198 Simple answer

"I won't choose to work with him!"

Cosel replied indifferently.

At that time, McLaren's team, because of Cosell's radical style, had a great conflict with Prost's conservative style.

This contradiction in concept leads to frequent debates between the two people, and even reaching a point where water and fire are incompatible.

But these are not big problems. As a top team, McLaren is not Kossel alone in the strategy group. Prost has his own exclusive racing engineer, and at most he just ignores Kossel's advice.

The fuse for the two people's real breakup was the shocking collision between Senna and Prost back then. Because of the unfair judgment of the French president of Fia, Senna lost the driver's title and his super driver's license was revoked.

At that time, Kossel's personality was even more popular, so he directly confronted Prost and asked him if he had deliberately changed his line and crashed into a car.

Later Prost admitted his intentional mentality, but it was impossible to admit it at that time, otherwise his driver's championship title would be gone, and the credibility of the FIA ​​would be questioned.

This incident made Kossel feel that Prost is despicable. He was unwilling to work with Prost again, and even planned to quit voluntarily.

However, the team later chose to take the lead, and asked "Professor" Prost to break with McLaren and go to Williams. The quarrel and riot between the two people was settled.

But after so many years, Kossel still has not changed his personality and holds the idea of ​​not seeking each other.

"So many years have passed, and Senna has finally reconciled with the professor, so what else can't work with?"

"And then, Prost also had reasons why he refused to let the line. Judging from this matter now, no one is right or wrong."

Adenauer explained that Senna and Prost had a big fight back then, but at the Australian station where the professor retired, the two hugged each other, which put an end to this grudge.

And at the funeral of Senna's accidental death, Prost was also one of the coffin carries the coffin, and even the two of them could reconcile. What is the conflict between Cosel and Prost's concept?

"This is not anger, but a fundamental conflict in concepts. I don't want to fly to become a conservative driver."

"More importantly, conservative strategies are definitely not the direction of future development of F1!"

As Kossel said, the next few years will be Ferrari's red dynasty. Although Schumacher is not as radical as Senna, it definitely has nothing to do with the word conservative.

Why is Prost's four championships not as great as Senna's three championships? There was a reason why Senna died young. If he was still alive, he would definitely break through the three championships.

However, the fundamental reason lies in offensiveness. Challenging the limits of track and speed, it is always on the verge of losing control. These are the souls a racer should have.

"But you have to understand that Prost is no longer a driver, he is the boss of the team. What style is Fei's future? It's up to him to decide, and no one can change his ideas."

"This is just my advice to you. Currently, the F1 team has vacancies and opportunities, only Prost, Sauber and Flying Arrow."

"And Prost is the most urgent situation and the most opportunity, it depends on how you choose."

"Of course, it's too early to say this now. The main reason is that flying must be in Renault's European Cup and running at a sweep. Otherwise, even the worst-scoring F1 team would not have a mediocre new driver."

After saying this, Adenauer got into the car, then patted Thor on the shoulder, signaling him to drive, leaving Cosel standing alone.

Now Adenauer is no longer the Le Mans driver he used to be. As the team boss, his thinking has changed a lot.

Champions and glory are things on the track, and what we need to consider at this stage is how to get drivers to stand on the F1 track.

Cosell watched Adenauer's car drive away, and he also thought about the other person's words in his mind. It's just that he knows Prost better than Adenauer, and knows the other person's stubbornness and persistence.

Just like taking the risk of a team crash, they all chose Peugeot engines to build a fleet that belongs entirely to the French.

Character is the most difficult thing for a person to change in his life. If possible, he would rather Zhang Yifei be the next Senna than the next Prost.

Zhang Yifei didn't know that so many stories happened after Cosell left. He was still sitting in the conference room, looking at books about aerodynamics.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and it was Yamamoto Ukyo and the others who came back.

"Why is it so late today?"

When Zhang Yifei saw Ah Hu and the others, he asked in confusion. For them, even if they change the brake calipers, plus the four-wheel positioning and adjustment, it shouldn't be so long.

"When we changed the caliper, we found a crack on the air kit. We didn't know if the crack was caused by a collision or was hit by debris due to a track accident. In order to avoid hidden dangers, the entire inspection vehicle was fully inspected."

The crack? Zhang Yifei recalled it and couldn't remember how it was caused. Could it be that it was his sexy operation when he was warming the beads and encountered Madu's racing car?

Zhang Yifei couldn't remember this kind of thing himself. Anyway, Yamamoto Ukyoto had already been repaired, so he didn't continue to worry about it, but said to Junko Takeda: "Sunko, today the boss of the f3000 team came to me and planned to let me go and be a test driver, but I refused."

Zhang Yifei did not intend to hide it from Takeda Junko and the others when he was poached. Because in a sense, their relationship has surpassed the simple workplace relationship before, but has become friends.

And to take a step back, the contract for youth training drivers is not the kind of formal driver contract, it is just a disguised student contract.

In fact, Zhang Yifei wants to change jobs, at most he will pay for Toyota youth training and be cancelled. There is no high transfer fee or liquidated damages.

This is not a big price for the takeover team. Moreover, if Toyota does not want to break up, or has other commercial cooperation with the takeover team, it can even be released directly.

Youth training drivers are destined to leave.

Zhang Yifei can't stay in Toyota forever as a youth training driver, so Junko Takeda was not very surprised.

She asked back: "Why refuse?"

"Because I want to enter f1."

Hearing this answer, Junko Takeda smiled. If it were a few months ago, she would have thought it was a fantasy.

But now seeing Zhang Yifei's progress and strength, there may be some brainwashing elements of Cosel. She thinks that it seems that Zhang Yifei's entry into F1 is not an unattainable thing.

"Brother Fei, how long will it take for you to enter F1?"

At this time, Ah Hu stood beside him and asked with his head tilted.

He knew that F1 was the most powerful group of drivers in this world, so he wanted to know when Fei Ge could become the most powerful person.

"Do you think I look like a god?"

"Hehe, Brother Fei, do you want to brag about being a car god again?"

Ah Hu was completely wrong, and he thought Zhang Yifei was planning to brag about his title as the Seven-Star Mountain Car God again.

"Ahu, I feel it's very difficult to communicate with you recently!"

"I mean I am not an immortal, how do you know when I can enter f1?"

Zhang Yifei replied helplessly.

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Fei, you want to say you don't know."

"But Brother Fei, please speak more directly in the future and don't beat around the bush. You don't know that my brain is not good. I have heard you talk too much in English recently, and I feel even more stupid."

"That's because you use less in your brain, and use more in the future!"

Zhang Yifei was speechless by Ah Hu. This kid sometimes looked like a living treasure.

"Okay, it's getting late today, tomorrow is the main competition, everyone should take a break early."

Zhang Yifei closed the book and stood up. It was already past nine o'clock now, and there was still a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

...

On Sunday, August 3, the Monza Track at 3 pm was not as hot as before, but rather a hint of coolness.

Because of the strong wind in the afternoon, it finally rained heavily in Debao, Shanghai last night, and it even stopped until this morning.

This heavy rain dispelled the heat of summer, but it also became a problem for many drivers today, that is, the Hoganheim track is very humid, especially some areas of the boulevard, and there is a faint accumulation of water.

There are two main types of wetland tires in Formula racing. The first type is the ordinary wetland tire with green label. The tire has a shallow pattern on the surface, which is used to improve drainage. It is suitable for situations where the track is slippery but there is no water accumulation.

In other words, it only rains a little bit, and the ground is half dry and half wet.

Another type is full-rain tires, with very deep patterns on the surface of the tires, which is a bit like the patterns of ordinary tires.

This tire speed is the slowest among all tire types of Formula Racing, but the drainage performance is also the best. It can cope with heavy rain and has a certain amount of water on the road. All are also called heavy rain tires.

Generally speaking, the frequency of full-rain tires is very low because when encountering heavy rain or heavy rain, the f1 event organization will choose to suspend the race in order to ensure the safety of drivers.

Because even if you are forced to race in this harsh environment, all racing cars will slow down and become boring like racing tours, without the speed and passion.

After all, scenes like the Senna Rain Battle are still difficult to see in F1, and it is precisely because they are rare that they appear particularly precious.

Now this problem is also facing Zhang Yifei. It is not raining in the sky, but there is some slight accumulation of water on the track. Should I choose a faster wetland tire or a safer full rain tire?

Unexpectedly, before I entered f1, I began to encounter a choice on the tires.

For these doubts, the best candidate to ask is of course Kossell, who is a member of the F1 strategy group. You should know that tire selection is the biggest tactical strategy in F1.

"Cosell, should we choose wetland tires or full rain tires this time?"

“Wetland tire.”

Cosel replied simply.

"Is it because wetland tires are more suitable for the current track environment? It also says that the weak water accumulation on the boulevard is not enough to affect the drainage of wetland tires, or does Hoganheim track have such historical data?"

Zhang Yifei thought about many possibilities and wanted to get a more detailed answer from Cosell.

“None are not.”

"What's that?"
