"You mean, it was your team that invited me to join before?" Hearing Li Fanyu's words, Alonso's thick eyebrows furrowed.

Just last year, despite believing that F1 was no longer passionate about him, he was able to take home a championship trophy for his club, Mercedes, thanks to his work ethic.

The circuit is a place where results speak, and if he had been in the past, he would have undoubtedly become the king of the racing world.

But this year, Li Fanyu's sideways appearance and shocking performance at Le Mans made him deeply suspicious.

In his opinion, a driver is just fast and not something to be wary of. Around him, there are more than 20 guys with super driver's licenses, including teammates Hamilton and Rosberg, and opponents such as Ricardo Raikkonen, all of whom have speed.

But he can still get the most points in this group. This comes from the car's IQ and absolute consistency.

After watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans, which detonated the racing world, he was shocked by Li Fanyu's driving skills. Having absolute speed while also having the same route selection and tactical strategy as you own, such a driver is not easy!

Such a person is especially terrifying in his opinion.

So for Li Fanyu, he has mixed feelings: on the one hand, he regrets not competing with such a person in F1, and on the other hand, he is also glad that he did not meet such an opponent in the later stages of his career.

And now, covering up a guy who personally called and invited him to join his own team, or the FE team, made Alonso very resistant and puzzled.

"Hey, you're so rich, why don't you try it in F1, if you can make a car like Chunjun, I think I might consider working with you." ”

Hearing Alonso's polite refusal, Li Fanyu smiled, "Fernando, you know that with the current technology, you can't use the V6 engine to express the strength of the 16 standard." But you don't have to say it that absolutely, and now the rules of FE have been changed to allow teams to use their own batteries and motors. With such a mechanism, the cars in Formula E will definitely get faster and faster, rather than slower and slower like in F1. I think here you'll experience the speed of the race, not backwards like F1."

"But so far, those cars are still slow like turtles, aren't they?" Alonso disagreed.

Li Fanyu can't argue with this, but he has his own way of convincing others: "Fernando, the car we participated in FE has been trial-produced, I think, you can test drive it and then consider whether what you just said is correct and objective." If you have time. ”

There was no mention of money in their conversation, because one of them was no longer interested in it, and the other was not short of money at all.

For Alonso, although Li Fanyu has a grudge against him, he still admires this guy from the bottom of his heart. At least he relied on other people's car skills to kill all sides. It's also my own teacher.

Alonso was silent for a moment.

In fact, he wanted to cover up and hang up the phone, but when he thought of the Chunjun he ordered and the flying electric motorcycle that that guy made a few days ago, he agreed to it.

．．．．．．

Two days later, when the race was completely over, Alonso stepped on the plane to China alone.

In the workshop of Zhengxin's high-performance R&D department, Alonso met Li Fanyu, who was leading the engineers to tune the FE test car.

"Hey!" Seeing Alonso coming over so soon, Li Fanyu was quite excited, "Fernando, I knew you would come!"

Alonso shrugged helplessly, "You'd better let me come for some value." Heaven can testify that I don't like to waste time. ”

Li Fanyu spread his hands, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and the car is still being debugged." ”

Alonso gave him a cold look and walked over to the car.

"Hmm," Alonso's face softened a little when he saw the black aerodynamic package, "I have to admit that in terms of the degree of freedom in the appearance of the aerodynamic package, the FE is indeed better than the F1." It doesn't matter if such a car has performance or not, but first of all, I want to praise it, it's beautiful. ”

Li Fanyu smiled and said a few words to Wang Rui and the others to make them stop.

"COMEON, FERNANDO, I'M SURE YOU'LL BE MORE INTERESTED IN HIS INNER BEING. ”

F1 drivers are all directly involved in tuning, so the work they are doing is also an area that Alonso is familiar with. And probably in this field, as one of the best drivers in the world, he has more say than most engineers.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Ignoring the electric system that he didn't know, just walking around the car and seeing the tuning work that Li Fanyu was doing, Alonso raised his head unexpectedly.

The sci-fi shape of the car has a large rear wing, which means that the tuners want to improve the stability of the car as much as possible without compromising the car's ability to know the top speed.

The angle of the front wing is also large, which maximizes grip for the front wheels.

The chassis is low, so low that it looks lower than many F1 cars Alonso has ever seen.

After a quick glance at the shape, Alonzo understood the intent of the tuning team and asked the central question: "What is its maximum speed, and is it worth the amount of downforce you are providing to the body?"

Li Fanyu shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

Alonso shook his head and walked around the car again. This time, when he got serious, he looked at it carefully;

The front springs are stiff, which allows the front to react quickly and keep the chassis height as low as possible.

The rear springs are soft, which ensures that the rear end has enough traction when braking and accelerating into corners.

In contrast to this spring tuning, the front damping is soft – this ensures that the front wheel grips.

The rear damping is stiff – this ensures rear stability through high-speed corners.

The front and rear two sets of anti-roll bars play a role in harmonizing the spring and damper. It looks pretty mediocre, but it feels just right.

After a round of banging and turning, Alonso walked up to Li Fanyu's side, "If I can, I'd like to drive up and have a look." To be honest, without an engine and gearbox, I always felt like he was a toy rather than a race car. ”

Li Fanyu's eyebrows raised, wanting to say something, but he held it back.

Wang Rui on the side said with a comical smugness: "Mr. Alonso, you will change your opinion." ”

Half an hour later, Alonso, who had changed into a suit provided by Li Fanyu, got up and stepped into the car.

Li Fanyu buckled the transparent hatch on top of his head and said with an infinite electric channel: "Fernando, this hatch is specially designed for you to be extra-large. ”

Alonso rolled his eyes, raised his middle finger and stepped on the gas.

When the car entered the test circuit of the Zhengxin R&D center, Alonso was stunned the moment he started to accelerate.

The driving sensation of this big toy......

It's a bit of a surprise!
