Chapter 155: Lonely in England (3)

The Limmes team is named after Sir Frank, a veteran of F1 who is naturally the most vocal ruler of this old team. But that still doesn't dampen the influence of another man in the Williams team. Maybe it's Frank who is in charge of the team coordination. Williams, but when it comes to the race, it's the technical director who was quietly staring at the small screen watching the team's drivers play. Michael. It's hard to put the Australian personality into words on the line, but maybe one scene says it all.

At last year's French race, Michael sat in the Williams team's pit lane. Dissatisfied with the team's pit stop strategy, Montoya lashed out at the team over the radio.

"You all are a pile of!" Colombians were screaming at everyone on the radio.

"No, Juan!" Michael's voice over the radio was calm, "You're." ”

......

When Ye Feng staged that amazing overtaking scene on the rainy Dorington Circuit, Sam. Michael is on vacation at his home in Canberra, Australia, so the Australian hasn't paid as much attention to the Chinese rookie as anyone else, and if it weren't for the video of the Ye Fengyu test drive shown to him before, Michael would have even objected to Serena Williams signing the driver, who only has a Class B license. For the Australian, it doesn't matter what others say or what he's done before, it's what a driver shows in front of his eyes! Presence is what Michael cares about. The Chinese wanted to stay in the convoy. I had to show something in front of him Michael.

......

This time, the entire Williams team was brought together up and down the ground, and the official test finally began at the moment when all the green lights were on. There was no rain in the sky today, so four FWs - the fastest to get out of the starting line! Schumacher and Montoya, who were in the first row at the start, naturally had a hard time at the start. The two of them tangled almost from the first corner, and it was as intense as a real F1 race. Behind them, the Pizzonia car followed. And Ye Feng, who made everyone's high hopes, did not play well in the starting stage and fell in the last place of the four cars. And the distance between him and the car in front is still getting bigger and bigger incredibly.

Maybe others don't know what happened to Lao Ye now, but he himself clearly realizes that it is far more difficult to control an F1 car than to watch others control it! Maybe Lao Ye just smiled in surprise when he heard Senna say that in an F1 race, a driver has to change gears 2500 and changes gears every 2 minutes on average. And now Lao Ye deeply understands that Senna is by no means alarmist when he says this! The many buttons that are all over the steering wheel are usually very familiar. And now it is like a book from heaven that gives Ye Feng a headache. Even if the gear shift is made with more convenient paddles, the huge psychological pressure of being reimbursed by the car for fear of changing the wrong gear firmly imprisons Ye Fengdi's movements, coupled with the throttle that is much more sensitive than any other car that Lao Ye has driven, and the super acceleration ability of the F1 car make Lao Ye feel difficult to control. So it's impossible to perform at a high level in such an environment......

In fact, after coming to the Williams team, Ye Feng has been making preparations before the first test drive, including physical training and driving preparations. Thanks to more than a year of unremitting systematic training, Lao Ye now has a strong physique that is strong enough to withstand the intense pressure of F1 races, which has been fully proven when Senna controlled Ye Feng's body for a test drive. Moreover, Ye Feng also carefully studied the length, angle, surrounding terrain and other data of each corner of the Lington Park Track, and Lao Ye also formulated for himself to maintain the speed and gear when passing each corner. and a test drive plan for speed and gear after cornering.

But when Ye Feng is now holding the steering wheel of the FW-26 and running on this track that has been "studied" by Lao Ye very thoroughly, Lao Ye never imagined that it would be so difficult to run this track that was not too difficult and was easily conquered by the boss at a high speed! The established plan soon became a useless ornament in the process of Lao Ye's busy driving, and although the FW-26 steering wheel in the process of high-speed driving was more than the 03-C+, which was extremely fast, it was a lot of arm strength and physical strength to grasp normally. In a word. Now Ye Feng can't care about what others think of his poor performance, how to make the car not quit the test halfway is Lao Ye's only goal now. And the rookie is a rookie after all, and it is also the status quo that Lao Ye recognized through this test run......

......

"Hey! Leaf! What the hell are you doing? Isn't it fun to put on a show for everyone like a? Or do you think the scenery of this track is beautiful and you should take a good look at it? This TM

... Driving training outing! How long are you going to grind? Do you need me to find a trailer for you? ”

When Montoya, Schumacher Jr. and Pizzonha's cars once again set Ye Feng's "slow" car. Michael, the technical director, finally couldn't help but reprimand Ye Feng mercilessly on the radio. There is no doubt that the first appearance of this Chinese in front of him was simply terrible! Bad start, bad cornering, bad straight sprints, in short, everything was so bad! If the Australians hadn't seen the footage of the test drive in the rain provided by Serena Williams, Michael would not have agreed to the team signing such a guy who is not even as good as any F3 player.

But it was that video material that also made Michael a little puzzled about what happened to this Chinese. To be honest, when he saw Ye Feng being "slowly soaring" by the other three drivers at the beginning, he thought that there was a problem with Ye Feng's car. Otherwise, how can it be explained that the drivers who can overtake Schumacher Jr. and Montoya so wantonly are so slow today? But the more he looked down, the more Michael couldn't understand what Ye Feng was doing. That car doesn't look like a problem! And Ye Feng's lap results are also improving "slowly", but it is really ridiculously slow. Ye Feng's performance is really like a rookie who has never driven a F1 car, tossing around on the track.

But after all, there is still that tape! In fact, such a huge contrast is bothering all the team members who witnessed Ye Feng's performance, including Michael. And after Ye Feng was lapped countless times by three other drivers, the anger of the Australian finally began to explode, and he thought the Chinese was teasing the entire team......

"Ahh I'm sorry! Sorry Mr. Michael! I didn't mean to! "Now Ye Feng has passed the initial moment of hurry, after all, Lao Ye has also made full preparations. However, he knew that his speed was so fast today, and the blood gushing back after high-speed corners again and again made Lao Ye feel a little unbearable. And seeing that he was being trapped again and again, Lao Ye knew that it was a big shame to be embarrassed today. Therefore, his answer was also a little apprehensive and apologetic. Boss Sai! Plug Boss! Who called the car god's performance too good? This time, Lao Ye felt that the joke seemed to be too big.

"Don't talk about these useless birds! Is something wrong with your car? If yes, why didn't the team notify the team earlier, not me? It's a kind of destruction of the car, don't you understand? Michael was now willing to convince himself that there must have been a problem with Ye Feng's damn car today, otherwise he thought he was going crazy. His tone now was full of intense depression, suppressing himself and trying not to be angry with this newcomer.

"Nope! No! There was nothing wrong with the car, it was my own bad form today! Ye Feng obviously didn't cooperate with Michael's consciousness, and he said frankly to the other party. But in fact, it's not that Lao Ye is in a bad state, in fact, he has done a good job of holding on to so many laps without problems, but F1 racing is still too difficult for Lao Ye now.

"......" The Australian finally didn't know what to say after Ye Feng replied, and Michael, who was furious, stood there holding the microphone for a long time, and finally turned his attention to the performance of other drivers.

......

Ye Feng finally insisted on driving the car to the scheduled number of test drive laps before terminating his first intimate contact with F1. When Ye returned to the pits, he saw strange glances from the others. Ye Feng knew the meaning in people's eyes, it was extremely incomprehensible, and he didn't understand what happened to Ye Feng today. However, Lao Ye still felt that his performance was okay, at least he didn't let the car break down, although he let other cars ring countless times, but as a newcomer, Lao Ye felt that as long as he was given enough test drive time, he could do it like other drivers.

But this may just be Lao Ye's own thoughts. What Ye Feng didn't realize was that the reason why Williams signed such a little-known driver as him was because of his amazing performance during that test drive. You must know that in a utilitarian world like F1, a team, especially a team like Williams, will not give a newcomer too many opportunities! Serena Williams and Michael want the kind of experienced riders who can be used right out of the box, rather than rookies who have no experience and need to be patiently trained.

After the test drive, Michael hurriedly entered the office with Serena Williams and talked for a long time behind closed doors. No one knew what the two team executives were talking about, but everyone knew that it must have something to do with Ye Feng's performance. Perhaps the Chinese kid full of miracles will soon have to face a harsh reality......
