Thinking of these, the joy of being on the podium in Zhang Yifei's heart was also diluted a lot.

Because next season, he will also become a member of the driver who competes with Schumacher, how to win in the face of this "complete" state of the car god Schumacher?

After the three drivers reached the podium, the whole process began to fall silent as the national anthem of the country of the riders' nationality was about to be played. At the same time, on the LED display behind the three drivers, the driver's flag also appeared, which was the first time that a five-star red flag appeared on the F1 podium!

When the German national anthem sounded, Zhang Yifei took off the baseball cap on his head to express his respect for other countries.

When listening to the national anthem and watching the audience stand up and be silent, Zhang Yifei's "despair" for challenging Schumacher suddenly diluted a lot.

Because he remembered his promise to stand on the podium of Renault, one day, he would let the Chinese national anthem sound on this F1 track, so that the audience would be in awe of the Chinese drivers!

In the bones of the Chinese, the prince will Xiangning has a kind of thought, and if Schumacher can become a legend, then I can too. To borrow a famous saying from the overlord Xiang Yu back then, one day he can replace him!

After the national anthem ceremony, it will be the medal ceremony, and the top three drivers will receive a trophy. As for the design of the trophy, it will vary slightly depending on the course, and there will be some characteristics of the host country.

For example, the F1 Chinese Grand Prix trophy in history 04 is in the shape of "Chinese Ding", and there is the East China Sea flower "Magnolia" behind it, as well as the mythological element "Hot Wheels" and so on.

It's just that some designers' brains and designs are more abstract, Zhang Yifei took the trophy and glanced at it, but he didn't see what the designer's source of inspiration was, which may also have something to do with the fact that he is not very familiar with the history and background of Malaysia.

In addition to the features of the trophy, the F1 sub-race will be presented by a well-known figure or leader in the country in addition to the senior management of the FIA and the F1 management company.

The most famous of these is, of course, the Russian Grand Prix award ceremony, where President Vladimir Putin personally took the stage to present awards to the drivers, and even Hamilton sprayed champagne on him, which made the security personnel at the time extremely nervous.

This time the awards are more conventional, because of the special relationship of the host country, there are no big names.

So after the award ceremony, Schumacher directly picked up the champagne at his feet, took a sip, shook it vigorously a few times and began to spray it on the people next to him.

Spraying champagne is an old tradition of the F1 award ceremony, so Zhang Yifei was not stunned, he picked up the champagne next to his feet, and sprayed it violently at the people on the stage, and even came to the edge of the fence, even the audience below did not let go.

However, it may be because of the unfamiliar relationship, Schumacher and Barrichello have interacted, and Zhang Yifei is obviously not on the same channel. After all, they are members of a team and are very familiar with each other, and Zhang Yifei is embarrassed to force himself over.

At the end of the carnival, Zhang Yifei returned to the pit with the trophy, and the team members came over to congratulate Zhang Yifei, and even the younger Ah Hu couldn't help but start wiping tears when he saw Zhang Yifei's trophy.

Looking at Ah Hu like this, Zhang Yifei hugged his head and patted him lightly twice.

"Ah Hu, when did you kid become as emotional as a girl. It's just a third-place finish, if I win the championship in the future, you still have to wipe a handful of snot and tears on my racing suit? ”

", Brother Fei, you really hold a grudge, do you remember wiping some snot?"

"Of course, this disgusting act of your kid almost affected my performance in that game!"

When these few words were spoken, Ah Hu's action of wiping his tears in an instant turned into a gesture of his middle finger.

Next, Zhang Yifei and other team members also hugged each other to celebrate, so this is also the first sub-stop trophy of the Prost team in recent years, and their inner happiness can be imagined.

At this time, a person suddenly threw himself into Zhang Yifei's arms, and then kissed him on the face, leaving a big red lip print.

Sophia didn't know when, but she also came to the P room of the team from the VIP viewing room on the second floor, and gave Zhang Yifei this big hug.

Feeling the softness in my arms, a fragrance came to my nose, plus this big red lip print on my face. directly made the team members start to coax, making all kinds of strange calls to make fun of Zhang Yifei.

If this situation were a Chinese girl, I would probably feel shy and embarrassed to let go. But Sophia didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, still hugging Zhang Yifei's waist, and her movements were extremely intimate.

Zhang Yifei was embarrassed to do it, and secretly pushed her arm to push her away. It's just that so many people are watching, and Zhang Yifei can't push it away hard, otherwise it will hurt other people's self-esteem a little, and he just feels a little embarrassed.

After all, the traditional Chinese concept of this kind of intimacy has gone far beyond the boundaries of friends.

However, compared to Zhang Yifei's push, it is not good, and it is not good to hold the embarrassing situation, but the "foreigners" are very open.

Prost teased Charlie beside him: "I didn't expect to fly in the convoy to look serious, but I got Diniz's daughter so quickly, it's really a paddock and a love scene." ”

Charlie nodded after hearing this: "That's right, this guy Fei is conservative on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is making rapid progress, in the words of the Chinese, this is called sullenness?" ”

Henry laughed when he heard this: "F1's second triple jump miracle maker, the youngest driver in history, made his debut in the points area, and took the podium directly in the second race. With this achievement, plus the long handsomeness, it is normal to attract the favor of beautiful women. ”

"Henry, I saw you go to a bar with a race car girl last night, so what are your strengths that can attract the favor of beautiful women?"

Hearing Charlie instantly lead the "flames of war" to himself, Henry directly gestured at him with his middle finger and said: "FUCK!" ”

When Zhang Yifei got Sophia away, the team's congratulations came to an end.

Zhang Yifei wiped the lip prints on his face, came to the driver's lounge alone, pushed open the door, and sure enough, he saw Alessi sitting inside.

In fact, when he returned to the pit, Zhang Yifei's eyes were always looking for Alessi. But in the congratulatory crowd, Alessi was not seen, maybe his own carnival was a kind of loneliness for the French veteran.

Alaisi sat on the sofa, watched Zhang Yifei walk in, and said lightly: "Congratulations." ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Yifei walked up to Alessi and thanked him.

Although Alessi's final blocking effect was not as perfect as planned, it was only by relying on Alessi's pressure and blocking that Zhang Yifei was able to surpass his opponents and greatly shorten the gap with the first group.

It can be said that without the help of Alessi, Zhang Yifei would not have been able to stand on the podium.

"Don't thank me, I just carried out the team's orders."

Alessi still has that lukewarm attitude, in fact, in his heart, he is also very conflicted at the moment.

Pride made him reluctant to admit that he had done a wingman's thing, so he threw the blame and gave the team instructions. But he already admitted in his heart that Zhang Yifei can lead the team to run better results and be stronger than himself!

Not every veteran, at the end of his career, can calmly admit that his skills are inferior. In contrast, Alessi only maintains his dignity with words, and uses his actions to ensure team cooperation and support for junior drivers.

Speaking of which, Alessi himself feels incredible, last season's label, or the villain who suppressed the rookie drivers, but now he has made a "good deed" of sacrificing himself to let Zhang Yifei stand on the podium.

People can really change sometimes.

"Anyway, thank you for making me feel what teamwork is."

Hearing this, Alessi did not answer, and chose to respond in silence.

This is a conversation between a man and a driver, and now that the question has been said, there is no need to continue to be pretentious.

So Zhang Yifei turned around and prepared to go to the bathroom, after all, the rain was mixed with sweat, and it was really uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to leave, Alessi's voice came from behind.

"If you really want to thank me, win the championship for Prost, I'm French, I can feel and understand Prost's dream. Although his ideals failed, I don't want to see his team fail, you can do that. ”

For the first time, Alessi spoke his mind, and he helped Zhang Yifei in addition to believing that the other party could run better. Another point is that only Zhang Yifei can save the declining Prost team with outstanding results.

He is French, and Prost chose him precisely because he is a French driver.

The dream of the Grand France team is not only Prost, but also Alesi, otherwise he would not have chosen to join the declining Prost team. It's just that he witnessed Prost's failure step by step, and it turns out that there is no way out for Formula 1 motorsport, which is closed and nationalistic.

Only by opening up and allowing stronger people to join the team can we create a brilliant record, not just in one country.

This is like the United States, and the reason why it remains strong is that it attracts high-end talent from all over the world to help build it. Of course, the side effect is that the low-end also absorbs a lot.

Alessi respects Prost's ideals, and those who can put them into action, whether they succeed or fail, are at least worthy of the respect of the French. So he is willing to make sacrifices for the team, just to let Prost, the French team, go on better.

"I will, and you'll see me on the top of the podium in the future."

After saying this, Zhang Yifei left the lounge without looking back, leaving Alessi looking at his back.
