The venue of Renault's press conference was set up in the press conference hall of the Park Hyatt Vendôme in Paris, and when Zhang Yifei arrived, the scene was already crowded. These are European journalists invited by Renault to use their hands to promote the Formula Renault series.

At this time, a Renault staff member stepped forward and led Zhang Yifei and Kosell to a special lounge. He will wait here for the press conference to take his seat on the podium as a representative of the drivers, and accept questions and interviews with reporters with Renault's event operation department.

"Cosell, what do you say these reporters are going to ask me?"

Zhang Yifei sat on the sofa and asked Korsell next to him, he had never experienced this kind of scene before, and he really had no experience.

"Ask us how you feel about the Renault race, and then you can just say a few nice words."

The protagonists of these press conferences are not the drivers, but mainly Renault to promote their own development plans.

So the focus of the questions will not be on the drivers, at most they will say two words, and then the party will be the focus of today.

"I see."

Zhang Yifei nodded, probably to make himself a mud bodhisattva on the stage, and it was quite simple to brag about a few words of Renault when answering.

About ten minutes later, a Renault staff knocked on the door and came in, informing Zhang Yifei that the press conference was about to start and that he could go to the press room.

Hearing this notice, Zhang Yifei also stood up and walked out of the lounge, and under the leadership of this staff member, he went to the hotel's press conference room.

When I came to the backstage passage of the press room, there was already a group of people waiting to appear, led by a middle-aged French man, who happened to be introduced in the information given by Junko Takeda, this person was Carlos Ghosn, vice president of Renault Group.

The specifications of the press conference are so high, even the vice president of the group came?

Zhang Yifei muttered in his heart, Formula Renault can only be regarded as a very small part of the Renault Group, and under normal circumstances, the event part is specifically responsible.

This kind of press conference to promote the event, it is very difficult to come up at the level of vice president, so he felt very strange and surprised.

However, this kind of decision of Renault's top management is not something that Zhang Yifei, an outsider, can understand, anyway, he feels that he is just making up a number, and it has little to do with him.

But Zhang Yifei soon discovered that there was an "acquaintance" of his own at the other end of the exit channel, and he was one of his opponents on the track, Robert Kubica!

Unexpectedly, there was more than one driver representative today, and Kubica was also in attendance.

However, it is normal to think about it, Kubica is currently Renault's official test driver, has a close relationship with Renault, and is one of the seeded players in this European Cup, so it is reasonable to invite him over.

Kubica naturally saw Zhang Yifei, and the eyes of the two people looked at each other, and there was a hint of gunpowder. After all, Kubica regards Zhang Yifei as his number one enemy, and Zhang Yifei surpassed him at the beginning, and this kind of failure and humiliation Kubica has not forgotten.

But soon this eye contact was interrupted, and the staff informed Zhang Yifei to follow behind Renault's management and walk out of the passage.

Walking through the passage and standing on the rostrum of the press conference hall, Zhang Yifei saw that there were already hundreds of reporters sitting in the audience.

After they saw Renault's management come out, they pointed the camera in their hands at the rostrum, and the flash flashed non-stop.

With so many reporters and dense flashlights, Zhang Yifei was stunned, but he quickly calmed down, in front of so many reporters, he couldn't be ashamed, and he had to put on a posture!

So he put on a calm and calm look, sat down at the place with his name written on it, and then looked ahead with his head held high.

After everyone was seated, the staff of the Renault Race Operations Department began to introduce the development of the Formula Renault series, some future plans and so on. At the same time, a wave of current Formula Renault results was promoted, indicating that it has surpassed the old Formula Ford to become the most influential formula car in the world.

When Zhang flew in, he already had the bottom of his mind, but soon something unexpected happened, that is, Renault vice president Carlos Ghosn announced that Renault had completed the acquisition of Benetton and would soon return to F1.

The news was tantamount to dropping a depth charge, and the reporters in the audience went crazy in an instant, wanting to ask about the details of the acquisition and the future plans of the Renault F1 team.

When he saw this scene, Zhang Yifei finally remembered that the history of the Benetton team was acquired by Renault in 2000, but it still retained its original name to participate in the 2001 season, until 02 years, the team was officially changed to Renault team, and the Benetton team has become history.

It's no wonder that there will be a VP level present at this press conference today, it turns out that the real focus is Renault's return to F1!

The focus of the next questions is about the acquisition of Renault, and it is obvious that Renault also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the influence of its F1 team, and basically answered the reporter's questions in detail.

As the clock wore on, the press conference finally came to an end, and it was the turn of the two Formula Renault driver representatives to ask questions.

In fact, the reporters also understood that the driver representatives were not the focus of the press conference, so as if going through the motions, they asked Kubica a few regular questions. It's just that I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and none of the reporters asked Zhang Yifei.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Yifei vaguely felt a little unhappy in his heart, which was obviously ignoring himself. Unexpectedly, they have already won the championship, and the mainstream European racing media still haven't accepted themselves as a Chinese driver.

But in this case, Zhang Yifei can only endure it, anyway, he just makes up a number, and it doesn't make much sense to say two words of nonsense.

But at this moment, a reporter stood up and suddenly asked a sharp question: "Mr. Kubica, have you read Driver Fei's response to your accusation of dangerous driving?" What do you have to say about this? ”

When Zhang Yifei "whitewashed" the interview before, he responded to Kubica's accusation of dangerous overtaking, and Zhang Yifei held his stomach at that time and answered very arrogantly, almost not naming Kubika as a coward who was afraid of being overtaken.

When the later interview report came out, it also caused a great sensation, which directly reversed Zhang Yifei's personal image. It also turned Kubika's accusations into jokes, and some even quoted Zhang Yifei and ridiculed Kubika for only deserving to look up at the podium.

The staff of the Renault racing department glanced at Kubica, and this kind of obviously war-provoking question should either be skipped or just say a few kind words.

Kubika's face at the moment can be gloomy dripping water, this is Zhang Yifei's humiliation of himself, and it is also the scar in Kubika's heart, which is now being uncovered in public.

At this time, he glanced at Zhang Yifei, but found that the other party didn't care at all, and even looked at himself with playful eyes.

That's right! Zhang Yifei didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his original remarks, and when Kubica felt humiliated, did he consider how much impact his remarks would have on his career?

Repaying grievances with virtue has never been Zhang Yifei's style, and repaying grievances with direct is the concept he believes in.

Zhang Yifei's behavior instantly made Kubica's new hatred and old hatred come to his heart, and he picked up the microphone and replied: "That's just his quibble!" ”

"Fei's malicious overtaking completely disregarded the safety of other drivers, which caused almost everyone to be dissatisfied at the time, otherwise why would so many drivers jointly testify?"

When Kubika said this, the atmosphere at the scene began to change, and this kind of public accusation at the press conference is still rare. Especially tonight, there is a Renault party, Zhang Yifei does not explain and clarify, it will have a negative impact on the team's communication in the evening.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, do you have anything to say about Mr. Kubika's remarks?"

"Cowards like to make excuses for themselves."

Zhang Yifei replied lightly, unaffected.

"Who do you say is a coward!"

Kubika exploded directly this time, and Zhang Yifei was more and more indifferent and light-hearted, which made him feel a kind of contemptuous humiliation, as if the other party did not regard himself as an opponent at all.

"But it's not Kubica who is blaming, the other drivers are also arguing."

The reporter grasped the key point and wanted to hear how Zhang Yifei faced the anger of the public?

"I'm sorry, I'm not targeting Kubica, I'm saying it's all cowards."

When Zhang Yifei said this, the entire press conference hall instantly fell silent, and even Kubica, who was originally excited and angry on the stage, looked at Zhang Yifei with a little surprise.

Is there something wrong with this kid's head, he simply offended all the Renault drivers this year.

Even the Renault management on the stage looked at each other, and originally just invited two Renault Formula cars to come over and play a demonstration role in the good operation of the Renault race, but they didn't expect this kind of scene to happen.

And this Chinese driver Fei is also a little too arrogant, I'm afraid that no driver in the history of formula racing dares to say that, right?

After a short silence, it was like water dripping into a pan of oil, and the reporters at the scene were all blown up.

"May I ask Mr. Zhang Yifei, are you despising your opponents for participating?"

"Driver Fei, do you think your remarks are too arrogant?"

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, have you ever considered the impact of this remark, and even triggered other drivers to fight back against you?"

All kinds of questions poured in, and Renault staff saw that the situation was not right, and prepared to end the press conference and invite Zhang Yifei and them back to the backstage lounge.

But at this time, Zhang Yifei stood up and said in an indifferent tone: "I don't despise any opponents, on the contrary, I respect those brave people on the track!" ”

"If you want to win me, just have a fair duel on the track, it's useless to rely on more people, because there is always only one champion!"
