Zhang Yifei, who was being photographed on the other side, just saw Prost's conversation with Morris.
Just as Zhang Yifei was staring at the two of them curiously, Alessi, who was standing aside, suddenly spoke.
"It seems that your super driver's license special approval has not been resolved."
Zhang Yifei's special approval of the super driver's license, Prost did not inform the detailed progress later, but asked Zhang Yifei not to worry, he will solve the super driver's license problem before the start of F1.
Because in Prost's eyes, Zhang Yifei is just a minor little guy. In the face of high-intensity training and winter testing, he should not be given too much psychological pressure, so that he can better focus on training.
Zhang Yifei is not very worried about the issue of super driver's license, he has already had a precedent for Kimi, and he also ran a special Macau Island Grand Prix for the special approval of the super driver's license.
The F3 title, although still in the category of special approval, has at least barely reached the eligibility to apply. Theoretically, the certainty of success is far greater than that of Kimi, who has only won the Renault Championship in the United Kingdom.
It's just that Zhang Yifei thought about it before, but he still didn't really understand that he was not Kimi!
He's more of an outsider to the entire F1 community.
This kind of thing is not unique to China, and Prost was able to rely on his compatriot relationship with the French president to get a penalty in his favor.
When Kimi Raikkonen was in England at Formula Renault, the crowd in the stands included British President Morris. That's why Morris overrode the crowd and gave Kirmit a super driver's license before the game.
Zhang Yifei is completely different, as an outsider, if he wants to be recognized by the European circle for decades, he will inevitably face more difficulties.
βFUCKοΌβ
Zhang Yifei couldn't help but curse secretly, he had made all the efforts he could for a super driver's license, and he also specially participated in an F3 event on Ao Island.
As a result, I didn't expect that this is not as good as Kimi's championship championship, is the FIA judging standard really fair?
"Don't be recorded by the media, when the time comes, it's more troublesome, and you're really going to be a green light driver."
Alessi reminded Zhang Yifei that now there are many media taking pictures, if it is learned that Zhang Yifei is angry and scolding the FIA, the special approval of the super driver's license will be completely impossible.
As for the green light driver, this is the name that Zhang Yifei got on the winter test site before, for the driver who has only obtained the international A-class racing license, but has not yet obtained the FIA super driver's license, the car must light up a green light at the back of the car during the lap.
The meaning of this green light is probably equivalent to the meaning of a novice driver who has just gotten a driver's license, and must put a "internship" sign on the road.
Although the international A-class racing license is already considered a very top level, it is still only a little brother in front of the super driver's license obtained by only hundreds of people in the world.
Hearing Alessi's reminder, Zhang Yifei suppressed the anger in his heart and understood that now was not the time to reveal his emotions.
"But you don't have to worry too much, the boss had the title of professor back then, and his business operation and planning skills surpassed many retired drivers. I'm sure you'll get your Super Driver's License before the race. β
To be honest, the communication between Zhang Yifei and Alessi, except for the winter test about racing, basically has no personal friendship, and there are few such conversations.
He took the initiative to chat like this today, and even said "comfort", which is really a bit abnormal.
So Zhang Yifei asked a little curiously: "If I don't get a super driver's license, then you will become the No. 1 driver, don't you have any ideas?" β
Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Alaisi smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth: "Of course I want to be the No. 1 driver, but not in this way." β
"And whether you want to admit it or not, the team is a whole at times like this. Bourdyce can't afford to be the number two driver, and Prost is bound to repeat last year's mistakes, so I don't want history to repeat itself. β
In fact, Alessi still has a sentence in his heart, that is, he is almost on the verge of retirement. Even if he becomes the No. 1 driver, he can't bring a pure rookie like Boerdais.
Rather than ending dismally at the end of his career, it is better to cooperate with Zhang Yifei and have a perfect ending, which is what Alesi really thinks.
Of course, Alessi will not tell Zhang Yifei what he thinks, after all, this is equivalent to bowing his head in front of Chinese newcomers, as a veteran, he still has to save face!
At the stage of Zhang Yifei's dialogue with Alessi, the meeting and photo meeting have also ended, and the official driver interview session has begun.
The main focus of the media is, of course, Schumacher from Ferrari, who won the Drivers' Championship last year, the third world title of his career.
As the strongest and best F1 superstar among active drivers, and has a high probability of defending his title this year. It's no surprise that it received major media attention from the scene.
"Mr. Schumacher, what are your goals in the F1 paddock this year?"
"Of course it's defending the title and getting my fourth Drivers' Championship title."
Schumacher replied with great confidence, he is at his peak at the moment, and it can be said that in the entire F1 field, no one is his opponent!
"Your old rival Mika Hakkinen has quit this year, what do you want to say about his exit?"
Mika Hakkinen is a Finnish driver who is also known as the "Flying Man of Finland". In history, he beat Schumacher in the 1998 and 1999 seasons and won two consecutive F1 world championship titles.
He was also the last F1 champion in the pre-Ferrari era to challenge Schumacher. Then came Schumacher's five years of rule, and the other four years were all by a wide margin, except for Kimi, who was also a Finn.
"I'm sorry that Hakkinen chose to quit at this time, but even if he's still in the F1 paddock, I can still defend the title."
Schumacher's answer was very domineering, but it did not make people feel any arrogance, which is the confidence brought by the three-time world champion. No one doubts that Schumacher has what it takes to beat Hakkinen, after all, he has already done it once last year.
Schumacher is popular, but not all journalists have their eyes on him. It is precisely because he is so famous, and his strength is here, and nothing will surprise or be incredible to the audience.
So a reporter pointed the microphone at Kimi Raikkonen and asked him: "Kimi, this year you will be on the track with a super rookie who has also completed miracles, do you think you can beat Fei?" β
One of the highlights of this year's F1 paddock is Zhang Yifei and Kimi, the two newcomers who completed the "triple jump" miracle.
Zhang Yifei, a Chinese kid, is more arrogant, basically everyone has heard of it, and the Finnish newcomer has always been relatively taciturn, and many people are curious about what he will say.
βYESγβ
Kimi gave a simple and crude answer, as he was used to.
This answer caused a commotion at the scene, and many Kimi fans who were waiting for autographs behind them let out enthusiastic cheers.
For them, Kimi is the real super newcomer, and Zhang Yifei is just a replicator from China.
"Fei once said in an interview that he would definitely defeat you, do you have anything to respond to him for this?"
Another reporter dug up the old accounts of Zhang Yifei when he was interviewed and asked them in front of two people.
This question ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and the onlookers became a little excited, and the grievances between the twin stars seemed inevitable!
After Kimi heard this, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Zhang Yifei, and just as he saw Zhang Yifei's sharp eyes looking at him, his eyes were firm and full of desire to fight.
To be honest, Kimi didn't expect Zhang Yifei to be so direct, and even made no secret of his challenging mentality.
Since the other party is like this, Kimi also replied unceremoniously: "He will not be my opponent." β
Kimi's voice fell, and a reporter immediately pointed the microphone at Zhang Yifei and asked, "Fei, what do you want to say?" β
I saw that at this time, Zhang Yifei had a playful smile on his face, he took the microphone and looked at Kimi and said: "I did say that I wanted to defeat Kimi at the beginning, but now my mind has changed." β
When Zhang Yifei said that he had changed, many people were surprised, and even the spectators booed.
Could it be that this Chinese kid was cowardly when he faced Kimi head-on, and he didn't dare to admit what he said at the beginning?
Listening to the boos in his ears, Zhang Yifei still had a smile on his face, and then continued: "My current idea is not just to defeat Kimi, but to defeat everyone present!" β
When this sentence was said, the audience was in an uproar.
", he really deserves to be the arrogant Chinese kid at the beginning, I thought he had become low-key."
"It's a bit arrogant, how can he defeat everyone?"
"Could it be the same thing, but can't you even have an idea? Of all the riders here today, who would dare to say that they don't want to beat the other riders, is that wrong? β
"The idea is true, but Fei shouldn't say it."
"Before that, Schumacher said with a relaxed face that he wanted to defend his title, isn't that similar to the meaning of defeating everyone?"
"It's pretty much the same, but you have to understand that the man who said it was Schumacher!"
"That's right, because he's Schumacher!"
The audience was full of discussions, and even the drivers present looked at Zhang Yifei.
It's been a long time since I've seen this kind of newcomer who dares to speak out and say his inner thoughts, and he can really complete the miracle of "triple jump", all of which are outstanding.
If nothing else, this courage is quite rare.
Schumacher, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhang Yifei with a smile on his face, because the Chinese kid in front of him was very similar to when he stood on the F1 track and was thinking about how to challenge Senna!
