240 Champion's Heart

At 3:40 p.m. on the weekend, all the cars pulled out of the pits and pulled up to the grid on the track.

Zhang Yifei bore the brunt of the attack at this time, stopping at the pole position at the very front, and next to him was Dixon, who was full of dissatisfaction.

Coming out of the pit stop, Dixon locked his eyes on Zhang Yifei. At the same time, he also changed to aggressive ultra-soft tires, just to defeat Zhang Yifei with a more extreme speed, prove his strength, and also prove that Williams' vision is wrong!

In addition to Dixon, other drivers have more or less this idea, and they can't accept a Chinese driver to become the absolute protagonist of Renault's European Cup.

And Zhang Yifei really wants to become an F1 driver in one step, and his various arrogant remarks before that will become a real hammer, and other drivers in this session will be burdened with the black spot of cowardice in the future.

Even in this game, many people's mentality is that it doesn't matter if they win or not, but Zhang Yifei must lose!

With this gunpowder atmosphere, coupled with the premise of Prost and Williams' speeches, today's pre-match interview made many viewers look forward to it.

Ina, the official reporter of the Renault series, naturally wanted to interview Zhang Yifei for the first time and get his opinion on the F1 driver's contract.

As a result, she didn't expect that someone was much faster than her, so she squeezed directly in front of Zhang Yifei, handed over the radio and said: "Fei, long time no see, as the absolute protagonist of today's Manikul circuit, what do you want to say?" ”

This person Zhang Yifei has indeed not seen it for a long time, he is Sky Sports reporter Donnie, until Zhang Yifei's public opinion turned around, this guy disappeared as if he had disappeared, and he never appeared on the track again.

I don't know if it was accidental or deliberate today, but I appeared in front of Zhang Yifei again, thinking of the previous reports taken out of context by this grandson, Zhang Yifei felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But it's not happy, it's not happy, it's a pre-game interview, and the audience has the attention of tens of thousands of people, and Zhang Yifei can't say anything.

He could only reply in a very indifferent tone: "There is nothing to say. ”

Regarding Zhang Yifei's indifferent attitude, Donnie continued to ask without any disapproval: "Then do you think you can reach an agreement with Prost to win this race and break the track record?" ”

"There's no doubt about it."

"Sure enough, it's still the confident driver who flies."

Donnie praised with a smile, and those who didn't know thought that he had a good relationship with Zhang Yifei, and this interview was to promote him.

However, Downey soon revealed his nature of hyping up hot spots, and immediately changed the subject and asked: "Since you have decided that you will be in the F1 team, then we will assume according to this premise." ”

"So far, only Kimi Raikkonen last year has made it from Formula Junior to F1 teams, so who do you think is stronger compared to Kimi, the miracle Finnish driver?"

As soon as this question came out, Zhang Yifei could simply be described as a face full of black lines, this grandson's ability to do things is really breaking through the sky!

Originally, Zhang Yifei thought that the limit of his question was at most to fan the flames and provoke hostility between himself and other drivers on the track.

Zhang Yifei doesn't care about this now, the qualifying race can be regarded as the public enemy of the track, and the relationship is so bad that it can't be worse. At the same time, Zhang Yifei is also ready to challenge all the drivers, it doesn't matter how Downey fanned the flames, there is no need to be polite to the "enemy".

But now it's different, this grandson compares himself with Kimi, who created miracles, and the point is that he has not yet completed the agreement to enter F1, and this answer really makes Zhang Yifei a little dilemma.

Say that you are stronger than Kimi, it is estimated that you will be drowned by saliva, you must know that Kimi, this kid, in addition to his good driving skills, can also be regarded as the top batch of F1 drivers in a sense, and there are many fans.

said that he was not as good as Kimi, Zhang Yifei was not reconciled. Kimi is very strong and even won the Drivers' Championship in the future. But Zhang Yifei's goal has always been to defeat Schumacher, and Kimi is the opponent he is destined to surpass.

Whether to choose cowardice, or choose to take apart the cowardice and answer "from the heart" is the question in front of Zhang Yifei.

Seeing Zhang Yifei's rare hesitation, Donnie's face showed a smile that had succeeded in his trick.

"Fei, haven't you always been very confident, do you think you are inferior to Kimi?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei understood that Donnie's grandson began to arch the fire again.

But Zhang Yifei also understands that he can't be cowardly on this step, and he is not afraid of any driver!

"It's pointless now, if I play in F1 with Kimi, I think I'm stronger!"

If you want to become a champion, you must have the courage to defeat any opponent, let alone Kimi, even if Zhang Yifei is asked to face Senna and Schumacher, he will answer like this.

Confidence in oneself is a necessary psychological cue for a champion driver.

Hearing Zhang Yifei's answer, the corners of Cosell's mouth, which had not spoken all this time, rose slightly.

That's the answer he wants, Kossel can accept himself as a rookie race engineer, but he definitely can't accept himself as an engineer with a mediocre driver, even if the driver is in the F1 class.

After all, Korsell is someone who has worked with Senna, and his standards for his drivers are based on Senna.

Maybe Zhang Yifei is a lot worse now, but there is one thing that Zhang Yifei is not inferior to Senna, that is, a champion's heart!

This is where Korsell really likes Zhang Yifei.

It's just that Korcel can appreciate Zhang Yifei's answer, and the vast majority of the audience in the audience can't accept Zhang Yifei's arrogance.

Previously, his arrogance was limited to drivers of the same level, and it was true that Zhang Yifei performed very strongly on the track, and he proved his arrogance with his strength, and there was nothing to say.

But now it's different, many fans are blown away by last summer's miracle and are equally happy with Kimmy's performance this year. The Chinese driver Fei is really too carried away, and he also deserves to be compared to Kimi Raikkonin?

"Shut up, do you really think you're an F1 driver?"

"Kimi can throw you off a lap, he's a real genius!"

"At most, you're just copying Kimi's miracles, and you'll always be the second."

"Fly, let's keep a low profile, the F1 paddock is far from being comparable to the junior formula now."

All kinds of boos and scolding sounds, Zhang Yifei did not put down the mask at this time, and the starting position was relatively close to the audience, so he could vaguely hear these words.

It's just that Zhang Yifei just smiled faintly on his face, and didn't take these to heart, when he said that he wanted to win the championship, how similar was it to today's scene?

In order to avoid the audience getting too emotional, the event director cut the scene to Ina's interview. She was turning the microphone at Dixon to get an interview with him about the event.

"Hello, Dixon, you got the second pick in qualifying, which is a very good result, are you confident that you can beat Fei and win the championship in the main race?"

"The winner of this race can only be me."

Dixon replied in a cold tone, he wanted to redeem his pride.

"I feel your desire for a title, even a kind of anger, can you tell why?"

"The reason? I'm going to use this title to prove that Sir Williams is wrong! ”

Dixon is a member of the Williams Driver Development Program, and the audience basically knows that when he said this, there is no doubt that he is directly slapping his boss.

It was too unexpected for a junior Formula driver, directly on the track in front of tens of thousands of spectators, against his boss's vision and plans, and the founder of the F1 Williams team.

This also made the atmosphere in the audience explode again, but I didn't expect that today is not only Zhang Yifei's one-man show, but also the explosion and presumptuousness of Dixon's driver!

"Well done Dixon, prove yourself on the track, let the Chinese know how good the European drivers are!"

"That's right, Williams and Prost are old and confused, let's prove their vision wrong."

"I'm your fan from today onwards, Dixon, you've shown the blood of a European driver!"

After Massa and Kubika lost their spirits, no driver dared to go head-to-head with Zhang Yifei, and today Dixon stood up, finally making many people who were unhappy with Zhang Yifei have new supporters!

At the same time, Sir Williams in the VIP viewing room frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect Dixon to dare to question himself in public, is this a provocation to the authority of the team's boss?

And Ghosn on the side was in a good mood, and finally someone could experience the feeling of being rejected by Zhang Yifei at the beginning!

"Sir Williams, young people nowadays are really loud-mouthed."

"It's good to be bigger, and I'd like Dixon to prove me wrong."

Just like Ghosn defended Zhang Yifei before, Dixon is also a member of Williams' driver development plan, and as the team boss, Williams must remain united in front of outsiders.

The two small interviews on the track have brought out the atmosphere of the scene, and everyone can't wait to witness this crazy event!

The whistle reminding the unrelated personnel of their position began to sound, and the reporters and the technician team began to evacuate, leaving only Corell standing next to Zhang Yifei's car.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Cosell, who had not spoken, finally spoke: "Pay attention to the position of the vehicle during the warm-up circle, and don't put too much wear pressure on the tires." ”

Generally, when warming up the tires, the driver will frantically snakeskin left and right, through various sharp acceleration and point brakes, so that the temperature of the racing tires and brake pads will rise as soon as possible.

But this time is different, the super soft tires are likely to not last more than 23 laps, and the warm-up laps will have to start to pay attention to the wear and tear on the tires.

"I know."

Zhang Yifei nodded, and tried to run the tens of thousands of scrapped wheels with a puncture, but it made him feel pain for a long time, and it was impossible to forget it.

"Don't immediately change lines to the right to press the car, I feel that the kid named Dixon next to me is a little up."

Once again, Korssell reminded him that this tournament was crucial and he didn't want any surprises.

"Don't worry, Kossel, how did you become a mother-in-law now?"

Zhang Yifei laughed and teased, the old man in Germany used to always love to "spray" his own girls, and today he finally chirped crookedly.

Hearing this, Korsell snorted coldly, and just as the second whistle blew, he walked off the track without looking back.
