576 King to King
It is not just Toyota teams that have this idea on the track, but also teams such as Renault, McLaren, and even Sauber and Jordan all feel a regret.
After all, Zhang Yifei is also an F1 driver. Even if he is from the perspective of the same camp, they don’t want the F1 driver to be trampled and humiliated by the Indy drivers.
But the saying of running the Indy Oval Raceway was said by Zhang Yifei himself. The words a man said were like nails nailed to a wooden board, one nailed at a glance, and there was no possibility of change.
Not to mention that there are still global live broadcasts and the testimony of 200,000 viewers on the track, Zhang Yifei has no way back.
At this moment, Indy newcomer Helio, who had not spoken, picked up the microphone and said in a cold tone: "You are not qualified to face the challenge."
Helio didn't even take it seriously as the seniors who were the Indy champions, and it was even more impossible to look down on Zhang Yifei. The more contempt he had to speak, the more contempt he had.
Zhang Yifei looked at the young face on the broadcast big screen, full of pride. He had asked Henry before, who would be stronger, the Indian champion or Montoyabi.
Henry's answer was Helio, because he, the new Indy champion, broke many records of Indy tracks and was called the strongest newcomer in history, so Zhang Yifei also had a bit of an impression of him.
"If you are not qualified to run the Indy Oval track, just say it, don't waste everyone's time."
Zhang Yifei has made infinite concessions. If the other party is unwilling to run away, it is destined to be a verbal shot.
Because Zhang Yifei will not run with them as long as he does not have a title.
Just kidding, I really think that Indy drivers can be in the same level as F1 drivers
The most powerful and cutting-edge Formula drivers in the world are always F1 drivers. Those cat and dog drivers in Indy are not worthy of running with me Zhang Yifei.
"I'm afraid of it."
Helio sneered, then looked away from Zhang Yifei and looked at a red figure in the back half of the float.
"If you want to challenge the Indy champion, you must at least send an equal driver. Do you dare to run with me and decide who is the final king of Formula Racing Schumacher."
"Wow"
When Helio called out Schumacher's name, the track was in an uproar. No one expected that the fuse of a Chinese boy would really turn into a war between the Indy King and the F1 champion.
That's right, King vs. King, only when F1's strongest driver Schumacher stands out, he deserves the three Indy World Champions. This is the biggest feast in the Formula world
"Crazy, is the Formula War about to begin?"
"I am worthy of being the strongest newcomer in Indy. Helio originally wanted to challenge Schumacher."
"Halio is a beautiful job, and this is the moment that really determines who is the strongest Formula driver"
"Schumacher, do you dare to take on the challenge of King Indy?"
"The Battle of the King"
A crazy scene was instantly caught on the track, and this unexpected joy was something that no one had expected before.
If Schumacher faces the challenge, today may become a historic moment. The decades-long dispute over the right to speak between local formulas and Formula One will have the first result.
When Zhang Yifei heard about Helio's challenge, he was a little surprised, but soon he realized that this Indy King was actually the same type of person as him.
Either don’t challenge, if you want to challenge, you have to choose the strongest driver
All the F1 drivers on the cruise float looked at Schumacher, the strongest driver in the F1 field, who has created a team dynasty. Will he accept the challenge of the Indy World Championship?
The track broadcast footage was also aimed at Schumacher, making the subtle expressions on his face clearly present in front of the audience.
The expression on Schumacher's face slowly began to rise from the previous indifference, and then he looked at Zhang Yifei on the float.
Looking at Schumacher's gaze, Zhang Yifei instantly knew the answer. He walked over and stood beside Schumacher and handed him the microphone.
"Little guy, do you know that the consequences of challenging the F1 championship are also serious"
Lei Qi had said this sentence to Zhang Yifei before, and now Schumacher has returned it to Helio almost intact.
On the Indianapolis track, the driver who is most qualified to say this is Schumacher, who is the real king of Formula racing at present
"Then let's go and let me feel what the consequences are."
A kind of fanatical excitement appeared on Helio's face, because Schumacher's answer was almost on the verge of confrontation.
Even if he is as arrogant as Helio, he has the opportunity to run with the strongest driver at present, and he feels that the opportunity is rare, and the fighting spirit in his heart is surging.
"It's a bit unfair to let Fei challenge you three by one. Since you want to decide who is the ultimate king of the equation, I'll satisfy you."
"Stay together, let you feel the true strength of the F1 drivers and feel my rule."
Schumacher decided the battle lightly and included Zhang Yifei. In other words, he would fight alongside Zhang Yifei and face three Indy World Champions on the Indianapolis Track.
When this sentence was said, the 200,000 spectators on the track exploded completely, and applause and cheer sounded like thunder.
This year happened to be 2000, at the turn of the century, a Formula Racing battle of the century and the 20-year dispute over the discourse between local formula and Formula One. Is it finally going to be concluded?
"I was so excited. I didn't expect that such a battle of the century would really happen in my lifetime."
"Come on, Indy champions, defeat the strongest driver of F1 Schumacher, and you will become the strongest people in Formula"
"Long live Indy"
"Long live America"
“aaa”
The crazy American slogans resounded neatly across the Indianapolis track, but Zhang Yifei looked at Schumacher's side face and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
He really didn't expect that Schumacher would eventually help him complete the last step in the counterattack.
Zhang Yifei even more unexpectedly, Helio was as arrogant as himself, and his goal was to hit Schumacher and not satisfied with his identity as the Indy champion.
The only thing Zhang Yifei expected was Schumacher's challenge.
After all, the God of Cars is the God of Cars. The strength, confidence and pride are all placed here, and no driver is allowed to provoke in front of him. Especially when the king is against the king, a victory or defeat must be decided.
Currently, there can only be one king in Formula racing, that is, I, Schumacher
Things have developed to this point, and any interviews on float parades are so boring in the face of Formula War.
So after a lap around the track, the pre-race parade ended early, and all drivers returned to the team repair station to prepare for the main race of the American Grand Prix. Formula War is just a continuation, and the American Grand Prix is the main dish today.
When entering the driver's passage, Zhang Yifei followed Schumacher, hesitated for a moment and said to him: "Thank you for helping me."
If Schumacher had not joined today, his "revenge" battle might have failed, because the possibility of three Indy champions collectively accompanying a F1 newcomer is very slim, and even if Zhang Yifei makes concessions, it is not enough.
"I'm just fighting for f1."
Schumacher did not admit that he helped Zhang Yifei, and he was unwilling to claim favors.
The situation has evolved to this day, and both sides are already very clear in their hearts that Zhang Yifei is just a pioneer. The real idea of the American Automobile Association and the Indy champion is to use the F1 drivers as stepping stones to prove their strength and ultimately expand their global influence.
After all, any competitive sports event is the strong. As long as the public thinks that Indy racing is stronger, they will eventually become a supporter of the Indy Series.
As the current leader in the F1 race, Schumacher is the ultimate goal, and it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter. However, due to the constraints of the team and the FIA, Schumacher could not express anything without giving a name to the other party.
Today, Helio openly challenged, and Schumacher still shrank and didn't stand up, so this kind of coward is not worthy of being called the God of Cars in the future
"I'm fighting for dignity."
Zhang Yifei replied lightly, then turned around and walked towards his convoy.
Looking at the back of the Chinese boy, Schumacher understood in his heart that he did have the idea of helping the Chinese boy, otherwise he would not have mentioned his name in his response.
Because of Zhang Yifei's counterattack on the float, he saw his unyielding courage and tenacious fighting spirit.
No matter how strong the opponent is, no matter how much pressure the hundreds of thousands of viewers bring, this kind of Chinese newcomer still chooses to fight, even if he challenges in the way he is most unfamiliar with.
After so many years of career, he rarely sees such tenacity in a newcomer, and he never expects that the other party is a Chinese driver.
Braves are all worthy of respect, and this kind of help is considered Schumacher's resonance for the brave.
When they returned to the fleet maintenance station, the crew members saw Zhang Yifei walking in. The expressions on their faces were very complicated. Because Zhang Yifei's actions on the float were tantamount to a suicide attack, fighting a war with almost no chance of victory for the sake of the dignity of himself and the Chinese drivers.
This kind of behavior is tragic, but history is written by the winner. As long as Zhang Yifei loses, no one will care about his tragic power and will only be portrayed as a person who is overestimating his ability to ridicule.
"I haven't even run away yet, I think I'll lose optimistic."
Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, but this did not drive the emotions of the crew members at all.
Because except for Cosel, Yamamoto Ukyo and Alaisi, no one else knew that he had prepared for the elliptical track on the simulator, so naturally pessimism dominated.
In their eyes, Zhang Yifei's smile is "forced smile".
But at this time, Kossel also walked out. Looking at the solemn expressions on the other people's faces, he directly scolded: "Don't you take it off so much, Schumacher has won, Indy champion is nothing."
