"Ghosn, no wonder the Chinese kid turned down your invitation, he really has a lot of personality."

In the VIP seat of the track, an old man in a wheelchair teased Ghosn, vice president of Renault next to him, and this old man was the founder of the Williams team, Frank Williams.

Hearing this, Ghosn's face was a little unnatural, after all, for a person of his status, it was a very shameless thing to be rejected by a junior driver.

Seeing that Ghosn next to him was embarrassed and didn't speak, Sir Williams continued: "In fact, I have also paid attention to Fei, and his strength is very strong, but in today's game, the pole position will only belong to Williams' Dixon!" ”

Sir Williams spoke confidently, and he came to the Manicour circuit this time to see Dixon take pole position, in addition to Ghosn's invitation.

You must know that Dixon is a newcomer to the team that Sir Williams personally signed and focuses on cultivating this year. If nothing else, he is likely to join the Williams F1 team in the future.

"Sir Williams, don't be too early, Formula Renault brings together some of Europe's best drivers, and everyone is very strong. Besides, Dixon's current results are not as good as the Chinese newcomers. ”

Ghosn also replied unconvinced, because he and Sir Williams were old friends, so there was no hypocritical politeness.

In fact, it is not only Ghosn and Williams who have a good relationship, but also Renault and Williams Racing have been good partners.

Five of the nine championships won by Williams Racing have used engines supplied by Renault.

"That's because Dixon didn't play to his full strength, and today's qualifying match will be his showtime."

Williams said this with a smile, looking confident. The reason is also very simple, that is, Dixon once trained at the British headquarters and showed amazing strength, not losing to Kimi Raikkonen, who created a miracle last year.

It's just that Dixon's personality is very strange, he belongs to the kind of driver who does his own thing, and only when he meets a real master can he stimulate his inner desire for victory, and Zhang Yifei is his latest target.

"Sir Williams, it's understandable to be optimistic about your drivers, but it wasn't easy to take pole position today. Whether it is Massa, or Kubica, who was defeated in the last stop, or even Suarez and Makina, they are all eyeing themselves to prove themselves. ”

After saying these names, Ghosn hesitated for a moment, and finally added: "And fly." ”

Putting aside the unhappiness caused by the invitation result, Ghosn chose to invite Zhang Yifei as a development driver in the first place, naturally recognizing his strength.

And Ghosn also has to admit that Zhang Yifei is the strongest and conspicuous driver so far, even if he is second in the standings, he is one race away from him.

"It seems that President Ghosn, you still look good."

"If you are optimistic, you have to give enough treatment to impress the driver, for example, if Fei Neng beats Dixon today, I will give him a contract as a test driver."

In addition to being ruthless in abandoning drivers, Sir Williams will also give what he wants to the drivers he joins. Even as one of the current Big Three teams in the F1 paddock, he is not shy about a test driver contract.

It is precisely because Williams is willing to commit himself that he will still have a "ruthless" reputation that there are still drivers willing to join the Williams team.

"Would you like to give a test rider contract?"

Even knowing that Williams has a pragmatic style of action still surprises Ghosn, after all, Williams is not one of those small teams.

"Of course, it depends on whether Fei has the strength to take it, but I don't think he has much hope today."

"Then we'll see."

Ghosn's interest is also coming up at this time, after all, this is a top big contract.

If Zhang Yifei can get the pole position and become the test driver of the Williams team, this is not only his own completion of the "triple jump", but also has a huge publicity effect for Formula Renault, which is no less than Kimi's previous signing with Sauber Racing, which is a win-win situation!

On the track, Zhang Yifei was all ready, and Kossel and the others had already left the track and stood behind the fence.

The indicator light above began to light up, and a thirty-minute countdown appeared on the other sign.

All the drivers kept their eyes on the indicators, and although the speed of the start did not affect the fastest lap, they were able to rush to the front and still have an advantage.

In addition to locking the indicator lights on the track, many drivers also set their eyes on Zhang Yifei, who has truly become the "public enemy" on the track today. In order to prove that these drivers are not cowards, the best way for these drivers is to beat Zhang Yifei!

The moment the start indicator went out, the roar of the engine instantly resounded in the field, and all the drivers frantically banged on the accelerator to grab a good position as fast as possible.

Zhang Yifei is the same, stepping on the accelerator to the end, delaying his upshifting time, trying to keep the engine with sufficient torque, and accelerating after encountering obstacles when starting.

Just as Zhang Yifei predicted, the drivers in front of him frantically merged in their own direction after starting, trying to block Zhang Yifei's driving route. It doesn't matter if your lap speed is a little slower, at least you have a bad breath first.

"Holy, is this still a professional race car? None of these drivers are going to fight for pole position? ”

Behind the fence, Ah Hu, who had not yet returned to the pit, saw that the other drivers were frantically surrounding Zhang Yifei, and he didn't even care about his speed, so he couldn't help but complain.

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it."

Brother Zhi replied faintly, and rarely dragged a sentence.

"Brother Zhi, I have a headache now that I have learned English, please stop talking about ancient Chinese!"

Ah Hu was crying with a sad face at this time, Brother Zhi shouldn't have been stupid for this period of time.

"No wonder Yifei said that you are uneducated, you really want to see more and learn more in the future!"

Seeing that these two people were still in the mood for, Yamamoto Youkyo shook his head helplessly, the situation on the track was far from being so optimistic, and Zhang Yifei was obviously targeted by other drivers.

You must know that in normal qualifying, everyone wants to run their fastest lap, and they don't care about being overtaken or anything.

Because when you make defensive moves, you are bound to disrupt your line and slow down. But there's more to your opponent than the one behind you, so instead of doing this lose-lose move, it's better to run your own way and fight for a better qualifying order.

But now the situation is completely different, and if other drivers do the same, they will inevitably suppress Zhang Yifei's lap time. Even if it exceeds this, there is another, or even all of them, and maybe there will be a ring rider doing something.

"Mentor, the situation is very serious."

Ukyo Yamamoto couldn't help but say.

"Hmm."

Korsell nodded, and to be honest, this situation was something he didn't expect, and it was even the first time in the Renault series.

"Go back to the pit station first, and you can only break the situation by flying yourself."

After Korcel said this, he turned and walked straight towards the pits.

Seeing that the mentor had no good way, Yamamoto Ukyo sighed, and could only rely on Yifei-kun himself.

Zhang Yifei on the other side, the expression on his face was also very serious, he thought that some drivers were not convinced, and they would definitely find themselves on the track to do things. After all, many racing rules and punishments are not severe in these years, and it is not uncommon for F1 races to knock opponents off the track.

But Zhang Yifei didn't expect that there would be so many drivers blocking him, basically as long as he overtook a car, the other car in front of him would inevitably take a defensive posture and lower Zhang Yifei's speed.

Because it was a qualifying race, Zhang Yifei didn't care about the order of his parking spaces, so there were more than a dozen cars in front of him. If you do this every time, you can run the first few laps in vain.

What's more, these drivers seem to have reached a tacit agreement to just block themselves and let other drivers overtake them.

In this way, another situation has been formed, that is, even if Zhang Yifei overtakes one car, the integer may not be reduced.

"The exciting qualifying session has finally begun, but it was a bit of a strange situation on the track today, with a lot of drivers taking a defensive stance to stop the cars behind them, as if they were in the race.

"If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be only one driver who has been blocked, and that is the Chinese driver Fei. This situation is very rare in formula racing, and only the wingmen of the same team would do this kind of white-glove thing. ”

But today, these riders all chose to block the flight, and it seems that some pre-race remarks angered the riders in the field, which is their means of response. I wonder what strategy Fei will adopt to break the current situation? ”

Red, the event commentator, explained the situation on the track in an unexpected tone. To be honest, he's been commenting on formula racing for a few years, and it's the first time he's seen this kind of scene on the track.

After all, it's very simple to offend one person, and it's really a bit difficult to offend all opponents and get them to unite against them. Unfortunately, Zhang Yifei just did just that.

"FUCK, do you want to be shameless, what about fair competition on the track?"

"I don't think it's a coward, just defeat the driver Fei in a dignified manner, using this despicable means, a group of people to pick one out of one?"

"Damn, what a bunch of people who can't afford to lose!"

Some people in the audience began to scold, and to be honest, some remarks were really wronged by the drivers on the track.

They did not choose to collude against Zhang Yifei, this situation will occur, it is purely a coincidence.

After all, there are a group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers on the track, who are in the rebellious period of their lives, and in order to breathe this breath, they can lose, but they must not let the Chinese win!
