Hearing Cosel's serious tone, Prost was not very serious, but instead he asked with a smile on his face.

"No wonder the Chinese boy has achieved what he has today. Your standards for him are really strict."

Faced with this casual teasing, Cosell said in a disdainful tone: "Prost, you were also a champion driver. If you don't even have this standard, then why are you running f?"

f is the event that dozens of the strongest drivers in the world participated in. Since they have become one of the strongest, why not remove one of the ones behind and become the strongest one?

If you want to become the strongest driver, you naturally have to follow the strictest standards. Prost has won four driver championships, and it is impossible not to understand this principle.

Hearing Cosel's words, Prost replied with a wry smile on his face: "Cosel, sometimes I really envy you. At this age, I can still maintain my original passion and ideals."

"Prost team just experienced a crushing defeat in the F season, and the conflict between driver No. 1 and 2, the entire team atmosphere fell to the bottom. Moreover, I signed a Chinese driver who had never proved his strength, and many people thought he was giving up on himself. Do you think that in this atmosphere, they can still work with passion?"

"Cosell, you have to understand that the driver only needs to consider the race, while the team owner has to consider everything. It is useless to rely solely on strictness."

Prost, who was once in the past, returned to the F circle with his original dream and wanted to create a "Big France" fleet.

But reality gave him a "beating", and the team's performance was getting worse every year.

If he can still accept the poor performance, then Renault's stabbing and Peugeot's blame this year can be said to have really hit Prost's dream of pure French team.

Because people always do this and like to judge others by themselves. Prost believes that he is devoted to French motorsports, so Renault, Peugeot and others, who are also French companies, should stand on the same front.

The reality was not as naive as he thought. Renault did not support the so-called pure French team at all. He would rather acquire the unrelated Benetton team than win the French team.

Even Peugeot saw that the performance of the Prost team might affect its car sales, so he hurriedly expressed his dissatisfaction and turned the blame, saying that the team's strength had dragged down its engine.

After experiencing these, Prost's original passion subsided a lot, and naturally relaxed the standards for the management of the fleet.

"So you think about it after a lap, and this is the current situation of the team?"

"Prost, you have been careful all your life and you should understand that many things will not be under your plan and control. Since you have chosen to sign a contract to fly as a breakthrough point, you should show your determination to change."

"Cosell, I've always been curious. You really are so optimistic about Chinese driver Fei, and I think he can bring changes to the team?"

Prost asked back at this time, because at least he had to have confidence as support for change, signing Zhang Yifei was just his helpless choice, and it was not that Prost really thought Zhang Yifei could become a F champion.

"I don't know how much change it can bring, but I can at least be sure that no matter how bad it is, it is impossible for me to rot without a single point."

Cosel's words gave Prost a blow. Yes, now the team is at the bottom of zero points. Can you still lose points if you have a bad result?

At this time, Prost pressed the call button on the headset, but the voice channel did not talk to Zhang Yifei, but started a call with chief technician Charlie.

"Charlie, do you know the time when you entered the station and changed your tires just now?"

"I know, 3.9 seconds."

Charlie replied in a slightly apologetic tone. As the team's chief technician, he naturally understood what this time represents.

"Notify the technician team that the next time you simulate the station training, the time must be within 3.5 seconds. Even the newcomers in the flying and maintenance team have no problems. Are your efficiency worse than those in the newcomers?"

Listening to Prost's long-lost reprimand, Charlie felt ashamed and a little delighted.

Because in the second half of this year's F-season, facing the situation where drivers withdrew from the race almost every game, he was basically in the stage of "giving up treatment".

Even if you can't finish the race, what's the point of pursuing the entry time of a few seconds?

Over time, the entire convoy relaxed, which is why Zhang Yifei made no obvious mistakes when entering the station just now. At most, there were some minor flaws in his proficiency, but it was 0.2 seconds slower than the average entry time of the convoy.

Now Prost has finally paid attention to fleet management again. Even if it is strict, it is a good thing for team members.

After all, if this situation continues to be broken and waiting for the result of Prost team, it will either go bankrupt or be acquired. If it goes bankrupt, then all team members will face unemployment, which is definitely not the scene Charlie is willing to see.

"Everything is serious. Even the two Chinese newcomers are moving faster than you, don't you feel a little ashamed?"

Most of the maintenance teams were the elderly who were ligier back then. Charlie had been with them for many years, so he didn't talk in any twists and did not hesitate to express his dissatisfaction.

Maybe I haven't seen Charlie angry for a long time. The repair team, who was a little hilarious, instantly became serious.

"Take out your professional spirit and remember that the F maintenance team is the most professional event maintenance team in the world. The next time you enter the station and get a tire change training, it cannot exceed 3.5 seconds!"

"OK!"

"no problem."

“We can do it.”

Responses sounded one after another, and for the maintenance team, they also had their own pride.

After all, when several newcomers made no mistakes, the 3.9-second pit stop was simply a humiliation!

After Zhang Yifei ran two laps on the track, he received Cosell's instructions to go to the repair station to change the tire in the next lap.

Zhang Yifei was not surprised by this instruction. His main training goal today was to practice training to join the station. You should know that the length of the Monrerey track is twice that of the general F track, and two laps are equivalent to four laps.

The frequency of entering the station is quite low. If you want high-intensity training, you must increase the number of entry times. As for the length of the Monrerey Track, you must at least enter the station once.

After all, the extreme cooperation of the F team is not born with tacit understanding, but is practiced through the close cooperation of drivers and maintenance teams again and again. Take the McLaren team of the Big Three as an example. They have to practice at least more than 300 times in a F season.

Zhang Yifei's current practice times can be said to be far from enough. And you should know that in the official competition, entering the station is not only a planned thing, but also an unexpected accident may also occur, which will lead to an increase in the entrance.

In this case, it will test the cooperation between the driver and the technician team, and whether they can deal with sudden accidents without any preparation.

The second time I entered the station, it may be because of experience or the technician team was stimulated. Everyone's hands moved a lot, and the exit speed was significantly improved.

When Cosell looked at the entry point again, it increased significantly from the previous 3.9 to 3.4 seconds.

However, this time is still not excellent, and even the average time of the Prost team cannot reach the level of the average time. So without any hesitation, Kossel issued an order to let Zhang Yifei enter the station, and the technician team was also ready to enter the tense atmosphere at the event level.

After all, the entry time is reduced, and there is no shortcut to take. It is purely through repeated training and training, and the steps of entering the station can be practiced to react like your instinctively, so that you can achieve a limit breakthrough.

3.4 seconds, 3.3 seconds, 3.2 seconds!

Zhang Yifei couldn't remember how many times he had entered the station, and even the time came from morning to noon.

Long-term racing driving, even without the tension and limits of formal competitions, still put a lot of burden on Zhang Yifei's body. This is not the previous Renault formula. Faster speed means the heavy pressure of the g value, and sweat has soaked his inner fireproof suit.

Not only Zhang Yifei, but also the technician team felt a little tired at this time. After all, two hours of standing, and every three minutes, they had to mechanically replace the tires, so it was impossible not to be tired.

However, compared to Zhang Yifei, they still have to be much more relaxed. It is precisely because they understand the pressure Zhang Yifei has been under that no one in the maintenance team said the word "work hard". On the contrary, they have a secret admiration in their hearts.

Even Chinese newcomers can stick to this high-intensity exercise. They are considered "old people". Why do you have the nerve to say that they are hard work?

But in the repair station, Yamamoto Ukyo couldn't bear it and spoke up to remind him.

"Mr. Prost, instructor, Yifeijun has completed almost forty entry practices, and ten times before, his entry time was stuck in 3.2 seconds and he did not improve again."

"I think today's training has reached a bottleneck. I can consider ending it temporarily and give the drivers and the technician team a rest and adjustment time."

Yamamoto Ukyo's suggestion is very pertinent. If you continue practicing in this case, it is basically impossible to improve if the drivers and the technician team are tired.

And today's training time is long enough to be at the end.

But before Prost and Cosell could answer, a sour voice sounded: "Maybe this is not a bottleneck, but the ceiling of Chinese drivers is like this."

The person who said this was Emil, who had finished the js53 racing test. He was very upset in his heart.

Similarly, Alessi, who was sitting next to him, also had a faint smile on his face when he heard this. It was obvious that he agreed with Emile's remarks because he was also unhappy with his position as the No. 1 driver and was about to be challenged by a Chinese rookie.

Prost and Cosel knew very well why Emile was sore. Especially Prost, he hinted at the beginning that Emile had the opportunity to become a formal driver next season.

Prost still felt a little apologized for Emil, so he didn't say anything to stop him, just pretending that he didn't hear it.

Kossel wouldn't care about such verbal tricks. He only looked at his strength and challenged Zhang Yifei if he was not convinced. If he was stronger than him, there was no need to say these sour words.

"Cosel, let's end here today."

"Um."

Kossel nodded, but he quickly said: "Before the end, the last lap of the station is to change tires, have a complete station practice, and train the refueling event."

All Zhang Yifei's previous entry into the station were just simple tire replacements, without any refueling projects.

The middle of the journey was supposed to be a complete practice of refueling, and Prost chose to be at Zhang Yifei's rest time. So it was not the kind of refueling process in the race, and even Zhang Yifei was not in the racing car when refueling.

After all, humans are not machines. Even if they can hold on, they still need to replenish water and go to the toilet.

The reason Prost did this is because the risk of refueling in the station is far higher than changing tires in the station.

It is best not to do these risky exercises without being proficient in the entry process, which is also in line with Prost's conservative personality.

But now Cosell has proposed that he wants Zhang Yifei to undergo a complete pit stop practice at the end.
Chapter completed!
