563 Champions Assemble (Chapter 2)

In the screen on the broadcast screen, three men's faces appeared to be precise. They did not feel shy when facing the camera, nor did they feel particularly excited or excited.

Still sitting in the seat, he waved to the camera with a smile, saying hello.

However, their actions aroused the emotions of the audience. Not only did the car fans who were about to leave the venue stopped, but even the audience who had already walked towards the exit came back and roared wildly!

“indy”!”

"oh  my  god! They are actually here!"

"Indy Champion!"

"The real king!"

The fanatical shouting instantly swept the Indianapolis track, and in the end it gathered into a word, that is indy!

Because the men appearing in the broadcast screen are the Indy 500 World Champion drivers in recent years. They used to wear baseball caps, sunglasses and other equipment, and found that there were not many car fans.

After the practice game on the first day of the US Grand Prix, the track media center began a "return performance" and there was such a fanatical performance on the track.

The three Indy champions are brack, lazier, and helio castroneves.

Among them, Blake was the Indy 500 champion in 1998 (historically it was 1999).

Lei Qi was the double Indy champion in 1993 and 1996. Villeneuve won him that year and won the 1995 Indy annual championship. A year later, he made a comeback and wanted to seek revenge on Villeneuve, but the Canadians had already gone to the F1 paddock.

In the end, Helio is the new Indy 500 champion this year. In history, he has also defended the 2001 and 2002 Indy World Championship titles in succession, and is known as the strongest newcomer in recent years. Many event records in the Indy Series have been broken in his hands.

To be honest, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to appear an Indy champion among the stands. It is almost impossible to appear three Indy world champions at the same time.

And today, not only are the three Indian champions in the stands, but also Montoya and Villeneuve in the F1 team, which is equivalent to the Indianapolis track at this moment, and there are five Indy racing kings at the same time. This is the first time on the historical level.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the American audience and car fans were so excited and crazy.

Hearing a deafening scream suddenly from the yard, many drivers and crew members in the repair station who were preparing to inspect the racing car could not help but wonder what was going on the track.

The same is true for the Prost team repair station. Zhang Yifei just got off the race car and was about to take off his equipment, but he heard all kinds of screams and cheers.

"What's going on outside? Haven't today's game ended?"

Zhang Yifei muttered, "This voice is not coming to mock him, why is it still so lively in the enclosure?"

"Go out and see what's going on."

Charlie put down the tools in his hand and greeted the crew members. Today's race is over and the time is not as nervous as before, so it's okay to join in the fun.

When the Prost crew members walked out of the repair station, many of the crew members of the other teams were already standing on the repair channel. Their eyes were all looking at the track broadcasting screen, which was showing reporters interviewing the audience in the stands.

The competition is over, and there is still a post-match interview with the audience?

Zhang Yifei was surprised to see this scene. He had at least run several games. He remembered that there was no practice interview with the audience after the game. Is this a feature of the American Grand Prix?

And even if we interview the audience after the game, these Americans were so excited. Haven’t you seen such a scene?

Just when Zhang Yifei was full of doubts, Henry also saw this scene. He immediately said in an amazement: "What's wrong today? Are the Indy champions gathering?"

"What's the meaning?"

Zhang Yifei asked casually, Indy Racing in another world had never been introduced to China, so he didn't know much about Indy champions, especially this kind of early Indy driver.

"These are all the Indy 500 annual champions in recent years, especially the youngest one, his name is Helio, and he is the new champion this year and is also known as the strongest Indy annual champion in recent years!"

"Is that so? Then who is stronger than Montoya?"

Zhang Yifei asked with interest. He is now a melon-eating crowd watching the fun.

"I think it's Helio. Montoya's strongest thing is that he won the Indy 500 World Championship in the rookie season, but he didn't have much track record."

"And this guy can be said to have swept many track records in Indy, and even Indy fans think he will defend the Indy champion next year, and it is rumored that McLaren is very interested in him and may take over Coothard's shift in two years."

"It sounds a bit strong."

Zhang Yifei nodded. Unlike the American media's reports that deliberately exaggerated and prominent conflicts, Zhang Yifei actually does not underestimate the Indy champion.

Because Indy's annual champion crossed the border to Formula 1, they are basically not weak. It goes without saying that Villeneuve won the world championship in the F1 world. Even if it was Montoya, his career in F1 was stable, and he had hope of winning the championship at one time.

So it is not surprising that three active Indy World Championships appear in the stands at the same time, which is equivalent to three drivers close to the F1 World Championship level. It is not surprising that watching another car event can cause such a crazy sensation.

I just don’t know if this was accidental or if there were events behind it. However, judging from the preparations for the reporters of the track media center to interview them, it is not an accident that these Indy kings should come to watch the US Grand Prix.

It was at this time that Leo, the design director in the repair station, handed over a pair of headphones and said to Zhang Yifei: "Fei, listen, they are talking about you."

Hearing Leo's words, Zhang Yifei brought his headphones, and the track FM inside was broadcasting the reporter's interview with the three Indy champions.

"Hello, Lei Qi, why did you come to watch this American Grand Prix today?"

Lei Qi has the title of double championship and is also the oldest and experienced among the Indy champions, so he became the first interviewee.

"This time, there are two Indy Series champion drivers, so I want to see what kind of sparks they can get in Formula One."

Indeed, the biggest highlight of this American Grand Prix is ​​the collision between the Indy King and the F1 champion, and there is more than one Indy annual champion on the court, which is indeed a rare scene.

"What do you think about their performance?"

"Both are good, especially Montoya is the first in two consecutive practice games, showing the strength of our Indy drivers!"

Lei Qi's words made American car fans in the track excited again.

"Yes, Indy will win!"

"This is the real strength of our Indy drivers!"

"Long live Indy!"

"What do you think of other drivers except the two Indy drivers?"

"The other drivers performed very well, especially Schumacher, who is really strong."

Drivers are all proud, especially if they want two different systems of Formula racing cars, Indy and F1, it is difficult for drivers who are also world champions to recognize their strength.

But Schumacher did it. Last year, he won the sub-station championship here, using his crushing strength to prove that he can adapt to any track.

As the strongest driver in the world today, Schumacher has surpassed the Indy or F1 category. As long as it is Formula Racing, Schumacher has the strength to become the absolute king, which is basically recognized by drivers around the world.

If time could be pushed forward a few years, when Schumacher put out the five championships and ninety sub-station champions, he would not even need to be recognized as the strongest. At that time, Schumacher was only worthy of his achievements as the title of the God of Cars.

Lei Qi's answer was reasonable, but this was obviously not the answer needed by the track reporter.

"Then how are you doing to the Chinese driver flying? He said before the race that he was stronger than the Indy driver!"

When this question came out, the atmosphere in the audience began to smell gunpowder. Everyone was looking forward to how this Indy champion responded to Zhang Yifei's provocation of Time magazine!

"Haha, I think there is no need for too much evaluation in the tenth ranking."

Lei Qi's face was still the previous smile, and his tone did not change much, but everyone could feel the mockery and contempt in his heart. Judging from the current track results, Zhang Yifei's previous crazy words were simply a joke!

At the same time, Blake, who was sitting next to him, also came over and said, "I heard that the Chinese driver Fei is only 18 years old this year, and is at the age of college. I hope that this American Grand Prix will give him a good lesson and let him learn what Indy racing is."

This sentence doesn't seem to be a big problem, but the problem lies in Blake's age. He is only 24 years old this year. Why do you use this educational tone to let Zhang Yifei study hard?

This clearly means not putting Zhang Yifei on the same level as him, and it is simply educating his younger generations!

"Then Helio, what do you think of driver flying?"

The reporter pointed the microphone at the youngest new champion Helio. He is only two years older than Zhang Yifei and is also the most eye-catching star on the Indy Track!

"There is nothing to say about the rookie. If he competes with me, he will not even be able to eat the exhaust."

Helio was in his youth and frivolous moment, and his words were not even tactful, and he could even directly attack Zhang Yifei.
