Zhang Yifei warned Ah Hu, he could understand Ah Hu's state of mind very well, because he had shrunk and confused when he was a teenager.

But Zhang Yifei believes in one concept, that is, fear is equivalent to losing!

No matter what situation you face, you cannot make yourself afraid. The final result of this will be to be defeated by a more psychologically strong opponent.

Ah Hu made no mistakes today, but if he continues this trembling mentality, there will be problems one day. So Zhang Yifei hopes to remind Ah Hu that even the reckless character in the past is many times better than a coward!

"Brother Fei, I understand!"

Ah Hu nodded after hearing this, and he actually felt a problem with his mentality.

No matter what, I can’t throw the face of a Chinese technician in front of foreigners!

"It's good to understand. Brother, I'm still here, it's not time for you to carry it."

Chen Zhi put his hand on Ah Hu's shoulder and patted him hard. He has been charging forward since he was a child, and he led Zhang Yifei and Ah Hu to fight everywhere. As long as he had not fallen down, it would be impossible for the two sluts to suffer a loss.

Of course, nowadays, I no longer need my elder brother to carry it.

Back at the headquarters building, Zhang Yifei still trained at his own pace. As for Kossel and Ukyo Yamamoto, he analyzed the practice video and found out the details that were difficult to find on the track.

They even called Charlie over and studied Zhang Yifei's habit of entering the station with him, and how to cooperate with the drivers to increase the efficiency to the highest level.

In the next few days, Zhang Yifei did not go on the track, but drove a racing simulator to train in the headquarters building.

In fact, simulator driving is the normal training for F1 drivers. After all, the cost of going to the track is too huge. In the two hours of Zhang Yifei running, even if it is not considered labor costs, the losses of various oil and parts will exceed 50,000 US dollars.

However, it is actually quite good to be able to spend money on the track. Later, the FIA ​​directly banned F1 drivers from private training on the track. There is no way to spend money and can only wait for the unified winter test.

Because with the advancement of technology, the gap between the F1 teams has been continuously widened.

The technology and driver strength of private small teams are no match for the rich teams at all. Even the three giants of this era, Williams and McLaren, have lost the competitiveness of the championship team after more than ten years.

Williams' worst 2018 season has even become the bottom of the world, which is simply unimaginable in the 1990s.

Moreover, the entire F1 situation has changed from a competition for power to the dominant one. For example, in the 2014-2019 season, it is no exaggeration to say that it is already the Mercedes-Benz dynasty, with an average winning rate of 75.9%!

The terrifying winning rate of nearly 80% is really in line with an old Chinese saying, then the F1 world champion is one stone, I, Mercedes, Benz, can only play with the rest of you.

The consequence of any competition dominant is that other opponents cannot continue playing and slowly declines. Therefore, later generations of FIA tried every means to limit the gap between strength and weakness, and the first thing to bear is private training in the track.

After all, big teams have money to run casually, and when they are in high spirits, they can fly around the world and familiarize themselves with the track. Small teams who are poor have to rely on drivers to support their lives. How can they have so much money to burn?

Therefore, we can only use this method of restricting private training to maintain the relative balance as much as possible to keep the F1 event running.

Zhang Yifei was training hard, and the other drivers in the team were not idle either. In addition to driving the simulator, Emil also took advantage of the opportunity of test drive the prototype car to continue to practice on the track.

Emil's heart is full of desire for victory. After all, becoming an F1 driver is the ultimate dream of every Formula driver. Now victory is right in front of him. As long as he defeats Zhang Yifei, he can become the official driver of Prost team.

On the other hand, the veteran Alessi has been very motivated during this period and has no longer had the same mentality as before.

Even for his own face, Alessi could not accept it. He became a wingman for a new rookie. If this news is made public on the track next year, he may "lose his health in the evening."

After all, in the history of F1, there are countless new drivers who can be called genius, but almost no newbie can become the team's number one driver in its first season.

Alaixi is a veteran who has been fighting in the F1 paddock for more than ten years, so he doesn't want to set this precedent.

So a strange scene appeared. Even the Prost team, which was paddling in the official F1 competition, was far less important than the winter training period of the competition, but every driver worked hard to improve.

Seeing this scene, Prost didn't know what to say. His initial idea of ​​competing with No. 1 driver was nothing more than giving Alessi a little pressure and giving him a sense of crisis, so that he could focus better on the race, rather than the previous state of being mediocre.

As a result, it may not be as simple as a little pressure. The entire team is trapped in a crazy competitive atmosphere. Prost doesn’t know what kind of results this situation will eventually bring, but as Kossel said before, he has experienced the worst situation and cannot be worse than the end of zero points!

At the same time, Prost was a little grateful to Zhang Yifei in his heart. Without such radical and passionate new drivers joining, the current Prost team may still be the lifeless atmosphere before.

It was Zhang Yifei's arrival that broke the looseness and slackness of the Prost team, making the drivers full of competition and fighting spirit, and the entire team was also rejuvenated.

If Prost signed Zhang Yifei before, he was just a dead man, then now he has changed his mind and believes that Zhang Yifei can really lead the Prost team out of the haze of failure!

...

Twenty days will soon pass, and time is coming to late December, and Christmas in the West will soon be coming, and New Year's Day will follow.

Just like the Chinese Spring Festival, this time point in the West is also the time for them to reunite on holidays. Various TV series and sports events will be suspended for a period of time, so this period is also called the winter break.

The beginning of the winter break period represents the end of the winter training of the F1 team, and naturally it is time for the team to compete.

In the past twenty days of winter training, Zhang Yifei has been on the track twice. The fastest time to enter the station to change tires has been compressed to 3.1 seconds!

This is not a very amazing time, but Zhang Yifei tied the average level of the Prost team's drivers in less than a month. It is definitely a rare and valuable for a new driver!

It can also be expected that with the rapid increase in the number of visits to the station in the future, Zhang Yifei and the technician team will cooperate more tacitly, and the time will be further reduced.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's progress, even chief technician Charlie felt a sense of surprise and admiration in his heart.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Yifei is the hardest and most diligent new driver he has ever met. Whether it is hard training in the team building or striving for excellence on the track, Zhang Yifei is impeccable.

Moreover, Zhang Yifei not only reduced the time he used to enter the station, but his lap speed at Monrey Raceway is also a leaps and bounds!

After the last track practice, Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed was already 3 minutes 01 seconds 87!

You should know that the fastest lap speed before the test driver Emile was only 3 minutes 03 seconds 61. Zhang Yifei threw away his fastest lap for nearly 2 seconds!

The 2-second gap in the fastest lap on the track basically means that both sides are no longer on the same level. Now Charlie finally understands why Zhang Yifei chose to make this seemingly disadvantaged bet with Emile.

It is indeed as Zhang Yifei said, if he can get the emir, there is no possibility of losing!

Moreover, this lap speed surpassed the 3 minutes 02 seconds 11 of French veteran Alessi, which is what really shocks people.

Although Alaisi is at the end of his career, his indicators are not as good as his peak moments. However, an old driver who has been fighting in the F1 paddock for more than ten years was surpassed by a pure newcomer who has never even driven a f3000 race car. If he says it, few people probably believe it.

But the data will not lie, and Zhang Yifei ran into 3 minutes and 2 seconds more than once, which proves that his fastest lap was not accidental.

Charlie has been a F1 technician career since joining the Ligier team, so far, for about fifteen years, but he has never seen a magical new driver like Zhang Yifei. So Charlie is even more looking forward to what will happen in the team next!

In the Monlirey Track maintenance station, Zhang Yifei, Alessi and Emile, all dressed in full set of equipment and stood in front of Prost.

"The team race is about to begin. According to your previous bet, the winner will become the No. 1 driver and the last one will be relegated to the test driver. Do you have any questions about this bet?"

"No."

The three of them replied in unison, they had been preparing for nearly a month, just waiting for this moment and using their strength to prove their status!

"Okay, just follow the simplest solo method, three racing cars start side by side, and the fastest run of five laps wins."

Due to the number of players in the team, it is impossible for three players to follow the F1 mode, such as knockout matches, qualifying matches, etc. Therefore, the simple solo mode is more suitable for the current team match requirements.

The three of them also had no objection to the solo mode. In fact, this was the default rule, but Prost emphasized it once.

"Since it's OK, just get on the car and get ready to start."

There was no nonsense, and the three of them sat in the js51 racing car with a cold expression. And this time there was no warm bead, because the maintenance team had long used warm tire blankets to heat the tires to the appropriate tire temperature.

In the departure area, three groups of technicians ignited the car at the same time. The sound of the engine bursting sounded instantly, impacting the eardrums of everyone present.

At this moment, Kossel held his hands in front of his chest, stood beside the track and looked at Zhang Yifei calmly, without giving any track instructions, just like the Renault event.

Even Yamamoto Ukyo, who has always been conservative and serious, stood beside Cosell, instead of standing next to the racing car.
