205 I Say I Do It (Chapter 1)
"That's right, Yi Feijun broke the lap record in Formula Junior on the track, and he will be the holder of the Renault record at Hockenheim!"
Yamamoto Ukyo is also very excited, he once came to Europe for Junko Takeda, but now he also wants to see if Zhang Yifei can stand at the pinnacle of world racing!
"Phineas has finally done it, Champion!"
"That's right, Yifei won the championship!"
Ah Hu and Chen Zhi were equally excited, although this was just the beginning, but for everyone, it was the first peak to be conquered.
"Brother, it seems that your vision is really right, Yifei is the champion."
He Ziling took out her mobile phone and silently sent a text message to He Lang, who was far away in Yanjing, wanting to share the joy of this championship with him.
The only thing that was calm was Korcel, who only had a faint smile on his face the moment the black and white checkered flag appeared on the track, and then regained his composure.
Because the junior formula championship is really not a rare thing for him, any driver in the F1 team, even if it is only the third driver or test driver, has not won eight or ten race championships, and he is really embarrassed to go out to say hello to others.
But Korsell also knows what this title means for an Asian driver, especially a Chinese rider.
It means that this is their first Formula European title, and it means that they finally have a driver who can compete with the top European drivers. It means that Zhang Yifei has been ridiculed and despised in the past, at least part of it can be returned today.
On the track, Zhang Yifei waved his hands to celebrate, and then drove the car to the celebration area. Here you will feel the cheers and applause of the audience more intuitively, and be interviewed by reporters.
And, of course, most importantly, to be on the winner's podium!
The second-place driver, who also surprised many, was Dixon, who had been chasing Kubica closely.
Because Kubica finally rushed off the track, putting Dicks in second place, but it wasn't really a slip or anything.
Many people think that Kubica rushed out of the track in order to catch up with Zhang Yifei, who was accelerating earlier.
But in fact, at that time, Zhang Yifei had already opened a significant gap with Kubikara, unless Zhang Yifei made a major mistake, it was impossible to catch up with the gap of three or four seconds in the last lap.
If Zhang Yifei is like this, he can't open the gap of three or four seconds at all, so in a sense, it is a refutation.
So the real reason is that Kubica felt Dixon's chase, which caused him a lot of mental pressure. The last stop was also overtaken by an unknown Chinese kid and ended up not on the podium.
At this stop, I don't know where a rookie driver appeared, and he could follow so closely after 30 minutes of racing, and he was on the verge of overtaking at one point. If it weren't for Kubica's rich experience in racing and the fact that he didn't dare to underestimate any newcomers, he might have been overtaken by Dixon a long time ago.
Kubica can't tolerate being surpassed by an unknown rookie for two consecutive stops, which is why he is so radical and impulsive.
It's just that his luck, or strength, is not as good as Zhang Yifei, and the car rushed off the track on the last lap, resulting in no way to finish the race.
The third-place driver was not his "old acquaintance" Suarez from the previous race, and he was overtaken by Makina from Massa in the final stage.
Compared with Dixon, a newcomer, Makina is also a strong contender for the overall title of this Renault European Cup. It's just that his light before was overshadowed by Massa, Kubica, and even Zhang Yifei.
This is the case with competitive sports, where most of the time the light only shines on the champion. Even if it is the second place or third place, it can only be regarded as a foil, let alone the driver who has to go behind. Many times, they don't even mention their names.
The three of them stopped at the celebration track, and many reporters and spectators immediately surrounded them, Zhang Yifei took off his helmet, and then looked at the cheering audience with a smile.
At this time, try to show an indifferent smile, express a temperament that is not shocked, and when it is time to pretend to be forced, you must not let the limelight be robbed!
"Zhang Yifei, champion!"
"The first Chinese formula champion, Zhang Yifei come on!"
"The strongest rider in this stop flys, the record maker on the track!"
"GOOD, Rider Fly!"
All kinds of screams sounded, in addition to Zhang Yifei's familiar native language, there were many foreign fans who gave Zhang Yifei a thumbs up.
After all, as a rookie driver, and also from a country like China, where the racing foundation is zero, winning the Formula European championship is a challenge in itself.
Not to mention that Zhang Yifei also completed a hat trick and broke the track record, which is completely unimaginable and tough.
Strength is the common language on the track, which has nothing to do with race, nationality, or culture, Zhang Yifei began to use his strength to conquer the European audience.
At the same time, the reporters all rushed to Zhang Yifei, unlike the pre-game interview, this time Zhang Yifei is the absolute protagonist, and no one can hide his light!
The first to squeeze in was an old acquaintance, the official reporter of the Renault event, Ina, who can be said to have witnessed Zhang Yifei's step-by-step improvement and came to the position of today's champion, so Ina was also a little excited.
"Fei, first of all, congratulations on winning the Hockenheim championship, how do you feel at the moment?"
Zhang Yifei took the microphone and said to Ina with a smile: "The impression is that I do what I say, and I have already won the championship of Hockenheim." ”
Before the game, Zhang Yifei told the media that he would definitely win the championship in Hockenheim.
At that time, the vast majority of people thought that this was Zhang Yifei's wild words, and almost no one believed that Zhang Yifei could really do all this.
At this moment, Zhang Yifei was finally able to confidently announce that he was not lying, and I won the championship!
Zhang Yifei's words came out, and the crowd burst into warm applause, many people have watched Zhang Yifei's pre-game interview, and they also don't believe Zhang Yifei's "wild words".
But now Zhang Yifei has proved what he said with the championship, and these applause are an affirmation and apology for him!
Ina was also impressed with admiration on her face at the moment, and to be honest, she didn't believe it during the interview, but the champion was already standing in front of her.
Just as Ina was about to continue asking, another reporter had already spoken before her.
"Fei, as far as we know, this is the first Formula European championship title for a Chinese driver. It's just a race win, but it's history, and what do you have to say about that? ”
"There's nothing in particular I want to say, it's just the beginning, and then it's going to be the norm."
Zhang Yifei replied very calmly, without the excitement of creating history at all.
In fact, unlike the current calmness and calmness, when Zhang Yifei first saw the black and white checkered flag, he was very excited in his heart.
But soon Zhang Yifei calmed down, the junior formula championship is not a very amazing result, and there is still a championship on it.
There are also higher F3, F3000 and even the highest level of F1 and so on.
Therefore, the Chinese driver who does not do it is like having never seen the world, and the champion of a sub-station is excited, making some ill-intentioned people think that their vision is like this.
The weaker the momentum, the more the momentum can not be weakened, the sub-station championship is just a beginning for Zhang Yifei, his goal is far more than that.
"You mean that winning the championship will become the norm in the next sub-events?"
The reporter hurriedly asked, and sure enough, as reported by the media before, this Chinese kid is as arrogant as ever.
"It's not a big deal for you to understand it that way."
Of course, Zhang Yifei knew what the reporter was thinking, and he also understood that he was digging a hole for himself by asking such a question.
But so what? The championship of each next station is Zhang Yifei's goal, and there is nothing to hide.
It can be said that even if it is not him Zhang Yifei who answers this question today, but Massa, Kubica, or any driver who has the strength to compete for the championship, the answer is what is.
At the same time, there was a shout from the celebratory audience.
"Fei, you're so arrogant, but I like it so much!"
Hearing this shout, the tense atmosphere of the interview instantly relaxed.
Zhang Yifei glanced at the source of the voice, and then said into the microphone: "Brother has taste, but if you are a girl, I will be happier." ”
This sentence caused a burst of laughter, because the fan who shouted at Zhang Yifei that I liked so much was a foreign man with a long beard and five big and three thick.
may be because of the disturbance of this kind of unexpected incident, which diluted Zhang Yifei's "arrogance" a lot.
Whether it is an interview or an answer, it is not so-for-tat, but a relaxed atmosphere.
After the interview, the three drivers finished on the podium in turn.
Third was Makina, who stood on top with a smile on his face and waved in celebration.
Without too much joy or the same unconvincing Suarez at Monza, third place was not a good result for a well-known team like Mano, and their ambitions certainly didn't stop there.
The second is the dark horse Dixon, who is a British individual pay-to-win rider who had a mediocre performance in the last race and suddenly became the runner-up.
However, he stood on the podium expressionlessly, just waved his hand twice mechanically, and then remained motionless.
This kind of performance made Zhang Yifei a little surprised, he won the runner-up in the last stop, and he faked two laughs in the face of the ridicule of the audience, but this kid was completely unmoved.
To describe it in an Internet word in later generations, this kid is simply a Sima face, does it mean that he doesn't care about the runner-up at all, and the goal is only the championship?
This kid is simply more inflated than me, Zhang Yifei muttered in his heart, although he was not satisfied with winning the runner-up, he was definitely not to the point of disgust.
The last person on the podium was Zhang Yifei, who stood at the top of the center.
The last stop was Massa, when Zhang Yifei stood to the left of the champion, listening to the accompaniment of the Brazilian national anthem.
But this time it was different, on the electronic LED screen behind Zhang Yifei, a bright red flag appeared, and the audience was silent, and the familiar sound of the national anthem accompaniment sounded.
Although this is not on the podium of F1, Zhang Yifei has managed to make the Chinese national anthem play on the European formula circuit!
