252 CCTV interview

For Zhang Yifei, who has signed the F1 driver contract, a primary equation like Renault has become optional.

But if Zhang Yifei doesn't run the Renault Formula, he will enter a vacuum period. Because the F1 season is not over, all teams have not yet entered the winter interval training period.

Although Prost team's performance is poor and has been recorded in zero points so far, this does not mean that they have given up. The team's resources focus is still on the F1 event.

So at this time, Zhang Yifei withdrew from the Renault Formula and could not get the resources of the Prost team. It would be better to practice on the track by fighting instead of practicing.

In addition to these objective reasons, there is another very important subjective factor, that is, Zhang Yifei currently ranks first in points and is far ahead.

After three European Cup events in Renault, Zhang Yifei scored two championships and one AFC with a score of up to 26 points. If Zhang Yifei scored another sub-station championship at the next stop of the British Silverstone Circuit, his total points will reach 36 points.

36 points were almost the championship points in the Renault Formula in previous years. Moreover, Zhang Yifei's biggest competitor, Masa, has only 13 points in total even if he just finished fifth in Manicur.

As for other drivers such as Kubica, they didn't even score 10 points, which could be said to be completely in danger to Zhang Yifei.

However, according to what Zhang Yifei learned after the game, Masa, who has the most threatening points, has caused the injury to worsen due to continuous high-intensity competitions due to shoulder injury, and may have to withdraw from the competition for treatment at least one stop.

If this is the case, as long as Zhang Yifei can win the championship at the British Silverstone Station, unless there is a driver who can create a sweeping record of three consecutive championships like Zhang Yifei, Zhang Yifei can almost lock in the European Cup title in advance.

The championship of Formula Elementary is worthless for many F1 drivers, almost everyone has one or two. But for Zhang Yifei, this is his first international event, and he is still eager to win this championship in his heart.

Another point is that even if you become an F1 driver, Zhang Yifei still lacks an F1 super driver's license. Without this super driver's license, in theory, you are not allowed to participate in the F1 event.

The super driver's license in this era is not the point system like the later generations, but depends on whether you have won the championship titles of f3 and f3000 levels within three years.

If you don't get it, you can only get Fia's special approval like Kimi Raikkonen, and then you can compete on the track.

Then the problem arises. After all, Kimi Raikkonen also has a Renault championship. Zhang Yifei's resume is completely blank and he has no capital to be approved for special approval.

Moreover, because of his fight with Senna, Prost directly hacked one of Senna's drivers' titles through his relationship with the then French president of Fia.

It is precisely because of such a dark history that everything will be reversed. Now, no matter what agreement Prost reaches with Fia, people have come out and think that there is a secret operation behind this.

If Zhang Yifei scored a whiteboard, and coupled with the influence of Prost's dark history back then, it might be more difficult for Kimi Raikkonen to obtain a super driver's license.

Maybe a very strange scene will appear on the track. A formal driver of the F1 team who has signed a contract cannot compete because he does not have a super driver's license. This is like Zhang Yifei has won the Formula Championship now, but because he is less than age, he is legally on the road without a driver's license.

"I plan to finish the Silverstone Station in the UK, so that I can win the driver's championship in advance, which will be helpful for the special approval of the super driver's license."

Hearing Zhang Yifei say this, Prost also remembered that Zhang Yifei had a problem with a super driver's license. Last year, Kimi Raikkonen only got the super driver's license before the start of the game, and it caused a lot of criticism.

If Zhang Yifei had no title, he would encounter greater resistance. He would win a Formula Renault title, so he would have the same results as Kimi Raikkonen and have the capital to be specially approved.

After all, we can criticize Kimi Raikkonen, why can't we criticize me Zhang Yifei?

"Okay, you can make your own decisions."

Prost didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the hotel conference room with his assistant.

Looking at Prost's departure back, Cosel said in a mocking tone: "A few years have passed, and this guy is still as careful as ever, and he doesn't even let go of the 2 million US dollars sponsorship."

"Maybe the $2 million is more important to the Prost team."

Zhang Yifei helped explain, because he knew the time when the Prost team went bankrupt in history, otherwise it would be impossible to make amazing changes like now according to Prost's stubborn personality.

After getting through the driver's contract, Zhang Yifei's mood did not change much. He has begun to prepare for the next stop in the British Silverstone Circuit.

After all, signing a contract has long been a foregone conclusion, and it is just a matter of time. The time that should be excited has passed yesterday, and it is almost as exciting as it is.

And for Zhang Yifei, f1 is just the beginning. He will soon challenge the strongest group of drivers in the world, and that is the real test.

In the afternoon, Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto still did not return from Le Mans' report, so naturally there was no news about the Toyota technical team.

However, they did not come back. The hotel where Zhang Yifei was located welcomed a group of unexpected guests, and they were people Zhang Yifei never expected to come before.

These unexpected guests are reporters from CCTV Overseas Program Center. This time they came to give Zhang Yifei an exclusive interview on the theme of Formula Racing.

You should know that Zhang Yifei's crazy championship at Manicur Raceway and the exposure of the agreement with Prost, have caused a sensation in the entire European car world as the media interviews spread yesterday.

After all, Zhang Yifei not only copied Kimi Raikkonen's miracle, but also broke his record!

Compared to Kimi Raikkonen who used 23 Formula Raikkonen to become an F1 driver, Zhang Yifei shortened this number to 6 games. More importantly, Zhang Yifei also won the title of the youngest driver in the history of F1.

These records were broken by a young Chinese boy, and you can imagine how much shock it would have been to the European car world.

Naturally, it also affected the Chinese media. After all, China's first F1 driver was born. If you don't come to interview immediately, you're sorry for Zhang Yifei's breakthrough!

When Zhang Yifei won the sub-station championship, the domestic China Sports Daily had already reported on Zhang Yifei. It was just because it was a sports media and the unpopularity of racing, its influence was relatively limited. Only those who pay attention to racing knew that there was such a Formula driver in China.

But now it is completely different. Compared with the previous primary formula, the title of the first Chinese F1 driver is not at the same level at all. It can almost be equivalent to basketball players entering the NBA, football players entering the five major leagues, and may even be even higher.

After all, it is much more difficult to become an F1 driver than to become a player in the NBA or the five major leagues. This is an amazing breakthrough for the current Chinese motorsports.

Therefore, CCTV Overseas Program Center attached great importance to this interview. On the day Zhang Yifei won the championship, he became an interview team. The next day he rushed to the hotel where Zhang Yifei stayed. They arrived in the afternoon because of the journey.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang Yifei, I am Liu Jun, a reporter from CCTV's Overseas News Department. I plan to give you an exclusive interview with drivers. I wonder if it is convenient for you now?"

When Zhang Yifei heard the introduction of CCTV reporters, to be honest, he felt a little confused at that moment.

Because the hotel front desk called and just said that a reporter came to find him, but he didn't say that he was a reporter. Zhang Yifei thought that he might be a reporter from the European sports newspaper, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, he saw several Chinese people coming down and introduced them to CCTV. This was really a bit unexpected.

What is CCTV's status and level? As long as you are a Chinese, Zhang Yifei didn't expect that one day, CCTV's news and personal interviews would be!

"Mr. Zhang Yifei?"

Seeing Zhang Yifei approaching him blankly, Liu Jun called out his name to remind Zhang Yifei.

“Convenient, very convenient.”

Zhang Yifei quickly replied, stabilizing his surprise, and at the same time, a surprise appeared in his heart.

I happened to be thinking about how to get two million US dollars in sponsorship, but unexpectedly, the CCTV reporter team came in the afternoon.

With CCTV's influence in China, Zhang Yifei dared not say that he is well-known, but at least he can "become famous overnight". As long as he has fame and influence, the sponsorship will be much simpler.

There is no need for Zhang Yifei to take the initiative to look for it, some manufacturers will come to you by themselves!

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang Yifei, I wonder if you have a free room here to serve as a temporary interview room?"

“The hotel has a small conference room that can be used as a temporary interview room.”

"Okay, I'll bother Mr. Zhang Yifei."

Liu Jun seemed very polite, and did not feel any neglect because Zhang Yifei was just a teenager.

It can be clearly seen that the quality of national journalists is much better than that of many European media people.

"Reporter Liu, you are too kind, just call me Zhang Yifei."

As Zhang Yifei saw that Liu Jun was at least thirty years old, and he was still talking about Mr. Zhang Yifei's words, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Liu Jun nodded with a smile, and said nothing.

Zhang Yifei brought the CCTV reporter team to a small conference room in the hotel. The interview team immediately took out equipment such as lamps, lighting boards, cameras and other equipment. There was also a makeup artist coming to Zhang Yifei to help him organize his image.

The CCTV interview team was very fast. In just ten minutes, the lights were turned on and the cameras were arranged in place.
