779 Dreams come true
Back at the hotel, the crew members entered a state of relaxation, and the more important the race was, the more important it was to ensure that their mentality was calm and not affected by pressure.
The simplest example, like the technician of the maintenance team, if his hand shakes a little when he enters the pit stop to change the tire due to heavy pressure, the consequences of a delay of one or two seconds are unimaginable.
However, Zhang Yifei and Kossell came to the hotel conference room, and he was very curious about what the old German man wanted to say to him.
"Fly, pole position lap, is it really out these days?"
Hearing Cosell's question, Zhang Yifei made waves in his heart, in fact, he knew that he was in the East China Sea Grand Prix, and a series of abnormal lap times would eventually cause many people to be puzzled and puzzled.
Especially for the members of the professional crew, it is unimaginable that even Schumacher passively threw off the extreme gap of 0.5 seconds and 1 second from the beginning of the practice session.
It is impossible to make others not doubt something that is unreasonable in itself. It's just that Zhang Yifei didn't expect that Kossel would question himself at this point in time, he thought that the old German man would not be able to help it after the game.
It seems that this year's pole position lap time is indeed a bit appalling, a bit of a shock to Kossel's professional experience.
"It's been run in the past few days, but for the East China Sea Circuit, it's not familiar these days."
Zhang Yifei replied with a calm expression, the secret of the previous life will never be known to the second person.
So for the occurrence of this situation, Zhang Yifei has actually been prepared for a long time, and it is nothing more than to say an excuse.
"What do you mean?"
Kossel didn't understand that the Donghai International Circuit was a brand new track, and Zhang Yifei was also a follower team to compete in the event, how could he be familiar with it in advance?
"Kossel, don't forget, I still have the identity of the spokesperson of the East China Sea Grand Prix, and I have already come here to take promotional photos as early as last year when the East China Sea Circuit was initially finalized."
"I was the first professional driver to stand on the Tokai circuit, so to speak."
Zhang Yifei's words are really not an excuse, he has already come to the Donghai Circuit last year, when the main track has been built, and the surrounding facilities and stands are still under construction, otherwise he would not have been able to join this year's F1 calendar so quickly.
Of course, it's one thing to come in advance, it's another thing to run over, Zhang Yifei is purely confusing the concept.
Obviously, this kind of statement could not impress Coser, and he asked again with a little surprise: "It's just that you've been to the Tokai Circuit, can you do such meticulous control and accurate routing?" ”
"I'm not just here to say I've been there, I've been running on this track in a junior Formula car."
There is no way, Zhang Yifei also knows that there is absolutely no way to get through the trick by looking at the words, so he can only make up a story and say that he has run away.
After all, this kind of thing can't be verified, as long as it's not too outrageous, Cosell can accept it in the end.
"Formula Junior has run? Why don't you say Formula 1 has been run? ”
Korsell also vaguely felt that Zhang Yifei was a bit of a nonsense, and he vaguely felt that there was another reason.
It has to be said that this keen intuition is the key to Kossel's ability to become a top team engineer. It's just that what happened to Zhang Yifei is too bizarre, and it has surpassed the thinking concept of normal people, no matter what Cosell thinks, it is impossible to think that he has traveled to this world, right?
"Because there are no Formula 1 cars in China."
Zhang Yifei replied helplessly, he wanted to say that he had used a Formula 1 car to train privately on the East China Sea Circuit.
It's just that at that time last year, the whole of China couldn't find a single F1 car, even if you make up a story, you have to consider the basic logic.
Faced with Zhang Yifei's words, Korsell suddenly didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, this is indeed the most reasonable reason, otherwise how can Zhang Yifei have such an unreasonable ability to dominate the track?
But can relying on primary formula to familiarize yourself with the routing achieve the effect of simulating Formula 1 training?
"Is it really just a junior formula car?"
"Otherwise, I can't find an F1 team sponsorship, otherwise would I still have to join Prost last year?"
At this point, Corell knew that no matter how much he asked, it was pointless.
"Fei, you have the potential to be as good as Senna, and I hope I can see the miracle of not losing to Senna tomorrow."
After all, Cowel still agreed with Zhang Yifei's statement, whether it was run in advance on the East China Sea Circuit, or whether it was a junior formula car, in fact, it didn't matter except for answering the doubts in his heart.
And in this era, there is no shame in private training, the reason why the Big Three teams can be far ahead is not unrelated to the fact that they have the money to let the drivers train privately on various tracks, this is Zhang Yifei's home field, even if he uses some means that he does not know, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Because no matter what way is used, this is achieved by Zhang Yifei with his own efforts and talents, and it belongs to him.
"Kossel, tomorrow's game, I'm going to win."
At this time, Zhang Yifei didn't have that joking attitude, but replied very seriously, his eyes were full of hope for victory!
On Saturday, October 26th, the sky over the Tokai Circuit was still gloomy in late autumn and early winter.
It's just that the gloomy weather can't stop the enthusiasm of the spectators, facing the pressure of tens of thousands of waiting spectators outside the practice arena. The organizers of the Donghai Circuit opened the open space on the track overnight, allowing the audience to reach an astonishing 250,000!
And on the periphery of the track, two giant monitors were also erected, so that the audience who really had no way to enter the stadium could also feel the picture of the Chinese drivers speeding on the track.
I have to say that the organizers' response is very correct, because even if the main race opens 50,000 temporary spectator seats, it still can't relieve the pressure of fans from all over the country.
The main reason is that Zhang Yifei's pole lap time is too shocking, and most people dare to confidently believe that Zhang Yifei will become the champion of the East China Sea Circuit and the first Chinese world champion in F1 history!
And this game will also be broadcast live by CCTV nationwide, and it is estimated that it will not be less than 300 million viewers in China alone. And because it is the final battle, coupled with Zhang Yifei's amazing outbreak, he has crushed Schumacher and set off a ratings frenzy around the world!
The status of the Monaco Grand Prix as the ratings king is challenged by the East China Sea Grand Prix, and even a kind of crushing. According to the estimates of various data agencies before the race, the global viewership of this East China Sea Grand Prix may exceed 1.5 billion, becoming the highest viewership in F1 history!
Everywhere in the stands, many people and friends who were familiar with Zhang Yifei were also present, such as Qin Hong of the Guangshen Seven Star Racing Team, members of the Hong Kong Island underground team, as well as Xie Tiancheng and Zhou Yunhui and others.
There are also some students led by Wang Glasses, who also came to the East China Sea audience together through various contact methods, after all, it is also an honor for a world champion-level F1 driver to appear among the former classmates.
Without exception, these people did not choose to disturb Zhang Yifei, but just sat in the audience, silently cheering for him, hoping that he could fulfill his original dream.
Even Zhang Zhiguo and Lu Ningping sat silently in the crowd, waiting for the moment of glory to come.
"Lao Zhang, I'm still dreaming like I'm dreaming, I really didn't expect that one day, I could sit on the scene and watch our Chinese drivers compete for the world championship."
Lu Ningping listened to the hustle and bustle in his ears, even if he had already seen Zhang Yifei in Guangshen, he had long been looking forward to the arrival of this championship battle. When I actually came to the scene in the East China Sea, I still had an unreal feeling like a dream.
The picture that they used to dare to imagine in the older generation of drivers in their lives appeared in front of their eyes today.
At this moment, I can really see that on my home track, listening to the cheers of the audience, cheering for the Chinese drivers!
"yes, I didn't expect that this driver was still my son."
In addition to the trance in Zhang Zhi's Chinese tone, there is also a trace of pride that cannot be concealed, and being able to come to the scene in person and watch his son compete for the world championship is his proudest moment as a father!
"Lao Zhang, today we can meet this kid Yifei, fulfill our dream, and fulfill the dream of the older generation of Chinese drivers, right?"
Lu Ningping asked a little apprehensively, he might be more nervous than Zhang Yifei at this moment.
"Old Lu, do you not believe in your apprentice, or do you not believe in my son?"
"He's going to win the championship today!"
On the contrary, before Zhang Zhiguo came to the scene, he directly dried a bottle of Erguotou, and his courage was much more than that of Lu Ningping.
"People are old, and they are cowardly! That's right, I will definitely win the championship today! ”
Lu Ningping is also a pride in coming, after all, he is the former Chinese car king, and the momentum of the foundation is still there.
In the VIP viewing room, Sofia and her father Diniz stood in front of the glass curtain wall, and the scene outside the window was the busy Prost pit stop before the game.
"Still watching the fly?"
Diniz asked at this time, as a father, he didn't say it before, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know his daughter's thoughts in his heart.
Sophia didn't speak, but her actions had acquiesced to the statement.
"Fei is a very good driver, but not necessarily a good partner and husband."
"He's just like Senna, racing is the most important thing in his life, and women are secondary."
Diniz can become a huge rich man in Brazil, and he is much better than Sofia in terms of waiting and watching people's hearts.
He knew that Zhang Yifei was very good, but he had never matched them, and even more as business partners, because he saw what Zhang Yifei wanted to pursue in his bones.
Sophia has the hotness and wildness of a Latin girl, but she also needs the unrestrained and romantic of America.
The marriage of the Brazilian Senna is the best example of the past, coupled with Zhang Yifei's attitude of never taking the initiative, Diniz feels that maybe this Chinese boy is not the most suitable man for Sophia, even if he is indeed very good.
"I just want to see him become a World Champion today."
Sophia replied that she can wander on the edge of playing with fire out of control, proving that her emotional intelligence is very high, and she doesn't need to be reminded by her father, she is also very clear.
What she admires most about Zhang Yifei is not his appearance or personality, but his unstoppable state in the game.
So today she didn't think about how to be with Zhang Yifei, she really just wanted to witness his performance on the track and witness him stand on the top podium.
Only Zhang Yifei, who is wearing a racing suit and holding the championship trophy high, is the most handsome moment in Sophia's heart!
"Okay, I hope you can see it."
"I can definitely see it, because he is Fei, a man who works miracles!"
