497 Positive Accusation (Chapter 2)
After saying hello to each other, Zhang Yifei came to the team lounge. After all, today is the main race time and the race will start in the afternoon soon. You should not affect the normal operation of the team.
In the lounge, Alessi and Burdes were both sitting inside at this moment. They didn't know the news that Zhang Yifei was back, so they were surprised to see Zhang Yifei suddenly pushing the door open and coming in.
However, soon Aries smiled on the corner of his mouth, just like the old saying before, if two formal drivers want to live in harmony in the team, they must not be evenly matched. When there is no competition, the smell of gunpowder will be much weaker.
Zhang Yifei used his strength to convince French veteran Alessi. He no longer had the idea of trying to defeat the newcomer. Moreover, he was about the age of retirement, and it was meaningless to take care of the gains and losses of fame and fortune with a newcomer.
It is better to support newcomers in this final stage, improve the team's performance, and also gain a good reputation for yourself. This is a win-win situation.
After all, Alessi's last reputation in history is not very good. Her professional performance is average. At the end of the day, there was a scandal of fighting with the Hydefield Lounge, which was infamous for suppressing newcomers.
The other driver, Burdes, had a slightly awkward expression.
His current identity is considered Zhang Yifei's substitute, and this is a good time to make a comeback. You should know that many third drivers are still running the F3000 event and have no chance to show their faces in F1 at all.
If we can seize this opportunity, not to mention replacing Zhang Yifei, at least next season's transfer period, it is very likely that we will become an official driver.
However, Burdes did not perform well in the last main game, and the practice and qualifying matches of Imora Circuit were still at the bottom. Especially after comparing Zhang Yifei's results, Burdes even felt inferior.
So now when he sees Zhang Yifei, he doesn’t know what kind of identity he should get along with.
Looking at the embarrassment on Burdes's face, Zhang Yifei enthusiastically took the initiative to greet him, resolving the embarrassment of meeting. Because he had been a substitute in his previous life, he knew what it would be like to be a "water dispenser guardian" on the court.
He would not look down on Boldes because of his strength. As long as the other party did not provoke him like the previous test driver Emile, Zhang Yifei has always been an easy person to get along with.
After sitting down in the lounge, Zhang Yifei and Alaisi and the others watched the video of the previous qualifying match.
Zhang Yifei is not familiar with the layout and routes of the Imora track, because he has never run. And now he doesn't need to play, and he doesn't have time to prepare for the pre-race familiarity with the track.
However, this is limited to the layout and route of the track. Zhang Yifei is very familiar with the history of the Imora Track. The reason is that the famous F1 car god Senna died when he crashed on the Imora Track.
The F1 accident that shocked the world in 1994 made the Imora track famous all over the world, and also brought a lot of sadness.
In the video, Alessi's performance is as steady as ever, without any big highlights or fatal flaws. This is the current situation of drivers at the end of their career. They can hold their lower limit performance, but they rarely run into the upper limit performance of the shocking reversal.
As we grow older, we eventually run slower and slower. When one day we are completely uncompetitive, the moment of retirement will come.
If it weren't for Zhang Yifei's sudden appearance, Alessi wouldn't be able to perform stably now, and the gangsters would be waiting to retire.
As for Berdyce's route, it can be described as a mess. It is obvious that his unfamiliarity and fear are like an ordinary person suddenly entering a completely unfamiliar environment.
However, ordinary people can understand the unfamiliarity and fear they show when facing unfamiliar environments, but F1 drivers are not qualified to be understood.
Because this is the profession of an F1 driver and is a skill for food. In any competitive sports, food is not worthy of being forgiven.
After watching it for about an hour, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Henry pushed open the door of the lounge and reminded the two drivers to prepare for the field.
At the same time, Prost also walked in and said to Zhang Yifei: "Fei, are you planning to sit here and rest, or go outside to watch the battle?"
"Go outside to watch the battle."
Zhang Yifei did not choose to sit in the lounge because seriously, he didn't seem to be watching a F1 professional event as a pure audience. So he wanted to experience what it felt like to watch the game as an audience.
“Ok.”
Prosty nodded and prepared to turn around and go to the repair station. "boss."
Zhang Yifei suddenly shouted, his biggest purpose of coming back this time was to acquire shares of Prost Motor Company.
However, there were others present before, and Zhang Yifei didn't find the opportunity to speak with Prost. Now there are only two people, so he plans to talk to Prost.
"Is there something wrong?"
Prost naturally didn't expect that Zhang Yifei had the ambition to acquire shares in the fleet, and he thought Zhang Yifei had something else to do.
Facing Prost's replies, Zhang Yifei's words came to his mouth and swallowed them back.
It was the main race time, and the team's focus was on the competition. It seemed that it was a bit out of place to say that I wanted to acquire the team's shares at this time.
"It's nothing. I'll tell you after the race."
“Ok.”
Prost didn't think much, and he was more anxious to control the preparations for the maintenance station. After all, including Alessi, the qualifying results are at the bottom of the game, so you can imagine the scene of zero points being recorded.
But no matter how you think about it, not everyone is willing to accept reality calmly, especially bosses who urgently need to improve the value of the team.
Zhang Yifei followed Prost and came to the repair station. All the debugging work had been completed and the drivers were ready to go into the race car to ignite. The team strategy group basically stood in front of the circular screen, with various sensing data of the two racing cars on it. The race engineers conveyed team instructions in real time based on the changes in these data.
Zhang Yifei did not come over to disturb him, but walked out of the P-room and looked at the Imora Raceway through the fence.
The Tambrero curve in the distance was where Senna crashed, but now the curve has been straightened and no similar dangerous accidents will occur, but it also makes the track lose its original charm.
Facing danger is also a part of the F1 event, and it is still a very exciting and important part!
At the same time, the track stands have become a red ocean. The Imora Circuit is named San Marino, Italy. But in fact, this is to avoid the restriction of not holding two races in the same country within a year. After all, Italy already has a Monza track.
Italy is Ferrari's home court. Not to mention that the Ferrari team's dynasty is now emerging, even if it seems a little declining in later generations, the "Red Legion" is still the strongest fan group!
In addition to the home factor, there is another reason to become a red ocean today. That is, Schumacher's dream of eight consecutive wins in the last Spanish Grand Prix was ended by McLaren's Cooterhard, and Schumacher was in a bad mood after the race.
The poor condition caused Schumacher to only rank fourth in the qualifying round, and his pole position was still won by the previous champion Coothard, and his condition was obviously already rising.
In order to cheer Schumacher up, there were particularly many Ferrari fans present today, making the stands completely a red ocean.
At the same time, something unexpected happened to Zhang Yifei. He walked out of the P room and went to watch the Imora track with a curious attitude. After all, this was his first time here.
Unexpectedly, the track broadcasting cameraman who was filming the driver's preparation process at the repair station found Zhang Yifei's figure and pointed the camera directly from the participating driver to him.
You should know that after Zhang Yifei withdrew from the Brazilian Grand Prix, Prost team refused interviews from various media in order to ensure Zhang Yifei's rest and personal safety issues in Brazil.
Later, Zhang Yifei went directly from Brazil to China. It was even more impossible for these foreign media to interview him. It was equivalent to disappearing directly from the public eye for a while.
So when Zhang Yifei appeared on the broadcasting screen, there was a commotion directly on the scene, especially the media reporting on the events, rushed towards the Prost team repair station, hoping to interview Zhang Yifei as soon as possible.
Seeing a large number of reporters running towards him with "long spears and short cannons", Zhang Yifei was a little confused. He had forgotten that he had "disappeared" for a while. Many media reporters were waiting for his views on the crash of the Brazilian Grand Prix.
But it’s no point in going back at this time. I still have to face media interviews after all.
In just one or two minutes, Zhang Yifei was surrounded by reporters, and even the track broadcasting pointed the camera at him, as if he had become a press conference for him, the "viewer".
"Fei, what do you think of the crash in the Brazil Grand Prix? What are the injuries now?"
"Mr. Zhang Yifei, Montoya knocked you out of the track in the last lap. What do you want to say?"
"Schumacher highly praised your performance in the Brazilian Grand Prix after the game. Do you think this is a successful challenge for Schumacher?"
"Driver Fly, Prost announced several big moves a few days ago. Will this affect your signing next year?"
Various reporters asked questions, and the microphone was about to hit Zhang Yifei's mouth. They were all waiting for Zhang Yifei to express their opinions.
Faced with such a crazy scene and continuous problems, Zhang Yifei didn't know where to start.
He could only wave his hand and replied: "Dear journalists, I'll ask one question one by one. First, I'll talk about my injuries."
"My personal injury is not serious, it's just an ordinary bone crack. However, it takes a period of time to recover, so I will not be able to participate in the near future competitions."
