Cosell's sentence, translated in the Chinese way, is to ask Prost, a conservative old man, to open it, which is faster than the current Zhang Yifei!

To be honest, Zhang Yifei is not convinced by this, if Prost at his peak comes to drive, he will definitely not dare to say that he is better than Prost.

Because conservatism is just a style, it doesn't mean that Prost's driving skills are bad, and the person who can win the drivers' championship four times, if the driving skills are not good, then the other F1 drivers are not even as good as garbage?

Maybe this garbage classification also includes a car god like Senna.

Because the two of them competed in the same era, Prost's record was not much lost to Senna, and in the two years that the two were teammates, Prost's points were still slightly better than Senna.

But Prost, who is now nearly fifty years old, must be an exaggeration to say that he is an old man.

However, he has been retired for five or six years, and both his driving skills and physical strength have declined greatly.

Even if it is as strong as Schumacher, who comes back after four years of retirement, and is still in a strong team like Mercedes-Benz, the results are slightly bleak.

Prost is currently much older than Schumacher, who has made his second comeback, after all, he has been more busy with team management over the years, and Zhang Yifei really doesn't believe that he can run faster than himself.

Of course, this kind of muttering in his heart, Zhang Yifei will definitely not say it. After all, this is an excuse for Cosell, either drive faster or choose to shut up!

"I do my best."

Zhang Yifei could only reply silently, he did feel that he had done his best, and he did not have the conservative or fear of death that Kossel had reminded before.

But sometimes the innate gap is not to say that you want to make up for it, you can make up for it by running two laps on the track.

Every European track is completely unfamiliar to Zhang Yifei, and it takes less than half a month to prepare for it, from track data, cornering routes, and then on-site test runs, and final races to achieve perfection.

High-speed tracks like Monza or Hockenheim are a little better, with fewer corners and fast speeds, which is very suitable for Zhang Yifei's style. Although the risk of making a mistake in a high-speed corner is much higher, at least it is not such a huge memory.

"I don't want to do my best, I want to be as fast as possible, don't you understand? The word "best effort" means nothing to a driver, no one cares about your effort! ”

Korcel once again showed the attribute of a pressure monster, the so-called best effort is worthless in his eyes, is it possible to say that after losing the game, he can get back the championship by saying his best efforts?

If a driver like Senna and Schumacher who has stood at the top of the game makes a mistake in a race, or the age factor declines, and finally fails to achieve the desired result, there may be many fans or spectators who can understand.

But Zhang Yifei, a rookie like him, who do you try your best to tell to listen? There aren't even a few fans who want to hear it, and the average audience won't care if you try your best, they just know that you lost!

"One more lap, the slow corners behind me will speed me up, it doesn't matter if you rush off the track, the buffer zone and the braking power of the car are enough to ensure that you don't get seriously injured!"

Korsell even said something that could be called "cold-blooded" at this time, which made the other members of the pit couldn't help but gasp.

Before, Kossel basically didn't coach much, after all, in his words, even the primary formula had to be taught, so when you enter F1, do you have to get a two-seater to guide behind the back?

As a result, I didn't expect that once he intervened in the whole process, he would be so violent and radical, no wonder Prost, who was conservative back then, would have a conflict of ideas with him, even to the point of incompatibility in the end.

Maybe at that time, the McLaren team, except for crazy drivers like Senna, who would accept Cosell's strategy, other drivers couldn't accept this kind of race engineer who didn't take rushing off the track seriously.

However, Korsell did say the key point, that is, slow corners have the advantage of slow corners, that is, the risk of slow speed is relatively low.

For ordinary family vehicles, if there is any out-of-control accident at a speed of about 100 kilometers per hour, it may be the end of the car crash and death. But for formula cars, hundreds of kilometers per hour is simply the starting speed!

In which F1 race, the speed does not exceed 100km/h when you start with a casual foot of the accelerator?

Since there is such a strong power, it is natural to have the same strong braking power, otherwise the formula car will not be able to drive, and there will be no competition at all if it cannot slow down at any corner.

It is precisely because of the strong braking force and the low enough suspension chassis that the formula car can ensure the safety of the driver's life as much as possible in the high-speed runaway state.

Formula cars are dangerous, but thanks to the strong handling of the drivers and the strong performance of the cars, the higher the level of formula cars, the mortality rate is surprisingly low.

The last fatality on the Formula 1 track was the Senna accident in 1994. If you count the future generations, we must add a 2014 Japan station, the Marusia team Bianchi, crashed into a rescue crane, resulting in a serious head injury, and died after being in a coma for more than nine months.

In fact, Bianchi's fatal accident had little to do with the safety of the car, and at that time the rescue crane was towing another F1 car off the track.

Theoretically, in this case, it is difficult to have an accident in the state of a yellow flag deceleration reminder.

However, the weather on the track was bad at that time, and Lazia, the official driver of the Bianchi team, was a sponsorship paid driver, and the sponsorship funds were not in place at that time, so the team directly asked the test driver Bianchi to take over.

The lack of racing experience combined with carelessness eventually led to such an accident, which is the only on-track fatality in Formula 1 in the past two decades.

Of course, it is now 1999, and the deaths of Senna and Larsenberg have not been in the past few years, and the safety and rules of the car are far from being as standardized as in later generations.

This requirement of Kossel can be regarded as the most demanding challenge on the track.

"Okay, I'll drive faster!"

Zhang Yifei gritted his teeth and agreed to Cosell's request.

The last time I played on the track, I lost my life and went back to 20 years ago.

After all, he has experienced it once, Zhang Yifei doesn't believe in God, and he can push himself back for another twenty years.

On lap 21, Zhang Yifei's car accelerated again, using a more extreme speed to challenge the record of the Manikul circuit.

However, in the corners in front of them, where there were thrilling situations, Zhang Yifei was already able to turn very smoothly at this time.

Maybe this is the benefit of being "squeezed" by Cosell, when the limit is broken, then it can no longer be called the limit. What Zhang Yifei has to do is to find a faster way to turn in those slow corners behind.

The speed of the 21 laps did not improve much, because Zhang Yifei chose to delay braking many times, or the more extreme cornering route, which made the handling more difficult and cautious. Even when he felt that the car was about to get out of control, Zhang Yifei had to brake sharply to slow down the speed.

As long as there is such a sudden braking on the track, and a few tenths of a second of time is wasted, the lap loses the opportunity to challenge the track record.

Lap 22 and lap 23 were still the same, with Zhang Yifei constantly wandering on the edge of losing control, looking for his cornering limit.

It wasn't until lap 26 that Ukyo Yamamoto of the pit pits, in surprise, said to Koser: "Mentor, this lap is a lap when Feijun breaks the track record, and his lap time is 1:25.252!" ”

Ukyo Yamamoto's tone was very excited, and to be able to break the track record in the test run stage is definitely a top result for a junior Formula driver!

Moreover, Zhang Yifei's foundation is inferior to the average European junior formula novice, but he has never touched the Manikul circuit at all. Now he can break the track record in more than 20 laps, which can be described as a genius.

In the future, there will be not only talented drivers and gods in Europe, but also in the near future, there will be a talented driver in Asia, or even a god of cars!

Korsell nodded when he heard Yamamoto Ukyo's words, although he kept saying that Zhang Yifei was too slow, and he had to throw off the track record by a large margin, so as to ensure a stable performance in the main race.

But how could you not know the difficulty of breaking track records, given Korcel's extensive team experience?

But he had no choice, so he could only use a stern attitude to put enough pressure on Zhang Yifei and force him to challenge the limit.

If Zhang Yifei can withstand such pressure, then he will naturally burst out of his potential and run faster.

As for Zhang Yifei's potential, Cowsell has never doubted this, and he believes that Zhang Yifei is not inferior to any European talented driver, otherwise he would not have become Zhang Yifei's race engineer.

Can't bear the pressure, Kossel also didn't think about it, this little pressure can't be bearable, and he still wants to be an F1 driver in the future?

Even if he is lucky enough to enter the F1 team, he will not be able to stand on his feet, and if he can't bear it, it means that Zhang Yifei is not worthy of being called an F1 driver, it's that simple.

"Barely qualified, but it could be faster."

"Faster? Mentor, now the racing tires of Yi Feijun are in the peak area, and if they are more aggressive underneath, they may not have enough grip to rush off the track. ”

Faced with Yamamoto Ukyo's idea of emphasizing safety, Kossel's brows furrowed, he didn't expect this student to be more conservative than he expected.

Fortunately, he is only a data analyst, and if he becomes a race engineer to develop tactics, how can a breakthrough be possible under his conservative approach before a rookie driver has no opinion?

"Don't keep thinking about the consequences of going off the track, if you choose to be a driver, then there is a time to rush out."

"I'm not just going to take the plunge, the Manicour circuit is the gentlest track of the seven races at the Renault European Championship. Whether it is a shoulder or a barrier, there is almost no height drop. ”

"If you don't dare to challenge this track, then the other tracks are real adventures. Don't worry, there will be no big accidents when flying, this kid's emergency response is faster than we imagined! ”
