662 The Man Who Happened (Chapter 2)
Zhang Yifei took Sophia to the bay of Rio de Janeiro, which borders the Atlantic Ocean and is the most famous tourist attraction in Rio, and you can even see the famous statue of Jesus on the top of the hill in the distance.
And on the Gulf Highway, there is also a 13.7-kilometer-long Nitroi Sea Bridge. Just like the Gulf Coast of Japan, Brazil has built its own underground racing "Gulf Shoreline" with the help of the sea bridge, and it is also the largest underground racing route in South America.
However, compared with the Japanese underground drivers, who all gather in the underground garage or the Daikoku PA parking lot in a low-key manner, the street riders in Brazil at midnight are much more arrogant, directly parking their cars on both sides of the road, without considering the police jurisdiction and other issues.
This is also the characteristic of many countries in South America, the scene of Hong Kong films that is in charge of the errand during the day and I have the final say after 12 o'clock at night, South American countries can really achieve it, and even many slums do not have the turn of the police to speak day and night.
Compared with the scene where drug trafficking is fine, it is not illegal to drive an underground car at all, just stop on both sides of the road at midnight. It's not an exceptional case, and the Brazilian police don't want to get into trouble either, and these are performance cars that don't necessarily catch up.
Even if you can catch up, if you drive into a slum, do you say it's better to chase it in, or not to chase it? The most straightforward choice is to be out of sight and out of mind, anyway, in cities with poor public security, there are few "good people" who will wander around outside in the middle of the night.
There are dozens of sports cars parked on both sides of the road, and the scale is not as good as the Japanese Gulf Coast Line, but in terms of noise, it is like a party, and there is no such serious underground racing car and the posture of pursuing the speed limit of the Waigi Honki group, which is purely a group of people who come to play.
And in addition to the drivers, there were no fewer women present, and even some were dressed very cool and hot. Although at this point in time, the southern hemisphere has already moved towards the direction of summer, but the temperature at night is still relatively low, and the Latin girls are not afraid of the cold?
Sophia's car obviously has a high status here, and when Zhang Yifei hasn't driven over, there are already many people waving and whistling here, and it's obvious that it's not the first time she's here.
However, it is not surprising that Sophia is not a good female personality in the first place, and most South Americans are more wild and unrestrained. And there are so many luxury cars in the house, and they are not professional drivers, so they can only play in the street circle.
This point is actually the same as the type of underground racing on Hong Kong Island, there are not many real drivers, most of them are some Hong Kong Island rich second-generation cars.
But when this group of people saw that it was not Sophia sitting in the driver's seat, but a strange man, many people's faces changed, and even showed a kind of hostility.
"Fei, are you afraid of getting into trouble tonight?"
Looking at the changes in the emotions around her, Sophia asked Zhang Yifei with a playful expression, wanting to hear his state of mind at the moment.
"As long as I don't use a gun, I can afford to play."
Zhang Yifei replied very calmly, as long as the group of gangster-level drivers on the scene don't use their guns, don't say that one can hit ten, at least one can hit five!
Because everywhere Zhang Yifei's eyes went, this group of people was not surprised, and they basically had the feeling of being full of pornography, gambling and drugs. How to compare with a professional driver like himself who insists on physical training all year round, one punch is not a problem!
"You're confident."
Sophia said with interest, to be honest, before she met Zhang Yifei, she did not have a good impression of Chinese, or yellow people. In fact, there are many Japanese immigrants and descendants in Brazil, but they do not dare to come to the bridge at night, let alone face so many hostile eyes.
But from Zhang Yifei, there is no fear in sight, and there is an incomparable self-confidence.
That's why Sophia loves to stay with him, that indescribable sense of security!
"Strength dictates."
Zhang Yifei unceremoniously admitted this, many things are to prevent gentlemen and villains, the more this environment, the more low-key people will be considered weak. On the contrary, the more arrogant and arrogant, the more respectful and fearful the other party is.
However, there is no need for Zhang Yifei to show arrogance, under the illumination of the street lights, many people already recognize who Zhang Yifei is, after all, the previous Brazilian Grand Prix almost set a record for F1 racing ratings in previous years after Senna.
The average Brazilian knows that there is such a Chinese kid who has defeated two of their strongest drivers, not to mention those who are still in the racing circle.
"Is it a Chinese driver flying in the car?"
A Brazilian underground driver asked the people around him.
Just as many people in China are face blind and can't tell what Westerners look like, in fact, many foreigners are also the same. Especially on this occasion, it is always a little strange to see Zhang Yifei appear suddenly.
"It should be the Chinese driver Fei, why did he come here with Sophia, is he here to provoke?"
"The Chinese guy is really kind, aren't you afraid that we will kill him?"
"To be honest, I really kind of admire the rider Fei, at least in terms of courage, there are very few people who can take him lightly."
As Zhang Yifei drove all the way, more and more Brazilian street riders began to discuss and confirm his identity.
Even some Latin girls began to scream after seeing Zhang Yifei: "OH~~! ”
"Fly, you're the super driver in my heart!"
“HI! Look here, riders fly! ”
In fact, people's minds will change, and when Zhang Yifei was in the Brazilian Grand Prix, he may have been much despised or even hostile to him. But with the end of the whole season, his strength has been shown, coupled with his young and domineering image, which has actually attracted the attention of many fans, especially some women!
Just like Kimi Raikkonen conquered the fan girl in the car world with his handsomeness, Zhang Yifei is also the same, and has one more achievement!
And seriously speaking, Zhang Yifei has no inextricable mortal enmity with the Brazilian driver, let alone publicly insulted Brazil, it is nothing more than winning or losing on the track. So it's no surprise that you have some Latina fans now.
"Aren't you happy that so many beautiful women are cheering for you?"
Sophia listened to the screaming outside, turned sideways towards Zhang Yifei, and asked him in a playful tone.
"I don't feel it."
Zhang Yifei replied calmly, it may be the influence of traditional Chinese thinking, this kind of boldness, he really doesn't feel much. Maybe Sophia's limit of playing with fire but not burning herself is already the upper limit of his acceptance.
"This time I believe that after all, you are an emotionless racing machine!"
Sophia's words made Zhang Yifei look at her unexpectedly, she knows all her own mantras, so is there any privacy!
"By the way, didn't you say someone wanted to see me? Who the hell is it? ”
Zhang Yifei was not interested in racing with these Brazilian street drivers, the only thing that made him a little curious was the person who wanted to meet him.
"It's right ahead, and you'll see it in no time."
Hearing this, Zhang Yifei could only continue to drive forward, and after driving through the noisy road, it was much quieter in an instant. There are also a few cars parked at the starting point of the bridge in front, and it is obvious that the price of the car is much higher, and it seems that this is the real protagonist.
But when Zhang Yifei drove the Dodge Viper over, he was shocked when he saw one of the faces. Because this person is none other than the last top Brazilian driver who once fought against him in Formula Renault - Philippe Massa!
The person Sophia said wanted to see herself, was Massa?
Facing Zhang Yifei's surprised eyes looking at her, Sophia nodded and confirmed this matter.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhang Yifei got out of the car, and Sophia did not follow this time, but gave him a little space with Massa.
"You want to see me?"
Zhang Yifei asked straight to the point.
To be honest, seeing Massa again, the feeling inside him was amazing. When he first met Massa in Formula Renault, he even felt like he had seen Schumacher in the F1 paddock.
After all, this is the first time he has come to this world to face the famous drivers of later generations, and there is an idol and star effect.
But this time, he didn't feel that way, and it wasn't just that he had defeated the other party. It's about seeing too many famous drivers in the future, and they're already numb and used to it. And Zhang Yifei himself has integrated into this world, and there is no sense of estrangement.
"Hmm."
Massa nodded.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me?"
It's still extremely direct, and the dialogue between the drivers shouldn't be grinding, this is not Zhang Yifei's style, and he believes that it is not Massa's character.
"I want to test the car with Prost."
Hearing Massa's words, Zhang Yifei was once again surprised. Because going to the team for a test drive is almost equivalent to expressing Massa's willingness to join the Prost team.
Seriously, Zhang Yifei never imagined that Massa would take the initiative to express that he wanted to join the Prost team, did he want to be his teammate?
"Yes, you can contact the Prost team."
Zhang Yifei replied, he is just a driver, and he doesn't care about the test car, what is the use of Massa telling himself this?
"Prost has delayed its test plans and Sofia says the team already has a number two driver target and it's been chosen by you, so I want to talk to you."
Has BOSS delayed the commissioning program?
Zhang Yifei really doesn't know this, after all, at the team management level, he never interferes, unless it is Pros who asks for his own opinion.
So this is the Prost team has no test plan, so Massa directly approached himself, a direct relative?
"Why do you want to join Team Prost?"
Zhang Yifei asked, this is also the biggest doubt in his heart at present, it stands to reason that he and Massa used to be opponents, and he should not be interested in the Prost team.
