In the unique rainy weather of the British Peninsula at the end of January, the day after attending the BMW annual meeting, Du Yefeng and Gu Lin, who had just been in Germany, took a special plane provided by BMW and a group of important people to the headquarters of the Williams team in Grove, a suburb of Reading, England. There, they first completed a tour of the Williams Racing Garage before taking a test drive on a private track.

Before walking into the factory area of the Williams team, the first thing everyone saw was the blue and black eye-catching team English logo. At the same time, people can't help but think of this team that once dominated the entire F1 car world for a period of time in the 80s and 90s of the last century! At the same time, people also resonate in their minds with Willenneuve, Frenzen, Coulthard and other famous drivers who used to gallop on the field! It also makes people sigh at the decline and helplessness of this former empire that has won the annual championship award since 97. Ye Feng could even smell a faint stale smell from the factory of the team that had just finished two seasons and still achieved the second place in the overall team finish, a smell that only an aging king would have, although no one had admitted it yet......

Standing at the door of the factory for a long time, letting the raindrops of ice pour on his face. Lao Ye, who has a lot of thoughts, can also feel the throbbing in Senna's heart when he has revisited his hometown.

It's been ten years!

Ten years ago, he lost the championship driver Mansell Frank who had successfully suppressed Senna. Sir Williams felt it was time to further strengthen his team line-up and began to think about bringing in a heavyweight.

Ten years ago. It has been two years in a row that it has failed to win the F1 Drivers' Championship. A stronger team and a slump in his career. So after signing a contract with an annual salary of $15 million, which was a sky-high price at the time, he was a member of =>.S. ten years ago. The veteran team is also ready to send their ace driver to the new championship, and the driver decided to win another world championship before entering the marriage hall with the woman of his love......

However, it all quickly disappeared after the collision of the Tambrell Turn at the Imola circuit that shocked the world on the 51st......

History always plays jokes with people in one way or another, and the world is sometimes big and sometimes small! No matter how smart Ren Senna and Lao Ye were, they would never have thought that their re-approach to F1 would start with Williams, the team that made Senna lose everything! There's a bit of dramatic irony to look at it. Where did it end? Senna and Ye Feng both shook their heads helplessly at the same time, the former was helplessly disappointed by fate, while the latter was completely affected by Boss Sai's emotions.

However, soon Ye Feng felt that Senna's negative emotions were gradually dissipating, and at the same time, an umbrella covering the ice and rain and a pair of warm hands made Lao Ye feel much better. Maybe Gu Lin didn't know why Ye Feng was so sentimental today, maybe she would never understand what kind of world existed in Ye Feng's eyes full of mystery. But the woman's sharp instinct told her anyway. Now Ye Feng needs her, so she came......

......

Visiting the Williams Racing team and R&D department can be tedious and boring. And only those who have never touched an F1 car [.|With a keen interest. Lao Ye's interest is naturally not here, this guy is now focused on searching for the new Williams 04 car that will appear in front of everyone today: FW26. In addition, Lao Ye is particularly concerned about today's weather, he is worried that if the rain continues to fall like this, he has only one reason to come here: test drive, I'm afraid it will be in the soup. Fortunately, a cold wind seemed to blow away some of the thick dark clouds, and although the rain was still pouring down, it was still much lighter than just now.

"Everyone. Now it's time to see the FW-26 car that our Williams Racing Team will be racing this season! Now......" The visiting team finally came to the two racing cars covered with blue curtains, and Lao Ye listened to the tour guide's tedious speech, and really wanted to kick this guy aside and open the curtain himself to see what the racing cars inside looked like. Gu Lin next to him also seemed to sense Lao Ye's impatience. She turned her head and smiled at him.

"Time flies! I remember that the first Williams racing model I drove was the FW-16, ++, and said with emotion in Lao Ye's mind. But there's one thing Senna doesn't say, and that's that the development of the car without the team's acclaimed designer Nevey Williams is really not what it used to be.

"Boss Sey. Is it one of these two cars that we're going to test drive in a moment? Looking at the two silver and black shiny brand-new F1 cars in front of him, Lao Ye still unconsciously let out a ha, and then asked the car god coveted. Old Ye Xin said***! F Ahh It's *** different! Even if it is Minaldi's broken car that Lao Ye is driving now, it is estimated that this guy will be crazy.

"Hehe, think beautifully! This is their new car,

For the sake of people? It's nice to be able to drive last year's FW-25! New Year's or big year's car! Senna smiled and joked that he was a little happy that he couldn't find Ye Feng in the north, I don't know how many years ago. He himself is like Lao Ye who is extremely envious of those F1 drivers and their cars! In the blink of an eye, everything was so far away......

"Alas! It's really stingy......" Lao Ye said a little unwillingly, but before he finished his words, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd visiting! Lao Ye looked at it, and it turned out that it was Ralph Schumacher who appeared on the new car showcase. Now visiting the headquarters of the Williams team with Lao Ye and Gu Lin are some young drivers from BMW Formula and even lower-level events, many of whom have not been able to attend the BMW annual meeting. Therefore, when I saw Schumacher Jr., who was only seen on TV before, every child would not miss the opportunity to take photos with idols and leave autographs. So the scene was suddenly chaotic......

"Kaede! Get my notebook out! I'm going to ask Schumacher Jr. to sign me! What a rare opportunity! I didn't even squeeze in when there were so many people at the drinking party that day! That's right! Take out your notebook too, and I'll get him to sign one for you!" At this time, Gu Lin did not have the calm demeanor of the past, and when she saw that little Schumacher was a few meters away from her, the girl naturally wanted to grab an autograph like everyone else.

Lao Ye naturally didn't save Gu Lin's face, but obediently took out the notebook in the girl's bag and handed it over. Then Lao Ye put all his attention on the two RW-26s on the display platform that had become empty at this moment.

Carbon fibre and epoxy synthetic chassis, 7-speed semi-automatic seamless shifting gearbox, huge carbon fibre brake discs, and dynamic front and rear fixed rear wings...... Every bit reveals the crystallization of the highest wisdom in the field of racing and the top skills of automobile technology! At this time, Lao Ye completely put away his previous more or less contempt for Williams. Because what is in front of him and the car god is undoubtedly two exquisite works that have condensed the countless efforts of all the Williams staff! In a sense, it's not a good thing to call it a great work of art. So looking at it, Lao Ye, who had completely devoted his thoughts to the two cars in front of him, couldn't help but stretch out his hands. He wanted to touch this treasure with his own hands, which had been piled up with countless pounds, countless painstaking efforts, and countless wisdom......

"Take your hands away! Is that something you can touch? Can you afford to pay for it? Just before Lao Ye's hand touched the car body, Williams's tour guide suddenly appeared in front of Lao Ye with a shout like a ghost, and "rudely" put Lao Ye's outstretched hand away! At this time, everyone's eyes were also attracted by the tour guide's loud shout, in addition to the little driver and Schumacher just now, there were also many high-level personnel from BMW and Williams who had just finished a short meeting in the exhibition hall, including Schultz......

"Oh! This must be a misunderstanding! Mr. Ye Feng is a distinguished guest invited by BMW and Williams Racing! He's going to take part in a test drive event in a moment! It's nothing to touch now, right? Schultz, who reacted quickly enough, immediately understood what was going on, so he walked up to Ye Feng while everyone was still stunned and relieved Lao Ye.

"Mr. Schultz! I have no intention of offending you! But with all due respect, even if this gentleman is a guest of honor. Without the permission of our team, ordinary people like him who have never touched F1 should not touch the car without permission! With such a delicate body, he can't afford to pay for it! The tour guide may have adhered to the principled and stubborn style of the British butler, so he did not take Schultz's relief seriously. It's still chattering there.

Lao Ye heard the other party's words, and his heart was about to explode! ***！ Isn't it just a >:! Isn't it just a carbon fiber body? Look at it! If it weren't for Gu Lin pulling tightly, if it weren't for Senna's repeated warning that he must not cause trouble in public, Lao Ye would have broken out by now!

At this time, it was not only Ye Feng who was angry, Schultz was also angry with this British tour guide who did not know the current affairs. However, he did not have a seizure because he was well educated. After all, this is not the chassis of their BMW. Schultz first glanced at Williams's top executives, and after seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Lao Shu set his eyes on his compatriot Schumacher Jr., and signaled the other party to think of some way to solve the game.

"Oh! Come on! Gerrard! This gentleman is also unintentional! Little Schumacher, who understood, first came up and said to the tour guide with a smile, and then turned to Gu Lin and Ye Feng, "That...... Is it okay now? ”

Schumacher Jr. finished. Afraid that Gu Lin and Ye Feng wouldn't understand, he deliberately pointed to the notebook and pen that Gu Lin was holding in his hand, it turned out that this guy wanted to use signatures to get both parties to step down. Seeing little Schumacher's action, Schultz next to him just wanted to cover his face......

"I'm sorry! Ralph. Mr. Schumacher! In fact, what Gu Lin and I want more is Michael's autograph! After Ye Feng finished speaking coldly, he dragged Gu Lin and walked out of the exhibition hall with his head held high under the gaze of everyone's surprised eyes......
