Chapter 302: The Ending (11)

After a brief period of clear weather on Friday, the skies over São Paulo were still covered in dense clouds. Looking at the increasingly low sky, everyone knows that the final battle of this station to determine the final ownership of the championship is going to be played in the rain. And this time, God didn't leave too much suspense for everyone. Even before qualifying on Saturday, a light rain had already begun to fall in the sky.

However, even this did not dampen the enthusiasm of many Brazilian fans who had been waiting for it for a long time. As a compatriot of the racing gods, the popularity of Brazilian fans is also world-famous, and racing at this Interlagos circuit will always have the best racing atmosphere. And this year, especially with the outstanding performance of Williams driver Massa, the enthusiasm of nearly 200,000 Brazilian fans has already been driven to a very high index. Think about it, if Massa can win this race, then maybe in the final scene, the cheers given to Massa by the Brazilian fans will even compare the most celebrated championship of the year......

So, even though it's drizzling in the sky right now, even if it's just qualifying, the Interlagos circuit is still packed. The unique rhythm of the samba drum has already sounded in all corners of the arena. For Brazilian fans, no matter what the weather, today is a festival to indulge in.

At this time, the TV camera focused on Ye Feng, Alonso and Schumacher. It was clear that the appearance of the three drivers who were about to fight for the ultimate championship immediately caused a round of cheers from the fans in the field. For a long time. The Brazilian Grand Prix has become a routine affair, and Brazilian fans have been waiting a long time for the suspense to be kept in the final race. No wonder they're excited.

Then the TV camera was very cooperatively fixed on Massa, and at this time the atmosphere of the track could no longer be described as hot, but was completely boiling! People shouted Massa's name like a tsunami, and it was as if the whole track was going to be drained.

In the face of such enthusiasm from fans, the humble Massa was obviously a little surprised and shy. He only paid a brief greeting to the fans before jumping back into his pre-race preparations and interviews.

……

"That...... Frank, didn't I tell you before that I'd wait until the last race of the year to tell you what my final decision was? I think. Now is the time! Just a few minutes before the qualifying session was about to start, Ye Feng and the team owner Frank, who was rarely with the team. Sir Williams said.

"Well, you can say it! I'm really looking forward to it! That's one of the big reasons why I've traveled so far and so far to get here. The old man in the wheelchair looked at Ye Feng with a little anxiety in his eyes at this time, but more in anticipation. However, after that long conversation behind closed doors, although Ye Feng didn't say it explicitly, he still vaguely felt that Ye Feng might want to leave. Otherwise, such a good contract, why didn't Ye Feng sign it and said that he would wait until the end of the season to talk about it.

So from that time on. Old Williams had a shadow in his heart, and he had dreamed of Ye Feng leaving the team in his sleep for many nights, which made him sad. However, the old man who has been immersed in this industry for almost half his life is obviously much more psychologically tolerant than others. Still, even when he had a vague sense that the talks would not come to fruition. He still hoped that Ye Feng was just playing a good-natured joke with him.

"Frank, I should have told you these things a long time ago. It's just that I never knew how to speak, but today I have to say it! Ye Feng stared at the old man in the wheelchair and said, after hearing this, the corners of the old man's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he didn't say anything, and continued to wait for Ye Feng.

"Frank. After this game, I decided to leave! Ye Feng gritted his teeth and said, although his voice was calm, it was a little bitter.

"Can you tell me why?" Maybe there was a long preparation period in advance, and his personality was more introverted, so the old Williams in the wheelchair seemed relatively calm.

"The relationship between me and you, and between me and the team, I don't think I need to say anything more. And none of that has anything to do with it. It's just that my departure must have been decided in the second half of last season. In order to convince Ferrari to give up Massa to us, I agreed to play for them after the end of my current contract. ”

Ye Feng tried hard to consider his words, trying not to hurt the elder in front of him even more with his words. And the old man kept staring at him when Ye Feng was talking, as if he wanted to see him through.

For a long time, after Ye Feng finished speaking, there was silence between the two.

"Hey! Actually, I should have thought that the Ferrari guys must have had a plan to cede Felipe so happily! I didn't expect them to have such a big appetite and snatch away my favorite child! Ye, although Felipe is also very good, I have to say that if I had known that this was the case, I would never have agreed! I really can't bear to let you go! But I also know

It's all for the sake of this team. I know, I know the truth is really hard for me to accept! I'd rather have you stay than trade someone else for you! ”

Old Williams sighed and said after looking at Ye Feng for a long time, and his tone rarely brought a lot of emotion that he couldn't usually see from him. The old man, who was impressed by Ye Feng's shocking performance at the beginning, and then was disappointed in Ye Feng's inferior performance, was left with only a reluctance to love the child in front of him at this moment.

"Frank, actually...... I had my own ideas when I agreed. You know, I love Williams, all my life. But my affection for our team has actually accumulated through the bits and pieces that have been built up day by day. Until then, as a fan, my favourite has always been Ferrari. So I promised Schumacher at that time, in fact, it was also to fulfill one of my own dreams as a car fan. ”

Being praised so much by the old man still made Ye Feng's face a little unbearable. He still said all the thoughts in his heart.

"Oh! In that case, I can understand your decision! As a fan favorite, I understand that feeling! Although as a team owner, I am really reluctant to let you go, but as a friend, as an elder of yours, I think I should understand and support your decision! Go and pursue your dreams! Honestly, my child, you've done enough for me and for the big guys! It's more than we imagined! So, as hard as it is, what I want to say is, if you want to do something, then do it! I bless you! My baby! ”

Instead, listening to Ye Feng's later words, Williams couldn't help but feel a little understanding and relief in his heart. After all, he also came step by step from a young man whose heart was full of ideals and dreams. If it weren't for his unwavering love for racing, he wouldn't have been willing to endure the hardships he had to endure again and again to found one of the most successful teams in history, Williams.

So looking at Ye Feng in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the enthusiasm and stubbornness in his youth, and the naïve self with a little persistence. And like all owners of private fleets that have gone through ups and downs, many times Serena Williams has become more than just a boss. In his eyes, everyone in the team is a member of this big family, although there are people he hates and dislikes, but everyone is actually like his son. And Ye Feng is undoubtedly the most outstanding and excellent son.

"Frank! Thank you so much for understanding me so well! Seeing that this old man, who was originally a little old-fashioned and indifferent in his impression, was able to appreciate him so much and truly understand and support him when he decided to leave, Ye Feng was so moved that he didn't know what to say at this time. After trying to suppress his emotions, he said:

"Actually, what I'm doing is not enough! And I'm going to work on it now! Frank, look at it! I'll definitely do a good job! After Ye Feng finished speaking, he put on his helmet and walked towards the car.

"Huh! I now finally understand that after so many consecutive defeats this season, this kid is still so stubborn in promising everyone a championship for the team! What a little guy with a personality! It's a pity......"

Looking at Ye Feng's departing back, Old Williams muttered in his mouth......

……

In the bleak drizzle, the qualifying session for the finale of the 06 F1 Grand Prix finally kicked off at Interlagos.

In such a track, which has been criticized by the FIA many times and even terminated for a time to be renovated but with little success, coupled with today's rain, it is conceivable that every driver will suffer, and the suspense and condition of the race will not be less.

No, Monteiro of the Sjuker Racing Team and Schumacher Jr. of the Toyota Racing Team, who had just rushed to the track, had the same situation on the slippery track, and the little Schumacher suddenly slid sideways from the track to the buffer zone, but fortunately did not hit the guardrail.

So after that, every driver in each team competed more carefully. Even so, in the first stage of qualifying, two cars retired early due to crashes. In the second stage of qualifying, three cars had accidents again due to fierce competition, and before the race, five cars had accidents in different situations, which couldn't help but make everyone's hearts rise to their throats.

The third qualifying session, where the pole position was finally decided, finally began. Every car is on the track for a gas-guzzling lap from the start. However, just when people were bored waiting for the final suspense to be revealed in this gas-guzzling circle, they suddenly found that Schumacher's car had been parked in the Ferrari garage motionless, while the staff next to him were nervously carrying out repairs!

Time passed minute by minute, and the situation in this last battle began to become more and more severe for Lao Shu......
