"Schumacher, can you hear the sound?"

Zhang Yifei asked Schumacher at the Ferrari repair station using racing headset.

The team engineers have actually been debugged many times in the past few days, and these two cars are also race cars of the Indy Penske team, so there is basically no problem with compatibility.

However, during the offseason, the track command center will not open the FM channel, and many staff members will not use radio communication, which will have little interference to the team voice system.

But now it is different. The 300,000 amazing spectators, various event communications and radios make the electromagnetic environment of the entire track very complex, which may affect the calls between racing cars and teams.

After all, this is the first time that Prost and Ferrari have joined forces. Neither side has any experience before, so they must test it a few more times to ensure that it is foolproof.

"No problem, very clear."

Schumacher's reply came from the other end of the headset, confirming that there was no problem with the call between the two racing cars.

At the same time, the fleet strategy teams in the maintenance station also made ok gestures, indicating that the crew members could also clearly hear the conversation between the two drivers.

"Okay, see you on the track."

“See you in the track.”

Neither Zhang Yifei nor Schumacher said much, because the relationship between the two people's "teammates" was very awkward this time.

In fact, after deciding to fight against the Indy King, Zhang Yifei and Schumacher did not have any idea of ​​fighting side by side. At most, they were closer than the Indy drivers, and the two were still opponents.

But soon the FIA ​​felt something was wrong, because the other party challenged Formula 1 in the name of the Indian local formula. The track was not a one-on-one challenge scenario, but three Indy drivers, fighting against two F1 drivers.

It is inevitable that there will be a joint force. Zhang Yifei and Schumacher are at a disadvantage in terms of number of players. If they still fight each other, they will definitely be defeated by the Indy drivers.

Even though the other party has not said to fight in the form of a team, in fact, this kind of camp distinction is inevitable.

So the FIA ​​and the American Automobile Association simply made it clear and went to the ultimate battle of Formula, and the drivers on both sides fought in a team. The FIA ​​originally wanted to join an F1 driver, such as Barrichello or Cooterhard, to form a fair three-on-three.

But this idea was rejected by Schumacher and Zhang Yifei at the same time, and the reasons were even the same. Not to mention two to three, even one to three, I can still win!

Being an enemy of the world has always been Zhang Yifei's racing philosophy. From beginning to end, he felt that a real strong man should treat all the drivers on the track as opponents.

The champion never wins someone or a team, but wins everyone on the track!

As for Schumacher's reason is even simpler. Do I need teammates?

To put it more exaggeratedly, even the best green leaf driver Barrichello is just a icing on the cake for the peak Schumacher, not a timely help.

His final points in recent years are basically nearly twice as high as the second driver! When the gap is the biggest, all the drivers behind him add up to a few tens of points higher than Schumacher.

In addition to Kimi Raikkonen, who was hit in 2003, posed a slight threat to Schumacher, Schumacher had no suspense and easily became the world champion for at least three years in five consecutive championships.

So Schumacher really doesn't think who he needs to rely on to win the competition. He can defeat everyone on any track. This is Schumacher's strength and confidence.

This is actually nothing. What is really amazing is that Schumacher thinks this way, but not many people think he is arrogant or arrogant, but take it for granted!

This shows how terrible his dominance at his peak was.

At 11:00 a.m., it was the time when this Formula event started. There was no pre-race press conference or float parade. It was simple like a play.

But at the edge of the track, there are thousands of media reporters filming and waiting. Not only the local media in the United States, America, Europe, Asia, and almost all media in the world came to report on this Formula event after the American Grand Prix.

Because the whole world knows that this Formula event may determine whose era will be after entering the twenty-first century!

At the same time, this year happened to be 2000. This war between Indian local formulas and Formula One was also determined to be the battle of the Formula One century!

"Fly, run well. If you win this game, you will be a new star in the car world!"

Henry said excitedly that the attention effect caused by this game was indeed beyond many previous expectations.

Three hundred thousand viewers, thousands of media reporters, and if the winner is not surprised, they will become the headlines of news media around the world tomorrow, and will even be named King of Formulas.

The only thing that feels a bit regretful is that Zhang Yifei is just a newcomer. With his qualifications and fame, he cannot afford the title of King of Formulas. But even so, Zhang Yifei will become an absolute new star in the racing industry, surpassing Villeneuve before!

After hearing this, Zhang Yifei smiled faintly. He did not attach much importance to fame and fortune in this game, but just wanted to respond to the previous ridicule and humiliation.

"Brother Fei, defeat the Indy Guys and let these 300,000 Americans see how powerful we Chinese drivers are!"

Ah Hu also cheered, saying that he didn't think about long-term fame and fortune, and he wanted a breath!

"I will. After today, no one has any capital to mock Chinese drivers as rookies."

Zhang Yifei replied firmly, "There are so many journalists and media on the scene, which means that the winner of this game will spread throughout the world."

Moreover, such a war of the century, its influence is no longer limited to the racing world. Like public news, many ordinary people who do not pay much attention to racing can also know that there are Chinese drivers in the world who are qualified to participate in the world's peak battle.

Just as Zhang Yifei said before, I have suffered a lot of cold eyes and ridicule along the way.

But this is a scene that drivers from weak racing countries will inevitably experience. It took the Japanese racing industry for fifty years to get rid of the image of being ridiculed by Europe and the United States.

The reason is that Japanese drivers are not strong enough, not strong enough to make Europe and the United States respect and surrender!

Zhang Yifei hopes that after himself, those Chinese drivers who have the opportunity to compete in top foreign automobile events will no longer be coldly looked down upon and ridiculed. For example, Chinese drivers can stand at the top and become the most powerful driver in the world!

"Come on, fly, to prove the Chinese driver!"

"Come on, for the honor of f1!"

"Fight for f1!"

Before Zhang Yifei started, the members of the crew also inspired Zhang Yifei very excitedly. In any case, everyone is a member of the F1 organization. As the world's most technological Formula Even the crystallization of the most cutting-edge technology of the human automobile industry, they have reason to be proud and proud.

Five penske racing cars drove out of the repair passage almost at the same time and entered the official track.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei is not unfamiliar with this journey, because he is shared with the F1 American Grand Prix, but the feeling is completely different.

After all, this is the first time that Zhang Yifei has actually driven an Indy car to the track, just like the first time he jumped from a kart to a Formula racing car at the Toyota Youth Training Base.

The strength of the brake accelerator, sitting vision, and driving experience are different from the previous JS53 racing cars. However, Zhang Yifei has no time to adapt. He must control these Indy racing cars in the shortest time.

Fortunately, at least the difficulty of controlling now is far lower than when Zhang Yifei first came into contact with Formula Racing.

Five racing cars drove onto the track, and the audience instantly went crazy. In recent years, the strongest drivers of Indy Racing have gathered here. They are the idols and prides of American Indycar fans!

"The time has come for Indy champions to defend their home glory!"

"Kill f1 and prove that you are the strongest drivers!"

"For Indy, for victory!"

"Indy will win, America will win, and glory will eventually belong to us!"

The engine noise and the wind are not so loud at this moment. Zhang Yifei could vaguely hear the shouts of the audience. Then, within the range of sight, the circumference stands were all black spectators and star-striped flags. An invisible momentum pressure began to cover Zhang Yifei.

Shocking, spectacular, and majestic! All the adjectives you can find can describe the scene Zhang Yifei saw at this moment.

Schumacher stopped beside Zhang Yifei at this moment, and happened to see that his eyes did not look firmly at the front of the track, but looked at the stands, so he spoke to him.

"What, haven't you seen this kind of scene? Be careful not to be scared and cried by the audience."

Hearing Schumacher's teasing voice, Zhang Yifei was shocked. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he replied with a calm smile: "After the game, it's not certain who cries."

"I'm so confident when driving an Indycar for the first time?"

"It's not the first time you've opened it."

Zhang Yifei did not place himself in the position of a weak man. There were no superstars or idols on the track, only enemies and opponents.

"Yes, then let these small characters behind you feel the strength of the F1 drivers later."

Schumacher admires Zhang Yifei's current attitude. Just as he said, a driver without personality cannot become a strong man.

Neither Senna, Schumacher, Alonso or Hamilton have ever been timid. Even Prost, who is known for his conservatism, is actually very unique.
