Chapter 247: Unstoppable (2)
The San Marino race was just an accident for me and for the Renault team, and it wasn't ruled out that Williams had to change to a new car. But I would like to stress one thing that our Renault team is already at the forefront of other teams in terms of car and preparation for all kinds of work! I'm sure we'll have a good mood in North America and win two more championships! Our only goal this year is to win both the team and the drivers! And I am even more convinced that Alonso will still bring us more surprises! ”
This is the rhetoric of the old playboy Briatoli in the face of Canadian journalists. Although Ye Feng and Williams Racing showed very strong momentum in the just concluded qualifying session, Briatol, as the leader of this season, still believes that he has an unstoppable advantage this season. And when the reporters have already received satisfactory answers from the Renault boss with gimmicky answers, their fingers are immediately pointed at Alonso next to them, and the questions are still sharp......
......After listening to the reporters' questions, Alonso groaned for a while before continuing, "In my opinion, we are still the strongest contenders for the title!" For me, I'd rather face Raikkonen and Schumacher as opponents, because every time I play against a stronger opponent, it always inspires me to fight the most! ...... For Ye Feng, first of all, I would like to congratulate him on winning the first race of his career, but I would like to say that I would like to look at the resume of each F1 driver. As you will see, winning a race is not an easy task for a driver. But at least there are quite a few riders who have done it! I think we're talking about the winner of the championship for a whole season! And not a game! These are two questions on a completely different level! You know, the real winner is decided in 16 or 17 races! ”
It can be said that Alonso's answer was unexpected by the reporters who interviewed the scene! Soon, when the Spaniard's clear and vocal words echoed throughout Renault's press conference, the reporters below were even excited to go up and kiss the blunt Alonso. Obviously, with this passage, tomorrow's report will have another hyped gimmick! "Alonso despises Ye Feng!" Maybe a very good proposition! And in fact. The Spaniards do mean that......
......
“***! What madness is this Spanish kid crazy? He himself doesn't need to belittle others so much! Which of our leaves is worse than him? If it weren't for the fact that our new car came a few stops later than theirs, we don't know what they would have lost! The next day, the local newspaper added fuel to the news, which did completely infuriate the entire Williams team. No, the one who is complaining loudly with the newspaper is Petrus in the driver's locker room, this guy was originally holding the newspaper and chatting with Lao Ye who was preparing to play in the qualifying race, but he didn't expect to see such a piece of angry news......
"Huh! You guy, after all this time, still believe what is written in the newspaper? Of course, Lao Ye, who was putting on a thick racing suit for himself, didn't care about Pete, a naturally impulsive guy, he just smiled faintly at the other party and said.
"But here it is clearly marked as a quote from Briatoli and Alonso! He says that a win doesn't mean anything, and that he's now thinking about the final winner of a season! I really don't know if it's belittled us? After listening to Lao Ye's heartless answer, Pete naturally didn't do it. He said angrily, still waving a newspaper.
There's nothing wrong with him saying that, after all, he's still the leader of the drivers. And it also shows that neither he nor Renault are world champions after all! So he's going to have to be desperate to convince everyone in all aspects that he's capable of winning the title. That's probably the mindset of every rider who has come to his position. I believe that if this question had been answered by Schumacher, he would have laughed it off! ...... All right! Peter. Cheer up! It's our turn! Champions don't just say they say it! ”
After experiencing this period of setbacks, Ye Feng's mentality has already become much more mature than before. In the infinitely depressed first six races, Lao Ye has always lived the days of a strong man standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up at the top of the mountain. Of course, he had resentment and depression. There was even restlessness. But now when he and Williams began to re-embark on the road of dancing with the strong, Ye Feng found that he was only focusing on the game itself. So after changing into his race suit, he walked over and patted Petrus and said that, and then calmly walked towards the pit lane......
......
Bernie and his F1 management company's painstaking efforts in North America have proven to be paying off. Thanks to the advertising campaign, the attendance of the Canadian Grand Prix qualifying session alone has increased by 30% compared to last year! The atmosphere in the arena has improved significantly! And right there
The hot atmosphere in Europe and Asia is almost the same as that of the fans, and several young drivers who have been hyped by the media for a long time have all started to take action in qualifying......
Naturally, the riders who had been on the field didn't get everyone interested. And the first real high point of qualifying came with the appearance of Finnish iceman Raikkonen! Unlike the high-profile Renault and Alonso, the Finns who are closely chasing in the drivers' championship are low-key and silent with the Silver Arrows. But on the track, Lekot is not ambiguous at all! Soon. He improved his previous fastest time by 0.5 seconds! This is quite an impressive achievement! It has undoubtedly caused a very huge psychological pressure on the later players.
After a long wait, Alonso's sky-blue Renault car attracted a louder shout than the Finnish Iceman's appearance! And in the midst of this hustle and bustle of the sound of human construction and the roar of machinery, the Spaniard and his sky-blue chariot seemed to exude an incomparably strong fighting spirit, and began their own timing lap gallop at a dizzying speed! In the end, a gust of blue wind drifted by, and the time was frozen on 1 minute 561! It's 0 faster than the fastest Raikkonen just now.
Soon, under the strong performance of these two young talents in the car world, the subsequent Williams driver Massa and the McLaren driver Montoya, who also finished second in the last race, were defeated one after another, and now everyone's eyes are on Ye Feng, who played well in the previous practice session and the first stage of qualifying! But given that the best result on the track has been raised to a very high level by Alonso at this time, many people don't think that Ye Feng and his FW-27 can surpass the seemingly impossible result!
In the midst of everyone's complicated mood, Ye Feng and his dark blue Williams racing car finally appeared! At this time, there was a huge cheer in the stands at the entrance of the maintenance aisle, because it was the stands where Chinese compatriots in Canada gathered, and they were supporting this young man who won glory for Chinese people around the world in their own ways. And as the long blue shadow drifted away, Ye Feng began his own gallop......
This is undoubtedly a game that worries everyone, making countless Renault fans feel a little relaxed, and countless Ye fans feel nervous that Ye Feng is a little slower than Alonso when he passes the first timing point. And as Ye Feng's car entered the multi-bend area of the track, the advantage of FW-27's corner stability was finally fully reflected 0.083! This is the result of Ye Feng's strength in the back. And as Ye Feng flew past the last corner, the exciting moment finally arrived......
0.134 seconds! Ye Feng finally squeezed the opponent who had just "mocked" him to second place with a more amazing performance in the second half, and only the Chinese fans at the exit of the pit lane were the happiest......
......
"Hey! Leaf! Congratulations on your pole position, you did a great job today! Just as Lao Ye had just walked out of the team's locker room, a low voice sounded behind him. Ye Feng turned his head to look, but it was Raikkonen, who won the third place on the grid today, which couldn't help but make Lao Ye feel a little surprised, because he had almost fought with Alonso since he entered F1 for so long, but he had no contact with Raikkonen. And the Finns have always been known for being cold, why did this guy take the initiative to greet him Ye Feng?
"Hey! Raikkonen, how could it be you? You're doing a great job today, too! What, what's the matter? Although Ye Feng was surprised, he hadn't forgotten to greet the other party.
"Well......," said the Finn leaning against the wall, after a cool thought, "it's nothing, I just want to tell you that I actually have more gas than you!" Otherwise, I'd be faster than you! ”
Raikkonen's words amused Lao Ye at once, why did this guy say this as soon as he came up? Besides, how did he know that he had less oil than he had added? What a weird guy!
"Hehe, how do you know that I must have less oil than yours? It's impossible to say which of us will be faster! ”
"I just know anyway! Just wait! I'll be sure to show you the real speed tomorrow! As if knowing that the other party didn't believe his words, Raikkonen didn't answer Lao Ye's question, and simply left such a sentence and then turned away.
"Hey! Raikkonen! What the hell are you trying to say to me? Is it a challenge? Or do you want to prove something? The dewy old leaf saw that the other party was leaving, so he shouted violently.
"Oh! BY THE WAY, YOU CAN CALL ME KIMI IN THE FUTURE! I'm looking for you just to make you faster tomorrow! That's what makes it interesting! Raikkonen turned his head in response, and after saying his plausible words, he ignored Lao Ye and walked away......
