After the entire winter break, Alonso has completely brought himself into the Prost team membership.

If a driver is simply for profit, he will never be able to achieve his peak results. He must have a sense of honor, whether it is for himself or for the team.

Even if it was Zhang Yifei, if it weren't for the dream of Chinese drivers and not wanting to disappoint the crew members, he wouldn't be so desperate on the track.

After all, a car can run for many years, and only one life is needed. You must take out something to convince the inner fear of death, fear and other instincts. This thing cannot be achieved by money and interests, only dreams and honors!

Alonso is very selfish, but he is definitely not a driver who lacks honor. Even if he goes to the local printing program at the end of his career, there is not really no team to do so. As long as he lowers the standards slightly, there is no problem with going to a small team.

The reason why he left F1 was more for the title of Indy 500 and to prove that he was "Liang Po is not old and can still eat."

Because in the field of equations, in addition to the three super Grand Slam honors of Le Mans, Indy, and F1, there is also a minor Slam honor, that is, conquering three top tracks, called the "Three Crowns".

These three are Le Mans 24 Hours, F1 Monaco Circuit, and Indy 500 Circuit.

It doesn’t take the entire season to finish. Being able to win the sub-station championship of these three tracks means a Formula driver who has a successful career success and put the crown of the three supreme tracks on his head.

In a sense, Zhang Yifei currently has only half a crown, which means conquering the Indy 500 event.

The Formula Century Battle at that time was not an official event after all, and the winner could not engrave the name on the Indy 500 BorgWarner Trophy. But seriously, there is no shortage of value, and it defeated almost all Indy annual champions in the past decade.

So it may be a bit too much to wear the entire crown on your head, and half of it is not an exaggeration.

Prost team Alonso is ready here, and Minardi team Bear Dragon, Jordan team Frenzen, Renault team Patton and Williams team Montoya are also preparing for testing.

As the annual champion of the Indian Local Forum, Montoya's debut in the winter test undoubtedly attracted many people's attention, but at the same time, many people will compare him.

Not to mention comparing with his old rival Zhang Yifei, at least it is inevitable to compare with last year's new champion Helio's lap speed. Montoya drove the Big Three car. If even his "school" could not compare, it would have a great impact on his strength evaluation this year.

Montoya also understood this. When he got on the racing car, he looked at the Renault repair station next door. Helio also stood at the door of the repair station. Facing Montoya's gaze, a provocative expression appeared on his face.

This is Helio's character, it's really the kind of idea of ​​being the only one in heaven and earth. Even if he is the champion of Indy Racing, he doesn't take it seriously. The opponent who is destined to defeat and surpass him, why should he bow his head and be humble?

Faced with Helio's eyes, Montoya's gaze became sharp. Failure may have polished many edges and corners on his body, but it never made him surrender completely. At least it was no more than a junior indy to despise and humiliate him!

Five drivers started to start one after another. Montoya is the most famous driver in the first three-wheel test, so the focus is basically on him. And this is also the debut of Williams FW24 racing in the new season. Other teams want to know what kind of chemical reaction will occur between BMW engines and Williams chassis this year.

After all, the new Ferrari, Renault, McLaren and Prost that have been tested before are all very good, and they have a feeling of competing for many players. If Williams' new racing car cannot show strong performance, then this year's new season will be difficult.

Five racing cars started to speed up, Montoya took the lead and rushed to the front, Alonso followed closely, followed by Minardi driver Xiong Long.

Last year, as Marquis was kicked out of the team halfway through, Xiong Long also became teammates with Alonso for several games in a short period of time, but he had no good impression of this Spanish boy.

It's fine if you don't get along with your personality. It's mainly because of the team's competition. The team's resources are often required to be tilted towards him. You should know that there is no difference between the number one and two drivers in the later stage of Minardi's team. Anyway, they are the same, so they can just compete fairly.

Alonso's behavior made Xiong Long very disgusted and did not achieve decent results. What kind of superstar do you really treat yourself as a car star?

So, in addition to feedback on racing adjustment, Xiong Long's test goal was to pass Alonso quickly. Let the "trash" kicked out by the team understand that he was not qualified to be tilted in team resources!

Xiong Long was very confident about this and he was well prepared, but when he learned from the team voice that Alonso ran 1 minute 23 seconds 566 from the first lap, he was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Boss, is this really Alonso's lap?"

You should know that Schumacher's first lap in the first test was only 1 minute 23 seconds 337, and Alonso was slower by more than 0.2 seconds. This is simply unscientific!

Normally, for a garbage driver like Alonso, who was at the bottom of last season, started at 1 second slower in the first lap of the first lap. Just like Xiong Long himself, the speed of the first lap of the first lap was 1 minute 24 seconds 434, which is the normal speed of the middle and lower-level drivers in the f1 paddock.

"Yes, that's his lap."

Minardi confirmed again in a cold tone, because he was also surprised in his heart. How did the Spanish rookie who performed in his team in a mess last year have achieved such a first-class driver's lap this year?

It is said that it is an improvement in strength, Minardi doesn’t believe that where can it be improved in just a few months of winter break?

Is racing performance improved?

To be honest, Minardi agrees that Prost's new racing car has good performance this year, but it is absolutely impossible to be so strong that a rookie driver can run into the ranks of first-class drivers.

After thinking about it, this can only be Alonso's touch burst. He wanted to prove himself in the first lap, so he had such an amazing lap speed.

Another driver who was equally surprised was Montoya of Williams.

When he first learned that he ran 1 minute 23 seconds 342 in the first lap, he was still very satisfied. However, the slight gap was inferior to Schumacher, Helio and Zhang Yifei, which meant that he was at the same level in strength and he was not left behind.

However, when Montoya learned about Alonso's lap speed from the team, his previous satisfaction mentality dissipated a lot. This driver who even Minardi didn't want was actually much slower than himself in the first test lap speed. How did he do it?

And soon another news hit Montoya's confidence, that is, Barton of Renault's team, and his lap speed was only slightly behind Alonso, and he could basically be said to be in the same level as himself.

fuck!

Patton is also a "trash" driver that Williams wants. Last season's performance is the same as Alonso. Did he take medicine this year? How could he run so fast?

If Alonso made great progress alone, it can be described as accidental. Even Patton is running so fast now, it only means that the once rookies have greatly improved their strength.

Moreover, Prost and Renault have certainly gotten rid of the "tractor" hat, otherwise, no matter what, these two people will not be able to run out of today's lap!

In fact, what Montoya didn't know was that Patton could run such an amazing lap, and his contribution.

Jenson Patton, the British driver, is known as the most invisible WDC. If he had not won the world championship, he would have been like a supporting role.

But the problem is that not showing personality does not mean lack of temper. Jason Patton was kicked out of the team by Sir Williams to give Montoya a place, which can be called a humiliation for anyone, let alone a proud F1 driver.

Patton has always wanted to find an opportunity to show his strength to the Williams team and prove that their vision was wrong at the beginning!

Last season, Renault just acquired the bankrupt Benetton team, which was in a state of incomplete development. It has not developed its own new racing car and has not integrated resources in all aspects, so Patton can only be the last driver.

But today is completely different. Renault team officially erected its flag, showing the strength and capital of the world's number one auto manufacturer. The new generation of Renault racing has strong performance and introduced a crazy man like Helio, which is also very helpful for improving the team's competitive atmosphere.

So this year, Patton can finally fully utilize his strength and let the world understand that he is not the garbage that has been swept out!

The two "trash"-level drivers on the track were filled with anger in their hearts, so they could run into such lap speed.

Not to mention that other teams were surprised by Alonso's speed, even Prost himself was surprised that he could run so fast.

"Alonso performed very well, much better than we expected."

Henry said to Prost with satisfaction that the team management had been purely a short man before, and the famous driver could not afford the transfer fee, so he chose Alonso, who was able to pass the rookie test.

But judging from his current performance, he is much better than expected and can take on the heavy responsibility of taking on the wingman and even the No. 2 driver, rather than being a drag bottle.

"It looks good, Fei, what do you think?"

Prost asked Zhang Yifei, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Although Zhang Yifei did not think of driver No. 2 as a wingman, it does not mean that the team management would think so.

The convoy is not a charity. When people have to make sacrifices for victory, the second driver can only be a wingman or cannon fodder, and has no choice. In Prost's eyes, Alonso serves Zhang Yifei, so he asked for his opinions.

"That's his strength."

Zhang Yifei replied indifferently, maybe the only person in the audience who was not surprised was him.

No one knows better than Zhang Yifei how strong Alonso is. This is a person who can end Schumacher and Ferrari dynasty. How can he be regarded as a garbage novices?

Alonso now is nothing more than showing the strength he already possesses and will be stronger in the future!

Facing Zhang Yifei's indifferent tone, Prost and Henry felt incredible. From beginning to end, he seemed very sure that Alonso was not a rookie and could show his strength.

But the question is, Alonso's rookie performance last year, even a driver like Minardi, who doesn't want at the bottom team, can he see that his strength is more than that?

Is it just a rookie test? I guess no one believes it. If Alonso can maintain his current strength and state, it can only be said that Zhang Yifei is too accurate in looking at people, with a genius level!

In fact, Alonso really kept his speed. After the first test, he successfully entered the 1 minute and 22 second field, and lagged behind Montoya by less than 0.2 seconds, and surpassed Masa's fastest lap speed before.

In addition, Montoya still surpassed Helio's lap in the first round with a advantage of five-thousandths, defending the dignity of his senior Indy.

This result made Renault's Helio feel very upset. He originally planned to win the fastest lap in the first round. If he had to lose to one person, then this person could only be Schumacher.

But now he is not only behind Schumacher, but also behind Zhang Yifei and Montoya. In particular, Zhang Yifei was the first to enter the field of 1 minute and 21 seconds, and is almost one level in terms of numbers.

With Helio's personality, he will not be inferior. This time he fell behind mainly because he suffered the losses from the first round of the first test. In the next few days of winter test, he will let the drivers on the track feel the crazy speed of the Indy champion!

Alonso drove the car back to the repair station. In the face of congratulations from the crew members, he was not only happy, but also shocked.

Only by actually running on the track once can you feel the gap between yourself and Zhang Yifei. With Alonso's personality, how did Zhang Yifei run into the 1 minute and 21 second field without adjustment in the first test?

"The first test performed well."

Zhang Yifei looked at Alonso who was walking into the repair station and congratulated him with a smile.

"You're really strong."

Alonso replied with a little difficulty. When he said this, it means that he completely recognized Zhang Yifei's strength.

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei's smile was still the same as usual, not particularly proud.

"You will be so strong in the future."

"Is this a polite or irony?"

Faced with Zhang Yifei's response, Alonso asked a question with caution.

In his thinking, the stronger he is, the threatening Zhang Yifei's status. In the conflict of interest, how could the other party truly agree with him?

Looking at Alonso's alert look, Zhang Yifei had a slight bitterness in his smile, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not that he's welcome, nor is it sarcastic, but that he agrees."

"You will really be so strong in the future."

After saying that, Zhang Yifei did not continue to talk to Alonso, but went to Cosel and discussed with him the content of tomorrow's test.
Chapter completed!
