After Barrichello finished saying this, he turned his head directly to look at Zhang Yifei who was standing beside him, and his attitude was very strong.

He wants to make this Chinese kid understand that many things are not so simple, and if he wants to challenge himself, he is not qualified enough!

Facing Barrichello's gaze, Zhang Yifei also looked directly at the past without fear. Indeed, the current Barrichello is one of the strongest drivers in the F1 paddock.

It doesn't matter if it's the car, the team, or Schumacher leading the way, Barrichello's results are here. Even if he left the Scuderia Ferrari with poor results, it was impossible to deny the consistency of his current form.

So a Chinese newcomer who dares to respond to Barrichello so strongly is indeed a big news.

The media at the scene all raised their cameras one after another, and after taking pictures of Zhang Yifei and Barrichello, they looked at each other full of gunpowder, and they could have a hunch that this photo would most likely become the front cover of tomorrow's newspapers and magazines!

After a brief post-race interview, the three team members ascended to the podium on the second floor, where the F1 Malaysian Grand Prix ceremony will take place.

At this time, more fans gathered around, along with members of the Prost team. At the same time, the No. 13 Prost car driven by Zhang Yifei was also pushed to the parking space.

In Prost's words, the top three parking areas are a kind of glory for Prost racing, how can they be absent? However, everyone knows in their hearts that the real reason why Prost is doing this is that in this position, the logos of Prost Racing's various sponsors will be better promoted.

In this way, the Prost team will have a better chance of getting a new sponsorship, after all, the opportunity to show his face on the podium is not the same as the exposure that has always been at the bottom.

Prost also has his own ambitions, wanting to run a top private F1 team on his own, just like Sir Williams. If you can, it's best if this team is of purebred French origin......

Zhang Yifei, as the third runner-up, stood on the lowest podium first, and when he waved his arm to signal to the audience, there were enthusiastic cheers below. Even some Malay-Chinese viewers who didn't help each other before couldn't help but swing their arms and let go of their voices, excited by Zhang Yifei's achievements.

It was not easy, from a country without any foundation in formula racing, step by step from Japan to Europe, won the Renault championship, the F3 Grand Prix, and finally reached the podium position in the second leg of his F1 career.

Although this is only a third place, it is dispensable for many racing powerhouses, and there is no need to celebrate and report. But for motorsport in China and even in the whole of Asia, except for the early Akuri Suzuki, who has been on the podium once, only Takuma Sato and Kobayashi Kamengwei have been on the podium.

The problem is that Takuma Sato will not be able to enter F1 until next year at the earliest, and Kobayashi Kamuwei is even more behind. Therefore, Zhang Yifei's achievement of reaching the podium is currently the second person in Asia, surpassing the 13 F1 drivers in Japanese history.

And Zhang Yifei is only 18, and there are infinite possibilities in the future, which is not comparable to Akuri Suzuki at the beginning. It is conceivable that as long as Zhang Yifei does not have any major problems, he is definitely the future superstar driver of Asia, and even has the possibility of sprinting to the top drivers in the world.

"Kossel, when you were at McLaren, you chose to be in Senna's strategy team. As a result, I didn't expect that it would be almost ten years since I left F1, and I could still find such a potential driver as Fei, sometimes I have to admire your vision. ”

Looking at Zhang Yifei, who was enjoying the cheers on the podium, Prost in the audience said a word to Cosell beside him.

To be honest, the two of them belonged to the kind that didn't deal with each other at all, and Korsell belonged to Senna's camp. It's just that times have changed now, and looking back at many of Kossel's choices, Senna's radical style has already made him a god.

Of course, this does not mean that Prost thinks that he lost to Senna that year, the confidence of the quadruple champion, and the strength to beat Senna to win the championship in the last season, are the proud capital of Prost.

No one dared to say that Prost lost the competition to Senna that year. It's just that his driving style is too conservative and not intense enough, and he is not very pleasing in the eyes of the audience and fans.

This is very similar to the later boxing superstar Mayweather, in a sense, Mayweather has surpassed Tyson in terms of value, appearance fee, and results in the same class. But this guy's boxing obscene competition has led to low reviews from all walks of life, and when people think of the boxing champion, they are still the "beast" Tyson.

Sometimes grades are not exactly the same as status and recognition.

"It's the result of his own efforts."

Korsell replied lightly, not taking the credit for himself.

He's his age, and he's quit once, and he doesn't care about these vain things.

The only thing that Cosell cares about is Zhang Yifei's hard work and fighting spirit, which makes him feel the speed and passion of the year. When the years go by, being able to warm up in the twilight of his life is what Korsell is really pursuing.

Compared with the fanaticism of supporters, in fact, most Malay Wih viewers are very indifferent. It's just that the boos and taunts at the beginning of the game are no longer there.

After all, it would be humiliating to forcibly ridicule at this time, and anyone who knows a little bit about F1 sports knows the gold content of Zhang Yifei's third place. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no longer inferior to the value of a sub-station champion.

The inevitable future F1 history, the earth-shattering counterattack of the Malaysian rain battle, will occupy a place!

After Zhang Yifei stood up, it was Barrichello who was on the runner-up podium, and he simply waved his hand twice, with a faint smile on his face.

Barrichello is used to being the runner-up, after all, most of the time, he is the second oldest in 10,000 years. It's just that today's runner-up made him not very happy, because he felt despised by the Chinese newcomers.

In fact, Barrichello's psychological quality is far less powerful than he thinks, take the famous car time as an example. Barrichello didn't say anything at the time, and later Schumacher also used his own car to repay the favor.

But this incident has always become a thorn in Barrichello's heart, and even the interview many years later, he will never forget it. And because of this incident, his relationship with Schumacher is actually not good, even if he blocked his teammates for several years and created a Ferrari dynasty together, after parting ways, he was not even an ordinary friend.

Later, when Schumacher was recuperating from a skiing accident, Barrichello also wanted to visit, but was rejected by the Schumacher family. Because they don't trust Barrichello and fear that he will expose Schumacher's state to the outside world.

I have to say that this is a kind of sadness, once stood at the top hand in hand, but in the end it is not even an ordinary friend.

Barrichello may not care about the accolades or awards of a race winner, but rather that it hurts his pride. On the surface, he is a strong man, but in fact, many people don't regard him as a strong man at all, and in his own heart, he also has a weak and inferior side.

Otherwise, other drivers like Alonso, Montoya or even Verstappen will definitely find another way to prove themselves.

Barrichello will not finally leave the Ferrari team, nor did he leave on his own initiative, but in the 06 season, he fell to the 8th place in the drivers' overall points, which can no longer meet the requirements of a top team like Ferrari, so he was cut.

So it's hard for Barrichello to be open-minded about things that he thinks humiliating, which is why he didn't have a lot of fun on the podium.

The last person to stand on the podium was naturally Schumacher, and when he stood on the winner's podium, the whole audience was like an explosion, and everyone used thunderous cries to celebrate Schumacher's re-coronation.

Sure enough, it's still Schumacher.

Listening to this kind of scream that resounded in the sky, Zhang Yifei really felt Schumacher's popularity and the gap between himself and him.

Schumacher wears a baseball cap and has his trademark grin on his long face. If you count the four races at the end of last season, Schumacher has now won his sixth race in a row!

What is dominance? That's it!

Looking at Schumacher, who was cheering on his right, that unreal feeling came back again.

I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to stand next to Schumacher and watch him stand on the highest championship position. Although this is only a small ladder gap, for Zhang Yifei, it is like an insurmountable gap, and it is really difficult to challenge Schumacher and stand in his position.

And Zhang Yifei also knows that after the real Ferrari rover comes out next season, Schumacher will reach the pinnacle of his peak, and the second-place and third-place drivers' points will not be able to compete with his championship points. In terms of individual total points, it has doubled the second-place Barrichello.

In his last life, when Zhang Yifei watched Schumacher's results and videos in 02, he thought in his heart how sad these drivers who were in the same era as him were.

The desperation of having to compete for the runner-up before the start of the race is simply unimaginable. After all, to be an F1 driver, I am absolutely proud and confident in my heart, and as a result, such an opponent will crush all my pride and self-confidence, and I don't know how to play in the 02 season!

Judging from this result, it is understandable that Barrichello is willing to be a spare tire and wingman. Maybe in his own heart, teammate Schumacher is also invincible!
