682 Raising Tigers (Chapter 3)

But this is not Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed. It's hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker.

Briatoli was very satisfied with Helio's confident answer. The annual championship of the team this year is really strong, so there is no need to treat him as a newcomer.

No wonder the Big Three team kicked Jason Patton last year and must make Montoya an official driver. Indeed, the Indy champion has this capital.

Speaking of Jason Patton, Briatoli looked at him and asked, "Barton, do you think you can be better than Alonso?"

Zhang Yifei is naturally handed over to Helio to deal with. As the second driver of the wingman, Patton's match is Alonso. If he can surpass Prost, the new second driver and cooperate with Helio to snipe the driver Fei, then Renault's team will still have a great chance of winning this year.

“I have confidence.”

Patton also replied seriously, he had experienced being given up and could understand the rare opportunity.

Renault was very good to him. In the most difficult moments, he chose to accept him and become a formal driver. His performance was not good last year, but it had little to do with him, because the team had just been formed and used modified old racing cars. In addition, the team management was chaotic, so he couldn't get the results.

Jason Patton has never been a surprise driver. His real advantage is stability and comprehensiveness.

If you give him a 100-performing car, he will be able to perform 100 points. If you provide a failed racing car, don't expect how many surprises it can create.

Renault racing performance this year is good, and Jason Patton is confident that he can achieve good results, at least not inferior to Alonso, who was at the bottom last year.

"Very good, our Renault aims to win the championship, so it's not a loss to any team!"

Briattoli is also very confident, and this is the confidence that Renault Racing gives him. Since the 1970s, Renault, as an engine supplier, has always used five teams and won six team championships.

If future history is included, then Renault and Red Bull have won a total of twelve team championships!

Renault Engine definitely has a brilliant record, and this is their confidence capital!

At the repair station of the Prost team, Zhang Yifei surpassed Schumacher in the first test and ran the fastest lap on the track. The members of the crew were filled with surprise smiles.

Because even they themselves did not expect that the new AAP05 racing car could be so powerful, they directly got the fastest lap in the first test.

Zhang Yifei stopped as soon as he entered the station and before he could get off the racing car, Prost came over and asked, "Fei, how is the overall feeling?"

“The racing performance is very strong, I think it can reach first-class standards.”

In fact, Zhang Yifei originally wanted to say the "Rail Rover" standard, but he thought that it was only the first test at the moment, and neither the team nor the driver tried to run the fastest lap speed. It was really hard to say the ranking of the racing performance at that time.

At least the Ferrari team is definitely not inferior to the Prost Ap05. After all, the ultimate performance of the racing car is not only about the engine, but also about the transmission system, chassis, suspension and other factors.

Just like the later Mercedes-Benz team Dugu Qiubai, while Williams team, which also uses Mercedes-Benz engines, is still ranked last.

Zhang Yifei is not arrogant yet, thinking that Prost racing design can surpass Ferrari racing now.

"Then there is not much difference with the laboratory data. This year our Prost team will have the strength to compete with the Big Three head-on!"

As the boss and founder, Prost almost burst into tears when facing this scene of waking up.

Last year, Zhang Yifei's performance can be described as perfect, but Prost's performance is weak and he is still not competitive in the end. If you have a first-class racing car today, I believe that Zhang Yifei, who has fully played, has the possibility of defeating the Big Three teams.

The Prost team finally ushered in the dawn of its rise!

The boss Prost's words also made the crew members excited, especially the maintenance technician team, who worked together in unity last year and created almost impossible events.

This year, we can finally stand on the same starting line with our opponents. They believe that Prost drivers are no worse than the Big Three teams!

Seeing the team reveling because of the racing performance, Alonso's face was very indifferent.

He has not experienced the joys and sorrows of the past year, so it is difficult to understand such feelings. But in his heart, he is a little envious of Zhang Yifei for being so valued and respected by the team. This is beyond the limit of the No. 1 driver's identity and is its real influence and status.

Alonso understands Zhang Yifei's experience and understands that he is a driver who turns the tide in the Prost team. If you want to get such equal respect and recognition, you must show your strength, be stronger than Zhang Yifei, and lead the team to win!

The winter test continued in the afternoon, but Zhang Yifei did not play. Instead, he and Cosell and team engineers conducted racing adjustments on the problems found in the morning test.

So Alonso began his first winter test as the team's second driver. Cod, the chief engineer of Alessi, officially became Alonso's race engineer and will serve him throughout the process in the future.

"Alonso, I know you want to prove yourself very much, but winter tests are more about understanding and controlling new racing cars, so it's not good to put the cart before the horse."

Since the winter break, Cod has been working with Alonso as a temporary competition engineer.

He didn't like the Spanish boy's character very much, but was moved by his efforts and persistence, and finally chose to become his official competition engineer.

Cod knew that Alonso was very strong in his heart, and he was extremely eager to win, wanting to become a superstar driver in the f1 paddock and become the world champion who stood at the peak.

But many things, hasteness is not achieved, and the fastest lap speed is measured in the first test, while ignoring the running-in feedback on various racing data will affect the future main race. The young and frivolous state is something that every F1 new driver has experienced, so he reminded him.

"I see."

Alonso nodded. In fact, his arrogance and irritability have dissipated a lot during this period.

The reason is very simple. Zhang Yifei is too strong. He suppressed the boss in all aspects and made him start to look at himself with a modest attitude.

"For Prost, I also proved that I am an excellent driver, go!"

A engineer like Cod who has assisted veterans is really suitable and understands Alonso's mentality, which not only mobilizes his emotions, but also suppresses his "resentment".

"I will also contribute my strength to Prost's rise!"

When saying this, Alonso took his eyes off Zhang Yifei. Prost not only had Zhang Yifei, but also I, Alonso.
