Alonso did not continue to be rampant, so naturally Zhang Yifei would not take the initiative to stimulate and provoke. To be honest, Zhang Yifei really planned to join forces with Alonso to become a Gemini combination on the track and dominate the entire F1 paddock.

As for who will eventually become the world champion in the future, it depends on his strength.

However, at least at this stage, world champion Zhang Yifei will not give it to anyone. He will give Alonso a chance to compete, but there is nothing absolutely fair in the world. Team resources must be tilted towards him, which is also the exclusive right of driver No. 1.

Many non-F1 professional car fans actually don’t quite understand what the so-called team resource tilt means. They believe that two drivers on the track rely on their own abilities, as long as the driver No. 2 is not forced to be a wingman, this is fair competition. What other resources are there to be tilted?

After all, the starting line is in front and behind, and they all rely on the qualifying race to run by themselves, so there is no way for the team to decide on such things.

In fact, this is not the case. The most basic team resources are tilted, and it begins to appear during the racing development stage.

For example, the new racing cars of each season, various ergonomic designs are based on the habit standards of driver No. 1. The layout can make him more comfortable and drive more handy.

Even a little exaggerated, even the length of the wheelbase is determined by the driver's specialties. Some drivers like low-speed tracks, so the wheelbase is correspondingly shorter, so that the steering will be more accurate and flexible.

If the No. 1 driver is good at high speed tracks, it doesn’t matter if the wheelbase is appropriately long, and the design direction focuses on the vehicle’s extreme speed.

In addition to the chassis design, there are also pneumatic kit design, priority of pitting strategy, etc., and all aspects are mainly based on the needs of No. 1 drivers.

For example, this year's Ferrari "Radio" f2002 was almost completely built for Schumacher and is not very friendly to Barrichello. Therefore, in history, both of them drove rovers, but the final points were very different. The gap in strength was only one factor, and racing design also occupied a large reason.

In comparison, Prost is relatively flat, and it adopts a general design rather than tailor-made for Zhang Yifei.

After all, for the team, only two drivers are competitive at the same time can guarantee the team championship title. Otherwise, only the drivers have the title of the championship will be a little worse after all.

So even if the No. 2 driver is not forced to give up the car and block the car on the track, the No. 1 driver still has an advantage in other aspects. This is what is called "no absolute fairness".

Of course, these things are not even considered unspoken rules. Even if they are inclined on the surface, Alonso naturally understands them.

This is why, in the f1 paddock, the No. 2 driver is always on the way to challenge the No. 1 driver, just to tilt the resources of these teams. Only by killing the No. 1 driver can you lay the foundation for your better results, and there is a conflict between the two drivers in their fundamental interests.

It can be described better in an old Chinese saying, that is, "Don't worry about lack of people but not inequality."

Faced with Alonso's ambitiousness, Zhang Yifei, who was standing in God's vision, naturally would not take it arrogantly and not take it seriously. So he did not choose to rest too much, but instead opened another racing simulator and started his own track simulation training.

Although Zhang Yifei believes that he has advantages that other drivers do not have on the Singapore track. But today Alonso's performance gave him a warning, that is, never underestimate the adaptability of F1 drivers.

They may not run much on the streets at night, but these problems only cause some small obstacles to these top drivers in the world and will definitely not be the basis for their own victory.

Especially the Ferrari "Red Flower Green" combination at its peak, there is no one on this planet, and the track environment that the two of them cannot adapt to. Being confident is the same thing. To win the game, it is not enough to rely solely on confidence, and you must have absolute strength!

In the next few days, Zhang Yifei and Alonso were like they were on the verge and were training on the racing simulator frantically. At the same time, the lap speed continued to break through. Zhang Yifei's fastest lap speed even broke the pole lap speed of Masa in history, showing that he really had great experience in this Singapore track.

For such a scene, the crew members began to gradually understand why Zhang Yifei chose Alonso. First, this Spanish boy is indeed strong, but I don’t know why he did not perform in Minardi last year.

Another point is that threats are also a spur for Zhang Yifei himself. When young people are not a little arrogant, the existence of people like Alonso objectively aroused Zhang Yifei's competitive spirit, and both of them are holding their breath!

...

The first day of March is coming soon, and today will usher in the Friday practice competition of Singapore Station. Compared to the past, I came to the maintenance station in the morning to prepare, this time Zhang Yifei arrived at the maintenance station, which was already afternoon.

The reason is very simple. The Singapore Grand Prix is ​​a night battle, and the natural practice competition must be held at night so that drivers can adapt in advance.

The repair area of ​​the Singapore Grand Prix is ​​integrated into a three-story building. The first floor is the maintenance room of each team, the race control unit room, the second floor is the podium and news center, and the third floor is the track console and dispatch center.

This building combines all the event functions of F1. It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the area of ​​the pit area is a bit too small, and all the teams are crowded together. Even if the drivers are a little unattended in the tense race, they may have an unexpected situation of stopping and fighting incorrectly.

But there is nothing we can do about this. Singapore is just an island country with every inch of land. If you can find a way to create an F1 track, it is already the limit.

It is also necessary to open up a vast maintenance area for the three-day F1 event within the city area. It is unlikely to think about it. This is the compromise as much as possible.

In the Prost maintenance station, the crew members were doing the final racing test, but after seeing Zhang Yifei coming, they put down their work and greeted Zhang Yifei.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Zhang Yifei has a high prestige in the team at present, not even lower than his boss Prost.

There are two assembled AAP05 racing cars in the garage, quietly placed there. Compared with the simple painting during winter testing, the logos of various advertisers and driver numbers have been printed on it this time.

Prost team ranked sixth in total points last year. In theory, this year's racing numbers should be 11 and 12. However, in addition to the established numbers, f1 actually has its own choice of car numbers. For example, Alonso likes the number 14.

As a taboo number in the West, the meaning of the 13th is similar to that in China's 4, so this number is still a blank.

When Zhang Yifei chose the number 13 as his car number, it was just to disgust the Westerners who like to mock him. However, after a year of use, he thought the title of "Death God Fei" actually sounded quite good.

So this year his racing number still chose the number 13.

As for Alonso, he is currently in the f1 yard, he can only be considered an inconspicuous little brother. He likes the number of 14 cars. The driver behind him is unwilling to give in, and he is not qualified to grab it. This is similar to the number of clothes for ball sports, so the boss naturally has more privileges.

So Alonso's racing number is 12, which is a very standard driver number.

"Fly, I'll do it by myself in the racing assembly. Don't worry, there's absolutely no problem."

When Charlie saw Zhang Yifei standing in front of the racing car, he thought he was observing the assembly of the racing car, so he walked over and promised.

Hearing Charlie's words, Zhang Yifei smiled: "Charlie, I just suddenly saw a new racing car with a complete painting, which is a little strange."

Indeed, compared to last year's pure blue painting, this year with the complete painting of Ferrari Red, it is still a bit unfamiliar.

In fact, to be serious, it is not a problem of painting changes, but Zhang Yifei's biggest enemy is Ferrari. Unexpectedly, he used the same "heart" and the same Ferrari red. It feels a bit lucky to be awesome.

Hearing that this is the reason, Charlie laughed and said, "I'll get used to running a game."

After saying this, Charlie changed into a tone of yearning and said, "I can't wait to see you running on the track. This year our Prost car is definitely not inferior to others!"

In the past few years, in addition to the drivers' grievances, the maintenance technician team was also grievances.

Because various racing failures occur at any time, they are either during the maintenance or on the emergency repairs throughout the season. Moreover, the driver's complaints and the pressure from the boss also greatly undermined the confidence of the members of the RV team.

The reason why Alonso did not dare to take the team in later generations was because his complaints were too negative. For example, members of the technician crew members did not have the right to call, but many of them had the right to answer.

Think about watching every game, you have to face the riders’ complaints about racing. How good can your work mentality be?

If you were depressed in the past, then last year, you would have to add regret on the basis of depressed in the past!

Because Prost's driver before gave a rover a mid-span, it seems that there is no big problem with the rookie accompanying the car.

But last year, Zhang Yifei's peak operation on the track and the maintenance technician team saw it. Many times, Zhang Yifei had no problems in operating the road, but was repeatedly forced to eat by other teams.

The performance of the fastest racing car in this winter test stage proves the performance of the A05 top F1 racing car, so the maintenance technician team is waiting for the arrival of the competition, allowing Zhang Yifei to fully display his strength on the track!
