After Zhang Yifei rushed out of the pit stop, there was a cheer in the audience.

Although the supporters in the stands today are completely incomparable to the scene of half of the Japanese station, there are 10,000 people smaller, and at least there is no problem in supporting Zhang Yifei.

"Look, Zhang Yifei is out of the station, this is our Chinese car god!"

"Now Prost is the fastest car in the winter test, I believe that in this practice race, Zhang Yifei's performance will shock the audience!"

"That's right, the fastest lap is definitely the driver's fly!"

"Come on Zhang Yifei, sing all the way to win the opening game!"

is completely different from the cheering slogans in the stands last year, and the Chinese audience in this year's opening game is obviously much more confident. Even many people directly released arrogant claims that Zhang Yifei can win the fastest lap of the practice session!

This kind of call was unimaginable before, and many fans never dreamed that one day they would be in the F1 paddock, shouting for a Chinese driver to win the championship!

Not to mention this era, even if it is placed in 20 years, most people can only think about seeing the existence of Chinese drivers in the F1 paddock, and they dare not expect to run the fastest lap and shout the word "car god"!

But all this changed last year, when Zhang Yifei won the F1 Best Newcomer and climbed to the top podium of the sub-station championship. More importantly, Zhang Yifei's strength is among the world's top drivers.

In addition, this year's winter test Prost AP05 is the fastest car, and the final performance shortcomings of the car have also been made up, so Chinese fans and Zhang Yifei's supporters, they have the capital and self-confidence, and released the bold statement of winning the opening game!

The fanatical attitude of Zhang Yifei's fans in the audience also stimulated many supporters of other drivers. Especially the Malay Wiburners and Helio fans, who heard these cheers, their faces showed all kinds of unhappiness and hostility.

Singapore's proximity to Malaysia, which was a country a few decades ago, makes it very convenient to come and watch the game. So apart from Singaporeans, the Malay audience is the second largest audience in the paddock.

Yoong has now established himself in Minardi and is the number one driver, something many Malaysians have never thought about before.

You must know that Yang Long can enter the F1 team, all relying on the Malay lottery company, with a huge amount of sponsorship, it is not too much to say that Yang Long is a sponsor driver.

So last year, he didn't get an official driver's seat, just a third driver, or the third driver who was completely defeated by Zhang Yifei, and lost a lot.

Theoretically, this kind of performance is to watch the "water cooler" in the F1 team for two years and come back, which can be called a round of tours. As a result, I didn't expect that Minaldi's original No. 2 driver Marquis was amazing, and the last two stops gave him a chance to turn positive.

Being able to turn positive is already a coincidence, and the No. 2 driver should be the limit of Yang Long. However, people are not as good as heaven, and the original No. 1 driver Alonso died again and rolled himself out of the team, and the position of the next No. 1 driver was also vacated, so Yang Long took the place to fill the position.

Just such a driver who was supposed to wave a towel off the field relied on the operation of the two official drivers of the original team to make himself the No. 1 core, which is a surprise for Malaysia!

Just as Montoya became a Colombian superstar and Zhang Yifei became a Chinese superstar, Xiong Long is now moving towards Malaysian superstardom. After all, for a sporting weak country like Malaysia, it is definitely a matter of pride to have a top driver in the car world.

As a result, the Malay crowd today is huge, second only to Ferrari fans.

"The Chinese are so loud that they want to win the opening game, have you asked the Big Three team?"

"The fastest car in the winter test is not the same as the track result, and last year McLaren was known as the fastest car, and the championship was not Ferrari's."

"Last year, I didn't even have points for mid-range drivers, and I dare to call myself a car god when I won a sub-championship?"

"Schumacher and Prost have not yet won the four crowns, and the Chinese are also worthy?"

The Malay Wiburn audience and Helio fans in the stands, adhering to the theory that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, joined forces to launch a counterattack against Zhang Yifei's supporters.

And it's not just them, but the other driver supporters on the track are all sourly and sarcastic from time to time.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! In the past, this kind of "arrogant" cheering could only be enjoyed by European and American drivers, but now a Chinese driver has begun to really challenge their pinnacle status, which makes many F1 fans who were not hostile to Zhang Yifei before feel a little uncomfortable at the moment.

The reason is very simple, that is, the sense of superiority that used to stand on a high place has begun to die out gradually.

In this situation, you can either choose to accept your fate and accept that there are already Chinese drivers in the F1 paddock, who have reached the strength to attack the world championship. Either that, it is a crazy suppression, using any means to prevent rising stars from emerging and challenging their own status.

European and American fans naturally can't do crazy suppression in action, and can only sour in words, and can't see the momentum of Chinese fans who are "villains".

The most obvious performance in this is the previous Ferrari and Schumacher fans, in the past, when Zhang Yifei was ridiculed in Europe and the United States, the participation of Ferrari fans was the lowest, and even many times they stood in an objective perspective to help Zhang Yifei speak.

It was because Zhang Yifei at that time was far from threatening Ferrari and Schumacher, and they could show their kindness and generosity.

Just as an elephant doesn't care about any of the ants' actions, the Scuderia Ferrari is so high that Zhang Yifei can't challenge their position in anything.

This situation has actually changed slightly at the end of last season, and Zhang Yifei has the ability to threaten Schumacher. However, Zhang Yifei still has a shortcoming that has not been filled, that is, the performance of Prost racing, which has always been known for its weakness and high failure rate, and without the help of top cars, he will never be able to truly defeat Ferrari and Schumacher.

In the new season, AP05 won the title of fastest car, making up for the shortcomings and completely breaking the track balance. In the past, Zhang Yifei could only be regarded as a threat, but now he and the Prost team can be regarded as a big trouble, and it is time for the soldiers to meet each other!

Historically, the person in Zhang Yifei's position is actually Alonso.

When the head brother ended the Ferrari and Schumacher dynasties, the scene in the F1 fan circle was torn apart from the fan circle of later generations. Fans on both sides can't look at each other, and it can be said that they have been fighting for many years.

Later, with the retirement of Schumacher, the opponent of public opinion was replaced by rookie Hamilton.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the F1 paddock is no exception, whether off the field or in the stands.

The passion in the stands did not affect the practice of any driver, let alone the overwhelming spectacle of the United States Grand Prix.

Zhang Yifei didn't know that many people were looking forward to his lap time, some waiting to cheer, and some waiting to laugh. However, for the practice match, Zhang Yifei's consistent character is to go his own way, walk at his own pace, even if he runs for three or five minutes and is ridiculed by the group.

In addition to being familiar with the layout of the track, he was more interested in feeling the changes in the suspension of the car. Because the requirements for various car tuning in street races are very high, even to the point of affecting the final result.

In the Circuit Media Center, F1 UK commentator Blundell greeted the audience in the tone of an old friend, and he was still the on-site commentator of F1 this year.

Sitting next to Blundell is his partner from Singapore, commentator Lin Baoren, but the official communication in this era of Singapore is mainly in English, and the title is naturally the same.

Even many people do not use Chinese names to appear more foreign, so Lin Baoren generally calls himself Leo, which also has the meaning of a lion, which just corresponds to the nickname of Singapore's Lion City.

"Leo, what do you think will happen in the practice match this time?"

Blundell asked Leo, as a foreigner, he didn't know so many twists and turns, but he knew that this Singaporean commentator was of the same race as Zhang Yifei, so he specially asked Zhang Yifei to open the topic and show his closeness.

What Blundell didn't expect was that Lin Baoren just replied very coldly: "I hope to run a good result." ”

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, it is a very official polite remark, but Blundell can be called an old fritter and has partnered with countless commentators, so he can clearly feel that the other party is not very enthusiastic about Zhang Yifei.

This makes Blundell wonder, shouldn't it be a very proud thing that China finally has a top driver?

"I think Fei will be able to perform better than last year with the new car of Prost this year, and there is a good chance that he will hit the podium in this opening race."

Blundell revealed his optimism about Zhang Yifei, because the performance of the Chinese kid last year brought him too much shock, and in the rookie season in history, there are only a handful of people who can run Zhang Yifei's performance.

This year, the Prost AP05 car won the title of the fastest car in the winter test, and there is no reason why the performance is worse than last year.

"Really? I think the Chinese drivers may be a little bit behind, and the Ferrari and Williams drivers will have a much better chance of getting on the podium. ”

If Blundell was just a little strange before, then when he heard the current sentence, he could immediately determine that the Singapore commentator did not have a special sense of closeness to Zhang Yifei.

Even the word "Chinese driver" is more rusty than his own foreign commentary, and he also reveals a not optimistic attitude.

Blundell didn't know why, but a playful smile appeared on his face. Last year, there were also many commentators who belittled the Chinese formula and had no background, but they were all slapped in the face by the flying results, and now there is another one?
