The maintenance technician of the car crew was about to rush over to beat Helio, but was stopped by several members of the strategy team including Prost. After all, these maintenance technicians are strong men in their thirties and have good physical fitness all year round. If a few people make random punches, the matter will be a big deal.

At the same time, when Renault was in the distance, he saw Helio stopping at the Prost fleet repair station, his first reaction was actually shocked. But then he watched Prost's people surrounded him and looked like they wanted to do something, they also reacted and rushed over immediately.

Because no matter what happens, protecting your drivers is put first. Many times, as a team, it really doesn’t help you.

Helio was not scared by the people from the Prost convoy. After he pushed away his mask, he had a familiar and arrogant smile on his face.

He locked his eyes on Zhang Yifei and said in a provocative tone that made people feel uncomfortable: "Do you plan to admit defeat if you feel that you can't surpass me?"

Helio did not explain the specific matter, but everyone present knew what he wanted to say. Zhang Yifei currently ran the third fastest lap, only five-thousandths behind Helio.

To be honest, this backward gap is nothing even if it is used by the F1 standard. If it weren't for the technological development of speed measurement equipment that was excellent enough and the accuracy of 100 seconds ten years ago, this slight gap would not have been detected.

But slower means slower, and that's the truth. But now Zhang Yifei is no longer the fledgling rookie last year, and needs to use various competitive actions to show his presence.

Whether the fastest lap in winter test ranks second or third, there will be no media or car fans because this kind of test will question Zhang Yifei's strength.

Originally, Zhang Yifei planned to accept this result and end this year's winter test, but he didn't expect that Helio would actually challenge him in this way.

Don’t cause trouble, but you’re absolutely not afraid. It’s never Zhang Yifei’s character to admit defeat. Since the other party wants to make trouble, Zhang Yifei will be with him to the end!

At the same time, about twenty maintenance technicians from Renault repair station ran to Prost repair station, stood behind Helio's car, and confronted the members of the Prost crew.

The expressions on both members of the faces were not very good-looking, especially the members of the Prost crew. When they saw that the other party dared to come to the door, they even had a provocative effort, and they were quite stanced to fight if they had a disagreement.

However, Zhang Yifei did not show his anger or anger, but took a step forward and stood next to Helio's car.

His action made the members of the crew secretly clench their fists and prepare. If there was any conflict, they would go up and do it directly! Especially Ah Hu and Zhi Ge squeezed in front of Prost and the others, and showed a triangular position with Zhang Yifei.

This is their favorite way to fight against each other, fighting the tiger brothers and father and son soldiers. No matter what the final result is, will they be punished? Zhang Yifei can't bear this loss anyway!

At this time, Zhang Yifei bent down and said in a condescending position to approach Helio, who was sitting in the racing car.

"Are you qualified to say that you lose in front of me?"

He spoke indifferently and strongly, and did not take Helio seriously at all.

In terms of arrogance, Zhang Yifei is really not inferior to anyone. His label in the f1 paddock was also an arrogant and arrogant Chinese boy.

However, as his strength and fame improve, when he has a certain status and foundation, he speaks like a young man without any trouble, and lowers the level of "experts". Therefore, Zhang Yifei, who is in the later stage of his new career, basically does not provoke or speaks wildly.

But this does not mean that Zhang Yifei has no crazy foundation. Now he wants to let this American boy understand what I looked like at the beginning!

Zhang Yifei's condescending attitude made Helio feel very uncomfortable, and he felt completely crushed by the other party in terms of momentum. Moreover, Zhang Yifei's words also reminded Helio that as a defeated man in the local competition at the time, he was not qualified to be rampant in front of him!

So at this time, the provocative smile on Helio's face began to solidify, but as the Indy World Champion, he was not scared.

Yi Ran strongly resisted Zhang Yifei's pressure and said, "You can't afford to lose and start to turn over old accounts? Since you think you are very strong, you can surpass my lap speed if you have the ability."

The two of them confronted each other face to face, causing more convoys to focus on them.

"The good show is coming. I thought the Indy boy would keep a low profile in the F1 paddock for a while, but I didn't expect to provoke the driver so soon."

At the Minardi fleet repair station not far away, the boss Minardi looked at the conflict and said to Willy, the technical director beside him, his tone full of gloating.

He had no holiday with Zhang Yifei, but after receiving the influence of his son Madu and the collision of Xiong Long at the beginning of last season, he hoped that the Chinese boy would fall apart in his heart.

"Normal, Helio came here to fly."

Willie next to him replied, not much was unexpected.

Because everyone knows in the f1 paddock that Helio enters Formula One so quickly, there is definitely a factor in Zhang Yifei, and it accounts for a large proportion.

However, the two of them were in a state of peace and peace during the winter test, and the expected conflict did not happen.

It is understandable that Zhang Yifei didn't cause trouble. After all, he is the winner and he is also a "senior" of F1. Taking the initiative to do things instead lowers his level.

However, according to Hylio's arrogant personality in the Indian local program, it was a bit surprising that he could withstand the humiliation of last year's failure and did not cause trouble during the winter test.

Now it seems that Helio is still not a good-looking lamp. He is just waiting for an opportunity to surpass Zhang Yifei before he has the confidence to provoke with the capital!

"I just don't know if Fei will respond."

Willie then said, now that the winter test is over, the track is cleared less than half an hour.

Many teams that completed the test plan are ready to dismantle and transfer the repair station. There are currently few cars on the track and most of them have returned to the station. Hailio has chosen this time to provoke, which really makes Zhang Yifei a little uncomfortable to respond.

"Did you know about the driver flying today?"

Minardi's tone had a sour and confidence, and then continued, "This kid will definitely take it. Helio underestimated his madness!"

Just as Minardi said, Zhang Yifei faced Helio's active challenge and smiled again, and he smiled brightly.

"Do you really think I can't escape you?"

"Then let's run!"

The bright smile on Zhang Yifei's face reminded Helio of the most humiliating moment of his career on the Indy Raceway.

It is this contemptuous smile that declares the failure of himself and Indy Racing, making this Chinese man the conqueror of Indy 500!

Today, when I saw this smiling face again, anger, humiliation, dissatisfaction and other emotions, all came to Helio's heart. He endured the entire winter test, just to make the counterattack come at this moment!

"Okay, then I'll satisfy you. Just one lap, I will make you lose with the will of your heart!"

Zhang Yifei did not talk nonsense, agreed to Helio's challenge, and even said that it was enough to just run a lap!

In fact, even without Helio's provocation, Zhang Yifei was not very satisfied with his winter lap speed. Not only did he lose to Helio, but more importantly, he was very different from Schumacher, which was equivalent to a higher level.

The strongest enemy in Zhang Yifei's heart has never changed from beginning to end. He is Schumacher of Ferrari.

The man wearing a fiery red battle robe is the peak he must cross. Nowadays, Helio can be said to have given Zhang Yifei the opportunity and motivation, which ignited a raging battle flame in his heart.

In one lap, his target was not Helio, but Schumacher's record of 1 minute 21 seconds 055!

Of course, Helio could not know what Zhang Yifei was thinking. Except for Cosel's vague premonition, everyone was not sure about his thoughts.

"Come on, just one lane to decide the outcome!"

A kind of fanaticism appeared on Helio's face, and his heart was no longer humiliation and anger, but more of expectation. This is the essential difference between him and ordinary arrogant drivers.

Helio is arrogant and arrogant, and can even be said to not even understand basic politeness. He is like a spoiled naughty child living in his own world and doing everything in his own way.

But he is not afraid of challenges and even looks forward to constantly facing powerful opponents, which will make Helio feel excited and excited. Moreover, he can run the fastest lap to the fastest lap without any hesitation or calculating the gains and losses of interests.

In a sense, Helio is a crazy car believer, and his entire growth experience has nothing but racing. If you really want to find an analogy, it is like the group of motorcycle madmen on the Isle of Man TT. His life is pure racing, but Helio's quality is a bit poor.

Since it was decided, Zhang Yifei turned around and sat in the cockpit of the AP05 racing car again. At the same time, the members of the Renault crew also pushed Helio's r202 "yellow lightning" to their own repair station, preparing to run this last lap.

"This Indy boy is such a lunatic!"

In the Renault repair station, technical director Bob Bell looked at the Renault racing car pushed over and said helplessly to the team manager Briatoli.

After the seven-day winter test, everyone thought he was a normal person. As a result, the winter test was almost time to clear the track, and such a crazy provocation came.

If the two teams fought just now, I don’t know what punishment they would be subject to. It seems that no two teams have ever fought each other wildly in history. At most, there will be conflicts between drivers, and the team members are all persuading to fight.

"Most of the people who can win the championship in the f1 paddock are crazy."

Briatoli did not mean to blame Helio, but instead expressed a kind of approval and appreciation in his tone.

Senna is a madman. Prost, who claims to be conservative, has also been crazy on the Suzuka track. Schumacher is never soft in driving. Even the Chinese boy flies. Who dares to say that he is not crazy on the track?

Apart from the character that everyone is disgusted with, Briattoli attaches great importance to other parts, and even with his personality, he feels he can accept it.

After all, this team manager has been with Alonso in his later generations, and his hatred is almost comparable, so it is not surprising that he can accept Helio.

Facing the remarks of manager Briatoli, Bale is not good at saying anything. Whether he likes Helio or not, as a member of Renault and the designer of the R202 racing car, he must ensure the victory in the last lap.

This is not only for Renault, but also for itself. There is no technical director, hoping that the racing car he developed is slower than others!

On the other hand, Prost team was also preparing in full swing. Kossel did not express any ideas about Zhang Yifei's fight, but instead expressed his support with practical actions.

"The tires don't need to be replaced. Even if you use a thermal blanket to heat up, the optimal working temperature will not be reached in one loop."

"Calculate the amount of racing oil, only the minimum load oil is retained, and the weight of racing is as low as possible."

“Reduce the chassis height, adjust the pneumatic kit, and reduce the wind resistance.”

“The suspension is turned up support and improves cornering speed.”

After a series of commands, the adjustment of the ap05 racing car was all based on the limit speed. Try to let Zhang Yifei run at an amazing high speed in this last lap duel.

At the same time, Kossel also warned Zhang Yifei: "When cornering at low speed, there may be insufficient air pressure, and the racing car does not have enough grip, so the limit routing depends on your own grasp."

All Kossel's adjustments minimize the resistance coefficient, but the problem is that the resistance coefficient is not all an obstacle, and it also provides guarantees for racing safety and grip.

When choosing speed, you have to face risks and have higher requirements for drivers to control.

But now Zhang Yifei's strength has the capital to make Kossel's extreme adjustments. As for how to do it, it is Zhang Yifei's own business.

"I know."

Zhang Yifei in the cockpit nodded calmly. He had been used to this extreme challenge. He even felt a little excited. He never felt the tension and honor of the competition during the winter test, but now he felt a little bit!

Renault team repair station basically does the same thing. With the wild performance of Indy racing like Helio, he is not inferior to Cosell to the extreme.

Even some adjustment plans that the competition engineers hesitated about, Helio took the initiative to ask for, speed is the pursuit of life for drivers. If they cannot reach that extreme pleasure, it doesn’t mean much even if they win!

After the two racing cars were adjusted, they applied for a departure order from the track console. At the same time, the remaining winter test cars on the track were all entering the station and evacuated the track.
Chapter completed!
