Chapter 219: The Battle of Silence (1)
For four days, from September 8 to September 11, 2004, the whole F1 news was bustling with excitement. For all the journalists, the current Williams team is really a very lovely team! Influential (after all, it was a former giant, second place last season), and it can erupt at once with so many personnel changes, and finally there are lawsuits with other teams. It's a near-perfect subject! Now everyone is waiting for the final result of Ye Feng's transfer, except for the verdict of Barton's lawsuit and Schumacher Jr.'s statement after changing the court!
Now the question of the whereabouts of the Chinese driver really affects the hearts of the majority of veterans, and after a while, the news said that Ye Feng has secretly signed a contract with Ferrari, and Ye Feng will also become the No. 2 person next season. After a while, another piece of news will swear that Ye Feng has been with Pete. Sauber secretly signed the contract, and it was all because the two of them were established during Ye Feng's brief stint in the Sauber F3000 team
Of course, the most reliable thing is a news item from The Times about the secret agreement between the Williams team and the Anglo-American team. The news trivialized that in order to get his beloved Patton, Serena Williams Sr. had used his last bargaining chip, which was to apologize to the Anglo-American team for the poaching and withdraw his application for contract arbitration with Patton. Then the elder Williams will sign with Ye Feng first, and then swap him with the British and American team's Barton. In this way, Sir Frank naturally obtained the long-desired Barton. And David. Richards also received Ye Feng, a talented driver on the rise, as compensation. Therefore, it has to be said that it is a happy deal for all!
But. Now when people turn their attention back to Ye Feng, the focus of this matter, everyone is depressed to find that this 21-year-old young man does not care about the outside world, no matter how many rumors there are, and no matter how much Williams's fans accuse him, Ye Feng has always maintained a surprising state of silence, and has not even made a statement. Anyone who spoke to him confronted the focus that was surrounding him at this time. Even some fans who supported little Schumacher cursed Ye Feng in front of him, saying that he forced little Schumacher away, and all that was left for those who cursed Ye Feng was his calm and slightly weird smile......
Yes, Ye Feng has remained silent all the time. Hit met Mario from that day. After Tyson, the silence was even more inconceivable to everyone, including within the Williams team. The Chinese driver only came to the team earlier each day for a busy day of training and work, and then left alone after everyone in the team had left. In everyone's eyes, Di Ye Feng is now more like a silent cheetah, but this cheetah has an amazing power brewing in his body that will make everyone tremble. Now no one knows what the silent Ye Feng is thinking in his heart. But almost everyone believes that when this power finds a cathartic point at some point. The entire car world will tremble at Ye Feng's feet!
......
Like everyone else, Old Williams, who had always put more energy into other directions, began to feel Ye Feng's unfathomable profundity this time. And before that, to be honest, the British old man did not pay more attention to the Chinese drivers. Can be when Mario. After Tyson and Ye Feng talked, they seemed to be a little secretive and left in a hurry. Serena Williams began to realize that some things were not as simple as he had imagined, especially since he felt that he had neglected Ye Feng too much. And if you think about it, the Chinese boy's short performance this season is not something that can be easily ignored.
What Serena Williams didn't expect was that Ye Feng didn't immediately sign his name on that $5,600 contract. After Tyson left, Ye Feng did not show any willingness to continue to maintain this negotiation. And the conscience of heaven and earth. Old Williams asked himself if he didn't have the kind of intention to sign him first and then exchange Ye Feng as the media said, otherwise why would he spend the effort to pull BMW to pay such a large salary bill together?
Is this child still thinking that the money given to him is less? That's 14 million. Although only 11 of them came from his old Williams, Ying thinks that it is definitely a matter of benevolence and duty for him to be able to pull BMW to pull an annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars for a young driver like Ye Feng, who has just debuted!
And Ye Feng actually rejected such a big contract, which even the old Williams, who has been busy with Barton's lawsuit and has not had more energy to care about Ye Feng, feels extremely incredible, because in terms of the annual salary alone, Ye Feng's contract is even $500 more than the contract he gave Barton! Although the elder Williams still can't believe that he can convince BMW to support him
The vast majority of the big annual salary, but the old British man really feels that he has done it all. It was he, Ye Feng, who was too greedy, so Ye Feng didn't choose to sign a contract to make Old Williams very angry with Ye Feng! By now, the old man had decided to temporarily suspend all negotiations with Ye Feng. And the old man was convinced that when the young man ran into a wall with other negotiators such as Ferrari, he would naturally realize what a mistake he had made. At that time, the old man of England believed that this child who had seen the world would eventually return to him......
Therefore, as if he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Ye Feng, in addition to showing himself to the outside world on the issue of Barton, Serena Williams also remained silent on the issue of Ye Feng......
......
On 11 September, when the early autumn sun of the Apennines began to pour down on the land of iron-blooded history and unrestrained heat, the annual event of speed and gallop for Italians finally kicked off at the Monza circuit, which was filled with thousands of people. On this day, Juventus became an outcast, the Milan duo were ignored, and the whole of Italy seemed to be completely enveloped in a different kind of red in the most brilliant light. It can be said that whenever the flames of F1 fire burn to Monza and San Marino (hosted by Italy, similar to Duncan's birthplace of the Faroe Islands, which is managed by the United States and is also the absolute home of Ferrari), the sky is only filled with that touch of red, and today is no exception. What's even more remarkable is that today is the first time that Ferrari and Schumacher have raced on Italian soil since the last race achieved six consecutive constructors' titles and five consecutive drivers' titles, so there are only crazy Italians on Monza now in addition to the madness of the Italians!
Hundreds of thousands of red fans are waiting for the moment when all Ferrari fans want to see their No. 2 driver Barrichello win on home soil to secure a place in second place! After a lot of dedication to the king of cars, all the fans of the Red Prancing Horse team hope that a championship and hundreds of thousands of cheers will give the Brazilians a little comfort!
So today's air is even filled with the idea of Barrichello winning the championship!
However, there is one person in the red air who doesn't want the red people to do it! Ye Feng, who was now wearing a white and blue racing suit and a red and yellow helmet on his head, was holding his steering wheel tightly at this time, looking firmly and excitedly ahead, waiting for the signal to start. Barrichello wants to win, Ye Feng wants to win even more! Since Hockenheim, Lao Ye has been aggrieved by all kinds of frustrating things on and off the field, and now Ye Feng, who vows to smash all these troubles with a victory, and at the same time send a victory gift to Schultz, who is also frustrated, has never been so eager for the game to start as soon as possible as today!
Waiting for the start signal, looking at the red in front of him and the sound of fans chanting Barrichello for a long time, the blood in Ye Feng's whole body seemed to be burning and boiling with such ignorance from opponents and rival fans!
“Come! Baby! ”
Almost at the moment when the starting signal was issued, accompanied by a loud roar from the Chinese driver, the blue FW-26 of Ye Feng, who was the eighth from the bottom in the first stage of qualifying, rushed out like a blue thunderbolt, and even the BMW engine that was urged to the extreme by Ye Feng seemed to be unable to suppress its anger and let out a hysterical roar! The speeding car body seemed to turn into a psychedelic afterimage in the eyes of many people......
One, two, three......
I don't know when it began, but Ferrari fans, who had just ignored everything that was happening on the track, began to pay attention to the Williams car that was speeding at the track at this time! Because that lightning-fast blue light really can't be ignored! No one would have thought that anyone would dare to shout at all Italians in such an arrogant way on Ferrari's home turf, and in this dispensable first stage of qualifying, which did not require all the effort! It's a challenge to the people here in the most naked way. Therefore, after a short period of surprise, the crowd of 100,000 red people began to let out a piercing boo at the galloping Ye Feng!
After an impeccable timed lap, Ye Feng topped the first stage of the first stage with a proud score of 1 point 20620, which cannot be changed even after the bottom two Ferrari duo came out......
Almost from the first microsecond of the start of this Grand Prix, Ye Feng sounded the horn of strong fighting spirit! In Monza, Ye Feng decided to launch his own challenge to the entire Italian fans!
