385 Regret VS Celebration

Fernando Alonso, because of his relatively large head, is affectionately called "head brother" by many Chinese fans.

This is similar to a movie star named Lei Jiayin in later generations, because his head is also relatively large, so he is called "Lei Datou".

But Alonso's nickname has another meaning, that is, the leader, and he is arguably the first driver in the post-Schumacher era to achieve superstar achievement.

Alonso was the youngest F1 champion in history at the time and the youngest double winner. He is also the youngest pole position driver and Grand Prix winner. This record, which has been 200 years in Italy, was broken by Sebastian Vettel.

It can be said that Alonso has a lot of aura and has created a number of F1 historical records, if it were not for Hamilton's sideways, Alonso in one go, it would even be possible to complete the great feat of four consecutive championships.

It's just a pity that Alonso's strength is directly proportional to his temper and complaints.

Any F1 driver is confident and proud, and if you don't have absolute confidence in yourself, you can't be an F1 driver. But there is still a bit of a difference between self-confidence and conceit, let alone Alonso, who thinks highly of himself.

Someone once said that Alonso's strength is destined for him to win two world championships. Alonso's personality also determined that he only won two world titles in the end.

It's because Alonso is really not gregarious and has too much of a complaining mouth, which puts a lot of pressure on the team management. The simplest is the development of new race cars, which requires drivers to give feedback on the track, and for ordinary drivers, it is to point out problems and improve them.

If it were Alonso, it would probably be said: "Why is this car so slow?" ”

"Why is this engine so rubbish?"

"Forget if the power unit lacks power, even the stability?"

These complaints are normal for the average person, but for a professional driver, it makes no sense to say these things.

It's like Zhang Yifei was eaten hard by Montoya, and the thoughts in his heart are also very weak, and this motivation is too weak. Not to mention encountering Ferrari cars, even Williams cars, which are not very good this year, can eat themselves hard?

But after all, Zhang Yifei will not complain again and again in the voice of the team or in interviews with reporters. Because this kind of behavior is meaningless, the Prost team is this kind of financial and technical, you just spew flowers, and you can't spray any Mars rover.

It is because of his personality that it is difficult to get along in the paddock, especially when the strength declines, the large and small teams are a little afraid to ask him, after all, no boss likes to spend money to invite an ancestor back.

Character determines fate, and this sentence is really suitable for Brother Tou.

Alonso's shortcomings are obvious, but the advantages are also obvious, he is a very real and three-dimensional person.

So the people who follow Alonso are very polarised, and those who like him especially admire him, feeling that he has superstar driving skills, that he is a top driver who is calm and can hardly make mistakes on the track.

The people who hate him see the cancer driver who is in the paddock, talking all day long, and even playing with team politics for the sake of victory.

But whether you like it or hate it, you can hack Alonso's character, but no one hacks his skills.

This is the same as Schumacher, "digging corners", "bullying" teammates, crashing and beating people, and doing whatever it takes to win!

If you want to find black spots, it's a lot, but everyone can't deny that Schumacher is a generation of car gods, and his record of seven crowns is unprecedented!

is such a future superstar-level driver, but now he is about to be lapped by himself, Zhang Yifei feels a little incredible.

Jenson Barton and Fernando Alonso, you two world champions, in the opener in Australia, are really a pair of difficult brothers!

Although his heart was full of bizarreness, Zhang Yifei stepped on the accelerator and unceremoniously overtook Alonso.

At the same time, a blue flag began to appear next to the track and wave at Alonso, which was a reminder to Alonso that a car behind him was approaching and preparing to overtake.

Drivers who are shown a blue flag should slow down and give way, or even to the racing line if necessary. If a rider is waved the blue flag three times in a row and has not yet been conscious of the line, that driver will be penalized.

Therefore, the driver who was lapped did not have the "right of way", and Alonso saw the appearance of the blue flag on the track, even if he was extremely unwilling in his heart, he could only slow down and give way at the moment.

However, when he saw the number 13 blue Prost racing car in the rearview mirror, this unwillingness became more and more intense. The other party is just a Chinese newcomer, and he can actually do it on the track and make a ring on himself.

This kind of scene is simply a great shame for the arrogant Alonso.

So even if he just slowed down and gave way, at the moment when Zhang Yifei passed by, he still hung up the neutral gear, and suddenly made the engine roar with a foot of floor oil to express his inner dissatisfaction.

The sound insulation of the helmet is good, but Zhang Yifei can still clearly hear the engine roar from the Alonso car next to him. He knew Alonso's character and knew that this kind of scene would be difficult for him to accept, so he could only use this way to vent his indignation.

But so what, what should be super, or super!

Forty-three laps into the race, there were 22 drivers left on the track, and now only 14 drivers remain.

Jordan's Arnold Trulli suffered an engine failure on lap 3 and had to retire.

Williams' Montoya, after colliding with Zhang Yifei, spent too much time in the pits to repair, causing him to fall far behind.

For an Indy 500 world champion like Montoya, his debut was at the bottom of the rankings, and he was defeated by a Chinese newcomer, which would be a shameful history of his career, so his choice must be to catch up!

In fact, Montoya is really strong and once broke into the top 10.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of the previous impact, or the overly aggressive squeezing engine in the process of catching up, on the 40th lap, Montoya's Williams car also had an engine failure and stalled directly on the track, which could only end in retirement.

Now on the track, even if all the drivers finish the race, Australia's opening race finish rate is in the early 60 percent.

In the face of this completion rate, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as understanding, why Prost's standard is so low many times, as long as he can run the whole course, it is good.

It turns out that this era can run the whole race, which is really good. At least it can confirm that there is no problem with the strength of the driver and the level of the car, and the sponsors are more confident in the future development of the team after seeing it.

The sixth ranking is in line with Zhang Yifei's psychological expectations, but this does not mean that he does not want to hit a higher ranking. In particular, the fifth is his "old rival" - Kimi Raikkonen.

Zhang Yifei has always regarded defeating Kimi as his primary goal, but because of the previous crash, he was forced to implement the three-stop tactic of heavy oil.

And Kimi Raikkonen also realized that this Chinese kid would not give up so well. So during the period of time when he was leading, he almost played his best, and didn't want to give Zhang Yifei any chance to catch up.

In the third pit stop, Zhang Yifei cooperated with the team of technicians to exchange the super soft tires with the fastest efficiency, intending to try to catch up with Kimi Raikkonen in the remaining ten laps.

The ten seconds when the car crashed were too critical, and more importantly, Zhang Yifei did not crush Kimi Raikkonen's strength. When the other party went all out, coupled with the performance advantage of McLaren's car, even if Zhang Yifei was chasing after more than ten laps, he had already caught up with his life.

In the end, when the black and white checkered flag appeared on the track, Zhang Yifei only saw Kimi Raikkonen's taillights.

The first battle of the Twin Stars in the eyes of the outside world ended in Zhang Yifei's defeat.

In the final ranking, Zhang Yifei was still sixth, and the starting order of the qualifying race did not drop, and during the race, Zhang Yifei also showed a lot of wonderful overtaking pictures. Even in the duel with Montoya, Zhang Yifei also showed the rare bloody and tough nature of Asian drivers.

From this point of view alone, Zhang Yifei can be regarded as honorable despite defeat, which is enough for him to win the applause and cheers of some audiences at the scene.

"Zhang Yifei, you ran beautifully, you have added glory to the Chinese racing car!"

"Ranked sixth, get points in the first stop, Zhang Yifei, you don't lose to Kimi Raikkonen!"

“good! As I am optimistic about the rookie driver Fei, he will definitely become the next new star in the racing world! ”

At the same time, the team's congratulatory voice also came from the headset, and Prost, as the boss, was the first to speak: "Fei, the results are very good, you played impeccable today." ”

Henry also opened his mouth to congratulate: "Fei, we will hold a big party for you tonight to celebrate your victory!" ”

"Yifei-kun, I performed very well today, and I will definitely be on the podium next time!"

Yamamoto Ukyo's excited voice also came, and even next to him, he could hear Ah Hu's ghost shouting and screaming.

Listening to these congratulations, Zhang Yifei said thank you a few times, and then he looked at the spectator stands and saw the supporters who were cheering for him.

At this moment, the regret and loss in my heart seemed to disappear in an instant. Instead of acting so frustrated, you should show optimism to repay the supporters who cheered and congratulated you.

Because they came to Australia thousands of miles away to cheer for themselves.

It is also them, with the expectation and glory of the motherland, who have given themselves great spiritual support.

More importantly, it is these people who have made China red appear on the F1 track, and from now on, the F1 track is no longer someone else's game!
