Schumacher won the kart championship when he was a teenager and was praised by Mercedes-Benz to support him in F3 and RV events.

He entered F for the first time in 9 years, but his performance was not very good. He only represented Jordan's team participating in the Belgian Grand Prix and withdrew from the race before he even finished the first lap.

However, in the 1992 season, it can only be said that the God of Cars is the God of Cars after all, and the traits of the genius drivers began to show. Schumacher stepped on the podium and won the first sub-stop championship in his life. At the end of the season, he ranked third in total points.

You should know that this is Schumacher's real rookie season, and he has achieved such an amazing result, so it is not an exaggeration to call Schumacher a super rookie.

Just two years later, the super newcomer became a super star, challenging the long-standing car god Senna on the track, and eventually causing that tragic accident.

It can be said that Schumacher is a German driver with great offensive desire and ambition, and he was even accused of being able to do his best to win the championship. So Zhang Yifei's current actions allowed him to see the shadow of his first newcomer stage.

Every driver present had a period of youthful and frivolous life, so Schumacher would not take this kind of remark at all. He even hoped that Zhang Yifei could use his strength to prove his remarks and challenge himself on the track!

Zhang Yifei's remarks naturally aroused the heat of the scene. Many reporters wanted to get more content from him in the future.

But after Zhang Yifei said this, he even entered the "Finnish Iceman" mode with a faint smile, and no longer made any arrogant remarks.

Because the effect and popularity that Zhang Yifei wants have reached, he believes that his arrogant remarks today will definitely become one of the hot spots in the new season of F.

Public opinion is very false, but its influence is real.

The hot topics of the Gemini Battle, the arrogance of Chinese drivers, the strength of super newcomers, etc., all represent the audience's desire to witness these happenings on the track.

Kimi was able to get special approval because his lap speed was exposed after the winter test, which made his influence reach its peak. Many viewers are looking forward to it and want to see how this new driver in F has performed on the F track.

Fia's biggest source of income is the copyright and advertising revenue sold to TV stations, and the audience ratings represent God. Therefore, everything is weak, and the impact and popularity caused by Kimi is the key to the special approval of a super driver's license.

Originally, Zhang Yifei no longer planned to use public opinion influence like Renault to increase his popularity. After all, this thing can easily become a double-edged sword.

But what I saw just now made Zhang Yifei understand that the super driver's license has not been completed. Although Alessi said that Prost would definitely be solved, Zhang Yifei did not want any accidents and did not want to become a green light driver, so he decided to make a fuss.

If this is not enough to put pressure on Fia to approve a super driver's license, then Zhang Yifei can't say anything.

The main part of the driver meeting is not interviewed by reporters, but allowing fans to face their favorite drivers.

As the interview session ended, the staff began to let fans in in batches. This session was very similar to the celebrity meetings of later generations, but it was not as screaming as the fanatical young ladies in the entertainment industry.

However, Zhang Yifei soon discovered that it was not without the screams of the young lady, but his fans did not!

Because he saw Kimi Raikkonen not far away, surrounded by a large group of female fans, screaming wildly as he wanted to take a photo with him and sign his autograph.

Zhang Yifei also has a lot of fans, but most of them are Chinese, and they are mainly big men.

This may also be related to the current racing environment in China. Those who can pay attention to F events are all men. Moreover, Zhang Yifei did not get any results in the F field, and his popularity did not reach the national popularity of Liu Xiang in later generations, so naturally there were not many female fans.

"Yifei, come on, you are the pride of our China!"

"Zhang Yifei, you must achieve results in F, so that these foreigners can see that our Chinese drivers are not weak!"

"I took a flight for more than ten hours and arrived in Melbourne at 8 am. I was so excited that I never could imagine a Chinese driver who could stand on the F track to say such things!"

"Fei, the winter test results are very good, you didn't disappoint us!"

"Brother Fei, I believe you will definitely win the championship and become our Chinese car god!"

...

The sound of cheering and encouragement came over, making Zhang Yifei throw away all his envy for Kimi female fans.

The faces in front of me include Chinese from Australia, but they have been on the plane for more than ten hours just to say cheers to myself at the F driver meeting.

These people came to Australia from thousands of miles away because they had a Chinese F driver, which made them feel proud and proud.

They wanted Zhang Yifei to feel the power of support, rather than being alone, alone in a foreign country and fighting in a strange track.

"Thank you, I won't let you down."

Zhang Yifei replied with a choked tone. He had received a lot of cheers and applause, but he had never had such close contact with car fans or fans who supported him.

The faces in front of them are so real, and their hopes and desires are written in their eyes.

There has never been a Chinese driver in the entire international racing event. You should know that this is an event that represents speed and passion, and it also reflects the strength of a country's automobile industry. Many Chinese people have been looking forward to it for too long.

Now, the highest palace in the world racing field, has finally welcomed a Chinese driver, waiting to witness and conquer!

After the drivers' meeting, a brief period of calm entered. This period is used to adjust the driver's status, because soon the first stop of the new season, Albert Park Station, Australia, will start.

On Thursday, the day before the start of the training match on Friday, Prost handed it to Zhang Yifei with a super driver's license with Zhang Yifei's name and photo. After taking the specially approved super driver's license, the stone in Zhang Yifei's heart finally fell to the ground.

It also means that from this moment on, Zhang Yifei is considered a truly complete F driver. After all, without a super driver's license, Zhang Yifei cannot participate in any F event. It can only be considered a nameless and untrue relying solely on the contract with Prost drivers.

Everything is ready, and it will be Friday soon. This is the time for the first round of F and the official start of the game.

However, today is not the main competition time, nor is it the qualifying match, but the practice match that Zhang Yifei has never been exposed to and has not had in Formula Elementary!

A complete F-even event should actually be composed of five games, including two practice games on Friday, plus the last practice game held a few hours before the qualifying event on Saturday.

Compared with qualifying competitions and main competitions, practice competitions are often ignored. Even some domestic F events broadcast directly omit the practice competitions, and there is no way to see the practice competition situation at all.

But for a F sub-station event, practice competition represents the foundation. You should know that F is the world's highest technological and industrial level event, and every year the racing car will be significantly upgraded and modified.

Unless there is really no money or something major accident has happened to the team, it is too late to develop a new racing car. Otherwise, which team will use the same model of F racing to participate in the two-year F racing event.

Because once the car is not upgraded or modified, you will be far behind your opponent in the next year and have no competitiveness at all. Just like the new JS53 racing car driven by Zhang Yifei, the power parameters are not as good as the old JS5 racing car.

But the actual speed on the track is not slower than that of old racing cars. This is because the new js53 racing car has been transformed and upgraded in many places, and has enhanced the stability of the racing to a certain extent.

Even in history, on the eve of the closing of the Prost team, the latest model of the AP05 prototype was developed. However, with the team's bankruptcy liquidation, the prototype was auctioned and there was no chance to drive on the track.

Officially due to the upgrade and transformation of the racing car, some of the team's previous track adjustment data may not be able to adapt to new racing cars. Therefore, the purpose of the practice race is to use this short few hours to allow team engineers to evaluate the track attributes, and then use the driver's feedback to train the most suitable racing state.

If many teams have confidence or formal drivers are in poor health, this kind of practice race will also allow the test drivers to complete. However, one or two of them can be completed, and the last formal drivers will be on the final game and fine-tune according to their own habits.

However, these can only be replaced when the test driver is very strong and the official driver is experienced.

Zhang Yifei is a newcomer, and Prost team's test driver, Berdyce, also has no F racing experience, and is even worse than Zhang Yifei.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei didn't even think about this alternative to preserving physical strength. He could only complete five events in the sub-station by himself.

Alessi would not let Burdes, an inexperienced rookie, take over his training race, so on Friday morning, all members of the Prost team came to the Albert Park Circuit to prepare for the team's first training race in the new season.

At the same time, the Albert Park track was already crowded with at least tens of thousands of spectators present. As the first stop, coupled with the arrogance of Chinese newcomers before the game, many people were attracted to the audience, and they all wanted to see it.
Chapter completed!
