614 Rover Standard

The stalemate lasted for a full minute, and finally Prost sighed and sat back on the sofa.

"Fei, I saw my stubborn shadow in you, but this time I hope your persistence is right."

Prost finally gave in. For the benefit of the team, and for his original feelings and passion, he chose to believe in Zhang Yifei.

"I'm not stubborn, but I firmly believe that Chinese engineers will eventually meet the F1 standard."

Zhang Yifei did not want Prost to retreat because it was out of sympathy or charity, because such an idea was an insult to the automobile engineers who came to France from thousands of miles away and for the development of China's automobile industry!

Their efforts were not recognized, and their efforts and professionalism were not respected.

No one knows the sadness of not being recognized and respected than Zhang Yifei. Chinese technicians are not their own vassals, and they also want to prove themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei was unwilling to attribute all Prost's compromise to himself, and in the end, they could only make Chinese engineers gain a foothold in F1!

"Yifei, thank you for your trust in Huali Engineer."

When Wang Gang saw this scene, he spoke up to express his gratitude to Zhang Yifei.

Although Huali Holdings owns 40% of the Prost fleet and claims to be the same shares, it is actually still in a weak position. After all, many things are not only business, but also politics!

If Zhang Yifei had not had the toughness of Zhang Yifei today, the Warrior Group might not be able to stop Prost's decision. Objectively speaking, Prost has his own reasons for doing this. The team is his hard work and pride. Since he is rich now, he naturally wants to use the top European engineer.

"No need to thank me, this is what we should do."

Zhang Yifei replied calmly that his goal is consistent with that of Huali Group.

The matter of Chinese technicians was temporarily solved. Zhang Yifei, Prost and Wang Gang entered the racing development center.

Now the latest generation of AAP05 racing car has been built, and it has even been sprayed with blue Prost team iconic paint. It seems that during this period, Prost has indeed been very strict in the research and development of new racing cars, and has solved the problem of incompatibility between the frame and the engine in a short period of time.

"Fly, see, this is the latest generation of A-series racing cars you will drive next year. Now that the prototype has been assembled, the test drivers will soon be allowed to conduct racing tests, striving to complete all test projects before entering the winter break."

When Prost introduced the new racing car, his tone was full of confidence and pride. It can be seen that he has great confidence and feelings for the new generation of Prost racing car.

“Boss, how is the laboratory performance?”

"Seven percent better than the active Prost racing car!"

"So strong?"

When Zhang Yifei heard about the unit of 7% of the unit, he was shocked. Don’t think that 7% is a small number. You should know that even JS53 racing cars, compared with McLaren racing, the fastest speed on the track, the theoretical performance gap is only 4%.

Seven percent is equivalent to the standard of a super Mars rover. Even if the road tests are reduced by less than the laboratory data, the racing performance of other teams has been improved a little, and the final performance of this AAP05 racing car is definitely no worse than them.

All performance gaps are now suffered and will no longer exist next year!

"It's so strong!"

"This time we not only got the strong Ferrari engine, but also got the help of Cosel and redesigned the aerodynamic shape. It can be said that compared to before, Prost racing has made a qualitative leap!"

Prost's tone became more and more excited as he spoke. The huge improvement in racing performance actually made him proud.

"How did Kossell help?"

Zhang Yifei asked back, as his chief competition engineer, Kossell accompanied the team throughout the whole process and made a transition around the world. Where can I get the time to participate in design and research and development?

"Do you know this every night, Kossel compares data with the R&D center through email?"

"After saying that Kossel is also a professor of aerodynamics at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, and has also participated in the design of the peak McLaren racing. If he is not a racing engineer, he is definitely an excellent racing designer."

Kossel compares data with the R&D center every night?

If Prost hadn't said it, Zhang Yifei wouldn't have known it.

This means that Kossel's daily workload is much greater than he imagined. Not only does he collect race data and formulate race strategies, he also participates in the design of the aerodynamic shape of the racing car every day.

You should know that the old German man is almost seventy years old, and I don’t know how he handled it.

But there is one thing that Zhang Yifei knew very well in his heart, which was why Corsell did this.

As Zhang Yifei's chief competition engineer, no one knows better than him the challenges and difficulties brought by the disadvantages of racing performance. Many times, Zhang Yifei has already tried his best, but because the racing performance is not as good as that of his opponent, he is forced to make radical and dangerous controls.

So Cosell wanted to bring Zhang Yifei a stronger racing car so that he could be on the same starting line with those opponents!

Just when Zhang Yifei felt a little confused, a scene that made him even more sad appeared. When Chinese technicians in the equipment workshop of the R&D center saw Zhang Yifei coming in, they all leaned over.

"Yifei, you performed great on the track, and we won't let you down."

"Yifei, we know what you have made, let us leave the future!"

"Come on Yifei, you make China proud, and we will make China proud in the future!"

"Yifei, we are always fighting towards the same goal!"

From the very beginning, this group of technicians who came from China knew the purpose and significance of their coming to France.

We will study the most advanced automobile manufacturing industry abroad in order to bring qualitative development to the domestic automobile industry one day in the future. Huali Group even has a code name called "Seed Plan".

So when the processing error of racing parts occurs, they are actually very guilty and guilty in the past few days. If they withdraw from the F1 R&D center, they can only establish a European R&D laboratory according to the original plan and then slowly start and grow.

At this time, it may be extended to five years, or even ten years. After all, this time, Huali Group has done the "flying the waters" thing, not only sent all the domestic R&D elites, but also mortgaged all their assets and poached engineers from many other car companies. It was simply a plan to succeed if it failed.

Everyone here is almost the elite of the Chinese automobile industry in this era. The time they waste may be the time wasted by the Chinese automobile industry.

Today's appearance of Zhang Yifei is equivalent to giving them a "peace of mind". As long as the most powerful driver in China appears, it will definitely solve the problem. After all, the seeds can germinate and grow into towering trees!

"Thank you, I'm not that great, I depend on you in the future."

Zhang Yifei smiled, his eyes a little wet.

The limit you can achieve is nothing more than standing at the peak of personal achievements. But the group of people in front of you can change the country and the future, so compared to them, they are hope.

This scene made Prost feel uncomfortable.

To be honest, Prost has always been very clear about what Zhang Yifei wanted to do when he came in. The situation of the team at that time was really considered to be the one who wanted to do.

Now this situation is equivalent to breaking the window paper directly. There are a bunch of "spy" inside the R&D of my own fleet. How can the subsequent R&D and design data be completely confidential?

However, Prost quickly thought about it. In fact, it is not scary to leak some R&D data, as long as the team can keep updating and leading.

F1 racing has never relied on confidentiality to represent the peak of the automobile industry. Instead, it relied on innovation and development of more advanced racing cars every year to determine its position as the jewel of automobile sports.

Another thing that moved Prost was the unity of the Chinese, who stick to their goals and feelings and work hard for it.

Thinking about his dream of the Lancie team, he wanted to make French racing stand at the peak of the world. When he was in trouble, Renault, a bastard "French traitor" car company, wanted to die, so he quickly acquired Benetton to refute the rumors and wiped out the last glimmer of hope of sponsorship!

The Peugeot Group behind him also left all the blame for the team's behind the racing performance at the most difficult time, and the supply of racing engines that were interrupted was simply a back-end!

None of the other French companies has reached out to help, as if the dream of the Lancie team is just their own business!

If French car companies could unite a little at that time, Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and other giants could help themselves, Prost might still be a French team of purebred blood today!

When he thought of this, Prost was very angry. After Prost's team became stronger next year, he must trample Renault's team under his feet and avenge the humiliation of the first time!

After the R&D center was settled, Zhang Yifei rested in France for a night, and the next day he took the plane to Tokyo.

You should know that it has been delayed for three days to run the Indy 500 event. Now that it has been flying around, a few more days have passed, and there is not much time left for the preparation of the Japanese Grand Prix.

In the early morning, Zhang Yifei landed at Tokyo Narita International Airport. Zhang Yifei had been in Toyota Youth Training for half a year and was quite familiar with Japan.

So he did not choose to disturb the members of the train at this point, but planned to call a taxi back to the hotel by himself. However, when he walked out of the pick-up passage, he was shocked by the crowds of people outside. When he looked carefully, these people seemed to be here to greet him.
