Hank's request, Junko Takeda did not agree at the time, but said that he would discuss it with the team management.

Because of the participation quota, which involves Toyota's sponsorship, the youth team is currently affiliated with Toyota's racing division, and has no authority to agree at will because of this little thing.

However, the punishment for Zhang Yifei's brawl came down quickly, because he is not a professional player, so there is no penalty of deducting points or banning, and it is impossible to prohibit Zhang Yifei from training.

So it was more of a monetary punishment, Zhang Yifei was fined 200,000 yen, as well as compensating Hank for his medical expenses and 200,000 yen in later compensation.

In 1999, the exchange rate of the yen against the renminbi was about 10,000 yen to more than 700 yuan, which means that Zhang Yifei fined 400,000 yen, which was almost 30,000 yuan.

This punishment can be said to make Zhang Yifei feel extremely painful, and he punched 30,000 yuan, which is really valuable!

But if Zhang Yifei is asked to choose again, he will make up for another punch in Hank's face!

After announcing the team's punishment decision, Junko Takeda looked at Zhang Yifei, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have 400,000 yen, if there are no words, I can borrow you temporarily." ”

The story has been investigated clearly, and Junko Takeda understands Zhang Yifei emotionally, but intellectually, she still has to maintain the rules and regulations of the youth training base.

400,000 yen is not a small amount, judging from the data, Zhang Yifei came into contact with go-karts very late, and there is a high probability that it will not be a wealthy family.

After this period of contact, Junko Takeda still admires this hard-training Chinese boy, so she plans to help him.

"No, I'm fine."

30,000 yuan is not a small amount, but it has not reached the point where Zhang Yifei can't take it out, and he is not used to borrowing money from women.

"By the way, what are you going to do with what Hank said he wants a place in?"

Compared with the fine, this is what Zhang Yifei cares about, and he is determined to win the quota of Formula Renault!

"Refuse, although Formula Renault will not compete directly in the name of Toyota Racing, we will provide sponsorship, which is related to the future development reputation of Toyota Racing Team, and we must select the strongest players to participate."

Junko Takeda said very directly, Formula Renault is a manufacturer's race for Renault in France, and other car companies will not send their own factory teams, otherwise this is not an admission that they are inferior to Renault?

So in general, in this case, the race is in the name of the driver, and then the manufacturer sponsors. For example, Schumacher received sponsorship and training from Mercedes-Benz, but the start of the primary formula was Formula Ford.

"However, Hank is the most famous of the Toyota academy drivers, and his father is an investor in the Arrow team, and the Toyota Racing Division is currently approaching the Arrow team, and may compensate him in other ways to eliminate the impact."

Arrows was one of the F1 teams in the eighties and nineties, but due to poor results and lack of funds in the later period, it finally declared bankruptcy in 2003.

Junko Takeda didn't say it explicitly, but Zhang Yifei heard the meaning of her words, that is, now the Flying Arrow team has shown a decline, and it is very difficult to support it, so Toyota plans to take over this plate.

It is also very common for F1 teams to take over, especially for Toyota, a new factory team that wants to enter the F1 circle, the fastest and most convenient way is to buy an F1 team that is about to go out of business, which can save a lot of time and detours.

No wonder Hank, the grandson, paddled so much, and he was able to win the runner-up in the Australian Karting Championship, probably because of his father's relationship, the time he was exposed to karting and the training effect were better than the average peer, allowing him to win at the starting line.

I have to say that formula racing is really a game of fighting daddy.

"Don't think about compensating him, I know what Hank wants, it's nothing more than a place in Formula Renault. He's only playing against me at the moment, and if I give him three seconds in a simulated event, he'll definitely say yes. ”

"Let three seconds?"

Junko Takeda wondered if she had misheard, Zhang Yifei's current fastest lap on the track was 1 minute 29 seconds, while Hank's fastest lap was in the early 1 minute 30 seconds.

In other words, the gap between the two people is only a little more than a second, if Zhang Yifei lets three seconds, even if Hank does not have any improvement, he must run at least 1 minute and 27 seconds to have the certainty of victory.

The track record was set by Takuma Sato, who had previously predicted Zhang's training performance by team analyst Ukyo Yamamoto. After three months of training, Zhang Yifei improved his limit, that is, he ran to 1 minute and 27 seconds, maintaining a three-second gap with the track record.

There is only one month left in the simulation competition, and even if Zhang Yifei can exceed the prediction limit, it is estimated that he will run within 1 minute and 27 seconds, and this result is not absolutely sure to win Hank.

Because according to Hank's level, if he can be ashamed and brave in a month, it should be possible to improve by one second, that is, he can run to about 1 minute and 29 seconds.

If Zhang Yifei wants to win, he must run to a time of about 1 minute and 26 seconds, which is only 2 seconds away from the track record!

Can a go-kart newcomer really train for two months in formula racing and run a track record that is 2 seconds behind the Japanese F3 champion?

If this answer is placed in the world, it is not impossible, Senna, Schumacher needless to say, take Alonso as an example, it was also two years to jump from go-kart to F3, the first time to participate in F3 won 6 sub-station championships, set a new lap record, the top F1 drivers are always like a sweep.

But the question is, these are all European drivers who have shown genius since the karting era, why should Zhang Yifei compare with them? The Japanese F3 champion is not strong, but the record he set is not something that a Chinese kart driver can easily approach, which is tantamount to "suicide" in the eyes of Junko Takeda.

"That's right, it's just three seconds."

Zhang Yifei confirmed again that he had been on Qixing Mountain and told Li Tao to let him for thirty seconds.

Today at the Toyota Youth Training Center, he also said that let Hank for three seconds, if you compare Li Tao with Hank, it is naturally incomparable, and the difficulty of making Li Tao thirty seconds may not be as good as letting Hank for one second.

But in Zhang Yifei's eyes, Li Tao is actually the same as Hank, both are waste!

"You're giving up your place at Renault, and if you shine at Renault, you can get straight into the sights of the F1 team, and I hope you'll think about it."

"Don't think about it, this is something I've already decided, Junko Manager, you can convey it directly to Hank."

Zhang Yifei is still firm in his own ideas, people always have pressure to be motivated, and there is no pressure on anyone in the current youth training base to give himself the pressure to improve.

It seems dangerous to break the cauldron and sink the boat, but if you don't put yourself in the Jedi, how can you fight back?

Zhang Yifei's goal for himself is no longer limited to the level of Asian drivers, he is desperate to compete with the real talents in Europe.

If you want to beat a genius, you have to be stronger than a genius!

In addition, Junko Takeda is good to herself, not to mention taking care of herself. Just celebrating my birthday before, as well as borrowing money just now, all mean that I really help myself.

Zhang Yifei understands that if this matter involves the Flying Arrow team, then Junko Takeda will bear a lot of pressure to deal with it, and his fine of 200,000 yen is actually not a "severe punishment", there must be a reason why Junko Takeda argues with reason, he doesn't want to throw all the mess to others.

People respect me for a foot, and I am a foot for me, this has always been Zhang Yifei's code of conduct.
