This foreign man who was watching Zhang Yifei is the new boss Nicki Lauda who has just taken office in the Jaguars.

Nicki Lauda was the winner of the three F1 driver championships in the 1970s and 1980s. The reason why the Nurburgring track is divided into the South Ring and the North Ring is precisely because of the racing accident he encountered in 1976 that Fia noticed the potential for timely rescue of the track.

The accident caused a raging fire in Lauda's racing car, which caused severe burns. In addition, the toxic heat inhaled caused damage to his lungs and blood systems, and he went into a critically ill coma.

But after only six weeks, Lauda returned to the track with a blockbuster scar, and only took the runner-up of the year with a slight disadvantage of 1 point.

His return after the accident was considered one of the bravest examples of racing, and later made a biopic called "rush".

You should know that this is one of the few drivers qualified to make biographical movies. Another well-known driver documentary in China is probably "The Eternal Car God Senna".

From this point of view, it can also be seen that Lauda can be regarded as one of the legendary drivers of F1.

As Lauda had guessed, there were only a few young Asian drivers in Europe who could have top stadium races.

Soon the team assistant found Zhang Yifei's information from Fia and handed it to Lauda who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

“Formula Elementary Driver?”

After seeing the information, Lauda was a little surprised. He thought that this kind of track strength, the RV race was at least at the international first-class event level, and the Formula was at least first-class F3, or even a F3000-level driver.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei was just a Formula Elementary Driver, which was actually not good news for Lauda.

Because he was surprised by Zhang Yifei's performance in the New North Track just now, he wanted to get in touch with him.

But as an F1 team and behind it is Ford Motor Company, it can be said that in terms of background strength, Jaguars are not inferior to some of the current f1 wealthy teams.

Even if you just entered the f1 paddock this year, you will not be exposed to the primary equation, such a "low-level" driver.

Kimi Raikkonen's success was based on Sauber's lack of money and achievements.

Although the Jaguars have no results now, because they are Ford behind it, they do not lack research and development and backing, so Formula Elementary Drivers are not considered by the Jaguars.

Even if Lauda feels that he has strength and potential, it will be difficult to get the consent of the team management and parent company in the end.

Because unlike ordinary private fleet owners, team bosses like Lauda are more like professional managers and have no absolute rights.

Moreover, the factional struggles within the Jaguars were very fierce, resulting in the team's performance hovering at the bottom even though the accounts were very strong.

In history, Lauda was only a team boss for two years and was directly fired by Ford. Without notice, he still got news of his dismissal in the newspaper.

"Boss, do you need me to contact this young driver?"

"Not needed for the time being. He only has one Renault event sub-station championship, so he can't impress the team management. He doesn't even have the qualifications to try the driver."

"At least he has to win the title of Renault to get into sight."

The F1 team will only need the strongest drivers, rather than looking at the so-called potential. Lauda does not have enough decision-making power in the Jaguar team, so even if he appreciates Zhang Yifei's strength, he can only give up this idea for the time being.
