The gates of Silverstone do not have the modern feel of the previous Manikul circuit, but instead reveal a kind of historical precipitation.

Because Silverstone itself was converted from a military airport runway, many of its track facilities were built for military purposes.

Of course, after so many years, many military facilities have long been changed beyond recognition, except for the gate and runway prototype, it is difficult to find the shadow of the airport runway back then.

Today is not a public open day for the track, but there are not many tourists at Silverstone Circuit, at least at the gate, Zhang Yifei saw many people taking group photos.

The main reason is that there are too many F1 teams in the UK, and Silverstone also has a famous organization, the English abbreviation is BRDC, which is called the British Racing Drivers Club in Chinese, and many well-known F1 drivers are members of the club.

For example, the familiar Louis Hamilton, Jenson Barton, the "Lion King" Nigel Mansell and so on.

So this attracted a lot of F1 fans and driver fans to come and visit the Drivers' Club and witness the history of those legendary drivers. Also, try your luck at Silverstone and maybe meet your idol driver.

Zhang Yifei naturally didn't have time to visit any drivers' club, he came to his P room for the first time, wanting to see what happened to the overhaul of Renault's car.

Inside the P room, Yamamoto Youjing and several people were standing next to the racing car, their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat, and when they saw Zhang Yifei and his party coming, they turned around and nodded to say hello.

"Ukyo, how's the car overhaul?"

"It's basically completed, mainly relying on Ah Hu and Chen Zhi, the two of them learned quickly with Toyota's technical team."

Yamamoto Ukyo praised Ah Hu and Brother Zhi, because more than 90% of the car maintenance was completed by the two of them.

Although Yamamoto Ukyo graduated from the Technical University of Berlin in racing engineering, he majored in data analysis, which is really not his specialty. This time, I came to lead the team to test after the game, which is more of a kind of duck hunting on the shelves.

The same is true for Kossel, who is good at aerodynamics and body design, and mechanical parts such as engines and gearboxes are also outside Kossel's scope, so he is limited in what he can help.

So this post-game overhaul was basically completed independently by Ah Hu and Brother Zhi. You must know that more than two months ago, the two of them had never even been in contact with the formula, and in this short time, they were already able to complete the post-race overhaul alone, which is completely worthy of this praise!

"Ah Hu, Brother Zhi, well done."

Zhang Yifei also praised that the two of them have completed the work of the entire Toyota technical team, which is already very good.

At the same time, this scene strengthened Zhang Yifei's inner thoughts, no matter what the price is, Ah Hu and Brother Zhi must be allowed to enter the F1 team.

It's like going to the F1 paddock to compete with the best drivers in the world.

As the most high-tech event on the earth and the crown jewel of the automobile industry, Ah Hu and Brother Zhi can only learn the world's most professional mechanical maintenance when they enter the F1 technical team.

Now that Ah Hu and Brother Zhi have shown their amazing talent in this area, they can't be given up.

"Brother Fei, it's a small scene."

Ah Hu sweated profusely and replied to Zhang Yifei's mantra, and he could feel that he was also very proud in his heart.

When Zhang Yifei heard this, he gave Ah Hu a thumbs up, then looked back at Kossel and said, "Koser, let's start tuning the aerodynamic kit of the car now." ”

Kossel is an absolute expert in the tuning of the aerodynamic kit of a formula car, so he has to do it.

Korsell walked in front of the car, glanced at Ah Hu and nodded back: "The post-race overhaul is done well, but next time it's better to remove the basic two words, I want it to be absolutely complete." ”

On the track, Cosai is as serious as ever, because he has witnessed too many accidents on the track, and at least any slight mistake can lead to serious consequences, even endangering the life of the driver.

So he would rather be a "villain" at this time than relax his standards and requirements, even if Ah Hu and Brother Zhi are just pure newcomers, and today is the first time to independently overhaul the racing car.

"I see."

Ah Hu replied with a wince, he was still a little afraid of this serious old German man.

"Youjing, with mid-to-low aerodynamic tuning, with normal soft tires, and a set of rain tires ready for backup."

"Okay."

Yamamoto Youkyo nodded, and then immediately beckoned Ah Hu and Chen Zhi to adjust the air kit according to Koser's instructions.

However, Zhang Yifei is a little confused, it stands to reason that this kind of summer preparation is dry tires, even if Sell wants to experiment with the speed and matching of different tires like the Manikul track, he should also choose hard tires or super soft tires, what is the situation of rain tires?

"Kossel, why do you want to prepare a set of rain tires?"

Before Cosell could answer, He Ziling helped answer: "Because the weather in the UK is changeable, it is easy to have sudden rain, so prepare a set of rain tires to be prepared." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei suddenly remembered that when he was in school, the geography class also talked about the characteristics of temperate oceanic climate in London, which was mild, humid and rainy throughout the year.

I didn't expect to forget it now, and it seems that I really suffered a cultural loss.

"Tutor, it's fine-tuned, medium-to-low downforce."

"Hmm."

Corer nodded, then glanced at the time on his watch, and said to Zhang Yifei: "It's almost time, I'm ready to change into a racing suit and test run." ”

Zhang Yifei didn't grind, and went directly to the backstage to change into the racing suit, to be honest, this is the trouble of professional drivers, and there are too many equipment to prepare every time you sit in the car.

In less than ten minutes, Zhang Yifei changed into a full set of equipment and walked out, and saw Korcel squatting next to the car, fine-tuning the rear wing of the car with a very delicate attitude.

This is the character of an old German man, not just to be strict with others. Be more rigorous with yourself and minimize errors.

"You already know the track information, the first stage after the start of Silverstone is a continuous fast corner, remember what I said before, full throttle!"

"Don't worry, I won't let go of the throttle."

After learning the lesson last time, Zhang Yifei can be said to have engraved the data of the Silverstone track in his mind, so he doesn't need Korsell to remind him.

"Good, let me see your speed."

"You'll see."

Zhang Yifei replied without showing weakness, he would not make the same mistake twice!

Sitting in the car, Ah Hu took the igniter to ignite the engine, and Zhang Yifei drove the Renault car to the starting point of the track.

Unlike previous circuits, Silverstone has an interesting feature in that its starting area is arranged in a corner, so that the drivers at the back of the qualifying session cannot see the starting signal at all, and only pay attention to the movement of the drivers in front of them.

There was a big gap between the drivers in the lower ranks and the drivers in front of them, and the influence of the traffic lights made the disadvantage of the drivers at the bottom of the qualifying at Silverstone Circuit further expand.

It is precisely because of the increased difficulty of the counterattack that the competition among the drivers in the qualifying race is more intense, and no one wants to start at the back, and even the basic signal lights cannot be seen. Therefore, the fierce qualifying race has also become a feature of the Silverstone Circuit.

This time, Zhang Yifei did not choose to drive aggressively in the first lap, but honestly warmed up the tires to familiarize himself with the track.

Compared with other tracks, Zhang Yifei has plenty of time to memorize the data of the Silverstone Track. Therefore, every corner, during the test run, constantly began to coincide with those points in memory, and a familiar feeling arose.

In the pit pit, in the face of Zhang Yifei's unhurried warm-up lap, Cowel did not directly give instructions to Zhang Yifei to speed up like the Manikul Circuit, but just watched silently.

On the contrary, Yamamoto Ukyo next to him couldn't help it, and he asked, "Mentor, have you given up the radical style at this stop?" ”

Listening to Yamamoto Ukyo's half-inquiring and half-mocking tone, Korsell glared at his student, and then said slowly: "There is no pressure to fly here, and there is no need to take risks. ”

"Although there is no pressure of a driver agreement like Prost, this race will be about the ownership of the Renault European Championship championship, so it should still be a bit stressful, right?"

"I'm not talking about the pressure, it's the pressure that the other riders can't put on the fly, and they not only lost the race in the last race, but they also lost that winning spirit."

By the time the last race got to the end, except for Dixon, who still had the heart of the champion, the other drivers gave up early. Even when Dixon rushed off the track, even the competition for second place was like a pool of stagnant water, and these drivers felt like they were resigned to their fate, feeling that they couldn't run Zhang Yifei, so they didn't bother to run.

On the track, technology occupies a large factor, but when the technology is not much different, that desire for the championship will become the key point of victory or defeat.

A driver doesn't even expect a championship, so what can you expect them to run to the limit and pose a threat to Zhang Yifei?

So in this stop, as long as Zhang Yifei plays normally, even Kossel, who has always been known for his strictness, feels that there is not much suspense about the result of the game.

If you have to say it, then this stop is more about Zhang Yifei challenging himself.

Zhang Yifei on the track didn't know about the conversation between Korsell and Yamamoto Youkyo, otherwise he would definitely feel that the sun came out of the west, and Korsell actually felt that there was no need to take risks, which was really rare.

It was precisely because Zhang Yifei didn't know that as soon as he crossed the starting line on the second lap, Zhang Yifei directly stepped on the floor oil to the end, and then frantically upshifted, using the speed of full throttle to impact the first half of the Silverstone track.

In fact, full throttle is far from being as simple as imagined, and high-speed corners test the driver's driving skills and the limit of guts.

It's just that Zhang Yifei is forced by the pressure monster of Korcel, and he has almost taken the corners as a daily routine, and the speed of Renault's racing car has slowed down in his eyes.

This is like Fujiwara Takumi running Autumn Famous Mountain, when he gets used to the speed of AE86, he will feel that the car is getting slower and slower, and Zhang Yifei is the same now.
