Well, I want to see the strength of my future teammates. ”

Zhang Yifei responded, he really wants to see who is in better shape and is currently stronger after the new F1 Massa and Alonso, who has been running for a year.

"Fly, you're the most dedicated driver I've ever met."

Henry sighed with emotion, if he didn't have the identity of the team leader, he would have wanted to go on vacation for the winter break, but he didn't expect Zhang Yifei to have taken a vacation and come back to pay attention to the situation of the F1 rookie tryout.

Although this matter is also somewhat related to Zhang Yifei, he can use a phone call to learn about the results, and there is no need to be there in person.

Zhang Yifei just smiled at Henry's words, and then went to Prost's office, ready to confirm the situation with him.

knocked on the office door a few times, and there was a sound of Prost "please come in" from inside, and when the door was pushed open and found that it was Zhang Yifei, even Prost was a little surprised.

"The F1 rookie tryout only started two days later, why did you come back today?"

"Maybe I'm better suited to the professional atmosphere."

Zhang Yifei told the truth, the few days he spent at home, except for physical exercise, can almost be described as idle.

And at this point in time, the university has not yet had winter vacation, and there is no one who wants to play with Wang Glasses, and he has to face various media interviews, so it is better to relax freely in the team.

"By the way, how was the conversation with Alonso?"

"It was agreed, and he didn't want to try out with Prost at first, but after knowing that it was your choice, he changed his mind."

"Oh, why did he change his mind?"

"I want to challenge your position and say you'll regret your decision."

Prost's answer was very direct, and Zhang Yifei's personal selection made Alonso feel a kind of provocation and humiliation.

According to Brother Tou's irascible personality, since the Chinese kid dares to choose me, then he has no reason to admit it. At the same time, Alonso will not easily succumb to becoming the No. 2 driver and wingman, and Zhang Yifei dares to be so confident, so he must be prepared for the challenge of being the No. 1 driver.

"Good, I'm waiting for him to challenge."

That's right, Zhang Yifei is so confident, from the very beginning he knew that recruiting a driver like Alonso was equivalent to a double-edged sword, but Zhang Yifei thought he had the strength to control it.

For Zhang Yifei's attitude, Prost has become accustomed to it, and a driver who is not absolutely confident will not be able to run well.

"In addition, I have agreed to Massa's trial registration, and there are several new drivers who will participate at the same time, so there may be a windfall."

"By the way, the trial was a joint session at the Jerez circuit in Spain. In addition to us, there are Sauber, Renault, and Toyota, and maybe Helio will also show up when the time comes. ”

"Really, which team does Helio try out?"

Zhang Yifei opened his mouth and asked, this guy is destined to become his enemy on the track, although Zhang Yifei is not afraid of the other party, but it is not wrong to know more about the opponent.

Because Zhang Yifei always remembered the lines in a book called "The Three-Body Problem", weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

Never be arrogant and despise your opponent because of victory and achievement, you can despise strategically, but you must pay attention to tactically. Otherwise, one day, you will lose to your own arrogance.

"As far as I know, it's Renault, but I've heard that Helio was preparing to try out the Big Three team before, and even wanted to squeeze one of the drivers, but I don't know if it didn't work out, or if the Big Three team didn't give it a chance, anyway, there is no follow-up."

"It's arrogant."

Hearing this, a playful smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yifei's mouth, if it weren't for the enemy, Helio's move would really have an appetite for Zhang Yifei.

Entering the Big Three team can be said to be the dream of every rookie F1 driver, but there are few who challenge with courage like Helio.

To be honest, even Zhang Yifei himself, when he was in the rookie stage, never considered going to try out the Big Three teams, let alone challenge his drivers. From this, it can also be seen that Helio is aiming to enter F1, and he is here for the championship.

"It's very arrogant, but there are no vacancies in the Big Three teams this year, and he is destined to have no chance to enter."

At present, the Big Three teams, Ferrari's "Red Flower and Green Leaf" combination can be said to be thunderous, and no one can be more suitable than the combination of Schumacher and Barrichello.

The Williams team's Schumacher Jr. and Montoya are also a pair with unlimited potential, and the ceiling can even challenge Ferrari for championship status. It will be difficult for Helio to replace either of them until he has finished in the F1 paddock.

The only chance may be McLaren's Coulthard and Kimi Raikkonen.

But the problem is that Kuthard is still the runner-up this year, except for Zhang Yifei, who has a God's perspective, knowing that this is his last peak, others also think that Kuthard has the strength to challenge Schumacher, so it is impossible for him to be replaced.

So the most dangerous person is Kimi Raikkonen.

However, the future Finnish iceman was saved by Dennis, and did not give Helio a chance to compete, at most he was given a test driver's seat.

Of course, this is unacceptable to Helio, so he can only settle for the next best thing and choose another relatively strong team, which is Renault.

As a factory team, Renault Racing is backed by a world giant car company such as the Renault-Nissan Alliance, and its capital and strength are beyond doubt. In addition, Renault was also a former F1 engine supplier and has a wealth of experience in F1 competition.

In fact, in the 2002 season, just one year after joining Formula 1, Renault finished fourth overall and began to show its potential. Later, he signed with Alonso, won two drivers and team world championships in a row, and went straight to the top.

I have to say that Helio has a good eye and has selected the team with the most potential for the future.

"I know the boss, I'll go with you when the time comes to test the track."

“OK。”

After ending this conversation, Zhang Yifei returned to his room, put down his luggage and did not rest, but went directly to the racing simulation training room.

Last season, he was seriously speaking and only ran six races, so many tracks were unfamiliar to Zhang Yifei.

In the new season, Zhang Yifei's goal is to be a world champion, and he will no longer let the unfamiliar track become an obstacle to his championship. The only way to solve this problem is to get familiar with and adapt to the unfamiliar track through crazy simulation training.

This is also another important reason why Zhang Yifei chose to return to the team ahead of schedule. At least compared to the rookie season, this time I have more time to train with the simulator, so I can't waste it in vain.

Two days passed in a flash, and Zhang Yifei, Prost, Henry and Korcel came to the Jerez circuit in Spain, without bringing the crew members and cars. Because they were all on the Prost private race car, accompanying the test driver to the stability test of the AP05 car, there was not enough manpower.

However, at this time, the advantages of the team's joint trial come out, only one team needs to provide the car and technical support, and the other teams can share the cost equally. In this way, each team can try out, which can save a lot of human resources and funds, and is also the first choice of many small teams.

The Circuit Jerez is the home circuit of the Spanish Grand Prix, located in a small valley with a good weather and a very open view from the main stands, so you can see all the lines of the drivers.

That's why Jerez has long been one of the top destinations for teams to test throughout the year.

In addition to these advantages, another reason to become a test track is the temperature.

This is the same as the reason for the Catalan circuit of the winter test, because Spain is relatively located in the south, and the temperature in the northern hemisphere is much higher than that of other European countries in winter, so the winter test track is basically placed in Spain.

In addition to the assembly of the four F1 teams, many media reporters came to the scene to witness the annual F1 rookie test.

Because compared with previous years, this year's F1 rookies can be described as "star-studded", Massa, Helio, Takuma Sato and others can be regarded as well-known newcomers, and naturally have more attention than in previous years.

And in addition to the newcomers, there are also some veteran drivers who have been eliminated by the team, and they have also joined the ranks of test drivers. For example, Alonso of Minardi, della Rosa of the Old Arrows team, and Renault test driver Mark Webber, among others.

Either they were eliminated by the team, or they were former test drivers and wanted to compete for a place as an official driver, so they participated in this test in the hope of winning the favor of the team.

Originally, this was a very regular F1 rookie trial, and the focus of media attention was also on this year's rookie drivers. But when Zhang Yifei entered the track to watch the race, he instantly attracted the media reporters on the scene, and they were surprised that this year's F1 paddock superstar would actually come to watch the F1 rookie test.

"Fei, are you picking teammates for yourself?"

"Fei, for the No. 2 driver of the Prost team, do you have any requirements and standards, will there be a conflict with the boss?"

"Fly, do you need a reliable wingman, or a strong teammate?"

"Fly, will you be afraid of the competition of your rookie teammates?"

Reporters gathered around and asked Zhang Yifei about the news of his new teammates, as well as his own views and opinions.

In the face of Zhang Yifei's popular scene, the rookie drivers standing in the track pit station and waiting for the trial had different expressions on their faces.

Takuma Sato's face is full of envy, and he hopes that one day, he can also become a superstar like Zhang Yifei and justify the strength of Japanese drivers!

The expression on Massa's face is yearning, and he thinks that Zhang Yifei's pursuit scene today will be repeated in him in the future.

Helio's expression is a kind of rebelliousness, and this kind of popular scene has actually been staged countless times in his career, so there is nothing to envy and yearn for.

What Helio wants to do is to beat Zhang Yifei, beat all the F1 drivers, and use the championship to wash away his shame at the Indianapolis circuit!
