"Yifei-kun, what do you mean?"

Yamamoto Youjing was relatively straight-headed, and he didn't understand Zhang Yifei's intention at all.

Could it be that Zhang Yifei plans to keep himself? But the problem is that with Zhang Yifei's current strength, he can't afford to raise an individual team at all.

And he and Junko Takeda are both adults, so they can be hot-headed for a while, and come to Europe to witness Zhang Yifei's growth.

But it is impossible to completely ignore it, how far can you go with Zhang Yifei in this way? After all, it is still a feast that is not dispersed in the world.

Looking at the puzzled and expectant eyes of Yamamoto Ukyo and Junko Takeda, Zhang Yifei didn't plan to continue going around in circles, but spoke directly.

"When you went to Le Mans this morning, Prost came to the hotel and signed me an official F1 driver's contract."

"At the same time, I made an agreement with him that we would join the Prost team as a team."

"Of course, the treatment may not be as good as you are at Toyota, after all, the Prost team is about to go bankrupt. But I assure you that you won't regret your decision in the future! ”

When Zhang Yifei said the last sentence, his tone completely changed, and it can be described in these four words, because this is his commitment to Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto.

To be honest, because of historical reasons, Zhang Yifei doesn't like history in his heart, but this does not prevent him from looking at some people and things objectively.

In particular, Zhang Yifei's life creed is to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness. The help of Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto has always been in his heart, and if one day he can really get ahead and stand at the top of the driver's ranks.

That Zhang Yifei naturally won't let Junko Takeda regret it, and give up everything today to follow his own decision!

"You really made a deal with Prost, and the professor would make such a concession?"

Junko Takeda asked rhetorically with a little disbelief, she didn't think about any treatment issues, she just felt that with a calculating character like "professor", how could she agree to Zhang Yifei's additional conditions.

"In the face of $2 million, it is acceptable to make a small concession."

"Two million dollars?"

At this time, Junko Takeda was completely confused, where did Zhang Yifei get the two million US dollars.

"Well, two million dollars in sponsorship, in exchange, you can all get into the Prost team."

It turned out to be a sponsorship, Junko Takeda showed a look of enlightenment on her face, and she was surprised where Zhang Yifei got so much money.

However, if it is a sponsorship, then the money is really not much, let alone Formula 1, as far as Junko Takeda remembers that the sponsorship of the Le Mans team is rarely in the sponsorship price of two million US dollars.

"How's it going, have you decided to stay?"

"Of course Sister Junzi and Brother Youjing have to stay!"

Ah Hu replied excitedly at this time, he didn't want his two "teachers" to leave.

"You don't speak, no one is dumb for you."

Zhang Yifei replied angrily, the emotions he brewed were all ruined by this stupid boy.

"We're here to stay."

Ukyo Yamamoto nodded to Junko Takeda and said the answer without hesitation.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Yifei smiled and smiled very happily.

……

A few days later, Prost held a grand press conference to officially announce that Zhang Yifei had joined the Prost team. From this moment on, Zhang Yifei will be one of the F1 drivers.

At the press conference, almost all the sports media in Europe came over, one is because of Zhang Yifei's special status as a Chinese, this is the first F1 driver from China.

Another point is the "legendary" of Zhang Yifei's entry into the F1 team, six races directly from the junior formula team, three consecutive jumps to the F1 team, can definitely be described as a miracle.

And Zhang Yifei has also become the youngest driver in F1 history, even from the 2000 season next year, Zhang Yifei is still almost eighteen years old.

Probably no one expected that the crown of the youngest driver would be taken by a Chinese driver. If nothing else, this record will remain in place until 2014, when it is broken by Dutch driver Verstappen, who signed for Toro Rosso at the age of sixteen.

That's why today's press conference is so grand, because too many people want to know about this Chinese driver.

After a brief introduction to the driver and a formal contract signing ceremony, it was time for today's media interview.

The media reporters in the audience had already been impatient, and as soon as they entered the question session, a reporter picked up the microphone and asked Zhang Yifei a question.

"Hello, fly, I'm a journalist from Eurosport. We all know that your professional record is just six Formula Renaults, so if you make it to F1 like that, do you think you can be a Formula 1 driver? ”

"Of course, I have no doubt about my strength."

Zhang Yifei is not polite, this is the advantage of facing interviews with European media reporters, they ask directly, and they can answer directly, without thinking about the impact.

"But so far, you haven't had any test drive experience in Formula Plus, does that affect you?"

"Now that you know I've only run six Formula Renault races, I suggest you check my previous race record. Before I ran the Renault European Cup, I only participated in one Hong Kong Island Karting Championship, didn't I sweep the Renault European Cup? ”

"So I don't think I have any test drive experience in Formula 1, which doesn't affect me in the slightest because there's still a winter break to get used to."

After Zhang Yifei finished speaking, another reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Zhang Yifei, I am a reporter from AFP, according to your formula results, it is impossible to get a super driver's license, how will this be solved?" ”

"How did Kimi get it, and so will I."

"So you mean, Renault European Cup, you will win the championship?"

"It's not what I mean, but it's true, do you think there is anyone else who is my opponent in the current Renault European Cup?"

Zhang Yifei replied extremely domineeringly, after several rounds of competition, powerful opponents have been laid down by Zhang Yifei, and he is qualified to say this.

When this sentence was spoken, it triggered a burst of whispers, basically saying that Zhang Yifei was really the same as the rumors, not the character of Chinese, closer to the arrogance of Westerners.

Even Prost, who was on the press table, couldn't help but glance sideways at Zhang Yifei a few times, this kid was too full of words.

Sure enough, Zhang Yifei's remarks aroused the dissatisfaction of a reporter below.

"Fei, I'm a reporter for The Times, and since you're so confident, I know if you had any expectations for your first season in F1?"

"At the same time, I would like to remind you that so far you have only participated in junior formula races, and F1 can gather the best drivers in the world, and the strength is not at the same level at all."

This question is really a bit difficult for Zhang Yifei, that is, what is the expectation of his first season in F1.

Zhang Yifei has the confidence to sweep Formula Renault, which does not mean that he has the confidence and strength to sweep the F1 field.

In fact, apart from Schumacher of the Ferrari dynasty, there is basically no one who can sweep the general situation. Even if it was Senna, the god of cars, he still had an old rival Prost at the time.

Even Kimi, who made the first "triple jump" to enter the F1 team, won a total of nine points in his first season in F1.

If you look at this kind of result from Renault's eyes, it is simply a spicy chicken, a fighting champion is 10 points, and only 9 points after running more than a dozen F1 stations, which is equivalent to most of the time, let alone on the podium, and even the top six did not run.

But you must know that these 9 points have turned the outside world's previous doubts about his strength into an affirmation of the name of "talented driver", and even attracted the attention of McLaren Racing.

The McLaren team in 02, although it did not have the early dynasty rule in F1, still ranked in the top three in the standings, and still had the identity and status of the Big Three.

A rookie driver who was able to join McLaren the team the following year and replace World Champion Mika Hakkinen is enough to see how important those nine points are.

This also confirms from the side that the overall competitive level of F1 drivers is very high, and the talented drivers who have swept the junior formula have been qualified, as long as they score 9 points in the first year, they are already qualified to be recognized as excellent!

"Kimi hasn't finished the season this year and my expectation is to have one more point than his total."

Zhang Yifei really didn't know what he expected in his first season of F1, so he could only take Kimi out to block the gun. Who is called formula racing So far, in addition to himself, the only one who has completed the miracle of "triple jump" is Kimi.

Even if Zhang Yifei doesn't block the gun, the media will compare the two in the future.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, you mean, you are better than Kimi?"

"You can understand it that way."

Zhang Yifei didn't flinch, and he couldn't retreat at this time. After all, Zhang Yifei's dream, but the man who became the car god, Kimi is very strong, but there is still a distance from the car god.

With Zhang Yifei's "arrogant brother" present, the media reporter always seemed more active, and the reporter's voice was not completely behind, and the next reporter quickly took the microphone and wanted to continue to ask Zhang Yifei.

But at this moment, Prost took the microphone and interrupted the rhythm of the question.

He is the habit of conservatives, Zhang Yifei's remarks are already too arrogant, if it can't be achieved by then, it is not as simple as talking, it will have a great negative impact on himself and the team, at least ridicule is inevitable.

So Prost could only interrupt the question, and then said a few inconsequential minor questions, and the press conference was over.

Back in the background, Prost's face was not very good-looking, he looked at Zhang Yifei and said: "Fei, you have to remember the change of your identity, from now on you are not only representing individuals, but also representing the Prost team, what you just said will have a great adverse impact on the team!" ”

"That's if I can't do it, what if I can do it?"

"Do you really think you're better than Kimi?"

Prost's tone was filled with a sense of anger, because Zhang Yifei's answer made him feel Cosell's style.

He can let go of his grudge with Kossel, but he still can't accept Kossel's radical style!

"It's not that I think, but I'm bound to surpass Kimi!"
