Chapter 287: A Trip to North America (Part II)
As soon as the competition in Canada ended, Ye Feng left alone.
This is not in line with his usual style, originally no matter what the results were, Ye Feng would always chat with his teammates for a few words, analyze the gains and losses before leaving, sometimes the results are good Ye Feng will take the initiative to invite guests.
Therefore, now every member of the team who was staring at Ye Feng knew that Ye Feng was in a bad mood right now. But what exactly happened is not known to anyone.
As the team principal and technical director, Michael knows that Serena Williams Sr. recently offered Ye Feng a contract with very good conditions, which should be a good thing! Coupled with the fact that the team's results are back to good, Ye Feng should be happy, how can he be a little depressed?
However, as someone who has worked with Ye Feng for more than two seasons, Michael believes that Ye Feng is the kind of driver who wants to worry too much about himself, so the Australian thinks that maybe it is just a small adjustment after Ye Feng broke out at a competitive peak.
……
Sitting in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the room on the 23rd floor of this five-star hotel in the United States, dotted with passing vehicles, Ye Feng couldn't help but be a little dazed. In the past few days, Ye Feng has basically been in such a state.
At this time, Gu Lin, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the window, looked at Ye Feng who was in a daze, and did not say anything, but continued to lower his head and peel the apple.
She had only made a special trip here to visit Ye Feng yesterday in her spare time, and soon Gu Lin found that her lover seemed to be preoccupied. But. She didn't ask Ye Feng what was going on, if Ye Feng wanted to say it, he would naturally talk to her.
So. At this time, Gu Lin's beautiful face carried the tranquility and softness that only she and her closest people would have, and she was so focused on peeling apples at this time, so focused that the corners of her mouth had a faint taste of happiness. For her and Ye Feng, lovers who can't be together for a long time, this kind of solitude is more important than anything else.
"Lynn, I'm probably going to leave Williams at the end of this season!"
After taking the apple handed over by the girl, Ye Feng got up from the chair by the window, walked to Gu Lin and sat down and said.
"Oh! So have you decided where you're going? Is it Ferrari? ”
After holding Ye Feng's arm and lying down comfortably in his arms, Gu Lin said absentmindedly. And her hands were still feeding the beef jerky that Ye Feng brought from China that Lao Ye liked to eat.
"Hey? Aren't you surprised that something so big is happening? ”
Looking at Gu Lin's face that had haunted Ye Feng in countless dreams, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask with some surprise.
"It's up to you to decide these things. And the last time you and I actually had dinner with Schumacher, I also vaguely felt something from the two of you!
Kaede, it doesn't make a difference to me which team you go to! I'll support you! What's wrong? Do you have any problems? ”
Gu Lin smiled faintly and said, looking at Ye Feng's way of eating, he was very focused. However, he also seemed to realize that the boy around him might really have encountered a problem, and after finishing speaking, Gu Lin sat up again and looked at Ye Feng seriously.
"There's something wrong with it. You also know that these two years or so have made me have a deep affection for the Williams team. Now the team is in a rare upward phase. But I'm leaving. I really don't know how to explain it to you. ”
"In that case, why don't you stay? Wouldn't that be great? ”
"Hey, I promised Shuma as early as last season~! At the time, I didn't have the same affection for the Williams team as I do now. And I promised the king of cars to get Massa from him to enhance the competitiveness of the team. I can't break my promise no matter what! ”
"Oh! So you're in a dilemma right now. On the one hand, it is necessary to keep the promise to Schumacher. On the other hand, you don't want your current teammates to see you as a deserter and a traitor. And the most important thing is that you're afraid that you'll just leave. Williams is going to get bogged down again, but even then, you're still going, aren't you? So such a helpless ending makes you very uncomfortable? ”
"Yes! Beautiful jade. It seems that you know me best! So what do you think I should do? ”
"Huh! You! A lot of the time, it's just too nostalgic and too much thinking! Kaede, what I'm going to say is that since you've already made a decision in your heart, don't think about it so much. And, at the end of the day, we're just a professional driver, not God. We can't do that much about it.
I know your feelings for this team. But there are a lot of things that you can't control. You've done enough now that Williams' future fate will take its course!
Kaede, a lot of times we can just try our best to do what we can, and then quietly wait for the outcome of things! You should learn to let go when the time is right! ”
"Hey! Lynn, I understand all these truths, but I just can't calm my heart! ”
"Maybe there's something you think you should be doing but aren't doing. All you have to do now is relax and do what you think you need to do! ”
"What should have been done but not done? Well, I seem to have figured it out! Thank you, Lynn! ”
……
Ye Feng, who had a plan in his heart, sat with Serena Williams the next day for a long talk behind closed doors. Aside from the two of them, no one knows what the conversation was about.
However, the effect of the conversation was obvious, that is, Ye Feng returned to the team with a smile on his face again, and continued his intense and busy work.
Seeing Ye Feng like this, every member of the Williams team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know when Ye Feng has invisibly become everyone's backbone and spiritual pillar, the importance of this Chinese kid can't really be realized if it weren't for the people of the team.
In short, no one has raised the issue of renewal for the time being. The convoy is busy again for the American station, which will take place in a few days.
……
For Rosberg, who has just turned 21, his racing career has been a little more impressive. In 05, when this Finnish German guy lifted the GP2 annual championship trophy high. Everyone thinks of F1 Ross +
So, in the footsteps of his father, Nick. Rosberg arrived at the Williams team. Here, he hopes to stage a legend of his own like his father. Moreover, he came here with a goal, and that was Ye Feng.
When Ye Feng was in the last F3000 to just participate. At the time of his incredible annual victory, Rosberg was still working hard in F3. It has always been a regret for Rosberg not to be able to speak head-to-head with the Chinese driver who later shocked the F1 world as well.
Therefore, Rosberg, who came here, has always been the one in the team who pays the most attention to Ye Feng. He wanted to know what kind of skills this man two years older than himself had. Then you can secretly compete with him when you fight alongside him.
But the joy of Schumacher Jr. and Montoya's departure didn't last long before Rosberg was in Rosberg's mind, and he seemed to be doing well. So Rosberg's hopes of turning positive were completely shattered. For more than a year, he could only silently test the driver in front of the Williams team, vent his frustration in the training session, and then watch Ye Feng and Massa gallop in the race.
However, in the more than a year since he came to Williams, Rosberg's goal of wanting to observe Ye Feng up close has been realized. In his opinion, many of the Chinese driver's actions are different from what he has seen and heard as someone who has grown up in the world of motorsports.
There are almost no drivers who are as diligent as Ye Feng as Rosberg has seen, and no driver can know so much about racing cars as Ye Feng, and the longer he stays here. Rosberg can feel the importance of Chinese drivers in the team. This is not only important in terms of results and technology, but more importantly, he sees that as long as this Chinese is here, everyone in the team will be invisibly full of fighting spirit and desire to win, even when Ye Feng is injured and lost continuously at the beginning of the season.
So. The more he got to know Ye Feng, the more frustrated Rosberg was to find that he had come here to replace the Chinese, even if it was almost a luxury to fight side by side with him. I didn't see that Massa has been following Ye Feng closely behind now, and the Brazilian's results have begun to get better and better.
And. In this team, there is no internal competition like other teams, no one is self-cherished here, and the two technical teams that originally belonged to Ye Feng and Massa even had a meeting before the race to discuss the current problems of the car. It can be said that in such an environment, as long as you are a team member, you can learn valuable knowledge that would otherwise be impossible to learn.
It's just that. Rosberg was just a small test driver, and no one would have remembered to teach him more. And in such technical team meetings in the team, he often does not even have the qualifications to participate.
However, I don't know what's going on today. Ye Feng stopped him as soon as he arrived at the garage in the morning, and inexplicably gave Rosberg a thick notebook folder, and then at the scene of the team's pre-race preparation meeting, Ye Feng also called him in for the first time.
For a long time, Rosberg was actually a little unconvinced by the Chinese who was only 2 years older than him, but now he found that he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart......
…… U: The track may be a blessed place for Schumacher alone.
Against the backdrop of being suppressed by Renault this season, the king of cars finally started a strong rebound with the play of pole position + championship. Renault and Alonso, who were still in the last race, were not in good form in this race, finishing only a fourth and seventh. The points advantage was further caught up by the car king and Ferrari behind him.
And for Ye Feng, this is also a depressing game. First he lost to the old and spicy car king in the pole position, and then in the subsequent race, he was entangled by the Iceman, who has recently shown signs of recovering in form. Although he barely retained the second position, under the interference of Raikkonen, Ye Feng lost the chance to win the championship almost with 20 laps left in the race.
Now, with a title and a runner-up finish in North America, Schumacher is just one step away from Alonso's 55 points. And Ye Feng's points reached 36 points with a second and a fifth, which seemed to be far away from the previous two, but the good news is that the completion rate of the Cerricosworth engine is getting better and better.
Now, after the North American tour, the convoys are resting, and everyone is gearing up to return to the European battlefield......
