As if in order to confirm Red's words, Suarez desperately chased behind, wanting to complete the overtake of Zhang Yifei in the final stage.

But at this moment, there is only the last lap left in the race, and Zhang Yifei completely ignores Suarez, who is chasing behind him, and aims for the first Massa.

It's just that while the other drivers are fiercely competing, Massa has been silently leading for nearly three seconds alone.

This time gap is placed on the Monza high-speed track, calculated at an average of 180km/h, and Zhang Yifei, who finished second, was directly thrown out of more than 100 meters. If you encounter any curves, you can't even see the taillights when you are dumped!

At this moment, Zhang Yifei remembered an Internet meme, that is really an ant under the saint, but he never expected that he would also become that ant!

There is only the last lap left, and there is no way to make up for this gap, no matter how Zhang Yifei catches up, too much time has been wasted in front of him because of various overtaking and grappling.

That's why everyone has to fight for pole position in qualifying, because the advantage of the first start is too great, as long as you don't make any huge mistakes, the next drivers will slow down the time because they are competing for the cornering route.

Of course, this time Massa was able to keep the lead, mainly because Zhang Yifei made a mistake in the first corner and forcibly overtook Kubica.

After overtaking, the speed of the car did not increase, but because it almost ran out of control and rushed off the track, the speed was even slower.

If Zhang Yifei is asked to choose again, he is estimated that he will not be so sharp, but wait for a more suitable overtaking opportunity, don't engage in clam and crane competition, and let Massa, a fisherman, benefit.

The black-and-white checkered flag at the end of the race appeared on the track, and the first-placed Massa began to slow down after passing the flag and drove towards the celebration area.

Zhang Yifei, who was second, also slowed down after passing the black and white checkered flag, and this time he didn't have to go to the pit lane to watch others celebrate the victory. Instead, you can follow Massa, park the car in the celebration area, and end up on the podium together.

Suarez, who finished third, also followed Zhang Yifei and went to the celebration area together. After the top three, all the drivers took their cars to the pit lane, waiting for the post-race maintenance and inspection by the race team.

"Yifeijun, congratulations on winning the runner-up of the sub-station, you ran very well!"

Yamamoto Ukyo's congratulations came from inside the headset, and it was clear from his voice that he was excited now.

The runner-up in the junior formula race, which is actually not a great achievement, is even placed among European drivers, but it is just an entry level.

But for Asian riders, who can win the runner-up in the sub-race for the first time, they are definitely the top ones.

You must know the previous Toyota's psychological bottom line, as long as Zhang Yifei can enter the main competition, it will be considered to meet the requirements. In the entire Renault 2000 Euro 2000 competition, as long as one of them can stand on the podium, it is over-qualified!

As a result, I didn't expect that Zhang Yifei won the fourth place in the first stop and the runner-up in the main competition, which has completely exceeded expectations.

Whether it is standing in the position of Toyota or Zhang Yifei's identity as a race engineer, there is no reason why Yamamoto Youkyo Kyoto should not be excited!

"Thank you."

can get the runner-up of the sub-station, although Zhang Yifei is in a good mood, but it is far from the level of excitement, and it is more of a regret.

"By the way, Youjing, has the final result of the event command center come out, and how far is the gap between me and Massa?"

"Come out, Massa finished in 31:17.280 and you're 2.574 seconds behind him."

"What about the fastest lap, is it also Massa?"

Zhang Yifei asked again, if Massa gets the fastest lap, then he has staged a "hat trick" in the car, that is, in a race, he won the pole position, the championship and the fastest lap at the same time, which is equivalent to three yuan in the world!

"No, the fastest lap was Suarez, who won the fastest lap by a narrow margin of 0.145 seconds."

"Hey, I don't have any records."

Zhang Yifei sighed, he didn't expect the fastest lap to be Suarez's, and he thought he had a chance to win the fastest lap consolation prize.

Originally, Zhang Yifei just said it casually, but he didn't expect that Yamamoto Youjing on the headset was very straightforward to check the game data, and it really made him find a record of Zhang Yifei.

"Yifei-kun, congratulations, this time you started the fastest, overtaking Massa!"

Listening to Yamamoto Ukyo's "congratulations" words, Zhang Yifei was really a little speechless, he thought he was straight enough, this guy is simply a straight man of steel, and his thinking really won't turn!

In the post-race celebration area, there was already a large wave of reporters waiting to interview the top three drivers, and there were various cheers from the audience, and Zhang Yifei could vaguely hear Massa's name being called.

But this is also normal, Massa won the pole position and won the sub-race, only by a narrow margin, did not get the fastest lap record, otherwise the first race will directly score a hat-trick, which is even more exaggerated than in history.

Combined with his own Formula Renault championship bonus, Monza is in a way half his home stadium, and it's no surprise that so many spectators chant his name.

The car was parked, and the top three drivers came down to celebrate, at this time reporters gathered around, and the microphone and camera were almost all aimed at Massa, asking him how he felt after winning the championship and so on.

Originally, Zhang Yifei was still thinking about what kind of pose he should pose after taking off his helmet, so that he could be more photogenic, and how to show the handsome image of our Chinese drivers.

After all, this is not F1, there are only dozens of drivers, no matter whether the results are good or bad, everyone can be named, and they also have a certain popularity and influence.

There are not many junior Formula drivers, but there are quite a few of them, with nearly 300 drivers in the Renault series alone. Unless you have won the overall score of the series, a runner-up in a sub-event is really not very valuable.

"Mr. Massa, how do you feel now that you won the championship?"

"Do you regret that Philip, who won pole position and race at the same time, was just one lap away from completing a hat-trick?"

"Massa, this event is far ahead, how do you evaluate the strength of the opponents on the field, such as the Chinese driver next to you, Fei."

The first two questions are okay, but the content of the third question is obviously a bit of a mess.

Zhang Yifei glanced over and found that the reporter who asked the question was a little familiar, and after a closer look, wasn't this the Sky Sports reporter Donnie who interviewed him at the beginning?

It's this grandson, who edited his interview video out of context, and was ridiculed by all kinds of people before the game, it's really a narrow road, and this grandson began to ask questions about himself again!

Massa is not a person with an arrogant personality, and later in the F1 paddock, he can be regarded as a good person.

So in the face of this kind of question, he just smiled and replied: "I think the strength of flying is good." ”

"Is it just good, but how does it compare to you?"

The question immediately attracted attention, and all the reporters turned their microphones to Massa to hear what he could say.

A hesitant expression appeared on Massa's face, obviously this question was also difficult for him, but at this time, Massa was only an eighteen-year-old boy after all, and he still had the edge of a teenager.

"It's good to fly, but I think I'm a little stronger, and the championship is the best proof of that!"

To be honest, Zhang Yifei has always attached great importance to Massa's strength and thinks he is very strong.

Even in a sense, Zhang Yifei feels that Massa is stronger than himself, rather than blind self-confidence.

You must know that before the game, Zhang Yifei has a lower limit for himself, just to enter the main race, and the upper limit is to be on the podium. As for what is 100% sure, it is completely forced to say it head-on.

After all, if you lose, you don't lose the battle, as the pioneer of the current Chinese formula drivers, your results can be bad, but you can't lose your blood and courage.

In many cases, a country's sports pioneer has a high probability of affecting the overall wind direction, and Zhang Yifei does not want to be a Chinese driver in the future, and when facing European powerhouses, he looks like "hypochondria".

That's right, the other side is stronger, but so what? Isn't the charm of competitive sports to challenge the limits of the strong and themselves, and if you admit it, don't race the car, this is the game of the brave.

Zhang Yifei's expressionless appearance was naturally seen by Donnie, since he had already fanned the flames, how could he not ignite the fire?

He immediately pointed the microphone at Zhang Yifei and asked: "Fei, you only won the second place in Monza this time, and you are nearly three seconds behind Massa, do you agree that Massa is stronger, or that the next stop will be a challenge?" ”

Anyway, he has already established an arrogant image in front of the European media, and Zhang Yifei doesn't bother to pretend to be modest or explain anything.

In fact, it's okay, at least don't say something hypocritical, just say anything.

"I said before the race that I would be on the podium and now I did. Again, I don't think there are any drivers better than me, the next stop is not a challenge, it's a testament to my quality! ”

When Zhang Yifei said this, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar, and many of the shots that were aimed at Massa before were put on Zhang Yifei.

It's rare to see such an arrogant driver in the formula race, and it's a Chinese newcomer.

The same Zhang Yifei's answer was also broadcast live on the big screen of the track, and most of the audience at the scene today were Massa supporters. Naturally, they can't accept Zhang Yifei's remarks, if you win, you can be arrogant, and if you lose the runner-up, you dare to speak ruthlessly, what about your face?

"SHIT (shit)! Do you really think you're the best at winning a runner-up? ”

"The Chinese are too arrogant, Massa made him understand how powerful you are!"

"I'm going to knock him out in the next qualifying round, and I don't want to see the Chinese on the podium again!"

In order to avoid the audience being too emotional and any safety accidents, the event organizers ended the interview and started the award ceremony directly.

Coming to the podium on the second floor, there was a dark crowd of spectators and rider team members standing below.

In the crowd, Zhang Yifei saw Junko Takeda and the others, waving excitedly at him.

They are much more excited than Zhang Yifei, after all, Zhang Yifei has always set his goal on the top podium of F1, and Junko Takeda thinks that winning the top three titles in Renault is already a very good result.

Different goals naturally bring different satisfactions.

The Formula 1 awards are not as grand as those of F1, limited by age and without champagne celebrations, but only a trophy in the shape of a Renault logo was given to the top three drivers.

The first to finish on the podium was Suarez, who was also not excited about it, and perhaps his goal before the race was to challenge for the championship.

In fact, Suarez can accept not winning the championship, but now the runner-up position has been taken by the Chinese novice, and he has surpassed himself on the track, which makes Suarez feel very difficult to accept, and naturally he can't be happy.

The second podium was Zhang Yifei, who responded "enthusiastically" as soon as he went up and below, but it was not a simple cheer and celebration, but mixed with various boos and whistles.

This kind of scene is relatively rare in formula racing, after all, before Zhang Yifei, only Japanese drivers had participated in European formula racing.

And the character of the Japanese, in the face of the strong and the white, is not confident in their bones. In this regard, it was not until Sato Takuma this stunned young man came to the F1 arena that he was a little tough, after all, I can't run you, I can't beat you?

Cowardice means that there is no threat, and European fans can easily accept you, and even welcome you with a big welcome and give you a cheer or something.

This is also the general psychology of most people, whether it is racing or other competitive sports, and even in business, studies and so on.

"Damn, what do these ghosts mean, can't they afford to lose?"

Ah Hu is young and vigorous, and as soon as he hears the boos around him, he feels angry, isn't this aimed at Fei Ge?

"Hmph, I just can't afford to lose, wait for the next stop to win the championship, and see what else they can say."

Chen Zhi echoed, and he also felt a kind of anger in his heart, but unlike Ah Hu's simple anger, he had a kind of humiliation of being despised by others.

Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto didn't look good, in fact, during the post-race interview, they knew that Zhang Yifei's remarks would arouse the disgust of these European fans.

When I first encountered the interview clip, Yamamoto Ukyo also reminded Zhang Yifei, but was persuaded by the other party.

So this time, even if the consequences were expected, Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto never stopped Zhang Yifei's remarks.

Because compared to the cowardice that has been suppressed, I would rather not accept the arrogance!

In the face of this embarrassing scene off the field, Zhang Yifei had a faint smile on his face at the moment, even happier than he was the runner-up of the sub-station, and was not affected by these boos and whistles in the slightest.

From the moment the words came out, Zhang Yifei knew what situation he would face. But it doesn't matter, what can't be done is called arrogance, and what can be achieved is called self-confidence.

Now that he has come to the runner-up position, it is inevitable to challenge the champion, even if there is no so-called post-match interview, Zhang Yifei has listed Massa as his number one opponent in the next stop.

For the first-class F1 drivers of the future, it's time to play it early.

Last on the stage was the champion Massa, who also stood on the highest podium in the centre, and as in the case of other sporting championships, the national anthem of the driver's nationality will be played.

Massa is a native of São Paulo, Brazil, and naturally the Brazilian national anthem is played, Zhang Yifei stood on the left side of Massa, listening to the accompaniment of the Brazilian national anthem, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

That is, one day, I will let the Chinese national anthem play at the F1 award ceremony, and let today's cold eyes and ridicule become a kind of admiration!
