After greeting each other, Zhang Yifei came to the team lounge, after all, today is the time of the race, and the race will start in the afternoon soon, so he still doesn't want to affect the normal operation of the team.

In the lounge, Alessi and Boerdais were sitting in it at the moment, and they didn't know the news of Zhang Yifei's return, so they were surprised when they saw Zhang Yifei suddenly push the door open and come in.

However, a smile soon appeared on the corner of Alessi's mouth, as the old saying before, if the team wants two official drivers to live in harmony, they must not be evenly matched, and when there is no competition, the smell of gunpowder will be much lighter.

Zhang Yifei used his strength to convince the French veteran Alessi, and he no longer had the original idea of wanting to suppress the newcomer. And he has reached almost retirement age, and it doesn't make much sense to worry about the gains and losses of fame and fortune with a newcomer.

It is better to help the newcomers in this final stage, improve the team's performance, and also leave a good name for yourself, which is a win-win situation.

After all, Alessi's last reputation in history was not very good, his own professional performance was very average, and at the end of the year, there was a scandal with the Heidfield lounge, and he was infamous for suppressing newcomers.

The other driver, Berdais, was slightly embarrassed on his face.

His current identity is Zhang Yifei's substitute, which is a good time to come out, you must know that many third drivers are still running F3000 events, and they have no chance to show their faces in F1 at all.

If you can seize this opportunity, not to mention replacing Zhang Yifei, at least in the transfer period next season, there is a great possibility of becoming an official driver.

However, Baldais did not play well in the last race, and the practice and qualifying sessions at the Imola circuit were still at the bottom stage. Especially after comparing Zhang Yifei's results, it even made Berdis feel inferior.

So now that he sees Zhang Yifei, he doesn't know what kind of identity to get along with.

Seeing the embarrassment on Boerdais's face, Zhang Yifei took the initiative to greet him very enthusiastically, resolving the embarrassment of meeting. Because he had also been a substitute in his previous life, he knew what it was like to be a "water cooler keeper" only off the field.

He won't look down on Baldis or anything because of his strength, as long as the other party doesn't provoke himself like the previous test driver Emile, Zhang Yifei has always been a good person to get along with.

After sitting down in the lounge, Zhang Yifei also watched the video of the previous qualifying match with Alessi.

Zhang Yifei is not familiar with the layout and alignment of the Imola track, because he has never run. And now he doesn't need to race, and he doesn't have time to do the pre-race preparation to get acquainted with the track.

However, this is limited to the layout and alignment of the track, and Zhang Yifei is very familiar with the history of the Imola circuit. The reason is that the famous F1 car god Senna was killed in a car crash on the Imola circuit.

The F1 accident that shocked the world in 94 made the Imola circuit world-famous, but it also brought a lot of sadness.

In the video, Alessi's performance is as steady as ever, there are no big highlights, and there are no fatal slots. That's the way it is for drivers at the end of their careers, who can hold their floor, but rarely run the ceiling that is a shocking reversal.

As you get older, you end up running slower and slower, and when one day you are completely uncompetitive, it is time to retire.

If it weren't for Zhang Yifei's sudden appearance, Alessi wouldn't even be able to play steadily now, and the gangsters would be waiting to retire.

As for Baldais's line, it can be described as a mess, and it is obvious that he is rusty and afraid, as if ordinary people suddenly enter a completely unfamiliar environment.

However, it is understandable that ordinary people are unfamiliar and fearful in the face of unfamiliar environments, while F1 drivers are not qualified to be understood.

Because this is the profession of an F1 driver, it is the ability to eat, and in any competitive sport, the dish ratio is not worthy of forgiveness.

After watching for about an hour, and the time was approaching two o'clock in the afternoon, Henry pushed open the door to the lounge and reminded the two drivers to get ready to play.

At the same time, Prost also walked in and said to Zhang Yifei: "Fei, are you going to sit here and rest, or go outside to watch the battle?" ”

"Let's go outside and watch the fight."

Zhang Yifei didn't choose to sit in the lounge, because seriously, he didn't seem to be watching a professional F1 event as a pure spectator. So he wanted to experience what it's like to watch the game as a spectator.

“OK。”

Prost nodded, and was ready to turn around and head to the pits.

”BOSS。”

Zhang Yifei suddenly shouted, the biggest purpose of his anxious return this time was to acquire the shares of the Prost team.

However, there were others present before, Zhang Yifei didn't find a chance to talk to Prost, and now it's hard to talk to Prost, so he plans to talk to Prost.

"Is there something wrong?"

Prost naturally didn't expect Zhang Yifei to have the ambition to buy the team's shares, and he thought that Zhang Yifei had something else.

Faced with Prost's rhetorical question, Zhang Yifei's words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

It's race time soon, and the team's focus is on the race, and it seems a little out of place to say that I want to buy the team's shares at this time.

"It's nothing, I'll tell you after the race."

“OK。”

Prost didn't think much about it, he was more anxious to control the preparation for the pit race, after all, this race, including Alessi, was at the bottom of the qualifying results, and it was already conceivable that there would be zero points in the account.

But when you think about it, not everyone is willing to accept the reality, especially the bosses who are in desperate need of results to increase the value of their teams.

Zhang Yifei followed closely behind Prost to the pits, where all the debugging work had been completed and the driver was ready to sit in the car and ignite. The team strategy team basically stands in front of a circular screen with various sensor data from the two cars, and the race engineers communicate the team's instructions in real time based on the changes in this data.

Zhang Yifei didn't come over to disturb, but walked out of room P and looked at the Imola track through the fence.

The Tambrero bend in the distance is where the Senna crashed, but now that the bend has been straightened, there will be no more dangerous accidents, but it has also made the track lose its original charm.

Facing danger is also a part of F1, and it's still a wonderful and important part!

At the same time, at the moment, the stands of the track have also become a sea of red, and the Imola circuit nominally bears the name of San Marino, China, Italy. But in reality, this is to circumvent the FIA's restriction of not holding two races in the same country in a year, after all, Italy already has a Monza circuit.

Italy is the home of Ferrari, not to mention that the Scuderia Ferrari dynasty is beginning to appear, even if the future generations seem to be in decline, the "Red Army" is still the strongest fan group!

In addition to the home factor, there is another reason why it can be a sea of red today. That was the last Spanish Grand Prix, Schumacher's dream of eight consecutive victories was ended by McLaren's Coulthard, and Schumacher was in a bad mood after the race.

Schumacher's poor form resulted in only fourth place in qualifying, and the pole position was still taken by the previous champion Coulthard, and his form has clearly improved.

In order to cheer Schumacher on, there were a lot of Ferrari fans present today, making the stands completely red.

At the same time, at this time, something unexpected happened to Zhang Yifei, he walked out of the P room, just with a curious attitude, to watch the Imola track, after all, this is his first time.

What I didn't expect was that the track broadcast cameraman, who was filming the driver's preparation process at the pit stop, spotted Zhang Yifei's figure and pointed the camera directly at him from the participating drivers.

You must know that after Zhang Yifei retired from the Brazilian Grand Prix, the Prost team refused to be interviewed by various media in order to ensure Zhang Yifei's recuperation and personal safety in Brazil.

Later, Zhang Yifei went directly from Brazil to China, and it was even more impossible for these foreign media to interview him, which was equivalent to disappearing from the public eye for a period of time.

So when Zhang Yifei's figure appeared on the broadcast screen, there was a commotion directly on the scene, especially the media reporting the event, who rushed to the Pit Stop of Prost Racing Team, wanting to interview Zhang Yifei as soon as possible.

Watching a large number of reporters running towards him with "long guns and short guns", Zhang Yifei was a little confused, he had forgotten that he had "disappeared" for a while, and many media reporters were waiting for his views on the crash of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

It's just that at this time, if you want to go back, there is no point in it, and you still have to face media interviews after all.

In just a minute or two, Zhang Yifei was already surrounded by reporters, and even the track broadcast pointed the camera at him, as if this moment had become a press conference for him, an "audience".

"Fly, what do you think about the Brazilian Grand Prix crash and how is the injury now?"

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, Montoya knocked you off the track on the last lap, what do you want to say?"

"Schumacher spoke highly of your performance at the Brazilian Grand Prix after the race, do you think it was a success for Schumacher?"

"Driver Fei, the other day the Prost team announced a few big moves, will this affect your signing next year?"

All kinds of reporters asked questions, and the microphone was about to go into Zhang Yifei's mouth, and they were all waiting for Zhang Yifei to express his position.

Faced with such a crazy scene and continuous problems, Zhang Yifei didn't know where to start.

He could only wave his hand and replied: "Fellow journalists, the questions come one by one, first of all, I will talk about my injuries. ”

"My personal injury is not serious, it is just an ordinary bone crack, but it will take a period of time to recover, so I will not be able to participate in the tournament in the near future."

"As for what I want to say about Montoya, I would like to say that the team has filed a complaint with the FIA about the crash. For me personally, if Montoya can't tell the difference between American wild style and dangerous driving, I would suggest that he stop being an F1 driver for the safety of other drivers on the track. ”
