Chapter 186: Super Driver's License Turmoil (Part II)
When Bernie rushed to the name Schultz in front of him in a helicopter, the silver-haired old man had a hunch that it was going to be a very interesting thing. That conversation at Silverstone left Bernie with a very good impression of this young man from China. With Bernie's decades of F1*** little guy has an indescribable affinity, coupled with the calmness and humility that surpasses his peers, if he develops according to a good trajectory, Bernie believes that this Ye Feng will become a big thing! And what makes Bernie feel good the most is that all this is what this lad has shown after six consecutive championships! You know, in the group of most unruly young racers, this humility is really valuable......
However, Bernie's playfulness was soon shattered by Schultz's subsequent intentions. Applying for a Super Driver's License? No problem! Bernie has seen Ye Feng's driving level, and there should be no problem in applying for a super driver's license.
Rejected? How so? When Bernie heard this, he immediately remembered Moseley's face. Then he took Ye Feng's file and began to look at it carefully. But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it really scares the well-informed Bernie at a glance! What kind of resume are these? Ye Feng's file is definitely the weirdest resume Bernie has seen in so many years. Now Bernie somewhat understands why the FIA gang refused to issue >: driver's license, if he hadn't personally watched Ye Feng's game, Bernie believed that if he had only seen these materials himself. He would have made the same decision.
Going back, though. Bernie was starting to feel that this was a bit tricky. Bernie understands that things like applying for a super driver's license, applying again after being denied a visa once and applying for the first time are completely different concepts, and now just relying on Ye Feng's "peculiar" resume wants Moseley's FIA to agree to issue it to >:.Task. However, is this young man missing such a great opportunity to step into the F1 arena? This is a loss for Ye Feng and the F1 League itself! Just as Bernie began to think about it with a serious expression, he and Schultz on the side remembered the tape that the Germans had brought up earlier......
Quietly watching the rain race on TV, Schultz returned to the Dorrington circuit that he remembered that day. He quietly watched Ye Feng's car stop in the rain and then start again, and then dashingly overtook Schumacher Jr. and Montoya's cars in succession. At this time, the old German man didn't even look at Bernie next to him. Because he knows that as long as he has seen this videotape, he will be able to do so. They will definitely be completely shocked by Ye Feng's amazing performance......
Sure enough, when the footage ended, there was silence in the huge Bernie's office. Schultz only then looked at the top leader of F1 next to him. At this time, Bernie's face was completely immersed, and Schultz naturally knew what the other party was immersed in. Bernie didn't speak, and he naturally didn't interrupt the other's thoughts.
"Schultz, are you sure that the car inside that stopped and then overtook Ralph and Juan was driven by Ye Feng?" After a while, Bernie asked with difficulty. Everything in front of him was so shocking that he didn't have any mental preparation to meet it all. In fact, there was already enough evidence in the picture to prove that it was Ye Feng driving a racing car, but the old man still asked Schultz in disbelief.
"It's true! Bernie. You also saw it just now, that is Ye Feng. There were a lot of witnesses to the game at the time, including me and Frank. Otherwise, why do you think Frank, who has always been conservative and stubborn on the issue of employment, would dare to sign this young man just by relying on Ye Feng's performance? Schultz was now pleased with the impact of the video on Bernie, and said again with certainty.
"Great! With this tape. All the problems are solved! But, Schultz, do you know why I was a little skeptical about this tape just now? Because I watched Ye Feng's F3000 race, this young man played so shocking in the video at that time! Bernie was delighted to hear Schultz's reply. With this tape, he couldn't believe he could get the FIA guys. raised his own doubts again, because if Ye Feng is such an excellent guy, then how can Ye Feng who he saw in F3000 still have so many immature places? And if Ye Feng was so good, how could that old Williams guy think of Snow Hiding Ye Feng?
"Alas! Bernie, it's a little strange to say. Ye Feng's performance in this rain was very amazing, and it was true. But when he arrived at the Williams team, he was slow to find his original form. This annoyed Frank and the team, so they hid Ye Feng. Or did I think of having him race in the F3000 to get back in shape, and it's good now! However, he still hasn't returned to his best form! This won't affect your judgment and confidence in Ye Feng, right? Bernie's question honestly made Schultz's heart tighten, because now Ye Feng's level can be said to be a "weakness" of his, if his state at that time could continue, there would be no trouble like today. Still, the German's candor made Scholz bluntly explain everything to Bernie.
"Oh! It's still that complicated? But Ye Feng still surprised me! Even just thinking that this little guy will one day be able to recreate the amazing state of that rain for all of us is very much worth looking forward to! Leave this matter to me, but to deal with that Moseley guy, we still have to sum it up......" Bernie suddenly realized when he heard this, and then he thought of what Ye Feng had told him about the recovery state. However, the old man still happily reassured Schultz, and then the two old men began to discuss how to make the FIA successfully recognize Ye Feng's qualification for a super driver's license......
......
"Ralph. Schumacher's thrill at the Indianapolis Circuit may still be reverberating in many people's minds at this time. But as far as the Williams team is concerned. They don't have much time to be more sentimental about it. As we all know, Montoya alone cannot form a convoy. As a result, Sir Williams had to bring in one of the team's test drivers to temporarily take Ralph's place.
So, who could this person be? Is it Pizzonia? By all accounts, the Brazilian has undoubtedly been a good substitute, not enough to change the current terrible situation of Williams this year, but at least a good choice.
However, we may be ignoring a person's name when we think about it this way. That is Ye Feng, who is also a Williams test driver. Ye Feng? That's right, it's the Chinese driver who just won an astonishing six consecutive championships in this year's F Cup! I believe that anyone who has watched him compete will be amazed by the unforgettable skills of this Chinese young man on the track
.
And. Judging from the fact that Sir Williams applied to the FIA for Ye Feng for a super driver's license in the first time, the Williams team's intention to use Ye Feng is very obvious! If it can be successful, then this is undoubtedly a future worth looking forward to for fans who have seen Ye Feng running wildly! Maybe Pizzonia is a reassuring and competent substitute driver, but Ye Feng is the kind of guy who makes people have infinite expectations for him at a glance!
Regrettably, however, the FIA did not > the application. According to relevant authoritative sources, the reason for refusal is very simple, Ye Feng's resume is too simple! But personally, the driver's license grade is actually a label that indicates the driver's driving ability and technical level. It's only natural for drivers of different skill levels to have different levels of driver's licenses. Under this framework, drivers who have a place above the current level are eligible for a driver's license promotion! I don't know what the FIA thinks about it, but it's nonsense to refuse to issue a super driver's license to someone who actually already has F1 driving skills just because their resume isn't beautiful enough!
I'm sure most people and I have the same sentiment: we need new people! We need Ye Feng! ”

"F1 Giants..; Famous people question FIA's refusal to sign Ye Feng! 》
Mosley held back his anger before reading the article in Milan Sport that analysed Williams' substitute drivers. But when he saw another piece of news, Moseley couldn't contain his anger anymore and threw the newspaper aside!
To be honest, refusing to issue Ye Feng a super driver's license before was nothing more than a very inconspicuous thing for Moseley. He also didn't think there would be any serious consequences for sending a Chinese kid away. But then a series of strange things happened to Moseley. First, several European sports newspapers reported in detail on Ye Feng's application for a super driver's license, and then several well-known reporters published commentator articles such as Milan Sport Newspaper that questioned the FIA's approach. It was definitely something that caught Moseley off guard. Because he never imagined that a little-known Chinese driver could have such an influence in Europe!
And when Mosley saw on TV the sports news reporter to Bernie. Ecristone, Frank. Williams, Schultz, and Pete. When interviewed by Sauber and other F1 giants, these giants expressed their support for Ye Feng and questioned the FIA policy almost identically! Moseley understood everything, it turned out that this was Bernie's old guy taking advantage of Ye Feng's problem to fight back against the FIA! He had just criticised the F1 management after the accident in the United States, and now he was being hit head-on by Bernie, which really gave Moseley a bit of a headache. He never thought that Bernie's old guy would actually play the trick of public opinion guidance with him.
But now Mosley really admires that Chinese kid a little, he Ye Feng really has face, a super driver's license refusal can have so many giants to speak for him! Out of concern for this matter and interest in Ye Feng. Mosley carefully studied Ye Feng's other files. When Mosley found out that in addition to being a driver, Ye Feng also owned the Chinese track championship team, a WRC team and a team that had participated in the Dakar Rally, Slee regretted his rashness in this matter. Ye Feng, this guy is still a rich driver! No wonder as soon as he was denied a visa, so many giants jumped out to speak for him! And this year is the first year that F1 has entered China, and FIA's refusal to sign Ye Feng is equivalent to blocking the financial path of Bernie's gang, so it's no wonder that people are not in a hurry with him! Now that I think about it, I easily got the FIA into a dispute because of this incident, Mo L
But just bow to Bernie and F1 Management? Mosley can't afford to lose this man! After all, FIA is also the superior of F1, and if Bernie wins this time, then the situation that Moseley has worked so hard to run for so many years will be ruined. And it is conceivable that in the future, that old guy Bernie will also take the opportunity to make progress on various reform issues...... But just carrying it? Mosley is also a little weak in his heart, after all, he is blocking everyone's financial path!
I couldn't think of a clue, but at this time, the phone on Moseley's desk rang first......
"Hey, is it Moseley? I'm Bernie! Have you read today's newspaper? I want to talk to you about Ye Feng's problem! What Mosley didn't expect was Bernie's old fellow's voice coming from the side of the earpiece. And without any pleasantries or nonsense, Bernie immediately got to the point.
"Oh! See! But my opinion is clear. Don't you think Ye Feng's years of professional racing training are too short? Is it too hasty to put such a driver on the Formula 1 track? What if something happens to this young man as well? Although surprised, Moseley quickly adjusted his mood and tone, and said lightly to Bernie.
"Hehe, Max, I guess let's open the skylight and say something! Ye Feng already has a necessary level for an F1 driver, which is beyond doubt! So there is no need to refract some differences between you and me in this little guy. As you know, F1 is about to enter China this year, and it is a huge opportunity and benefit for us to let Ye Feng appear in the competition as soon as possible!
Moreover, in my hand there is a video tape that is enough to prove Ye Feng's ability. Once it is announced, it will definitely dispel anyone's doubts about Ye Feng's ability, pay attention! It's anyone! Believe me, Max, I don't mean anything about it, and I don't mean to threaten you with that tape! It's just that you can please issue Ye Feng this driver's license! All right? It's good for all of us! You tell me? ”
As soon as Bernie heard that Moseley was another diplomatic rhetoric, he bluntly tore off all the disguises of the other party. When Mosley heard the back, he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and he said in his heart that you Bernie *** is not threatening what is that? However, Moseley thought to himself that if the other party really had such information, then Bernie's ability might have to stir up a bigger storm, and at this time, the FIA president already wanted to calm things down.
"Bernie, I can agree to your request, but you also have to promise me to start a major F1 overhaul after this season!"
"Hehe, Max, you see you're pulling things away again! We can sit down and talk about reform. We are talking about Ye Feng's driver's license now, pay attention, I don't want to use this little guy to make any trouble, and I don't want you to use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me. Pass Ye Feng's application! Max, it's just a gesture for you! ”
"Oh well! Not an example! ”
