Chapter 242: A Difficult Start (5)

Ming, Ye Feng, who is familiar with the core technology of racing, and other team members are worried. While other competitive teams took advantage of the first two races to further refine their new cars for the new season, the FW-26 that Ye Feng and Massa were driving was a bit out of place. So, when the five red lights at the Bahrain Circuit went out one after another, Williams' defeat was already a foregone conclusion.

The original ability to earn points was lost in an instant, replaced by a poor start and a disrespectful ability to hold on to each other. And not only did the "Ye A" battle that everyone expected to see not appear, but Ye Feng and Massa, the two teammates, even failed to get even a single point. If it is understandable that Ye Feng lost the technical factor in the 32nd lap because he was eager to catch up with Kurthard, who was ranked sixth at the time, then the performance of Massa and his car, who had not shown the level everyone expected to see in the previous two races, can only be described as miserable!

Even after finishing the race, the Brazilian's best efforts could not make it to the top eight even once. Although there was an element of heavy fuel start, it is also an indisputable fact that the FW-26 fell behind its competitors by a large margin in the race. It's no wonder that Massa, who did his best, slapped his steering wheel vigorously after the race to vent his frustration. It turned out that many of Williams' problems, which had been covered up by the good results of the first two races, were finally laid bare at the Bahrain Grand Prix. Hopes for the revival of the old team are also beginning to waver.

However, if the race in Bahrain is still considered by many to be a mistake by the newcomers of the Williams team. The next Spanish Grand Prix, however, was no longer a pretext for the Williams team's two drivers, and the huge disadvantage of trailing their rivals on the FW track had to lead people to believe that the development of a new car was immediate.

After the game. Ye Feng, who only finished 12th, walked out of the locker room towards the outside of the stadium with some disappointment, he knew that Massa, who was a little emotionally out of control just now, had even vented his dissatisfaction with the team and his disappointment with the car to some media. But as a grasshopper screwed on a rope with old Williams, as a member of the current de facto management of the team, no matter how depressed Ye Feng was in his heart, he couldn't say bad things about the team to anyone.

This is Ye Feng's principle. Maybe others don't know the situation inside the Williams team, but he Ye Feng knows. He knows that every technician in the team is now using 120% enthusiasm to withstand the tremendous pressure of working without wind tunnel experiments. He knew that now old Williams had completely put down the face of the so-called British gentleman and came here to solicit sponsorships and loans. He knows that the nerves of all the people in the team have collapsed to the extreme, and what everyone needs now is people's understanding and the all-round support of funds and technology that is urgently needed......

At such a moment. Not only could he, Ye Feng, not be able to speak anything similar to Massa, on the contrary, Ye Feng had always asked himself to maintain his firm confidence in the future of the team at all times for anyone in the outside world! For a team, its drivers are a window to show their abilities and conditions to the outside world, and since Ye Feng has decided to stay knowing everything, he has to shoulder the responsibility of reserving his heart for the team at this time......

Therefore, no matter what the media is, Ye Feng said that he believes that the team will soon be able to reverse the current unfavorable situation, because they have the infinite glory and championship temperament and heritage of the past few decades. At such a moment of internal and external troubles, Ye Feng still chose to stand with the Williams team......

......

"Leaf! Do you have time? If you're not in a bad mood. I guess we can talk, right? ”

At this time, the scene has changed from #However, the poor record of the Williams team that has not been changed. At the beginning of the race, the brave performance of using the old car to fight the new car and still standing on the podium seemed to disappear without a trace overnight, and after the delay in solving the wind tunnel problem, Ye Feng and Williams Racing Team also slipped into a low point in these three consecutive races. Although Ye Feng barely got a seventh position with his own performance and the retirement of his previous opponent in this race, he was unable to contribute to the points due to the delay of Brazilian driver Massa. So in the constructors' standings, Williams has slipped from second at the beginning of the season to an embarrassing fifth position. At this time, what spoke to Ye Feng, who was a little lost, was Mario, who Ye Feng had never seen since that meeting. Tyson, the new director of BMW's sports division, is looking at Lao Ye with a complex and well-groomed look, and the connotation is intriguing......

"Oh! Mr. Tyson? My mood. It should be okay, so let's talk about it! As soon as Ye Feng saw that it was Tyson and his expression, he probably guessed the other party's intentions. He firmly signed Williams for two years is a clear rejection of Tyson's naked poaching. This is also equivalent to giving the other party an ugly look, so when he and Williams did not play well, Ye Feng knew that the other party must want to see his good looks. However, at this time, although Ye Feng was irritated by the bad result of the game, he still couldn't help but stop. Said to each other with a smile on his face.

"Leaf! Actually, I didn't think you would be any different from other young drivers until we first met. But since I've met you, I'll admit I've underestimated you a little too much! It's no wonder that while people focus so much on you as a young and quick F, they tend to forget that you're also the owner of a CCC team, a WRC and a cross-country rally team. In fleet management and management, you have also achieved achievements that will amaze your peers and even your seniors. Seeing Ye Feng stop, Tyson stepped forward with a smile, stood side by side with Ye Feng and continued:

"Still. Leaf! Despite all the aura that you have over your head that you don't want to underestimate, please allow me to keep my mind on your willingness to stay with the Williams team. In my opinion. It's a complete waste of your talent and talent, we're all team operations and management, and I think you should have a clear idea of whether the current Williams team is doing it for you to win what you want to win. And you should be more clear

In the future, what does it mean for this team to lose the team from BMW and his allies, Williams Racing and you! "It's not high, though. But at this point Tyson's words were so sharp and naked. From this person's keen eyes looking directly at Ye Feng, you can clearly see his strong desire to control and possessiveness, as well as his strong ambition....

"Hehe, Mr. Tyson, so BMW is going to announce that it is going on its own soon?" Ye Feng, who had already been mentally prepared, naturally didn't pay too much attention to the other party's expected words, but picked the key point in his words and pointed it out with a smile. However, it is absolutely impossible to say that Ye Feng's psychology has no fluctuations at all at this time, and now the team is in the most difficult period of internal and external difficulties, but BMW has to choose to give up its allies at this time. This is undoubtedly another very heavy blow to the Williams team! And as soon as this explosive news comes out at this time, I'm afraid that the few loans that Williams is now negotiating will be in vain! It seems that there is very little time left for him to settle key issues such as wind tunnel maintenance funding and future main sponsors......

I didn't see the other party's expected contemplation, nor did I see the loneliness after the opponent's game loss. After listening to Ye Feng's understatement. Surprised and surprised, Tyson suddenly didn't know what to say. He just looked at Ye Feng blankly, this young man who was always able to cut to his weakness and the key point of the problem every time. In his psyche, the word unfathomable also emerged more and more.

“...... Leaf! Now I have to admit that you are the sharpest person I have ever met. I admit it the same. Given the poor record of the Williams team at this stage, we at BMW did decide to form our own team for next season's Formula 1. However, these are not the most important places. The key thing is to be a young rider that I admire. I think it's my duty to remind you of what reality looks like at this time!

Ye, you Chinese have an old saying called 'a good bird chooses a tree to perch'. I know that the reason why you chose to renew Williams' contract for two years is because of the dissatisfaction with me and BMW. But please believe that BMW and I have always attached great importance to and optimistic about you! So, in the current situation of the Williams team, which is very unfavorable both inside and outside, you should prepare for your future early! That contract with the Williams team is not a problem at all as long as you want to. And I believe. You'll be in a much better position at BMW than you're at the Williams team now! Trust me, Williams isn't worth your investment right now! ”

After a long period of silence, Tyson finally went straight to the point and said his intention to find Ye Feng. From his words, it can be seen that Tyson still wants Ye Feng to join the future BMW team, and he also believes that after such a long time of that grievance, after Ye Feng realizes the severity of the situation and the cruelty of reality, this Chinese driver will definitely understand the current affairs.

"Huh! Mr. Tyson. I guess we'll leave that question out of the question! I can tell you responsibly that I will not leave Williams to join BMW at this time, not now, and certainly not in the future! After patiently listening to so many words from the other party, Ye Feng still smiled calmly and said to the other party. From his face, Tyson couldn't tell what Lao Ye was thinking.

"Leaf! You and I are both team members! I don't think you're so ignorant, are you? If it's money, you can rest assured that it's not a problem! Everything is negotiable, and Ye, you still have 3 fleets to feed, and as far as I know, you don't have much of a source of income except for the team salary. In this case...... "Tyson thought that the other party was bargaining with him, so Tyson did not hesitate to sacrifice the countermeasures that he had already thought of in his heart. But before he could finish speaking, Ye Feng interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Mr. Tyson! I think you're really mistaken! For you, everything may just be business, and everything is just about whether everyone can talk about it or not. But for me, racing is racing! There are not so many conditions to negotiate! I'm sorry! Excuse me! ...... Oh! I wish you a bright future for your new BMW fleet! ”

Interrupted Mario. After Tyson's words, Ye Feng said this solemnly to the other party, and then turned around and left in a dashing manner. Suddenly remembering something, he turned around again and said the last sentence, and then walked away without looking back......

......

From the return of the cool. But he also understood that the other party's words were not at all to scare him or exaggerate. The situation ahead of him and the Williams team was indeed more dire. Wind tunnel restoration now looks hopeless at all, and at such a critical juncture, the most important engine provider and almost all major sponsors have been lost. The fate of the Williams team is even more difficult than that of the smaller teams. On this night, Ye Feng put himself in the shoes of old Williams and calculated several accounts, in the current situation, Ye Feng felt that the British old man had no hope of reversing all this and could only sit back and watch the decline of the team. At this time, Ye Feng, who was less than 21 years old, finally showed his fragile side, and it was no wonder that it was indeed a bit heavy for him to face such a grim situation with such a hairy boy.

"Boy! It's not that bad! As long as we're still in this team, as long as you can continue to improve your competitive standards, Williams Racing is not at the end of its rope! Just when Ye Feng was at the most helpless, Senna's voice sounded at the right time.

"Actually, there's really nothing to worry about! BMW is gone, Cowsworth and Ford, those major sponsors are gone, and emerging giants from your hometown are like Lenovo and Sinopec! Now that things have come to this point, I think it's time for you to have a showdown with Serena Williams! As long as we can minimise the impact of the BMW withdrawal, if we can get the future things done as soon as possible and fix the wind tunnel, we can still make a difference this season! Come on! Boy, is there a time when it's tougher than when we started our business? With me with you, there's nothing to be afraid of! It's a big deal! ”
