I went back to the hotel room and took a shower, then fell asleep. When Zhang Yifei woke up again, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

I walked out of the room and came to the conference room on the same floor, where as expected, the members of the convoy had already gathered.

This is also a habit of Prost team, which is that every time you stay in a hotel, you will rent a hotel conference room at the same time and come to take on the place where team members will discuss. In addition, a special room will be left to create a simulator training room.

When the team members were very happy to see Zhang Yifei coming in, they all came forward to say hello to him.

"Yifeijun, how are the matters at the French headquarters handled?"

Junko Takeda asked with concern, after all, if this matter is not handled properly, it may affect the relationship between Zhang Yifei and his boss Prost.

“It’s all solved.”

"That's good."

At the same time, Henry on the other side also walked over and said, "Fly, how about rest? If you can, just get familiar with the Suzuka Track first. I don't have much time left for you this time."

"Um."

Zhang Yifei nodded, then looked at Kossel. The old German man was still cold and had no expression.

After Zhang Yifei took his seat, Yamamoto Ukyo began to speak as a data analyst, but the first thing he introduced was not Suzuka Track, but a penalty decision about the FIA.

"Yifeijun, the collision and conflict of the US Grand Prix, several teams filed complaints after the race, and the event arbitration committee has made a punishment result."

"You said the result."

Zhang Yifei had long expected the punishment of the FIA. After all, it was a bit too obvious to deliberately crash the US Grand Prix. Both himself and Montoya would inevitably be punished, and even Xiong Long, who maliciously blocked the car, might not be able to escape.

"There are four drivers in the US Grand Prix who were punished, you and Montoya, as well as Bear Dragon and Villeneuve."

“It’s a bit lively.”

Zhang Yifei joked that four drivers were punished after one game, which is relatively rare in the F1 event.

"Xionglong has the lightest punishment. Facing the Blue Flag maliciously blocking the car twice, the Japanese Grand Prix will be backwards and three starts."

"Villeneuve's racing technology violated the regulations, and the front suspension parts did not meet the regulations. In theory, the black flag should have withdrawn from the competition. However, it was discovered after the game, so he was cancelled from the US Grand Prix points."

"Montoya had dangerous driving actions and had extreme behavior after the game, so he was punished to start from the repair station for the Japanese Grand Prix."

"As for your punishment, you have to stop for 10 seconds when you start at the repair station."

After hearing the punishment announced by Yamamoto Ukyo, Zhang Yifei felt a little dissatisfied. After a round of punishment, he ended up being the second only to Villeneuve's private modification?

Originally, the train at the repair station was about to end, and there was a penalty of ten seconds, so he was even left behind. Montoya's grandson, who maliciously collided and even beat someone after the game, could he punish him less than he was punished?

"Damn, how did the FIA ​​judge the penalty? No matter how much Montoya is, he has to punish me, right?"

Looking at Zhang Yifei's unhappy look, Henry said on the other side: "Fei, I know you are dissatisfied. Montoya's many controls on the track are indeed very dangerous and bad."

"But he was not successful after all, and you actually knocked him out of the track. Compared to directly canceling the penalty for points at the previous stop, at least he still retained the title of the American Grand Prix sub-station champion, which is already within the acceptable range."

After hearing Henry's explanation, Zhang Yifei also understood the truth, which means the same as the attempted crime.

No matter how malicious Montoya was at that time, or even with "murderous intentions", he did not succeed after all, and could not convict him of this.

To be honest, even if it is the punishment for starting the repair station, the main reason is not Montoya's malicious driving on the track, but his behavior of beating people after the race.

"Okay, it's not the worst result at all."

Zhang Yifei just complained, after all, he actually knocked Montoya out of the track, so it was impossible to not be punished.

Moreover, the boss Prost's sexy operation that year led to his very unfriendly relationship with the FIA. He had stuck himself on his super driver's license before.

This time, the points for the US Grand Prix were not cancelled due to dangerous driving. It was because I outperformed 500 Indy, which was considered as a way to give Formula One, otherwise the punishment might be more severe.

It can only be said that Zhang Yifei was indeed a little overwhelmed at the time. The collision was too obvious, and there was no way to pretend. This post-match punishment was already the lightest punishment for the FIA.

"Okay, since the punishment has been completed, there is no need to discuss it again. The main question now is how to run this Japanese Grand Prix well under the punishment!"

Kossel stood up and said, ending the topic of post-FIA punishment and focusing on the Japanese Grand Prix.

After hearing what Kossel said, Zhang Yifei became quiet, sat honestly on the chair, and listened to the German old man's analysis of the Suzuka Track.

"I believe you are all familiar with Suzuka Circuit. It was built in 1962 and was originally a Honda test track. Starting from 1987, the home f1 Grand Prix began. In the years since, Japan Grand Prix has been held at Suzuka Circuit."

Because Zhang Yifei experienced the Indy 500 event this time and flew to the German headquarters for a few days, his preparations for the Japanese Grand Prix were almost zero.

Therefore, unlike in the past, Kossel analyzed running methods and key routes, but even explained the history of the track so that Zhang Yifei could better understand this famous track.

In fact, Zhang Yifei is still very clear about these. After all, there are only two F1 tracks in East Asia. In addition to the East China Sea International track, this Japanese Suzuka track is the most famous.

It can even be said that Suzuka Circuit is a track full of exciting events and legends around the world. The main reason is that in the 1900s, the peak battle between Senna and Prost basically occurred on Suzuka Circuit.

And it's not just a three-year battle between Senna and Prost. There was also a Suzuka Track Schumacher ending the Ferrari championship drought, Kimi Raikkonen started 17 times to win the championship, the peak rain battle between Masa and Kubica in 2007, and the first podium for Japanese drivers in F1 history.

It can be said that there have been too many wonderful stories on the Suzuka Track. Not to mention that Zhang Yifei has become an F1 driver in this world, he will pay attention to the F1 track. Even in his previous life, Zhang Yifei is familiar with the stories that happened on the Suzuka Track, and Cosell does not need such a detailed explanation.

Maybe he saw the change in Zhang Yifei's expression on his face, and Cosell himself was not a person who likes nonsense. So he quickly jumped from track history to professional layout analysis of tracks.

"The Suzuka Track is the only track among the many F1 tracks that adopt an 8-shaped crossover design, which means that it not only has clockwise curves, but also has the same number of counterclockwise curves."

"And as Honda's initial test track, the entire track was relatively narrow, and it was mixed with various high-speed sections and low-speed corners. It can be said that this is a track that tests drivers' skills very much. In this track, strength will be the decisive factor."

After Cosel finished speaking, he looked at Ukyo Yamamoto.

Facing the tutor's eyes, Yukyo Yamamoto took out a stack of track data and handed it to Zhang Yifei and said, "Ifeijun, this is the complete layout of the Suzuka Track and the previous years' routing chart. The data is very detailed. I hope you can remember it firmly in the remaining three days."

Compared with other tracks, the collection of Suzuka track data is the easiest track.

First, it has a long history and has produced countless well-known competitions. It is also based on the test track, and it has detailed public data.

Another point is that this is Japan, which is the territory of Yamamoto Ukyo and Takeda Junko. It is relatively easier for them to collect Suzuka track data.

Therefore, the pre-match preparation work of this stop can be described as perfect, without any omissions, it depends on Zhang Yifei's performance.

"I will."

Zhang Yifei nodded and accepted the track data prepared by Yamamoto Ukyo.

But at this moment, Kossel stood in front of Zhang Yifei and said to him in a formal tone: "Although this stop is no longer important to the season ranking, it is difficult for you to achieve outstanding results even under the punishment of the FIA."

"But I hope that on any track, no matter what background and situation you face, you will do your best to run, instead of dealing with it. Can you do it?"

Cosel is different from Prost. At that time, Prost's conservative style was. As long as he could win the championship, or there was no possibility of winning the championship, he would not take any risks anymore, and would not fight for every event in a life!

This is what Kossell despises Prost the most, thinking that he is a coward and a coward! He does not have the passion and passion that a driver should have, and the courage to fight for victory.

So he didn't want Zhang Yifei to have this idea, and to run around in events that feel irrelevant. Even if there is no possibility of a world championship, any sub-stop event is also a self-affirmation of a driver and can also create a brilliant scene on the track.

No matter when, you should not lose your yearning for the championship, as well as the speed and passion on the track!

"Of course, I will do my best in any event."

Zhang Yifei replied to Cosel with certainty.

He always believes that a true professional driver should have the kind of romance of a man on the Isle of Man TT.
