440 The Sensation of Returning to China (Chapter 1)

As the journey to the Malaysian Grand Prix ends, Prost team has also entered a tense post-race demolition stage, with all equipment and cars packing and transporting to the next race location.

The third stop is quite far from Malaysia. One is in the eastern hemisphere and the other is in the western hemisphere, directly spanning the entire earth. It is the Brazilian station located in South America.

In later generations, Brazil's key words are samba, football, etc. But in fact, Brazil's Formula Racing is simply too strong for a developing country and a weak industrial country.

Brazil has produced many F1 drivers, of course the most famous one is the car god Senna, who can be said to be the representative and symbol of Brazilian racing.

But in addition to Senna, Brazil also has treble champion Nelson Pegette, as well as the first sub-camp and world champion Emerson Fedipaltti in Brazil's history.

Even in the era in which Zhang Yifei is currently living, Barrichello of Ferrari team is also a Brazilian driver. Soon another famous Brazilian driver, Masa, will also enter the f1 paddock.

It is precisely because of the existence of these drivers and the birth of digital world champions that Brazil has a strong racing atmosphere and has its own place in the f1 paddock.

In addition to these drivers, the Brazilian track itself is also very distinctive.

Just like the Sepang Circuit in Malaysia, the Brazilian Interlagers Circuit has a tropical rainforest climate, and there are often sudden rainfall. Moreover, the Interlagers Circuit and the Sepang Circuit are two extremes. The Sepang Circuit is as wide as 22 meters, and the Interlagers Circuit is not even half, which is extremely narrow.

This narrow track not only increases the intensity of competition in the track, but also causes frequent crashes and other accidents.

For the FIA ​​and F1 management organizations, reducing the incidence of track accidents and ensuring the safety of drivers is their goal.

But for a car fan or ordinary audience, what they want to see is a more intense and exciting competition, rather than the drivers driving "health cars" on the track. The crash caused by overtaking is the most intense part of the competition!

Therefore, the Brazilian station attracted the attention of many car fans around the world, especially after 2004, the Brazilian Grand Prix became the final battle of the F1 season. The many annual dramas that decided the ownership of the world championship were staged, which made car fans even more crazy.

Zhang Yifei likes challenging tracks, and the Brazilian track just meets his requirements. In addition, as the hometown of the car god Senna, Zhang Yifei also wants to go and see it.

After experiencing the transition from the Australian station, Zhang Yifei is no longer unfamiliar with the transition from the convoy, so he became much more calm. More importantly, he did not plan to go to Sao Paulo, Brazil with the convoy, and time was not tight.

At breakfast the next day, the team members gathered in the restaurant, but slightly different from the past. The F1 team has its own chefs, and the rich even brings their own raw materials to ensure that the taste and nutrition of the drivers and the team are balanced.

When Zhang Yifei arrived at the restaurant, Cosel and Prost were already sitting there, with several newspapers placed on the table.

It can be imagined that Zhang Yifei is the first Chinese to take the F1 podium and also created the rain battle miracle of the Sepang Circuit. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the headline figure in many newspapers.

Sitting in the empty seat at the dining table, Zhang Yifei picked up a newspaper and said in a proud tone: "Look at how the media reported on my brave performance yesterday. Sometimes I really want to be low-key, but there is no way, my strength just doesn't allow it."

When Zhang Yifei picked up the newspaper, the previous smug expression disappeared, and replaced by a strange expression.

The front page of the newspaper is indeed Zhang Yifei, but it is not a report on his performance, but a picture of Sophia holding him and kissing him at the repair station.

It also comes with a big title "The new generation of paddock playboys, underages are surrounded by beautiful women!"

Damn, what's this all about it? It's a fact to say that underage is a fact, and it's a playboy tolerate it. But the question is whether it's blind or what's wrong? Sophia is the only one in total. How did the word "surround" come up with it?

"Cosell, boss, when do you have a hobby for reading entertainment newspapers?"

Looking at the playful smiles on the faces of the people opposite, Zhang Yifei said awkwardly, and then changed to a newspaper.

The next newspaper is not a photo of him and Sophia, but it is not a headline. The homepage is a picture of Schumacher holding the championship trophy high.

"Six consecutive championships, is Schumacher on his own path to the gods?"

Schumacher was placed on the front page, and Zhang Yifei had no opinion. This is the honor that the champion should enjoy.

And he won the sub-station championship for six consecutive times, which is definitely a great achievement. As a veteran of history, Zhang Yifei knew that this was the starting point for Schumacher's destiny.

There are also reports about Zhang Yifei on the side of this newspaper, describing the difficulty of winning the third place on the track. However, it also implies that Zhang Yifei took the woman to the fleet maintenance station, which is an indulgent act.

Before you can achieve outstanding results on the track, you will start to be so indulgent, and the future will definitely be useless.

Seeing this conclusion, Zhang Yifei was also a little stunned. When did he take the woman to the repair station to indulge him?

The playboy behavior of James Hunter is not the mainstream of F1 drivers, let alone the extremely self-disciplined Zhang Yifei.

In order to maintain an absolutely clear mind and strong physical fitness, Zhang Yifei can be said to be free from smoking and drinking, let alone having a woman at the repair station. It can be said that Zhang Yifei is like Senna, and has implemented the driver's words without a woman to the end. What this report implies is really a bit dark!

"fuk, what the hell is this? If it weren't for the lack of time and energy in the competition, I would have just warned him by the lawyer's letter."

Seeing Zhang Yifei's unhappy appearance, the members of the strategy group at the dining table couldn't help laughing.

Charlie, who was sitting next to him, patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder and said to him: "Don't be angry, this is the media. For them, the popularity of a third-place finisher may not be as popular as the gossip in the paddock."

Charlie told a fact that Zhang Yifei, the third place in the branch, may be considered a breakthrough for him, for Chinese racing, and even for Asian motorsports.

But in F1, the third place in the sub-station is nothing more than a slump. Even the runner-up is just the background wall for the championship. If Zhang Yifei hadn't performed too amazingly in the Sepang track and caused a shock in the car world, he would probably not even be qualified to report.

Not to mention the third place in the branch, even if it is the third place in the season, a few years later, except for the "professional" car fans, how can ordinary people still remember who won the third place?

Only champions are qualified to be remembered by the world!

Henry also said tactfully at this time: "And you were flying with the local driver before."

Alex has had a grudge, and it is normal for them to report this way, you know."

There has never been an absolutely objective and fair media, and all of them have their own positions. These newspapers are all local to Malaysia. Zhang Yifei and Xiong Long's holiday would not be so easy to turn the article.

If it weren't for the shocking counterattack of the Rain War, as Charlie said, they would not have reported Zhang Yifei to avoid adding heat to him. So even if it was reported, it would be normal to target some of the content. Do you still want them to put their "enemy" out of the flower?

"It seems that I have to go back to China and balance it with more complimentary reports."

Zhang Yifei joked, but in fact he didn't take these reports seriously. In fact, any industry is famous, it is similar to a celebrity, and doing something serious is far less attractive than gossip news.

It’s like the stars just exposed their love, marriage, divorce, etc., and the number of comments and likes is a perfect business promotion.

Facts have proved that the mainstream of this world is the melon-eating crowd!

"When are you going to set out?"

"Let's go later."

The trip back to China was confirmed by Zhang Yifei at the Australian station. After all, there are many things he needs to go back to China to handle.

For example, when shooting the promotional picture of the F1 Donghai International Raceway, he is the spokesperson for the driver of the Donghai Grand Prix.

There is also a 3 million USD endorsement contract signed with the Diniz family. The treaty stipulates that Zhang Yifei needs to cooperate with Puma's publicity activities in China, and it just so happens that he can get it back to China this time.

Another thing is a relatively embarrassing thing, that is, when Zhang Yifei has a F1 super driver's license, he does not have an ordinary driver's license.

This led to his daily travel abroad, where he was driving without a license. If this was a more kind person in the police, he would run if he could drive without a license.

If it is too much like the US imperialists, if you want to run away, you will be afraid that the magazine will be empty. If a world-class F1 driver falls on driving without a license, this is a bit too messy.

So this time when he returned to China, Zhang Yifei planned to solve the problem of his driver's license and could not drive without a license in the future!

After breakfast, Zhang Yifei packed his luggage and went to China alone.

In fact, he also wanted to bring Ahu and Zhi Ge back and let them reunite with their families. However, this suggestion should not be rejected by Ahu and Zhi Ge at the same time.

The reason is very simple. They are now members of F1 drivers and are still in the season competition. The transition is under great pressure. At this time, sticking to the team is the professional spirit of a maintenance technician!

So Zhang Yifei didn't force him, he understood the significance and importance of professional spirit.

Kuala Lumpur is not far from China. A few hours later, Zhang Yifei landed at the Hong Kong Island International Airport. But when he walked out of the pick-up gate, he was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.

The entire airport is simply rows of people’s walls! That’s right, it’s people’s walls!

From the banners and shouting slogans in these people, we can see that they are all welcoming themselves.
Chapter completed!
