If you build a formula maintenance team that is completely your own, it is really impossible.

But if you just add a few Chinese members, this is very feasible.

Because not all F1 teams are top engineers, for example, the engine development part, this is what car manufacturers should do, and it can't be counted in the race.

It's like a general car manufacturer, R&D is one department, and the racing division is another separate part.

The most high-tech position in the Formula 1 team is the technical director, which is also the soul of the Formula 1 team on the field, usually with an excellent technical and scientific background, this position leads the overall design and development of the car, and belongs to the team's management.

Next is the race engineer, which is the highest-level position among the team engineers, and it is probably the position of chief engineer in China.

The race engineer is solely responsible for setting up the car and managing the logistics maintenance team. They are also the ones who work most closely with the drivers, and often change teams as the drivers move from one to the other.

This position is a position that can be looked up to by top engineers in China, but at this stage, there is only one thing left to look up, which is out of reach.

Below is the chief technician, this is the person in charge of the specific maintenance level, if Brother Zhi or Ah Hu are skilled enough, they can take on this position.

At the bottom level is the general mechanic, which does not require any special technical background, as long as you have racing knowledge and ordinary vehicle maintenance level. Under normal circumstances, a beginner technician will have a few years of experience in Formula 1 before becoming an F1 technician, and then after group experience, he will eventually be transferred to the racing team.

For example, when you see an F1 car entering the pit on TV, a group of people come around to change tires or something, and these people are basically mechanics.

In fact, there are some temporary positions at the bottom, and since they are not official members of the team, they are naturally not considered to be the race maintenance team.

At present, Zhang Yifei has not yet entered F1, so there are no such constraints, like Formula Renault, which is a personal driver and a private team, and he can bring his own maintenance team, but all the costs are borne by himself.

Since he can bring people by himself, Zhang Yifei really wants Uncle Lu and the people in the car repair shop to come over and let them get in touch with formula racing and maintenance in advance. Not to mention that in the future, I can become a technical director or a race engineer, but at least I hope to become a technician or a chief technician.

And this is also considered to have experience in the maintenance of junior Formula 1, and if they can really get into F1 one day in the future, it will be much easier for them to enter the F1 team.

Zhang Yifei told Lu Ningping his thoughts, but to be honest, Lu Ningping didn't agree with Zhang Yifei's whimsical idea, and thought that there was little possibility of realizing it.

China's automotive industry is still too backward, and the emergence of an F1 driver is already history, and it is too difficult to build an F1 team.

But for now, this is just an irrelevant issue, it doesn't matter if you and Zhiguo, age is here, so it is not a bad thing for Ah Zhi and Ah Hu, two young people, to see the outside world and get in touch with a higher level of the automobile industry.

So he spoke: "Since you already have this plan, then Uncle Lu supports you, I will go to Guangshen to discuss it with your father, and deal with the matter of the car repair shop." ”

"Then it's troublesome Uncle Lu."

Zhang Yifei also understood that he was just an arrogant idea, and there were many problems to be solved in the follow-up, the most direct was how to deal with the car repair shop, and these things needed to be discussed slowly between Uncle Lu and the old man.

"If you are polite to me, you can train and prepare to go to Europe with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about other things."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yifei went to the restaurant to eat, the atmosphere in the restaurant today is obviously a little different, as soon as he came in, many youth drivers set their eyes on him.

There are doubts, worship, and looks, all kinds of eyes, and even some staff of the Toyota youth training base are subconsciously looking at a few more times.

Zhang Yifei's score of 1:25.11 today was really shocking, and it was too well hidden before, just like a bomb that suddenly fell from the sky, blowing up the audience and opening up the qualitative gap with other students.

Strength is one thing, Zhang Yifei's terrifying hidden strength method also spread with the end of the simulation event, which is what makes people feel even more frightening, how strong can it be to do this

In the face of all kinds of eyes, Zhang Yifei ate as usual, and even he did not relax his training requirements because the quota had been set. In the afternoon, the track practice and physical training were still the same as usual, and even the intensity was not reduced.

This scene was also seen by Junko Takeda, she looked at Zhang Yifei, who was still practicing the track, and said to Ukyo Yamamoto next to her with feelings: "Talent is one thing, hard work is another, Yifeijun is the hardest working youth driver I have ever seen, there is no one." ”

Yamamoto Ukyo also nodded in agreement and replied: "Maybe it's not just the academy drivers, even among the professional drivers, there are very few people who have this level of effort." ”

That's right, even the top professional drivers will give themselves time to relax after getting a place in a big competition. And Zhang Yifei did not change in the slightest, he didn't even have a basic celebration when he got the Renault Formula, and he still came to train in the afternoon.

Even Hank, the loser, left the training base to relax after the simulation event. In addition to Zhang Yifei on the entire track, there are only two hard-working youth trainees left in training.

"Youjing, I have an idea, Zhang Yifei went to Europe to run Formula Renault, and I want to apply with the team to be his assistant."

"Team Assistant"

Yamamoto Youkyo is a little confused, Zhang Yifei is participating in the Renault 2000 European Cup in his personal capacity, where did he come from as an assistant to the team

"Junko, you have to understand that although you are only a youth team manager now, with the formation of the F1 team in the future, you are very likely to become the manager of the F1 team, even if you end up failing because of your identity and qualifications, at least you can enter the team management."

"If you are now Zhang Yifei's assistant, even if the company retains your position, it is very likely that you will have to start from scratch when you come back. Unless Zhang Yifei is really a talented driver, enters F1 and signs with Toyota, the risk is too great, do you really think about it?"

"I don't know, I just feel like he's going to succeed and want to see it for myself."

Women always have a sensual side, even Junko Takeda in the workplace is no exception.

"There are too many successful people, and not everyone can witness it. If you really want to go, I can suggest to the management that you be temporarily transferred to Toyota Motorsport Europe, so that you can learn to run events and go to Europe for further study. ”

"It's the best of both worlds, what about you, Youkyo-kun."

"I'll go too."

Yamamoto Youjing said lightly, in fact, he was also curious about where Zhang Yifei's limit was.

Of course, more importantly, he is for Junko Takeda next to him.
