239 Challenge the Miracle
"...What's wrong with this world? It's so crazy. Will Williams team give a new driver and f1 test driver contract?"
"I can't believe that Prost is so confused. Is Sir Williams blind?"
"Is the Chinese boy so powerful? Prost and Williams' team are interested in it at the same time?"
"What a shame. Isn't there a single driver in Europe who can stop the Chinese? They're all useless!"
In addition to the responses from the audience and car fans, there was also a driver in the driver's room looking at the big screen on the track and clenched his fists angrily.
This person is Dixon. He never expected that the member of the Williams Driver Development Plan, whom he was proud of, would be worthless in front of Zhang Yifei.
To put it bluntly, even youth training drivers are not as good as the F1 development driver identity that Ghosn gave Zhang Yifei before.
But for a kart driver like Dixon, he is definitely the top leader in Williams' development plan and can only be qualified.
If Dixon scored well in the Renault Formula this time, he might become a development driver for Williams Racing and his future is bright after running.
Dixon has no doubt about his future entry into the F1 team. But today all his pride and confidence were smashed into pieces in the answers of Prost and Williams.
It turns out that the Chinese drivers I looked down upon before can already get the contract between the official driver of the F1 and the test driver, leaving himself behind far away.
Anger, humiliation, dissatisfaction and other emotions surged into Dixon's heart. He didn't think he was worse than Zhang Yifei, so why was the treatment so much different?
If possible, Dixon really wanted to rush into the track command center and questioned Prost and Williams in person what he was worse than this Chinese boy. Is it because he didn't win the qualifying round?
Of course, this kind of face-to-face questioning scene is impossible. Dixon took a few deep breaths and calmed down his emotions. He understood that all the resentment and unwillingness were meaningless to these F1 bosses.
If you want them to regret it or look at it with admiration, you must prove yourself with your grades on the track.
This time, Dixon will no longer follow Zhang Yifei driver slowly like the qualifying competition. He will not give this Chinese kid any chance!
Not only Dixon, but many other drivers at the maintenance station were mixed with anger and jealousy. After all, a Chinese rookie they looked down upon before snatched away the light and attention of Renault's European Cup, and also received the attention of the F1 team boss, which really made them feel unacceptable.
At the same time, many people have made up their minds and cannot let Zhang Yifei win the sub-station championship or break the track record no matter what. This is not only to give himself anger, but also to the honor of European drivers!
"Sir Williams, you and Mr. Prost, today have brought shocking news. If it weren't for the start of the race, I really wanted to ask you why you were interested in the driver Fei at the same time."
"There will be a huge suspense on the track now, that is, will the driver Fei from China win the championship at Manicur Station and break the track record at the same time?"
"If he does all this, he will create a miracle in the European Cup in Renault, which is to jump from the Formula Elementary Driver to become an official driver of the F1 team! Whether we can witness this miracle this afternoon, let's wait and see!"
The competition time is approaching, and Ina can only say such a conclusion, so that the audience can turn their attention back to the track.
It is indeed as Ina said, all the audiences are now full of expectations and curiosity, whether they can witness a miracle of the elementary equation today.
If Zhang Yifei succeeds, he will surpass Kimi's record of entering the F1 team with 23 Formula games, because he only ran six games!
This record is unprecedented, and there is even a high probability that there will be no future. Zhang Yifei will create a history!
...
In the maintenance station, Zhang Yifei and his team members did not have the time to pay attention to the noise outside, and even praise and praise, Zhang Yifei didn’t have time to be proud of anything.
Because they came to Manicur Raceway, an unexpected situation occurred, that is, the Toyota technical team, which has always arrived in advance, did not come to the repair station today to prepare for the race car.
Zhang Yifei and the others were a little confused about this unexpected situation, because the Toyota technical team was there yesterday, and they also did the post-match maintenance work, so why did they suddenly not arrive today?
"Munko, what's going on? Is the Toyota technical team stuck in traffic on the road?"
Zhang Yifei came to the maintenance station and saw that there was no one in the world, he even joked with Junko Takeda.
Because the car had been completely inspected after the race yesterday, today it was just a little pre-race inspection work, and it was not a matter of whether Toyota's technical team was there or not.
"I don't know, it's theoretically impossible to get traffic jams. This is a suburb."
The Manicur Raceway is in the middle of Paris and Marseille, and it is impossible to have any racing problems. Moreover, Zhang Yifei and others have no racing cars when they leave the city from Paris. In theory, the Toyota technical team has to arrive at the track in advance, so it is even more impossible for traffic jams or something.
"I'll contact Toyota European Race Center to see what's going on."
After saying this, Junko Takeda took out her mobile phone and contacted Toyota's European Tournament Organization. Because Toyota's main campaign for Le Mans, the European Tournament Organization headquarters is located in France, so any problems can be solved better.
Kossel also leaned over at this time and said directly to Ukyo Yamamoto: "Ukyo, organize Ah Hu and Chen Zhi to inspect the racing, the Toyota technical team should not come."
"What's the meaning?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yifei felt a little confused.
"It is impossible for the technical team of professional events to make such low-level mistakes that are out of the field, so something important must have happened if they didn't come."
"According to the efficiency of general large companies, it will not be solved for a while. The competition will begin soon, and the racing maintenance will be carried out first."
When Yamamoto Ukyo heard this, he immediately asked Ah Hu and Chen Zhi to conduct pre-match inspections.
The Toyota technical team had already undergone maintenance last night, so the pressure on Ah Hu and the others was not too high, so they could handle it.
"By the way, replace it with super soft tires."
Cosell added that yesterday's qualifying match used normal soft tires, but today he planned to use super soft tires.
"Teacher, Yifeijun's performance was very good yesterday. Using soft tires can completely break the track record steadily. Is it necessary to take risks with super soft tires?"
Yamamoto Ukyo asked, "There is no problem for soft tires at yesterday's speed, and the last few laps of super soft tires will be at risk of losing control."
"Do you think using super soft tires is to break the track record?"
After saying this, a rare sneer appeared on Cosell's face.
"The purpose of my super soft tire is to fly in the first few laps and throw the opponent away as fast as possible, otherwise he might even be a problem for finishing the game."
Hearing this sentence, Yamamoto Ukyo had a solemn expression on his face. The encirclement on the track yesterday was still vivid in my mind. Perhaps for Zhang Yifei, the most terrifying thing was not to challenge the Manicur track, but to those opponents on the track!
"I understand the mentor. This stop depends on Yi Feijun's absolute hard power!"
Yamamoto Ukyo also knew that what Zhang Yifei had to face would be an extremely difficult tough battle, and even completing the game would be a problem if he was not careful.
Under such a threat, how can you still care about the risk of losing grip in the last few laps? Let’s run to the last few laps first!
Yamamoto Ukyo and several others quickly changed their tires and did all tests for the racing car. On the other hand, Junko Takeda walked over with a suspicion on her face.
"Yifeijun, I just asked the Toyota European Racing Organization about the technician team. Their reply was that Toyota Le Mans needed staff, so they temporarily transferred all the technical team back. Maybe this race would be absent."
"However, the European Toyota Racing Organization is the largest branch of the Toyota Racing Division. It has been competing in Le Mans and other endurance events all year round. The technical team is very large, and it is logical that there will be no shortage of manpower."
Junko Takeda was an assistant to Toyota Endurance Team before and was quite familiar with the scale of the Toyota race part. As Japan's largest automobile manufacturer and international giant manufacturer, the strength is beyond doubt, so this situation is a bit illogical.
"Let's put this aside for the time being. Ah Hu and his team have no problem dealing with pre-match maintenance. We will communicate with Toyota's European Tournament Organization after the game."
Zhang Yifei has no time to learn what happened to a big company like Toyota. The competition is about to begin, and he wants to change into racing suits to prepare.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Yifei changed his entire set of equipment and came out of the backstage. Yamamoto Ukyo also led Ah Hu and the others to replace the tires for Renault racing and do pre-race inspections to ensure that there will be no problems on the track later.
Cosel handed the helmet to Zhang Yifei, and then instructed: "You are pole position this time. If you try your best to take advantage of the super soft tire, you can throw your opponent behind at the beginning. Never give them any chance to block or even collide."
"I see."
Zhang Yifei nodded. He had experienced the qualifying competition once, but the other drivers were still restrained at that time, but they just surrounded them and did not have any malicious collisions.
But now everything is hard to say about the main competition. The best way to avoid risks is to leave all opponents far behind and not give them any chance!
At this time, a departure order came from the track command center. Before Zhang Yifei got into the car, Kossel patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder and said, "I believe in your strength, crush them on the track!"
Chapter completed!
