even when they were in the simulated cockpit, they were under the traction pressure of dozens of kilograms, and they even posted the data on the steering wheel.

It can be said that Zhang Yifei returned to the crazy years of competing for the Renault quota. The twelve hours of learning intensity squeezed all his potential.

"I don't know what kind of track strategy Professor Kossell will develop for Yifei today."

He Ziling asked curiously, and she was looking forward to seeing Zhang Yifei's performance in the qualifying competition.

"Full throttle!"

Everyone replied in unison, and then laughed, just like Zhang Yifei. When he was coaching the Cosell track, everyone remembered the word "full throttle".

Let’s not talk about other strategies for now, just don’t loosen the accelerator!

Chatting all the way, I soon arrived at the Hockenheim Raceway, Germany. Although Heidelberg can only be regarded as a small city compared to the size of Chinese cities, there are also tens of thousands of spectators watching the game on site today.

When he entered the repair station, Zhang Yifei also glanced at the audience. What surprised or surprised him was that he saw several red national flags.

To be honest, I was alone in a foreign land and was fighting in a track abroad. I suddenly saw these red flags waving for me, and I felt an indescribable feeling and touch in my heart.

"Brother Fei, that's the national flag, and finally our compatriots support us!"

Ah Hu's tone was very excited. In the last Monza event, Zhang Yifei was considered a pure stranger. No one knew his name, no supporter in the audience, and even the most basic group of relatives and friends.

Because at that time, Zhang Yifei was just a newcomer, and Renault's European Cup could only be considered a Formula Elementary Event, and no one would applaud him.

Even though some Chinese and overseas Chinese in Europe are willing to support a Chinese driver, they have no channels to learn that Zhang Yifei is participating in the competition.

At that time, there were actually some Chinese and overseas Chinese watching the battle, but their initial target was not Zhang Yifei, so it was naturally impossible to prepare the national flag or something in advance.

But today is different. Whether it is negative or positive reports, Zhang Yifei has in some sense increased his popularity. As the saying goes, he is not afraid of someone being criticized, but he is afraid that there are not even people who are criticized.

At the same time, although the runner-up title of Monza is not very valuable, it is still a breakthrough for China's Formula Racing Zero. More importantly, it allows supporters to see hope. It turns out that Chinese drivers are not all running with them, and they also have the ability to stand on the podium.

And not only that, Zhang Yifei finally issued the championship declaration through Renault event reporter Ji Na, which excited some overseas car fans!
