Chapter 315: First Arrival in Your Land

To put it simply, Ye Feng, who was wearing a Ferrari red shirt for the first time, really felt that his dream had come true, and as soon as he stepped on this place full of red elements, his heart was already full of it.

Walking all the way down the workshop of Ferrari's headquarters, Ye Feng saw that all kinds of things were very fresh. It can be said that his current mentality is no different from that of an ordinary Ferrari fan, at least until now, in addition to the excitement, Ye Feng actually regards him as an outsider here.

Soon, Ye Feng met his new teammate and old rival Raikkonen. It was exactly the same feeling as seeing himself wearing a red racing suit, and Ye Feng was also a little awkward in how he looked at Raikkonen in red now. At the same time, the eyes of the Finn looking at Ye Feng were also a little strange, in the first minute of encounter, the two of them stared at each other like this in full view, and no one spoke.

"To be honest, I still think it's more pleasing to the eye in a dark blue racing suit! I'm really not used to this now! ”

Ignoring Ye Feng's strange expression, Raikkonen still gave Ye Feng a blow before the other party.

Actually, I was just trying to tell you that! I think silver is more suitable for you! ”

Ye Feng didn't give an inch, and said back with a smile. The two each joked before smiling and shaking hands, the first time the two new Ferrari drivers shook hands.

"Well, I said, aren't you quite beautiful in Williams, why did you come here to steal my job?"

Raikkonen, who has already "talked to Ye Feng", still "unforgivingly" jokes about his Chinese teammates. There was a smile in his eyes, it seemed that he was a little urgent about Ye Feng's joining, but he was also looking forward to it.

"Huh. I don't want to see you alone, so I'm here! That. In the past, you always said that you were not as good as me in racing, but now there is no excuse! Let me see what you're really capable of! ”

Ye Feng also said with a smile, Ye Feng still has a good impression of the Finns who have always been relatively low-key but have been talking a lot to him. is similar to Gu Lin's cold on the outside and hot on the inside, in fact, after getting acquainted with each other, the Finn is also a good buddy.

"That's it! You two guys, I'm a test rider for both of you from now on! If I find out which of you is performing rubbish. I still don't mind going back out into the mountains! ”

At this time, a hearty voice came from behind the two of them, and when they looked back, they saw that Schumacher, the king of the car, was also walking towards the two of them in a red racing suit. Such a line-up of drivers and test drivers is almost the envy of other teams, and judging from the current atmosphere, the atmosphere of this new driver line-up is also very good.

This should be a good place to start.

……

On the first day, Ye Feng and Raikkonen attended a media conference, a press conference for the new season and other projects before ending the trip. In the next few days, I attended the new product launch activities of some sponsors together, and followed by several advertisements to complete this round of social activities.

In the past few days, Ye Feng has completely felt the complete difference between Ferrari and Williams. Of course, Ye Feng has to carry out the above work at Williams Racing, but the specifications and quantities cannot be compared with Ferrari. And in Williams, Ye Feng has the right to choose the place to attend these events. There, Ye Feng focused more on the development and improvement of racing cars, and many things Michael and the team pushed for him.

But here, the strict attitude of the Ferrari team towards these commercial activities made Ye Feng unable to take these activities lightly, Ye Feng knew. It was in this way that Ferrari became the most commercially successful team of the last decade. Therefore, Ye Feng worked hard and was very committed to every activity, but after such a round of activities, Ye Feng couldn't help but feel very tired.

Finally after all this is over. Preparations for the new season have finally begun. Then, when Ye Feng reported a positive attitude and was ready to participate in the development of the new car with the team's technicians, he found that as a driver, he did not need his help on many occasions.

Like Schumacher, the team that had not won a championship for more than 20 years, the Ferrari team has become a professional team with a clear division of labor and strong teamwork ability after the baptism of five consecutive championships. Almost every employee here performs their own duties, and everyone's work cooperates with each other in an orderly manner, which is completely a scientific and modern management style.

And in the Williams team, due to the lack of technical ability. Ye Feng took on a lot of technician work. Coupled with the lack of funds, Williams' mechanics often had to work with two or even three Ferrari technicians, and the efficiency and scientific distribution were not on par with the Ferrari team.

Until now

Only then did I understand that even though Williams won the championship, the internal management of the laley was much worse, and it seems that the car king can win five championships in a row is not just dependent on the factor of racing. Getting a glimpse of the inner workings of Ferrari for the first time, even the well-informed Senna couldn't help but be amazed.

However, in this way, Ye Feng's habitual plan to participate in the development of new cars to improve his understanding of all aspects of the performance of the car had to be adjusted, and he could only wait until the new car was developed to a certain extent, and he could only start to master the performance of the Ferrari car when he was tested.

Ye Feng knew that he had just arrived, so he didn't think about taking the initiative to apply or change anything. He didn't say anything, silently accepting the training plans assigned to him by the team. He understands that in the past, Williams had everything centered on him, but now that Ferrari has come to it, he needs Ye Feng to adapt to the team's arrangement. This seems to be a big adjustment, but only Ye Feng understands that there may be many things that he needs to adapt to and change step by step.

Raikkonen has shown great adaptability to the Scuderia Ferrari arrangement, perhaps as he did at McLaren. Now he and Ye Feng are actively doing physical training, and then waiting for the new chariot to come out.

……

Fast forward to 2007, when Ferrari's new season car F2007 was finally unveiled in front of the eagerly awaited people. The car, which Ferrari claims is poised to regain the title, naturally caught people's attention as soon as it appeared.

But then, for Ye Feng, he started a test drive process that was not very smooth. He first blew the car due to a misoperation of the key positions on the steering wheel that were different from the original Williams car, and then due to a lack of communication with Ferrari's team of technicians, he made mistakes in the tuning of the car, which led to several damage to the gearbox of the new car.

These accidents were actually not a big deal during the season preparation period, but they had a certain impact on Ye Feng's psychology.

Although he kept smiling at everyone, Ye Feng understood that at this time, the outside world was actually doubting whether his trip to the Italian gold rush would be successful. Originally, he hoped to use perfect performance again and again to quickly make these doubts disappear, but he never thought that the more he did this, the more he would be unable to achieve it.

In fact, it is not difficult to wonder that even in the last half of Ye Feng's racing season, his racing career was actually only 4 short periods. Compared with other drivers who have been systematically training since 7 or 8, Ye Feng's foundation in many places is still unstable. Even though he became a world champion at Williams, many times it was because Ye Feng was completely familiar with the set of cars and tactics tailored for him.

At this time, coming to Ferrari requires Ye Feng to adapt more quickly to this huge change in racing style and technical specifications, which requires a driver to accumulate experience in long-term motorsports competitions. And this is undoubtedly what Ye Feng lacks the most, so coupled with the unfamiliarity of his cooperation with his teammates in the new car team, and the difficulty of changing his driving habits for a while, it is not surprising that a series of small accidents occurred before.

However, Ye Feng, who was eager to prove his strength, was a little unable to tolerate his recent performance, although he didn't say anything, he had lost the smile that he would put on his face every day when he first entered the team. And under the influence of this psychology, he even felt that the way the team members looked at him was a little abnormal after a few unforced mistakes. Although Senna also enlightened Ye Feng several times, the effect was not significant.

In terms of adaptability, Raikkonen is undoubtedly much stronger than Ye Feng. After all, although he is also an F1 skipper, he still has far more driving hours than Ye Feng, so from the very beginning, the Finn showed his good attitude towards this F2007

This situation undoubtedly made Ye Feng, who was already a little anxious, feel the weight of the pressure even more, and at this time, the Italian media who witnessed Ye Feng's "clumsy" performance also began to question Ye Feng in a new round. In particular, some media who were originally opposed to Ye Feng's arrival even criticized Ye Feng for not thinking about moving from Britain to Italy, and for a while, the guns of public opinion began to be aimed at Ye Feng.

At this time, it was Schumacher who was the first to stand up against the media's statement, and he was also the most resolute supporter of Ye Feng. He claimed that Ye Feng was just in the adaptation period, and when the season began, he would be able to see Ye Feng's true power!

Following the King of Cars, let. Todd and others also began to express their support for Ye Feng one after another. In this way, people's doubts about Ye Feng have also come to an end temporarily, and the same 07 years. The game is about to kick off.
