Zhang Yifei did not retreat, he still insisted on his attitude because this was Zhang Yifei's dream.

Although this dream is now expressed as the object of ridicule by everyone, the dream of not being ridiculed has no real value!

Prost and Zhang Yifei looked at each other. To be honest, he felt that he underestimated this Chinese boy in his heart, and treated him as an ordinary young driver, thinking that he could have absolute control.

But now it seems that this Chinese boy is not just arrogant on the surface, but has firm thoughts in his heart.

"Young people, it is a good thing to have ambition, but ambition requires strength to support you. Do you really think you have this strength?"

"Mr. Prost, if you have this strength, you need to go to the track to know."

"But one thing that can be confirmed now is that since I have become a driver of the Prost team, I will naturally consider the interests of the Prost team, so you don't have to worry about this."

Prost is no longer the driver who fought for the championship on the track back then. He is the boss of the team and a businessman!

Zhang Yifei's dream is worthless in the eyes of businessmen, and they only value benefits.

For the same thing, Prost's first reaction was to consider whether it would have a negative impact on the team. If it were Cossel, he would not only feel that it doesn't matter, but would also praise Zhang Yifei's ambitions and defeating Kimi Raikkonen is a must-do!

Because if you can't defeat Kimi Raikkonen, then Zhang Yifei's reputation will always be copied from Kimi's miracle, the second Kimi, not the first Zhang Yifei!

However, Zhang Yifei could also understand this point. If he stood in Prost's position, he would also put the interests of the team in the most priority.

The reason why Zhang Yifei chose to be tough was actually to let Prost see his attitude and make him realize that he is not the kind of "little guy" who can be controlled casually.

You should know that many times, except for those superstar drivers, most drivers are disadvantaged in front of the team. Especially when encountering large teams like Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz, it is not the driver's strategy to decide whether to implement the team.

Instead, once the strategy group issues instructions, it must be implemented, and there is no need to discuss it, even if it is issued, you must give up the champion who is close to you!

Zhang Yifei has never had any contact with Prost's personality, but it is certain that he is definitely not a weak person.

Back then, he was able to fight Senna against tit and did his best to win the championship. Later, because the team management supported Senna, he turned around and went to Ferrari without saying a word, wanting to prove himself with his strength.

With poor results, he offseason for one year. Faced with various doubts about "Liang Po is old" from the outside world, he decisively returned to Williams team, defeated Senna to win the title of world championship, proving that he was the world's number one and retired again.

Such a person has absolutely strong confidence and confidence. Zhang Yifei does not express his attitude now and is afraid of things and is not qualified to negotiate conditions in the future.

Hearing Zhang Yifei say that he had the same interests as the team, Prost's expression eased. He was a stubborn and had his own opinions, which was fully reflected on the track, which gave him the title of "Professor".

So he was a little unacceptable. A newcomer from the team would question Zhang Yifei after he came back.

But the concepts are different, which is very normal for F1. He and the team's strategy group and the track had many debates, let alone Zhang Yifei's "bold words" at the press conference.

As long as you can confirm that the interests of the driver and the team are consistent, these are acceptable small disadvantages.

After the press conference, Zhang Yifei returned to the hotel and saw Cosel sitting in the hotel lobby, leisurely watching while drinking coffee and reading newspapers.

Seeing Zhang Yifei coming back, he asked calmly: "How is it, are you getting along with that guy Prost?"

Kossel did not go to this press conference because of the old German character, so he didn't like to join in this kind of fun. Before, when he was in the McLaren strategy group, he was also in the behind-the-scenes team.

More importantly, although he let go of his grudges with Prost, and even followed Zhang Yifei to join Prost team. However, this does not mean that he has any old friend relationship with Prost. At most, both sides have changed from being incompatible with Prost to being tepid now.

"generally."

Zhang Yifei replied truthfully, and indeed he felt that there was also a problem with Cosell between him and Prost, that is, the infusion of style.

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Prost put down the newspaper in his hand and said in an expected tone: "It would be strange if Prost is an arrogant Chinese boy like you."

"But you don't have to worry. Prost is stubborn, conservative, and even a little too shrewd, but he is not a difficult person to get along with. Now that he is the team boss, he will have much less interference in the track, but he will just be content with him too much and just play with peace of mind."

Kossell has a hot and radical personality, but he is not a reckless man. He can join the McLaren Strategy Group and become a Ph.D. professor of racing engineering at Berlin University of Technology. How could he have no brains?

He had already guessed that with Zhang Yifei's personality, there would definitely be some friction with Prost, and there would be unhappiness with his boss, which might cause great psychological pressure on young people.

That's why he said this, so that Zhang Yifei didn't have to worry too much. Prost was not a stingy person. He wouldn't even accept his young drivers' personality style.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifei replied with a smile: "I'm not worried that if he is such a petty person, he will not reconcile with Senna, and will not become a legendary driver on the track."

The grudge between Prost and Senna can be said to have been implemented throughout the 1980s and 1990s and became the most famous event in the F1 field.

However, one or two days before Senna's death, when filming on French TF1 TV, he also expressed his respect to Prost and said that he would welcome Prost back to him, and Alan was still his friend.

The f1 championship is the highest honor for the driver. A proud person like Senna can not hold grudges and express respect and reconciliation. Naturally, it means that Prost has been respected by Senna in some aspects.

If he was so narrow-minded, he would not be able to reconcile with Senna, and the old German man, Cosel, would not succeed when he negotiated with him.

Anyway, when it comes to Zhang Yifei himself, Cosel is still stinky and looks like he is asking for someone. He thinks he can't accept it. He still wants the contract for the F1 driver? I think you are thinking about nothing.

Of course, this is because I don’t know Kossel at all. I still feel that this old German man is cool and cool when I know him.

Seeing that Zhang Yifei was not affected, Cosell changed the topic and said: "Since the press conference has ended, we can prepare to go to the next stop of the British Silverstone Circuit. The time is set tomorrow morning. If you drag it down, it will be difficult to make an appointment to test the track."

"Yeah, I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Zhang Yifei nodded. If it weren't for the delay of this press conference, Zhang Yifei would have planned to go to the Silverstone Circuit in the UK.

You should know that the UK has a very deep racing culture, whether it is the venue, pulling force, formula, or even motorcycles, all have top racing events in the UK.

For F1, the UK has created two of the three giants. In addition to Ferrari, McLaren and Williams are headquartered in the UK. It can be said that in this era, the UK is the perfect Formula World Racing Center.

Silverstone also has a very long history. It is the world's first F1 World Championship, witnessing the development history of the entire F1 and giving Silverstone a lofty historical position.

It is precisely because of these premises that the events held on Silverstone are very intensive, and coupled with various audience opening days, etc., it is basically difficult to make an appointment for enough test run time.

There are less than ten days left before the competition. If you don’t rush to make an appointment early, Zhang Yifei may not be able to run two laps on the spot before the competition.

Data is always something on paper. There is no high-end racing simulator in this era, and I have never experienced field trial runs. Even if Schumacher comes, he may have to "turn the car".

After confirming the time, Cosell stood up and prepared to return to the room. When he walked to the elevator door, he stopped and turned around and asked, "Is there any direction for your two million US dollars sponsorship?"

Sponsorship of two million US dollars is simply a small number for the F1 team. The annual investment amount of each F1 team is calculated in 100 million units.

But two million US dollars is almost an astronomical figure for a civilian driver like Zhang Yifei. All the money Zhang Yifei saw in his life may not be two million US dollars.

So Cosel asked, if Zhang Yifei really had no choice, he had to prepare in advance.

Kossel is not worried about himself, he is considering Junko Takeda and Ah Hu. After all, with Kossel's qualifications, it is okay for him to enter any team, not to mention Prost.

After contacting this time, Kossel gradually agreed with Junko Takeda and Ah Hu, because Kossel saw their seriousness, hard work and hard work.

Those who work hard may not necessarily gain anything, but those who don’t work hard are absolutely not qualified to get rewards, so Cosel wants to help.

When he was in the F1 paddock, Cosell met many business tycoons. However, because of his personality, Cosell and businessmen were not very compatible with each other and had almost no too much friendship. It was not easy to get two million US dollars in sponsorship.
