October 12th, Friday practice at Suzuka Circuit in 2000, is the season finale.

Compared with other tracks, which tend to have a circular layout, the Suzuka Circuit has a figure-8 layout, which is a little smaller in terms of visual effect. But Suzuka is still a standard F1 circuit with 100,000 people, and even if it was just a practice session today, more than 50,000 spectators were in attendance.

More importantly, on the track today, almost half of the sky is a sea of red, and countless Chinese or overseas Chinese in Japan came to the Suzuka Circuit to give Zhang Yifei the warmest support.

Because of Zhang Yifei's experience in the American Grand Prix, many Chinese audiences are also in the eyes. They never imagined that Zhang Yifei, who was fighting alone in a foreign country, would suffer the cold eyes and ridicule of hundreds of thousands of people in the audience.

It is this scene that makes many Chinese people understand that the pressure and hardships that Zhang Yifei has come from along the way shows the value of his achievements today!

In addition to these factors, geographical factors also occupy a very important reason, after all, Japan is a neighboring country, and it is much easier for Chinese audiences to come to Japan to support Zhang Yifei than to go to the United States to watch the game live.

In fact, in addition to Chinese people and overseas Chinese, there are really not a few Japanese supporters in this red sea today.

As the only automobile country in Asia, coupled with their national character of advocating the strong, Zhang Yifei's performance and achievements have undoubtedly conquered many Japanese fans.

And the news of Zhang Yifei's appearance on the Wangan Line yesterday has also spread rapidly throughout the entire underground racing industry in Japan, and it can be expected that many years later, this night will become a legendary moment on the Wangan Line, and it will be passed on by many underground drivers with a yearning tone.

The three major GT drivers in Japan, plus the assembly of the next generation of F1 Asia's kings, are all exciting scenes to think about. Therefore, many underground drivers who came here also came to the Suzuka Circuit to witness Zhang Yifei's demeanor.

At the Pit Stop of the Prost Racing Team, Zhang Yifei looked at the fluttering red on the track, and for a moment, he wondered if he was in the wrong place!

Is this really a Japanese track?

After running so many F1 races, Zhang Yifei was able to be treated indifferently throughout the whole process, which can be regarded as thankful. Most of the time, he is like an "enemy of the whole people", and almost all the stands are cold eyes and ridicule.

However, for such a scene, Zhang Yifei has never been surprised from the beginning, if he wants to become the "game-breaker" and break the monopoly of European and American formula cars, as well as the consistent superiority of those European and American fans, he will inevitably suffer from their hostility.

What's more important is that in a hostile situation, Zhang Yifei doesn't pretend to be a grandson, he is crazy and jumping, who is he not targeting you?

"Brother Fei, there are a lot of supporters today, it feels like our home field."

Ah Hu looked at the sea of red in the stands, the expression on his face was very happy, after all, this is the first time in Zhang Yifei's F1 career that supporters occupy an advantageous position in the audience.

"Don't be surprised, little scene!"

Zhang Yifei pretended to reply indifferently, but in fact, he was still very happy in his heart, after all, he was not a masochist, and it was better to support than to ridicule.

"Brother Fei, is this really a small scene?"

"Of course, one day, you will be able to see the whole audience red!"

Zhang Yifei was sure to reply, and he believed that this day was not far away.

Some people are happy, some people are worried, and Montoya of the Williams team is looking at the sea of red on the track at the moment, and his eyes are a little red.

Once upon a time, he enjoyed a scene countless times more spectacular than here, received the support and cheers of more than 300,000 people, and maybe even a world record!

I used to have everything, and it was all away in the blink of an eye!

At the moment when he was about to reach the top, everything was knocked out of the track, allowing Zhang Yifei to be shattered!

Honor, victory, and even dignity! If before Montoya only regarded defeating Zhang Yifei as a symbol to prove his strength, then now he is an outright enemy.

To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself!

Many times people are like this, only remembering the scene of themselves falling from the top to the trough, but forgetting that on the Brazilian circuit, Montoya used almost the same means to knock Zhang Yifei out of the first championship of his career.

The only difference is that Montoya did not lose confidence in himself this time, at least he thinks that in the US Grand Prix, he is better than Zhang Yifei, but the Chinese are too mean!

In addition to Montoya, there is also Villeneuve, if the Indianapolis circuit was the peak of his career, then standing on the track of that year is a shame for his career!

Now Villeneuve, which can be described as a laughing stock, has watched himself go from a protagonist, to a supporting role, and finally to a stepping stone.

Zhang Yifei's humiliation became the fuse, and the complaint of the Ferrari team became that powder keg. Almost everyone now knows that Grand Slam kings will even use such dirty means in order to win.

After all, Villeneuve hit Schumacher, and the number of fans of the strongest man in the car world is extremely terrifying. It can only be said that Villeneuve was going to use the means on Zhang Yifei, but he didn't control himself when his head was hot, which made Schumacher experience it.

If Montoya is from peak to trough, and there are still many supporters who are fighting for him, then the current Villeneuve is from heaven to hell. In just half a month, from the previous boast of the Grand Slam king, to now many people despise and despise.

But Montoya at least has the strength and potential, and he is still a big three driver, and he has a powerful "Sabertooth Tiger" car, which can give him a chance to fight. And Villeneuve, really only left with incompetent rage,

Because he found that not only could he Schumacher run, but even Zhang Yifei didn't seem to be able to win. The reversal needs to be supported by strength, and it can only be said that he gave up his future and dreams for money.

A driver should be like the Olympic spirit, to develop higher, faster, stronger. Instead of winning the Indy 500 championship and the F1 world championship, he began to "just suck the money".

Schumacher has never been born great, Schumacher took on the notoriety of forcing Senna to death when he debuted, and later his character of "unscrupulous" for the sake of victory can be described by the four words of notoriety.

But why Schumacher finally became the god of the car and became the most famous and great driver in the world is that he never gave up on climbing to a higher peak. Even in the end, the only thing he can surpass is himself!

Therefore, the fall of Villeneuve today is of his own choice.

As for the last party, Xiong Long, he now has no chance to turn the tables Zhang Yifei at all, unless he takes advantage of the ring to block the car like before.

But once this kind of thing is done, everyone won't say anything, or they don't care. If you continue to maliciously block the car, you will definitely nail yourself to the shame rack, no matter how good Yang Long is, he will not be stupid to this point.

It can only be said that this is the reality, Yang Long's most well-prepared US Grand Prix has lost, and the other circuits have no hope of making up for the gap with Zhang Yifei.

F1 has never been a place where 99% of the sweat is all about a day, only 100% genius is qualified to be an F1 driver.

The rest is to fight for who has a higher ceiling and who has not wasted their talent.

Throughout his life, Xiong Long may only be able to look up to Zhang Yifei's light.

The practice session of the Japanese Grand Prix was much less gunpowder than the previous sessions. Although the drivers are still chasing wins and honors, after all, this event can no longer change the overall situation, and the ranking is basically fixed.

But on the track, there is still a blue Prost car, which is racing at crazy speed, and even many dangerous lines are practiced without hesitation, and it is not at all obvious that this is a closing battle, more like an opening battle!

"It is worthy of flying, and you can always see the passion and enthusiasm of a professional driver in him."

In the commentary room, the veteran commentator Blundell used an emotional tone to tell the situation on the track, and especially praised Zhang Yifei's all-out efforts.

In recent years, with the rise of Scuderia Ferrari and Schumacher, the most lively and suspenseful finale of the eighties and nineties has begun to become boring. In many cases, the world championship is locked in a few races early, which is very demoralizing to other drivers.

However, this year's track situation is different, there is still a young driver, chasing the freedom of the wind, the limit of speed!

"This is the one who is the enemy of the world!"

This time, Blundell's partner is the Japanese commentator Yuo Ito, unlike the previous European and American commentators, who don't know Zhang Yifei very well, or disdain to understand the experience of a Chinese driver, Ito Yusheng almost locked his eyes on Zhang Yifei after he made a name for himself in Formula Renault.

When Zhang Yifei reached the top of the Austrian Grand Prix, he became a die-hard fan.

And looking at Zhang Yifei's experience at the Indianapolis Circuit, he understands better what it means to be the enemy of the world!

Therefore, Ito Yusheng admires Zhang Yifei, and he always believes that Zhang Yifei has the purest driver spirit. This scene in today's practice match strengthened Ito's original belief that Zhang Yifei on the track will always be full of passion and fighting spirit!

The current lap record at Suzuka is 1:32.730, set by Schumacher last year. But Zhang Yifei ran the fastest lap of 1:33.690 in the practice race as soon as he practiced, less than a second away from Schumacher's track record!

You know, a practice session is more of a time to tune the car, and most drivers don't go for the fastest lap in a practice. And Zhang Yifei's lap time is obviously beyond the normal scope of a practice, what does he want to do?

Use achievements to show off yourself, or use speed to wake up this "lifeless" finale?

"Zhang Yifei is still high-spirited, I thought he would deal with the final battle conservatively?"

"Conservative? In Zhang Yifei's dictionary, there are no such two words! ”

"This is the driver flying, always so scrappy!"

"See, this is the spirit of our Chinese drivers!"

The Chinese audience on the track frantically cheered for Zhang Yifei's performance, they didn't care whether this was the result of the practice race or not, they only knew that in this race, Zhang Yifei was the most eye-catching driver on the track!

"Shw! Your Excellency is like a demon king, and the flames of battle are forever burning on your body! ”

"If you run this lap time as soon as you practice, will the Suzuka Circuit in Japan become a track ruled by Ichitoki?"

"The starting order of the race has been fixed, but His Excellency Zhang Yifei on the track is so hardworking, he is worthy of being a man who claims to be the strongest driver!"

"Ganba Daddy (come on), the car god from the Chinese Empire!"

Compared with Chinese fans, they are still relatively shy, and Japanese audiences simply regard Zhang Yifei as a man like a car god.

In the more than 10 years of Suzuka Speedway's involvement in the F1 Grand Prix, there has never been an Asian driver who has been able to run the fastest lap, not even in a practice session. And today Zhang Yifei is not only the fastest lap, but also shows the strongest fighting spirit and dominance, which was even more unimaginable before!

There has never been a yellow man whose momentum and brilliance can dim the European and American drivers on the track!

"Chinese kid fights so hard?"

At the Scuderia Ferrari pit, Schumacher, who finished the practice session, looked at the final lap time standings and was surprised by Zhang Yifei's results.

You must know that in the past Zhang Yifei's practice matches, he was as slow as a snail, grinding and rubbing against the bottom, and he rarely ran any dazzling lap times in one practice, let alone the fastest lap.

Schumacher was confident that he would take the top lap time, because he had dominated the track for three years, and he was already so comfortable with all kinds of track statistics and tuning that it would be difficult for other drivers to catch up with him, even if it was just a casual run.

Especially now that the world championship is doomed, many drivers have lost their original fighting spirit, but Zhang Yifei is unusual, and actually ran the fastest lap.

You must know that Zhang Yifei is a Japanese Grand Prix, but he has to start from the pit stop, and there is a penalty of ten seconds of stoppage, which is almost destined to have no competitiveness.

"Schumacher, it seems, is a Chinese kid with the ambition of winning three consecutive titles."

Jean Todd was also surprised by Zhang Yifei's hard work, and the only reason he could think of was that Zhang Yifei wanted to create a historical record that was almost impossible to break in F1, that is, three consecutive championships in the rookie season.

"He doesn't have a chance, and the only way to win the Suzuka Circuit is me."

Schumacher responded indifferently, never underestimate his fighting spirit and desire to win, even if he has locked the world championship, he will still not let any of the championships win!

Jean Todd was satisfied with Schumacher's spirit, which is what a driver should always maintain, otherwise it will be like sailing against the current.

"Indy 500 event, didn't you help the Chinese kid?"

Jean Todd said in a joking tone, the scene on the track at the beginning surprised many people, Schumacher really took on the role of "teammate" and chose to become a wingman.

"In F1, we can only be enemies forever."
