Chapter 035: Questioning and Confidence
"What's wrong with you?" Josson interrupted Seren's trance.
"Well, your talent, I've never seen it before. "Seren told the truth.
Qiao Sen likes this honest communication method of this foreign young lady very much, she will not deliberately hide her thoughts, love and hate clearly, and tell the truth.
"It seems that I was the first in today's practice match. Well, I should be able to come on as a substitute for Martin. Starting tomorrow, I think I should practice with York. Jossen was also very excited, and the next step was a practice session for the two drivers to train together, and in the race the two drivers still had to work together to ensure that at least one driver would be at the top of the rankings and get points.
Seren felt like she was shooting herself in the foot, but she didn't hate Jossen, after all, he had helped her solve her long-standing physical problems, and it was his own hard work and true skills that surpassed her.
Sometimes Seren once suspected that Qiao Sen had deceived him, obviously his driving skills were very good, but he just said that he had forgotten, but the set of boxing skills he taught himself was really effective, and today she successfully completed the game without physical problems!
But there were some details that Seren could still see that he had really forgotten, and he didn't even know what the various instruments in the car were for, and he also taught her all over again. Maybe he had learned it before, and his driving skills were very good, but he really just forgot it for some reason, and then under his own reminder, he quickly remembered it.
"You can practice if you want. Seren asked curiously, "Don't you feel tired?"
Since that day, the man has been training from six o'clock in the morning until ten o'clock in the evening, spending almost sixteen hours in the car in the day. People watching from the side would feel tired, but he was able to get out of the car in good spirits every time, and he couldn't see the feeling of fatigue at all.
"Well, it's okay, I'm in good health, if you have the chance, you'll find out if you try it. Jossen's charming smile and sultry words in his mouth were heartwarming.
Selen's face was slightly red, his big blue eyes secretly glanced at Qiao Sen's tall body, pursed his lips and said, "Wait until you win the championship of the sub-station!" set a big obstacle for him, a test driver is participating for the first time, it is good to have a position, and he wants to win the championship of the sub-race?
Well, if you really get it, it might be good to have a pleasant night with him and feel the charm of an oriental man. Seren thought about it, and his face turned a little red again.
Not far away, a pair of jealous and angry eyes stared at the two, Wilder is a senior technician of the team, specializing in the maintenance of the team's cars, and has always liked Seren, but several confessions have been rejected by Selen.
At first, Seren was Josen's coach, and Wilder didn't feel anything, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, Josen, an Oriental boy, actually showed amazing talent in racing, and Seren loves motorsports and admires racing powerhouses.
But Wilder has no choice, Jossen is already an official driver of the team after today's practice session, and he is so talented and young and handsome, it seems reasonable for Salen to like him.
Sure enough, after all the test drivers had completed the practice session, head coach Colt officially announced that Jossen had the first result, and the kid was actually as many as 25 seconds ahead of second-place Seren, almost catching up with the best time at Silverstone this year.
When he learned the final results, Colt was also distracted for a while, could it be that his years of experience judgment on this Oriental boy was invalid?
Watching the practice match, Side was very happy, this Oriental boy gave himself a huge surprise, according to this result, the following events have to fight!
Later, Stead announced in public that Jossen had been replaced by the official driver and completed the next three races for the team.
After the announcement, Colt arranged for Jossen to train with York tomorrow and work with the entire technical team, and after a few days of training, the whole team flew to Australia to get used to the venue and practice on the field.
After the team owner's announcement, Jossen didn't seem to be very excited, and strangely, Salen didn't feel any frustration either, perhaps Salen also hoped that the team could get better results.
Two days later, Avik Racing flew to Australia for the 17th round of this year's F1 race at Albert Park!
In a shocking announcement before the race, the team's main driver Martin withdrew from the rest of the race after suffering a recurrence of an old neck injury after race 16, and the team test driver of the Avik team, China's Qiao Sen from the East, was replaced by Jossen, who joined York in the final three races.
As soon as the news came out, the Chinese media cheered, after so many years, there are finally Chinese drivers on the F1 race, and in the top events of world racing, there are finally Chinese!
However, the foreign media reflected that it was flat, the reason is very simple, Qiao Sen is too young, and there are no outstanding results in other races in the past, and the best result is only the third place in the A1 Grand Prix.
Therefore, the foreign media's evaluation of the driver replacement of the Avik team is extremely bitter.
"The owner of the team team, Sed Ivek, will completely destroy the glory of the team of Avik. ”
"An inexperienced Chinese driver would rather see the more technical Seren Emma replaced, a female driver will perform better than this Chinese driver. ”
Ivik's season has not been smooth, with Baumar gone, Martin retiring with an injury, 35 points behind first-place Seidemes, and it looked like team owner Sd was going to hand over his father's old knight's legacy to the British government. ”
Although the domestic media was excited about Qiao Sen's replacement, most of them remained calm.
"The significance of Jossen's replacement is not about the team, it's about himself, and he needs to accumulate more experience. ”
"Jossen won't be much of a help for the team's results, but he's only 25 years old and he still has a long way to go, so Avik Racing may be preparing for the development of key drivers in the future. ”
"Jossen's substitution has given F1 a Chinese presence, but hopefully he can play as best he can. ”
No one is optimistic about Jossen, but the team is optimistic.
Team boss Stead said: "My most successful deal of the year was the signing of Jossen. ”
Team manager Colt said: "You will see Jossen's skills in qualifying, and he will fight back head-on with those who question and mock him!"
Jock Bruz, the main driver of the Avik team: "Jossen is a very good driver and he and I will definitely be able to get a better place for the team. Next season I hope I won't be too far behind him!"
But the die-hard fans of the Avik team didn't buy it, they just questioned Jossen's ability and questioned the ability of the team owner Ste!
"When the old jazz handed over the team to Ste, the team was the best in the world. Now, in just two years, the team has lost the championship for two consecutive years, so much so that when the old jazz died at the beginning of the year, he made a will, and if Ste could not lead the team to win the championship this year, he would hand over the team and his legacy to the British government. Now it seems that the old knight's will is very wise, and when Sed chose Joeson as the substitute driver, he had already given up this year's title race!"
"Who is Jossen? It's better to use the team's beautiful driver Seren Emma!"
"Ste get out of the convoy, Jossen get out of the convoy!"
The doubts of die-hard fans put a lot of pressure on Ste and the team!
Friday's practice session was all about getting acquainted with the track and tuning the car, and the team's other test drivers also had the opportunity to participate. Jossen didn't have much of a standout performance in practice sessions, and he wasn't even as fast as the team's female driver, Seren.
This was a bit of a disappointment for the Chinese media who rushed to Australia to interview him, but after the race, they were given the opportunity to visit Jossen on his own with the team's permission.
"Jossen, as the first Chinese to be on the F1 stage, do you have anything to say?"
It's really a thousand-year-old question, Qiao Sen frowned slightly but still said politely: "The team needs me to improve the results now, so I came here." After the official competition, I think we should be able to play the national anthem at the Australian race. ”
The reporters were taken aback, this is too confident, but where does his confidence come from?
"You mean, you can win in Australia and then play the national anthem of your country? ”
Qiao Sen shrugged and said: "It's just a practice race, I'm just driving slowly to get familiar with the track and road conditions, what's the use of winning a hundred first places in a practice race?"
"Lately, the team's die-hard fans seem to be skeptical of you very loudly, is there anything you would like to say?"
"They also care about the team's performance, and I believe that after this race, they will change their opinion of me, and I believe that I can help the team achieve a comeback and win this year's championship!
Saturday afternoon qualifying at Albert Park Circuit, Melbourne, Australia.
The roar of the cars, the shouts of the spectators, the hustle and bustle of the entire arena. Qualifying will determine the starting position at the start of the race.
If you can qualify first and take the first pole position, it will be of great help to the rest of the race.
The pit lane door opened, and many drivers came to the track one after another, and began to brush laps in Q1 one after another.
Bulls' Aaron was the first driver to qualify, but the lap time of 1 minute and 40 seconds was clearly not normal. Albert Park's best record was 1:23.529, and the Spaniard's lap time was significantly worse.
Fourth-placed Lifala Racing driver Sebastian Vettel took to the field on supersoft tyres, and he holds the record for the best lap at Albert Park. The German driver did not disappoint, running a direct 1:25.553 to take the lead.
Behind him was Bulls' Baumar with a time of 1:26.003. Aron quickly improved his lap time to 1:27.745.
There were 10 drivers running the race for the time being, with Ivek's Yorke in 10th.
Soon Jossen came out, he also used very soft tyres, and when the car took to the track, his car with its red car quickly caught people's attention!
