Chapter 276: Bright Flowers (1)

There was a brutality to the qualifying rules from the start, and it's hard to really appreciate how much a driver has played under these rules twice. However, as the race continues, many people who are still used to the last season's rule of running a lap together and then booking a seat will have to taste the bitter fruits......

And, most importantly, it's not just the drivers who can't figure out the new qualifying rules, but also the support groups of many teams who don't know what it means. No, Williams team director Michael, who was frustrated by the technical aspects of the car, made a mistake that was not too big or too small, and made a big mistake in the first stage of qualifying for the third Australian Grand Prix of the season, which is now underway. When there were only 2 minutes left for the restart of the qualifying race, which was interrupted by a racing accident, Michael asked Ye Feng, who had not been ideal in the previous time trial lap, to make a last fight, but coincidentally, it was indeed Barrichello, a veteran who had just switched to the Honda team, who had just switched to the Honda team at this time......

It is said that ranking behind Barrichello is nothing for Ye Feng, after all, the performance of Honda racing this year is not bad, and now Lao Ba has no insurance to enter the second stage of qualifying, so he will inevitably fight hard. But what is even more unfortunate is that at this time, it is the car of Inoide Yuji of the Super Ajuri team supported by Honda, and it is not good for Lao Ba and Ye Feng behind him to be in front of Lao Ba......

Why? Before this season, everyone had worried that the extremely slow Super Ajurichi might become the "track killer" in qualifying, and now Iide Yuji has finally taken this resounding name under his name. Before Kimi. Reknan was lucky. As soon as they got out of the pits, the Finns decisively overtook the big bad star with their speed. But Lao Ba and Lao Ye who appeared later were not so lucky. Lao Ba's racing car is not as good as Lao Lai. But it's not something that Lao Ye can surpass quickly. So Iide Yuji blocked Barrichello, and then Lao Ba blocked Ye Feng behind. And Lao Ba overtook the Japanese in front of him until the last corner. In this way, even if Ye Feng in the back wanted to surpass the culprit in front of him, he would not have any time. Even Barrichello had lost so much time that the transcendence was almost meaningless......

The results of the first stage of qualifying came out quickly, and Barrichello was the most depressed, he finally ranked 17,,.U+ before the first stage of qualifying "Heroic Righteousness", and pulled Barrichello and Ye Feng off the horse in one go......

This was a bit of a surprise to Williams and Ye Feng's supporters. It's true that the team has encountered some problems this season, but it hasn't fallen to the point of being eliminated in the first stage of qualifying, right? But that's not all, and what surprises everyone is still to come.

At this time, Australian TV people have used most of the cameras to track Ye Feng, who is moldy at home. After the three eliminated cars of Williams, Super Ajuli, and Honda, which were almost from end to end, returned to the pit together, people did not see Ye Feng driving the car back to the garage in the camera, but parked the car directly at the door of the garage of Super Ajuli, which is separated from the Honda team.

Then, what was even more jaw-dropping was that Ye Feng quickly jumped out of the cockpit, took off his helmet and walked quickly towards the super Ajuri driver Yuji Ide, who had also jumped out of the cockpit. Now, the world can see the Chinese driver's face with a furious expression. And Barrichello next to him also seemed to see that something was wrong with the Chinese guy, and he was the first to react and ran towards Ye Feng quickly. The group of people from Iide Yuji and Super Ajuri, who didn't react for a while, looked at Ye Feng who was inexplicable, but they didn't know what to do for a while, so they all stayed there. And at this time, the Williams garage was even more chaotic. Some people were looking for where Ye Feng was, and Michael and the others, who saw Ye Feng's abnormal behavior on the monitor, were shouting for the team members to hurry up and find Ye Feng to prevent Ye Feng from doing anything drastic......

But it was already too late, and Barrichello, who was the first to react, pulled Ye Feng. The already enraged guy had already swung his right fist and slammed it into the face, and the punch was so heavy that it knocked the Japanese rider to the ground with a stumbling stagger. At this time, people realized what was going on, and they all gathered around......

knocked down the guy who eliminated him with one punch, and Lao Ye, who was already angry, had no intention of stopping at all. Instead, he continued to want to rush up and teach the other party a lesson. At this time, several staff members of Super Ajuri also ran over angrily, and some of them were ready to protect the well on the ground. Some want to jump over to find Ye Feng to avenge their teammates. And at this time, the role of Lao Ba, who usually has a good personal relationship with Ye Feng, is highlighted! He first grabbed the rampaging Ye Feng tightly, and then glared at the Super Ajuli staff who wanted to rush over to do something.

Seeing the appearance of Lao Ba, several staff members who had just entered F1*** suddenly felt a little weak, after all, Lao Ba is a big-name driver, and he is just a small staff member. If they beat Lao Ba or Ye Feng, then they don't have to mix in F1 anymore. So when these people saw that Barrichello was protecting Ye Feng and had no intention of coming over, they also dispelled the idea of rushing over, and instead focused on their teammates on the ground......

With this pause, most of the people on the scene only realized what had just happened. The reporters who were still in a daze just now hurriedly gathered around, taking pictures and taking pictures. At this time, the team of the Williams team also rushed over, pushing and shoving the reporters and some personnel of the Super Ajuli team who surrounded Ye Feng, while trying to get Ye Feng out of the crowd quickly. In short, things have developed to the present, and it is impossible for Ye Feng and Iide Yuji to fight, but the situation at the scene is even more chaotic than just now.

Until this moment, Barrichello was still holding Ye Feng tightly. I'm afraid he will be impulsive again. And being tossed by the crowd like this, Ye Feng, who was confused by anger just now, also calmed down. He patted Barrichello with his other hand. Then he said gratefully to the senior driver, to be honest, old

I didn't expect Barrichello to defend him like this. If it weren't for Brazil, whether he Ye Feng injured Yuji Ide, or the super Ajuri people beat Ye Feng, the consequences of this matter would not be something Ye Feng could bear.

"Reuben, it's all right! Let me go! I won't make any more fuss! I was too impulsive just now, but that kid was too hateful. I don't let the car go when I'm slow! When Ye Feng said this, he signaled that Barrichello had calmed down, and there was still a little lingering in his mouth. Because an 18-place ranking is also difficult for Ye Feng and Williams now

"Hey! No way, who told us to happen to meet such a person! You're really getting a little impulsive! But that punch just now was really handsome! Very relieved! Hehe, just take revenge for me! Barrichello saw that Ye Feng was fine, and said to Ye Feng in a low voice in Portuguese while letting go of his hands. In the end, Lao Ba also smiled and winked at Lao Ye mysteriously......

"Hey! If you hadn't outdone that guy and let me know you're a victim too, maybe I'd be in trouble with you right now! Seeing Barrichello's strange look, Ye Feng also smiled and joked at Lao Ba.

"Hah! What if I get in your way? Do you dare to punch me? It's against you! ”

"Humph! How could I not dare? Do you want to try it now? ”

"Come on! Who's afraid of whom? ”

The two men were talking there on the one hand. But the body hugged each other and squeezed out of the crowd and walked out, without the consciousness of just stabbing the basket. And at this time, Iide Yuji finally stood up from the ground indignantly with the help of his teammates. But looking at Barrichello and Ye Feng who were talking and laughing in the distance, Iide Yuji could only consider himself unlucky. Who told him to block someone's car? After all, he is a rookie driver this year, and his team is not a powerful force in F1. So it's better not to get into trouble with people like Ye Feng and Barrichello, this loss can only be so acquiesced......

……

Ye Feng can be regarded as giving away the resentment in his heart recently, but he also put himself in trouble again. However, there is an advantage in the world of foreigners, that is, Ye Feng beats someone, even if he beats someone. No one went to a meeting to criticize Ye Feng like those leaders in China, nor did Ye Feng deeply reflect on his mistakes and write a profound examination for the organization. Therefore, after this incident, Michael and Serena Williams and everyone in the team did not have any verbal dissatisfaction with Ye Feng.

At the same time, Michael also began to silently mediate Ye Feng's punishment in the F1 Race Management Committee in the first time of the incident. Here, people don't think of Lao Ye as an educated child, and people here believe in the rules of the game for adults. From the moment Ye Feng hit someone, he should have thought about the consequences of this incident and was ready to take responsibility for his actions. And now the task of the team is to find ways to reduce the degree of punishment that Ye Feng was punished.

In the office area of the organizing committee of the competition, Michael's current state is even more unimaginable to many Chinese people. The old fox changed his usual gentle attitude and put on a dead pigskin, looking fearless.

"Banned? This is absolutely not a no-go! Be! Our Ye Feng is beating! But so what? Didn't you see how that Japanese kid from the previous Super Ajuri was blocking Honda and our team's cars? We haven't appealed to them for such violations, so what's wrong with beating him? It's a big deal to pay him some medical bills! As soon as he heard that the tournament director claimed to suspend Ye Feng, Michael knew that it was the other party's sky-high asking price, so he said-for-tat.

"It's impossible! Ye Feng's beating is a very serious behavior! Must accept a severe punishment! ”

"Punishment is punishment! However, a ban is absolutely impossible! I hope you'd better take a look at the changes in attendance in subsequent races in F1 after losing Ye Feng last year before making a decision! Don't tell me you're not afraid that the top F1 sponsors won't come to you after their earnings plummet! I can tell you responsibly that Ye Feng is the cash cow for all of us! Ban Ye Feng for a Japanese kid you can't even call his name? Are you funny? ”

"You ......" The competition director was trembling with anger from Michael's scoundrel, but he also knew that it was unrealistic to ban Ye Feng, so he continued. That must also be punished! A fine of at least $10,000 plus a 10-place start from the grid! ”

"Deal!"

……

Deal with Ye Feng's beating incident. The Tournament Management Committee made a final decision in a surprisingly short period of time. Ye Feng needs to pay a $10,000 fine for the beating and start 10 places back in this game. As soon as such a decision came out, everyone knew that Super Ajuri and Iide Yuji were doomed. Ye Feng and Williams will not care about the $10,000 fine, let alone the start of the 10th place. Because now Ye Feng is already ranked 18th, with only 22 cars in total, where else can he retreat? Therefore, this kind of punishment of Ye Feng's beating behavior reflects a certain degree of unfairness in F1 again. But it's also as Michael said. It's true that not many people are upset about a small unknown Japanese rider. This incident just adds a bit of an alternative to the tense game.

However, in this way, Ye Feng's trip to Australia basically missed the victory. It's almost impossible to pull off a super comeback from the last place on the grid in Williams' current form. Ye Feng's most pragmatic thing is to try to grab a point in this station. But in this way, the gap between Ye Feng and the previous competitors has been widened again......

Sure enough, even in the final case of 8 cars retiring, the last old Ye who started still missed the points in the end, which was also Ye Feng's failure to score points in two consecutive races. In this battle, Ye Feng can't say that he didn't play well, he once chased from the last place to the twelfth position, but after that. He was first met with a stubborn resistance from the same unlucky qualifying driver in the race, and then he was caught between the front and rear of two cars from BMW. Under the pressure of worrying that the engine would burst again, it was not easy for Ye Feng to achieve the ninth result.

World War I is still Renault's world. Alonso won his 10th career race title and made it his third consecutive Constructors' Championship for Renault. Perhaps it's too early to tell. However, at least at this time, Renault's ambitions and strength to defend the title have been revealed......

……

The competition in Australia has ended, but the media around Ye Feng's hot beating time don't want to let it go so easily. Regarding Lao Ye's war, the European media all felt that Ye Feng's thing was quite normal, and young people would be more impulsive. And like Ye Feng before. In fact, he is a very well-behaved guy at this age. The European media is still more concerned about the current predicament encountered by Ye Feng and the team, and everyone is discussing the possible ranking of Ye Feng this year and how to solve the current problem.

The media in Asia, on the other hand, is more interesting, and naturally has a bit more political undertones. The evaluation of Ye Feng's move is relatively negative, and it is naturally the media in Japan, the motherland of Ide Yuji. The sports edition of Japan's influential Asahi Shimbun slammed Ye Feng's rude behavior with the headline "Ye Feng's faux pas, it is to black the Asian driver", and then the comment also thought that the Super Ajuri team and Ide Yuji himself had too weak attitudes towards this matter, which simply disgraced the face of the whole Yamato nation. But in the end, the commentators of the Asahi Shimbun also had to admit that F1 was actually a place where strength was worshipped, and now the Japanese team and drivers did not dare to speak up after suffering such a "humiliation". In the final analysis, it is because of the team's poor performance, and the article recommends that the major Japanese automakers invest more in the top racing events, rather than just completing their own drifts in Japan. Only in this way can more and more people around the world truly recognize the superiority of Japanese cars from the bottom of their hearts while driving Japanese cars......

On the other hand, the Chinese media's evaluation of Ye Feng's beating incident is more ambiguous. What is a little incomprehensible is that the Chinese media did not routinely think that Ye Feng's radical behavior had lost the face of the Chinese people as in the past, because after all, in the period when the domestic opposition to the Prime Minister's visit to the shrine was so strong in 06, Ye Feng beat a Japanese, and this kind of behavior cannot be scolded as a normal Chinese person anyway. However, due to the consistent "speech control" in China's press circles, although many people applauded Lao Ye's relieving punch in their hearts, no media dared to jump out and publicly applaud Ye Feng's behavior. As a result, this has formed the ambiguous mood of the Chinese media in a state of contradictory repression......

……

The disturbances outside would no longer have any impact on Ye Feng. On the contrary, after such a stop in Australia as a "stain" on Ye Feng's career, Ye Feng was finally able to release all kinds of negative emotions and pressures accumulated from January to the present through a cathartic channel that may be inappropriate. Carrying heavy pressure like this, Ye Feng really didn't know how long he could hold on, or maybe one day he would have to be crushed and collapsed.

Now, the car is not good, the ranking is terrible, the cylinder has exploded, and the people have been beaten......

When everything was so bad that it seemed that it couldn't be worse, Ye Feng's mentality at this time was finally put in a situation where the requirements were much lower than the previous requirements like having to win the championship, and now Lao Ye no longer thinks about things like championships, anyway, the current racing car is like this, and it seems that nothing can make a big difference in the near future, so what should I do this season? Is it so going with the flow and giving up on yourself? Or do you have to try to do something? In what direction? How hard to try? These are all things that Ye Feng is beginning to think about now. Maybe he himself hasn't noticed the changes in himself now, but Senna knows that after the impact of the strong gap between the ideal and the reality in the previous period, the current Ye Feng has finally begun to face the reality, although this reality is not what he wants to accept, but where are there so many perfect things in this world?

According to Senna's words, Ye Feng's punch actually hit the well and cured, and at the same time, it also shattered Ye Feng's previous "mental cleanliness". A season is a season, and when a driver artificially attaches a lot of unrealistic hopes and aspirations to him, it is often not a good thing......

Ye Feng naturally would not choose to give up on himself, and even if he couldn't race this season, Ye Feng still wanted to strive for the best results. If the car can't work, it is natural to find a way to make up for the lack of racing cars through other methods. Then the only way left is to keep improving your driving skills!

Therefore, after his hopes for this year's racing performance were completely dashed, Ye Feng stopped his continued "waste of time" on racing technical issues, and for the first time in a long time after Ye Feng jumped out of his test driver career, he refocused all his energy on improving his driving skills. Now Ye Feng has almost returned to the state when he first came to the Williams team two years ago, in addition to physical training every day, he is constantly driving a racing car in the racing track, and this guy's only rest has even become a person in the team data room, quietly watching all kinds of racing videos......

Lao Ye is now so obsessed with improving his skills that even the members of the Williams team began to think that Ye Feng was definitely hit by a series of previous events and fell into a state of autism. Everyone is very anxious, but there is nothing to do, but who can know, the current Lao Ye has rediscovered the fun of being a simple driver after returning to simplicity, and in this fun, Ye Feng's understanding of driving skills is constantly improving, day after day, so that many years later, when Lao Ye evaluates the most important stage of his career, he will always mention the current "hard years" without hesitation, only he knows best, It was during this period of hard training similar to retreat that he laid the most solid foundation for his future driving skills to improve by leaps and bounds until he reached the height of a generation of car kings......
