"Well, I want to see the strength of my future teammates."

Zhang Yifei responded, he really wanted to see who is in better shape and stronger now, the newly promoted F1 Masa, who has been running for a year, has followed Alonso.

"Fei, you are the most dedicated driver I have ever met."

Henry sighed, if he had not been the leader, he would have wanted to go on vacation on the winter break. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei had already taken a vacation and came back to pay attention to the trial of the F1 rookie.

Although this incident also has something to do with Zhang Yifei, he could have used a phone call to find out his grades, and there is no need to be present in person.

Regarding Henry's words, Zhang Yifei just smiled, then went to Prost's office, preparing to confirm the situation with him.

After knocking on the office door a few times, Prost's "please come in" sound came from inside. When the door was pushed open and found that it was Zhang Yifei, even Prost was a little surprised.

"The F1 rookie trial started two days later, why are you back today?"

"Maybe I'm more suitable for the professional atmosphere."

Zhang Yifei told the truth. The days he stayed at home, except for physical exercise, could be described as doing nothing.

Moreover, the university has not had winter vacation yet at this time. If you want to find Wang Yanjiang to play, there is no one, and you have to face interviews from various media. It is better to relax in the fleet.

"By the way, how are you talking to Alonso?"

"It's been agreed and he was not willing to try out at Prost team at first, but after knowing that it was your choice, he changed his mind."

"Oh, why did he change his mind?"

"I want to challenge your position and say you will regret this decision."

Prost's answer was very direct, and Zhang Yifei's personal choice made Alonso feel provocative and humiliated.

According to the irritable personality of the boss, since a Chinese boy dares to choose me, there is no reason for me to admit defeat. At the same time, Alonso will not easily surrender to becoming the No. 2 driver and wingman. If Zhang Yifei dares to be so confident, he must be prepared to face challenges in the identity of No. 1 driver.

"Very good, I'll wait for him to challenge."

That's right, Zhang Yifei is so confident. From the beginning, he knew that recruiting a driver like Alonso was equivalent to a double-edged sword, but Zhang Yifei thought he had the ability to control it.

Prost has become accustomed to Zhang Yifei's attitude. Without absolute confidence, he cannot achieve good results.

"In addition, I also agreed to Masa's trial registration, and there are also several new drivers who will participate at the same time, and there may be unexpected gains."

"By the way, this trial was a joint trial, and it was located in the Jerez track in Spain. In addition to us, there are Sauber, Renault, and Toyota teams, and Helio may also appear at that time."

"Is that true, which team is Helio's main trial training?"

Zhang Yifei asked, this guy was destined to be his enemy on the track. Although Zhang Yifei was not afraid of the other party, it was absolutely right to know more about his opponent.

Because Zhang Yifei always remembers the lines in the novel called "Three-Body Problem", weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

Never be arrogant and despise your opponent just because of victory and achievements. You can despise it strategically, but you must pay attention to it tactically. Otherwise, one day you will lose in your own arrogance.

"As far as I know, it's Renault, but I also heard that Helio was preparing to try out the Big Three teams before, and even wanted to squeeze out one of the drivers. But I don't know if it was not successful or the Big Three teams did not give it a chance, there is no further information anyway."

"It's very arrogant."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei showed a playful smile on his lips. If it weren't for the enemy, Helio's behavior would have a bit of appetite for Zhang Yifei.

Entering the Big Three team is a dream of every rookie F1 driver, but there are not many people who challenge with courage like Helio.

To be honest, even Zhang Yifei himself never considered trying out the Big Three teams in the new stage, let alone challenging their drivers. From this point, it can be seen that Helio's goal to enter F1 is for the championship.

"It's very arrogant, but this year the Big Three teams have no vacancy, so he is destined to not have a chance to enter."

At present, the Big Three teams, Ferrari's "red flowers and green leaves" combination can be said to be unstoppable, and no one can be more suitable than the combination of Schumacher and Barrichello.

Williams Racing Schumachergamontoya Jr. is also a pair of unlimited potential, and the ceiling can even challenge the championship status of Ferrari. It is difficult for Helio to replace any of them before running in the F1 paddock.

The only chance that may be McLaren's Cooterhard and Kimi Raikkonen were combined.

But the problem is that Kurthard is still the runner-up this year. In addition to Zhang Yifei, who has a God's perspective, knowing that this is his final peak, others also believe that Kurthard has the strength to challenge Schumacher, so he cannot be replaced.

So the most dangerous person is Kimi Raikkonen.

However, the future Finnish Iceman was saved by Dennis and did not give Helio a chance to compete. At most, he would be given a test driver seat.

This is of course unacceptable to Helio, so he can only settle for the second best and choose another team with relatively strong strength, which is Renault.

As a factory team, Renault Motorsports has unquestionable capital and strength for the world's giant car company like Renault Nissan League. Moreover, Renault was an F1 engine supplier before and had rich F1 participation experience.

In fact, in the 2002 season, Renault, who had joined F1 for only one year, won the fourth place in total points and began to show its potential. Later, he signed with Alonso, winning two drivers and team world championships in a row, and directly reached the peak.

I have to say that Helio has a good vision and has chosen the team with the most future potential.

"I know the boss, and then I will go there with you in the test track."

“Ok.”

After the conversation ended, Zhang Yifei returned to his room. He put down his luggage and did not rest, but went directly to the racing simulation training room.

He said seriously last season that he only ran six races, so many tracks were unfamiliar with Zhang Yifei.

In the new season, Zhang Yifei's goal is to win the world championship. He will no longer let strange tracks become his own obstacle to winning the championship. The only solution is to get familiar with and adapt to strange tracks through crazy simulation training.

This is another important reason why Zhang Yifei chose to return to the team early. At least compared to the newcomer season, this time he had more time to start the simulator training, so he couldn't waste it.

Two days passed in a flash. Zhang Yifei, Prost, Henry and Cosel arrived at the Jerez Raceway in Spain and did not bring the crew members and the car. Because they were all in Prost's private racing, they accompanied the test drivers to conduct the stability test of the A05 racing car, and they could not free up enough personnel.

However, at this time, the advantages of team joint trial training came out. Only one team needed to provide racing and technical support, and other teams shared the fees equally. This way, each team tried out can save a lot of human resources and funds, and is also the first choice for many small teams.

The Jerez Circuit is the home track of the Spanish Grand Prix. It is located in a small valley. The climate has always been sunny and the main stand has a very wide view, which allows you to see all the driver's routes very clearly.

So, Jerez has always been one of the first choices for each team to test throughout the year.

In addition to these advantages, another reason for becoming a test track is temperature.

This is the same reason for the Catalonian track in winter. Because Spain is relatively south and the temperature in the northern hemisphere is much higher in winter than other European countries, the winter test tracks are basically placed in Spain.

Today, the Jerez track is crowded with people. In addition to the gathering of four F1 teams, many media reporters have come to the scene for interviews and are preparing to witness the annual F1 rookie test.

Because compared with previous years, this year's F1 rookies can be described as "star-bright", and Masa, Helio, Sato Takuma and others can all be regarded as well-known newcomers, and they naturally have more attention than in previous years.

In addition to the newcomers, there are also some veteran drivers who have been eliminated by the team, and have also joined the ranks of test drivers. For example, Alonso of Minardi, Dela Rosa of the old Arrows, and Renault test driver Mark Webber, etc.

They were either eliminated by the team or tested as drivers before, and wanted to win a seat as a formal driver, so they participated in this test and hoped to win the favor of the team.

Originally, this was a very regular F1 rookie trial, and the media's focus was also on this year's rookie drivers. However, when Zhang Yifei entered the track viewing table, he instantly attracted media reporters on the scene. They were surprised that this year's F1 paddock super star actually came to watch the F1 rookie test.

"Fei, are you choosing your teammates?"

"Fei, for Prost team No. 2 driver, do you have any requirements and standards? Will you have conflicts with your boss?"

"Fly, do you need a reliable wingman or a strong teammate?"

"Fei, will you be afraid of the competition between new teammates?"

The reporters surrounded Zhang Yifei and asked him about his new teammates, as well as his own opinions and opinions.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's popular scene, the rookie drivers standing at the track maintenance station and waiting for trial training had different expressions on their faces.

Sato Takuma's face was envious. He hoped that one day he would become a superstar like Zhang Yifei and make the Japanese driver famous!

The expression on Masa's face was yearning. He believed that Zhang Yifei's pursuit scene today will be reproduced in himself in the future.

Helio's expression is a kind of unyielding scene. This kind of popular scene has actually been staged countless times in his career, so there is no envy or yearning for it.
