170 Post-Match Celebration (Large Chapter)
When He Lang heard Zhang Yifei's tone, he knew that this kid was definitely not affected.
To be honest, what He Lang admires most about Zhang Yifei is that in addition to his driving skills, he has a strong psychological quality, and he can't see that this is just a seventeen-year-old boy, who should be calm and stable.
I don't know, I thought that this guy had been on the track for more than ten years, and he had reached the point of being pampered and not shocked.
But then again, after a while, Zhang Yifei can really be said to have been on the track for more than ten years......
Then He Lang asked a few more questions about He Ziling's situation and told Zhang Yifei to take care of his sister.
Of course, Zhang Yifei is unambiguous about this, and he doesn't need He Lang to say that he will do it.
Hung up the phone, Zhang Yifei went directly to the gym, although the game has ended, but the exercise of physical fitness can not be interrupted, this is just the beginning, and soon the second leg of the event will come.
In the evening, Yamamoto Ukyo and his gang also returned from the Monza circuit, where the race had undergone a full post-race inspection and would soon be transported to the second leg by box truck.
"Brother Fei, although he only won a runner-up, it was also the first time he was on the podium, which is a good start, why don't we go out and celebrate?"
After coming back, Ah Hu couldn't help but put forward the idea of celebrating with Zhang Yifei, this kid is only sixteen now, if he hadn't been an auto repair apprentice, that is, the age of high school.
After all, this was also his first time abroad, but after coming to Milan, he didn't even have the opportunity to leave the hotel gate except for taking the car back and forth between the hotel and the Monza circuit every day.
At this age, playfulness and curiosity are relatively heavy, and Ah Hu was able to restrain himself in the previous competition, but now that the sub-station race has been completed, Ah Hu finally can't help but want to go out and have a look.
Zhang Yifei also knows Ah Hu's idea, who is not from his teens, not to mention his current age, which is only seventeen years old.
"It's okay to go out and celebrate, but I'm curious about how your English tutoring is these days, don't wait until you go out and don't know how to get back."
As soon as he heard that he was speaking English, Ah Hu's originally happy expression instantly turned into a sad face, he didn't graduate from junior high school in China, so he came to the car repair shop as an apprentice.
Moreover, English education in primary schools was not widespread in this era, and most students only started to get in touch with English from junior high school, so Ah Hu also knew the level of ABCD.
After He Ziling arrived, he had to receive three or four hours of English training every day, and he had to memorize words, grammar, etc. when he got up in the morning, which was a kind of torture for Ah Hu.
But he also understands that Zhang Yifei is doing this for his own good, and the atmosphere of professional events in the past few days has made Ah Hu understand how big the gap between himself and these top maintenance technicians is.
Whether it is professionalism, process standardization, or even efficiency and speed, he is lagging behind a lot, and even Brother Zhi can only barely keep up.
And he also saw that all foreign maintenance teams communicate in English, even if Toyota's technical team is basically Japanese.
No way, whoever calls the world's top technical directors and competition engineers are all in Europe. Moreover, the major of racing engineering is offered in the university, which is basically the top university in Europe and the United States, and the English atmosphere has been fixed.
If you don't have the strength to change it, then you can only adapt yourself to it.
In the end, Ah Hu could only mutter: "Italy doesn't speak English either." ”
Zhang Yifei naturally heard this muttering, so he knocked on Ah Hu's head: "You kid is getting more and more slippery!" ”
"Brother Fei, our hometown says that knocking on the head will knock people stupidly, and they are not smart in the first place, and they will not be able to learn it in the future!"
Ah Hu said this sentence with dissatisfaction, and everyone laughed when they heard it, Zhang Yifei wanted to give him another time, but he could only stop stupidly.
"Okay, let's go celebrate in the evening, but Junko Manager, the Monza race is over, and it's not good to trouble the Toyota European Racing Organization, I think I still have to rent two cars, otherwise it's too inconvenient."
As early as when he first came to Milan, Zhang Yifei felt that it was inconvenient to have no car, but because of time and his lack of a driver's license, he didn't go to rent a car.
Now that the race at Monza has ended, the personnel of the Toyota European event organization have been temporarily evacuated, and Zhang Yifei is embarrassed to let Toyota send another car to pick him up.
After all, he is only a Toyota youth driver now, and the event is only sponsored, so he doesn't have such a big face.
"No problem, I'll go rent a car with Junko."
Yamamoto Ukyo naturally knows the inconvenience of Zhang Yifei, he and Junko Takeda both have international driver's licenses, and renting a car is much simpler.
So the group first came to the car rental shop and rented a Nissan Junjue MPV and a Fiat-owned Palio.
Both are very ordinary civilian cars, especially the Fiat Palio, which also uses the English translation name of Palio in China, and has been issued by the joint venture manufacturer Nanjing Fiat.
It's just that the brand of Fiat is really not suitable for the domestic market, or European brands except for the German system, few of them meet the taste of the Chinese, and they are always tepid and on the verge of being delisted at any time.
In fact, when Zhang Yifei chose MPV, the priority was the Toyota granvia that he had sat in before, after all, he was a youth driver under Toyota, although he did not sign an exclusive agreement for the car brand, but Toyota was kind to himself, and it was not good to rent a model of the rival brand.
It's just that in front of Nissan Junjue, Toyota MPV is really a younger brother, sales and market share are hanged, and car rental shops don't have Toyota granvia at all.
There is no choice, Zhang Yifei can only rent Nissan Junjue, I have to say that it is not without reason that the sales are good, the appearance and interior are a grade stronger than Toyota, no wonder it is necessary to wait until Alpha comes out, Toyota can fight a turnaround.
After renting a car, the group did not choose a bar as the place to celebrate, because there are mostly minors here, and there is no habit of going to a bar.
Thinking about it, we still had a meal together to celebrate in the traditional Chinese way, so we found a Chinese restaurant in Milan.
This Chinese restaurant, named "Lin Yuan", is located near the Royal Palace of Milan, and is one of the oldest Chinese restaurants in Italy, opened by a Chinese couple who came to Europe in their early years.
Entering the Chinese restaurant, the decoration style is also an antique Chinese courtyard style, Zhang Yifei directly asked the front desk waiter for a private room, and then ordered more than a dozen more classic dishes, and everyone celebrated happily.
To be honest, Zhang Yifei is still more accustomed to this atmosphere, and the set of celebrations in foreign bars is really not in line with the traditional concept of Chinese.
However, during the meal, Zhang Yifei found that Yamamoto Youkyo looked preoccupied, which surprised him.
I have known Yamamoto for a few months, and I have to contact him almost every day, so Zhang Yifei is also familiar with Yamamoto's character, he is a typical science and engineering man's thinking, plus the old-fashioned staff personality of the Japanese, basically everything is regular and clear, and he rarely shows his emotions.
Therefore, Yamamoto Youjing's strange demeanor still made Zhang Yifei notice that he felt very wrong.
After eating, the group prepared to walk around the streets of Milan, especially the two girls, He Ziling and Junko Takeda, who had long wanted to go shopping.
You must know that Milan is known as the fashion capital, and Milan can basically be seen at all kinds of big-name clothing conferences and runway shows. It has also given birth to luxury brands such as Prada and Versace, which are far more attractive to girls than they imagined.
Ah Hu and Brother Zhi were also curious to look around, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Yifei walked to Yamamoto Youjing's side and asked, "Youjing-kun, you seem to have something on your mind?" ”
"Huh? No! ”
Yamamoto Ukyo explained in a panic, and the effect was even more fake than no explanation.
"Come on, you're not the kind of person who can hide it, just say something"
Zhang Yifei is too lazy to play a game with Yamamoto Ukyo that you guess or not, this guy has a simple head and is more suitable for going straight.
Hearing Zhang Yifei say this, Yamamoto Youkyo also understood that he was not suitable for cover-up, so he simply said: "Yifei-kun, I don't think I am suitable to be a competition engineer. ”
"What's the matter, I think you're fine."
Zhang Yifei felt very strange, Yamamoto Youkyo performed very well at this stop, especially for the tuning suggestions for the suspension of the racing car, to avoid rushing to the shoulder of the road and causing suspension damage, which can be said to be completely qualified.
"No, I just did the responsibility of data analysis and advice, and I didn't do the game strategy, and I basically relied on you to play on the field."
Hearing this, Zhang Yifei couldn't help but laugh dumbly, thinking that it was a big deal, but it turned out that he felt incompetent because of this.
"Youjing thinks too much, Formula 1 is not F1, you need to change tires and refuel, etc., Renault is done, what strategy can you make?"
"It's not like that, Formula Junior should also have tactical adjustments, and at your current level, a top race engineer, and being an assistant coach, I can't do that."
In fact, during Zhang Yifei's competition, Yamamoto Youjing had already considered this problem, that is, his strength lies in data analysis, rather than formulating a comprehensive layout.
Or to put it more simply, Yamamoto Ukyo feels that his personality is not suitable for being a competition engineer, because he is not the kind of person who is good at communication and communication, and even if Zhang Yifei does not take the initiative to ask during the competition, he will say very little.
This is obviously not the state that a race engineer should have, and it can be said that he is not qualified.
Now the order is only Renault Formula Primary, just like Yifei said, there is no strategy such as changing tires, refueling, etc., and the competition time is short, so his shortcomings are not obvious.
Even if there is no communication, Zhang Yifei has no problem running alone on the track.
But if you want to go one step further and make a splash in the entire Renault 2000 Euro 2000 and get into the eyes of the F1 teams, then you need to perform even more amazingly.
At this time, if there is a top competition engineer, it will greatly improve Zhang Yifei's performance.
"Ukyo, I understand what you said, but it's too early to say this, and when you enter the F1 team, there will naturally be professional race engineers."
"And take a step back, now that I am a newcomer to China, apart from you and Junzi who are willing to accompany me to compete in the junior formula, which race engineer is willing to be a newcomer to me?"
