Chapter 239: A Difficult Start (2)

The snowflakes were still flying quietly in the sky, but the ground, the mountains and the ocean were already covered in silver. The whole continent is silent without a single sound, and when many parts of the world have been blown green by the spring breeze, it seems that it has not changed for thousands of years......

Suddenly, a gust of wind stronger than the cold wind blew, and a red phantasmagoric image broke the silence of the Nordic winter wilderness with a huge sound. And as it gradually approached, the fierce and avant-garde body shape gradually appeared. As if tearing through the canopy of wind and snow, with a flying mud and screaming, the red, which seemed so alien to the ice field, flew away at a speed worse than the cold wind, leaving it to run over a blackened deserted road......

Soon, when everything was calm again, the snowstorm began to silently carry out its own work of decorating the land again. The barren road that had been crushed was soon covered by new snow. When a spiraling cloud of snow slowly obscured the last trace of blackness, the land seemed to return to its former form......

However, this is not the end of the story. Another loud noise came first, and this time it was the same silver phantom that tore open the silver canopy. If the car in front of it was like a blazing fire, this time it was just as cold in the snowstorm. However, unlike the great power brought by the red just now, the silver behind did not bring a more powerful noise, with a little unwillingness in the roar, the silver chariot gradually disappeared into the snowstorm, leaving only the same tranquility as always......

"Gu Qing, what's the situation on your side now? From here, we see that you and Zheng Xiao are getting farther and farther away from Grunholm and Loeb! Is there something wrong with the car? Just as Gu Qing was concentrating on controlling his silver Citroen racing car in the wind and snow, Romario's voice came from the earphones. The silver racing car just now was naturally the 05 RC racing car driven by Gu Qing. However, it can also be heard from Rory's words that the situation of Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao is not good.

"Yes! Our car still can't get the power out of the four wheels fully and adequately, and it seems like there's something wrong with the tires today! I'll try to catch up though! ”

Gu Qing still replied lightly, but his heart was a little depressed at this time. In fact, it is no longer a question of how much they are behind Loeb and Grunholm at great speed. Now, in the first two races of the year, they have been reduced to fighting for not to be at the bottom.

Originally, after Citroen sent the car and the technician to Citroen last year, coupled with Ye Fengdi's technical support, the first time to participate in the Racing Wind Extreme Speed under the leadership of Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao still achieved an impressive record of sixth in the overall score. But who knows that this year, according to the contract, Citroen ended its support for the new car team of Turbo and switched to only providing racing cars. Relying only on the speed of the wind, his own technician team, without Ye Feng joining, the new car in the new season will be opened up by the opponents such a big gap!

Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao, who had never considered these "trivial matters" before, only now realized what a comfortable and competitive environment that Lao Ye's guy had created for them in both CCC and RC......

However, Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao also knew that now was not the time for them to get discouraged with Hurricane. After all, the current Ye Feng is also busy with his own affairs, and they can't just rely on Lao Ye and Citroen for a lifetime. At this moment, after glancing at Zheng Xiao next to him tacitly, the ace of the wind and speed began to regain his spirits, and his hands like iron firmly grasped the steering wheel. Persistently driving this car, which was not too competitive, continued to step through the snow and wind resolutely......

At this moment, Gu Qing and Zheng Xiao both swore that they must rely on their own efforts to defeat the opponents in this new field, as before, they believed. Someday it will be realized......

……

Bidding farewell to Finland covered in snow, let's turn our attention to the desert that is still cold but has a different scenery. In the ancient Gobi of North Africa, in the mobile camp of the Dakar Rally, the flags of Italy, Spain and Australia were flown at half-mast in the mobile camp. With this sad signal. An atmosphere of great sorrow permeated the entire camp at this time.

On the surface of the Italian half-flag, Gu Lin stood quietly, but her beautiful face was full of crystal tears at this time. Even though she has seen so many car accidents, even if she herself has experienced the baptism of death, but when she really lost her friend for the first time in her life, the girl still can't let herself accept such a cruel reality.

Before leaving for this stop, Mayoni had obviously greeted her Gu Lin! How come it is that when you return to camp 10 hours later, you hear the bad news of this funny senior? How is this possible? The unexpected death of Seincott earlier this year has left the racing world devastated and lost a talent, and now his best friend and former team-mate Mayoni has also died......

Looking at it, Gu Lin, who couldn't bear such bad news, slowly let his body slide into the yellow sand. A few tears slipped silently. Who would have known that they had watched the video of Ye Feng cheering them on together a few days ago. Is this the impermanence of the world? Gu Lin didn't know, she only knew that at this moment, she almost couldn't help but give up this sport that made her so sad, throw herself into Feng's arms, and spend this unbearable moment with her lover......

"Lin'er, don't be like this, okay?" Just when Gu Lin couldn't control her emotions, her body was gently taken into her arms by a person next to her, and at the same time, Zhang Yu's unique soft voice sounded slightly sentimental. "None of us expected that to be the outcome. No one wants Mayo to leave us like this. But, that's life. Now that it's happened. We're going to have to accept it, wipe away our tears, and get on with our own way! Do you understand? I'm sure if Mayo was here, he wouldn't want his beautiful little friend to be so sad for him! ”

"Sister! I really can't take it anymore! I can't stand it! Seeing that it was his eldest sister, Gu Lin suddenly threw herself into the arms of Zhang Yu, who was also very haggard, like a child, and at the same time, the nerves that had been tense for many days because of the race and bad news finally collapsed all at once, "Our car fell behind greatly from the beginning, and I was the only one left in the three cars we participated in less than 4 stops. There are also accidents that have never stopped. Now Mayo is gone again! I really can't stand it anymore! It's so cruel, I'm going to get out of here, out of this maddening place! ”

"Lin'er!" Zhang Yu hugged the collapsed Gu Lin even tighter, and at the same time gently stroked the girl's long hair with his hand, "I don't know if you still remember how many ups and downs and setbacks you and I have gone through since the creation of Hurricane Speed." Have you decided that you really want to give up like this? Give up what we all expect from you, and give up the opportunity to bring honor to this team created by Ah Feng? Have you forgotten when Zheng Xiao bravely saved the bus? Or have you forgotten your experience of being in distress in the United States with Ah Feng? Have you forgotten that guy's depression, self-blame after you were badly injured? Or have you forgotten the incredible experience you had last season when you went from not finishing to the super comeback?

Lin'er, haven't we all come through so difficult? Mayo and Sain are indeed far away from us. But I believe they have left their last favor forever in the field they love, and as a driver who loves motorsport, they have no regrets!

Cheer up! Girl! We all need you! Needed so much! ”

After listening to Zhang Yu's slightly angry and affectionate words, Gu Lin, who had completely lost control just now, finally raised her head from the woman's arms. Those teary eyes finally went from empty to radiant again. Seeing this situation, Zhang Yu's tearful face was mixed with a smile. She knew that after such a difficult experience in the competition, Gu Lin, a girl, would be a little stronger and more mature.

And the Italian flag circled a few times, still fluttering in the wind......

……

Grey skies, cold air, empty proving grounds......

Ye Feng silently let himself move forward aimlessly. He also learned of the deaths of Seincott and then Mayoni. Although I don't feel as empathy as my lover who is thousands of miles away, I still feel empty in my heart these days, and I can't lift my energy......

However, the troublesome things did not stop there, the wind tunnel in Williams Land still did not resume work in the time that everyone needed, and the miracle naturally did not appear. This also means that Ye Feng and his local team have to temporarily welcome the start of the new season with last year's old car. In fact, the biggest factor why the failure of the wind tunnel has been delayed for so long and has not been repaired is the problem of money.

Although the investment in Ye Feng and Massa is less than the salary expenditure of Montoya + Schumacher Jr. last year. But after following the advice of Ye Feng and Michael, the old Williams spent a lot more on the research and development of the new race car than the investment in recent years. When everyone has a lot of confidence in the new cars for the new season, no one would have thought that it would be a serious failure of the wind tunnel, which is also a money-burning device. A large amount of cash has already been spent, and the Williams team sponsors who are angry with BMW are even more elve, and they are simply not willing to invest any off-contract expenses for their sponsors in the uncertain situation. And Lao Ye still needs to support 3 teams in different fields to earn money, so naturally he has no ability to help the British old man, and in addition, the relationship between Massa and his boss is naturally not good enough to support the team out of his own pocket. So. Before Ye Feng got a large amount of sponsorship projects such as Lenovo and Sinopec. Williams's wind tunnel failure can only be repaired wherever it is......

Maybe Ye Feng didn't have too many worries about using the old racing car to fight against the new cars of his opponents before. But when the test data of the new cars of other teams came to Ye Feng and Williams through various channels, none of them could maintain a minimum of optimism. It's obvious. At least Renault and McLaren's new race cars far surpass Williams' improved F-26 in many technical aspects, and the pressure on Ye Feng and the team will be more severe than ever......

"Hey! Leaf! Why haven't you come home yet? We've been training a lot these days and we're going to Australia soon! Rest well! Just when Ye Feng was still worried about the mess in his mind, he suddenly felt someone behind him patting him on the shoulder and said, Lao Ye turned his head and saw that it was his teammate Massa who had just trained with him in the strength room. Because of Ye Feng's friendly behavior at the beginning, the relationship between the two of them got along very well after Ma Sa's arrival. And at this time, the Brazilian guy's face can also see the heartfelt concern.

"Oh! It's Felipe! Why haven't you left yet? Oh! By the way, are you sure you don't want to move out of that three-star hotel to live with me for a while? The environment over there is much better, and if you live there, everyone can take care of it somewhat! Seeing that it was a Brazilian boy, Ye Feng naturally said to the other party cordially. Because of the relationship between Boss Sai, Lao Ye has been very concerned about Massa from the beginning, and he also knows that the concern on Massa's face now is also sincere, at least after Luke left, Ye Feng is the only guy here who can communicate with him in Portuguese, Massa's native language. Kindness also comes naturally.

"Leaf! Thank you again for your kind invitation, but for the time being, I won't be able to go first, and I am very comfortable in that hotel! ”

Massa heard Ye Feng's Portuguese that couldn't be pure in the pure Brazilian flavor again, and in addition to surprise and curiosity, his heart was naturally cordial. He politely rejected Ye Feng again and grabbed Lao Ye's shoulder. At this time, the Brazilian kid naturally saw the faint worry between Ye Feng's eyebrows. Before, maybe Massa didn't know what that meant, but as he became more and more integrated into the team, he naturally understood more and more what Ye Feng was worried about at this time......

Development of new cars, preparation for the new season, and contact with team sponsorship projects......

The more he got to know Ye Feng, the more Massa sometimes couldn't figure out what kind of identity he should use to position the guy in front of him who was younger than himself. I just met Lao Ye. Massa feels that this will be a good driver in the future. Even when Ye Feng became famous in F1, Massa only thought that Ye Feng was a guy with strength and good luck, at least better than his luck, because Ye Feng could be in a big team like Williams as soon as he debuted, unlike him, although Massa has always been a Ferrari team. But you have to train in a small team like Sauber......

However, now the previous somewhat sour feeling of Ye Fengdi in Massa's heart is finally about to be rewritten! Because Massa found that in addition to the ability to drive a racing car is not inferior to him, Ye Feng's attainments in modifying and developing racing cars are something he can't catch up with! And now in addition to these. Ye Feng also has to participate in part of the affairs of the Williams team operation! Massa still can't figure it out, everyone is also a young person, and how Ye Feng knows so many things more than him! And when he accidentally heard from Petrus that Ye Feng had been driving racing for less than 2 years, Massa felt that he needed to refresh his previous all-round understanding and values about the racing field......

Therefore, after really understanding Ye Feng's de facto multiple identities in Williams, the Brazilian young man no longer had the slightest suspicion of Ye Feng, and what he left was not only convinced, but also convinced. Although Ye Feng is not as high as an idol in Massa's mind. But the Brazilian kid thinks this Chinese buddy is really awesome......

"Hey! Leaf! Don't talk about me yet! Why don't I see that your mood is not high these days! Are you still bothering about the development of our new race car? Or is it something else, can you tell me about it? After seeing Ye Feng's expression, Massa took the initiative to ask.

"Yes! Some of them shouldn't have been told before the start of the race, but by all indications, the gap between the cars we used in the opening race and our opponents was a bit unbearable! Seeing Massa's concern, Ye Feng first wanted to speak and then stopped, and finally couldn't bear to lie to him......

"That's something you can't help but do! However, leaves. You don't have to worry too much about it. Maybe you should learn from me! Look at how unlucky I was when I drove the Sauber, and it was a great joy to finish the race! No matter how slow our car is. It can't be worse than when I was at the beginning, right? Be optimistic! Massa still enlightened Lao Ye in his own way.

"Alas! But to make matters worse, we don't know when the tunnel will be repaired. And before that, I'm afraid we're going to have to use this car with obvious disadvantages! So be mentally prepared! ”

"Huh! Ye, don't say that! In fact, after I got to know you, I admired you! We're all young drivers, so you can worry about so much after training like I do. But, then again, maybe I'm narrower than what I've seen and what I've considered, but you know, there are some things that are out of our control! Ultimately. We're here, and it's our job to be a good driver! So, buddy, don't think so much! Take it easy! ”

"Hey! You guy, don't you scold me for being nosy? Good boy, do you see the motorcycle over there? I'm going to duel with you! Whoever loses is in for a treat! ”

"Hey! Wait for me! Why didn't you run away before you said it started? ”

……

When the ambitious Briatelli and his team took the well-tuned R25 to the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne, when Ye Feng and Williams had to use the old car to go to Australia to meet the opening field of the new season after all their efforts, when Ferrari and Schumacher, who were still invincible last season, had to decide to use the old car at the last minute. In fact, the outcome of this game has long lost its suspense......

It's just that even the most daring prophet didn't expect that Renault, who was the fourth oldest player last season, would come out on top in the new season, and not only did Renault win, but it was still so easy to win, as easy as in the past when Ferrari was at its most glorious.

Powered by the R25. Fisichella and Alonso both finished on the podium, with the former claiming the second race of his eight-year F1 career with an undisputed performance, while Spaniard Alonso came back from 11th place on the grid to finish third. The king of cars, who had been in everyone's attention before the race, not only managed to get the fifteenth grid in the new qualifying rules, but also collided with other drivers in the official race. Didn't even finish the race. Had it not been for Ferrari's late desperate retainer Barrichello, who had been able to finish runner-up, the defending champions would have had to swallow the bitter fruit of the opening defeat......

Of course, most spectators may have thought that this was the title that Renault had taken advantage of the fact that the other teams had failed to get into shape at the start of the race, but the two sky-blue cars showed more speed and stability than the other rivals' cars, as if giving a glimpse of the ambition and return to the championship of the former Benetton. Fans who are tired of always winning with Ferrari and Schumacher should be happy with the "unconventional" situation that has taken place at the start of the season......

Last year's runner-up Williams team, who had also had high hopes from many and many Chinese fans, was a bit of a disappointment, and after the race, they were completely drowned in the storm created by Renault and ignored it. Massa, one of the team's two drivers, didn't even finish the race.

As for Ye Feng, in fact, this guy's performance in this game is still very good! Not every young driver can snatch a fifth-place finish while driving a car from last season. Earned the first four points of the new season for the team. However, you must know that this kind of result is the final ranking obtained by Ye Feng when he won the fifth place in the qualifying round, which means that Lao Ye has not been able to surpass any opponent at all in the whole game. In addition, what made Ye Feng and many people who watched the race feel even more depressed was that Ye Feng was also overtaken on the track by Alonso and his R25, who were originally far behind him! thus achieved a good reversal of the other party......

On the track, it is definitely a shame to be surpassed by your opponent in the competition of your opponent! And this reflects the huge disadvantage of Williams racing compared to Renault racing cars in terms of speed. Otherwise, Ye Feng would not have let Alonso overtake him like that. However, the outside world doesn't seem to want to pay attention to so many reasons, in everyone's eyes, Ye Feng is not as good as Alonso. That's just the way it is......

Starting with last year's Shanghai station. Until the end of today's opening game, in the hearts of many people. I'm afraid that the coat of that amazing genius boy will have to peel off ......^-^^-^ Ye Feng's body
