Looking at Alonso who was trapped for two laps, and Jason Barton who only ran 52 laps behind and barely finished the race with the rules of the track.

Zhang Yifei's cold heart instantly became warm. Anyway, I am not the best, after all, this is the case for future world champions.

During the weighing of drivers, many drivers came to weigh after the race, and at the same time, many media were also here to take photos as soon as possible and use them in the press release.

Zhang Yifei came over, and many drivers nodded when they saw him, saying hello. Although he still seemed cold, he didn't even look at him when the driver was parading before, and he didn't know where he was going.

Facts have proved that in the f1 yard, only the strong are respected. Even though Zhang Yifei is still a newcomer now, he just won the attention and respect of some drivers with his debut sixth grade, and at least he will not completely ignore this Chinese newcomer.

Zhang Yifei didn't want to become a "lone" in the f1 yard in the future, so a driver greeted him, and he smiled and nodded as a reply.

The weighing ceremony of F1 is not as grand as a fighting event, and even comes with a press conference. There is only a simple floor scale in the room, and then a FIA staff member next to it records the weight of each driver.

Zhang Yifei stood on the ground scale, and compared to the pre-match weighing, his weight dropped by nearly 4 kilograms. If you want to compare weight loss, he lost nearly 4 kilograms in less than two hours, which is definitely an amazing number.

Under normal circumstances, drivers will dehydrate 3-4kg after the competition. Zhang Yifei's dehydration today is a relatively high value. The main reason for this is that because of his debut, Zhang Yifei's mental state has always been tense and he is not as relaxed as those old drivers.

Because there was redundancy reserved before the race, Zhang Yifei's weight and racing weight easily met the lightest standards of the FIA. Just as he was about to leave the weighing room and return to the team's repair station, Toyota's Verstappen also walked in to weigh.

When Zhang Yifei saw Verstappen, he would always subconsciously appear in his mind that the little Verstappen, nicknamed "turret", in later generations. However, in this era, the turret was just a few years old, and no one could have thought that he would become the driver of the Red Bull Racing team in the future.

“It was a good run.”

Verstappen stretched out his palm enthusiastically and slapped Zhang Yifei. He had been due to Alessi's feelings before, so he came over to say hello to Zhang Yifei during the pre-match parade to avoid his embarrassment.

But the change in attitude is that he has seen Zhang Yifei's performance on the track. Don't think it's easy to be able to make his debut into the top six points. Many mid- and downstream drivers may not get a single point all year.

Zhang Yifei's stable performance in the qualifying and main competition undoubtedly proves his strength and potential. This is what Verstappen appreciates and recognizes.

Standing in the f1 paddock, you can be unpopular with anyone, just like the highly accused Schumacher and Alonso.

But you must not be without strength and achievements, so that you will be truly despised!

"Thanks."

Zhang Yifei smiled and replied, Verstappen ranked tenth on the track today, so he didn't say much, so he wouldn't be mistaken for showing off his complacentness.

"Are you interested in going to have a drink to celebrate tonight?"

Verstappen sent an invitation to Zhang Yifei. Generally, there will be a half-month rest period after the sub-stop race, and many drivers will relax at the end of the Grand Prix.

Originally, Zhang Yifei planned to refuse because he was really not interested in drinking and taking a bar. Moreover, although the impact of alcohol on racing is not as serious as cigarettes, Zhang Yifei did not want to affect his performance on the track because of any living habits.

However, this time Zhang Yifei did not refuse. When he entered the f1 yard, he often had to abide by some rules of the game regardless of whether he was willing or not, without the ability to change.

Interpersonal relationships are also a kind of game rules. It is not a bad thing to be able to make more friends and get to know more team bosses in the f1 yard.

"no problem."

"Okay, I'll let Alessi contact you tonight."

After Verstappen said this, he began to weigh himself. From his words, we can also know that this is not a celebration of two people alone. There should be many riders gathering together.

If it weren't for Verstappen's invitation, Zhang Yifei would probably be an "outsider".

After the weighing, Zhang Yifei walked out of the room and prepared to return to the team repair station. However, outside the door, several reporters present surrounded him and asked Zhang Yifei's opinions on the game.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, he won the sixth place in his debut and entered the points zone. He is considered a very excellent result among new players. Did you expect this result before the game?"

"Fly, you lost to McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen. Do you still have the confidence to defeat the super newcomer now?"

"Your strong overtaking on the track has aroused some dissatisfaction with Montoya. What do you think about this?"

One after another, the problems came, perhaps because of the fatigue brought by the high-intensity season. Zhang Yifei was not very interested in responding to interviews. So he just said a few polite words and then turned around and left.

Among these questions, the only thing that made Zhang Yifei feel a little interested was Montoya's accusation after the game.

You should know that in the F1 paddock, there are often some controversy and accusations caused by track accidents. If it is fierce, the drivers of both sides will also cause conflicts. For example, Schumacher rushed to the Coothard team repair station because of a car crash, preparing to teach each other a lesson with his fists.

In most cases, this accusation is a matter of the same as both sides. On the one hand, I think that I overtake with my ability, so why can't I surpass it?

The other party naturally thinks that I am leading by ability, why should I let you get the line to surpass it?

So unless it is a very obvious dangerous driving move, this kind of accusation is just a verbal trick. Zhang Yifei just feels a little emotional. It seems that no matter what kind of first game he is, he is easily criticized by his opponent. It seems that his aggressive driving style can easily offend people.

Not every driver can accept such a strong attack. The proud Indy 500 world champion Montoya is naturally even more unacceptable.

Back at the repair station, the team members had already started to pack up their things, and all the equipment and parts would be transported to the next track by plane.

The next stop will go to Asia in the northern hemisphere, which is the newly built Sepang Circuit in Malaysia.

At the same time, the Australian Grand Prix award ceremony is being held. However, the previous track accident has been reported to the exact news that the staff member who was hit by the tire has been confirmed to be dead.

This incident cast a shadow on today's celebration ceremony. Schumacher, who won the championship in the points, did not make the champagne squirt to celebrate, which was regarded as a expression of condolences to the track staff.

"How does it feel?"

Seeing Zhang Yifei coming, Cosel finally spoke the first sentence.

"Fortunately, I can adapt, there is no problem."

Zhang Yifei replied casually, after the speed and passion faded, he felt more tired, which may also be related to severe dehydration.

"I'm so calm when I get the sixth place to enter the points zone?"

"Isn't this your standard requirement? If you get the sixth place, you will be satisfied. How can you compete for the championship?"

"I have never set the standard for the F1 world championship."

"That's what you think in your heart."

Zhang Yifei replied angrily.

Hearing this sentence, a playful smile appeared on Cosell's old face. He did not deny Zhang Yifei's words.

At this moment, Alaixi, who was standing behind Zhang Yifei to weigh, also came back. He looked at Zhang Yifei, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhang Yifei chatting with Cosell, he did not speak in the end, but went to the backstage lounge to take a shower and change clothes.

At the same time, the boss Prost, who was interviewed after the race, also came back, and he could be described as a red face. The point Prost team scored today is a "historic" breakthrough!

You should know that Prost didn't score a point last season, and even ended in the second half of last season, with zero points. Otherwise, he would not have sought to join Heidfield, who was still a newcomer at the time.

Today, Zhang Yifei entered the top six and scored one point, breaking Prost's "points drought" that lasted for one and a half years. And not only Zhang Yifei entered the top six, but even Alessi has always withdrawn from the previous game to the bottom and reached the ninth position.

It is obvious that Alessi's condition and fighting spirit have recovered quickly in the main race. Prost has begun to imagine that both drivers will enter the points zone in the next stop, so that Prost team will jump from the bottom and jump into the forefront.

All the difficulties faced by the fleet will be solved!

"Fei, you are really my lucky star. I ran so well today."

After saying that, Zhang Yifei also gave Zhang Yifei a big hug. A "professor" who calmly calculated the construction of the city suddenly made Zhang Yifei feel a little uncomfortable.

"Boss, calm down."

Zhang Yifei replied awkwardly, and he couldn't accept Prost's change.

Hearing Zhang Yifei say this and Cosel standing beside him and watching, Prost finally calmed down a little, but the expression on his face was still very excited.

After all, it's been a year and a half, and the team finally ushered in a zero breakthrough. It's understandable that Prost, who has been under pressure for so long, is a bit too excited and it's understandable.

"Fei, to celebrate today's victory, the convoy will hold a big party for you and Alessi tonight!"

party? Hearing this word, Zhang Yifei suddenly remembered Verstappen’s invitation. He had agreed before. If he broke the appointment, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Sorry, boss, I have promised Verstappen to attend to this evening's cocktail party."

"Evening party?"

Hearing this, Prost was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized. Usually, after the opening game, in order to celebrate and contact each other, the drivers would hold a cocktail party.

Before the driver parade, Prost noticed that Zhang Yifei was isolated, but this kind of thing was not uncommon in the f1 paddock. Because compared with other sports events, f1 can only be regarded as a very small circle.

Now it seems that Zhang Yifei's performance today has won the recognition of other drivers, so he invited him to the cocktail party. This is a good thing for Chinese newcomers and can be integrated into the atmosphere of f1 more quickly.

"Well, I believe that such a celebration party will be very common in the future."

After saying this with a smile, Prost suddenly remembered another thing, and he said, "By the way, Montoya is very dissatisfied with you after the game today. If you meet him at night, try not to cause any conflict."

During the interview after the weighing game, the reporter asked this question, but Zhang Yifei took it seriously.

Now Prost said it again, it seems that he still felt very resentful in his heart when the crash today.

After all, this was also his debut, with the hopes of thousands of Colombian spectators on the track and the glory of the Indy 500 world champion. Because of Zhang Yifei's tough overtaking, he failed to even finish the race.

"Don't worry, there's no problem."

Zhang Yifei said indifferently that he overtaken and induced a crash. But the problem is that Zhang Yifei did not violate the rules. At that time, he had already successfully grabbed the line and the body of the car almost completely surpassed Montoya. The other party was unwilling to take it back.

So Zhang Yifei thinks that he has no responsibility, and it is best if the other party can figure it out. If he can't figure out what trouble he wants to make, then the iron fist of communism is not a vegetarian.

"I believe you can handle it."

After saying that, Prost patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder and prepared to coordinate the transfer of the convoy.

But at this time, Prost suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhang Yifei and said, "By the way, I'll take control of it a little at night, after all, you're still young."

"What to control? I won't drink too much."

Zhang Yifei replied casually.
Chapter completed!
