The conversation at the Ferrari team repair station was also staged in other teams. Sir Williams looked at Montoya beside him and said to him: "It seems that the Chinese boy has not given up on this stop yet. Are you planning to follow?"

At the end of the season, and starting from the maintenance station, Sir Williams has actually given up letting Montoya compete for the results in his pre-match strategy.

Because unless you create a shocking miracle and can counterattack from the 21st to the first place, with more than 20 opponents in a row, you should not make meaningless efforts and do not take unnecessary risks. Keep your mindset and form to welcome the new season next year.

But what Sir Williams never expected was that Zhang Yifei, who was even behind in the last place, wanted to win the championship in a different way.

Is this a dream or a fool? In the face of too many miracles Zhang Yifei has created, even an old world like Sir Williams dare not make a rash definition.

"Follow, even if I can't get the grade, I don't want him to win three consecutive championships."

Montoya replied viciously.

The achievements of the newcomer's three consecutive championships in the season are too terrifying. It is unprecedentedly certain, and it is even very likely that there will be no future!

Montoya could not imagine how crazy the entire track would be when Zhang Yifei became the champion of the Japanese Grand Prix, and how praise the media reports would be.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred are all kinds of emotions. Montoya cannot accept such a reality anyway.

Faced with Montoya's condition, Sir Williams did not agree with the same kind as before, but sighed abnormally.

"Montoya, sometimes it takes a change of mindset to make himself stronger."

Sir Williams actually has no doubt about Montoya's strength. If Zhang Yifei did not appear this year, Montoya would definitely become the brightest newcomer on the F1 track, and even Kimi Raikkonen last year was far inferior to Kimi Raikkonen.

However, with one failure and a conflict, Montoya's thinking began to enter a dead end. Even his highest career goal was not to win the championship, but to defeat Zhang Yifei.

It is a good thing to have fighting spirit, but if you want to reach the top, you can never focus on just one opponent.

In fact, there is a slogan on the track that Sir Williams agrees very much, that is, why Zhang Yifei achieved today, is that he was ready to be an enemy of the world from the beginning!

Even if Montoya destroys Zhang Yifei's "three consecutive championships" through a car crash, what can he get?

Honor, status, or dignity?

Perhaps what I can get in the end is the pleasure of revenge, but what I bet on is my entire career.

As a boss, Sir Williams' business philosophy is an absolute exchange of interests. Whatever the driver can bring to the team, he can meet the driver's requirements.

So Sir Williams would not dissuade Montoya with a bitter word, and would make him understand better through reminders. If it really doesn't work, when the transfer period after the event comes, another driver will replace him.

Maybe his strength is not as strong as Montoya, but at least he will not lock his upper limit by paranoidness.

Hearing Sir Williams' words, Montoya's "resentment" on his face before turned into a contradiction. After all, he was a king who had stood at the peak and a genius driver on the Indy track. He also understood the truth.

It’s just that many things are the same as doing, Montoya just refuses to admit defeat!

In the McLaren team repair station, the atmosphere seemed much more indifferent than the other two giant teams. With Coothard's defeat, the championship was no longer suspense, and the previous fighting spirit and gunpowder smell gradually dissipated.

But there is still a very serious problem. It is placed in front of McLaren, which is the Finnish rookie who was once highly anticipated. His performance this season was very bad. Except for winning the "Temini Battle" with Zhang Yifei before, he has not been to the points zone several times throughout the season, let alone the podium.

The "Gemini" who once created miracles has not even qualified to be compared. The team management has already had many dissatisfaction voices, believing that Mika Hakkinen recommended the wrong successor, and that the Finnish super newcomer is not worthy of his name!

If Kimi Raikkonen is more powerful this year and has achieved 60% or 70% of Barrichello's effect, Kurthard may still have the establishment of a battle with Schumacher and will not be left behind for more than 20 points.

Moreover, if Schumacher wins the championship in this game, the score gap may widen to more than 30. McLaren's management does not think that his drivers are so big with Ferrari.

Although Ron Dennis is the chairman of McLaren, McLaren Group itself is a privately established team and professional manager system. He can only be considered a member of the management team and has no absolute decision-making power.

So no matter how much he appreciates Kimi, he feels that he has the potential to become the next generation of Finnish racing leaders, he cannot rely on the power of one person to fight against the decisions of the entire management.

"Kimmy, what do you think about the final battle?"

In the driver's lounge, Dennis asked Kimi Raikkonen, who had always been quiet, instead of asking him directly.

It can be said that Kimi Raikkonen will eventually become the "Finnish Iceman" and almost defeated the peak Schumacher driver. Dennis' appreciation and tolerance are inseparable. If it were the other two giant teams, if they had such a bad result in the newcomer stage, they would have been fucking packing up and getting out of here.

In the face of Dennis' inquiry, Kimi Raikkonen did not answer. In fact, he knew what the boss wanted to say.

This season, Kimi Raikkonen has worked hard, but it is more of a loss. Looking at his former opponent and junior newcomer, he is getting farther and farther away, and his final results are not at the same level.

To be honest, Kimi Raikkonen himself didn't know whether it was bad luck or poor strength. This season he had too many racing failures, many of which were serious failures that could not be repaired, and he had to withdraw from the race.

But the problem is that Coothard, who also drove a McLaren MP4 car, was able to reach second in the standings and even competed with Schumacher for one time.

Is it really because of my own strength?

By this time, even Kimi Raikkonen began to doubt himself a little.

Seeing Kimi's answer, Dennis shook his head helplessly. He knew that this was the character of a young Finnish man, and often he was as cold as ice. He could only say that he had tried his best. If Kimi could not ignite the flame of fighting spirit in the ice and burst into his own light, it would only prove that he was not suitable for the f1 paddock.

So Dennis stood up and prepared to walk towards the front of the podium. After all, the final battle is still going on, and McLaren must defend its position as the Big Three.

"Dennis, I won't give in."

A cold but firm voice sounded from behind Dennis. Kimi Raikkonen was not only as cold as ice, but also as hard as ice. He was not that fragile.

Otherwise, in 2003, he would not have transformed like a butterfly, almost killing the invincible Schumacher on the horse, and he would not have become the world champion driver later.

"I trust you."

Dennis nodded with a smile. Being a Big Three team is not only money and technology, but also trust and unity.

As long as Kimi Raikkonen is confident, the crew members will give him full support. This is McLaren, which also created a dynasty and ruled a fleet of an era!

In the Prost maintenance station, there was no discussion on tactics or strategies. The crew members were conducting post-race inspections around the two racing cars.

Among them, Zhang Yifei's No. 13 racing car became the focus of inspection, because this time he did not use a spare frame, but a prototype frame.

Although the prototype frame has no major structural problems, it is an early test frame, and some minor errors and damage may occur. The problem must be prevented before it occurs, otherwise a problem will occur on the track, which will be a major accident!

Another point is that the newly processed parts of the racing car are still made by Chinese technicians. The reason is that the Prost team R&D center is seriously insufficient. Unless it is based on Prost's idea and directly recruiting European and American engineers from outside to substitute, Chinese technicians can only continue to work.

After all, as the team owner, he is not interested in any single sub-stop event, but a whole. Next year is the time for Prost team to truly rise.

Therefore, ensuring the development of the latest AAP05 racing car is the top priority of the entire team. Even if Zhang Yifei withdraws from the race, he will be willing to do so!

However, this time, Chinese technicians finally began to receive systematic guidance and training, rather than the relatively "free-stocking" model that was the previous. Zhang Yifei never had any doubts about the learning ability of Chinese engineers, and he felt that there would be no more problems.

However, the technicians of the car crew cannot achieve this 100% trust, and it is their responsibility to eliminate any hidden dangers.

"Charlie, how about it?"

Cosel asked.

"No errors or looseness of any parts were found. Combined with the feedback from flying tracks, we can confirm that there should be no problem this time."

Charlie answered very surely, because he also knew that Cosell didn't like the possibility, almost, almost, such adjectives, and had to give a definite answer to facilitate his next tactical arrangements.

In fact, what the outside world doesn’t know is that Zhang Yifei ran lap crazily in the practice competition this time. In addition to his fighting spirit and passion, there is another very important reason, which is to test the stability of the racing car.

If the first exercise is not detected and the problem is discovered until the third exercise is discovered, there will be less time left for the crew members to solve it.
