Chapter 202: Hot

Overnight, Ye Feng became the darling of the whole world. This was initially shown at the Bank of England press conference, not to mention Kimi, who fought hard to win a runner-up in a sub-race. Raikkonen, even Schumacher, who has already won 10 points in 11 races, has been thrown aside by many media. Almost all the reporters focused their lenses on Ye Feng, who was still a little depressed because of Trulli's accident. This couldn't help but flatter the third-place winner of this year's Grand Prix, who was supposed to be the most low-key. After doing everything he could, Lao Ye escaped with the "gloating" smile of the car king

However, what happened next was not something that Ye Feng and the people around him could think of. When Ye Feng, who had slept in the hotel where he had slept in the hotel where he had returned to the convoy and arranged accommodation for Lao Ye, appeared lazily in the hotel lobby, something happened that made this guy suddenly forget all his tiredness! At this time, the lobby of this hotel was full of fans waving Williams team scarves, and no one could stand still when they saw the Chinese who continuously surprised everyone in such a bad situation for the team.

So without warning, and I don't know who took the lead, no less than 500 fans were extremely enthusiastic to surround the old leaves who were standing in a daze. Everyone wants to take a closer look at what kind of genius this Chinese driver is, if Ye Feng in the first stop feels more like a rookie who doesn't know anything but has good luck, at this time Ye Feng has become a new idol and hero in the hearts of many Williams team loyalists!

Such a huge scene, except for the old Ye who had never seen such a formation, was suppressed on the spot. At the same time, the security forces of this hotel also seemed so small and weak in the face of such a big scene. After this chaotic situation lasted for some time, the hotel in response remembered to notify the British police to come and help. And the police who rushed to hear the news actually didn't expect the situation here to be so chaotic. So after urgently increasing the police force many times, Lao Ye, who was surrounded by many British fans for a full 1 and a half hours, was fished out of the crowd by the British police, got into a police car and left first. But even so, a large number of fans still refused to disperse from the hotel where Lao Ye stayed for a long time

That three-star hotel Ye Feng obviously couldn't go back, and at this time, Ye Feng's security force was obviously ridiculously weak. That was the first reaction of Serena Williams and the team's management when they learned of it. After that, their actions were quite fast, except for picking Ye Feng back from the British police, Serena Williams instructed the team to find a small building for Ye Feng as quickly as possible. But all kinds of facilities are well equipped to stay in small villas. Moreover, the team also allocated a special fund and signed a 24-hour security agreement with a security company to protect Ye Feng's personal safety, and Ye soon enjoyed the hug before going out, and the luxury RV attached to the team was responsible for his daily pick-up and drop-off treatment.

Soon, Lao Ye was taking a bath, and there would be several bodyguards standing outside his bathroom! Even later, the security company lowered the level of security guards under Ye Feng's strong request, leaving Lao Ye with enough personal space in his opinion. But according to the Sennadian dialect, Ye Feng's previous ordinary life has come to an end completely, and it has been replaced by a "celebrity" life surrounded by all kinds of high-tech measures and bodyguards. Thinking that this will be the life for the next few years, Lao Ye's heart shuddered. But thinking about the situation that day when he was surrounded by many fans in the center and couldn't move, Lao Ye could only smile bitterly and reluctantly accept this reality

In fact. Being stuck in a hotel by a car fan was just a prelude to the incident. What really pushed Ye Feng's popularity to another peak were the various media that sensitively smelled the gimmick from Ye Feng. All the media in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and China who realized that Ye Feng was a high-performing stock with great potential almost started hyping Ye Feng as soon as the competition ended in the UK.

From Ye Feng's primary school, middle school and university dropout, from Ye Feng's solo training at the go-kart circuit to his establishment of China's first independent private team, and then the launch of the team's first race car far ahead of the technical level of other teams, to Ye Feng's first race in China's CCC from the Zhuhai circuit to the grueling Dakar. From a friendly race at Le Mans in France to the current Silverstone podium in F1

All the media are working hard to dig up and report all the valuable clues of Ye Feng, and it is the professional attitude of the media reporters that the hybrid of a young team owner who has risen rapidly in a short period of time and a young racing genius who can stand on the podium of F1 in a row after only two races is so vividly displayed in front of everyone. This kind of Ye Feng is so full of magic and alternative, and the mysterious racing career makes every fan who has never seen such a development trajectory talk about it. to the end. Even the most demanding fans have to admit that Ye Feng has made an almost completely impossible leap in more than a year, isn't this genius?

I know when it started, "Ye Feng, an unborn racing day began to spread in the community, and the media's god-making ability was finally infinitely magnified to the extreme for the first time in Ye Feng's body at this moment, under the bombardment of many uninterrupted continuous information. A lifelike "genius leaf" was molded in front of everyone. And after that, the major manufacturers came to sponsor or sign Ye Feng, which was just a by-product of this god-making movement. Once again, the so-called "uncrowned kings" behind the scenes are finally starting to rejoice at their excellent work

However, is this Ye Feng still the old Ye who is a little green, nervous and happy, and is often teased by Petrus?

No one knows, but maybe no one wants to know now

"Day! Plug Boss! I didn't just finish on the podium twice. And then help the team temporarily catch up with Renault, who was previously third in the standings? It's not that I beat Michael directly. Schumacher, are those people out there so excited? ”

Now after reading the latest issue of the local newspaper's comments on himself, Ye Feng threw those clichés aside, and at the same time said to Senna in his heart. However, this guy's tone is still a little insincere. To say that in the face of such hype and so much praise from the outside world, it is impossible for Di Ye Feng to have no changes in his heart and some fluttering vanity swelling. But in front of Senna, Lao Ye didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Now he and Senna are inseparable and even sleep together, in other words, Ye Feng has been trying to restrain himself from the beginning because of the presence of Boss Sai

"Boy! You're really cheap and good! You think it's really uncommendable that you've only been on the podium in two races in a row? Do you think it's so light to say that you've scored 12 points in two races and helped the team get closer to the competitors in front of you? After listening to Ye Fengdi's "complaint", Senna uncharacteristically did not criticize Ye Feng, but in the form of two rhetorical questions, in a sense, he increased the affirmation of Ye Feng's achievements at this time, which made the listener Ye Feng very happy

"12 points! Brat! That's a full 12 points! No driver for many years does not necessarily have a 12-point resume when he retires. How many teams have struggled for years until they disbanded, and they may not be able to get even a single point in the brutally competitive F1 race!

And now that you've earned 12 points in two consecutive stops as a rookie, you think people are hyping you in an empty way? Is it a hypocritical compliment on you?

No! Brat! That's because you did do something that no one else would have dared to think of! From this point of view, their praise for you is not too much, and it can even be described as apt! ”

Just when Lao Ye thought that the Che King would definitely criticize him after affirming himself just now, Senna did not stop praising Ye Feng at all. To be honest, this is the first time that Lao Ye has heard so many positive affirmations of him in the mouth of the Che King. Thinking of this, Lao Ye is really a little fluttering! Even his own mentor, the car god who has always been very reserved, said so, isn't it that he Ye Feng is really awesome enough

"But, boy! I don't know if you've thought about it from a different angle. Does all this really mean you've made the transition from a rookie to a genius?

In both races, apart from your play, your car didn't have any breakdowns. None of the team members made any major mistakes during the race. Michael's tactics are also decent enough to ensure that you get the position you deserve to win. Everything looks so perfect and smooth.

But do you think you, the car and the team will always be in the same shape as they are now? If there had been even a little bit of a big mistake in the previous two races, do you think you would have achieved such impressive results? If not, then think about what the media will say about you now, and what your colleagues in the team will think of you? And how will those fans remember you as a newcomer?

Maybe the question above is too acute. So let's put it another way, with the perfect situation above, do you think that if you put the drivers who have been fighting for a point all their lives in the environment you were in, they will be able to achieve the same results as you? If they do, can it be said that they are also born wizards in the world of racing? And have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn't play for an established team like Williams in your first race but a team like Minardi? Will it still be as beautiful as it is now?

Brat! Think about the questions I mentioned. Think them through. You will understand what kind of environment and reality you are in right now."

The car god continued the above words, and ignored the complacency in Ye Feng's heart, so he lightly asked one question after another. There was not a word of criticism or attack on Ye Feng from beginning to end. And at this time, listening to Senna calmly ask these deafening questions lightly, Ye Feng was also very good

The impetuosity and frivolity that nearly permeated the whole body were completely erased, and the guy fell into a quiet thought. The more I think about it. Senna's question just now was more deeply imprinted in Lao Ye's heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Ye Feng's previous impetuousness was so naïve and ridiculous

"Boss Sey. I think I get what you mean! After a long time, Di Ye Feng was deeply in thought before he said lightly to Senna, at this time, Lao Ye's heart had fully understood Senna's words, and he also had an answer in his heart

"Yes! Brat! If only you could understand me! Remember, no matter what time it gets, never forget that you're just a professional driver! Winning the game is your duty and obligation! That's all! Also feeling Ye Feng's consciousness, Senna didn't say anything more. Instead, he lightly added a note to this conversation that actually affected Ye Feng's entire racing career

Ye Feng was discussing the core positioning of a driver with his mentor, and at this time, the old Williams sitting in the office was looking out the window and thinking about some difficult problems that made him a little uncertain.

There was no doubt that Ye Feng's success was something that the old man did not expect. At that time, the old Williams who had the mentality of breaking the jar and breaking never thought that when he completely gave up this season, Ye Feng, who was completely ignored by himself, could bring the Williams team to the status of regaining the status of the runner-up of the competition team by virtue of consecutive podiums. Truth be told, Serena Williams still hasn't figured out how this all happened, but it's clear that this isn't what he needs to care about right now!

Montoya was bound to leave the convoy, and Schumacher Jr.'s whereabouts were still unclear. As the owner of a large fleet. Serena Williams cannot tolerate the team being completely passive and powerless in the face of such a tricky personnel turnover. He felt that from now on he had to do something to ensure that the team would continue to be a core player for years to come, and that identifying the driver squad for the future was an important part of that

In fact, before this, the old man already had a formed idea in his heart. That is to bring Barton back to Williams next year, and then do everything possible to keep Schumacher Jr. But Ye Feng's appearance made Old Williams hesitate.

According to Ye Feng's state and level at this time. Regardless of the team, he should undoubtedly occupy a position as a main driver, and it is absolutely impossible to get a driver who can finish on the podium in a row to continue to be a test driver for the team. This also means that if Williams Sr. chooses Ye Feng, he will have to give up one of Barton and Schumacher Jr.

But. It's a really hard question! Barton is the best young performer of the season, and he is also a British driver, the darling of thousands of Britons! Bringing it back to Williams will certainly go a long way in shaping the team's image among British fans! Barton is also the darling of advertising and entertainment, and his return can also help the Williams team pull in a large sponsorship fee, which is something that the team urgently needs to get done. And the most important thing is that Williams Sr. has taken a fancy to Barton's ability and potential this season. If this driver can be poached, it means that the team immediately has a Mesozoic driver who can still secure the top three drivers even under the attack of Schumacher and Barrichello

Schumacher Jr. clearly has an experience advantage that the other two drivers don't have. This is undoubtedly very important for the structural stability of a fleet. And, Williams Sr. thinks Schumacher Jr.'s previous slump was more due to poor performances in the early stages of the season's new car. If the Germans wait until they are fully recovering and then driving a car that is competitive enough, Schumacher Jr. can still make a big contribution to the team's results. Other than that. The inextricable connection between Schumacher Jr. and BMW is also a point that Serena Williams Sr. takes into account. Especially when the team was eventful, Serena Williams did not dare to take the risk of sweeping BMW's darling out of the house. But the only thing that made it difficult for the old man to accept was the high salary that the German could barely afford, which was one of the biggest obstacles to Schumacher Jr.'s contract renewal with the team.

And what makes the old man most uncertain now is whether Ye Feng's performance in the first two stops is based on luck or strength. What if he keeps this driver and he performs as mediocre as he did at the start of the season? Chinese drivers have a "criminal record" in this regard. This could not but arouse the old sir's worries. For Serena Williams, both Barton and Schumacher Jr. have clear advantages in front of them that can be seen by the old man, and Ye Feng is only an x-factor that cannot be determined by anything compared to the two, is it worth taking such a risk? Now Serena Williams is all over his mind with this question

"Let's see how it goes! It's always not wrong to take a closer look at the situation! After a while, the old man said to himself in his heart
