"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, your Tianming team won the first championship. In the stands, the president of the FIA, Paul, stood up and said to Zhou Jingming with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Zhou Jingming responded with a smile. Schumacher was able to win the championship this time, not only his personal honor, but also the honor of the entire Tianming team, and Zhou Jingming was naturally happy in his heart.

"The award ceremony is coming soon, so I won't talk to Mr. Zhou, we will have a dinner party in the evening, and I will invite Mr. Zhou to participate in it. Paul continued.

"Okay, then I won't bother Mr. President, we will definitely attend the dinner in the evening. Zhou Jingming responded.

After Paul left, He Yingxun behind Zhou Jingming was finally released, hugged Zhou Jingming from behind, and said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, the champion!

"In the last few laps, my heart was pounding, and I felt like I was out of breath. Xu Weidong also hugged Zhou Jingming from the other side and said.

"I'll just say, there is nothing bad about the engine developed by our powertrain, have you seen it, what Ferrari and McLaren, haven't we left behind?" Wang Yuanchao on the side also said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Alright, don't bother and act like you've won the championship, let's go, let's go to the team. Zhao Ke, who had not spoken, also said with a smile.

"Let's go, if you don't go to the awards ceremony, it will have to begin. Zhou Jingming also said.

Under the leadership of Zhou Jingming, several people soon came to the maintenance area, and Schumacher saw Zhou Jingming coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Chairman, fortunately, the first championship has been won for you." ”

"Good work. Zhou Jingming patted Schumacher on the shoulder, "Congratulations on winning your first championship in the Tianming team." ”

"I promised the chairman that I would win this championship, and I will continue to work hard to win my third world championship and the first world championship of Tianming Racing Team!" Schumacher said confidently. After this race, Schumacher's confidence in himself and the car is growing.

After chatting for a few minutes, the organizing committee had already informed Schumacher and others to prepare to receive the award.

At half past four in the afternoon local time in Melbourne, the award ceremony of the Australian race was officially held at Albert Park, and FIA President Paul personally presented the medal to Schumacher, the champion of this race.

So far, Schumacher has successfully won his first title of the season, and his personal points have also reached 10, while Hakkinen, who finished second, and Kuta, who finished third, won 6 and 4 points respectively.

In addition, in the constructors' standings, because Fei Xiaotian contributed a valuable point, plus Schumacher's 10 points, so Tianming Racing is currently in first place with 11 points, while McLaren Racing Team, because the second and third places are McLaren Racing, so McLaren Racing currently has 10 points, temporarily second.

As for the Ferrari team, due to the accident of Barrichello, the new driver Kane only finished 10th, so the current Ferrari team does not have a single point.

On top of that, Williams and Benetton are tied for third with three points, with none of the remaining teams earning points.

In this way, the Tianming team can be said to be the biggest winner in the Australian Grand Prix this time, and the first place in the drivers' and team's points standings is all Tianming team!

Such a result is a miracle for the Tianming team, which is participating in the F1 championship for the first time.

At half past seven in the evening, the FIA held a dinner in the local area, inviting all the drivers and the main leaders of the team to attend, Zhou Jingming and Zhao Ke and others were also invited.

After Paul's speech, the dinner began. Considering that there will be a new competition in two weeks, this time the dinner is only limited to drinks, and on the side of the Tianming team, naturally everyone is sitting together, He Yingxun and Xu Weidong have an active atmosphere, and the whole dinner scene is the most lively here.

"Is it Chairman Zhou?" Just as a group of people were eating and chatting, a voice sounded behind Zhou Jingming.

"Who are you?" Zhou Jingming looked back, but it was a man with tan hair and about fifty years old, standing there with a wine glass in his hand.

"Hello Chairman Zhou, I'm Theon, the chairman of the Benetton team, I don't know if it's convenient to disturb now?" the man said apologetically.

"It turned out to be Mr. Theon, the chairman of the Benetton team, I don't know what you are looking for me?" Zhou Jingming stood up and asked with a smile.

"We, the Benetton team, want to purchase your Tianming Group's engine units in next year's F1 Championship, I don't know if it's okay?" Theon said quickly.

This season, the Benetton team used the engine unit provided by Ferrari, and Theon, like many people, was initially dismissive of the engine unit of the Tianming Group, so when considering the engine configuration, the Tianming Group was not considered at all.

But in yesterday's qualifying session and today's points race, Schumacher's TM2000 car almost beat teams like McLaren and Ferrari in terms of performance, and the engine unit must have played a major role.

Therefore, after discussing with the team's engineers, Theon decided that the team would purchase the engines provided by Tianming Group next year!

"Of course, as an engine supplier to F1, every team in Tianming Group can purchase our engine units. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

"Then this matter is settled, and I will continue to discuss the specific matters with Mr. Zhou in the future. Hearing this, Theon raised the wine glass in his hand slightly, and responded with a smile.

"I didn't expect that at this time, our engine unit would become a sweet tooth. Xu Weidong said with a smile.

Theon uses English, and there are only two people in the Tianming team who can understand English proficiently, Xu Weidong and Zhou Jingming.

"Which team is that person going to purchase an engine unit from us just now?" Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

Since becoming an F1 engine supplier, Wang Yuanchao has not received any purchase orders, which has made him very angry in his heart, feeling that these people are too ignorant of goods, and now that the first stop of the race has just begun, someone has come to book next year's engine installation, Wang Yuanchao feels that it is finally very happy.

"The Benetton team would like to purchase our engine units next year. Zhou Jingming replied. According to FIA regulations, it is not allowed to change engine suppliers during the season.

"The Benetton team is using Ferrari engines right now, and if we do change to our engine next year, then we will dig hard in Ferrari's heart!" Jonathan couldn't help but say.

First the team's leading driver has been poached, and now even the engine procurement customers have been poached, and the Ferrari team has to be angry?
