Listening to Cosel's firm tone, Zhang Yifei didn't say anything, because everyone's standards were different. This was originally a matter of a thousand Hamlet in the eyes of a thousand people.

For me, Senna and Schumacher are both very strong, and "Car God" is just a habitual honorific title. Just like in later generations, various industries call it "Great God", it doesn't have to be distinguished.

However, this also reminded Zhang Yifei, that is, Schumacher's historical achievements, it is just the beginning of this world. The great cause of the seven-champion champion is the foundation for his title of God of Cars, and this world has not yet happened.

Therefore, you should pay attention to this habitual title and you should not say it casually.

On the track, as many people expected, Schumacher began to attack Alessi, and Alessi also defended tenaciously, putting Schumacher on his drivers.

The fierce struggle between the two people was completely invisible, and it was more like a duel in a formal game.

I have to say that Alessi still has an advantage in veterans' experience, and may not be as good as Schumacher in absolute speed, but in defense, even a person with a car-level god-level figure like Schumacher is difficult to surpass in the past.

This scene also made Zhang Yifei find some comfort. After all, he was not that bad. He was blocked by Alessi for so long. After all, isn’t even Schumacher unable to surpass him?

In this way, the two cars fought on the track for a full lap, but on the third lap, they arrived at the Elf corner of the Catalonia track. This curve is the best viewing position on the entire track, because in this Elf corner similar to the S-bend, it is one of the few opportunities to overtake!

At this time, Schumacher began to cut into the bend, then rode on the shoulder at a very fast speed, using the reverse s exit, which is also the entry point of the next bend, and achieved a faster entry than Alessi, directly seizing the advantage and entering the bend route, and finally completing the overtaking.

It can be said that Schumacher's move into the corner, grabbing the line, and overtaking were completed in one go. Even if the cars of both sides were very close for a moment, and when there was a possibility of a collision, Schumacher did not pause or slow down.

This also shows that Schumacher is very confident in the distance and route choice. He has calculated the route location of Alessi. Unless Alessi deliberately bumped into him, he will definitely be able to overtake successfully.

In fact, the same is true. This beautiful overtaking made many technicians watching the team unable to help but cheer and exclaim. The F1 drivers here are not weak, but it is not easy to complete the overtaking action so beautifully.

However, the next scene on the track made Zhang Yifei a little confused. That was, Alaisi's car was getting slower and slower after passing the corner, and finally stopped directly on the track.

What's going on? Could it be that Alaisi lost after being overtaken and did not have the will to win or lose, but he didn't even have the motivation to finish the test?

In the second half of last year's F1 season, when Prost's team was at the bottom of the bottom, many things have indeed happened that they will not run if there is any problem.

But today Alaisi still has fighting spirit. His diligence in training during the winter break was not inferior to that of ordinary new drivers. Both Zhang Yifei and Kossel believed that fighting spirit was back to this veteran.

Could it be that as soon as I lost today, my fighting spirit was defeated by Schumacher?

If this is true, Zhang Yifei will have a headache. The F1 event is not a lonely fight, but requires the cooperation of his teammates.

Even if you are not a wingman, deliberately slowing down to block your opponent, having a cooperative teammate on the track can at least help share the firepower. More importantly, in addition to the driver's championship, the team's championship is also very important.

This is not just a matter of collective honor. If the team can have a championship title, the more attention and sponsorship it will receive. The top-salary drivers can get better salary and share of the team. Even if the team like Zhang Yifei does not share the team with themselves, the team can still buy better racing engines and create a better racing chassis when the team has money.

A stronger F1 car is also a powerful weapon for drivers to compete for championships. Therefore, drivers and teams achieve each other. If possible, Zhang Yifei certainly hopes to work together and get better results in the F1 paddock.

Instead of meeting a "veteran" who has no fighting spirit and just wants to wait for retirement, this will affect the atmosphere of the entire team.

Just as Zhang Yifei was full of questions, Alaixi's voice finally came from the headset. He said in an unwilling tone: "The racing car has malfunctioned, and it may have exploded."

The cylinder exploded? Zhang Yifei was surprised when he heard Alaisi's response. He didn't expect that Alaisi was parked next to the track because of the racing failure and the cylinder exploded.

Historically, Peugeot engines have a very bad reputation, and they have only supplied the Prost fleet and have never entered the F1 supply chain again.

However, Peugeot Engine performed well in the later generations on the Le Mans track, and even won the Le Mans 24 Hours Endurance Championship.

It is precisely because the reliability is too poor, and Peugeot does not want to be affected by the Prost team to its reputation, so the two sides later had a very unpleasant fight in history. In the end, Peugeot unilaterally interrupted the supply of engines, which led to the Prost team choosing the Ferrari engine.

The Ferrari engine is good, otherwise Ferrari would not have won an astonishing six consecutive championships in the past six years.

But I don’t know if the Ferrari takeaway is a “shrinkable version”. After the Prost team changed the dressing, although it was stronger than the previous Peugeot engine’s zero-eat egg, it was not much stronger. In the end, he only scored 4 points in one season.

However, with these 4 points, Prost team rose from last to third to last, with a 1-point archer team and Minardi team that still eats eggs.

It is conceivable that Minardi's mentality was collapsed at this time. He had agreed to hold hands and get the bottom of the eggs, but now you hold Ferrari's thigh and win 4 points, completely ignoring the friendship between brothers and brothers in the past.

So after Prost went bankrupt, Minardi also took over Red Bull's thigh and was acquired and became Red Bull's second team.

"Trailer on the track and pull the car back for testing first."

Chief technician Charlie issued an order, and the Prost technician team quickly took action and used a trailer to tow the js53 racing car that had exploded on the track back to the repair station.

The test racing cars were already like this, so Zhang Yifei was naturally not interested in watching how Schumacher ran. He came to the trailer and looked at the engine part of the JS53 racing car, and was constantly dripping oil downward. This typical feature of the explosion cylinder.

To be honest, it is really uncommon to explode the cylinder on the F1 track. To be precise, the explosion is one of the most faults in the F1 racing car. Without turbocharge, with the "small" displacement of 3.0l, it will squeeze out nearly a thousand horsepower, which must be done on the premise of losing the engine life.

Think about the American 4.6l large-displacement Ford Mustang Cobra that Zhang Yifei drove before, it is already a high-performance engine, and its power is only over 300p. The power of the F1 engine has increased by more than triple, so the natural failure rate is not much lower.

"Alessi, tell me what happened to the racing failure."

Charlie's expression on his face was a bit serious. Although it is common for F1 racing cars to explode, the test car exploded directly when it was tested on the track for the first time in winter, which still had a big hidden danger.

If this is not an accident, but the engine itself has problems with stability, then the trouble will be even greater.

Prost was at the bottom last season, resulting in a financial crisis in the team and a gap with Peugeot.

If the results of this season have not been broken, the only remaining sponsors may have to consider their influence. It will be even more difficult for Prost to attract sponsorship, and the team will arrive at a real life and death moment.

"There is no problem starting and speeding up. Later, when I was fighting with Schumacher, in order to ensure the advantage of speed, I basically stepped on the accelerator and heavy racing car. I felt that the engine's power response was a little problem."

"When I came to Elf's corner, Schumacher chased after him. When I kicked the full throttle and was about to block it, I heard an abnormal noise from the engine, and then the oil pressure gauge began to drop rapidly. I knew the engine was malfunctioning. This feeling was exactly the same as the engine failure last season."

“Exactly the same?”

Charlie's face was a little ugly at this time. The racing failure problem of last season also put a lot of pressure on the team's technician team.

I thought Peugeot had provided a new engine this year and also reduced some parameters, so that the engine pressure would be smaller and the stability would theoretically be improved.

Unexpectedly, the engine still had a cylinder explosion problem. If this was the same problem as last year's F1 season, then there was only one possibility. The racing engine provided by Peugeot has fundamental design flaws and is not something that can be felt by reducing performance parameters.

Moreover, this so-called new engine does not seem to be redeveloped and manufactured, but is transformed based on the previous engine, so the cylinder failure process is exactly the same.

"Let's do this, let's remove the racing engine first to find the problem. If it really has something to do with the engine, we can only report to the boss and ask him to negotiate with Peugeot."

"Um."

Alaixi nodded without answering, and it was obvious that the racing failure made him feel bad.

Zhang Yifei, who was standing aside at the same time, felt an indescribable irritability in his heart.
