"The contempt from the new F1 champion, the Indy champion is vulnerable?"

"Who is the king of the track between Formula One and Local Formulas!"

"The Provocation of Chinese Newcomer, Indy champion should prove himself!"

"Racial discriminatory Zhang Yifei, not worthy of competing in the US Grand Prix."

"The American driver will teach him a lesson if he commits public anger."

Exaggerated newspaper titles are arousing the anger of American car fans, and a steady stream of Americans are beginning to flock to Indiana.

You should know that because the Indianapolis track is an oval layout, the most exaggerated time is to build a stand in the middle, which can accommodate an astonishing number of 400,000 spectators.

However, this is just a theoretical figure. In fact, for the sake of viewing effect and experience, as well as the safety of the event, the organizer will not allow so many spectators to enter the venue, otherwise it will be crowded.

Therefore, the Indianapolis Raceway has recorded only 300,000 per day in history. And this is the number of people that can only be reached in the Indy Racing finals, under normal circumstances, it is about 200,000, or even lower.

The influence of the F1 event in the United States is actually not as good as that of Indy Racing. The subjective reason here is that many American fans think that F1 is too civilized, too restrained, or even too sissy, without the wild speed and passion of Indy Racing.

The objective reason is that the United States deliberately suppresses the popularity of the F1 event through cancellation and ban in order to make its own voice in the racing field. Therefore, in most cases, the number of spectators at F1 on the Indianapolis track is not much different from other tracks, which is about 100,000 people.

But this time, because of Zhang Yifei's remarks on Time magazine and the assault of a group of black people in the street, it was suspected of racial discrimination, the American media was hyped up as a negative example, which indirectly led to the surge in the number of car fans paying attention to the US Grand Prix. Mobile::

The 100,000 tickets sold pre-sale have been sold out, and even the 200,000 viewers that were opened later were a bit insufficient. More and more Americans want to see who this arrogant Chinese driver is, and dare to provoke the local formula so much. Do you really think that there is no one in the American driver?

"Fei, it's really a big deal now."

Henry put down the newspaper in his hand, and his emotions were a little complicated.

Before, he said that Zhang Yifei was going to be popular all over the world, which was more of a joking attitude, and proper hype was not harmful, and it was of great help to the reputation of drivers and teams.

But this time I feel like I'm overplaying. The event tickets have broken the sales record of the US Grand Prix, and 200,000 American fans will come to witness the game.

This is still the result of restricting ticket sales, otherwise the number of people will only be more!

And now the American media are about to make Zhang Yifei the image of "public enemy of the United States". The arrogant world's number one citizen is completely unable to accept the contempt of a Chinese driver, believing that this is the biggest insult to the United States!

"Is that? Then it seems that they are really angry easily."

Zhang Yifei still replied calmly, his current psychological quality is "invincible". No foreign attitudes or safety can affect his emotions.

He has been a "public enemy of the driver", he has also been a "provoker" in Malaysia, and the "Brazil villain" has received death threats.

In fact, since Zhang Yifei chose to take the most difficult driver path, the driver, he has been mentally prepared, that is, to be an enemy of the world!

Seeing Zhang Yifei's attitude, Henry didn't know what to say. As the leader, of course he hoped that his drivers would have good psychological qualities and a stable mentality. But Zhang Yifei was too unfair to take it seriously. In Chinese saying, it was a bit like the emperor was not anxious and the eunuch was anxious.

"You don't care about external public opinion, but you should pay attention to things on the track."

"It goes without saying that Schumacher wants to win the championship. McLaren lost last time very unconvinced. Kimi will definitely try his best to win the American Grand Prix. In addition, you really can't underestimate Villeneuve and Montoya. They are definitely not rookies on the Indianapolis track."

"And Bear Dragon, you have had a grudge with him and Montoya. Now the driver rankings are basically fixed, and they have no chance to hit the final title. To prevent them from making some extreme offensive moves on the track, the Indianapolis track is harder and more dangerous than you think."

Henry looked at Zhang Yifei who seemed to care little and emphasized again that this was not only a question of ranking, but also a question of track safety.

At the last Austrian Grand Prix, Prost team was in the limelight and beat the Big Three teams. It was the last player in the previous season and stood on the highest podium.

This kind of counterattack may have rarely happened once or twice in the F1 field for decades. Now the team is dedicated to it, just waiting for Zhang Yifei and Alessi to go further next season and become the fourth giant in the F1 paddock!

The season is over, and the result is almost a foregone conclusion. Prost has no need to stick to the results anymore. Therefore, the team management cares more about the drivers and leaves hope for the new season next year.

In addition, Henry didn't say something, that is, now Zhang Yifei is not only facing the competition of F1 drivers, but even many Indy drivers have also publicly stated that they want to challenge and teach Zhang Yifei a lesson, so that he can understand what a real strong man is!

However, this is all in the verbal stage. It is difficult to find a fair rule for two different types of racing cars to compete. Now Zhang Yifei is under great pressure from the American audience. Henry doesn't want to let these unimportant things affect Zhang Yifei's mentality.

"I know the dangers of Indianapolis track, and I understand that the points are not very important to me and the team now."

"I will pay attention to safety, but I will never compromise!"

Zhang Yifei replied firmly, the reason why Americans are so angry is that they feel that their remarks offend them.

Did Zhang Yifei offend the United States if he said so excessively? In fact, this kind of interview may be even more overbearing and arrogant. What is wrong with a driver who thinks he is very strong and wants to win?

This is very similar to the later domestic demands that the NBA brain-dead manager apologize. It was a very reasonable and normal request, but the Americans felt that they had offended them and all attacked and protested unscrupulously.

This is the arrogance in the bones of Americans. They actually don’t care what you said, or even what you are right or wrong. As long as you don’t admit defeat, it doesn’t fit their wishes, don’t be humble or even kneel down, you will definitely attack and oppress you.

Zhang Yifei has 20 years of historical development experience and is already very familiar with the American style.

So he can't compromise and bow his head. Zhang Yifei won't spoil these Americans. Points and defeating his opponents are actually second. What Zhang Yifei has to do is to top the US Grand Prix as much as possible, and then use the identity of Chinese champion to fight back!

Aren't you very arrogant and proud? The US F1 Grand Prix, the home court of the Indian local formula, was dominated by a Chinese driver. Are you angry at that time?

Henry also knew that Zhang Yifei's tough attitude was the personality of this kid. Without such a strong and brave personality, he would not be the strongest newcomer on the track at present. Computer::/

Just as many people regret Senna at the time, thinking that he was too radical and competitive, so he died young.

But if Senna had not given up all the extremes for racing, could Senna still become the car god admired by the world?

The answer may be no. He will become an ordinary husband in Sao Paulo, Brazil, rather than the future car god who heads to the UK!

In the afternoon, Zhang Yifei went to the Indianapolis Raceway. This was the second time that Zhang Yifei went to the competition venue after coming that night.

Due to the shortage of racing parts before, the Prost car used in the competition has not been assembled well, and it doesn't make much sense for Zhang Yifei to go to the track every day. It's better to drive a few more simulators at this time.

After all, if the cement wall of the Indianapolis track is hit, it is really not a joke.

When Zhang Yifei reached the Indianapolis Raceway this time, it felt completely different from the night. Many places on the road were not conventional asphalt pavements, but floor tiles similar to Chinese sidewalks.

These floor tiles are monumental, because the Indianapolis track was originally made of more than 3 million bricks. Even a three-foot-long brick line was left at the starting line of the track to commemorate the history of the track.

At the same time, the celebration of local formula champions is also very different from F1.

The podium of the F1 champion is sprayed with champagne to celebrate the victory, while the Indy Racing champion will return to the starting point and kiss the red bricks at the starting line to show the inheritance of the Indy Racing. At the same time, the podium is not sprayed with champagne, but drink butter and milk.

These actions have become iconic actions of the Indy event and are also a business card that distinguishes Formula One.

However, Zhang Yifei quickly looked into the distance. Under the slightly vast American wilderness, a long circle of cement walls surrounded the Indianapolis track like a fortress.

The audience can even climb directly onto these cement walls and use the closest distance to feel the whistling of cars at hundreds of kilometers per hour.

And compared with the speed of the F1 car with a maximum speed of 350km/h, Indy car on the elliptical track, due to the different aerodynamic layout and the lighter body, their maximum speed can exceed 400km/h, which is truly a flying speed.

If you hit a cement wall at this speed, the consequences can be imagined. Since 1979, 70 Indy drivers have been buried here in 20 years.

You should know that most of the F1 racing deaths were in the early 1950s and 1960s. After entering the 1980s and 1990s, various safety regulations were introduced, and basically few drivers died.

After Senna's death in 1994, no death occurred until the time when Zhang Yifei was.
