……

Almost like mushrooms after a rain, the news of Ye Feng's official signing with Ferrari was published by the major mainstream media in just 10 hours.

And because this transfer involving a huge contract was revealed, it quickly caused a great shock around the world.

Looking at last season when Ye Feng knocked Schumacher and Williams to snatch the championship trophy from Ferrari in the future, no one would believe that such a transfer would be Ye Feng and Ferrari. It is precisely this impossibility that caused a sensation after the news was issued.

Williams' fans are still dreaming of recreating the glory of F1 for many years under the leadership of Ye Feng and Massa.

McLaren, who has lost Raikkonen, is busy preparing for Alonso's arrival. And they are also the team that has been rumored to form a dream lineup with the highest voice.

Renault is looking for a replacement for the Spaniard and is trying to absorb the huge impact of Alonso's departure.

As for Ferrari, the focus was only on the loss of the king of cars and the acquisition of the Finn. The team, which has not won a single title for the second year in a row, performs in the new season.

It all happened when everyone but Williams and Ferrari was unprepared.

McLaren and Reynolds fans were naturally overjoyed to see Williams suffer, but they were also a little jealous of Ferrari's strength after signing Ye Feng.

Ferrari fans were a little unable to digest the news that the Chinese were about to wear red shirts for a while. Because last season, the Chinese driver's victory made them so sad and desperate, and it was this driver who ruined their last perfect performance before retiring.

And now, when they are preparing to support the Finns in a powerful revenge operation against the hated Briton and Ye Feng in the new season, they find that this guy who they hated to the bone has become one of them.

It seems like an April Fool's joke by God and them. No matter how emotionally they can't accept this, but at the same time they intellectually understand that in any case, this Chinese is a guy who has just won the world championship, and his arrival should bring a lot of help to the team that is in the process of renewing.

This is indeed an extremely contradictory choice! Most Ferrari fans expressed their incomprehension of the transfer, and some even questioned whether the team's salary for Ye Feng after signing Raikkonen was worth it even more than the Finn's. Of course, there are many Ferrari fans who expressed their heartfelt joy and blessings for Ye Fengdi's arrival.

At this time, the saddest thing is probably the large number of Williams fans. Even the glory of their recent return to the top of the world could not dilute their huge sense of loss after losing Ye Feng. Everyone who has watched the Williams team in the past few years should know. What role did Ye Feng play in this team that was once in a trough.

It can be said that without Ye Feng, there would be no current powerful Williams, let alone the world champion who regained after many years. Every Williams fan already regards Ye Feng as the absolute leader of the team, and his personal charisma and influence are even higher than that of the respected Sir Frank Williams! But it was precisely such a character who suddenly left them. This sense of loss and frustration is even far greater than Senna's sudden death. After all, the Brazilian car god has been here for too short.

So after a brief moment of collective stunned, angry and disappointed Williams fans began to make their voices heard. Many of them gathered in front of the team's headquarters and asked loudly that since Ye Feng was so important, why couldn't they offer a contract that was the same or even better than Ferrari's to keep him?

There are also fans who are loudly accusing Ye Feng, a greedy and ungrateful guy. For the sake of money, everyone will be ruthlessly abandoned. But most Williams fans see more of Ye Feng's achievements for this team, they just can't accept that such a guy they love will leave like this.

In short, in this wet and cold winter in England, the sad and depressed atmosphere of Williams fans can be felt everywhere......

……

'The purpose of today's press conference is to confirm that I have signed a contract with Scuderia Ferrari and to share some of my personal thoughts on the signing.

Facing the black pressure of all kinds of media reporters in the audience. Ye Feng, who was wearing a red Ferrari team hat, didn't look like much joy at getting a big contract. There are also many gestures of joy for him to integrate into the new as soon as possible

It helps to get the approval of Ferrari fans as soon as possible, but Ye Feng is this. At this moment, he thinks more of the Williams fans who need his explanation and comfort.

"Frankly, making the decision to leave Williams was a difficult and painful one for me. Here I want to emphasize first of all. After I first offered to leave, the Williams team and Frank and others were always as understanding as possible. Moreover, in order to retain me, they also made many touching attempts and efforts.

Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to them. But the final decision on whether to stay is up to me, so I think the fans who think the Williams team is inactive about my departure can stop attacking the team.

So. The next question should be why I chose to leave when the Williams team was good enough for me. I would like to make it clear that my love for the Williams team and the fans has never changed. Whether I'm there or I'm away now doesn't change that, and I won't forget the hundreds of memorable days I lived with all of you.

However, I would also like to ask you to understand that it has been a dream of mine since I was a child to play for Scuderia Ferrari. Like every normal person who loves the sport, the desire to be part of the team you loved at the beginning is no different.

So, I love the Williams team that made me a world champion, but my choice now is Ferrari! Turnover is actually a commonplace thing in this league, so please understand my decision with Williams fans! Thank you! ”

Ye Feng said in a low voice that these words were completely different from the diplomatic rhetoric spoken by ordinary drivers. Everyone can feel his sincerity at this time. The reporters who were originally going to ask a lot of difficult questions seemed to be infected by this emotion, and it was only after Ye Feng finished speaking for a while that everyone reacted and began to ask questions......

……

Ye Feng's transfer is undoubtedly the biggest news in this winter. The reason why people are so surprised is also because Ye Feng and Alonso and Raikkonen left after the breakdown of their relationship with the team, he left suddenly in a sweet period with the team. It's as incomprehensible as Hakkinen's sudden retirement at his peak.

However, after Ye Feng's sincere explanation, this trend was much smaller than before. In TV, Ye Feng's nostalgia for the Williams team and fans has also changed many people's opinions of him. Now, only a few extreme Williams fans are still cursing Ye Feng, and most of them have been able to face this matter peacefully.

It's just that the press conference flattered British fans, but at the same time, it also offended many Italian fans who didn't like Ye Feng very much. They hated Ye Feng's attitude of never forgetting the old master, and they also thought that Ferrari was sticking to Ye Feng's cold ass with a hot face.

So in the days before the season started, there were already many voices questioning whether Ye Feng could stay in Ferrari for a long time. For the fans of the Red Team, they may not doubt Ye Feng's ability, but they are beginning to doubt whether Ye Feng can generate enough loyalty to Ferrari.

However, for Ye Feng, everything he can do has been done, and this transfer has ended. The most important thing now is to get familiar with Ferrari's management system as soon as possible in the run-up to the season, and to develop a good understanding with the team that works for him. The latter is undoubtedly an important guarantee of a driver's success in a team.

Unlike Williams's previous overtime, the Ferrari team in December [on leave. Ye Feng had nothing to do, so he went to Germany to help Hurricane prepare for the upcoming RC next year.

With the steady improvement of the two racing cars in the past two years, the team's appeal to the outside world has increased significantly than ever. When Ye Feng came to his own team, he found that most of the technicians here had been replaced, and many of the original people had been eliminated because they did not adapt to the requirements of a higher level, and more experienced technicians had been absorbed. This has also led to a further improvement in the strength of the team.

There was basically no need for Ye Feng to worry about technical matters, so he became a temporary test driver of the team, and constantly played rally cars with Gu Qing, Sunshine and others in the test site in the mountains of Germany.

I have to say that this is a completely unfamiliar project for Ye Feng, and Gu Qing and Sunshine have improved rapidly in the past few years. So during this time, Ye Feng, the new F1 world champion, has suffered a lot in the Racing Wind Speed Team. Of course, he also learned a lot of rally driving experience from Gu Qing, and at the same time, Ye Feng began to like this competition, which was completely different from the track race.

On January 14, 2007, when the day finally came for the Ferrari team to regroup, Ye Feng also left Germany and began to join the red prancing horse team of his dreams for the first time.
