195 carries hope

The post-match interview on pole position ended quickly, as Zhang Yifei's remarks aroused the emotions of the audience, and even triggered a scolding battle between supporters and opponents.

In order to avoid the occurrence of excessive situations, the Renault event staff came forward and ended the pole position interview ahead of schedule.

Zhang Yifei doesn't care about these things, because everything he wants to say has already been expressed, and no matter how much he says, it's some irrelevant nonsense.

Back at the pits, the Renault car had completed its post-race inspection, and the Toyota technician team and Ah Hu were preparing to overhaul the car.

Compared to the previous post-race inspection, this time the amount of work was much larger, because the entire brake disc had to be replaced, not just the brake pads.

Formula cars burn money, in addition to the tires, brake pads and brake discs are also fast consumables.

Basically, every 200 kilometers of running, you need to change four brake pads, about 500 kilometers, and even the brake discs have to be replaced.

Of course, this is according to F1 standards, Renault cars because of the weaker power effect, the life of these consumable parts will be appropriately extended.

But no matter how long it is extended, the life will not exceed two stops, but Zhang Yifei has high-intensity test running losses in addition to the main race, so in order to be foolproof for tomorrow's race, the two stops have not yet ended, so he will start replacing the brake kit in advance.

In fact, these can only be considered small parts, and even the engine has to be replaced after the Hockenheim race. Fortunately, the cost of the race is sponsored by Toyota, otherwise Zhang Yifei's more than one million family funds would have been spent after running the next stop.

Looking at the busy appearance of the maintenance station, Zhang Yifei suddenly found that there was one person missing, so he asked Yamamoto Youkyo "What about Koser?" ”

"When the mentor was interviewing you after the game, he answered a phone call, and then said that he had something to leave first, and he guess he would come over tomorrow for the game."

"Damn, I'm also a temporary race engineer, this is a little too paddling, right, have you left the field early?"

Zhang Yifei complained, originally he wanted to discuss tomorrow's game strategy with his "race engineer", but the old German man left directly.

In the face of Zhang Yifei's complaints, Yamamoto Youjing just smiled, he knew his mentor's character, and being able to leave early represented trust in Zhang Yifei's ability.

Of course, Zhang Yifei just said casually, since Caser has left, there is no need for him to continue to stay, and post-race testing is not the driver's job.

So after Zhang Yifei said hello, he drove He Ziling back to the hotel first, and as for Yamamoto Youjing, they stayed in room P to continue to overhaul the car.

In the passenger seat, He Ziling looked at Zhang Yifei's side face several times, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Yifei's afterglow saw He Ziling's movements, so he spoke first: "Do you have anything to say, we are also old classmates, so there is no need to be so restrained." ”

"Where is the restraint, I just think the way you drive is very unfamiliar, and it doesn't overlap with the image in my memory."

"People always change."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, thinking that it was strange if he was not a stranger, he was no longer the little transparent he used to be in school.

"Then you're fine after you change."

He Ziling whispered, after this period of contact, she saw Zhang Yifei's persistence and hard work that boys of the same age did not have.

Not to mention all kinds of high-intensity study and exercise every day, just every time I get off the car and take off the helmet and head covering, the tired appearance of dripping sweat makes people feel inexplicably distressed.

But Zhang Yifei has never said a tired word, no matter how heavy the pressure, he can optimistically resist the past. It was in his eyes that He Ziling's impression of Zhang Yifei changed greatly.

"Where has it gotten better?"

"It's just that you're working hard, and the scene where you gave a post-game interview today and cheered for you was quite shocking, and the other is ......"

Talking and talking, He Ziling felt a little embarrassed, did she say too much?

But soon, He Ziling's shy mind was destroyed by Zhang Yifei, and Zhang Yifei's smug laughter was heard in his ears.

"Haha, is there a kind of admiration and worship for me, but I want to emphasize, don't be obsessed with brother!"

"Who's crushed on you!"

"You."

"Thick-skinned!"

Zhang Yifei was joking with He Ziling while driving, and it was rare to relax his tense spirit.

To be honest, although he didn't show it during this time, the high-intensity study and exercise still put a lot of pressure on him.

Especially the bet with Korcel and the media is like a big stone pressing on Zhang Yifei's heart.

No matter how easy it is, for example, if you lose, you will break the jar, go back to your hometown in China and inherit the old man's car repair shop, you can live a chic life with a car, a house and a shop.

But in fact, Zhang Yifei is not qualified to lose, he carries the hopes of too many people, he goes back to Guangshen, what about Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto, who have given up their career prospects?

What about Ah Hu and Brother Zhi, who were called to Europe by themselves, who were also desperately trying to learn English, thinking that they could enter the world's top event technician team?

With his own career entry, what should I do if I can meet a Chinese driver and stand at the top of the world?

and along the way, Xie Tiancheng, He Lang, and He Ziling, who have helped him, actually want to see the success of a Chinese, or Asian driver.

Not to mention the old man, who is ready to support his own racing car with all his belongings, if he rolls back to Guangshen in a gray way, where will he have the face to face these and pin his hopes on his relatives and friends?

Getting pole position today, more importantly, breaking the track record, proving that his efforts during this period of time were not in vain and he had the strength to win the championship.

These can finally make Zhang Yifei breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, at least he didn't disappoint these people who support him, so he can easily joke with He Ziling.

"Okay, seriously, thank you for your help during this time."

During He Ziling's time, if there was no competition, she basically accompanied Ah Hu and Brother Zhi for eight hours to practice speaking.

Until now, Zhang Yifei has not said a word of thanks, after all, others have no obligation to help themselves, and this friendship is really not something that can be summed up by two simple thanks.

"It's just a lip service, isn't there a little bit of thanks?"

"You're much richer than I am, what else do you need? Well, as long as I can win tomorrow, I'll take you for a good walk. ”

"Aren't you afraid of the last time you encountered it on the street?"

"Just kidding, can I plant two more holes in a pit?"

"Well, that's what you said."

"Don't worry, you won't break your word."

chatting all the way back to the hotel, Zhang Yifei first went to the room to take a shower, every time he got off the car in this hot summer, it was similar to steaming a sauna, and he was wet and greasy.

After taking a shower, he put on a pair of shorts, Zhang Yifei sat in the simulated cockpit and began to exercise his neck muscles.

With the gradual improvement of physical fitness and the adaptation to Renault's racing car, the pressure on Zhang Yifei's body is getting less and less in the race, and there is no longer the fatigue that can be called prostration after the first qualifying race.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei only has the energy to exercise now, and you must know that his physical requirements for himself are not only the current primary formula, but also the higher-level F3, F3000, and even the highest Formula 1.

The miracle of Finnish driver Kimi Raikkonen is not only wanted to be replicated by European drivers, but even Zhang Yifei also wants to climb to the sky.

Of course, compared with those European drivers who have a rich kart record, Zhang Yifei's racing experience is obviously much worse, and it is naturally more difficult to reach the sky in one step.

You must know that the big bosses and sponsors of the top teams are not as "hungry" as the Toyota youth team to sign an official driver.

If you don't have a solid enough resume and strength, you won't be able to get into their eyes at all. As far as Zhang Yifei's results are concerned, they are not convincing enough, and they don't look down on a single pole position driver.

This is not to say that they despise Chinese drivers, but that motorsport is different from traditional sports, it is a thoroughly commercial event, and profit is one of the most important values.

Drivers can fight for championships and honors, but team owners will always be driven by profit.

If you don't have enough strength to run out of results, it means that you can't attract popularity, and a team that is at the bottom of the rankings, how many viewers will pay attention to such a loser?

To put it mildly, the runner-up on the podium will always be in the light of the championship, and the 10th-placed driver may not even be eligible to be remembered by name, which is the cruel law of competition.

So what Zhang Yifei has to do now is to seize all opportunities and time to make himself stronger, just like those famous genius F1 drivers, who began to sweep from the junior races.

Only in this way can he get the attention of a higher level!

The time came to seven o'clock in the evening, because there was still a competition tomorrow, Zhang Yifei did not play any extreme training, but a time for his body to rest.

So he headed to the hotel restaurant and prepared to grab a bite to eat. On the way downstairs, he also knocked on the door of Ah Hu's room, but there was no response, I don't know if he was still at Hockenheimring and did not come back, or if he had already gone to the restaurant.

Just when Zhang Yifei came to the door of the restaurant, the mobile phone in his pocket rang. To be honest, the role of the mobile phone for Zhang Yifei during this period of time is basically a tool to see the time, and he forgot that someone else will call.

took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Zhang Yifei was even more surprised that it was Korcel calling.

You must know that although Zhang Yifei saved Coser's number, this old German man is a resolute person, and he will do it in person whenever he wants, and he never drags his feet.

Seeing him calling, Zhang Yifei was really surprised, could it be that he left early today, and Corell felt "uneasy conscience"?

Pressing the connect button, Cosell's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Fei, come to the small conference room that the hotel frequents, there are two people who want to see you." ”

"Who?"

"You'll find out when you come here."

After saying that, Korsell hung up the phone directly.
