Seeing Zhang Yifei holding the rookie team list in his hand, Kossel said lightly: "Many teams will be improved next year."

Although Kossell has no God's perspective and knows the future results of these rookies this year, in terms of trial training performance, they are almost all top-notch in previous years. Even Takuma, who ranks fourth, can stand at the top level in previous years.

And more importantly, this year, choosing these new teams can match your original drivers well, so that the overall strength of the team can be significantly improved.

As for the current situation, it is a win-win situation, but for Zhang Yifei's schedule next year, there will be more challenges.

"Yes, next year will be a great season."

Zhang Yifei agreed with the Mars rover era and this group of top newcomers join, the schedule next year is destined to be extremely exciting.

“Is there pressure?”

Cosel asked Zhang Yifei.

"No."

"Why?"

“Because my goal is to win.”

Zhang Yifei replied calmly, if you want to win the championship, you are destined to defeat all your opponents. Since you have made up your mind from the beginning and chose the most difficult path, what pressure should you consider now?

When Zhang Yifei first entered the field of equations, he had experienced the atmosphere of being an enemy of the world. Now this is really just a small scene.

After the rookie trial is over, all team management will return to their respective headquarters locations, and new drivers only need to report to the team after the winter break.

However, this time, Alonso did not choose to go home for the winter break, but directly followed the Prost team and returned to the headquarters in Paris, France. He planned to use the team's simulator training to improve his strength and maintain the racing feel of the winter break.

Talent only determines the upper limit of a driver. Moreover, in the F1 field, almost everyone is a talented driver, sometimes the level of strength needs to be determined by diligence.

Alonso has a great personality flaw, but he is definitely not an enterprising and lazy driver. Moreover, with his current strength as a newcomer, Alonso is not qualified to enjoy the whole holiday happily. He needs to use the winter break to improve himself.

Faced with Alonso's decision, Zhang Yifei was thinking of another driver, that is Kubica.

Kubica also wanted to improve herself and was unwilling to waste the long winter break period. The racing simulator did not improve much for veteran drivers like him, so she chose to run RV events to maintain her feel.

As a result, this choice almost ruined his entire career, which has to be said to be a tragedy.

Back at the French headquarters, the crew members held a small welcome ceremony to celebrate the addition of Alonso, a new member, which was much more grand than Zhang Yifei's entry into the convoy.

After all, Prost has passed the most difficult period last year, and the morale and status of all members are also in an upward period. I hope that the arrival of Alonso can make Prost the real fourth giant in the f1 paddock, or even go further.

At this time, Alonso performed very normally and did not show his "team cancer" nature. On the contrary, his hard work of returning to team training during the winter break also won the favor of many crew members.

Hopefully, history changes, and people will change.

This is the only thought in Zhang Yifei's heart when he was in harmony with each other.

Prost No. 2 driver is in place, which means that all pre-race preparations have been completed, and the next step is to prepare for the new season next year.

In the next period of time, Zhang Yifei and Alonso basically stayed in the simulator training room every day and were practicing the track.

Although Alonso did not encounter a car accident like Zhang Yifei and missed many games. However, he was also the same group of newcomers entering the F1 paddock, and his performance was not very good. All track layouts and routes still need to be familiar with them.

Time soon came to the end of December. With the arrival of Western Christmas and New Year and other festivals, the crew and R&D personnel began to gradually take holidays. Even the final test of the new AAP05 racing car was suspended and they were preparing to continue construction next year.

Prost and Cosell also returned home on Christmas Eve. Only Zhang Yifei and Huali Engineers were left in the entire fleet headquarters and R&D base. These Chinese people who do not pay attention to Western festivals stayed at their posts.

Even Yamamoto Ukyo and Takeda Junko have returned to Japan. After all, Japan chose **** a hundred years ago, and their New Year is no longer the Chinese Lunar New Year, but is synchronized with Europe and the United States.

The only thing that surprised Zhang Yifei was that Alonso did not choose to go home for the festival, but continued to stay in the racing simulation training room at the headquarters to maintain the training rhythm with Zhang Yifei.

On Christmas Eve, Zhang Yifei prepared for the simulator training as usual, and happened to meet Alonso, who had the same idea in the corridor.

"Aren't you going back?"

Zhang Yifei asked, "The two people communicated well during this period, which was much better than the stranger he had with Alessi in the early days. Maybe it was because Zhang Yifei finally threatened Alonso on the trial track, and he basically didn't do anything, nor did he show his BB-type attributes to Zhang Yifei.

Because in addition to showing Alonso's strength, Zhang Yifei's hand actually has a warning element. If this Spanish boy is always in front of him, the greater the muscle strength of his arm, it means how heavy the fist is.

Zhang Yifei didn't mind, so he let Alonso taste the taste of ** Iron Fist. Anyway, the fight between the Prost team, drivers No. 1 and 2 are almost becoming a tradition, and he is simply passing on this spirit and style.

"Don't go back."

Alonso replied simply and walked straight towards the racing simulator.

What he didn't say was that the main reason why he didn't go back was actually because of Zhang Yifei.

Of course, this reason is not because of love, but because of training with Zhang Yifei for more than half a month in the simulator, which brought Alonso a deep shock!

If Alonso beat Zhang Yifei before, it was because he was selected as the No. 2 driver by the other party, which made him feel a sense of contempt and insult. He wanted to defeat Zhang Yifei and use his strength to seize the No. 1 driver's position in response to this humiliation.

After training the simulator for more than half a month, he was really impressed by Zhang Yifei's strength. The new driver who entered the f1 paddock together, Zhang Yifei's lap speed on the simulator was ahead of him, even the same was true for the track he missed due to injury.

Alonso started to get involved in karting at the age of 3, which can be said to be a standard Formula Driver Professional Template. He has experienced countless teammates, and no peers have ever been able to crush him like this, but Zhang Yifei did it.

Brother Tou has many shortcomings and is not a likable person, but his professionalism is really nothing to say, and his desire for champions is even more so. All his complaints are actually for a better racing car that will allow him to have the ability to chase his third champion.

He didn't want to lose even his efforts to Zhang Yifei when he was behind. This might be something Alonso could finally maintain his pride in front of Zhang Yifei.

Therefore, in addition to those who have to stay on duty, only Alonso voluntarily stayed and carried out simulator training to improve himself.

"Or want to beat me?"

Zhang Yifei smiled and continued to ask, he actually had the same goal and victory as Alonso, so he knew very well what the other party was thinking.

"Of course, I have to beat you."

Even though all track data were behind, Alonso still did not lose his confidence and pride.

Your future is definitely not the highest podium of the world champion. The final destination is the highest podium!

"Then let's go ahead."

Zhang Yifei didn't talk nonsense, opened the racing simulator and started training, and the same was true for Alonso next to him.

At some point, competition and threats are actually a good thing. At least it will motivate itself to make continuous progress, otherwise it will be replaced by others.

No one knows better than Zhang Yifei how strong Alonso is. There is a famous saying in later generations to evaluate him like this.

"Only people question Alonso because of their character, and no one doubts Alonso because of their technology."

I don’t know whether this is a compliment to Alonso or a mockery of him, but at least one thing is beyond doubt, that is, the head brother is definitely capable of threatening Zhang Yifei’s position.

Arrogance is the biggest murderer who kills a professional driver. Even if he is stronger than Alonso now, Zhang Yifei will never take it lightly. Choosing the strongest teammate is actually a kind of dancing on the tip of a knife. If you don’t hurt others, you will hurt yourself!

As New Year's Day passed, time officially came to 2001 in this world, that is, 2002 in Zhang Yifei's original world.

The members of the crew returned to the team after the New Year and were preparing to welcome the most important winter test before the race. This will determine which performance of this year's Prost AAP05 racing car can rank first. Is it the team's carnival that has been viewing the sky from a well or it really meets the "Rail Rover" standard.

However, at this time, the FIA ​​announced the schedule for next year and released a major news. That is, the ranking of sub-station tracks will be changed, and two brand new tracks will be replaced.

The Singapore track will replace Australia's Albert Park track and become the new opening race track. At the same time, China's Donghai International Track will replace Japan's Suzuka Track and become the final battle of the new season!

After reading the news of the new season released by the FIA, Zhang Yifei's face was full of surprises. When Zhang Yifei returned to China last time, he asked about it. He was still in a state of unfinished work. Unexpectedly, this year it will become an official track and will also host the final battle.

Another Singapore track was unexpected by Zhang Yifei. Because the Singapore track in history officially joined the F1 Grand Prix in 2008, it was actually six years ahead of schedule in this world.

It seems that with its emergence, Asia's attention to F1 has increased significantly, and in conjunction with the FIA's own global expansion strategy, it is crazy about promoting the Asian National Grand Prix.

In order to increase the influence of the two newly added tracks, they are willing to make them the tracks for the opening and final battles. Perhaps the ambitious challenge behavior of the Indian local formula last year also sounded a wake-up call for the FIA.

If you don’t seize the market, the Indian local program may not be willing to settle in a corner of the Americas!

"The addition of two new tracks means that all drivers are on the same starting line, and it highlights the suspense of this year's championship."

Prost said in a relaxed tone that both drivers in his team are now considered young drivers, so the use of the new track will have little impact on the team, and it is even beneficial in a sense.

After all, what new drivers lack the most is experience, and these things are difficult to run out of the racing simulator. At the same unfamiliar starting line, Prost team has made great profits.

"But both tracks are very novel, especially the Singapore track, which is a block-to-night battle. F1 has never spent night Grand Prix in history, and even drivers have no night training experience. Can they adapt in a short period of time?"

The team leader Henry said worriedly, not only did he open a new track this time, but he also opened up a new Grand Prix mode, that is, night battle!

If the change of a single factor can still gain some benefits, then with so many changes in factors, or even completely different racing experiences, the experience of veteran drivers will gain another advantage, which will be a more severe challenge for Zhang Yifei and Alonso.

"I'm fine."

Zhang Yifei directly expressed his attitude because he always remembered a saying from Cosell, that is, champion drivers cannot have any shortcomings, even if it is a night battle he has never experienced before!

Sure enough, when Zhang Yifei said this, Cosell looked at him, and a kind of praise appeared in his eyes. This is the confidence and ability that a driver who regards the championship as his goal should have.

"I'm fine, either."

The other side of the head also expressed his attitude. During this period, he trained with Zhang Yifei, which helped him improve a lot, and even suppressed his personality that likes to complain.

After all, Zhang Yifei, the No. 1 driver who is stronger than him, did not complain. What qualifications does No. 2 driver Alonso have to complain?

There is no problem with technology, but there is really a problem with character.

After hearing Alonso's answer, Zhang Yifei couldn't help but mutter in his heart, because at the Singapore Grand Prix that was first held in 2008, Alonso and Renault Motors' team staged a famous "car door crash" incident.

This "car door crash" directly made Masa miss the world champion and became one of the biggest black spots in Alonso's character.
