Backstage of the A1 Track Media Center in Austria, Zhang Yifei looked at these familiar faces, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, it's really not that enemies don't meet!

It seems that the F1 event operation organization also wants to do something, and has put together several old rivals of the Brazilian Grand Prix.

In fact, it was not only Zhang Yifei who had this idea, but the expressions on the faces of the other drivers were also very subtle after they met. In the past, in the pre-race interview, not to say anything and laugh, at least a few drivers would be polite and say hello or something.

Today's atmosphere has dropped to the freezing point, not even the first to say hello, the five people sit in the backstage, and even the makeup artist is a little confused when he sees this scene, are these five drivers staging a mime?

But in the end, the Schumacher brothers still stood up, one is the king who is about to defend the championship of the season, and he always has a bit of the spirit and stomach of the first person in the car world. The other has a more cheerful and cynical personality, and the two are brothers, so they are naturally very suitable for this "icebreaker".

Someone took the lead in greeting, and Zhang Yifei was also polite, but when he faced Montoya, his expression was very cold, and he jumped over directly, without giving the other party any good looks.

Montoya also glanced at Zhang Yifei, and did not say too much, the grievances on the track will be settled on the track after all. Unless an absolute powerhouse appears, neither of them is willing to bow to each other now.

Zhang Yifei's grievances with Montoya, the other three drivers naturally knew about it, and Barrichello was even the initiator.

However, this time Barrichello took the initiative to greet Zhang Yifei, after all, in the Brazilian Grand Prix, he caused a lot of trouble to Zhang Yifei by inciting the emotions of the home audience.

In particular, the death threat before the game, if you change to a newcomer with poor psychological quality, it may directly affect the performance of the game.

So in a sense, apart from the provocation of the post-game interview of Zhang Yifei, Barrichello is actually at a loss. He took the initiative to say hello this time, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill to Zhang Yifei and ease the relationship between the two sides.

After all, the two of them are just grievances and opponents on the track, and in reality, there is actually no holiday, and winning or losing can be regarded as dignified. The Brazilian Grand Prix is behind us, and there are countless similar contradictions in F1's history, so there is no need to make it like a life-and-death feud.

After a brief image of the interview, the five interview drivers walked from the backstage to the interview room, where there were already reporters from major European media waiting.

You must know that the Austrian Grand Prix is the last stop of the European circuit, and the next two races will be Indianapolis Circuit in the United States and Suzuka Circuit in Japan, both of which are overseas races.

Compared with Europe, it is naturally much more difficult to report on overseas stations, so the number of reporters interviewed before the game this time is extraordinarily large, and the audience is simply black.

Several drivers took their seats in turn, and the C position was given to the two drivers of the Scuderia Ferrari, after all, they had already locked up the Constructors' Championship in advance, and the suspense of the Drivers' Championship was already small, so they naturally deserved the center position.

Zhang Yifei and Montoya sat on the outermost side of each side, both of them are newcomers, and their status and qualifications are currently a little worse. However, today's reporter's camera, aimed at the number of the two of them, is no less than that of Schumacher.

Because these reporters all know that this is the first public appearance of the two people on the same stage after the Brazilian Grand Prix crash, there will definitely be a bit of a story.

"Hello Schumacher, I'm a journalist for Sky Sports UK, this will be the last Grand Prix in Europe, do you think you can lock up the title early?"

Sky Sports first began to ask questions, and on the European turf, they are the chief media partner of F1, and they can be regarded as the top two sports TV stations, so they naturally get priority treatment.

"I don't think it's a suspense."

Schumacher replied confidently, even arrogantly. But none of them had any special expressions, on the contrary, they were very calm and natural.

The reason is simple, it is the truth, he is close to thirty points ahead of Coulthard. Unless Schumacher doesn't score a point in the next three races, and Coulthard defends three consecutive titles, it is impossible to surpass Schumacher.

Is that a possibility? The answer, of course, is yes.

Is it likely? The answer is very little.

So Schumacher has the strength to say this to the capital, this is the confidence of being the strongest driver in the F1 paddock at the moment, and he will become the defending champion again!

"Barrichello, I'm AFP, you're six points clear of Coulthard at the moment, the competition is fierce, are you confident of beating this old rival in A1?"

"Of course, Ferrari will dominate the track."

As the number two, Barrichello didn't want to steal the limelight from Schumacher, but with the improvement of his results over the past two years, he has become one of the top drivers, and no one dares to underestimate the number two driver on the track.

And no one disputes this sentence, the red Ferrari team has locked up three consecutive championships in advance, and really dominates the F1 circuit!

"Now the Scuderia Ferrari is really no longer under pressure. But in the Brazilian Grand Prix, you lost to the Chinese driver Fei, and after three months, what do you want to say to him? ”

Questions about Scuderia Ferrari's results have become a non-nutritious question, after all, they have already won the Drivers' Championship and the Constructors' Championship.

The main attraction on the track today is Zhang Yifei's "comeback" battle, the scene of the Brazilian Grand Prix three months ago, which can be regarded as the biggest grudge of this year's F1 season.

After the race, many reporters planned to interview several drivers involved, but when the track accident occurred, Zhang Yifei and Montoya were sent to the hospital one after another, making the track interview ineffective.

Now that all the drivers of the Brazilian Grand Prix have finally come together, it is time to talk about the grievances of the time.

"Objectively speaking, as a newcomer, Fei's performance at that time was really good."

Putting aside the grievances of victory and defeat, Barrichello evaluated purely from the technical level, Zhang Yifei was able to surpass himself, Montoya and Schumacher on an unfamiliar track, and directly rushed to the top position, and his performance was not too much to describe as top.

So this time Barrichello did not deliberately belittle, and calmly admitted Zhang Yifei's technical strength.

"Then this Hungarian Grand Prix, will you face any pressure to fly?"

When he heard this question, Barrichello snorted directly, and his face was full of mockery for the reporter who asked the question.

"Are you kidding? Flying didn't come back to the point where it could put pressure on me. ”

Barrichello can admit Zhang Yifei's strength in the newcomer, but he will never admit that Zhang Yifei can put pressure on himself, or be stronger than himself!

An overtaking in a Grand Prix does not mean anything at all, and Schumacher is often overtaken by his opponents when he competes in the first echelon.

Take Montoya, who is also a newcomer, for example, after more than a dozen races, he has surpassed Schumacher at least three or four times, and even won the Monza championship.

Who would say Montoya is better than Schumacher? Or will Schumacher be under pressure against Montoya?

So this is simply a joke, admitting that the opponent's strength is not the same as pressure, even if Zhang Yifei has performed well, his current results are still at the bottom, and he is still far from being a driver at the same level as Barrichello.

Zhang Yifei, who was sitting next to him, also glanced at him with playful eyes when he heard Barrichello's words.

This is the inherent self-confidence and arrogance of the old driver at his peak, and it is difficult for the other party to completely admit his failure before standing on a high point and letting him look up.

Of course, Zhang Yifei can also understand these, after all, he has only run three games, and his points are only 5 points. If this kind of achievement can make Barrichello stressed or afraid, it is unscientific, and Barrichello is not so cowardly.

At this time, a BBC reporter found Zhang Yifei's eyes full of meaning, and instantly exerted the spirit of "-stirring stick" and asked Zhang Yifei a question.

"Fei, first of all, congratulations on your return to the track, we all know that you have been on a three-month break due to a crash at the Brazilian Grand Prix, will there be any negative impact on this Austrian Grand Prix?"

"It doesn't have any effect."

Zhang Yifei directly denied this statement.

In fact, to be honest, the impact is still there, and it is obvious. There is no essential difference between racing and basketball, football and other competitive sports, it all depends on the player's performance and feel.

For example, basketball players are injured at every turn, and the intensity and frequency of the game are not guaranteed, which greatly affects the performance in the game. A lot of talented players are ruined by frequent injuries.

But in the face of the media, Zhang Yifei never chooses to admit cowardice, he will always be that confident and arrogant look, which is self-suggestion and a signal to the opponent.

Never underestimate the Chinese driver on the track, even if he returns to the track after three months, he is still so strong!

"Fei, you really haven't changed much."

The BBC reporter also agreed, it seems that the three months have not had a serious impact on the Chinese newcomers, let alone any accident psychological disorders.

"At the Brazilian Grand Prix, it was Montoya who knocked you off the track and even lost your first race win. At Imola Circuit, when you were interviewed, you accused Montoya of dangerous driving and that he was not fit to be an F1 driver, and now in front of him, do you still think so? ”

The traditional skills of the British-stirring stick were activated, and they waited for Zhang Yifei to face Montoya and respond to the accident at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

In the past, Zhang Yifei didn't like the British style of fanning the flames.

But at this moment, he really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to say something to Montoya!
