As if in order to confirm Red's words, Suarez tried desperately to chase after him, hoping to complete the overtake of Zhang Yifei in the final stage.

But at this moment, there was only the last lap of the main competition. Zhang Yifei completely ignored Suarez who was chasing behind him and focused on Masa, the first place.

However, just as the other drivers were fighting fiercely, Masa had silently led by nearly three seconds.

This time gap is placed on the Monza Expressway. Based on an average of 180km/h, Zhang Yifei, the second-placed one, was thrown out more than 100 meters. If he encounters any curve, it is really like being thrown away and not even able to see the taillights of the car!

At this moment, Zhang Yifei remembered an online novel joke. He was really an ant under the saint, but he never expected that he would become that ant!

Only the last lap is left, and this gap can no longer be compensated. No matter how Zhang Yifei catches up, too much time has been wasted due to various overtakings and fighting.

This is why everyone in the qualifying competition is crazy about pole position, because the advantage of starting the first car is too great. As long as you don’t make any huge mistakes, the drivers behind will slow down their time because of competing for detours.

Of course, Masa was able to keep the lead this time mainly because Zhang Yifei made trouble in the first turn and forced himself to overtake Kubica.

After overtaking, the speed did not increase. Instead, the speed was slower because it almost lost control and rushed out of the track.

If Zhang Yifei had to choose again, he would not have shown his strength. Instead, he would have waited for a more suitable opportunity to overtake and not fight against clams and cranes, so that Masa, the fisherman, would benefit.

The black and white grid flag at the end of the competition appeared on the track, and Masa, the number one, began to slow down after passing the flag and drove the car to the celebration area.

As the second place, Zhang Yifei also slowed down after passing the black and white grid flag. This time he did not have to go to the maintenance passage and watch others celebrate the victory. Instead, he could follow Masa and park the car in the celebration area, and finally climb the podium together.

Suarez, who was third, also followed Zhang Yifei and went to the celebration area together. All the drivers after the first three took the racing car to the maintenance channel, waiting for post-race maintenance and inspection by the event team.

"Yifeijun, congratulations on winning the runner-up in the branch. They ran very well!"

Yamamoto Ukyo's congratulations came from the headset, and he could be heard from his voice that he was very excited now.

The runner-up of the Formula Elementary Division is actually not a great achievement. It is even included in European drivers, but it is just an entry-level level.

But for Asian drivers, they can win the runner-up in the branch after participating for the first time, and they are definitely the top group.

You should know the previous psychological bottom line of Toyota. As long as Zhang Yifei can enter the main competition, he will meet the requirements. As long as there is one stop to stand on the podium, it will exceed the standards!

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yifei won the fourth place in the first stop and the runner-up of the main competition, which was completely beyond expectations.

Whether from the standpoint of Toyota or Zhang Yifei's identity as a competition engineer, Yamamoto Ukyoto has no reason not to be excited!

"Thanks."

Although Zhang Yifei was in a good mood to be able to win the runner-up in the branch, he was far from reaching the level of excitement, which was more of a regret.

"By the way, Ukyo, has the final result of the event command center come out? How much is the difference between me and Masa?"

"It's out, Masa finished the race at 31 minutes, 17 seconds, 280, you're 2.574 seconds behind him."

"Is the fastest lap? Is it also Masa?"

Zhang Yifei asked again, if Masa got the fastest lap, he would have staged a "hat trick" in the racing car, that is, he won the pole position at the same time in one race, the championship and the fastest lap are equivalent to three yuan alone!

"No, the fastest lap is Suarez, who won the fastest lap title with a slight advantage of 0.145 seconds."

"Hey, I don't have any records."

Zhang Yifei sighed, but he didn't expect that the fastest lap was Suarez's, and he thought he had the chance to win the fastest lap consolation prize.

Originally, Zhang Yifei said it casually, but unexpectedly, Yamamoto Ukyo checked the game data very straightforwardly, and he really found a record of Zhang Yifei.

"Yifeijun, congratulations, you have the fastest departure this time, surpassing Masa!"

Listening to Yamamoto Ukyo's words of "congratulations", Zhang Yifei was really speechless. He thought he was straight enough. This guy was simply a straight man, and his thinking really wouldn't turn!

In the post-race celebration area, there were already a large number of reporters waiting to interview the top three drivers, and various cheering sounds were also made in the audience. Zhang Yifei could vaguely hear that he was shouting Masa's name.

But this is normal. Masa won the pole position and won the sub-station championship. He only had a slight gap and did not get the fastest lap record. Otherwise, the first round of the competition would have directly scored a hat trick, which was even more exaggerated than in history.

With his own bonus to the Italian Renault Formula Championship, Monza Track can be considered half of his home court in some sense, and it is not surprising that so many spectators can call his name.

The car was parked and the top three drivers came down to celebrate. At this time, the reporters surrounded him, and almost all of them were aimed at Masa, asking him about his thoughts after winning the championship.

Originally, Zhang Yifei was thinking about what shape helmet should be put on so that he could be more photogenic. After all, he would show the handsome image of our Chinese drivers.

As a result, I thought too much and didn’t aim the camera at all. After all, this is not F1, there are only a few dozen drivers. No matter how good or bad the grades are, everyone can name them, and they also have a certain popularity and influence.

Not to mention the number of Formula Elementary Drivers, but there are quite a lot of people. There are nearly 300 drivers in the Renault Series alone. Unless you have won the total series, a runner-up in a sub-station is really not very valuable.

"Mr. Masa, what do you think now when you won the sub-station championship?"

"Phillip, who won the pole position and sub-station championship at the same time, is the fastest lap to complete the hat trick. Do you feel sorry?"

"Masa, this event is far ahead. How do you evaluate the strength of your opponents on the field, such as the Chinese driver next to you, Fei."

The first two questions are fine, but the content of the third question is obviously a bit troublesome.

Zhang Yifei looked over and found that the reporter asked the question looked familiar. After a closer look, wasn’t this the first Sky Sports reporter Donnie who interviewed him?

It was this grandson who edited his interview video out of context, which made him mocked him all kinds of ridiculed before the game. It was really a narrow road for enemies, and this grandson started asking questions to him again!

Masa was not a person with a arrogant personality. Later, he was considered well-known in the f1 yard.

So in the face of this kind of question, he just smiled and replied: "I think Fei is good at strength."

"Is it just good? What about comparison with you?"

This question immediately attracted attention, and all the reporters pointed the microphone at Masa to hear how he could answer it.

Masa showed a hesitant expression on his face. Obviously, this problem was difficult for him, but at this time, Masa was just an eighteen-year-old boy after all, and he did not have the later years of cultivation and still had the edge of the boy.

"Flying is good, but I think I am a little stronger, and the championship is the best proof!"

To be honest, Zhang Yifei has always attached great importance to Masa's strength and thinks he is very strong.

In a sense, Zhang Yifei felt that Masa was stronger than himself, rather than blindly confident.

You should know that before the game, Zhang Yifei asked for the lower limit for himself, just to enter the main competition, and the upper limit was to get on the podium. As for what he was sure of, he was completely forced to say it with a bit of an hour.

After all, if you lose, you will not lose. As the pioneer of Formula Chinese drivers, your grades can be worse, but your blood and courage cannot be lost.

Many times, a national sports pioneer may affect the overall direction. Zhang Yifei does not want future Chinese drivers to look like "chondrosis" when facing European strong men.

Yes, the other party is stronger, but so what? The charm of competitive sports is to challenge the limits of the strong and oneself? If you admit defeat, don’t race. This is the game of the brave.

Zhang Yifei's expressionless look was naturally seen by Donnie. Since he had already fanned the flames, how could he not light the fire?

He immediately pointed the microphone at Zhang Yifei and asked, "Fei, you only won the runner-up at Monza Station this time, and were nearly three seconds behind Masa. Do you agree that Masa is stronger, or that there is a challenge in the next stop?"

Anyway, he has already established an arrogant image in front of European media, and Zhang Yifei is too lazy to pretend to be humble or explain anything.

Actually, this is good, at least not to mention hypocritical words, just say anything.

"Before the race, I said I would stand on the podium, and now I have done it. Similarly, I don't think any driver is better than me. The next stop is not a challenge, but to prove my strength!"

When Zhang Yifei said this, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar. Many of the shots that had been aimed at Masa were placed on Zhang Yifei.

It is rare to see such an arrogant driver appearing in Formula field, and he is also a Chinese newcomer.

Zhang Yifei's answer was also broadcast live to the big screen of the track. Most of the audiences on the scene today were Masa's supporters. They naturally could not accept Zhang Yifei's remarks. If you win, you are a little arrogant, but you dare to speak harshly if you lose the runner-up. What about your face?

"Shit! Do you really think you are the most powerful when you win the runner-up?"

"The Chinese guy is too arrogant. Masa makes him understand your awesomeness!"

"He will be eliminated in the next qualifying match. I don't want to see the Chinese on the podium again!"

Now Zhang Yifei aroused public anger, and the audience on the sidelines began to yell. In order to avoid the audience being too excited and some safety accidents occurred, the organizer of the event ended the interview and directly started the award ceremony.

When we arrived at the podium on the second floor, there were dark spectators and members of the driver team standing below.

In the crowd, Zhang Yifei saw Junko Takeda and the others, and was waving to him excitedly.

They are much more excited than Zhang Yifei. After all, Zhang Yifei has always placed his goal on the highest podium in F1, and Junko Takeda and others think that being able to win the top three titles of Renault is already considered a very good result.

Different goals bring different satisfactions.

The awards for the Elementary Formula is not as grand as F1. Due to age, there is no scene of champagne celebration. It only gave the top three drivers a trophy with the Renault logo.

The first person to the podium was Suarez. He was also not excited. Maybe his goal to his pre-match was also a champion.

In fact, Suarez is acceptable if he didn't win the championship, but now the runner-up position has been taken by Chinese novices, and he surpassed himself on the track, which makes Suarez feel difficult to accept, so he naturally can't be happy.

The second stop was Zhang Yifei. As soon as he got up, he had a "warm response" as soon as he got up, but it was not just a sound of cheering and celebration, but mixed with various booing and whistlings.

This kind of scene is relatively rare in Formula racing. After all, before Zhang Yifei, only Japanese drivers participated in Formula European.

The Japanese personality is that when facing strong people and white people, they are insecure. In this regard, it was not until Sato thought that this young man was a little tough when he came to the F1 arena. After all, he can't run away from you, and I can't hit you?

A coward means there is no threat. European car fans can easily accept you, and even express their welcome in a generous manner, adding fuel to you or something.

This is also the general psychology of most people. Whether it is racing or other competitive sports, it can be applied even in business, academic, etc.

"Damn, what do these ghost guys mean? Can't you afford to lose?"

Ah Hu was young and energetic. When he heard the booing around him, he felt angry. Isn’t this targeting Brother Fei?

"Hmph, I just can't afford to lose. I'll wait for the next stop and win the championship, and see what else they can say."

Chen Zhi agreed and felt anger in his heart, but unlike Ah Hu's simple anger, he had a humiliation that was despised.

Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto's faces were not good-looking. In fact, during the post-match interview, they knew that Zhang Yifei's remarks would arouse the disgust of these European car fans.

When I first encountered an interview editing, Yamamoto Ukyo reminded Zhang Yifei, but was convinced by the other party.

So this time, even though the consequences were expected, Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto never stopped Zhang Yifei's remarks.

Because compared to being suppressed cowardly, I would rather not accept the arrogant!

Faced with such an awkward scene off the court, Zhang Yifei had a faint smile on his face at this moment, and he was even happier than being the runner-up of the branch, and was not affected by these booings and whistles at all.

From the moment Zhang Yifei said it, he knew what situation he would face. But it doesn’t matter. It’s arrogance to brag about things that cannot be done, and things that can be achieved are called self-confidence.

Since he has reached the runner-up position, it is inevitable to challenge the championship. Even without the so-called post-match interview, Zhang Yifei has already listed Masa as his number one opponent in the next stop.

For the future top-notch F1 drivers, it's time to fight ahead.

The last one to appear was champion Masa, who also stood at the highest podium in the center. Like the award ceremony of other sports events, the national anthem of the driver's nationality will be played at this time.

Massa is from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and naturally plays the Brazilian national anthem. Zhang Yifei stood on the left side of Massa, listening to the Brazilian national anthem accompaniment in his ears, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart.
Chapter completed!
