"Yes, I have supporters, too."

Zhang Yifei followed Ah Hu's words and said, Compared to winning the runner-up after the last game and having all kinds of lottery draws, today's changes are really sad.

"As long as you have achievements, you will naturally have supporters. This is the law of competitive events."

Junko Takeda followed and said that the runner-up title of Monza Station made Zhang Yifei start to gain supporters.

"Maybe there is still feelings."

Zhang Yifei did not refute, but just added with a smile.

When they arrived at the repair station, the Toyota technical team had arrived early. They needed to inspect the racing car in advance to ensure that there would be no problems with Zhang Yifei's qualifying race next time.

Ah Hu and Chen Zhi joined them as soon as possible. The team English conversations these days have overcome many obstacles in their opening, and they can gradually communicate with each other with words and gestures.

Almost as soon as Zhang Yifei and his group arrived, Kossel also came to the maintenance station.

"How is it today?"

He first asked Zhang Yifei.

"good."

This morning, because of the competition, Cosell did not come to the hotel. It was a rare relaxation that Zhang Yifei had in the past few days and was in good condition.

"Did you remember all the track data?"

"Remember, it's not bad!"

Zhang Yifei specially put his tone on "very word-of-nothing", and he knew that this was what Cosell was concerned about.

"Very good. It's 2:55 now, and there are still 45 minutes left before going to the track. You can go to change your racing suits and prepare."

"Yeah, I understand."

Zhang Yifei nodded and went to the backstage to prepare for changing clothes. At the same time, Cosell came to Renault Racing and said to the Toyota technician team: "The suspension is adjusted to the hardest, and the downforce of the air kit will be enhanced."

"Teacher, why is the downforce of the air still increasing? This will not reduce the speed of the curve?"

Yamamoto Ukyo didn't understand why Kossel did this. Logically speaking, the starting speed of neutral tires is no longer as fast as that of soft tires. If the downforce is increased at this time, the speed of the previous few laps will be widened with that of soft tire players.

"The downforce of air will reduce the extreme acceleration after the bend, but it can also enhance the tire's grip in high-speed corners, make the cornering speed faster and more stable, and solve the grip defect before the neutral tire temperature rises."

"One more thing is that I called the Heidelberg Meteorological Observatory. The weather will turn cloudy in the next hour and accompanied by strong winds. The road temperature on the tree-lined track may cool down quickly, so you must ensure the grip of the curve."

The tree-lined track is different from the sun's road surface. It is only accompanied by changes in air temperature. And more importantly, the dense forest locks in the water of the land. Once the evaporation decreases, the tree-lined track temperature may be lower.

In this way, the temperature of Zhang Yifei's neutral tire rises more slowly, and the grip of the tree-shaded section is even more obvious than that of other soft tires. Therefore, strengthening the downforce of the air kit allows Zhang Yifei to reduce the risk of losing control when cornering at high speed.

"I see."

Yamamoto Ukyo nodded in admiration. They all rely on information sent by Renault when it comes to the direction of the weather, and they printed out the temperature changes for the day in the morning, and the timeliness was behind.

Weather forecasting is very difficult. Not to mention 1999, even after 20 years, it is very common to inaccurate weather forecasts.

Because the Elementary Formula Team is all newcomers without experience, it may be based on official data, but as a member of the F1 team strategy group, Kossell's requirements for weather changes are all within one hour.

So the error of predicting the temperature and weather changes in the morning and afternoon is too big.

Zhang Yifei changed into his racing suit and came out. Kossel explained to him the minor changes in racing tuning and told him to pay attention to the changes in the airflow inside the boulevard.

Because both sides are special relationships with forests, once strong winds occur on the stadium, the tree-lined track will easily have a wind tunnel effect, which will greatly affect the control of the racing car.

Therefore, when choosing when to change lanes or overtake or even turn corners at high speed, you must be mentally and unexpectedly prepared, and don’t start panic when you feel the decline in the stability of the racing car.

At 15:40, the Hoganheim Race Command Center issued instructions, and the drivers were ready to gather on the track departure area.

Hearing this order, Zhang Yifei put on his helmet and sat in Renault racing, and then the Toyota technical team began to ignite the car. It was not as nervous and solemn as before, and after saying cheers, Zhang Yifei started the car and headed to the starting area.

As for Cosel, he just nodded briefly at Zhang Yifei, then crossed the repair passage and isolation net with Ahu and the others, and walked towards the departure area and waited for Zhang Yifei to drive over.

This time, Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto did not go to the departure preparation area like Monza Station before, but instead found their position.

Before the race, the driver only needs to communicate with his own racing engineer and chief technician. The team manager and data analyst's race priority is actually lower. Therefore, there is no need to go to the track, just stay in the repair station to monitor the racing data.

Zhang Yifei drove the Renault Racing out of the P room and headed towards the maintenance track in front. Through this maintenance track, he entered the starting area of ​​the main track.

But at this moment, he saw a 19-digit symbol attached to the body of the car in front of him. There is no doubt that this is the Madu number that wants to overtake forcibly but ultimately fails to break out of the track.

It's really a narrow road for enemies.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Yifei's mouth, and then he stepped on the accelerator. The racing car was just a slow car burst out with powerful power, and instantly caught up with the No. 19 car in front of him.

Compared to the main track that is more than ten meters wide, there is not even half of the maintenance passage. Under normal circumstances, a single car passes through. There has never been any overtaking here, which is not allowed by the rules.

Moreover, the order of starting in the qualifying race is irrelevant. After all, it only looks at the fastest lap speed in half an hour. Who starts first and who comes back and forth will have no effect at all. Therefore, everyone enters the main track in the maintenance channel in sequence.

Madu also followed the car in front and was preparing to enter the starting area of ​​the main track, intending to show his strength in this qualifying competition.

You should know that the previous station, Monza branch, made Madu very angry. I thought that overtaking on a curve would make me win the Chinese rookie who came out of nowhere, but I didn't expect that the boy was not weak at all. Instead, he couldn't control himself from the curve and rushed out of the track and was eliminated directly.

He didn't even have the qualification to enter the main competition, so he naturally couldn't get points for the main competition. In fact, this is not the most important thing. After all, Madu had often failed to achieve results in the middle and mid-range professional competitions, so he had long been used to it.

But this time he was "counter-killed" by a Chinese rookie, which made him feel a sense of humiliation and kept thinking about revenge.

The result really made him find an opportunity, which was the previous street fight. Madu used his father's influence to contact several tabloid media and smeared Zhang Yifei, which was a pity in his heart.

But the Chinese guy was so lucky that he found the dv video of the conflict at that time. With the public relations of Toyota behind it, his image turned over, which made Masa feel unhappy again. He planned to let the Chinese guy understand his awesomeness this time.

Madu's abacus was still striking, but the roar of the engine pulling up the speed came from his ears. You should know that because of the stuffy heat, drivers generally would not put their masks down before the official start.

So at this time Madu was very strange. Why did someone step on the heavy accelerator in the maintenance passage? Could it be that the engine is tested?

But theoretically, it shouldn't be. It's about warm beads immediately. If there are any problems, you should also test them in warm beads instead of on the current maintenance track.

So Madu subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror. Even though the mask was not put down, it was still difficult to see the face clearly. However, the number of the racing car 13 behind undoubtedly told Madu who was coming.

In the entire 2000 European Cup of Renault, no one would choose the number 13. Only Chinese rookies will not care about 13. There is no doubt that this is a provocation from Chinese people to themselves.

That's right, this is Zhang Yifei's provocation. He has always been very restrained before. Although the track is radical, he is not arrogant. Compared with those F1 seniors who simply crashed directly, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as a good young man.

But the despicable methods behind Madu made Zhang Yifei feel disgusted. As a driver, if there is any problem that can be solved on the track, relying on this slander of reputation behind it is really a villain's behavior.

Zhang Yifei never thought he was a soft persimmon, and said that he would press Madu to the ground to rub it, so he had to rub it.

So Zhang Yifei didn't wait until the qualifying match began, and the maintenance channel began to provoke directly.

The two cars lined up side by side. Zhang Yifei stepped on the clutch and cut off the power, and once again stepped on the deep accelerator, making the engine roar.

At this time, Madu turned his head and looked at Zhang Yifei with his eyes viciously. He had never expected that this Chinese guy would dare to provoke so arrogantly. This might be the first Asian driver on the European track to make such a provocative move.

Zhang Yifei also looked at Madu, his eyes full of arrogance. He just wanted to tell Madu that he would definitely take him today!

This rare scene in the stadium also made other drivers look at each other. As a result, they saw that the No. 13 car Fei and No. 19 car Madu were side by side, and it was the Chinese driver Fei who took the initiative to provoke it, which was beyond the expectations of many people.

Because the drivers here all know the accident between the two people in the qualifying competition, but judging from the results, Zhang Yifei laughed to the end.

In theory, to take revenge, Madu went to find Zhang Yifei, but the situation is completely reversed now. Is this really the style of an Asian driver?

On the main track, Cosell also saw Zhang Yifei's inexplicable behavior. He cut the channel and asked Yamamoto Ukyo: "What's the situation with Fei?"

"Previously, the driver No. 19, Madu, maliciously overtakes Yifeijun on the track, almost causing an accident, but he ends up running out of the track. Later, he seized the opportunity to use the media to discredit him, so there was a grudge between the two."

"But don't worry, mentor, I'll communicate with Yifeijun and let him pay attention."

Yamamoto Ukyo was worried that Zhang Yifei's actions would leave a bad impression on his mentor. After all, he is only a "temporary" identity now and cannot be regarded as a member of the team.

If Kossel is dissatisfied with this kind of thing, or even unwilling to join the team and become a competition engineer, it will be more than worth the loss.

"No, just do it."

"ah?"

"What, it's just a provocation when I kicked the accelerator. If I were young, I would have knocked this kid out of the track!"
