At the end of the award ceremony, Zhang Yifei followed the team members to the pit stop, probably because of the ridicule of the audience, everyone was holding their breath in their hearts, and even the desire to celebrate weakened a lot.

"Hey, no, why do you feel more angry than me, isn't it just a little boo, a small scene!"

Zhang Yifei finally couldn't help but break it, to be honest, he didn't feel anything about these boos and whistles at all.

In 99, a Chinese came to Europe to fight, unless he recognized his grandson and admitted that he was inferior to European drivers, he was destined to face a lot of cold eyes and ridicule, which had long been in Zhang Yifei's psychological preparation.

"Ichifei-kun is right, this kind of scene is normal, some Japanese drivers came to Europe to compete, and they also received a lot of criticism and criticism, such as Katayama Ukyo's seniors, so don't be too angry."

Junko Takeda comforted that in the eighties and nineties, there were also many Japanese drivers competing in F1, such as Ukyo Katayama, Akuri Suzuki, and Takaho Inoue.

Of course, this also has something to do with their actual dishes.

Compared with the habits of the Japanese, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi are the most unhappy, they have never experienced this kind of scene, as soon as they fly, they just said that they wanted to win the championship, but they were stunned by the audience, and they were unreasonable?

Seeing the angry appearance of the two of them, Zhang Yifei smiled and put his hand on their shoulders and said: "In the professional arena, it is useless to be angry, only victory will win respect." ”

"At the next stop, I'll shut up all the doubters."

When Zhang Yifei said the back, there was a murderous aura in his tone, although he was not very angry about ridicule, but it did not mean that he liked to be ridiculed.

Especially the contempt for Chinese drivers in his bones is what Zhang Yifei can't tolerate the most. If you want to break this prejudice, you must rely on the strength of crushing to prove yourself.

He Ziling stood behind Zhang Yifei, looked at his back, and listened to Zhang Yifei's cold and domineering words in the end, and had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

She has never seen Zhang Yifei's side, one of the few contacts in the school, this guy is almost always hippie and smiling.

At most, when he clashed with Li Tao, he was not as weak as before, and he was still fighting very strongly.

It's just that at that time, there was still a kind of childishness of a little boy, but now Zhang Yifei feels completely different to her, more like a mature man, with his own goals, and no longer as impulsive as a little boy.

Half a year, will a person have such a big change?

He Ziling didn't know the answer, but what she did know was that she admired Zhang Yifei like this, after all, the hard-working man is the most handsome.

Arriving at the pits, the car had just passed the post-race inspection on the Renault side and was placed in the center of the P room.

Unlike regular sporting events, which detect athletes, Formula Sport detects racing cars.

After all, doping is such a thing, which is of little help to the driver, you must know that the average heartbeat of the race is as high as 180 times, and if you take doping, isn't your heart going to jump out?

Therefore, the "urine test" of formula racing is to check the oil of the car to ensure that there are no illegal additives that make the horsepower of the car abnormal. Also check the aerodynamic kit to see if there are any hands and feet.

The members of Toyota's technical team celebrated him when they saw Zhang Yifei coming in.

After all, an Asian driver can stand on the podium for the first time in the Renault European Cup, which is definitely a breakthrough.

As soon as they came to the maintenance station, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi let go of the unhappiness in their hearts and began to devote themselves to the post-race maintenance work with Toyota technicians.

You must know that after a fierce race, the wear and tear of the car is very large, whether it is tires, suspension, or parts such as the engine, it needs to undergo a major overhaul.

Compared with the general civilian car that focuses on durability, formula racing is more like burning "vitality" to gain speed and explosion, without thorough post-race maintenance, the next stop is likely to put Zhang Yifei on the track.

Zhang Yifei did not stay in the pit, but returned to the hotel with Junko Takeda and He Ziling, and the post-race inspection is the work of professional technicians, and the drivers only need to drive.

After returning to the hotel and taking a shower and changing into loose clothes, Zhang Yifei felt relieved from the tense atmosphere of the event.

At this time, Zhang Yifei's mobile phone rang, it was a call from He Lang.

pressed the connect button, and He Lang's excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Yifei, congratulations on winning the runner-up of the sub-station, it's really beautiful!" ”

"You're well-informed enough to know so quickly."

"I also know a lot of friends in the European racing circle, so it's not difficult to inquire about the results."

He Lang does know a lot of friends in the European circle, but his biggest influence does not rely on the racing circle.

Because seriously speaking, He Lang's rally level, currently placed in the world, can only be regarded as a second-rate lower level, and this strength is impossible for him to have much say in the European racing circle.

His real strength is that he was born in the United Kingdom, Eton College, which is known as the "cradle of the elite" and has cultivated countless celebrities in the British business and political circles.

Many far-sighted aristocratic or wealthy families will try to send their children in, because any of these classmates may be a network and help in their future careers.

Networking represents money and efficiency, and it is extremely important for those at the top.

Of course, He Lang is not a person who likes to show off, and he didn't tell Zhang Yifei about these things.

"But Yifei, your style evaluation of this event doesn't seem to be very good, and a friend who promotes Renault's event also told me that when Kubica was interviewed after the race, he accused you of maliciously overtaking during the race, which almost caused a series of major accidents."

"And there are a lot of European drivers who are willing to testify, which may have some negative impact on your future formula progression."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei frowned, formula racing is actually a small circle, especially at the F1 level, there are only about ten teams all year round, which belongs to the kind that looks up and doesn't look down.

Zhang Yifei doesn't care what the outside world says about him, whether he is arrogant or arrogant, it doesn't matter.

The audience and the media are the easiest people to change, as long as you can conquer them with your strength, from black to pink abound. is different from the entertainment industry to create characters, the competitive sports circle only cares about results!

But there is a bit of trouble in the driver's circle, and they can hold a lot of grudges, taking this opponent Massa as an example, the original idol was Senna, who is also Brazilian.

But because of the karting stage, he failed to find Senna to sign an autograph, so he turned from a fan, and later publicly declared that Schumacher was his teacher and the best driver in history, which caused dissatisfaction and attacks from many Senna fans.

After all, these two generations of car gods are not easy to compare just like Guan Gong and Qin Qiong, no matter who is stronger, the other party can find a reason to refute it.

As a professional driver, speaking out is a natural criticism.

Once the driver's circle, the team boss and the big guys behind him have a bad impression of themselves, then their future career will be affected.

Under the same conditions, the bigwigs are naturally more willing to choose drivers with good image and popularity, after all, a large part of the team's income depends on sponsorships and advertisers. In addition to strength, image and popularity are also potential advantages in a sense.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei hadn't thought about this before, after all, he hadn't been exposed to the top level of racing in his two lifetimes.

Hearing that Zhang Yifei didn't speak on the other end of the phone, He Lang thought that his words scared Zhang Yifei.

So he quickly explained: "Yifei, in fact, a little negative impact in the rookie stage is not a big problem, as long as you can maintain your achievements in the future, and pay attention to your remarks and image public relations, these are irretrievable." ”

"After all, those big F1 team owners, when they consider signing a driver, they will not be so superficial and determined by their own personal preferences."

"And then again, there are other potential advantages for Chinese drivers as well, and that's the booming Chinese car market. It's a big cake, both the teams and the FIA, they're already targeting this market and need a spokesperson. ”

After all, He Lang is an elite from Eton College, and he has a more long-term vision and sees the greater commercial value behind it, that is, the entire Chinese market.

Now China's auto industry is in a stage of vigorous development, various joint ventures have been established, and racing teams have been formed, and the huge population also represents a very objective viewing flow.

The FIA (International Automobile Federation) has long been eyeing this market, and when the Tokai International Circuit is completed, the F1 Tokai Grand Prix will be launched immediately.

The same is true for team owners, the population represents the consumer market, and sponsors want a Chinese driver to help them open up the market.

Hearing He Lang's quick explanation, Zhang Yifei naturally understood what he was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Don't worry, my psychological quality is not so bad, this kind of thing can't affect me." ”

"Kubica can say whatever he wants, but his mouth grows on him, and I can't control it. If I meet him again at the next stop, then I'm sorry, I'll overtake him next time! ”

Zhang Yifei replied domineeringly, what is malicious or not malicious about overtaking, why can't you overtake if you drive fast with your ability?

And there were no collisions in the process, which is a dangerous move. As for the joint testimony of other drivers, Zhang Yifei can probably understand that the sand and gravel he splashed caused the riders behind him to be very uncomfortable.

But I didn't mean it, in that case, it would be good to be able to control the car, and how to control the sand and gravel?

The reason why they did this, in Zhang Yifei's eyes, was more like a move to suppress newcomers. Maybe they don't have this idea themselves, they are just dissatisfied with Zhang Yifei's flying sand and gravel, or they still disdain to report to the group to suppress it, but the result is similar.

If Zhang Yifei is really a pure newcomer, in the face of this kind of "public anger and hard to commit" scene, it is very likely that he will have too much psychological pressure and play abnormally.

But it's a pity that Zhang Yifei can be described as an old fritter, and he can accompany him to play whatever he wants!
