496 Convoy Dilemma (Chapter 1)

With He Ziling's sudden action and the words in her ears, Zhang Yifei was really scared!

Because compared with Sophia, He Ziling is two extremes, one belongs to the tenderness of the East, and the other belongs to the enthusiasm of the West. It can be said that since Zhang Yifei met He Ziling, he basically saw her beautiful side, just like the unattainable goddess style described by later generations.

So in Zhang Yifei's cognition, these actions are not something that He Ziling can do. Is this a change today?

"This...that..."

Zhang Yifei stammered and wanted to say what the difference was, but he didn't know how to describe it when he spoke.

However, just when Zhang Yifei was extremely embarrassed, He Ziling let go of her arm and said shyly with a hint of shyness on her face: "All the road is good, remember to recover from the wounds!"

"Um."

Zhang Yifei nodded.

However, just as He Ziling was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly shook Zhang Yifei's hand and stuffed a small thing into his palm.

"What's this?"

While Zhang Yifei said, he subconsciously raised his hand and looked at it, and found that it was a small red cloth bag.

"Ping An Talisman, I've asked you for help. I don't want to see you again next time, and I'll still look like today."

He Ziling saw Zhang Yifei’s hardships these days, and she had a brother who was a professional driver and had a clear understanding of the dangers of motorsports.

So she went to help Zhang Yifei ask for a peace talisman, which may not necessarily have any effect, but at least she can ask for peace of mind.

"Thank you, I'll bring it."

Zhang Yifei smiled at the corner of his mouth and held the small red cloth bag tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Bon Voyage."

Waving his hand, He Ziling retreated to He Lang's side.

"goodbye."

Zhang Yifei also waved at the three of them in a daze, turned around and walked into the boarding gate with Junko Takeda.

...

At the Imora Circuit in San Marino, Prost's face was not very good-looking. Recently, Prost's team has experienced changes from heaven to hell, and the situation was suddenly cold.

At the Brazil Grand Prix, Prost was still imagining that if Zhang Yifei won the championship, Prost team would jump from the previous bottom to the current midstream team of F1.

This is not only an increase in ranking, but also a surge in influence. By the end of the year, the dividends of F1 copyright advertising will be distributed, the amount of sponsors will increase, and even more large sponsors will contact the fleet, which will change the current situation of the financial crisis.

As a result, the damn Montoya crashed and ruined everything!

And this is not the point. After the race, those reporters who were afraid of the world's chaos directly provoked conflicts between the team and the engine suppliers, resulting in the termination of cooperation with Peugeot Group.

The team was extremely nervous in finance, and now it would have to spend at least an additional budget of tens of millions of dollars on purchasing the new race engine. This is no longer the last straw that broke the camel's back. Tens of millions of dollars are simply a slum to the Prost team!

Peugeot terminates cooperation, selects new engines, and sells fleet shares...

The recent past of these things has made Prost feel a little breathless. Running a team is much more difficult than simply being a driver!

The problem is not just about the team, but also about the drivers. After Zhang Yifei recovered from injury and offseason, substitute driver Burdes took over and became the second driver of the team at present, and Alessi was promoted to the first driver.

In the last stop at the Catalonia track in Spain, Alessi performed well. The veteran was still a veteran. He emerged as a mainstay when the team was in trouble and rose against the trend and entered the top six, getting another point for Prost.

But Burdes' performance was very bad. He was also a newcomer and was absolutely incomparable to Zhang Yifei.

After running for more than ten laps in the main race, he rushed out of the track and withdrew. Prost could still express his understanding at the time, after all, many newcomers were like this. But in the San Marino practice and qualifying competition, Berdes was still at the bottom. With this speed and results, it is estimated that he would be more than two laps of the champion's gloves on the track!

That's why Prost's face looks so ugly. If this trend continues, veteran Alessi is still alone. The team's achievements, which have improved, are probably going to be the end again.

The problem is that the final result cannot be sold at the price of the fleet shares. The Prost team's budget for next year will have a gap of at least 70 million US dollars. Without huge capital injection, the team may not be able to survive this cold winter.

Taking a deep breath, Prost walked from the fleet lounge to the front maintenance station. He didn't want his emotions to affect the crew members. After all, no one can be unconfidence, but as the boss, he must show enough confidence.

And then again, Burdes' strength is the normal performance of the substitute drivers of the last-street team. However, Zhang Yifei's newcomer's record was too outstanding before, which made Prost subconsciously compare Burdes with Zhang Yifei.

Sometimes people compare themselves, and they are really incomparable.

In the team's P room, everyone was busy undergoing racing maintenance to prepare for the afternoon race.

Kossel was standing next to Burdes, holding a tactical board to explain to him the team strategy and the issues to pay attention to on the track.

Kossel's mentality is not very good at this moment. He suppressed his temper and talked about tactics and lines with Berdyce. You should know that the old German man himself has a radical and irritable personality. The tactical strategy emphasizes one simple and rough, and the others depend on the drivers themselves to understand.

Because according to Cosell's guidelines, top drivers do not need others to teach him how to drive, they only need to provide him with track information. The others are decided by the driver themselves, and no one will be stronger than him!

But Burdes is completely different. He doesn't understand it by simply saying that it's simple. He's a mess in many places and can't correct it at all by himself. More importantly, Burdes can't do the extreme instructions issued by Cosell many times, and he doesn't have the courage to fight his life.

This made Cosell very upset. As a professional F1 driver, if you are afraid of death on the track, what other Formula 1 will you be able to drive?

You should know that all the drivers who can leave their names on the F1 track in history have been created by playing hard. Cosell has never encountered such a poor and weak driver before.

Indeed, Kossel can also be described as "the peak of his debut". His identity as a doctorate in aerodynamics allowed him to directly enter the McLaren team's strategy group. With Senna's death, he returned to teach in a German university. He never worked in the last strait team from beginning to end.

Of course, even if it is a newcomer, the bottom team like McLaren is always on the verge of bankruptcy. There is no chance of picking, otherwise he would not have gone to Formula Elementary to sign Zhang Yifei.

Burdes' strength is in line with the positioning of Prost team. If he is strong, he still needs to be the third driver in the bottom team?

Prost came to Cosel and interrupted his conversation with Burdes.

"Flying should be coming soon, right?"

The news that Zhang Yifei was coming back was naturally notified to the team early. Prost had never thought that a driver would be so important. Now he really missed this Chinese boy a little.

Cosel glanced at the time on his watch, nodded and replied, "It should be coming soon."

Both of them heard helplessness and expectations from each other's tone. Indeed, Zhang Yifei is the hope of Prost team now!

Almost as Cosell finished speaking, a Peugeot sedan drove into the repair channel through the safety car passage. Although the Prost team had terminated the contract with the Peugeot Group, the work car was basically still made by the Peugeot brand.

In fact, this is also related to Prost's previous stubborn thinking. If the entire fleet can use French brands, try to use French brands. I really don't consider other countries.

There is no doubt that at this time, there is only one possibility that a Peugeot car will enter the track, that is, Zhang Yifei is back.

Not only did Kossel and Prost smile on their faces, but even the members of the main racing crew rushed out of the P room to welcome Zhang Yifei.

Many members of the crew may not realize that Zhang Yifei has become the backbone and absolute main force of the team.

"Brother Fei, you are finally back. I miss you so much!"

Ah Hu roared, then spread his arms and rushed towards Zhang Yifei.

When he was at the airport, Zhang Yifei almost couldn't resist the hug of a "weak woman" like He Ziling. Now Ah Hu is lifting iron every day, and his body is as strong as a bear.

It was just a fracture now, and Zhang Yifei was really worried that he would have a fracture when he hit him!

So he quickly lifted his crutch and pressed it directly on Ahu's chest, stopping his next action.

"What kind of body shape are you now? Don't you have a b-digit in your heart?"

Originally, Ah Hu's face was full of surprise because of Zhang Yifei's movements, and after hearing this, he immediately disturbed his head with embarrassment.

"Brother Fei, I'm so excited. I forgot that you still have a leg injury."

After saying that, Ah Hu stopped thinking about the bear hug, but instead fisted Zhang Yifei.

Not only Ah Hu, but also other members of the car team, also enthusiastically expressed their welcome to Zhang Yifei.

"Welcome to return to the team."

Finally, the boss Prost came over. At this moment, he had a smile on his face and was really happy.

Zhang Yifei also greeted Prost with a smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart that if this legendary driver, who was famous for his calculating, had known that he would have long put the abacus on his team, his expression would have been even more exciting...
