558 Rekindling Fighting Spirit (Chapter 2)

Very confident.

After Zhang Yifei heard this, he smiled faintly. Is Villeneuve challenging himself?

Seeing Zhang Yifei put his eyes on the broadcast screen, Ahu on the side said, "Brother Fei, you really should go to the pre-match press conference today. These guys are talking loudly, so you have to suppress their arrogance!"

At today's pre-race press conference, Zhang Yifei's name was originally on the list of candidates for the track media center.

After all, he was the last Austrian Grand Prix champion and created the history of F1's first Asian champion. He should be the driver of today's press conference, both in terms of truth and reason.

However, Henry felt that the media and public opinion had become very popular before, and there were many opponents on the track today. If he was interviewed before the race, Zhang Yifei's personality might say some amazing words and add fuel to the fire.

Although the United States is not as chaotic as Brazil and the death threat can be made public, it is not good to cause some other extreme behaviors. So in order to cool down, Zhang Yifei missed the pre-match press conference of the US Grand Prix.

So this time the driver interviews became Schumacher of Ferrari, Montoya of Williams, Villeneuve of British and American teams, Kimi Raikkonen of McLaren and Coothard.

Schumacher won the championship on this track last year and was also the first American Grand Prix champion since the recovery of the US Grand Prix. As the defending champion this year, Schumacher has no suspense to become an interview driver.

Villeneuve and Montoya are both the champion drivers of the Indy Series. They have had a brilliant history on this track and have many crazy Indy fans. This is half of their home court, and it is also the protagonists of the competition, so it is not surprising that they have them.

Kimi Raikkonen lost in the last stop very unsatisfied, just like Zhang Yifei in the Brazilian Grand Prix. If Ralph hadn't knocked him out of the track, Kimi felt that he could get on the podium and even beat Zhang Yifei!

The Finnish Iceman, who has gradually awakened, has begun to show his potential.

The reason for Kurthard to come on stage is even simpler. He is the only two drivers in the new season who have hope of competing for the world championship. Schumacher is on stage, how could this old opponent miss it?

Being in the American track and Zhang Yifei suffered "public anger" again, this pre-race press conference naturally became Zhang Yifei's critical meeting. The reporters basically led the questions to Zhang Yifei and then asked other drivers to express their attitudes, so there was the Villeneuve provocation that Zhang Yifei heard.

"Ahu, I have to say something to you."

"What's wrong, Brother Fei?"

Ah Hu was confused. He didn't think he was saying the wrong thing.

"Now, your brother Fei, I am a F1 champion driver at least. I'm still going to whine. Have you lost my identity?"

"Remember, my endorsement is my voice in the future!"

Hearing this, Ah Hu rolled his eyes, but he still reluctantly responded: "I understand."

"Damn, I think you guys tend to become a rebellious boy!"

Zhang Yifei gestured his middle finger. Now even the number one horseman is "reversal"!

The full set of racing suits were changed into the lounge, and the pre-race press conference just ended. When the interviewed drivers went to the team's repair station, 170,000 spectators on the track made thunderous applause and cheers.

These cheering sounds are naturally for the two Indy annual champions on the track. They once again stood on this Indianapolis track and will conquer Formula One as the King of the Indy Series!

"Villeneuve, I believe in your strength and use the championship to prove yourself!"

"You will not sink forever, we will witness your rise again."

"Grand Slam King, you are not inferior to anyone!"

The roars and various Canadian and American flags on the track instantly turned this place into Villeneuve's home court.

Hearing these supportive voices, Villeneuve stood in the middle of the track, raising his right arm and stretching out his index finger.

This is the number of "1" and also the symbol of the championship. As the only active Grand Slam driver in the world, he is qualified and confident to express his identity as a king. He wants to tell these supporters that the former pride of heaven, the King of Formula is back!

Schumacher was standing behind Villeneuve at this moment, with a cold expression on his face, because Villeneuve's 1997 world champion was obtained by stepping on Schumacher's head, and even caused Schumacher to be cancelled for his annual points due to a malicious crash.

There are no two tigers in a mountain, and two kings cannot be allowed to appear on a track. Villeneuve wants to rise, but in fact, Zhang Yifei is really not his main enemy, Schumacher is!

The cheers in the stands were not only given to Villeneuve, but also Montoya, the Indy annual champion, also received warmer support and cheers than ever before.

"Montoya, don't be discouraged, we are still there!"

"You won't be a loser, kill the Chinese boy on the Indianapolis track!"

"Think about your past glory, can Chinese people really be better than you?"

"Rekindle the fighting spirit, Montoya!"

“Colombia will always be proud of you!”

When Montoya heard these shouting sounds, he saw the waving Colombian flag on the track again. His eyes turned red in an instant. He could only raise his head high so that he could not let tears fall.

After all, he has always maintained a tough image in the outside world, and men should not cry so easily.

Compared to Villeneuve, who has fallen to the bottom last year and is in an upward period this year, Montoya is more decadent this Grand Prix, after all, he is at the lowest point in his career.

Failures have lost all his confidence. Even in the lounge, facing Simmonds' encouragement, he has not been able to rekindle his confidence and fighting spirit like Villeneuve.

But the cheers at this moment made Montoya feel like the scene of winning the championship reappearing. It was with the support of Indian fans and fellow Colombians that he kissed the brick line of the Indianapolis track and drank the milk of the champion.

"Thank you, I'm still the Montoya I used to be! I'm the Indy World Champion!"

Montoya roared with all his strength to vent his humiliation and depression.

So what if you lose a few games? If you keep getting decadent, you will lose your entire career!

Montoya can give up on himself, but he can't be sorry for the Colombian car fans who support him behind the scenes!

In fact, Zhang Yifei can understand Montoya's mentality at this moment. This is the power brought by his supporters. Many times, when he faces the pressure, he sees the red flag waving on the track, and looks at his compatriots who have come to support him from thousands of miles away, Zhang Yifei feels that no matter what, he cannot extinguish the hope for Chinese racing in their hearts.

Montoya's roaring sound was covered in the thunderous cheering sound on the track, but the audience could also feel the rekindled fighting spirit from Montoya's expression and movements.

This is the hope of Columbia racing!

In the Minardi fleet repair station, Xiong Long and Madu were also standing at the door, feeling the fanaticism of the audience in the stands.

If Zhang Yifei had only been away from the track for three months, then Xiong Long had been away from the track for nearly half a year.

The crash at the Malaysian Grand Prix directly broke several ribs of Xiong Long. He knew that his chin was still scratched by racing fragments.

This crash had a great impact on Xiong Long. He changed from his hot and fierce personality to a cold and even a vaguely fierce driver. Xiong Long thought his career would end, but he did not expect Marquis to give him a record of returning to the track.

Xiong Long now not only wants to completely revenge Zhang Yifei, but also needs to show results to prove that he can gain a foothold in the F1 paddock.

Otherwise, his identity as a formal driver may become a substitute third driver with the end of the season and can only watch the game off the stage.

"Have you heard these calls? You also got them on the Sepang track."

Madu stood beside Xiong Long and said in a flaming manner. Compared with other experienced drivers in the fleet, Xiong Long, who had only had passion and impulse to make a name for himself, could be taken away by him.

Now that Xiong Long returns to the track again, Madu naturally doesn't want to give up this opportunity. No matter whether Xiong Long can defeat Zhang Yifei or not, he has no choice, and only this card is in his hand.

Seeing that Xiong Long had no response, Madu continued: "The Chinese guys on this track will definitely encounter many challenges, which gives you the opportunity to catch up with him in the chaos. If you really can't run him, knock him out of Turn 13 of the track!"

When talking about this, a coldness appeared in Madu's eyes. Almost everyone knew what would happen if the track 13 hit it. It was a "death turn".

"Crash Zhang Yifei out, what about me? I ended up with zero points, then continued to enter the hospital, and was finally swept out by Minardi's convoy?"

Xiong Long was not easily motivated by Madu like on the Sepang track, but asked him coldly.

"What do you mean by saying this? Don't forget, this is my convoy!"

Madu felt a little dissatisfied. Malaysian drivers like Xiong Long dared to bargain with his young boss?

"As long as you knock the Chinese out, I will convince my dad to give you a formal driver contract next year, so don't worry."

Hearing this promise, Xiong Long showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He was used as a gun once, but he could still say he was not guarded.

If it can be used twice in a row, it means that there is an IQ problem.
