576 King against King
It's not just Toyota that has this idea on the track, but also Renault, McLaren, and even Sauber and Jordan feel a kind of regret.
How to say that Zhang Yifei is also an F1 driver, even if he is standing in the same camp, they don't want F1 drivers to be trampled and humiliated by Indy drivers.
But the phrase running the Indy Oval Track was said by Zhang Yifei himself, and the words spoken by the man were like nails nailed to a wooden board, one nail and one eye, and there was no possibility of change.
Not to mention that there is still a global live broadcast and the witness of 200,000 viewers on the track, Zhang Yifei has no turning back.
At this time, Helio, the champion of the Indy rookie who had not spoken, picked up the microphone and said in an indifferent tone: "Fight? It's just that you're not qualified. ”
Helio and his predecessors who are the champions of Indy are not in their eyes, and it is impossible to look down on Zhang Yifei, and the tone is as contemptuous as possible.
Zhang Yifei looked at the young face on the broadcast screen, which was full of arrogance, he had asked Henry before, who is stronger than the Indy rookie champion and Montoya?
Henry's answer was Helio, because he, the champion of Indy's new technology, broke many records on Indytrack tracks and was called the strongest newcomer in history, so Zhang Yifei also had a little impression of him.
"It's not enough to run the Indy Oval? If you're afraid, just say it, don't waste everyone's time. ”
Zhang Yifei has already made infinite concessions, if the other party is not willing to run, it is destined to become a verbal cannon.
Because sending any Indy driver, as long as there is no championship title, Zhang Yifei will not run with them.
Joke? Do you really think that the Indy drivers can be on the same level as the F1 drivers?
The most powerful and cutting-edge formula driver in the world will always be an F1 driver. Those cat and dog drivers in India are also not worthy of running away with me!
"Afraid? Hehe. ”
Helio sneered, then took his eyes off Zhang Yifei and looked at a red figure in the back half of the float.
"If you want to challenge the Indy champion, you must at least send an equal driver, dare to run with me, and decide who is the ultimate king of formula racing! Horse! Hertz! ”
"Wow......"
When Helio shouted Schumacher's name, there was an uproar on the track, and no one could have imagined that the fuse of a Chinese kid would really turn into a war between the Indian king and the F1 champion.
That's right, king to king, only Schumacher, the strongest driver in F1, stands up and is worthy of the three Indy world champions, this is the biggest feast in the formula world!
"Crazy, is the formula war about to start?"
"He is worthy of being the strongest newcomer in Indy, Helio originally wanted to challenge Schumacher!"
"Well done Helio, that's the moment when the real decision is who is the best Formula driver!"
"Schumacher, do you dare to take on the challenge of the king of India?"
"Battle of Kings!"
The track instantly fell into a crazy scene, this unexpected joy was something that no one had expected before.
If Schumacher is up for the fight, it could be a historic moment today, and for the first time the decades-long battle between the Indo-local program and Formula 1 will come to fruition!
Hearing Helio's challenge, Zhang Yifei was a little surprised, but soon he understood that this king of India was actually the same kind of person as himself.
Either you don't challenge, or if you want to challenge, you have to choose the strongest driver!
All the F1 drivers on the parade have their eyes on Schumacher, the current best driver in F1 and the man who has created a team dynasty, whether he will accept the challenge of the Indy World Championship!
The track broadcast camera was also aimed at Schumacher, so that the subtle changes in expression on his face were clearly presented in front of the audience's eyes.
I saw the expression on Schumacher's face, from the previous indifference, the corners of his mouth slowly began to rise, and then he looked at Zhang Yifei on the float.
Looking at Schumacher's gaze, Zhang Yifei knew the answer in an instant, he walked over and stood beside Schumacher and handed him the microphone.
"Little guy, did you know that challenging for the F1 championship can be equally serious??"
This sentence was said to Zhang Yifei before, and now Schumacher has returned it to Helio almost intact!
On the Indianapolis circuit, the most qualified driver to say this is Schumacher, who is the real king of formula racing at present!
"Then let's go for a run and let me feel what the consequences are!"
A kind of fanatical excitement appeared on Helio's face, because Schumacher's answer was almost on the verge of battle.
Even if he is as arrogant as Helio, he can have the opportunity to run with the strongest driver at the moment, he feels that the opportunity is rare, and the fighting spirit in his heart is turbulent!
"It's a little unfair to let Fei challenge the three of you alone, since you want to decide who is the ultimate king of the equation, then I'll satisfy you."
"Let's run together, let you feel the real strength of an F1 driver, feel my dominance!"
Schumacher made the decision to the battle lightly and included Zhang Yifei. In other words, he will fight alongside Zhang Yifei on the Indianapolis circuit against three Indy World Champions!
When these words were spoken, the 200,000 spectators on the track completely broke out, and the applause and cheers resounded through the sky like thunder.
This year happens to be the year 2000, the year of the turn of the century, and there is a battle of the century for formula racing! Is the 20-year battle between the Indian program and Formula 1 finally coming to an end?
"I'm so excited, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, there would really be such a battle of the century!"
"Come on! Indian champions, defeat Schumacher, the best driver in Formula 1, and you will be the best in Formula 1! ”
"Long live Indy!"
"Long live America!"
“usa!usa!usa!”
The crazy American slogans resounded neatly at the Indianapolis circuit, but Zhang Yifei looked at Schumacher's side face and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He really didn't expect that it would be Schumacher who would finally help him take the last step of the counterattack.
Zhang Yifei didn't expect that Helio was as arrogant as himself, and his goal was to hit Schumacher and not be satisfied with the identity of the Indian champion.
The only thing that Zhang Yifei expected was Schumacher's response.
The car god is the car god after all, and the strength, self-confidence, and pride are all placed here, and no driver is allowed to provoke in front of him. Especially in the case of king against king, it is inevitable that a winner will be decided!
At present, there can only be one king of formula racing, and that is I, Schumacher!
Things have come to this point, and any interview on the parade is so boring in the face of formula war.
So after a lap around the track, the pre-race parade ended early, and all the drivers returned to the team pits to prepare for the main race of the US Grand Prix, the Formula War was just a continuation, and the US Grand Prix was the main course of the day.
When he walked into the driver's tunnel, Zhang Yifei followed Schumacher, hesitated for a moment and said to him: "Thank you for helping me." ”
If there is no Schumacher joining today, his "revenge" battle may be lost, because the possibility of the three Indian champions collectively accompanying an F1 newcomer is very small, even if Zhang Yifei makes concessions.
"I'm just fighting for F1."
Schumacher did not admit that he helped Zhang Yifei, and he did not bother to claim favors.
The situation has evolved to this day, in fact, both sides are already very clear in their hearts that Zhang Yifei is just a rising bird to use to open the knife. The real idea of the AAA and the Indy Champions is to use F1 drivers as stepping stones to prove their strength and ultimately expand their global reach.
After all, in any competitive sporting event, the strong are respected, and as long as the public thinks that IndyCar is stronger, then it will eventually become a champion of the Indy Series.
As the current leader of Formula 1, Schumacher is the ultimate goal, and it is impossible for him to stay out of it. It's just that Schumacher couldn't express anything when the team and the FIA were not named.
Today, Helio openly challenged, and if Schumacher still shrank and didn't stand up, then this kind of coward does not deserve to be called a car god in the future!
"I'm fighting for dignity."
Zhang Yifei replied lightly, then turned around and walked towards his convoy.
Looking at the back of the Chinese boy, Schumacher knew in his heart that he did have the idea of helping the Chinese boy, otherwise he would not have mentioned his name in the response.
Because of Zhang Yifei's counterattack on the float, he saw his unyielding courage and tenacious fighting spirit.
No matter how strong the opponent is, no matter how much pressure the hundreds of thousands of spectators bring to the scene, this Chinese newcomer still chooses to fight, even if it is challenged in the most unfamiliar way.
In his career, he has rarely seen this kind of tenacity in a newcomer, let alone a Chinese driver.
The brave are worthy of respect, and this kind of help can be regarded as Schumacher's resonance for the brave.
Back at the team pit, the crew members saw Zhang Yifei walk in, and the expressions on their faces were complicated. Because Zhang Yifei's actions on the float are tantamount to a suicidal attack, for the dignity of himself and the Chinese drivers, to fight a war with almost no chance of winning.
This kind of behavior is tragic, but history is written by the victors, as long as Zhang Yifei loses, no one will care about his tragedy, and will only be portrayed as an object of ridicule beyond his strength.
"What kind of expression is this? I haven't even run yet, and I think I'm going to lose? Be optimistic! ”
Zhang Yifei replied with a smile on his face, but this did not drive the emotions of the crew members at all.
Because except for Coser, Yakyo Yamamoto and Alessi, no one else knew that he was already on the simulator and preparing for the oval track, so naturally pessimism prevailed.
Zhang Yifei's smile is "forced smile" in their eyes.
But at this time, Korsell also walked out, and looking at the solemn expressions on the faces of the others, he directly reprimanded: "Don't you take off like this?" Schumacher has won, the Indy champion is a fart! ”
"Even if you run an oval track, the Indynade can't see the tail lights of the fly, remember what I said, fly is done!"
