At the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, Alonso was not lucky enough to face a newly added F1 track. He had a racing failure in the qualifying race and ranked very low.

In this qualifying match, Massa won the pole position and started to hold his first position, always leading the way, with Hamilton following closely behind.

I have to say that Alonso still has strength. After only 9 laps, he rose from the fifteenth place in the qualifying round to the eleventh place, and he is ready to attack Kazuki Nakajima, who is ranked tenth. If nothing unexpected happens, he will rise to one more place.

However, during the 13th lap, Alonso chose to enter the station and refuel and change the tires. As the first driver to enter the station, it took him 9.8 seconds. If the speed reduction of the maintenance channel is included, it took about 20 seconds to enter and exit the station as a whole.

So after Alonso left the station, he was directly ranked last, trailing the leading Masa by 84 seconds.

According to this gap, even the top drivers entered the station and refueled the platform, and it was difficult for Alonso to catch up with the leading front row. In order to save the loss of time for himself to enter the station and refueled the tire, Alonso and Renault team directly instructed the team's second driver, Piquet, to crash, which triggered the safety car to be dispatched.

As the only driver on the track to enter the station, Alonso naturally became the biggest winner.

At the same time, all the leading advantages of the first car, Masa returned to zero at the moment the safety car was dispatched. This caused his mentality to collapse. Later, an accident occurred when he entered the station. Before the gas pipe was pulled out, he rushed to step on the accelerator and left, so he was punished by the FIA ​​to stop the station for ten seconds.

With a two-pronged approach, Masa has completely collapsed. He was far ahead and had the opportunity to win the sub-station championship, but he didn't even get points. In the end, Alonso completed a shocking counterattack and won the first championship of the Singapore Grand Prix with a low ranking.

In the total points of the season that year, Masa finally ranked second with 97 points. Hamilton, who won the world championship title, had only one point advantage, and the total points were 98 points.

It can be said that if there were no accidents in the Singapore Grand Prix, Masa would have fulfilled his life dream that year. He would not have to experience the tragedy of the Brazil Grand Prix again and become the best supporting actor.

Think about how many years have Schumacher suffered from Barrichello's car's infamy without competitive pressure. Alonso directly asked the team to instruct his teammates to crash the car. In comparison, this is the real way to do anything!

Being able to rank from the end and reach the championship position undoubtedly proves Alonso's strength. However, this behavior of completely sacrificing his teammates also proves that the boss really has no sports spirit and does not regard the No. 2 driver as a human being.

Of course, Alonso said afterwards that he was unaware of it and did not punish him for it. However, this operation was at least approved by his acquiescence, otherwise the team management would not have been so determined.

But then again, f1 is a commercial competition, and the champion drivers have made some dirty tricks to the point of view, but they are nothing more than the difference in the bottom line. Few people do it as simple and rough as Alonso.

For example, Schumacher's car was scolded to death back then, but Hamilton did the same thing, but it did not cause any waves. The reason is that the Ferrari team's strategy group was rigid and directly asked the No. 2 driver to get the No. 2 driver to get the No. 2 driver to get the No. 2 driver to get the tires and add fuel. Isn't this a natural overtake?

Even later at Monaco Station, Mercedes sent a team command directly to the Indian Power Team, asking their young driver Okang to give Hamilton, who was behind the station, to overtake.

The convoy instructions were sent to another convoy, and this operation could only be described as Niu Pi. But as long as you are low-key and don't be so blatant, it's okay?

So the head brother likes to play convoy politics very much, but his methods are particularly "mind-retarded", and he almost writes the three words "I did" on his face.

It can only be said that God is fair, allowing Alonso to have the technical strength of a top driver. Otherwise, with his IQ and personality, if F1 is a palace drama, Alonso would really not survive three episodes!

Zhang Yifei knew the strength of the head brother very well, and also his character and style of conduct. But he still chose to let the head brother join the team, because Zhang Yifei was confident that he doubled over Alonso in terms of IQ and force, so that this Spanish boy could not cause any storm.

Oranges grow in the south of Huai, and those grow in the north of Huai, are tangerines. Zhang Yifei does not expect that after history and environment changes, Alonso's personality will change amazingly. But at least the set of methods in history will not work here.

"Very good. Since the Singapore Grand Prix is ​​fine, the difficulty of the final East China Sea Grand Prix will be much lower. After all, the final battle will have the entire season to prepare for the final battle."

Prost was very satisfied with the answers of the two drivers. This was a scene that Prost team could not see in the previous seasons. Sure enough, when the strength reached a level, many difficulties were no longer difficult.

"And Fei, the East China Sea Grand Prix is ​​your home court. I believe you will give me a miracle on this track."

Prost emphasized the East China Sea Grand Prix. He believed that with Zhang Yifei's personality, he would be a life-long performance on his home track. So he was not worried at all that Zhang Yifei would run at the East China Sea Grand Prix. The suspense was how Zhang Yifei could run.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Yifei just smiled. The opening battle has not even begun yet, so he talked about the results of the final battle. No matter what kind of bold words, he felt like he was talking big.

As China's first F1 track, the F1 Grand Prix was held for the first time. The only thing Zhang Yifei could do was not forget his original intention. That was to let the national anthem be played at his home court, and he would do whatever it takes!

"Okay, if you understand the schedule, continue to train. In addition, next month's winter test, try to control the new generation of AAP05 racing in the shortest time."

Cosell made a summary speech and reminded that the winter test time was coming soon.

Although drivers have not been explicitly prohibited in this era, some restrictions have been put on drivers' training during winter breaks to prevent the team's strength gap from being widened.

Contact with new racing cars is one of the restrictions. Before the official winter test begins, drivers are not allowed to privately test the new generation of racing cars.

However, there is actually nothing to test. The running-in and stability test of various parts of the new generation prototype car is not as complete as training. Various parking feedback and racing fault detection will disrupt the entire test process.

In a sense, letting formal drivers do these experimental tests will also affect the normal training process. The best way is to let test drivers complete the test projects, and formal drivers actively prepare for the new season next year.

After confirming the schedule of the branch and adding the new track, the training sequence of Zhang Yifei simulator was slightly changed, and the updated Singapore track was the primary training target.

The reason why the Singapore Grand Prix can join the F1 schedule so quickly is because it uses the streets and does not require the construction of special professional tracks, which greatly saves construction time.

Since it is a street race, it is naturally impossible to avoid comparing with the most classic Monaco track. The composition of Singapore track is very similar to that of Monaco Station. The road surface can provide low adhesion, and all speeds are the second slow track second only to Monaco.

However, the Singapore track is wider than the Monaco track, and the curve complexity is also lost to the Monaco station. However, the emergence of the innovative night battle has made up for the slight reduction in difficulty of the Singapore Grand Prix.

If the driver cannot adapt to the atmosphere of racing under the light for a short period of time, then this race will be a nightmare for the driver.

And this is also the biggest difficulty of track simulation. No matter how real the racing simulator is, it is impossible to simulate the scene of driving an F1 car at night. Not to mention a racing simulator, even on the real track, the two necessary conditions of street and night battle cannot be achieved, and it is impossible to train privately.

So in a sense, this track is a fair track and treats all teams equally. It depends purely on the driver's ability to adapt to the track and personal ability in a short period of time!

Perhaps this Singapore track is a difficult problem for many Formula drivers who are "professional" because they have never experienced the scene of night battles.

But for Zhang Yifei, the difficulty of this obstacle is zero!

The reason is very simple. Zhang Yifei is not a professional kart driver. He runs on the streets! Under what circumstances are the most lively street events? It is at midnight when no one is around, and it is called Cinderella time.

Even Zhang Yifei could say shamelessly that there should be no experience in racing in the f1 paddock that can surpass him at night. Zhang Yifei doesn’t care about the complex lighting scenes of the streets. What else should I worry about when I have to worry about when I have a street racing lighting?

To be honest, Zhang Yifei never thought that some of the experiences of running on the street and underground racing can also help F1 professional competitions, and it is a bit bizarre to say it.

Alonso next to him is basically the same as Zhang Yifei's plan, and he mainly practices the Xinjiabo track. And he is even more crazy and hardworking than Zhang Yifei, because this is a brand new track. If even the speed of this track is not as fast as Zhang Yifei, it really means that his talent and strength are not as good as the other party.

The fledgling boss still has a sense of arrogance in his heart, otherwise he would not have been forced to take over the management of Minardi team.

Alonso always has a heart that catches up and surpasses Zhang Yifei!

A month is not short, but not long. Soon, the winter test time of the 2001 season was reached, and the location was still on the Catalonian track in Spain.

More than a dozen F1 teams have successively transported new racing cars and repair stations to Barcelona through containers. At the same time, media from various countries have also begun to gather to prepare to report the latest news about the team in the new season.

The members of the Prost crew also took several luxury buses to the winter test track. Now, with the team's financial crisis being resolved, both R&D and maintenance personnel have increased a lot.

From the extremely compressed number 30 people who had been extremely compressed before, it has become a normal team of number 50 people. At least in the future, they will not be so busy when they are redirecting. Moreover, if Zhang Yifei is willing, he can even not use the rest room provided by the track, but create a mobile lounge that is exclusive to him.

Of course, Zhang Yifei did not raise this kind of extravagant requirement that cost money. After all, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If you get used to enjoying it at that time, how can you adapt to it if you encounter any hard days again?

The Catalonian track, which had been deserted for a winter, became much more lively with the arrival of the F1 crew members.

Unlike the small roles that were not popular last year, Prost team just entered the field this year, which attracted the attention of several teams who arrived earlier. Now French veteran Alessi has been replaced, and the second driver has been changed to a Spanish rookie. I wonder if Prost team can still maintain its strength last year.

In the Minardi fleet repair station, Madu was looking at the Prost fleet that was building the repair station with disdain.

"Hmph, I picked up the rookie drivers we don't want, and I want to see what kind of flowers the Prost team can run."

No one knows Alonso's strength better than Minardi team. No one regrets or regrets the sacking of this Spanish thorn from top to bottom of the team.

This kid is both naughty and thorny, but he doesn't know what luck he has left in the rookie test, but he actually achieved the second fastest result. But soon Prost team will understand what kind of driver they hired and will not even cry when they are crying.

Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Madu's face.

Since you can't escape the other party, let the disaster join the other party. In a sense, this is also a victory!

When the technical director Willy heard Madu’s words, he subconsciously frowned. He actually didn’t like Madu in his heart. This guy was simply a ignorant second generation.

But in this view, Willy and Madu have the same idea. Alonso has not achieved any results for a year, and it is difficult to get along with a irritable personality. Which team does such a person go to and which team will be unlucky.

Alessi has no strength, and can at least be a qualified wingman. He helped Zhang Yifei overtake several critical moments. What can Alonso do? He is not qualified to be a wingman, and this kid is not willing to be a wingman.

On the other side of the Renault team, Helio was already wearing a yellow and black Renault uniform. His eyes also looked towards the Prost team, but he always locked in one person, that is Zhang Yifei.

He had only two goals when he came to F1, winning the world championship and defeating Zhang Yifei. It can also be said that there was only one. After all, winning the world championship naturally defeated Zhang Yifei.

During the winter break, not only Zhang Yifei and Alonso were training wildly, but Helio was not idle either, and even took longer.

This is the power brought by obsession and revenge. He could never accept failure on the Indy Track, which was also the biggest setback in his career. Helio would use his talent and crazy efforts to prove to the world that he will always be the most powerful newcomer ever.
