Chapter 332
The victory took Raikkonen to 62 points, one step closer to Hamil Alonso's 77 points, while Ye Feng 48 is already in fourth place.
It can be said that the battle for the drivers' championship, which had lost some suspense in the previous paragraph, became fierce again with Raikkonen getting closer and closer. And by the end of the five stops left in this race, even the most optimistic fans of Ye Feng basically excluded him from the ranks of competing for the championship this season.
However, at this time, the focus of people's attention is still on the boiling "spy gate". A few days ago, the media has revealed that Jean. Todd has flatly rejected Dennis's request for a settlement, saying that he will resolutely appeal to the end.
Then on the 88th, the International Court of Appeal said it was taking up the case. This was once seen as a sign of new progress in the case.
On the 831st, just after the end of the Turkish Grand Prix5, the FIA wrote a letter to each of the three McLaren drivers, including Hamilton, asking them to take the initiative to cooperate with the FIA, hand over the evidence in their possession that may be unfavorable to the McLaren team, do not conceal anything, strive for leniency, and said that if they cooperate, they will follow the previous principles and will not take punishment measures against them.
The FIA's move caused an immediate uproar, and it was only then that people realised that the problem was far more serious than everyone expected, and that as it stands, several McLaren drivers would soon be caught in the thick of it, and that the FIA was likely to act like an ultimatum when it already had some hard evidence in its possession.
Really. On September 5, 2 years before the start of the Italian race. The Italian police announced that there was evidence that Nikil Stephen was indeed in the case of Ferrari rags and received the latest evidence about the "espionage case", and announced that it would be heard in Ba ~ on the 13th. Almost at the same time, it was revealed in the media that the famous Spanish driver Alonso was involved in the case.
As a result, the situation is already extremely unfavourable for McLaren. Now, with the exception of the McLaren fans, most of the people who have been following the story have come to believe that McLaren did it, and this will undoubtedly be an indelible scandal in the history of the Silver Arrows!
……
In the midst of extremely harsh conditions, the McLaren drivers began their journey to the Italian Grand Prix.
From the moment McLaren arrives at Monza. They were booed by tens of thousands of Italian fans. Hamilton was still relatively relaxed at this time, still trying his best to smile at the media. Alonso, who was already mired in scandal at this time, could no longer laugh, the Spaniard's face was so ugly, which included the dissatisfaction of the team for not giving him enough support at this time, and the disappointment of the owner Dennis, who invited him to England in the first place.
It is clear that even if Alonso is caught in a scandal, then he is using the classified documents he has obtained to serve the team, but McLaren and Dennis have no intention of supporting Alonso at all.
On the contrary, Dennis even said in front of the media that all those suspected of "espionage cases". If so, then you should be held accountable for your actions. Such words and deeds are undoubtedly a kind of naked betrayal.
Ten months ago, when the Spaniard landed in England+ with the idea of regrouping, he could never have imagined that his honeymoon with the Silver Arrows would not even last a season, and he probably wouldn't have thought of it before October. Now he is almost even giving up his position as the team's No. 1 driver to a rookie who has just joined the league.
However, whether Alonso accepts it or not, this is a fact that he has to face. At the moment, there is no longer a little bit of goodwill for McLaren from his face, but there is still a stubbornness in his eyes that he does not want to give up the pursuit of the championship......
At the pre-match press conference. Ye Feng saw the Spaniard with a blue face from a distance. Ye Feng and Alonso's previous battles made them strangers and became absolute mortal enemies, and they ignored no one when they met.
However, at this time, Ye Feng looked at the dilemma of the Spaniards trying to escape from the encirclement of the media, but he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Ye Feng never liked the Spaniard's flamboyant, stubborn and empty-eyed personality, but from the bottom of his heart, he did not deny that this guy was essentially a good driver. As long as Ye Feng meets Alonso on the field, he undoubtedly wants to trample the opponent under his feet, but he doesn't want to see the Spaniard look as embarrassed, helpless and jumping as he is now. This made Ye Feng feel a little sad as a fellow driver.
Even if he became a fatalistic mortal enemy, Ye Feng was not as embarrassed as seeing such an opponent being tied up by factors outside the court and becoming a reservoir dog. Drivers are supposed to be dancers of the purest speed and limits, and Alonso is undoubtedly somewhat pathetic now.
And, in F1. Alonso's current situation in McLaren is undoubtedly clear to Ye Feng.
Ten months ago, he and Alonso seemed to look like that. It's all world champions, and it's all changed
They all have a very high vision and expectation for the future.
Now, ten months later, Alonso is not only mired in scandal, but also left out in the snub by the team, almost on the fringes. And although the relationship between him Ye Feng and Todd and the team is okay, only he really knows how much of his own interests Ye Feng has sacrificed for this, and he has been reduced to Raikkonen's assistant at least this season......
Almost similar experiences and feelings made Ye Feng somewhat able to understand Alonso's mood at the moment, and at the same time had a trace of sympathy for the guy who couldn't look at it before.
At this time, Alonso also happened to turn his head and meet Ye Feng's eyes. Ye Feng couldn't help but nod kindly at the other party for some reason, but he was directly ignored by the Spaniards, and even his eyes still contained provocation.
Ye Feng could only smile helplessly at this, it seems that this guy is such a stinky fart no matter what time he arrives......
……
In the practice session that began on the 97th, Scuderia Ferrari's two cars took the top two of the three practice sessions in one fell swoop, which also strengthened the confidence that the Scuderia Ferrari would once again win on home soil.
However, in qualifying on 8 September, Alonso put in an excellent performance that he had previously misjudged. The Spaniard seemed to want to vent all his off-field grievances in qualifying, and in the end the pole position for this race fell to him in shock.
Immediately behind Alonso was Ye Feng, strictly speaking, his performance was also very good, and he could be regarded as the only one who could compete with Alonso in qualifying, but he still failed to stop the opponent's footsteps. Hamilton and Massa started in the second row, while the Iceman had to start in the third row due to poor performance.
9 September 2007: Team victory at home. At the same time, they are hoping that the team's two drivers can win all five of the remaining races and achieve a great comeback.
Moreover, this game is also the first appearance of Ye Feng and Raikkonen in red jerseys at home. Although the results of the two men this season have not been ideal, the Italian fans still came to cheer on the two, but the two still let the pole position of the pole stand side down.
Amid the deafening cheers, the 22 drivers began the race. Ye Feng used the tangential start from the beginning to firmly suppress Hamilton behind him.
And after suppressing the opponent, Ye Feng did not choose to speed up quickly, but further controlled the speed of the car, and suppressed Hamilton's speed.
Ye Feng was undoubtedly helping Raikkonen behind him by doing this, creating a better and transcendent external environment for the Iceman. Otherwise, with Ye Feng's current position and the relationship between him and Alonso, who was leading in front of him, he would definitely do his best to catch up with his opponent.
It can be said that Ye Feng once again sacrificed himself for the interests of the team and his teammates, and he was even ready to give the car to Raikkonen if necessary.
Ye Feng is undoubtedly such a person, there is no room for negotiation if he agrees on a matter. But if you agree to something, you will never think about it again, and you will definitely complete it beautifully.
It can be said that Raikkonen is undoubtedly the happiest driver at the moment. Because he has a world champion driver like Ye Feng who is covering him with all his heart and providing strong help.
Sure enough, until Raikkonen used his speed to overtake Massa, Hamilton neither overtook Ye Feng, nor could he pull the distance between himself and the iceman behind him large enough. The depressed Hamilton really couldn't understand that Ye Feng, this guy put Alonso in front of him and didn't chase him, why did he block him slowly, didn't this guy want to win the championship?
At this time, Ye Feng, who had already made up his mind to defend and suppress his opponent, had completely devoted himself to the game, completely forgetting himself to practice his skills such as defensive positions and cornering skills when defending.
In short, the more ferocious Xiao Hei attacked behind, the higher the value of Ye Feng's actual combat training at this stop. Anyway, under his wholehearted defense, Xiao Hei's various offensive methods have no effect.
And under Ye Feng's defense, the suppressed Xiao Hei was not only chased to the front by the iceman, but also had to pit with Ye Feng, watching the iceman continue to run wildly on the track, using the advantage of the light car to continue to eat away at his lead.
Five laps later, when the Iceman came out of the pits, he managed to overtake Hamilton with the advantage he had built-up.
After another three laps, Ye Feng automatically gave up the second position to the iceman. It's just that Alonso, who is in a hurry, has already pulled his advantage a lot at the moment. In the end, the Iceman's best efforts were unable to pose a threat to Alonso.
But no one can deny that the two Ferrari drivers have undoubtedly completed another perfect intra-team combination......
