247 My Goal
Did I succeed? Did I become an F1 driver?
Zhang Yifei asked himself a few words in his mind, even though he had imagined it countless times before, and Zhang Yifei was very confident that he would definitely become an F1 driver.
But when this scene really appeared in front of me, he still felt like he was dreaming. Have I really become an F1 driver?
In my previous life, I was a rally driver. I finally reached the threshold of Europe, but because of a track accident, I even lost my life and came to this world.
Originally, Zhang Yifei thought about taking a different path and challenging the most technologically-rich racing car on the earth. As for whether he could become an F1 driver, he was not sure about it, so he could only say that this was his dream. How long will it take to realize it, it would be even more unpredictable.
After all, I am too far behind in the starting line. Even if I have the experience of racing in my previous life, I am far from qualified to become an F1 driver.
So many times, Zhang Yifei did not define himself as a talented driver, but instead considered himself a trailer.
There is always time to renew the cheating process. In the previous life experience, at most, help me gain a foothold in the primary formula stage. If you want to enter the F1 arena, you still have to rely on your own efforts.
So many times, Zhang Yifei uses the method of squeezing his potential to improve himself madly.
Whether it is the Hong Kong Island Club, the Toyota Youth Training Base, or even when he comes to Europe, he can say that he has exceeded at least 95% of the drivers in physical training and driving skills.
As for the remaining five percent, it was purely Zhang Yifei's modesty and he didn't want to say too much. Otherwise, Zhang Yifei could say that he was the hardest, no one!
Because Zhang Yifei has always believed in one sentence, that is, most people work so low that they are far from competing for talent. Zhang Yifei works so hard not to compete for talent with others, but to fill in his backwardness at the starting line.
Today, Zhang Yifei finally did it. Whether it is hard work or talent, he crossed the threshold of F1 drivers. Even if it is just a Prost team that is about to go bankrupt, it is still one of the top ten professional teams in the world!
At the same time, Zhang Yifei also knew that he had set another record, that is, he was about to become China's first F1 driver! And he was not the so-called test driver, but the official driver who really wanted to participate in the main race.
Even twenty years later, there has been no real F1 racer in China. Zhang Yifei has brought this history at least twenty years ahead of time!
"Mr. Zhang Yifei, first of all, congratulations on winning the sub-station championship again. What do you want to say about your winning championship?"
"Driver fly, you won the sub-station championship and broke the track record, which means you reached an agreement with Prost. When will you sign a formal driver contract?"
"Fei, you have now copied the miracle of Kimi Raikkonen. You will become an opponent with him on the track in the future. Do you still have confidence in your pre-race remarks?"
Various reporters' questions came to their faces, and they woke Zhang Yifei who was a little dazed before, and returned to this real track from the "memories".
Faced with so many questions, Zhang Yifei didn't know which one should be answered, so he could only reply in a general way: "First of all, I am naturally very happy to be able to win the sub-station championship again."
"But I'm even happier that I've completed the agreement with Professor Prost and will be eligible to be a formal F1 driver."
"As for the confidence issue you mentioned, have you ever seen me lose confidence when did you see me?"
When Zhang Yifei talked about it later, he smiled at the reporter who asked the question. He had nothing else and was now in a stage of overwhelming self-confidence.
Sure enough, when this sentence was said, it aroused the impression in the minds of many people. The guy in front of him was still the arrogant Chinese driver flying.
"Mr. Zhang Yifei, it seems that you are very confident. Do you think with your current strength, you can achieve results in entering the F1 paddock in the future?"
"What do you think?"
Zhang Yifei asked back.
Faced with Zhang Yifei's replies, the reporter was obviously stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously replied: "I don't know."
"Then I can tell you now that my goal is to become a car god!"
Zhang Yifei said this and instantly ignited the scene again. Before this Chinese boy entered F1, he began to think about the title of the God of Cars. Don’t he know that the only driver who can be called the God of Cars is Senna?
Or does a Chinese boy think he can match Senna?
"Fei, although you are very strong in the Elementary Formula, don't be too arrogant. The f1 paddock is the strongest driver's arena in the world."
"Zhang Yifei, be more low-key. This goal is really too high!"
"Chinese boy, don't be too full of words, don't enter F1 and become a laughing stock."
Perhaps Zhang Yifei's remarks shocked some fans at the scene, and they didn't dare to speak and agree at this moment.
After all, my previous arrogance was just facing some Formula Elementary Drivers, but between F1 and Formula Elementary, there was a world of strength between F3 and F3000 events.
There are not too many drivers who can enter F1 in the junior high-level race. In other words, there are only a handful of drivers who can enter F1 in the Renault-level race.
Whether it is Kimi or Masa and Kubica, whom Zhang Yifei has come into contact with, they are all sure to win the championship in junior high-level events, and the difficulty is not at the same level at all!
But Zhang Yifei didn't care about these remarks, and still had that confident smile on his face. If the Qixing Mountain Race God I often said before was more of a joke, then now he said that he wanted to become a Race God, which is his goal to enter F1 in the future.
Just like a soldier who does not want to be a general, not a good soldier, a driver enters the world's top racing hall and does not have the ambition to become a car god, then he is not a qualified driver and cannot afford the honor and pride of an F1 driver!
...
Zhang Yifei celebrated the post-match interview in the area, and was also seen by the three team bosses in the VIP viewing room.
"Prost, it seems that this Chinese boy is really arrogant. He has considered the name of the car god before he officially entered F1."
"But then again, the radical style on his track is really similar to Senna, and he is also a strategist of Cosel."
Williams said to Prost next to him, in fact, they had a relationship between the boss and the driver.
Because of the battle with Senna, Prost resolutely chose to leave McLaren and go to Ferrari due to the battle with Senna, facing the McLaren team, and resolutely chose to leave McLaren and go to Ferrari. After running for two years, Prost entered a short vacation for a year.
Just when everyone thought Prost would withdraw from the racing world, he chose to return with Williams, and beat Senna this year, winning his fourth world championship title, proving that he is the strongest F1 driver.
And at this peak, Prost retired and officially retired, followed by Senna's accident in 1994.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the two most interesting drivers in F1 racing fought, and since then, they ended and also represented the end of an era.
"Yes, he and Senna are of the same kind."
Prost replied with a lot of thought. Zhang Yifei's performance on the track just now for a moment made him feel that he saw the shadow of Senna.
The same radical, the same desperate adventure for the championship.
"Flying has great potential. In my opinion, his future achievements may not be less than Kimi Raikkonen. To be honest, I regret it now and did not sign Flying with Williams."
Hearing this, Prost just smiled and replied, "Sir Williams, Fei is the most ambitious new driver I have ever met. He has only one goal, which is to become a formal driver of the F1 team. You can't give him this bargaining chip, so there is nothing to regret."
Prost understood that Williams was just talking about it. You should know that Williams team won two team championships in the past two years and was in a brilliant stage. It is impossible for a new driver to become a formal driver.
"Indeed, this Chinese boy has great ambitions."
Ghosn, who was standing by, also sighed, in fact, he was the one who had the most chance to sign Zhang Yifei.
At that time, Zhang Yifei had already begun to consider and hesitate. If the invitation to develop drivers at that time was not given to him, even if it was just a test driver, Zhang Yifei might have been a member of Renault's team at this time.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, and Zhang Yifei's current results cannot reach the level of regret that Ghosn regrets. After all, the F1 arena is the track that truly considers the strength of the drivers, and the Renault Formula is just the starting point.
After saying this, Ghosn stood up and said, "The award ceremony is about to begin. Prost, are you interested in giving Zhang Yifei the championship trophy himself?"
Although Ghosn did not sign Zhang Yifei, any Formula Renault racer signed by the F1 team is a win-win situation for the Renault series.
So Ghosn invited Prost to present the award himself. Now that so many reporters are present, this will definitely become tomorrow's headlines. Maximizing the benefits is in line with the businessman's behavioral logic.
"Of course I'm interested, so let's go down."
Pros nodded and stood up. Just like Ghosn thought, he also needed enough media exposure to attract potential investors and sponsors.
What outsiders don't know is that the current financial situation of Prost team is extremely bad. If it cannot be alleviated, they will not have the strength to participate in the next F1 season.
Chapter completed!
