Chapter 298: The End (7)
As soon as the competition at the national station was over, Ye Feng couldn't help but drag the first place to find the best Chinese restaurant in Shanghai to eat.
Ye Feng was able to finish third in this game, and to be honest, half of the credit was on Massa. If he hadn't overtaken Raikkonen and then gave Lao Ye a car before the end of the race, Ye Feng would most likely have lost the chance to be on the podium in his home country under the sniping of his opponent.
Therefore, Ye Feng was really grateful to the Brazilian teammate opposite who was also not very tall at this time. This is the second time that Massa has given up the car to Ye Feng this year, and every time it is at the most critical moment. Lao Ye is this kind of person many times, how others treat him, especially when he treats him badly, he will not long forget. But if others are kind to him, even if it is only a little, then he will be very grateful.
"Felipe, I really want to thank you this time! When I get back to the convoy, I'm going to give you a big gift! Ye Feng said sincerely with a smile while holding the wine cup while pouting to let Massa drink Moutai.
"Sizzle! This Chinese wine of yours is really strong! Where is it sold? I'll bring some back to my daddy! Oh, what did you just say? ”
Ma Sa, who was smothered by Lao Ye's flickering, was almost choked by Moutai, grinning his teeth while still pondering the taste, and he didn't listen to what Ye Feng was saying at all.
"I mean, I want to thank you for today's game!" Looking at the drunkard opposite, Ye Feng said with a little crying and laughing.
"Oh! Races, huh? Actually, you don't need to thank me, if you do, you can go to thank Michael! Frankly, I was forced to go to the pit stop by him. If I could call the shots, I'd fight you a few times. Of course, I also know that you need more points now, so Jean will still let you! But it won't be that easy! Maybe it's a few glasses of Moutai that are a little upset, and Massa's words are also very straightforward.
"Hey! You're really honest enough! But I still want to thank you! Felipe, don't blame Michael for being biased in this matter, he is also thinking about the interests of the team. And it won't be long before you are depressed! That's when the team will have you at the core! ”
Ye Feng was a little embarrassed by Massa's straightforwardness, and said with a smile. Get along for such a long time. He knows Massa's character, and Massa knows him. The two of them are very simple and honest people, and because Ye Feng has taught Massa a lot of things, they have already become very good friends.
"Yes! Kindness? What did you say? What am I going to be the core soon? Why can't I understand that? I'm the core, what are you? Massa first nodded along with Ye Feng's words, and then when he heard that something was wrong behind him, he put down the wine cup and looked up at Ye Feng and asked.
"Felipe, I'm leaving!" There are still two stops in the race, and it's almost time to say goodbye to everyone. Ye Feng decided to tell this secret that had been hidden in his heart for a long time in advance to this good friend on the other side. He said this with a calm voice. calmly he didn't expect it himself.
"Let's go? Where are you going? Is it a transfer? Is that old fellow Frank unwilling to pay for you? If that doesn't work, I'll reason with him! The convoy can't live without you now, you can't go! ”
Like Rosberg at the beginning, Massa was anxious when he heard Ye Feng's words. Because Ye Feng has a harmonious relationship with the team, he is famous in the entire *** of F1. No matter how much Massa thought about it, he didn't expect that Ye Feng was talking about this today.
"Felipe, don't worry. Actually, this matter must have been decided as early as last year, but I haven't told anyone. Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you! ”
Looking at Massa's anxious look. Ye Feng was still very moved in his heart. It seems that this friend is not made for nothing, he is a good guy. In fact, Massa's level has improved a lot by leaps and bounds this year, just because the team's focus has always been on Ye Feng. Lao Ye believes that if Massa is given enough support and attention, the current Brazilian guy will be able to achieve much better results than now.
"Something to do with me? Why do I get more confused the more I listen? ”
After glancing at Massa with a smile, Ye Feng told Massa about how he made a deal with the King of Cars and exchanged Massa to Williams. The Brazilian guy didn't expect his own transfer to have such an inside story, and he didn't say a word in amazement, and buried himself in eating two snails before saying:
"I really don't see it. There are so many ways for me to transfer as a small person. Since that's the case, I can't say anything more. But to be honest, I know your feelings for Williams, do you think it's worth it to trade me to this team yourself? ”
"This issue is to be looked at separately. As much as I love Williams, Ferrari has always been a dream of mine. And, Felipe, I'm going to correct one of your mistakes. In my opinion, you are not a small person! You're sure to give the Williams team what everyone expects! Don't take it lightly! Also, protect me until I decide to make the news public
"Oh! I'm definitely not used to your departure, but it looks like it's going well! Is that how you want to be in charge? Hehe! In this case, I will continue to do my best to be a good assistant for you in the next two stops! Anyway, the days of oppression are over, so I'll give you a few more cars! ”
With all that to be said, Massa shrugged his shoulders and said this before continuing to devote himself to the culinary tain. It's just that he didn't expect that his own inadvertent promise to Ye Feng would have such a huge impact in the future.
……
After the victory in the Chinese Grand Prix, Schumacher has 101 points, 11 ahead of Alonso, who has 90 points, and Ye Feng, who has 86, has 15. With two races to go, that lead is huge.
And the most important thing is that the man who has achieved such an advantage has already won the seven-time world championship, so there is now a lot of clamor for the king to win an unprecedented eighth world championship and then drift away. With the exception of a small number of people, even many Spanish and Chinese fans, it has been decided that this is almost a certainty.
And, in Japan, if Schumacher can win this race again, he will have the victory in his pocket. For the car king who has just won the championship in China, this does not seem to be too difficult.
However, Ye Feng didn't think so, he didn't dare to let himself have the slightest such thought. After chasing so many stations in the back, to be honest, Ye Feng was already extremely tired and almost reached a critical point, both mentally and physically. And at this time, he must use his longing and desire for the championship to overcome his psychological and ** exhaustion. He believed that Alonso would definitely be doing the same thing, and Ye Feng had always believed that everything could happen before the end of the day.
This is Ye Feng's first time participating in the Japanese Grand Prix. After racing in China the year before, he gave up his driver's seat to Schumacher Jr. and then found a place to take a sabbatical. Last year, I watched the game on TV in my hometown.
So Ye Feng is still relatively unfamiliar with the Japan station and the Suzuka track. The track, which has been in service for many years, will also be closed for renovation after this race, and it will be replaced by Fuji Speedway.
In previous years, the possibility of rain has always been greater than that of sunny days. And it rained a little bit in the just-concluded China competition. In addition, the weather forecast is also supporting the prediction of the rain battle, so each team is actively preparing for the rain battle.
For Ye Feng, he is not afraid of rain battles, and compared to many other players, Ye Feng even hopes for the arrival of rain battles. Although he knows that Schumacher is also a master of rain battles, if it rains, then it adds a lot of uncertainty to the game, and then he can fish in troubled waters. Of course, it would have been even more perfect if Schumacher had an accident and had withdrawn. Of course, this is just Ye Feng's wishful thinking......
It was raining lightly during Friday's practice session, and the teams were cautious during the practice. Ye Feng was a little happy when he looked at such weather. In addition to Schumacher, Raikkonen and Alonso, Ye Feng is the hardest running on the track, and he hopes to find the best feeling of the rain battle as soon as possible.
But when it came to the qualifying match on the second day, Lao Ye knew that he was wrong. At the moment when the qualifying race was about to start, the weather had cleared, and Lao Ye couldn't help but secretly curse this broken island in his heart.
The Williams team, which has been preparing for the rain battle, has prepared a heavy-duty fuel strategy for Ye Feng, but when it was time to qualify, although the weather had cleared, they did not change the original tactical design. So in this competition, Ye Feng rarely used a heavy load.
The course of the race confirmed Michael's bold speculation that the other teams except Ferrari did not change their race strategy after the skies cleared for a while, and all adopted the same strategy of heavy loading. So Schumacher snatched the pole position of the Japanese Grand Prix again with a consistent performance. The eighth annual championship seems to be getting closer and closer to the car king.
And the heavily loaded Ye Feng's ranking order was not too low because other riders were also heavily loaded, and finally ranked fifth. And Alonso's fuel load seems to be heavier than Ye Feng's, so he is only ranked seventh. Seeing such a result, even the least optimistic about Schumacher can't help but admit that Schumacher's victory is almost a foregone conclusion.
It was in this atmosphere that the Grand Prix in Japan officially kicked off......
