"Mr. Zhang Yifei, as the first Chinese driver to win the F3 pole position title in the Grand Prix, are you confident of winning the championship this time?"

"I have absolute confidence to keep this championship in China!"

Zhang Yifei faced the reporter's question and replied categorically, no matter how strong the opponent is, this championship must be won.

Because he only has this chance to participate in the Grand Prix, if he doesn't get it, there will be no Chinese driver who will win this title for the next 20 years.

Think about the formula race in your own country, where the podium is full of foreigners, and the Chinese drivers can't even be spectators, what is it like?

"Fei, I'm a BBC correspondent on Hong Kong Island, and yesterday we interviewed two F3 champions in Japan, and they think that the lap time of qualifying is not their limit, and they can easily surpass your fastest lap in the race, what do you want to respond to this statement?"

"Do they really say that?"

Zhang Yifei did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically, after all, Britain has the title of a-stirring stick in Europe, and the BBC is not a good stubble, he doesn't want to be used as a gun by the other party.

“YES。”

The BBC reporter gave a direct affirmative reply.

It's a bit arrogant, Zhang Yifei has more contact with Yamamoto Ukyo, and he has almost formed an inherent impression of the Japanese, that is, they are more conservative and low-key.

But think about it, to become a championship-level formula driver, you basically can't find two low-key people who recognize it, and they all have a kind of hard work and blood in their bones.

Takuma Sato and Iide Yuji are two people, and the F1 paddock has the title of "torpedo".

The so-called torpedo is that the driving style is very wild, and in a sense, it can also be said to be a dish! In the process of catching up with the car in front, I don't know if it's super or not, anyway, let's talk about it with a foot of floor oil first.

There is really no way to overtake, and there is no technology to change lanes and slow down, so simply aim at the car in front of you, and this kind of driver is called "torpedo".

The most famous "torpedo" driver of later generations was the Red Bull driver Kvyat from Russia, who simply implemented the Russian fighting style on the track and was known for his precise "guidance".

Even in less than a minute of a race, he rear-ended Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel twice!

You must know that with the strength of an F1 driver, it is possible to crash due to cornering, but rear-end collisions on the straight are quite rare, let alone two consecutive times, knocking the opponent off the track.

At that time, Ferrari driver Vettel, the exposed voice of the team, was really a kind of cordial "greeting", and he could feel the grievance and anger in his heart.

Since then, Kvyat has received the title of "torpedo".

When Sato Takuma was in the past few years, the "torpedo" style was not inferior to later Kvyat, which can be described as punching Schumacher and kicking Alonso.

The style of the race was very aggressive, and the technology was a little poor at the time, and the car was terrible. At every turn, the engine failed to blow, and then there were all kinds of mysterious operations, and the drivers who ran with him were unlucky.

The most famous is the 2005 Belgian race, when Schumacher, who had already won the seventh championship at the time, was directly rear-ended by Takuma Sato on the track.

After getting out of the car, Schumacher couldn't help it, and rushed to the front of Sato Takuma to reason with him despite the time when he was still racing on the track, and even gave Sato Takuma a slap on the helmet, which also achieved his name for his "suicidal" stance.

Not to mention Yuji Ide, if Sato Takuma can be described as aggressive and wild, then he is a pure dish!

After all, other drivers are still controllable "torpedoes", this kid is a time bomb on the track, and no one knows when he will explode.

This sword of Damocles above his head, Iide Yuji became the "public enemy of the track" and was collectively boycotted by the team and the drivers. In the end, he ran four F1 races, and even his driver's license was directly revoked.

However, whether they are aggressive or dish, at least these two Japanese drivers are really not intimidated on the European circuit and have full confidence in themselves.

Now the two of them happen to be in the rising stage of their careers, especially Takuma Sato, who has been in the limelight for a while, and is regarded as an inspirational role model by Asian drivers, so naturally they have absolute self-confidence, and it is not surprising that they said such words in the face of BBC reporters.

"My lap times weren't that easy to beat because I only used 80% of my strength in qualifying."

Zhang Yifei replied with a faint smile on his face.

As he became more and more famous, Zhang Yifei felt that he had been quite low-key during this time, and he generally did not show any arrogant image.

But this does not mean that Zhang Yifei has become a "good gentleman", someone dares to challenge himself with his face, that is absolutely welcome!

"Really? So if you use your extreme tententh strength in the race, how fast will it be? ”

The BBC reporter asked in a slightly flirtatious tone, obviously not believing Zhang Yifei's words.

"Ten percent of the limit? I'm sorry, but my limit is 12 percent! ”

Zhang Yifei replied arrogantly, and he didn't see any withdrawal or lack of confidence in him.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei's words were broadcast to the big screen of the track through the cameraman on the scene, and the audience heard Zhang Yifei's answer.

"Cool! In particular, I have never seen a Chinese driver on a formula track who dares to speak like this. ”

"If you have the strength, you can really do whatever you want, I'm afraid that Zhang Yifei dares to say that his limit is twelve."

"That's right, he has the qualifications to say such a thing, if he feels unconvinced, he will outperform him in advance!"

The spectators in the stands, especially the fans from the mainland, felt a sense of refreshment to break through the shackles!

After all, Chinese athletes in this era are generally relatively low-key and dare not speak. When faced with an interview with a foreign reporter, even with a provocative taste, he either smiled and didn't care about the other party, or he just pretended to be stupid and didn't understand, and talked a lot to avoid embarrassment.

These two behaviors are generous when they are good, and cowardice when they are bad.

Now that a Chinese driver like Zhang Yifei has appeared, he can respond so hardly, and he naturally feels happy in his chest!

The BBC reporter did an interview and knew that Zhang Yifei was different from ordinary Chinese athletes, so he was not surprised by this answer.

Just as the BBC reporter wanted to continue the interview, the whistle sounded on the track, and the unrelated personnel began to evacuate, and the last F3 race of the Grand Prix was about to begin.

"The answer is very confident, wait a minute, let me see your 120% strength."

After Korcel saw the reporter leave, he stood next to Zhang Yifei's car and said lightly.

The old man in Germany is getting more and more fond of doing things now!

Zhang Yifei muttered in his heart, Twelve percent of the strength of this kind of blatant nonsense, Korsell actually used it to tease himself.

"They don't need my twelve points of strength, it's enough to deal with ten percent first!"

Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Cosell actually smiled at the corner of his mouth, he understood the meaning of Zhang Yifei's words, that is, he would use his full strength.

The race engineer is the driver's closest comrade-in-arms and partner, even beyond the team's teammate level, and there is enough tacit understanding between Korsell and Zhang Yifei.

The second whistle sounded, and there were only twenty race riders left in the pit lane.

On the right side of Zhang Yifei is the Japanese F3 champion Takuma Sato, who looked at him differently from Zhang Yifei in the qualifying race, this time his eyes were locked on Zhang Yifei.

Because Takuma Sato knows in his heart that qualifying can be called his extreme performance, and his F3 experience far surpasses Zhang Yifei, a "rookie" driver who has only run Renault events.

But that's it, he hasn't even gotten pole position yet, whether it's the fastest lap or the total lap time, he hasn't caught up with Zhang Yifei.

Knowing that the Chinese driver completed the "triple jump" and entered F1, Sato Takuma was a little unconvinced.

Yesterday's game taught him that F1 teams may not be able to see where a driver's ceiling is, but they definitely have a standard for what they can do. Zhang Yifei's strength really can't be seen from the perspective of a Renault junior driver, it's really a bit strong.

I heard that his formula racing career started at the Toyota Academy Base, and he also ran that track himself. What kind of talent does it take to have a talented driver like Zhang Yifei?

However, at this point in time, there was no chance for Sato Takum to figure out this problem, and the lights on the track began to light up, and all the drivers were ready to start, striving not to be left behind in the starting stage.

As the pole sitter of this year, Zhang Yifei is naturally the target of everyone, not only Takuma Sato's eyes on him. In line with Zhang Yifei's driver is the local F3 driver Gao Gao on the island, who also wants to win the Grand Prix.

Although he does not have a sense of Chinese identity, he has a high degree of identity with the people of Aodao, which is his native hometown.

In the same decades, no local driver has won the Grand Prix.

Gao Gao's steady performance in recent years has been regarded as a strong contender for the championship of this year's Grand Prix. If it weren't for Zhang Yifei's appearance, all the opportunities to make history would be placed on the high level, and he would be the real home focus of Ao Island.

Before qualifying, the attention of the high degree of attention on the Guia Circuit was comparable to Zhang Yifei. But as Zhang Yifei got the pole position, there was only one home player left, and the aura was shrouded in Zhang Yifei's body.

For this, Gao Gao has no idea in his heart, it is impossible. This was supposed to be his stage, but the protagonist was replaced by someone else.

Therefore, Gao also made up his mind in his heart that he must surpass Zhang Yifei and let the audience understand whose home is here today!

The Italian F3 champion Paolo Mudian and the fifth-ranked Japanese F3 champion Iide Arimashi are surprisingly unanimous, and they both regard surpassing Zhang Yifei as their primary goal.

The five indicator lights went out instantly, and the roar of the engine frantically increasing its speed resounded in the sky.

The 20 drivers on the track rushed out like arrows from the string and began to compete for the highest honor on the Guia Circuit!
