Chapter 369
Hamilton and McLaren were somewhat disappointed that the Interlagos circuit, where it should have been, was clear this time. This is undoubtedly good news for Ye Feng, who is aiming to win the championship, God doesn't seem to want to use the weather factor again and again, and "trick" Ye Feng again and again, after leaving Europe, Ye Feng and the Ferrari team finally looked forward to the long-lost sunshine.
Just like last year, Ye Feng is still the most popular driver among Brazilian fans besides Massa. Now many of them know from various media that Ye Feng has a habit of racing at the Interlagos circuit: Ye Feng will always silently offer a bouquet of flowers in front of the Seine bend before his first practice race, and Ye Ye has always claimed that the car god who has been away from everyone for more than ten years is his mentor. Excluding the fact that this guy is extremely impulsive, Ye Feng's special affection for Brazil has also won him the love of many Brazilian fans. Of course, those who oppose and hate Ye Feng will naturally regard his various behaviors in Interlagus as a kind of fake show.
Whether it's a show or a true worship. After sending a bouquet of flowers to the boss in his heart, Lao Ye started his last and most important battle of the season. The F2008 was under his full control, and once again everyone could feel the power of this car with so many strengths and weaknesses in dry track conditions!
After several setbacks in a row, Ye Feng and Raikkonen regained their dominance in three practice matches. Although the Iceman was only in third place with a small mistake in the final third quarter of qualifying, thus letting go of Xiao Hei, who had been pressing him all along, Ye Feng still played exceptionally well, and he was the last driver to complete the qualifying race. He also had the last laugh, beating Hamilton by 0.03 to take the 19th pole position of his career.
Such a result undoubtedly added great pressure to Hamilton, who was trying to achieve a reversal, in fact, Xiao Hei's hopes of winning the championship now were completely based on Ye Feng's continued serious mistakes. But neither the weather conditions nor Ye Feng's performance gave him such a chance again.
After losing to Ye Feng in the pole position battle, Hamilton was no longer as relaxed as when he first arrived in Brazil, although he still maintained a smile and chic style in front of the media, but the disappointment in his eyes betrayed him. Hamilton himself also knew very well in his heart that when Ye Feng was ahead, he might still have some hope when the weather was bad, but in sunny weather, there was basically no possibility of overtaking his opponent. It's not that Hamilton doesn't have confidence. It's been proven in many games this year......
……
On November 3, 2008, the Interlagos circuit in Brazil was already full. Everyone knows that whatever the end result, they will be witnessing a new historic moment. Of course, most people are cheering for Ye Feng, and I hope that China Ye can present a super exciting game here for the third year in a row.
Speaking of which, Ye Feng really has an indissoluble bond with this track. Since the year before, every time he has been here, he has been able to give everyone a match that will decide the final championship, and this time it was undoubtedly the same. And Ye Feng's first championship was won after completing the reversal in Brazil. Everyone hopes that Ye Feng can repeat the sweet scene of the 06 season here.
In the deafening shout, Ye Feng started very well, and did not give Hamilton behind him any chance at all. On the contrary, Raikkonen, who was third, also started very well, and even chased to the extent that he was neck and neck with Xiao Hei on the straight before the first corner, but he failed to overtake because his car was on the outside lane, but this also made Hamilton startled, and at the same time, he couldn't help but pay a lot of attention to Raikkonen, who was in hot pursuit, in this sense, the iceman was also trying to fulfill his promise to Ye Feng.
After Ye Feng stabilized the lead position, he began to continue to race on the track, and because the Iceman formed a strong containment of Hamilton from the beginning. So the gap between him and Xiao Hei is constantly widened. After only five laps, Ye Feng was already about 3 years ahead of Hamilton! The advantage of leading + racing speed is vividly embodied
At the same time, Raikkonen is constantly attacking Hamilton, who is at a disadvantage. There have even been two attempts to overtake, only to be unsuccessful due to poor timing. Now all the people who support Ye Feng very much hope that the Iceman can surpass Hamilton. If this is the case, with his suppression of Xiao Hei, Ye Feng can run more calmly on the track, and at the same time, he can avoid some accidents.
As if hearing everyone's voices, and as if he must fulfill his promise to Ye Feng, Raikkonen's third overtaking attempt on lap nine finally got the result he wanted! Hamilton's all-out block at an S-turn sealed the Iceman's line for overtaking, but he also kept his car to a very low speed, and after Raikkonen's ensuing maneuvers, the slower Hamilton was unable to stop his rival on the next reverse corner and the ensuing straight. With his speed, the Iceman finally managed to get his opponent off beautifully on the big straights
As if knowing that such a scene would be the most crucial watershed moment of the race and the season as a whole, the television footage cut keenly to the McLaren and Ferrari teams after Raikkonen had finished overtaking. Dennis, who witnessed that his love was going to be superseded, was naturally very disappointed and kept shaking his head at the monitor. The Ferrari garage at the other end has become a sea of joy, everyone knows that in this way, Ye Feng's victory will add another insurance, and then only Ye Feng needs to finish dozens of laps of the race safely!
No more accidents, no more accidents!
Just like this sunny weather, Ye Feng ran the rest of the race unusually smoothly! When Ye Feng appeared in the last corner of the last lap, all the fans had already stood up and applauded him heartily.
And when Ye Feng, who was waving his right fist, crossed the finish line as the first, the entire Interlagos circuit was completely boiling! Everyone gave Ye Feng the most hysterical cheers!
Ye Feng finally won the second drivers' championship in the history of his career with a perfect victory, and at the same time, he also smashed the dream of Hamilton, a talented man who had unique conditions and the much-anticipated talent on the first day of entering F1. It's just that unlike last year, Ye Feng snatched this championship into his arms......
……
At this moment, in the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, Ye Feng, who held the championship trophy high, was no longer the calm he was when he was in the race, and the honor that he finally got after going through a lot of hardships made him feel mixed feelings in his heart. In Ye Feng's heart, although the Ferrari team was far stronger than the Williams team he was in before, he felt that this championship was more difficult than his last championship!
When the "March of the Volunteers" was played loudly, Ye Feng, who was standing on his chest, could no longer control his feelings, and tears slipped wantonly, unlike Raikkonen, who was still calm and normal after the big reversal last year, Ye Feng was now crying like a child under the watchful eye.
In the lonely back of Hamilton when he left, Raikkonen and Domenikali both came up and hugged Ye Feng tightly, they are all those who have been watching Ye Feng step by step out of the trough, and only they understand how hard this Chinese has worked for today's championship.
There was no champagne spraying as usual, and there was no post-victory cheering, as the Ferrari trio were hugging each other tightly, and Hamilton, who felt he was redundant, had already left early. But it did not affect this alternative award ceremony, which once again deeply moved all those who saw this scene.
As a later media outlet commented on this scene:
"Ye Feng will always be the most unique and eye-catching person among F1 drivers, from his passionate driving, to his lonely heroic holding up a crumbling old team, to his indulgent tears at Interlagos today, this Chinese has always been able to easily conquer everyone who has watched him with his heart with that unique thing.
Ye Feng always said that he and Senna had one connection or another, maybe everyone always laughed at such a statement. But it seems that after that god left, there was no one like Ye Feng who could let everyone watch him play
