In the pit waiting area, Alonso was looking at Helio next to him with an unhappy face, this Indian bun, with a Sima face from beginning to end, dragged like 2580,000, as if other trial drivers were rookies in his eyes.

This attitude made Alonso very unhappy, and if Helio didn't talk less at the same time, the head brother couldn't find a chance to talk. It is estimated that he will turn on his BB machine mode a long time ago, and he will not complain a few words of discomfort in his heart.

In fact, it's no wonder that the head brother is so angry, because Helio just wrote his contempt for Alonso on his face. You must know that this Indian champion, even Schumacher didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, a "fried cold rice" Minardi rookie, why can I make Helio look up to it?

In contrast, Massa is much quieter and more peaceful, just like his kind personality, and does not show confidence and pride like the average F1 driver, exuding a kind of aggression.

Indeed, just like Prost's opinion, if Zhang Yifei didn't want to climb to the sky in one step, challenge the status of the Big Three teams, compete with Schumacher for the drivers' championship, and accumulate for a few years, Massa's character would become a good teammate and wingman.

Or even become the next top leafy driver, like Ferrari's Barrichello.

But time waits for no one, and if you want to climb mountains like Senna and Schumacher, you must become famous at a young age. Just like Hamilton, the closest driver to surpass God in later generations, from the very beginning of F1, he showed the potential and achievements of super talent.

The three of them sat in the Renault car and started at intervals, and the management in the club box stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, ready to take a closer look at the performance of several drivers.

After all, this is the highlight of the day, and all three have a chance to become the official drivers of the F1 team.

"Kossel, who do you think will be the fastest rookie in the tryout?"

Henry asked Cosell beside him, after all, he was a race engineer, the most professional and the person who knew the drivers best.

"Helio."

Without the slightest hesitation, Cowsell said Helio's name, which was also in line with his usual personality, never playing Tai Chi, and his answer was simple and direct.

"Why?"

"His hard power is the strongest, don't underestimate the Indy champion just because he loses a game."

As a race engineer, you can't be like a driver, winning or losing a game and then having a change in mentality. Don't judge heroes by success or failure, the basic cultivation of a game engineer depends on the overall data and strength.

From the rumors that Helio was going to join the F1 team, Korcel, along with Ukyo Yamamoto, began to sort out and collect Helio's race data. The best object of comparison is naturally Montoya.

At the age of only 19, Helio also won the championship season of the year, and Indy's track results exceeded 80%, which is stronger than Montoya, and even surpassed Villeneuve by 70%!

You must know that Willeneuve has been regarded as the super king of IndyCar, and Montoya won the annual championship in his rookie season, making himself a superstar driver in Colombia.

The track statistics of these two men, who were completely defeated in front of Helio, and it is not for nothing that he is called the strongest newcomer in the history of IndyCar.

In fact, if it weren't for Helio's insistence on going his own way, underestimating Zhang Yifei, and not wanting to let Ritchie and Blake interfere, he might have overtaken the car a long time ago.

When he reacted that the situation was not right, he faced Schumacher, the strongest driver in F1, and naturally he could only meet the end of failure.

What's more, although this kid is so crazy that almost no one pays attention to him, even the senior driver of the IndyCar championship. But he didn't say anything about the driver's professional code, and his dedication was terrible, and he was said to have trained secretly with the Williams team.

However, this rumor has not been verified by Kossel, but the diligence and hard work of Helio in the Indo-local program before is obvious to all.

"No wonder you asked Fei earlier if Helio would choose to be his teammate if he was the strongest. It turns out that in your heart, you have long believed that Helio will be the best rookie driver today. ”

Henry suddenly replied, no wonder Cosell suddenly interjected, and it was not for no reason.

For this, Korsell did not deny this, and even in his heart, there was once the idea of recruiting Helio for the Prost team.

As the old saying goes, children distinguish between right and wrong, and adults only value profits. The conflict between the drivers is nothing, as long as they can win the championship, they can still be teammates who can fight side by side.

How many of the champion team combinations in history are genuinely fighting side by side? Most of them are like strangers after leaving, and there are even many who turn against each other. Since you want to choose the strongest No. 2 driver, let's choose the strongest Helio!

Anyway, Zhang Yifei, this kid is not good at stubble, as long as he can have the confidence to suppress this king of India, Cosell doesn't care.

It's just that in the end, Zhang Yifei has a good idea of his ability and limit, and he didn't think about this kind of whimsical operation. As a race engineer, Kossel naturally wants to serve the drivers, and of course it is impossible to take the initiative to bring this "bomb" into the team.

But Korsell always had a hunch in his heart that if the Prost team dared to recruit Helio, this Indian kid would really dare to join!

The three drivers on the track began to soar, Zhang Yifei, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at this scene, and really had a different feeling in his heart. After all, in the past, it was himself on the track, and others became spectators, but today it is completely reversed.

It can be seen from the line that none of the three have retained their strength today, especially Alonso, who has taken some very extreme and dangerous lines. After all, he is not this year's rookie, but last year's "back to the pot", and losing to a rookie is a difficult thing for Alonso's stubborn self-esteem to accept.

And Alonso not only wants to win against rookie opponents, but also wants to prove his strength to Zhang Yifei, he is not a weak person who can be despised and will not be the kind of wingman who loses his fighting spirit.

With Alonso's crazy drive, Massa and Helio gradually began to rise. For Massa, he will have to beat Alonso to secure the No. 2 drivers' seat for Prost.

This is not to say that he values and cherishes the No. 2 driver's seat, but that he wants to learn and catch up with Zhang Yifei, and only the Prost team can provide him with this atmosphere.

To be honest, Massa treats Zhang Yifei with a mentality of being both friend and foe. On the one hand, he recognized the strength of the other party, and even did not hesitate to learn from Zhang Yifei, and on the other hand, he regarded defeating Zhang Yifei as one of his career goals.

After all, he was the biggest favorite in Formula Renault at the beginning, but now he has become a follower, and Massa also wants to let the spotlight on the F1 stage shine on him again.

After feeling Alonso's speed, the expression on Helio's face took on a kind of frenzy. Before at the Williams proving ground, he was like a madman, driving a formula car and a racing simulator almost day and night, which was more crazy than Zhang Yifei in the United States Grand Prix.

In fact, Helio's progress during this period of time can also be described as amazing. The last time I tested the speed at Williams, just by a very narrow margin, trailing Montoya. However, it greatly exceeded the test data of the original Montoya rookie stage at the Williams team.

Considering that Helio is a true newcomer, the potential for the future is unthinkable. Sir Williamson offered a test driver's seat at that time, but Helio refused without hesitation, he couldn't even look down on the No. 2 driver position, would he want a test driver's seat?

Truth be told, Sir Williams had a moment when he wanted to make a ruthless attempt to vacate an official driver's seat for Helio and gamble on the best newcomer in Indy's history.

It's like transferring Jenson Button out of the team in exchange for Montoya as a full-fledged driver.

But Helio's unruly and unruly character eventually made Sir Williams regress. After all, even a bottom-of-the-line team like Minardi can't stand Alonso's disobedience to the team's orders, and a boss like Sir Williams, who is known for his "cold-bloodedness", will tolerate a disobedient driver?

That's why Sir Williams chose to give up, and Helio will appear on the Jerez circuit today.

After only the third lap, Alonso was the first to break the fastest lap of 1:19.217 set by Takuma Sato. But in the first lap, this record was broken, and Helio directly broke the limit of 1 minute and 19 seconds and entered the realm of 1 minute and 18 seconds, and the fastest lap was 1 minute 18 seconds 973!

"It's a bit fast."

Bernard, chairman of the Renault team, opened his mouth to compliment.

You must know that the current track record is only 1:18.135, and this newcomer from Indy who crossed over has run into the field of 1 minute and 18 seconds, which is definitely the strength and level of the top newcomer.

And also to take into account the difference in car performance, after all, this year's Renault team, in a hasty acquisition of Benetton to enter F1, did not rely on the strength of the Renault-Nissan alliance to develop a more powerful new car.

So basically, it still relies on the foundation of Benetton's racing car, and the performance is not very strong, which shows the strength of Helio.

But the next scene surprised the team management present, F3000 newcomer Massa actually overtook Helio in the fourth lap, with a lap time of 1:18.968, a slight advantage became the fastest lap on the track.

No matter how weak the lead is, at least it is the fastest lap time, and Helio is also the foundation of the Indy annual champion, Massa is only the F3000 champion, and the grade is one level worse.

In this way, it can be overtaken, which is what makes people feel amazing.

"Are all this year's rookies going against the sky? Is there going to be the next rider to fly again? ”

Toyota Chairman Tomita said in disbelief that he was proud of the lap time of Japanese driver Takuma Sato, and thought that Japanese drivers were about to rise. As a result, now that this year's newcomers are all monsters!
