“WOW…… What the hell is wrong with this world that it can be so crazy that the Williams team will give a rookie driver, an F1 test driver contract? ”

"I can't believe it, Prost is so confused, is Sir Williams blind too?"

"Is the Chinese kid so powerful, Prost and the Williams team are interested at the same time?"

"It's a shame, there isn't a single driver in Europe who can stop the Chinese, it's all rubbish!"

In addition to the reaction of the audience and fans, in the driver's P room, there was also a driver who looked at the big screen on the track and clenched his fists angrily.

This person is Dixon, he didn't expect that the members of the Williams Driver Development Program, which he was proud of, turned out to be worthless in front of Zhang Yifei.

The driver development plan, to put it bluntly, is a youth driver, and it is not as good as the F1 development driver identity that Ghosn gave Zhang Yifei before.

But for a kart driver like Dixon, being able to enter the development program of the Williams team is definitely the best to qualify.

If the Formula Renault Dixon does well this time, he may become a development driver for the Williams team after the run, and the future is bright.

Dixon has no doubts about his future in the F1 team. But today, all his pride and self-confidence were shattered in Prost and Williams' answers.

It turned out that the Chinese drivers he looked down on before had been able to get contracts for F1 official drivers and test drivers, leaving himself far behind.

Anger, humiliation, disobedience and other emotions surged into Dixon's heart, he didn't think that he was worse than Zhang Yifei, why was the treatment so different?

If he could, Dixon really wanted to rush into the track command center and ask Prost and Williams face-to-face what was wrong with this Chinese kid, was it because he didn't win the qualifying round?

Of course, this kind of face-to-face questioning scene is not possible, Dixon took a few deep breaths to calm his emotions. He understands that all resentment and reluctance are meaningless to these F1 bigwigs.

If you want them to regret it, or to be impressed, you have to prove yourself on the track with your results.

This time, Dixon will no longer follow Zhang Yifei as he did in qualifying, and he will not give this Chinese boy any chance!

Not only Dixon, but also the other drivers in the pits were also angry and jealous. After all, a Chinese rookie who they looked down on before stole the shine and attention of Renault's European Cup, and also got the attention of the F1 team boss, which is really unacceptable to them.

At the same time, many people have also made up their minds in their hearts, no matter what, they can't let Zhang Yifei win the sub-station championship and break the track record. It's not just for yourself, it's also for the sake of the European drivers!

"Sir Williams, you and Mr. Prost have really come to this day with shocking news. If it weren't for the fact that the race was about to start, I would have liked to ask you why you were interested in the riders at the same time. ”

"Now there will be a huge suspense on the track, that is, whether the Chinese driver Fei can win the Manicour race and break the track record at the same time?"

"If he does all this, he will create a miracle for Renault at the European Cup, which is to jump straight from Formula 1 driver to F1 team driver! It will be interesting to see if we can witness this miracle this afternoon! ”

As the time for the race approached, Ina could only say this closing remark to make the spectators focus their attention back on the track.

Indeed, as Ina said, all the audience is now full of anticipation and curiosity about whether they can witness a miracle of the primary formula today.

If Zhang succeeds, he will surpass Kimi's record of 23 Formula 1 races to enter the F1 team, as he has only run six!

This record is unprecedented, and there is even a high probability that there will be no one in the future, Zhang Yifei will create a history!

……

In the maintenance station, Zhang Yifei and his team members didn't have the heart to pay attention to the hustle and bustle outside, and even praised and praised, Zhang Yifei didn't have time to be proud.

When they came to the Manicour circuit, there was an unexpected situation, that is, the Toyota technical team, which had always arrived early, did not come to the pits today to prepare the car for the race.

For this unexpected situation, Zhang Yifei was a little confused, because the Toyota technical team was all there in the qualifying race yesterday, and they also did a good job of post-game maintenance, why did they suddenly not show up today?

"Junko, what the hell is going on, is it possible that the Toyota technical team is stuck in traffic on the road?"

Zhang Yifei came to the pit station and saw that there was no one, and he also teased Junko Takeda.

Because the car was completely overhauled after the race yesterday, today is just a little pre-race inspection, and it is not critical that the Toyota technical team is not there.

"I don't know, it's theoretically impossible to get stuck in traffic, this is a suburb."

The Manicour circuit is located halfway between Paris and Marseille, on the edge of the city, and it is impossible to have any racing problems. Moreover, Zhang Yifei and they did not have a car when they went out of the city from Paris, and the Toyota technical team theoretically had to arrive at the track in advance, so it was even more unlikely that there would be a traffic jam or something.

"I'll get in touch with the Toyota European Event Center to see what the hell is going on."

After Junko Takeda said this, she took out her mobile phone to contact the Toyota European event organization. Because Toyota focuses on Le Mans, the headquarters of the European event organization is set up in France, and any problems can be better solved.

Korsell also leaned over at this time, and said directly to Yamamoto Youjing: "Youjing, organize Ah Hu and Chen Zhi to overhaul the car, and the Toyota technical team should not come over." ”

"What do you mean?"

After Zhang Yifei heard this, he felt a little puzzled.

"It's impossible for the technical team of a professional tournament organization to make this kind of low-level mistake of not being there, so they must have something important happening if they didn't come."

"According to the efficiency of the average large company, it will not be solved for a while and a half, and the race will start soon, and the car will be overhauled first."

When Yamamoto Youkyo on the side heard this, he immediately beckoned Ah Hu and Chen Zhi to conduct pre-game maintenance.

Toyota's technical team had already overhauled it last night, so the pressure on Ah Hu was not great, and they could cope with it.

"That's right, super soft tyres."

Korsell added that yesterday he was on normal soft tyres in qualifying, and today he plans to go on super-soft tyres.

"Mentor, Yifeijun's results yesterday were very good, and he can break the track record stably with soft tires, is it necessary to risk with super soft tires?"

Ukyo Yamamoto asked, with yesterday's speed, the soft tyres were no problem, and the last few laps with the ultra-soft tyres would be at risk of getting out of control.

"Do you think the supersoft tyres are meant to break the track record?"

After saying this, a rare sneer appeared on Korcel's face.

"My purpose with the super soft tyres is to get the first few laps and get rid of the opponent as fast as possible, otherwise he might have a problem finishing the race."

Hearing this, a solemn expression appeared on Yamamoto Ukyo's face, and the blockade on the track yesterday was still vivid. Perhaps for Zhang Yifei, the most terrifying thing is not to challenge the Manikul circuit, but to the opponents on those tracks!

"I understand the mentor, this stop depends on the absolute hard power of Yifeijun!"

Yamamoto Ukyo also knew that what Zhang Yifei would face would be an extremely difficult battle, and even completing the game would be a problem if he was not careful.

Under such a threat, how can you take the risk of losing grip in the last few laps and running until the last few laps!

Yamamoto Ukyo quickly changed the tires and did all the tests for the car, and on the other side, Junko Takeda walked over with a suspicious face.

"Yi Feijun, I just asked the Toyota European Racing Organization about the technician team, and they replied to me that the Toyota Le Mans team needs manpower, so the technical team has been temporarily transferred back, and this race may be missed."

"However, the Toyota Racing Organization in Europe, the largest division of Toyota's racing division, competes in Le Mans and other endurance events all year round, and the scale of the technical team is very large, so it stands to reason that there will not be a shortage of manpower."

Junko Takeda was previously an assistant for the Toyota Endurance Team, and was familiar with the scale of the Toyota racing section. As Japan's largest car manufacturer and an international giant, there is no doubt about its strength, so this situation is a bit illogical.

"Let's put this matter aside for the time being, Ah Hu, they have no problem dealing with pre-race maintenance, and then communicate with the Toyota European event organization after the game."

Zhang Yifei doesn't have time to understand what is happening in a big company like Toyota, the race is about to start, and he has to change into a racing suit to prepare.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Yifei changed into a full set of equipment and came out of the backstage, and Yamamoto Ukyo also led Ah Hu to change the tires of the Renault car, and did a good job of pre-race inspection to ensure that there would be no problems on the track.

Korcel handed the helmet to Zhang Yifei, and then instructed: "You are in pole position this time, you must try your best to take advantage of the super soft tires, and leave the opponent behind at the beginning, and don't give them any chance to block or even collide." ”

"I understand."

Zhang Yifei nodded, he had experienced a qualifying race, but the other drivers were quite restrained at that time, just contained, and there was no malicious collision.

But now it's hard to say everything in the main race, and the best way to avoid the risk is to leave all opponents far behind and not give them any chance!

At the track command center, at this time, the starting order came, and Korsell patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder and said before he sat in the car: "I believe in your strength, crush them on the track!" ”
