For a "brave" decision by the CAA and Pei Yong's team, the FIA, F1 Development Company and the people of Scuderia Ferrari were momentarily speechless at a time when the world was excited.

Never before has a country's motorsport governing body imposed a ban or fine on an active F1 driver in its 50-year history. In this sense, Pei Yong and the China Automobile Federation have at least achieved "unprecedented" and "created a historical precedent".

So in the face of the CAA's decisiveness this time, the initial reaction of these big names in the international racing industry when they learned of this matter was not to be furious, but to be a little dazed. Todd and the others were really a little frightened by Pei Yong.

Then these big names did not rush to express their opinions, but looked up the various rules and regulations in the FIA, the F1 League and other institutions, they hoped to find out the legal basis of this matter, otherwise they would take it for granted to criticize the FAA, and if there are relevant provisions in the article, then they will make jokes and be extremely passive.

However, Moseley and Todd and others were disappointed in the end, because they searched through all the regulations and regulations and failed to find any regulations that could be used as a basis to support the CAAM's punishment of Ye Feng's ban.

In fact, it is impossible for them to find such a provision, because this is almost a "groundbreaking" bold attempt by Chairman Pei Yong, who is "wise and martial", and it is a subtle innovation that has accumulated the "whimsical ideas" of the China Automobile Federation!

However, in making such a decision, Pei Yong and his team did not understand the difference between the composition of the governing bodies at all levels of motorsports and other sports.

Because there are no international national team competitions like the Football World Cup and the Basketball World Championships. Therefore, there is no real relationship of jurisdiction and subordination between the FIA and the local automobile federation of a single country. And more of a relatively independent and parallel relationship. So in this sense, organizations such as the China Automobile Federation, the American Automobile Federation, and the F1 Development Company do not actually have a unified superior. It's more of a different kind of parallel coexistence.

So in principle, even if Ye Feng is a Chinese driver, then it is impossible for Pei Yong and the China Automobile Federation to punish a Chinese player like the Chinese Football Association or the Basketball Association to punish a driver in the F1 league. Say, how about the F1 matter, it is not his turn to Pei Yong and the China Automobile Federation to intervene, even if Ye Feng is Chinese!

Pei Yong and his team did not understand the mystery of this, and it seemed to them that as long as Ye Feng was still a Chinese driver, then he would not be able to escape the palm of the China Automobile Federation. In fact, such a cognitive error cannot be blamed on the arbitrariness of Chairman Pei and others. Because in the traditional Chinese sports world, that's exactly what happened. Even if it caused any negotiations in the future, Pei Yong and the others didn't think it was a big deal.

The China Automobile Federation didn't think it was excessive, but those foreigners who figured out the legal provisions didn't think so. If the CAAM is acting in accordance with the provisions, these foreigners who have grown up in the "spirit of the legal system" environment may really have to pinch their noses and admit it, but if someone wants to rashly get involved in their sphere of influence and core interests without any article background, then it is definitely not something that these foreigners with political struggle experience are actually no worse than Chairman Pei can tolerate! He, the chairman of the China Automobile Federation, why does he want an F1 driver like Ye Feng to be suspended?

As a result, it was Scuderia Ferrari that reacted first to the FIA's decision to ban the race. Six hours after the incident, they held a massive press conference, at which Todd turned pale and his voice was punctuated with anger.

"We don't know what kind of consideration the CAAM based on in making this decision that actually seems ridiculous. Ye Feng is Chinese, yes, but his current identity is an F1 driver! So we don't think that the CAAM's ban decision can affect Ye Feng's continued participation in any F1 races!

Perhaps the CAAM took this penalty decision as a joke and child's play. But we at Scuderia Ferrari don't think it's funny! Because this incident has undoubtedly set a very bad precedent for the world racing pattern that has always been running well, we hope that the CAAM and Chairman Pei Yong can really understand the basis for your decisions before making any decisions in the future! ”

After Ferrari's statement, it was not long followed by a variety of avenues. The biggest names in Formula 1 and other motorsport leagues have also spoken out

The "unreasonable" decision made by Lianhe Pei Yong this time. Some of them are ignorant people, and some people are condemning the behavior of Chairman Pei and others as a blatant trampling and provocation of the world racing order.

And some media that have always been prejudiced and even hostile to China's policies are even more like they have met a baby this time, and they have started to exaggerate the ban and punishment of the China Automobile Federation, and have described the "wise" decision made by Chairman Pei as a typical representative of the "rude", "administrative" and "stereotyped" unique to the "socialist model"! These media even believe that this fully proves once again the poor environment of China's "human rights situation......

Of course, the influence of these media is a small part, but even so, things have developed to this point It is a bit of a problem to bake and torment the CAAM and Chairman Pei......

October 17, 2007, two days before the start of this season's Grand Prix in Brazil. The FIA's boss, Mr. Moseley, has publicly expressed his opinion on the incident:

"I think the CAAM and Mr. Pei Yong were too hasty and arbitrary in making the punishment of Ye Feng's ban, which has caused a lot of negative impact on the FIA and the international racing community. So I personally think that the CAAM bears full responsibility for this incident, and I also have some concerns about maintaining the normal order of motorsports in China......"

Immediately afterwards, Bernie, the boss of F1 Development, also expressed his opinion, this time he did not mention the China Automobile Federation, but from the punishment of Ye Feng, he made him worry about whether the future F1 China Grand Prix will be tainted with too much political color. The scheming Bernie's words seem to be slightly more subtle than Moseley's, but they are even more lethal to the CAAM and Pei Yong.

Because of the huge amount of money spent on the construction of the track, the introduction of F1 to China can be said to be a very important measure of the Shanghai Municipal Government and even the Chinese Government to deepen foreign exchanges and opening up, and its long-term significance is even comparable to an Olympic Games and World Expo, because as long as the track and F1 China Station exists, the world will increase a window and channel to understand China extensively, and China will further integrate into the world through such exchanges.

So whether it's for the political interests behind the Formula 1 race in China, or just to recoup the huge amount of dollars invested, China's top brass must not tolerate a stupid CAAM official destroying the already good situation, retarming the changed impression of China, and allowing the Formula 1 league to question Shanghai's ability to host the event.

Therefore, after Bernie said that, those who know China or don't understand understand that this old man is angry at the extremely ignorant chairman of the China Automobile Federation! Although the Chinese government has not yet made a corresponding decision, it is conceivable that Chairman Pei's days at the CAAM have basically come to an end......

……

On October 19th, the first practice session of the Brazilian station~|I saw the figure of Ferrari driver Ye Feng again, which also means that Ye Feng completely ignored the decision of the CAA to ban the race and still had to participate normally. Although Ye Feng has been silent in this farce, his actions like this undoubtedly gave Pei Yong a resounding slap in the face.

In fact, as soon as the ban was imposed, the China Automobile Federation contacted Ye Feng and Zhang Yu through channels. According to their "private" statement, the CAAM did not make such a punishment to put Ye Feng to death, Chairman Pei still gave Ye Feng, an ignorant young man, a chance to repent and reform. As long as Ye Feng can agree to hold a press conference as soon as possible to apologize for his words and deeds, then the China Automobile Federation will allow Ye Feng and the Racing Wind Speed Team to appeal the ban punishment, and guarantee that Ye Feng's appeal will be successful, so as to revoke all previous punishments.

According to Chairman Pei's private words to Ye Feng, for the sake of the healthy development of China's motorsport, everyone should still be open, seek common ground while reserving differences, and maintain unity! Don't let some small things affect the harmony! Also, as long as Ye Feng and the others can be soft this time, then it is not impossible for the CAAM to consider giving Ye Feng and his team more "care" in the future......

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Feng, who had already changed into his racing suit and was about to start the practice race, felt funny. Those grandsons still want to give him both hard and soft? I still want to wipe my ass clean......
