The gate of Silverstone Raceway does not have the modern feeling of the previous Manicur Raceway, but instead reveals a kind of historical precipitation.

Because Silverstone Raceway itself was transformed from a military airport runway, many of its track facilities were built for military purposes.

Of course, after so many years, many military facilities have long been changed beyond recognition. Apart from the prototype of the gate and runway, it is difficult to find the shadow of the airport runway back then.

Today is not a public open day for the track, but there are not many tourists on the Silverstone Circuit. At least at the gate, Zhang Yifei saw many people taking photos.

The main reason is that there are too many F1 teams gathered in the UK, and there is also a famous organization in Silverstone, which is abbreviated as brd, which is translated into Chinese as the British Racing Driver Club. Many well-known F1 drivers are members of the club.

For example, the familiar Louis Hamilton, Jenson Patton, "The Lion King" Nigel Mansell, etc.

So this attracted many F1 fans and driver fans to come, hoping to visit the drivers club and witness the history of those legendary drivers. Also, come to Silverstone to try your luck, and maybe you can meet your idol drivers.

Zhang Yifei naturally had no time to visit any drivers' club. He came to his P-room as soon as possible and wanted to see what happened to Renault Racing's maintenance.

In the P room, Yamamoto Ukyo and several others were standing next to the racing car, with sweat beads on their foreheads. When they saw Zhang Yifei and his group coming, they turned around and nodded and greeted them.

"Ukyo, how about the racing maintenance?"

"The basic completion is mainly due to Ah Hu and Chen Zhi. They both learned quickly with the Toyota technical team."

Yamamoto Ukyo praised Ah Hu and Zhi Ge, because more than 90% of the racing maintenance were completed by them.

Although Yamamoto Ukyo graduated from the racing engineering program at Berlin University of Technology, his majoring direction was different. He specialized in data analysis, and this kind of mechanical maintenance was not what he was good at. This time, he came to lead the team to conduct post-match testing, which was more like a way to get on the shelves.

The same is true for this. He is good at aerodynamics and body design, and mechanical parts such as engines and gearboxes are also not within the scope of Kossel, so he can help very little.

So this post-match maintenance was basically completed independently by Ah Hu and Zhi Ge. You should know that more than two months ago, they had never even had contact with Formulas. In just this short time, they could have completed the post-match maintenance alone, which is completely worthy of this praise!

"Ahu, Brother Zhi, did a pretty job."

Zhang Yifei also praised it. It was already very good for the two of them to complete the entire Toyota technical team.

At the same time, this scene further strengthened Zhang Yifei's inner thoughts. No matter what the price he paid, he must let Ahu and Zhige enter the F1 team.

Just like if you want to enter the f1 paddock, you can compete on the same stage as the strongest drivers in this world.

As the most technological event on the earth, the crown jewel of the automobile industry, only by entering the F1 technical team can Ah Hu and Zhige learn the most professional mechanical repair in the world.

Now Ahu and Zhige have shown their amazing talents in this area, so they cannot be given up.

"Brother Fei, it's a small scene."

Ah Hu replied in a sweaty way, imitating Zhang Yifei's catchphrase, and he could feel that he was very proud in his heart.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifei gave Ah Hu a thumbs up, then looked back at Kossel and said, "Cossel, start adjusting the aerodynamic kit of the racing car now."

He specializes in the profession. In the adjustment of Formula Racing aerodynamic kit, Kossel is absolutely expert, so he has to do it.

Kossel walked to the car, glanced at Ah Hu and nodded, "The post-race maintenance was done well, but it's better to remove the basic two words next time, what I want is absolutely complete."

On the track, Ke Sai'e is as serious as ever, because he has witnessed too many track accidents, at least any minor mistakes will lead to serious consequences and even endanger the driver's life and safety.

So he would rather be a "evil" at this time than relax his standards and requirements, even if Ah Hu and Zhi Ge are just pure newcomers, today they will be independently inspecting racing for the first time.

"I see."

Ah Hu replied timidly, he was still a little afraid of this serious German old man.

"Youjing uses medium-lower aerodynamic training, paired with normal soft tires, and prepares a set of rain tires for spare."

"OK."

Yamamoto Ukyo nodded, then immediately greeted Ah Hu and Chen Zhi, and adjusted the air kit according to Kossel's instructions.

However, Zhang Yifei is a little confused. Logically speaking, the things prepared for this kind of summer are all dry tires. Even if Cosell wants to test the speed and matching of different tires like the Manicur Track, he should choose hard tires or super soft tires. What is the case with rain tires?

"Cosell, why do you need to prepare a rain tire?"

Before Cosell could answer, He Ziling helped answer, "Because the weather in the UK is changing and it is easy to see sudden rainfall, so prepare a set of rain tires for any accidents."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei suddenly remembered that when he was in school, he also talked about the characteristics of temperate oceanic climate in London, which was mild, humid and rainy all year round.

I didn't expect that I had forgotten almost now, and it seemed that I had suffered a loss from culture.

"Teacher, adjust it, and the downward pressure is moderate."

"Um."

Cosel nodded, then looked at the time on his watch, and said to Zhang Yifei, "It's almost time, I'm ready to change my racing suit and try it out."

Zhang Yifei didn't bother to go to the backstage to change the racing suit. To be honest, this is the trouble for professional drivers. There are too many equipment to prepare every time they get into the racing car.

In less than ten minutes, Zhang Yifei changed his entire equipment and walked out. He saw Cosel squatting next to the racing car, finely adjusting the rear wing of the racing car with a very delicate attitude.

This is the character of an old German man. He is not just strict with others. He is more rigorous with himself and minimizes the error.

"You already know the track information. The first section after the start of the Silverstone track was a continuous rapid turn. Remember what I said before, it was all the throttle!"

"Don't worry, I won't loosen the accelerator."

After learning the lesson last time, Zhang Yifei could be said to have engraved the data of the Silverstone track in his mind, so there is no need for Cosell to remind him.

"Very good, let me see your speed."

"You'll see it."

Zhang Yifei replied without showing any weakness, he would not make the same mistake twice!

As he got into the car, Ah Hu ignited the engine with an igniter, and Zhang Yifei drove the Renault car to the starting point of the track.

Unlike previous tracks, Silverstone has a very interesting feature, that is, its starting area is arranged on a curve, resulting in drivers who are behind the qualifying races that cannot see the signal lights of departure at all, and can only pay attention to the movements of the drivers in front of them.

Originally, there was a big gap between the drivers in front of the line and the influence of the signal lights, the disadvantages of the drivers in Silverstone who ranked behind the line will be further expanded.

It is precisely because the difficulty of counterattacks has increased that drivers compete more fiercely in qualifying. No one wants to start behind, and even the basic signal lights cannot be seen. Therefore, the fierce qualifying competition has become a feature of Silverstone.

This time, Zhang Yifei did not choose to drive aggressively in the first lap, but was honestly familiar with the track with warm feces.

Compared with other tracks, Zhang Yifei has enough time to memorize the data of the Silver Stone Track. So when every corner is tested, it constantly begins to coincide with the points in his memory, and a familiar feeling arises naturally.

In the maintenance station, facing Zhang Yifei's slow warm bead, Kossel did not directly issue instructions to speed up like the Manicur Track, but just watched silently.

On the contrary, Yamamoto Ukyo, who was next to him, couldn't help it. He asked, "Teacher, have you given up on this radical style?"

Listening to Yamamoto Ukyo's half-inquiry and half-taught tone, Cosel glared at his student, and then slowly said, "There is no pressure to fly this time, and there is no need to take risks."

"Although there is no pressure to deal with drivers like Prost, this stop will be related to the ownership of Renault's European Cup championship, so it should be a bit stressful, right?"

"What I mean by pressure is not the results, but the pressure from other drivers cannot give them too much flying. In the last stop, they not only lost the race, but also lost that victorious spirit."

When the last race reached the back, except for Dixon, who had the heart of champions, the other drivers gave up early. Even when Dixon rushed out of the track, even the competition for the second place was like a stagnant pool. These drivers seemed to accept their fate and felt that they could not run away, so they were too lazy to run.

Technology occupies a great factor on the track, but when the technology is not much different, the desire for the championship will become the key point of victory or defeat.

If a driver doesn’t even expect a championship, what kind of extreme results can you expect them to achieve and pose a threat to Zhang Yifei?

So, as long as Zhang Yifei performs normally at this stop, even Cosell, who has always been known for his strictness, feels that the result of the game is not very suspense.

If you have to say something, then this stop is more about Zhang Yifei challenging himself.

Zhang Yifei on the track didn't know the conversation between Cosel and Ukyo Yamamoto, otherwise he would have felt that the sun had come out from the west, and Cosel actually felt that there was no need to take risks. It was really rare.

It was precisely because Zhang Yifei didn't know that as soon as he crossed the starting line in the second lap, Zhang Yifei stepped on the floor oil to the bottom, and then frantically upgraded, using the speed of the full throttle to hit the first half of the Silverstone Track.

In fact, the full throttle is far from simple as imagined. High-speed cornering tests the driver's driving skills and the limit of courage.

However, under the pressure of Cosell, Zhang Yifei was almost taking the corners as daily life. The speed of Renault racing has slowed down in his eyes.
