496 Convoy Dilemma (Chapter 1)

He Ziling's sudden action, coupled with the words in his ear, Zhang Yifei was really frightened!

Because He Ziling is compared with Sophia, they are two extremes, one belongs to the gentleness of the East, and the other belongs to the enthusiasm of the West. It can be said that since Zhang Yifei met He Ziling, what he has seen is basically the side of her small jasper, just like the unattainable goddess fan described by the Internet in later generations.

So in Zhang Yifei's cognition, these actions do not belong to He Ziling's ability to do, today is a transformation?

"This ...... That ......"

Zhang Yifei stammered and wanted to say something different, but he didn't know how to describe it.

But just when Zhang Yifei was extremely embarrassed, He Ziling let go of her arm, and said with a touch of shyness on her face: "Have a good journey, remember to take care of your injuries!" ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Yifei nodded.

But just as He Ziling was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly shook Zhang Yifei's hand and stuffed a small thing into his palm.

"What is this?"

Zhang Yifei said as he subconsciously raised his hand to take a look, and found that it was a small red cloth bag.

"Peace charm, I asked for it, I don't want to see you next time, it's still the same as today."

Zhang Yifei's hardships these days, He Ziling is in his eyes, and she herself has an older brother who is a professional driver, and she has a very clear understanding of the dangers of motorsports.

So she went to help Zhang Yifei ask for a peace charm, which may not have any effect, but at least she can ask for peace of mind.

"Thanks, I'll take it."

Zhang Yifei smiled at the corner of his mouth, and held the little red cloth bag tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Have a nice trip."

With a wave of his hand, He Ziling retreated to He Lang's side.

"Goodbye."

Zhang Yifei also waved his hand to the three of them in a chic manner, turned around and walked into the boarding gate with Junko Takeda.

……

San Marino's Imola circuit, Prost's face is not very good-looking, recently the Prost team can be said to have experienced a change from heaven to hell, and the good situation is cold in an instant.

At the Brazilian Grand Prix, Prost was still imagining that if Zhang Yifei won the championship, then Prost would jump directly from the bottom of the previous team to the current F1 mid-stream team.

This is not only a rise in the rankings, but also a skyrocketing influence. At the end of the year, F1 copyright advertising dividends, sponsor amounts, and even more big sponsors will contact the team, which will change the current financial crisis.

As a result, the damn Montoya crashed and ruined everything!

And that's not the point, after the race, those reporters who were afraid of chaos in the world directly provoked the conflict between the team and the engine supplier, leading to the termination of the cooperation with the Peugeot Group.

The team's finances were already tight, and now they have to spend at least tens of millions of dollars in additional budget on the purchase of new race engines. This is not the last straw that breaks the camel's back, tens of millions of dollars is simply the top of Mount Tai for the Prost team!

Peugeot terminates partnership, selects new engine, sells stake in the fleet......

Recently, this has been overwhelmed by one thing after another, which makes Prost a little breathless. Running a team is much harder than just being a driver!

The problem is not only the team, but also the driver, after Zhang Yifei was out of action from injury, substitute driver Berdez took over as the current second driver of the team, and Alessi rose to the first driver.

At the Catalan circuit in Spain, Alessi played very well, and the veteran is still a veteran after all, playing a mainstay role in the team's difficult times, bucking the trend and running into the top six, scoring another point for the Prost team.

But Boerdais's performance is very bad, he is also a newcomer, and he is completely incomparable to Zhang Yifei.

After only ten laps of the race, he rushed out of the track and retired, and Prost could still understand at the time, after all, many newcomers are like this. However, in the San Marino practice and qualifying races, Bourdais is still at the bottom of the stage, and with this kind of speed and results, it is visually measured that he will be gloved by the champion car for more than two laps on the track!

That's why Prost's face is so ugly, according to this trend, the veteran Alessi is also difficult to support, and the team results that have improved are estimated to be at the end of the stream.

The problem is that the last result will not be able to sell the team's shares, and the shortfall of Prost Racing will be at least $70 million or more when next year's budget is calculated. Without a huge injection of funds, the team may not survive this winter.

Taking a deep breath, Prost walked from the team lounge to the pits in the front row, not wanting his emotions to affect the crew. After all, anyone can not be confident, but as a boss, you must show enough confidence.

And then again, the strength of Baldice is the normal performance of the substitute drivers of the last team. It's just that Zhang Yifei's rookie record was too outstanding before, so Prost subconsciously always compared Bourdais with Zhang Yifei.

Sometimes people are better than people, and there is really no comparison.

In the P room of the team, everyone is nervously overhauling the car and preparing for the main race in the afternoon.

Cosell was standing next to Boordais, holding a tactical board and explaining to him the team's strategy and what to look out for on the track.

At the moment, Korcel's mentality is not very good, he is suppressing his temper and talking to Bourdais about tactics and lines. You must know that the old German man himself is radical and irritable, and the tactical strategy is simple and rude, and the rest is up to the driver to understand.

Because according to Cosell's guidelines, the top driver does not need others to teach him how to drive, only needs to provide him with track information, and the rest is up to the driver to decide, no one will be better than him!

But Berdeis is completely different, to put it simply, I don't understand, many parts of the line are a mess, and I can't correct it on my own. What's more, the extreme orders given by Cosell many times, Baldes couldn't do it at all, and he didn't have the courage to play with his life.

This makes Korsell feel very unhappy, as a professional F1 driver, if you are afraid of death on the track, then what kind of Formula 1 do you drive?

You must know that the drivers who can leave their names on the F1 track in history have all relied on their lives to win their lives, and this kind of poor and weak driver has really not been touched by Kossel before.

Indeed, Kossel can also be described as "the peak of his debut", the identity of the doctor of aerodynamics allowed him to directly enter the strategy group of the McLaren team, and with Senna's death, he returned to teach at the university in Germany, and never served in the last team.

McLaren's Big Three, of course, even if they are newcomers, are all the best. And Prost, the bottom team that is always on the verge of collapse, has no chance to pick and choose, otherwise he would not have signed Zhang Yifei in Formula Junior Championship.

Baldice's strength is in line with the positioning of the Prost team, if he is strong, he still needs to be a third driver in the bottom team?

Prost came to Core's side and interrupted his conversation with Berdeis.

"Fei should be coming soon, right?"

The news that Zhang Yifei was coming back was naturally informed to the team early, Prost never thought that a driver would be so important, and now he really misses this Chinese kid a little.

Korsell glanced at the time on his watch, nodded and replied, "It should be almost there." ”

Both of them heard the helplessness and expectation from each other's tone, and indeed the current Zhang Yifei is the hope of the Prost team!

Almost as Cosell's words fell, a Peugeot sedan drove through the safety car tunnel and into the pit lane. Although the Prost team has terminated the contract with the Peugeot Group, the work car is basically still under the Peugeot brand.

In fact, this is also related to Prost's previous stubborn thinking, the whole team can use French brands, so try to use French ones, and really don't think about other countries.

There is no doubt that at this time, there is only one possibility for a Peugeot car to drive into the track, and that is Zhang Yifei is back.

At this time, not only the smiles on the faces of Korsell and Prost, but even the crew members who were overhauled in the race rushed out of the P room, ready to welcome Zhang Yifei's arrival.

Maybe many crew members themselves don't realize that Zhang Yifei has become the backbone and absolute main force of the team.

"Brother Fei, you're finally back, I want to kill you!"

Ah Hu roared, then spread his arms and pounced towards Zhang Yifei.

When he was at the airport before, Zhang Yifei almost couldn't resist the hug of a "weak woman" like He Ziling, and now Ah Hu is ironing every day, and his body is as strong as a bear.

Originally, it was just a bone crack now, Zhang Yifei was really worried that he would break his bones when he hit him!

So he hurriedly raised his crutches and put them directly on Ah Hu's chest, stopping his next move.

"What is your kid's body shape now, don't you have a B number in your heart?"

Originally, Ah Hu's face was still full of surprise because of Zhang Yifei's movements, but after hearing this, he immediately disturbed his head embarrassedly.

"Brother Fei, I'm so excited, I forgot that you still have a leg injury."

After speaking, Ah Hu stopped the idea of a bear hug, and instead bumped fists with Zhang Yifei.

Not only Ah Hu, but also the other members of the crew also warmly welcomed Zhang Yifei.

"Welcome home."

Finally, the boss Prost came over, and at the moment he had a smile on his face, and he was indeed happy in his heart.

Similarly, Zhang Yifei also greeted Prost with a smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart, this legendary driver who is known for his calculations, if he knew that his drivers would have already hit his team with the abacus, his expression would definitely be more exciting......
