I did it? Am I an F1 driver?

Zhang Yifei asked himself two words in his mind, even if he had imagined it countless times before, and Zhang Yifei was very confident that he would inevitably become an F1 driver.

But when this scene actually appeared in front of his eyes, he still had a feeling like he was dreaming, did I really become an F1 driver?

In his previous life, he was a rally driver, and he finally touched the threshold of Europe, but because of a track accident, he lost his life and came to this world.

Originally, Zhang Yifei thought about taking a different path and challenging the most high-tech racing car on the planet. As for whether he can become an F1 driver, he is not sure in his heart, and can only say that this is his dream. It is even more impossible to predict how long it will take to achieve this time.

After all, there are too many people behind the starting line, even if they have the experience of racing in their previous life, they are far from qualified to become an F1 driver.

So many times, Zhang Yifei does not define himself as a talented driver, but thinks that he is a trailer driver.

There will always be a time when the time cannot be renewed, and the experience of the previous life will help you gain a foothold in the primary formula stage, and finally if you want to enter the F1 field, you still have to rely on your own efforts.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei is crazy to improve himself by squeezing his potential many times.

Whether it is the Hong Kong Island Club, or the Toyota Youth Training Base, or even if he comes to Europe, it is no exaggeration to say that he has surpassed at least 95% of the drivers in terms of physical training and driving skills.

As for the remaining five percent, it is purely Zhang Yifei's modesty, and he doesn't want to talk too much. Otherwise, Zhang Yifei can say that he is the hardest-working, and there is no one!

Because Zhang Yifei has always believed in one sentence, that is, most people's hard work is low, and it is far from reaching the point of fighting talent. Zhang Yifei worked so hard, not to compete with others for talent, he just wanted to make up for his backwardness at the starting line.

Today, Zhang Yifei finally did it, whether it was hard work or talent, he crossed the threshold of F1 drivers. Even if it's just a team that is about to go out of business, it is still one of the top 10 or so professional teams in the world!

At the same time, Zhang Yifei also knows that he has set another record, that is, he is about to become China's first F1 driver! And it's not a so-called test driver, it's an official driver who really wants to participate in the race.

Even after 20 years, there has not been a real F1 driver in China, and Zhang Yifei has advanced this history by at least 20 years!

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, first of all, congratulations on winning the sub-station championship again, what do you want to say about winning the championship?"

"Driver Fei, you won the race and broke the track record, which means you have reached an agreement with Prost, when will you sign a formal driver contract?"

"Fei, you have now copied Kimi Raikkonen's miracle and will be against him on the track in the future, do you still have confidence in your pre-race remarks?"

The questions from various reporters came to his face, and he also woke up Zhang Yifei, who was a little in a daze before, and returned to this real track from the "memory".

Faced with so many questions, Zhang Yifei didn't know which one to answer, so he could only reply in general: "First of all, I am naturally very happy to win the championship again." ”

"But I'm even happier that I have completed the agreement with Professor Prost and will be eligible to become an official F1 driver."

"As for your question of faith, have you seen when I have lost faith?"

When Zhang Yifei said the back, he smiled at the reporter who asked the question, he had nothing else, and he was now in the stage of bursting with self-confidence.

Sure enough, when this sentence came out, it aroused the impression in many people's minds that this guy in front of him was still the arrogant Chinese driver Fei.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, it seems that you are very confident, so do you think that with your current strength, you can achieve results in the F1 paddock in the future?"

"What do you think?"

Zhang Yifei asked rhetorically.

Faced with Zhang Yifei's rhetorical question, the reporter was obviously stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously replied: "I don't know." ”

"Then I can tell you right now that my goal is to become a car god!"

Zhang Yifei said this, and instantly detonated the scene again, this Chinese kid has not yet entered F1, and he began to think about the title of car god, doesn't he know that the driver who can be called the car god now is only Senna?

Or the Chinese kid, who thinks he can compete with Senna?

"Fly, although you are strong in junior Formula 1, don't be too arrogant, the F1 paddock is the strongest driver arena in the world."

"Zhang Yifei, let's keep a low profile, this goal is really too high!"

"Chinese boy, don't talk too much, don't enter F1 and become a laughing stock when the time comes."

may be Zhang Yifei's remarks, which shocked some fans at the scene, and they didn't dare to speak up and agree at the moment.

After all, the previous arrogance was only facing some junior formula drivers, but between F1 and junior formula, but between F3 and F3000 events, the strength is even more heaven and earth.

Historically, there have not been too many drivers who have swept the primary races to enter F1, in other words, there are only a handful of drivers who can enter F1 at the level of Renault.

Whether it is Kimi, or the Massa and Kubica that Zhang Yifei is in contact with now, they are all the characters who win the championship in the primary competition, and the difficulty is not at the same level at all!

But Zhang Yifei didn't care about these remarks, and still had that confident smile on his face. If what I often said about the Seven Star Mountain Bike God before was more of a joke, then now I say that I want to become a car god, which is the goal of entering F1 in the future.

Just like a soldier who doesn't want to be a general, not a good soldier, a driver enters the world's top racing hall and does not have the ambition to become a car god, then he is not a qualified driver, and he cannot afford the honor and pride of an F1 driver!

……

Zhang Yifei's post-race interview in the celebration area was also watched by the three team bosses in the VIP viewing room.

"Prost, it seems that this Chinese kid is really arrogant, he has not officially entered F1, and he has already considered the name of the car god."

"But then again, his aggressive style on the track is really similar to Senna, and Cosell is the same strategist."

Williams said to Prost next to him, in fact, the two of them once had a relationship between the boss and the driver.

Because of the fight with Senna, Prost faced Senna, the side of the McLaren team, and resolutely chose to leave the McLaren team and go to the Ferrari team. After running for two years, Prost went on a short sabbatical period of one year.

Just when everyone thought Prost would retire from racing, he chose to make a comeback with Williams, and this year he beat Senna to win his fourth world championship title, proving that he is the best F1 driver.

And Prost at this peak, Torrent retired and officially retired, followed by Senna's death in an accident in 94.

In the eighties and nineties, the battle between the two most interesting drivers of Formula 1 also represented the end of an era.

"Yes, he's the same kind of person as Senna."

Prost replied thoughtfully, Zhang Yifei's performance on the track just now, for a moment, made him feel that he saw Senna's shadow.

The same radical, the same desperate adventure for the sake of the championship.

"Fly has a lot of potential, and in my opinion, his future achievements may be no less than Kimi Raikkonen. Seriously, I now regret not signing with Williams. ”

Hearing this, Prost just smiled and replied: "Sir Williams, Fei is the most ambitious rookie driver I have ever met, and he has only one goal, which is to become the official driver of the F1 team, you can't give him this chip, so there is nothing to regret." ”

Prost understands that Williams is just talking, you must know that the Williams team, which won two constructors' championships in the previous two years, is in a glorious stage, and it is impossible for a rookie driver to become an official driver.

"Indeed, this Chinese kid has great ambitions."

Ghosn on the side also sighed, in fact, he is the one who has the best chance to sign Zhang Yifei.

At that time, Zhang Yifei had already begun to think and hesitate, if it was not an invitation to develop drivers at that time, even if it was just a test driver, maybe Zhang Yifei would have been a member of the Renault team at this time.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and Zhang Yifei's current results are not up to the level of regret for Ghosn. After all, Formula 1 is the track that really considers the strength of the driver, and Formula Renault is just the starting point.

After saying this, Ghosn stood up and said, "The award ceremony is about to start, Prost, are you interested in personally awarding Zhang Yifei the championship trophy?" ”

Although Ghosn did not sign Zhang Yifei, any Formula Renault driver who was signed by the F1 team is a win-win for the Renault series.

So Ghosn invited Prost to present the award in person, and now that so many reporters are present, this will definitely become the headline of tomorrow, and maximizing the benefits is in line with the logic of businessmen's behavior.

"Of course I'm interested, so let's go down."

Prost nodded and stood up, as Ghosn thought, he also needed enough media exposure to attract potential investors and sponsors.

What outsiders don't know is that Prost Racing's current financial situation is extremely poor, and if there is no way to alleviate it, it will not be able to participate in next year's F1 season.

Then when Zhang Yifei arrives, he may have to create a history, that is, the first driver who has just signed a contract with an F1 team and is about to face the team's closure and termination.
