Chapter 31 Meeting with Ferrari

"Mom, actually the college said that basically I don't have to go to class, because I don't have to take the final exam."

Yang Hao said to his mother before going to bed.

"You should go until the end of this year's exam, after all, you will leave with the team in the future."

"Ok."

"It's good for you to feel more about the school life."

The next days at school were actually very boring, and I could only brag and chat with the technicians.

Because children of average talent are about to go on vacation.

"Seriously, Yang, which team would you most like to join?"

"Ferrari."

"Honestly, I prefer Williams."

"If I had to choose, I would definitely not choose Ferrari."

"why?"

"A team that was built entirely on funding."

"Then isn't F1 just throwing money away?" Yang Hao was rather puzzled.

"Although it is a waste of money, for us, we prefer to see civilian drivers driving civilian racing cars to defeat powerful established capital."

"It seems that the technician likes Senna very much."

"Ask anyone in the industry who doesn't like Senna. It's a god that a person can perform [-]% of a civilian car."

"Can you imagine cornering in fifth gear? Have you ever seen a race in the rain without slowing down?"

"But I don't recommend you to join the Lotus team. There are capitalists there. And their debt problem is getting worse. Although it is just adding Pacific. But in my opinion, the Lotus team is not worth it."

"What team does the mechanic want me to join?"

"Of course it's Williams. It's a local brand after all and you know you're famous in the UK and not in Europe."

"And I never doubted your ability to enter F1. On the contrary, if you are British, I might worry."

"And your football is also very good. Many Premier League teams have sent scouts to investigate."

"I will accept your proposal, but Williams did not give me an actual promise. At present, only Benetton has given me a promise to sponsor me to sign with me after qualifying for the European Youth Championship."

"Benetton? To be honest, I don't like it either. If it weren't for the money given to the Lotus team, Senna could go to Benetton?"

The technician scoffed at Benetton.

"And they're not even willing to recruit British drivers."

"Lewis won the championship in Monaco, and his next stop seems to be Holland or somewhere. This kid really started to soar after he got into McLaren." in and out.)
Suddenly the technician mentioned Lewis who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Has Lewis already started playing in European competition at the age of ten?It seems that the gap between me and him is getting bigger and bigger.

Yang Hao couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

"Yang, don't be so depressed. I know your strength. If you started learning to drive at the age of eight like him, I think you will enter F3 faster than him."

Another day of school has passed while chatting and training.

Mother came late today, which is rare. "The house was being renovated in the afternoon, and the workers just left."

"Has the piano been delivered?"

"The piano is still two or three days away."

After returning home, I hurriedly changed my clothes, took a taxi and went to another cafe in a hurry.

There was no one in this cafe, but it was very high-end, and there was a player playing the piano.

I can't hear what it's playing.

"You have an appointment, Mr. Todd."

"Okay, come with me."

The cafe is very large, and there is a special private room when you walk inside.

A bedroom sized room.A slightly fat man was already sitting inside.

He looked at the mother and daughter with a smile.

"Hello." He greeted first in French.

Mother was taken aback for a moment, but she also replied hello in French.

"Remember me, little guy." The man smiled and patted Yang Hao's head.

"Remember, you gave me your business card that day."

"Yes."

"Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that day. I came to observe another driver, the one who was squeezed out by Yang. He let me see Yang's control of the kart."

"Let me introduce myself officially, my name is Jean Todt, Ferrari's current youth training manager and team manager."

What the mother and son didn't know was that the man opposite was the famous Ferrari godfather and the future president of the FIA.

Why is it called the Godfather of Ferrari, because of his reason Ferrari recruited two important figures to revive Ferrari, Schumacher and Irvine.

And there is also a meritorious technical director Brown.

Ferrari has been a strong contender for the constructors' title during his time as team manager.

"However, Ferrari's current drivers I think are enough for Ferrari to compete for four to five years or even longer."

Mother was the first to open the chatter box.

"Madame understands right, but if Ferrari wants to win the championship all the time, then he also needs a good youth training system and able to have young drivers to compete."

"Then, I would like to ask Manager Todt, will you recruit Schumacher in the future?"

Yang Hao's intervention made the two people look over at the same time.

"Schumacher? He has always been the subject of our investigation, but before him we investigated more Senna and Damon Hill."

Todd gives an unreserved answer to all questions.

"So, sir, my child is still young and he has only won two championships. I wonder if you have any concerns."

"I don't have any worries. Youth training is always a gambling game, but Yang's driving skills let me see the infinite possibilities in him."

"But I heard that you have already met people from Benetton and Williams. Why didn't you sign with them? They are also very competitive teams."

"Because my kids prefer Ferraris."

"Oh? Can you tell me why you like Ferrari?" Todd turned his head and looked at Yang Hao.

Yang Hao can't say it's because Schumacher is a famous Ferrari.

"I think I prefer a team that has historical roots and is more competitive for the championship." Yang Hao began to make up nonsense.

"It's not wrong to say so, but there are Mercedes-Benz just like us."

"Mercedes-Benz is not as famous as Ferrari."

That made Todd laugh.

"That looks like things are moving in our favour."

"Can you talk about what commitments they gave? I think we'll match up."

Todd clenched his hands into fists as if winning.

"They all need to see that my kid can qualify for the European Championships before signing."

"Well, it's normal. After all, we also have such concerns."

"So, I think what we can give Yang Hao is that if Yang Hao can qualify for the max group in the next competition, then we will sign the contract."

"Then after signing the contract, how can I guarantee my child's training or racing?"

"All this is borne by the Ferrari team. As long as you join Ferrari, all drivers will be treated equally. We will only decide whether to renew his contract or let him enter the reserve team based on the final results."

"I think Ma'am should feel enough about our commitment." Todd finished speaking and looked at the mother and son.

"Then we need to discuss it."

"Okay, I just need to go to the bathroom."

Todd walked out of the room very politely.
