When Zhang Yifei heard Kossel's inexplicable words, he was a little surprised. Who else would come to find him so late?

With this question, Zhang Yifei came to the hotel's small conference room. He had learned racing theory from Cosell before, which was more appropriate than meeting directly in the room.

When I opened the conference room door, there were several people standing in front of the office desk. One of them was naturally the "Cosell" who disappeared directly after the qualifying match in the afternoon.

There were two foreign men beside him, the older one was wearing casual clothes and looking at Zhang Yifei who was pushing the door open with a smile on his face.

The other one is a young man in a suit and ties. He was standing behind the elderly with a briefcase in his hand, with no special expression on his face. Judging from this posture, Zhang Yifei guessed that he should be the secretary or assistant of the elderly.

Faced with this scene, Zhang Yifei kept speculating on the other party's identity in his head. With Cosel's experience and identity, and his current profession, he could narrow the scope to a very small extent.

If Zhang Yifei is not wrong, these two should be the management of the professional team, or higher-level bosses and sponsors.

As a team boss, what you need is a keen business vision, and seizing the initiative is one of the basic skills. I guess the runner-up of Monza Station and the pole position at Hoganheim Station are now allowing some team bosses to begin to discover their potential, so they plan to contact them in advance.

In fact, this is also a normal thing. After the triple jump of Kimi Renault, not only the drivers wanted to copy the miracle, but even many team owners focused on the junior event.

You should know that in the Formula team, not only the giants like Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes-Benz, but also many small teams with a much worse strength.

For example, the arrows of this era, Minardi, and even the more well-known Sauber team can only be regarded as small teams with poor technical and financial strength.

Well-known drivers cannot dig and cannot find a big sponsor to pay for the money. If they want to get better results, they can only focus on potential stocks.

For example, new stars appearing in f3 and f3000 levels, signing them to their own teams in advance to become test drivers, and they may be future superstars in the car world.

But the problem is that events like f3000 have a lot of influence and can be regarded as a secondary league in f1. There are no individual paid drivers who can enter f3000 levels, and they have already joined the team.

Another more important point is that the f3000 team, although it is not as good as f1, is not a miscellaneous army, and many of them are even the second team of the f1 team.

If you want to poach from here, you still have to pay expensive transfer fees, which is still unacceptable for some poor teams.

Who knows if the drivers who spent a lot of money to dig up would be a fancy way? After all, there are a lot of advanced equations in history, and few people are truly famous in F1. The small team originally lacked funds, so there is no capital to bet.

So some small teams began to look down and enter the primary formula of the Renault series, hoping to find potential seeds.

The reason why Kimi Raikkonen was able to soar from the primary equation to the F1 Sauber team was because Sauber team had the lowest grades in recent years and had no money to poach strong drivers, so they could only choose to buy lottery tickets and select drivers from newcomers.

I have to say that Sauber team is full of luck. Whether it is Kimi who signed the contract before or Masa who signed the contract later, they are all considered first-class among F1 drivers and have had their own glorious period.

When Zhang Yifei thought of this, he was a little excited. Could it be that the F1 team has the potential to be attracted by and plans to come and sign a contract with him?

I thought I would search for something without any effort when I entered the F1 fleet. But I didn't expect that the boss came to me and it was really easy to get it.

"Fei, let me introduce you to you. This is the founder of the German Adenauer team, Funke Adenauer, next to his assistant Thor."

After Cosell introduced, Adenauer reached out to Zhang Yifei and said, "Hello, Fei."

Adenauer fleet?

When Zhang Yifei heard this name, he was a little stunned. Is this the F1 team?

In his previous life, Zhang Yifei was not very familiar with equations, but in this life, he had almost been a year since he came into contact with karts.

I dare not say that I know everything about the Formula Team, but the F1 Team has only a dozen teams, and it is still okay to call them all.

Zhang Yifei really had no impression that there was a team called Adenauer in the F1 fleet.

However, Zhang Yifei was only stunned for a moment. Facing Adenauer's hand, he quickly grabbed it and smiled politely: "Hello, Mr. Adenauer."

After saying that, Zhang Yifei shook hands with Adenauer's assistant Thor.

After saying hello, several people sat down along the conference table. Everyone knew in their hearts that the next time was time to talk about the serious business.

Cosell has always had a more direct personality, so he said straight to the point: "Fei, Adenauer is an old friend I met when I was in McLaren."

"In the early years, Ardenner was a Le Mans driver. After retiring, he formed the F3 team. After years of development, he has also developed an F3,000 team."

"He happened to watch the game at Hoganheim Station today. He was surprised that I appeared in the starting area of ​​the track, so he contacted me and chatted after the race."

After hearing this, Zhang Yifei understood one thing. No wonder he didn't find Cosel after the game. It turned out that this is the reason.

"But these are not the point. The main reason why Adenauer came here today is because he saw your performance at Hoganheim. He is very satisfied with your strength, so he wants to talk to you about whether he has any idea to join the European team."

Just as Zhang Yifei had guessed before, Adenauer indeed invited himself to join the team.

However, Zhang Yifei felt a little disappointed. He thought that the F1 team would come to negotiate today, preferably at the McLaren team level. After all, Kossell came out of McLaren team, so maybe it would be a little bit related.

If you really can't do small teams like Sauber, you can accept them. Whether it's Kimi or Masa, it's not a cheating thing, and you have the qualifications to become your teammate.

After all, f1 racing is not a one-person game, and it is difficult to play without strong teammates. Zhang Yifei still dreams of one day being able to stage a song of ice and fire with Schumacher of Ferrari in advance.

But the reality is cruel. Just the founder of the f3000 team came to negotiate. Kimi's three-level jump miracle is still difficult to replicate after all, and McLaren team doesn't look down on newcomers like itself.

But then again, being able to skip f3 and directly enter f3000 can be considered a leapfrog development. At least this is something that Zhang Yifei dared not think about before entering Renault.

I can only say that as my strength and knowledge improve, Zhang Yifei feels that he is really a little inflated and always thinks about the F1 team.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Yifei confirmed: "Mr. Adenauer, are you invited me to join as the F3 team or as the F3000 team?"

Facing Zhang Yifei's inquiry, Adenauer smiled, then looked at Zhang Yifei and said, "It depends on your strength, but I can provide you with the contract of the Adenauer F3000 team test driver."

Just a test driver contract? After hearing this, Zhang Yifei still had a faint smile on his face, and he was not very satisfied.

Because the test driver is the lowest among all the drivers in a team. To put it nicely, it is considered a substitute, but to put it badly, it is a "temporary worker".

Generally speaking, the Formula Team is composed of two formal drivers, one of whom is the boss and the absolute main driver.

The identity of the No. 2 driver is relatively complicated. It can become the strongest teammate or the most terrifying opponent. This change in identity is determined by the strength of the No. 2 driver.

If the reputation and strength of the No. 2 driver are significantly different from that of the No. 1 driver, then it is likely that it will be the life of a wingman, who will take on the responsibility of "white gloves" for the team's performance.

For example, helping driver No. 1 seize the position and escort it, or even deliberately slowing down to press the car, blocking threatening drivers from other teams, allowing driver No. 1 to pull the advantage of the car distance, etc.

We must also be unambiguous when we should give up our position and be willing to become a green leaf player.

It can be said that in this case, the No. 2 driver is the most reliable partner, showing the team nature that a team should have.

But the problem is that being able to become a F1 driver is all the best on earth.

Being arrogant and arrogant is the hidden character of every F1 driver. How could a strong man willingly be a surrender?

So those No. 2 drivers who are strong and feel that they are not inferior to No. 1 drivers start to make trouble. They have no awareness of being a wingman at all, and show their strength on the track to challenge the No. 1 driver’s position.

After all, I run fast with my ability, so why should I be your younger brother?

Moreover, there is only one position for driver No. 1. If driver No. 2 wants to make a comeback, he either transfers to other teams or replaces driver No. 1, and has no other choice.

So on the F1 track, you can not only see different teams chasing each other, but also see crazy competition among drivers in the same team.

Teammates who were still fighting side by side the moment before may become the most terrifying competitor in the next moment.

But no matter how the number one and two drivers compete, they are all formal drivers with a chance to play. If there is any accident, there will be a third driver to take the bench.

Only some small teams with no money will be the third driver and the test driver alone, otherwise the test driver will have no chance to play at all.

This is much worse than the team's bench players, and even the guardian of the water dispenser. At least these can still touch the ball during garbage time.

If it is a test driver for the F1 driver, Zhang Yifei will consider it. After all, he can enter F1 and complete the legendary "three-level jump".

But Zhang Yifei really looked down on the test driver contract for f3000. He felt that he could win a formal driver contract based on his strength.

"Cosel, what do you think?" Zhang Yifei asked Cosel.

"You don't have to consider my opinion. Treat this as a business negotiation. If you think it is good for yourself, sign a contract, and refuse if you don't have any interests."

Cosel is still very popular and speaks very bluntly.
