Compared to Schumacher who nodded and greeted, Helio just showed his hostility nakedly, but he was indifferent when Zhang Yifei came in, and then treated it as if it didn't exist.

Of course, Zhang Yifei's attitude towards Helio is similar, so it doesn't matter what the other party does.

There's nothing to prepare for the driver's press conference, just wait for the interview time to come, then put the baseball cap on your head and go to the media center in the front desk.

The only thing that has changed a little from last year is the pure blue Prost racing suit on his body, with some Ferrari red on it, and everything else is similar.

When the five people came out of the backstage, the flash instantly illuminated the press booth in a miserable white, and it was estimated that there were at least 100 media reporters below, at least a third more than the normal pre-game press conference.

For this kind of pre-game press conference, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as experienced, found a seat with his name written on it and sat down, and then waited for the host to introduce some features of the new season, and then the final reporter question session.

The slight difference is that this time Zhang Yifei's seat is no longer in the corner next to him, but next to Schumacher, which also represents a change in status and fame.

In fact, in theory, this kind of press conference will be controlled by a professional host, rather than a game commentator.

It's just that during the practice and qualifying sessions, the bet between Leo and Blundell was spread through the track's FM broadcast. And Leo also wanted to use this "apology" opportunity to increase his popularity, so he simply made a big fuss and served as the host of the pre-game press conference.

Leo first introduced some of the rule changes for the new season, as well as the new Singapore features, and after these were said, he did not enter the so-called "apology" session, but came to the media question session as usual.

Of course, he didn't apologize, not just because Zhang Yifei didn't care, but because almost no one cared. Since the host himself didn't mention it, the on-site media, who had been waiting for a long time, naturally couldn't wait to start asking questions.

"Hello Schumacher, I'm a reporter for the Singapore media, and you didn't get the title of the fastest car when you were in the winter test. Now in qualifying, you missed the pole position by a narrow margin, in the face of this back-to-back defeat, do you have anything to say? ”

The first question in the media interview was very poignant, pointing directly to Schumacher's recent unsatisfactory results.

Sure enough, hearing this question, the expression on Schumacher's face changed slightly, but the rich career experience still kept Schumacher in a stable mood, and he picked up the microphone and began to reply.

"It's normal to have ups and downs on the track, as long as it's the winner."

Schumacher behaved very indifferently and did not take the winter test and qualifying as the same thing. This is not a swollen face and fat man, but the result of one or two games, for a veteran like Schumacher, it is really not a problem, and it is difficult to affect his mentality.

Not to mention the winter test plus qualifying, even one or two games are not as important as the importance, how can Schumacher take it seriously?

"Do you mean by this answer that you want to show that you can be the winner in the end?"

"Of course, is there anything wrong with that?"

Schumacher asked a rhetorical question very flatly, but the strength of the quadruple winner was undoubtedly revealed.

I, Schumacher, think I'm the winner in the end, is there a problem?

This kind of momentum made the reporters in the audience feel speechless in an instant. He wanted to refute Schumacher's "arrogance", but he couldn't find a place to find faults, because in the entire F1 paddock, no one is more qualified to say this than Schumacher.

While the Singaporean reporter hesitated, another reporter seized the opportunity to ask Helio next to him.

"Helio, you joined Formula 1 as the Indy Champion of the Year, and now you have something to say about F1 champion Schumacher?"

This reporter is very good at arching fire, and directly leads the topic to Helio.

When Zhang Yifei heard this interview and question, he deliberately glanced at the press card, and the BBC logo on it made Zhang Yifei feel that it was really like this, which is worthy of the characteristics of the British Empire's-stirring stick.

Sure enough, when he heard this question, Helio couldn't wait to pick up the microphone, without the slightest awareness of being used as a gunman, and directly started fighting Schumacher: "I joined F1 to win the championship, so I'm sorry Schumacher, I want to be the final winner!" ”

Zhang Yifei has always thought that he is a relatively simple and rough character, but in the face of Helio, he often has a feeling of being willing to bow down.

This American kid really sometimes doesn't know whether he is so arrogant that he doesn't know the height of the sky, or if he has no strings in his head, anyway, he implements the sentence that the world is centered on me to the extreme, which is perfectly in line with the American imperialist style of the world boss.

Schumacher, who was relatively indifferent before, finally changed his face after hearing Helio's words. It's been a long time since anyone has dared to provoke in front of themselves, let alone a newcomer to the F1 track.

"Do you have what it takes to be the winner?"

Schumacher's temper also came up, and he began to speak unceremoniously, and the identity of the first person in F1 is not yet the turn of an Indian champion to challenge!

Faced with this sentence, Helio did not jump like thunder as he imagined, but replied with a cold smile on his face: "I came to the F1 paddock to win you." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked past Schumacher and looked at Zhang Yifei on the other side.

"And fly!"

Originally, Zhang Yifei was in a lively state of mind, after all, this kind of frontal scene of just Schumacher, in the entire F1 paddock, it is estimated that no one has this confidence and confidence. Including Zhang Yifei himself, even if he wants to defeat Schumacher, he will not be arrogant to such a point.

Only an Indian madman like Helio can stage such a plot, but he didn't expect to be so quick and aim the gun at himself.

Originally, the reporters had already achieved their goal by triggering Helio to provoke Schumacher, but they didn't expect this American kid to open fire in all directions and directly pull the arrogant Chinese kid into the water.

In an instant, a reporter seized the opportunity and directly aimed the microphone at Zhang Yifei.

"Hey Fei, I'm the editor of the car magazine, and Helio sees you as the main rival in the F1 paddock, what do you think of that?"

"Normally, the weak always need to find a strong person and see him as their own challenge target."

When Zhang Yifei said this, many Southeast Asian reporters who participated in the F1 pre-race press conference for the first time couldn't help but let out an exclamation. Especially the reporters who are more familiar with China, such as Xinmatai and Tai, did not expect Zhang Yifei to be so arrogant, and did not take the Indy world champion in his eyes at all.

Even if they have seen reports on Zhang Yifei's arrogance from many news media, when they experience this scene in person, they still have a feeling of subverting the worldview.

This is not just a matter of personal character, but a Chinese driver can actually belittle an Indy world champion in the world's top F1 paddock, while others are very accustomed to accepting it!

This feeling is similar to the feeling that Chinese players go to the five major leagues and say that Messi and Ronaldo challenge themselves and challenge a strong man.

Is the Chinese driver Fei really strong enough in the F1 paddock?

In the face of Zhang Yifei's contemptuous response, he did not put himself in the position of an opponent of the same level at all, and the humiliation that Helio felt was far stronger than Schumacher's response before!

I saw that at this time, Helio stood up suddenly, pointed directly at Zhang Yifei and said, "Who do you say is weak!" ”

"Is there anything wrong with saying you're weak?"

Zhang Yifei replied unceremoniously, what qualifications do the defeated generals have to be arrogant in front of him?

In the Indy paddock, Helio can be described as the pride of the sky, and he is praised by all aspects, and even those seniors who are also world champions have often chosen to regress in the face of Helio's results.

As a result, I didn't expect that the first opening race press conference of the new F1 season was humiliated by Schumacher and Zhang Yifei repeatedly, which simply trampled Helio's pride and arrogance to the ground!

In an instant, Helio had a feeling of losing his mind, like a bear child who had been robbed of a toy, and walked towards Zhang Yifei to prepare a theory.

Seeing Helio's actions, Zhang Yifei still thought about this American kid, could he want to fight with himself at the opening conference in front of so many media?

Although Zhang Yifei didn't want to make things happen at the opening conference, if Helio had the idea of fighting, then he would definitely let the American kid feel what it was like to have an iron fist of communism.

Just when Zhang Yifei was about to get up to "fight", Helio was stopped by the FIA and the team staff, and in order to prevent him from acting aggressively again, he was dragged directly to the backstage.

In an instant, the interview of five people became a stage for four people.

This kind of conflict at the press conference is a rather embarrassing thing for the organizers and the FIA. But for the reporters on the spot, it was big news, and there was a news hotspot before the game.

So another reporter in the audience asked: "Fei, it seems that you are very confident in your strength, so in today's opening game, are you interested in challenging the final winner's position?" ”

Sure enough, when this question was asked, all kinds of cameras were aimed at Zhang Yifei, and even Schumacher, who was sitting next to him, looked at him.

I saw that Zhang Yifei had a faint smile on his face at this moment, and he was not affected by the previous provocation by Helio.

He picked up the microphone in his hand, looked directly into the eyes of Schumacher next to him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to win this game." ”
