"Good run."

Facing Alonso's gaze, Zhang Yifei opened his mouth to congratulate him.

It's just that when this sentence heard Alonso's ears, it had a taste of showing off, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Simulator training laps, do you retain your strength?"

Alonso asked directly what was on his mind, even if it was not the right time and place.

However, this is also Alonso's character, in the public voice channel during the game, he complained about the team's engine supplier, which is simply trivial for a paddock BB like him.

It's not so annoying, otherwise according to Alonso's strength and results, how could he be mixed up to the point where no team dares to ask for it?

"No, it's just that I'm a race driver and I can play better when I have an opponent."

Zhang Yifei replied lightly, Alonso's question and tone made him feel a little offended.

After this kid was beaten by himself last time, he was honest for a while, and now he is starting to relapse again, right?

Obviously, Zhang Yifei's answer could not satisfy Alonso. He believes that Zhang Yifei has retained his strength in simulator training, deliberately paralyzing himself, and avoiding prematurely challenging his position as the No. 1 driver.

At the same time, he also sniffed out the underlying meaning, that is, Zhang Yifei did not treat himself as an opponent, so he couldn't force his full strength!

Prost also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and saw him say with a straight face: "Alonso, what are you talking about, go back to the lounge!" ”

In the face of Prost's reprimand, Alonso at this time did not have the achievements and status of later generations, so naturally he did not have the temper of later generations. Resisting the dissatisfaction in his heart, he obeyed the orders of the team boss and turned and walked towards the pit.

However, at this time, Zhang Yifei suddenly took a step forward and blocked in front of Alonso.

Seeing Zhang Yifei's move, the crew members were a little surprised and nervous, Fei has always been good-tempered in the team, should he plan to teach the newcomer a lesson because of Alonso's two words?

You must know that the conflict between Alessi and Heindfield led to the collapse of the team, and the members of the old team still remember it vividly, and they don't want this kind of intra-team conflict to be staged again.

In the face of Zhang Yifei's blocking, Alonso suddenly felt a little nervous, you must know that last year, even in the face of the instructions of the crew management, Alonso did not instigate, he did not know why he was nervous about this Chinese driver who was younger than himself.

Zhang Yifei looked directly at Alonso, and there was no scene of anger and action, but he said lightly: "Don't you believe that I am a competitive player?" Then I'm going to be stronger, believe it or not? ”

A simple rhetorical question, the momentum and strength brought by it, were more shocking to Alonso than Zhang Yifei's direct action.

Because this sentence means that the results of the qualifying round are not Zhang Yifei's limit. He will play more amazingly in the race, can it be said that the strength of Chinese drivers is really terrifying?

Alonso wanted to say something, but the difference in strength made him unconfident in saying anything at the moment. Although Alonso has a resentful personality, he will never mess around on the premise that his skills are not as good as others.

Seeing that Alonso didn't speak, Zhang Yifei didn't choose to end there, but continued: "I remember telling you before, either show your strength to win me, or choose to shut up." So today's words, I don't want to hear them a second time on the track, understand? ”

When Zhang Yifei said this sentence in front of the crew members, Alonso's face turned red, which was definitely the biggest humiliation he suffered in his career.

Not to mention Alonso, even the Prost team members looked at Zhang Yifei with shock in their hearts, they never thought that Zhang Yifei still had such a powerful side.

This is a little more than the average strong No. 1 driver, and can even be described as domination or conquest.

Even some crew members are ready to fight, after all, Alonso's cancer is also famous, and the team management dares to disobey the orders, what kind of team No. 1 driver cares?

Alonso glared at Zhang Yifei with a flushed face, and the two looked at each other for more than ten seconds, no one expected that there would be such a scene in the celebration scene after the qualifying match.

In the same thing that happened next, which many crew members did not expect, Alonso not only did not move, but also did not even argue verbally, he finally looked away and walked towards the team lounge.

It's just that when I walked into the pit, Alonso said: "I will definitely win you!" ”

"I'll wait."

Zhang Yifei didn't look back, since he chose to suppress Alonso to the end, this attitude is necessary.

Although the "conflict" did not happen, the crew members except for Cowsel were all looking at each other a little at the moment. They are worried that this is not the end, but the beginning, and if there is an intra-team conflict between the drivers, it will not be good news for the Prost team, which is on the rise.

However, Zhang Yifei doesn't care about this, because he knows Alonso's personality and ability to resist pressure.

This guy on and off the track can be described as two people, no matter what kind of confrontation he has with him now, it will not affect the performance of the game.

More importantly, Zhang Yifei used the question to play not only to suppress Alonso, but also to stimulate him.

The seventh place in qualifying, by the standards of Alonso's last season, is naturally very good, and it is also a breakthrough. But Zhang Yifei's eyes are never looking forward, but backward.

In the future, Alonso's strength to compete with Senna and Schumacher will be measured, and a seventh result in qualifying is simply rubbish! With such a low standing, there is no way to help himself share the pressure of Scuderia Ferrari in the race, or even join forces to attack.

Zhang Yifei didn't have time for Alonso to grow slowly, he needed stronger teammates, and in this season, he will challenge the top Ferrari.

Alonso definitely has that potential, it's just how to make the most of it.

Zhang Yifei didn't have time to induce slowly, for him, the simplest and most brutal way to stimulate was this kind of provocation and "humiliation". Let Alonso be in a state of struggle at any time, constantly squeezing out his potential, in order to finally fight with himself!

In a sense, Zhang Yifei used this way to make himself the biggest enemy of Alonso's career, so let this final battle become the "civil war" of the Prost team!

After qualifying, it was close to 11 o'clock in the evening, and the rest of the team returned to the hotel to recharge for tomorrow's opener, except for the necessary technicians to maintain the track.

Only the victory of the main race is the real victory, so there is no room for error!

Zhang Yifei, sitting on the bus, looked at the night view of Singapore outside the window. Indeed, in this era, Singapore, as one of the four Asian tigers, is one of the most prosperous in Asia, which is also the main source of their superiority.

But soon Zhang Yifei felt that something was wrong, the night breeze tonight was very cool, and it was obviously much stronger than before the practice match.

"Ukyo, do you have any weather data for tomorrow's race?"

Zhang Yifei asked Yamamoto Youjing, and he felt that this kind of evening breeze was not normal.

Hearing Zhang Yifei's question, Yamamoto Youkyo immediately found out the meteorological record, and then said: "According to the data provided by the Singapore Meteorological Department and the track command center, it will be cloudy all day tomorrow. ”

Is it cloudy?

When Zhang Yifei heard this word, he thought about the competition in the past few days, and Singapore seemed to be cloudy. However, this is also a common weather during the winter season, so it is not too unexpected.

"Are you worried about the rain?"

Cosell, who was next to him, heard Zhang Yifei's question and opened his mouth to speak.

"Well, I feel like it's going to rain."

"I have a record of rain battles, besides, are you afraid of rain?"

Zhang Yifei was a little speechless about Korcel's light and breezy appearance, and when other teams heard that it was going to rain, they were all kinds of strict preparations, because the variables of the rain battle were too great.

Put it on his own race engineer, the result is not serious, is his Malaysian rain battle performance is too amazing, the German old man really thinks he is the second Senna in the rain?

Although he thought so in his heart, it was impossible for Zhang Yifei to admit Cosell's attitude, so he replied strongly: "Of course I'm not afraid, I'm just asking casually." ”

However, at this time, Yamamoto Ukyo said with a serious expression: "Mentor, if it rains in Singapore tomorrow, then the difficulty of the track will increase exponentially, not only in terms of results, but also on the safety of drivers!" ”

Yamamoto Ukyo did not agree with Koser's opinion this time, but made his attitude clear.

Because Singapore is a renovated street and is hosting a Grand Prix for the first time, no one knows how well this track will drain water.

In general, the design of a professional F1 track must consider the problem of drainage, and there is detailed data on the maximum drainage of each section. If some low-concave sections are really poorly drained, they will also be highlighted on the track data.

However, there are zero numbers at the Singapore circuit, and it is entirely up to the drivers to improvise during the race. And theoretically, the drainage capacity of the street is not as good as that of the professional track, which means that the water accumulation will be more serious.

These factors are placed on the general track, which is more to increase the suspense of the race, but on the street race, the safety risk will also be greatly expanded.

Don't forget that there aren't many buffer zones for street races, and some sections of the road are even directly covered by concrete walls. If the wheels do not drain well and slip, and crash into the concrete wall at high speed, there is no room to dodge.

For the safety of the drivers, Ukyo Yamamoto felt that it was necessary to improve the registration for tomorrow's race!
