336 All teams assembled

The collision on the track made Prost, who had a fisherman's favorable mentality in the repair station, instantly stayed in place.

He never expected that the gunpowder smelled so exaggerated in this team game. Even if Alaixi and Zhang Yifei collided, they would not give in to each other.

Prost team is now in a storm. If the team's No. 1 and 2 drivers will have any accidents in this team's internal competition that will affect next year's F1 season.

So Prost's so-called "competitive" move can really be described as "stealing chickens and losing money". The drivers are gone for competition, so what's the use of recovering the team atmosphere?

Not only was Prost worried about the interests, but the people from Zhang Yifei's team also watched the crash on the track in panic.

After all, no one would have thought that before the F1 competition officially began, Zhang Yifei would have a crash due to a fierce team match. Everyone worked hard until today, and they would soon see Zhang Yifei standing in the F1 yard. Could it be that the dream was shattered?

The person involved in the track was also full of surprise at this moment, and he did not expect that the other party would not allow him to even crash the car.

Kossell felt that even if Zhang Yifei was talented, the lack of experience among newcomers could not make up for it. Judging from the background of the information, Zhang Yifei had never experienced dangerous accidents in the track.

According to the psychological quality and instinct of newcomers, they will definitely be afraid and avoid it when facing possible collisions.

This is also the reason why Cosell did this. He felt that he would be the newcomer Zhang Yifei, as long as there was no accident in the dangerous behavior, it would not be considered dangerous!

But from Zhang Yifei's perspective, my front nose has exceeded your rear wheel. Even if the snakeskin in front of the car is not forbidden to move in this era, in this case, fia orders to prohibit lane change.

Because this kind of lane change defense itself is very dangerous, and it can even be said that there is no space for lane change.

If that's the case, why should I slow down and get the car? More importantly, this game determines who will become a wingman? Zhang Yifei doesn't want to be Alaixi's wingman!

Zhang Yifei's racing car shook violently due to the collision, and then half of the front nose wings broke and fell off, and the carbon fiber body on the left was also covered with cracks.

Fortunately, the frame of the car body is very strong, otherwise, the impact caused by more than 100 kilometers per hour, even if it is just a side contact collision, the body structure generally cannot withstand it. If it were a civilian car, the entire door might be knocked away.

But fortunately, the falling front nose wing of the racing car did not get stuck into Zhang Yifei's tires. You should know that this kind of accident occurred in F1 history. The falling front nose wing was directly shoveled into the chassis, causing the driver to overturn and die!

However, Zhang Yifei was not panicked, and finally stabilized his shaking body, drove the JS51 car with half of his front nose, and rushed out of this turn and headed towards the final finishing line.

Compared with Zhang Yifei, Alaixi's impact was even more serious, and the entire rear wing was knocked off. And the right rear tire hit Zhang Yifei's frame, and the huge impact force directly caused the tire to burst.

With the impact power and tire blowout factors, Alaisi's racing car completely lost control in such a moment and directly rotated and drifted in the corner.

If it were an ordinary newcomer, he might be stunned when facing this situation, but Alaixi's driving skills may not be considered a peak. However, more than ten years of track experience are here. Whether it is the accidents he has experienced or the track accidents he has seen, he has rich experience in saving.

So at this time, Alaisi controlled the steering wheel tightly to prevent the racing car from turning to the wasteland outside the shoulder.

You should know that in general car accidents, it is not scary to have rotation and drift. The real danger is rolling.

Once a rolling accident occurs, the huge impact force cannot guarantee the safety of the driver even if it is the F1 frame. Moreover, there is no complete Hans protection system in this era. The neck whipping force brought by rolling can really be directly twisted!

After three consecutive rotations, F1's powerful tire grip finally began to recover, and Alessi regained control of the car.

Although Zhang Yifei rushed to the finish line, Alessi did not intend to give up. After all, Emile was chasing behind him. Losing to a new driver would be a great humiliation. If even the team test driver lost, he would be shameless to be the official driver of Prost!

So Alessi stared at the tire on the right rear wheel and drove towards the finish line without the rear wing of the car.

Originally, Prost at the repair station had already pressed the red call button on the headphones, but when he saw Alessi who had not given up, he stopped his hand.

Because of this scene, even on the F1 track, I didn’t see Alaisi fighting so hard. Not to mention that the car had a broken tire and a little malfunction and it was difficult to drive, Alaisi chose to withdraw directly.

No matter what the reason is, Alessi's move is the persistence that an F1 driver should have!

The tire without a wire ring cannot withstand the wear caused by hard opening after a tire burst. In just a few seconds, Alaisi's right rear tire was torn into pieces, leaving only a magnesium-aluminum alloy wheel hub hanging on it.

Even because of friction with the ground, you can see the tires sparking all the way. It was just that the finish line of the track was just ahead of dozens of meters away, so no one stopped Alaisi's behavior.

Alessi doesn't want to lose to the two young men in the team, but many things won't happen if he doesn't want to. Emil is just a few seconds behind. If it is placed on the standard track, Emil doesn't even fall behind in 05 on average.

You should know that today, both Alessi and Zhang Yifei can be considered as the highest level of performance. Emil, who is just a test driver, faces this kind of showdown that goes all out, is really a very good speed.

So at the last few dozen meters from the finish line, Emil caught up with Alessi and crossed the finish line in the second place.

More than a second later, Alaisi drove a JS51 car with the wheels polished red, and the last one crossed the finish line.

This result can be said to be something that no one expected. According to the pre-race strength calculation, if nothing unexpected happens, Alessi will laugh to the end. Even if something unexpected happens, he will only be second place and it is impossible for the test driver to surpass him.

After all, in previous track training, Alessi's average lap speed was more than 1 second ahead of Emil. This gap can be said that the two people are not on the same level. So Alessi doesn't say anything about perfect press conferences, as long as she is stable and does not make mistakes, Emil will not be able to win.

The accident that happened was even more serious than the mistake, and it almost ended up with two drivers who were destroyed by the car. It was a blessing in disguise to finally complete the race.

After Alessi crossed the finish line, the maintenance team rushed over immediately, surrounded several cars, and began to evaluate the damaged parts.

Seeing that the driver was fine, Prost's heart fell down, but soon he felt a deep pain.

This collision on the track, without mentioning any hidden dangers, you can see damage to the wheel hub, pneumatic kit, carbon fiber body, suspension, etc., and it will cost at least one million US dollars to repair it.

This is a few of the current Prost fleet finances.

But there is also good news, that is, the winter training period is over, and the final winter test will be followed. This batch of JS51 racing cars will be eliminated and replaced with the updated JS5 model racing cars to prepare for the new year's F1 season soon.

Prost thought in his mind that if he didn't repair it, would he save a lot of money?

"Alessi, you are an old driver. Do you even know the rules of the Fia race? Can you change lanes when the front nose wing of the rear car passes over the rear wheels of the front car?"

Kossel's angry voice sounded. He didn't care about the damage to the racing car, but Alessi's actions just now would threaten the lives of the two drivers.

Especially Zhang Yifei, Kossel chose to go out to watch him compete in the f1 paddock. If there is an accident in this kind of team game, it will be a failure!

Alessi naturally understood this truth. As a veteran, he had such a shameful failure and was not worthy of finding any interface.

So he looked at Zhang Yifei and said, "I'm sorry, I lost."

Although Zhang Yifei was also angry at Alessi's dangerous driving, he couldn't say anything when he looked at the veteran who bowed his head and admitted his mistake in front of him. Choosing to become a professional driver is all things that must be faced.

However, this dissatisfaction could not have disappeared so quickly, so he ignored Alessi and looked at Emil.

"You lose, you can prepare to leave Prost."

Zhang Yifei's tone was very cold. When Emil chose to mock him and Ahu, the convoy was destined to have only one left.

The other party can despise the newcomer and the rookie, and these are all fine. Zhang Yifei doesn’t think he is a car god and must be admired by everyone.

But he absolutely could not tolerate it and became teammates with someone who showed contempt for Chinese technicians and drivers everywhere. Since the other party agreed to the bet, now is the time to accept the loss.

"you……!"

Emil looked at Zhang Yifei, feeling angry and unwilling, but the current situation was no longer his turn to not accept it.

This is not a private bet between the two. Even the team boss Prost has confirmed that there is no possibility of remorse.

In fact, Emil also wanted to say that he had beaten Alessi and he would leave if he wanted to leave. But thinking about it, Alessi didn't have any bets with him. Zhang Yifei had already spoken, so he had no choice.

"Okay, wait for me, and one day I will beat you on the f1 track!"

"Sorry, it seems that I can't wait for this day, and you will never win me!"

Zhang Yifei replied unwillingly, not even giving Emil a chance to speak harshly.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's counterattack and the cold-eyed observation of the people around him, Emil knew that he would continue to talk, which would only make people laugh at him.

So he glanced at Zhang Yifei hatefully, then turned around and left the track.

"Ok, the competition has ended now, and the winter training period has ended today. Then I chose to fly and become the No. 1 driver of the Prost team in the 2000 season!"

Prost stood up at the right time and announced the appointment decision of driver No. 1, and soon cheers sounded around him.

This is not only a celebration by Zhang Yifei's team, but also by the technician team of Prost team, all of them have issued warm celebrations.

Because most of them were once the maintenance technicians of the Ligier team, they witnessed the decline of a F1 team and did not want to see the Prost team and embark on the old path of the Ligier team.

If there is hope, who doesn’t want to become a champion team and is willing to just live a life of silence?

Zhang Yifei's performance just now made them see hope. This is not the dull Alaisi, but the future f1 paddock, a rising star!

The end of the team race also represents the end of the team's winter training period. Next is the traditional Western Christmas. Prost team will also have a New Year holiday. All work will be stopped, waiting for the last winter test next year.

F1 winter test is different from the team's own training. This is an 8-day training time formulated by Fia to replace the team's own private training.

This year, new regulations have been issued that only one car can be allowed to undergo an eight-day winter test, with the goal of narrowing the gap between private fleets and large fleets of manufacturers.

You should know that the top teams with wealthy cars can test five cars at the same time on three different tracks every week to verify the car's operating conditions in different climates, terrain and temperatures.

Take Prost team as an example. It is already at the limit to be able to test its new racing car at Monrey Raceway. How can it be tested globally?

Therefore, the winter test mode of fia and the limit on the number of racing cars have been welcomed by small teams and can better balance the gap between teams.

The small team welcomes the winter test, and Zhang Yifei is also looking forward to the arrival of the winter test.

The reason he was looking forward to was not the team balance, but the Fia winter test will gather all the current F1 teams. In this way, Zhang Yifei can see the famous drivers of later generations with his own eyes.

For example, "Iceman" Kimi Raikkonen, the most famous "green leaf" Rubens Barrichello, the legendary Finnish driver Mika Hakkinen, and Fernando Alonso, who also experienced his F1 debut this year, etc.

Of course, there is also the car god Michael Schumacher who founded the Ferrari Dynasty, won the seven-seater driver championship, and was admired by the world!

These names represent the mark of the F1 era, which is well-known for Zhang Yifei. Now he finally has the opportunity to witness so many F1 historical celebrities, and even compete with them on the same stage!

However, this has to be done until the end of the New Year, and Zhang Yifei passed the Spring Festival, so he stayed at the team headquarters during the winter break and continued his simulator training.

This time, the track he simulated was no longer Montrerey, but the track he would go through next year's F1 season. The first thing he was to bear is Australia's Albert Park Circuit, which will be the first place for next year's F1 season!
