197 Amazing Foundation

Cosell's latter sentence undoubtedly shows his attitude, whether Zhang Yifei chooses Xiaofu Ji'an to enter the F3000 team as a test driver, or intends to use the results of the next few stops to copy the miracle of Kimi Raikkonen and directly enter the sight of the F1 team.

If the latter is chosen, then Zhang Yifei must sweep in the next few stops, so that the F1 team can see the potential of talented drivers, otherwise there should be no second F1 team like Sauber to buy lottery tickets.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Adenauer, but I don't plan to be a test driver, I want to hit the stage higher."

Zhang Yifei himself is also a simple and rough style, he did not choose to go around the bush, and directly expressed his attitude to Adenauer.

Adenauer didn't have any surprise at Zhang Yifei's reply, because when Caser said that sentence, it was basically doomed.

Because he understands Koser's adventurous character, since Kosell is willing to go out of the mountain and become the race engineer of this Chinese kid, then there must be something in this Chinese newcomer that attracts him.

Among other things, an adventurous and aggressive style is a must, otherwise Korcel would not have been a cowardly race engineer.

"I respect your choice, and your choice is very much in line with Kossel's adventurous spirit."

"It's just that the No. 1 and No. 2 drivers of our team are also very good young people, and there is no way to offer you a higher position, and I hope we will have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future."

If you want to become an official driver in one step, you either have a top lack, or you are terrible and strong, and you have seized the position of an official driver.

The current two drivers of the Adenauer team are considered to be good, at least Zhang Yifei does not have an obvious crushing advantage, so even Adenauer thinks Zhang Yifei is very good and wants to sign him, but there is no vacancy for him to become an official driver.

"I understand that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will consider working with Mr. Adenauer."

Zhang Yifei also said politely, after all, buying and selling is not benevolent.

Speaking of this, it basically means the end, so both sides stood up, and Zhang Yifei planned to be polite and send Adenauer to the door.

Seeing Zhang Yifei's move, Korsell waved his hand directly at him and said, "You don't have to send it, prepare for tomorrow's game, and don't forget the bet between us." ”

"Don't worry, I won't forget, you're doomed."

After this period of contact, Zhang Yifei is also familiar with Cosell's character, and he does not have the cowardice when he asked for someone before, and he directly goes to Kordell.

"Boy, I hope to see you again tomorrow with such confidence."

Cosell replied unceremoniously, not at all worried about hitting Zhang Yifei's self-confidence.

After that, he walked out of the conference hall with Adenauer, and several people walked towards the entrance of the hotel.

As he distanced himself from Zhang Yifei, Adenauer couldn't help but say: "Coser, your request for flying should not be that you want him to directly become an F1 driver and copy Kimi's miracle?"

"Why, can't you?"

Korcel made no secret of his requirements for Zhang Yifei, if he didn't have the level and ambition to enter F1, he would not have gone out to coach at all.

An ordinary formula driver, there is no doubt that he has been pulled down.

"However, as a Chinese newcomer, do you really think he can jump from elementary formula to F1"

"To be honest, if it weren't for seeing you as a race engineer flying today, I wouldn't have come over today to invite. You should know that a pole-sitter is too ordinary to qualify as an F3000 test driver. ”

Unlike the whimsy in Zhang Yifei's heart before, he couldn't look down on the F3000, in fact, the F3000 team also looked down on him at this stage.

You must know that he is currently only a runner-up in a sub-station and a pole position, and if you don't win two championships in junior formula this year, you are embarrassed to go out and say hello.

As for the Renault 2000 European Cup that Zhang Yifei is currently participating in, there should be no less than ten of them who have the title of junior formula champion. A top seed like Massa has at least five starts in hand.

It's good to win the Formula Chevrolet Championship in Massa Brazil and the Formula Renault championship in Italy, and they all won it in a sweeping manner. In both Formula 2 races, he has won more than five races.

Adenauer watched Zhang Yifei's qualifying performance today and agreed with his strength. But it's not enough to have a team founder come and talk about these things in person.

The real reason why he came here in person today was not because of Zhang Yifei, but because he believed in Cosell's vision. So he is willing to take the position of a test driver to test Zhang Yifei's potential.

It's just that he didn't say these things directly in front of Zhang Yifei, after all, it was too hurtful.

"Why can't we think that Flying can go from Formula I to Formula 1?"

"Just because he is a Chinese newcomer, is racing a sport that is not about strength, but about race and nationality?"

There was a hint of anger in Kossel's tone, and he couldn't understand the idea of despising people because of their race or nationality.

No matter what country you come from, as long as you can show your strength, it is worth looking forward to.

Caser never considered Zhang Yifei's identity and nationality, and the reason why he was willing to be Zhang Yifei's race engineer. At first, it was because of Yamamoto Ukyo's relationship that he trusted his student's vision.

Later, he was purely moved by Zhang Yifei's persistence and hard work, he has seen many students and youth drivers, and there are very few who can learn and train for more than ten hours a day.

And like Zhang Yifei, who is so conscious and persevering every day, he has never seen one in the years he has been in the professional team!

God will always favor those young people who work hard, and Korsell also appreciates this spirit in Zhang Yifei, so he can't accept it, these don't look at the hard work of the drivers, only look at the contempt of their background!

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Adenauer hastened to explain, knowing that Germany had experienced the Jewish incident in World War II, which was a very sensitive topic, and Adenauer really did not mean to despise it.

"Cosell, I just think that the foundation of flying is not very stable, which may lead to his ceiling bottleneck, not that he is Chinese, and his driving skills must be poor."

"No, it's completely different from what you think, the foundation of flying is very solid, and even completely beyond my expectations."

Korsell replied very meaningfully at this time, if he felt that the biggest thing was wrong with Zhang Yifei, it was that this kid's foundation was too solid.

Judging from the driver's resume, Zhang Yifei has only been in contact with karting training for less than a year. I didn't have any professional racing experience before, just an ordinary high school student in China.

But during this period of Cosell's guidance, he found that Zhang Yifei's foundation was extremely solid, not to mention the aspects of control and driving, basically as long as he conveyed the instructions, Zhang Yifei would soon be able to achieve the goal, and there was no novice appearance at all.

What's more important is to take the track data to Zhang Yifei by himself, as long as this guy memorizes it, he can drive it on the track the next day.

Theory is one thing, but the track is another, and drivers who don't have a solid foundation need to cross the line countless times to master these skills.

But Zhang Yifei is different, the first time he goes on the track, he can run seven or eight points of theoretical effect, as if he has rich track experience, but he has not had good enough guidance data before, so he can't play it.

The problem comes out, Zhang Yifei only has less than a year of formula foundation, and his age is also here, it is impossible to have any professional racing experience before, how did he achieve this proficiency and foundation

Genius drivers think about it, Korsell can only accept this explanation, after all, China's population of more than one billion, it is not surprising that there are one or two super geniuses.

"yes, then I'm looking forward to seeing Fei's performance."

Adenauer said a word in agreement, but he didn't believe it much in his heart, and it was also difficult for him to understand why Kosell was so optimistic about such a Chinese kid and began to exaggerate, which was really not in line with Kossel's style.

Just as Adenauer was about to get in the car and leave, he suddenly thought of something, turned to Kossel and said: "Kossel, if you really want to fly into the F1 team, the possibility is almost zero at the moment, you know that." ”

Korsell didn't answer when he heard it, he did know that Zhang Yifei wanted to enter the F1 team, and the possibility was infinitely close to zero. Kimi is really occupied by the right time, place and people, and Zhang Yifei's conditions are much worse than Kimi in all aspects.

I want to believe that I think that Chinese newcomers will create miracles, but in the whole of Europe, there may not be many people who have the same idea.

"But now there's a chance, it's up to you to try."

"What a chance"

"Prost, if they fly in Renault and run absolutely impressively, they may choose to gamble, but it's just a ...... between you and the professor"

The Prost team is an F1 team formed after the retirement of McLaren driver "Professor" Prost.

Because Prost is French and has the support of the French logo car manufacturer, in 1997 he acquired the then old French team Likia, and named it after himself, and changed the name to Prost team.

At the time of the acquisition, Prost Racing had a good record, scoring 21 points and finishing sixth in the team standings.

That's a good start for a new team that has just entered F1 to finish sixth.

But then Prost stubbornly wanted to build a purely French team, abandoning the cheap and beautiful Honda engine and using the French logo engine, as a result, the team's performance collapsed, and only 1 point was scored in a year, close to the bottom.

This year is an avalanche year for Prost Racing, with the F1 Grand Prix now halfway through, with both drivers retiring at more than 60 per cent and zero points, creating the worst result for the team.

Sleepiness leads to change, and the Prost team is almost at the end, worse than the Sauber team that was at the bottom a few years ago.

Just as Sauber Racing made a desperate bet on newcomer Kimi, it is estimated that Prost Racing is now more desperate, and this is a great opportunity for newcomers to enter the F1 team.
