Compared to the surprise of others, Zhang Yifei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Because when the McLaren team was in McLaren, he once crazily complained about racing performance in the team's voice. The translation means Honda racing engine, which is as slow as GP2 racing!

GP2 racing is the current F3000 level, so when this complaint comes out, it becomes a famous saying in the racing industry. As long as there is a F1 racing car that does not perform well, it will be called gp2 engine (gp2 engine).

What's more serious is that when Alonso complained about this sentence, he was at home in Japan, and Honda executives were present at that time.

Think about how much money Honda spent as an engine supplier, but was criticized by its drivers in front of the world at home. What a big blow to Honda's brand value and business image.

It was precisely because of this incident that Alonso and Honda broke through, and even so serious that the F1 team did not dare to recruit this great master again. What if this track bb machine complained about saying something amazing, would the team still have the image?

This is also the unspoken rule in the f1 paddock. You can scold anyone, even your boss and teammates, as well as the bigwigs of the FIA, but you must not scold your team.

In history, those who publicly complained about their team basically did not end well. Ferrari once had two people. One was that after the contract expired, he faced the same end as Alonso, and no team dared to ask for it.

The other one was directly kicked off by Ferrari founder Enzo on the spot, which was equivalent to ending his career.

Of course, this depends on strength. When Brother Bo said this, his strength had already declined significantly. If he said this at the peak, the result would probably be completely different, and the team would still be a treasure.

But Zhang Yifei did not expect that this classic scene in history would be staged in another way today in advance. As expected, the head brother is still the head brother and can't control his mouth!

Although there is no management of Minardi team here, the expression on the faces of other team owners did not look very good after hearing this.

After all, as the boss of a team, they are on the same front as Minardi's management. The trial track is not bad now, there is no global live broadcast and no media intervention in tr (voice) reports, so it can be regarded as a joke.

But what should we do if this scene happens again in the future? Not every fleet is rich and has its own engine suppliers, and does not care about external influences and opinions.

Originally, many team management teams had the idea of ​​throwing out an olive branch when they saw Alonso's amazing lap. As a result, because of this sentence, they directly passed Alonso. The boss really did not die!

"Fly, I don't think this Spanish driver can do it."

Prost, who had already agreed with Zhang Yifei's idea, began to repent at this moment. At the beginning, he said that Alonso was a "team cancer" and a "time bomb" and other things, but it was more of a joke. Where can a new rookie jump to? Suppressing him is not like playing?

But now the situation is completely different, and this guy may "detonate"!

For a team, he would rather have the internal explosion bomb of Helio than the external cancer of Alonso. If he complained about Ferrari engines like this, then the Prost team will be endless?

"It's a bit stupid."

Zhang Yifei also agreed with it, but he did not have the mentality of Prost, and it was more of a funny feeling of witnessing the reappearance of history.

After all, when he heard this voice in later generations, he was just a spectator and could play with memes with online car fans. Although the location is different today, his feelings are still the same. At most, he thinks that the boss is really a "talent".

"But boss, I still stick to the stronger standards before, and if Alonso joins the team, I will shut him up."

Zhang Yifei did not plan to change the orders every day. Since he had made the decision at the beginning, he would stick to it.

And this kind of complaint requires a prerequisite, that is, the racing engine is really bad, and it has nothing to do with the driver's strength.

Although the boss said this, in fact, the Honda engine in those years was really just a "gp2" level. Gp2 needs to be quoted here, because no matter how bad the F1 engine is, it is still much better than the real Gp2 level.

Alonso uses Williams engines for McLaren, and can win the runner-up, and the level of fighting against Red Bull Team Wilt.

But when he met the peak Red Bull, Wilter directly won four consecutive championships, and forced Alonso to death, who was the second spring in his life.

Later, McLaren replaced the Honda engine, which really made a big drop, and it went from second-runner to second-last-runner-up strength to second-last-last-last-lower-down strength.

Of course, there are also McLaren's own reasons. The team's internal research and development was a mess and the engine was not in the body was not involved in the car. It happened to McLaren's team.

I can only say that in those years, McLaren, Honda, and Alonso, whose strength has declined, made each other's treasures, which eventually led to the famous "gp2" incident.

If Alonso enters the Prost team, history will naturally change. After all, Alonso has been in the f1 yard for more than ten years in later generations. Although he has done a lot of idiots, he has only done such idiots once, and he still has a basic IQ.

So Zhang Yifei believes that under normal circumstances, the possibility of the "gp2" incident recurring is almost zero.

"Okay, it depends on God's will."

The criterion for choosing the strongest driver is the unanimous opinion of the team management, and there is no King Alonso. If he can really maintain this lap to the end, it can only be said that this is God's will, and Massa is not as skilled as humans.

Alonso's lap speed also directly stimulated Masa and Helio. Both of them had reasons to surpass Alonso.

Especially Helio, his self-esteem does not allow himself to lose to a Spanish rookie who "refreshed rice". He should have crushed the whole audience like Villeneuve back then!

If Helio had retained his strength before, Helio now still showed his side like a madman. He was extremely radical and wild, and even didn't care about racing and his own life safety at all, exerting the wildness and courage of Indy drivers to the extreme!

In the ninth lap test, Helio directly ran out of lap speed of 1 minute 18 seconds 344, which was 0.3 seconds higher than Alonso's fastest lap speed before.

This result is amazing. Sauber, Toyota, and Renault team management all showed excited expressions on their faces. You should know that because of the Formula Century Battle, many F1 management teams' expectations for Indy drivers have dropped by a level.

After all, Zhang Yifei, a super newcomer in F1, won the three Indy champions after running the Indy 500 mode for the first time. It is estimated that these people will not be much stronger when they enter F1.

But now that this idea has been completely overturned, Helio has the potential to become the next Villeneuve, and at the least he has the strength of Montoya. As expected, Indy's strongest newcomer in history is not a fictional reputation!

Montoya's score in this lap was not bad, and his lap speed broke through 1 minute, 18 seconds, 576 again. However, Helio was too perverted and suppressed his supposedly impressive result to a dull and dull result.

At the end of the last lap test, the fastest lap of the three people was frozen on the display screen. Helio became the well-deserved first in the rookie test this year with a time of 1 minute 18 seconds 229, with a distance of less than 0.1 seconds.

Considering the performance of the racing, the weather temperature in winter, Helio's performance is actually no less than the track record, and it is even slightly ahead.

Of course, the track record does not equal the fastest lap speed. Schumacher's qualifying score of 1 minute 17 seconds 652 is still in a far leading position. But this still shows Helio's strength and potential, and he will definitely become one of the focus of next year's F1 season.

"This Indy boy is really strong."

This time it was no longer Kossell, but Henry. Because this lap speed is really a bit terrifying, and with his Indy champion momentum, it is really possible to replicate Villeneuve's miracle.

"The other two are good, too."

Cosel nodded and agreed.

Because of the final result, Alonso's lap speed was frozen at 1 minute 18 seconds 431, while Masa's final lap speed was 1 minute 18 seconds 417.

I don’t know if it was because of the masters’ fight, and the lap speed was obviously a bit too fast this time. Not to mention the two newcomers who did not compare, Helio and Masa, for Alonso, this lap speed has exceeded his professional level last season.

This result is great news for the team management present today. If you can get one of them, your team's future potential will be improved by at least one level.

Especially Helio, if he can give him a powerful racing car, he will have a chance to challenge the Big Three of the track.

The only person who still doesn't look very good may be Prost, because the result has appeared now, Alonso is faster than Masa. According to the previous agreement, the future No. 2 driver in Prost's parking space will fall on this "time bomb" Spanish boy.

Seeing Prost's frowning look, Zhang Yifei went over to comfort him: "Boss, don't be so pessimistic. Believe in my strength and believe in the ability of Prost's strategy group. Alonso can't make the best."

"And there is also good news."

“What good news?”

Prost asked a question.

"Choose Alonso now, it can help you save a lot of money!"

The advantage of joint team testing is that it is low cost and disadvantages are also very high, that is, after a potential newcomer appears, several teams will compete for it.

If the driver didn’t have a goal in his mind, then it will naturally be up to who can pay more money to go to!

The signing fee for these three people today is far beyond ordinary newcomers. For example, Helio, who can visually break through the million US dollars.

Under normal circumstances, Alonso's quotation will not be low. If Prost wants to get it, it still has to prepare for a million yuan. However, after Alonso's own bbw operation, it is estimated that other drivers don't want this guy very much.
Chapter completed!
