It's the weekend. Today's Albert Park Circuit is the most lively day. It's not too much to use adjectives such as crowds, crowds, crowds, and crowds.

All the stands were packed at this moment, and even the open spaces on the sidelines were filled with car fans and spectators.

The grandeur of the opening game, coupled with the fermentation of various reports and the emergence of new dark horses, this year's F1 season highlights a sense of freshness and gunpowder.

But before the start of the main race, there was a highly anticipated F1 driver parade. This is a way for drivers to communicate with each other and pay tribute to the host country's fans, similar to the kind of fan feedback that the drivers meet.

Compared with the F1 driver meeting before the race, the driver's parade is obviously more formal and grand, and it is more like a carnival on the track!

At twelve o'clock noon, the start time of the driver's parade. At about eleven o'clock, Zhang Yifei and the team members had already arrived at the team's P room and began to prepare for the pre-race.

At 11:50, ten minutes before the driver's parade, Zhang Yifei, Alessi and Prost got up and set out from the driver's lounge to head to the driver's gathering area on the track.

To be honest, since the first meeting during the winter test stage and the historical impressions in memory, Zhang Yifei is actually not unfamiliar with the other team drivers present.

However, for various reasons, except Xiong Long, Zhang Yifei basically had no communication with other drivers and was still familiar. Even if he was the most famous Schumacher, Zhang Yifei had no chance to say hello to him.

After all, it is in different fleets and repair stations. Without special reasons, Zhang Yifei cannot come to visit each family with small gifts, right?

Of course, this is just for a newcomer like Zhang Yifei. Old drivers have traveled to several teams, experienced various parades and backstage lounges, met interviews, and were more familiar with each other.

Take Alessi as an example. He has been in Tyrell, Ferrari, Benetton, Sauber, Prost, Jordan and other teams. It is a bit difficult to not know drivers from other teams.

When Zhang Yifei and his friends walked out of the safety passage, there were cheers and whistles outside. The audience and car fans at the scene used various ways to express their excitement and fanaticism in their hearts.

At this moment, a small piece of space has been fenced on the open space on the track to prevent these fanatical fans from doing anything extreme. Many participating drivers and team leaders have gathered here to greet each other and say hello.

Zhang Yifei, Alessi and Prost also came to the crowd. Alessi's more than ten years of track experience have given him many familiar drivers, so he can easily integrate into it.

Not to mention Prost, as a legendary driver on the track and now the boss of the team, he can be called a big shot, so he naturally keeps greetings.

The only thing that seemed a little awkward and deserted was Zhang Yifei. He was very familiar with and understood the drivers present today, but the problem was that what Zhang Yifei called understanding was unilateral and complicated.

Other drivers had no friendship with Zhang Yifei. They may not even hear the name before the Chinese newcomer entered F1. In addition, Zhang Yifei completed the miracle of "three-level jump" and entered F1, resulting in no acquaintances in the F1 driver circle who had competed in the same field.

If Zhang Yifei had experienced the f3 and f3000 events step by step, he might be able to chat and laugh with Kubica, Masa and others on the court today. Although we are opponents and have had some unpleasant experiences, in the f1 paddock, we are considered newcomers who are familiar with each other, at least not so strange.

Because he was unfamiliar with Zhang Yifei's personality and had no "social" attributes, he could only stand there a little awkwardly, not knowing whether he should take the initiative to say hello or do something else.

Zhang Yifei did not take the initiative to say hello, and the other drivers had a great conversation, and even ignored Zhang Yifei's existence.

This kind of ignorance has a strange factor, but there is also a hidden isolation!

Because of Zhang Yifei's identity as a Chinese driver, the arrogant words he made, and even the radical style of his unyielding in the track, they are not in line with the prudent and low-key and tolerant pleasing character of many drivers.

Now Zhang Yifei looks like Lewis Hamilton, who just entered the F1 field in later generations. As the first black driver in F1 history, Hamilton was once isolated by other drivers because of his skin color and his tough racing style.

In the 2007 and 2008 F1 season, during the driver parade, you can see more than once that when Hamilton walked out of the security check passage, no driver said hello to him.

Even standing on the float, there were clear scenes. Hamilton stood alone by the side, occasionally with friends, Suthir, a driver from the Indian Power, said something to him.

When facing the interview with reporters, Hamilton clenched his fists and said, "What I can express is that it will improve next time. If everyone is still unhappy, then I can't do anything about it."

"But things like this will not only not hit me, but will also make me stronger. The most important thing that I have learned is how to build confidence in the wind and rain and turn grief into strength!"

History has proved that strength is everything on the track. Hamilton responded to the previous doubts and isolation with the youngest F1 championship title in history, making him one of the most popular drivers.

When Zhang Yifei saw these reports, he was more of a mentality of reading biographies. He didn't expect that one day he would empathize with him.

But Zhang Yifei was not good at concluding that others deliberately isolated themselves because of their identity as a Chinese driver or some radical remarks on the track. What if they were embarrassed to say hello just because they were unfamiliar?

However, Zhang Yifei soon saw that the new players Montoya, Bernoldi and others who appeared later were welcomed by other drivers, which was also an expression of the new players entering the field.

He immediately understood that this might have nothing to do with strangers. In an instant, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Yifei's mouth. It seems that his F1 career is really a long way to go!

"Vistapan, this is our team's newcomer flying this year, let's get to know each other."

Alessi's voice sounded from beside him. He brought Toyota's driver Jos Verstappen to Zhang Yifei and took the initiative to introduce both sides.

Jos Verstappen is the father of Marx Verstappen, the later Red Bull team. He has made no special achievements in F1 and is also a part of the mid- and lower-level teams.

But he gave birth to a good son, inherited his F1 career, and created the famous nickname "Second Generation of Officials".

“hello.”

The sudden appearance of Alaisi and Verstappen surprised Zhang Yifei a little, and he quickly reached out to say hello to the other party.

Verstappen looked at Zhang Yifei with a smile, shook hands and said, "You performed very well in the qualifying match and deserved the title of super newcomer. Even Alessi praised you to me just now."

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei looked at Alessi with some surprise, but the French veteran turned his head to one side, as if he didn't see Zhang Yifei's unexpected expression.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yifei instantly understood that Alaisi saw that he was isolated, so he took the initiative to bring people to rescue him, and even praised him to other drivers.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei was a little moved. Maybe this was a French veteran who helped him and his "school" of the team.

"Thank you, but I'm still far from being a super newcomer."

Zhang Yifei replied modestly, "He is the kind of person who is soft but not hard." The more he laughs at him, the more arrogant and arrogant Zhang Yifei looks.

On the contrary, the other party is willing to look at it fairly and objectively, or even say some polite words. Zhang Yifei is rather modest and can't see the image in front of the media at all.

"I'm not polite, but you have this potential. Come on the game."

“Work hard together.”

After a few polite words, the brief gathering time ended, and the drivers began to step onto the red carpet and headed to the floats that were cruising along the track.

In one game, the F1 driver parades are on the track, but there are also some special situations. For example, the cruise at the UK station is placed in Trafalgar Square in London, so the location is not fixed or unchanging.

The drivers began to walk on the red carpet, with racing girls and sign-raising staff on both sides. After they saw the drivers coming, they began to applaud and cheer, and some people even stretched out their palms and high-fives with the drivers passing by.

Zhang Yifei walked on the red carpet alone, and he was not so frustrated because of his previous isolation.

On the contrary, he looked at everything around him with interest, which was completely unfamiliar and novel for Zhang Yifei. After all, it was his first time to experience such a driver parade, which was very similar to the champion parade of some teams in later generations.

Just as Zhang Yifei was looking at everything around him, there was a man wearing a red T-shirt next to him, and the galloping horse shield logo on his chest represented the identity of the Ferrari convoy.

Zhang Yifei subconsciously looked at his side and saw a familiar face, but it had a very unreal feeling, because this man was Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher.

“The psychological quality is very good.”

Schumacher walked beside Zhang Yifei and said to him. He naturally saw other drivers and was isolated intentionally or unintentionally.

But what surprised him was that it was this new Chinese guy who was not affected at all, and he was still interested in looking at everything around him with curious eyes.
