Hearing Barrichello's voice, Zhang Yifei glanced back at him, although Barrichello was not seriously injured at this moment, he was also discouraged and had a heavy expression.

After all, there is no deep hatred between him and Alessi, they are nothing more than opponents competing on the track, and after a few years of running, even if they are not very familiar, at least they are not strangers.

This serious accident was not a scene he wanted to see in his heart, so his apology was sincere.

"You don't have to tell me I'm sorry."

"I'm not telling you, I'm hoping you can convey it to Alessi."

"You don't have to say sorry to him."

Zhang Yifei replied lightly, just as he thought before, the greatest respect given to the opponent on the track is to go all out to defeat the opponent!

Unlike some malicious crashes, Barrichello and Alessi were both a little uphead just now, grabbing the line too fast, causing them to eventually lose control and crash together.

This kind of track accident happens in every F1 race, but the severity is different. If you can't even accept this risk and injury, you don't deserve to be an F1 driver, and you can't stand on the stage of the world's top cars.

Even if this incident happened to Zhang Yifei himself, he would not blame Barrichello for this, the risk during the race itself contained a crash.

Listening to Zhang Yifei's answer, Barrichello didn't say much, let alone be hypocritical because of it. He is also a top driver, these truths do not need to be said by Zhang Yifei, he understands them better than the other party.

So Barrichello nodded, then followed the arrangement of the ambulance staff, got into another ambulance, and went to the hospital for a check-up.

It was at this time that the members of the Prost crew rushed over, and the team of maintenance technicians helped the track staff extinguish the fire, and quickly pushed Zhang Yifei's No. 13 car away from the No. 14 car on fire.

Although the 2000 season is over and the next season will be replaced with a newer AP05 car, the JS53 series is still a testament to the team's history and will be housed in the Prost Headquarters Museum.

Just like the Ferrari Car Museum, if Prost can one day rise to become one of the world's top teams, or even develop its own supercar like McLaren, then these old cars represent the essence of a team.

Not to mention the current JS53 series of cars, have been hit by Zhang Yifei almost, the current No. 13 is the last prototype transformation, if it can't be preserved, then the Prost racing model will have a fault, which is a pity for the team.

Henry and Alessi's race engineer Cod, who didn't have time to say hello to Zhang Yifei, got into the ambulance directly and went to the hospital to deal with the follow-up matters together.

Instead of following, Korsell walked to Zhang Yifei's side and said to him, "You did a good job." ”

This sentence undoubtedly affirmed Zhang Yifei's move to give up the game and save his teammates. After all, when Senna stopped to rescue Camas, Korsell was one of the witnesses, and there was no teammate relationship, but an opponent.

Rather than winning, Korsell also values a driver's humanity and "chivalry" spirit.

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

Zhang Yifei didn't feel how proud or proud it was to stop to save Alessi.

On the contrary, if he does not do it, it will be a shame and shame!

"Well, you go back to the pit station to rest first, and we'll take care of the rest of the matter."

Korcel is not a hypocritical person, so he will not praise anything too much because of this matter. After reminding Zhang Yifei, he went to the chief technician Charlie to coordinate the handling of the accident car problem.

However, Zhang Yifei did not return to the pit for the first time, but stood in the buffer zone of the track, watching the F1 cars whizzing past him.

Because of the accident, the track referee has shown a double yellow flag, which is still because the accident cars have rushed into the buffer zone, which did not affect the normal operation of the race. And Zhang Yifei moved fast enough to drag Alessi away from the burning car as soon as possible, otherwise the red flag would have been lit up by now and the game was over in advance.

Although the game is not over, for Zhang Yifei, his rookie season is over at this moment.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei once imagined countless possibilities, but he never imagined that he would end his rookie season journey in this way.

In the end, he didn't stage a wonderful showdown with Schumacher, the big devil, at the Suzuka Circuit, and Zhang Yifei still felt a little regretful in his heart. However, he has no regrets, because he believes that he will be faster and stronger next season!

At that time, Schumacher will usher in a really strong opponent, not a rookie driver!

Turning around with mixed feelings, Zhang Yifei walked towards the gap in the guardrail, but the moment he looked at the audience, bright red filled his eyes.

The supporters at the scene will not blame him for his regretful finish, and they will not be angry for his unsuccessful finish. In any case, Zhang Yifei has already shown the strength and character of a Chinese driver on the stage of the world's top automobile events, which is enough for fans and supporters, they are not wrong!

"Zhang Yifei, it's okay, you didn't lose in our hearts!"

"Come on, Zhang Yifei, the future belongs to us and belongs to the Chinese drivers!"

"Yifeijun, you have shown the strength of the strongest driver in Asia, the dominance of the imperial demon king!"

"The strongest person on the Suzuka track today is your Excellency!"

The audience was very enthusiastic and cheered for Zhang Yifei to reduce his regret of giving up the results of the competition.

In the face of these voices of encouragement, Zhang Yifei also waved and smiled at them, without explaining and unable to explain his mood at the moment.

But his action triggered a frenzy among the audience on the track, with all kinds of screams and applause one after another. And even the ordinary viewers who did not support Zhang Yifei before, in the face of the final act of saving people, were also impressed by his character, and thunderous applause was endless.

At this moment, the Suzuka Circuit has become Zhang Yifei's real home field, the absolute focus in the paddock!

"The Chinese kid has earned respect with his actions, BOSS, what do you think about that?"

McLaren team manager Whitmarsh asked Dennis next to him.

With the three cars in the front row out at the same time in the final stages, McLaren Racing was also the winner, with Kimi Raikkonen in a podium finish.

Third place may not be a big deal for the other top riders, but for Kimi Raikkonen, who is currently in a lot of controversy, he needs to prove himself and improve his confidence and form.

Dennis also needs a podium finish to convince the board members after the season to give Kimi Raikkonen another year to grow. It can be said that the McLaren team has benefited the most.

"I'm not surprised by the act of saving people, it's what a driver and teammates should do, but it still shocked me when I was able to make a decision in an instant."

At least one runner-up result, he did not hesitate to give up, the average rookie driver does not have this kind of decisiveness and courage, and it is difficult to make a choice in a short time. Maybe if you hesitate for a few more seconds, it won't be what it looks like now. ”

Dennis was still amazed by Zhang Yifei's instantaneous judgment, after all, the runner-up in the sub-station is definitely a brilliant resume for a rookie driver.

As for the championship, according to the track conditions at the time, it was difficult for Zhang Yifei to catch up with Schumacher, let alone overtake. In today's world, no driver can beat Schumacher in a single lap, only he can beat others!

Being able to take it and put it down is a very precious quality for a driver, but Zhang Yifei has it. It is no wonder that since the Renault event, many people in the industry have said that the mentality of Chinese boys is terrible, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

"Yes, this kind of decisiveness is not for everyone, and next year's Kimi will meet a stronger and more formidable opponent."

Whitmarsh also sighed with emotion, Zhang Yifei's performance in this year's rookie season can almost be described as flawless. The once famous twin star Kimi Raikkonen, if he can't keep up with or even defeat his opponent, then there will be no more titles of twins in the future.

"I believe that Kimi will usher in a metamorphosis after today's battle."

"yes, how do you see it?"

"Feeling."

Dennis said this word lightly, he always believed that the body of the Finnish newcomer contains infinite potential, and what is missing is a chance to ignite and explode.

In this game, Zhang Yifei's performance was too amazing, maybe this is the key to unlocking Kimi Raikkonen's competitiveness!

On the other side of the Jaguar team, Niki Lauda looked at the applause and cheers of Zhang Yifei from the audience, and sighed with mixed feelings.

"I've never underestimated him, but I never thought that he would grow to this point, maybe this kid really has a chance to become the next Senna."

Lauda gave Zhang Yifei a high evaluation this time, because he himself had experienced a serious racing car fire accident and left a lifelong mark on him.

Zhang Yifei's actions just now undoubtedly showed the spirit of the driver to the fullest, just like Senna back then, in addition to the results, there is also greatness!

The step from being strong to greatness, or even becoming a god, is the most difficult. Senna is a god with his own purity, Schumacher is a god with his absolute results, Zhang Yifei as a yellow driver, he wants to take this step, he must show absolute brilliance.

Today's incident may become one of Zhang Yifei's shining points in the future.
