Kurthard may never have imagined that this Finnish boy who was regarded as a care of his junior would challenge his position so quickly, and at the trough of his career.

If any other No. 2 driver did this, Coothard would not feel much. On the contrary, it felt normal. Because this is the survival rule of the f1 paddock. Those who can occupies the power and those who are weak will be destined to be eliminated soon, and there is no human touch to talk about.

Just like French veteran Alessi, even though he is a veteran of the team, he once helped the team through the most difficult period in order to dream of Prost's French team.

But when he couldn't keep up with the development of the team, he was about to leave. The apparent reason was that he was injured in a racing accident, but everyone knew the real reason very well.

Instead of embarrassing everyone then, it is better to leave some face for each other and leave with voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary voluntary volun

But Kurthard did not realize that he was not good enough, or in the entire F1 paddock, no one would think that last year's world runner-up was the last highlight of Kurthard's career.

So at this moment, Kuthard felt really heartbroken, and he felt "betrayal"!

Facing Coothard's incredible look, Kimi Raikkonen naturally knew the pain in the other party at this moment.

He lowered his head, did not look at Kurthard next to him, and then silently said, "I'm sorry, I want to win the championship."

There is often a line in old Hong Kong movies, that is, "I want to get ahead". Putting it in the f1 yard, it is the fundamental contradiction between the two drivers in the team. When the driver No. 2 wants to get ahead, the driver No. 1 is the hurdle that cannot be avoided.

No matter how much care Kimi Raikkonen has received from Kurthard, when he wants to truly become a Finnish Iceman, he must challenge Kurthard's position.

Historically, Kimi Raikkonen achieved his position one year later, because Kuthard had already shown a decline in form in 2002, and gave the Finnish Iceman a legitimate opportunity to go up, not as suddenly as today.

It was Kimi Raikkonen, who had gained the team's resources, who evolved into a complete Finnish Iceman, almost defeating the peak Schumacher and ended the record of five consecutive championships ahead of schedule.

With the changes in history, McLaren has been challenged by too many powerful newcomers this year, which has led to Kimi Raikkonen's time to take over. After all, if the top drivers can no longer be praised, it will be difficult for McLaren to gain a foothold in the Big Three in the future!

Kimi Raikkonen wants to get on the stage, in addition to his desire for victory and championship, he is also under tremendous pressure on this young Finnish driver.

Just like Montoya has the expectations of tens of millions of Colombian people, Barrichello inherits the plot of "Sena" by Brazilian fans. Kimi Raikkonen, the racing king of Finland, is responsible for inheriting the Finnish racing crown!

This year is his third year in the F1 paddock. In the past three years, Kimi Raikkonen has been facing the halo of a super newcomer with the "three-level jump", but it is as disappointing as "injuring Zhongyong".

If he can't achieve results this year, he may not be able to stay in McLaren next year. The young Finnish Iceman is actually on the verge of desperate situation. No matter how hard he can't bear to stab him, he has no choice!

When Kuthard heard Kimi's words "I want to win the championship", the shock and sharpness in his eyes dimmed. Because he thought of the Finnish world champion Mika Hakkinen, who directly chose to retire at the peak of his f1 world championship.

If it weren't for Mika Hakinen's retirement, Coothard might have been the position of the little brother in McLaren team and would have no day to make a comeback.

Time is turning, and now it is his turn to give way to this person who gave up.

"Kimmy, come on, for McLaren and to prove yourself!"

Coothard finally chose to bless him. After all, he was not a particularly selfish person. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to sacrifice himself to step on the brakes and die with Schumacher for the sake of Mika Hakkinen's world champion.

Since many things cannot be changed, we should accept reality, and at least there is still a favor. Maybe in the future, a newcomer like Kimi Raikkonen will appear in my country and need to be taken care of in the McLaren team.

Hearing Kurthard's words cheering, Kimi Raikkonen's body trembled slightly. He looked at Kurthard with gratitude, and then nodded solemnly.

This moment means that Kimi Raikkonen has finally completed his position, and the "Finnish Iceman" who exploded in history will soon appear on the track of F1!

On March 3, this is the main time of the Singapore Grand Prix. The official start of the competition will be at 8 pm, which corresponds to the afternoon in Europe. This will ensure the Grand Prix ratings as much as possible.

Although he didn't go to bed late yesterday, Zhang Yifei still followed his previous habit of getting up early, got up at seven o'clock to wash, and prepared to train after breakfast to maintain his condition and feel.

However, when he woke up and looked at the sky outside the window, he found that the weather in Singapore today was particularly gloomy, and the smell of a storm was about to come and wind filled the building.

During breakfast, the members of the train crew gathered in the hotel restaurant. Yamamoto Ukyo had obvious dark circles, but his mental state was pretty good. As soon as he saw Zhang Yifei coming, he immediately said excitedly: "Yifeijun, fortunately we made the rain battle registration last night, otherwise we might be caught off guard."

After saying this, Yamamoto Ukyo took a stack of data to Zhang Yifei, which showed the decline in grip during various tires in the face of rain wars, as well as various changes in cornering speeds in the rainy environment, etc.

Of course, the most important point is that the strategy of the Rain War team will also change. You may make the final decision based on the track's water accumulation and rainfall.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Zhang Yifei thanked Yamamoto Ukyo. He knew that this data could not be handled in a few hours, and might even take all night.

"This is what I should do, we will win the Singapore Grand Prix!"

Yamamoto Ukyo, who has always been conservative, shouted the slogan of winning at this time.

With sufficient preparations and the amazing rain fighting strength that Zhang Yifei had shown on the Sepang track before, if he had no confidence, it would be an insult to Zhang Yifei!

At this moment, Alonso also walked in, with a look of fatigue on his face. If nothing unexpected happened, he should have trained until very late last night and was ready to run a good result in the opening match.

With the same rain battle data, Yamamoto Ukyo also gave Alonso a copy. Alonso was obviously surprised by this preparation for the rain, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Yamamoto Ukyo.

After all, this is a brand new track, and all data can only be calculated by using formulas overnight based on the corner angle. This theoretical data may not be fully adapted to the track state, but at least let the drivers know where the limit speed of the rain battle cornering is.

After breakfast, Zhang Yifei and Alonso started simulator training. At this time, Zhang Yifei inadvertently glanced at Alonso's lap record on the screen and found that the fastest lap speed was 1 minute 44 seconds 807, which was less than 0.07 seconds from his pole position, and even surpassed Helio, who was ranked third before!

To be honest, Zhang Yifei knew that Alonso had amazing potential and knew that he was the champion of the Singapore track in history. On this difficult track to overtake, he completed the miracle of starting from the 15th pick in the qualifying competition and finally sprinting to the championship!

But Zhang Yifei really didn't expect that Alonso would make such amazing progress. It seems that the backwardness of the qualifying competition and the humiliation of the maintenance station really stimulated Alonso's self-esteem, and he began to show his talent on this track.

Perhaps feeling Zhang Yifei's gaze, Alonso turned his head and looked at him. After just a very cold look, he turned his eyes back to the screen of the simulator.

During the training before, Zhang Yifei and Alonso had no good relationship, but at least he could say a few simple words. In this state, it is obvious that there is a gap or even an opposition between the two!

Looking at Alonso's changes, Zhang Yifei suddenly felt a little uncertain. Is the "humiliation" he had in the repair station before, right or wrong.

Indeed, this method quickly squeezes out Alonso's potential, but the problem is that the relationship between the two is similar to that of the cold. If it is just indifference, Zhang Yifei can accept it. At worst, it is impossible for not fighting side by side on the track, and Alonso only needs to share the firepower.

But if the relationship is too bad, Zhang Yifei is really worried that Alonso puts the priority of dealing with himself than dealing with the enemy. In history, many N teams collided, which means that the competition among drivers No. 1 and No. 2 was too fierce.

However, since the matter has been done, Zhang Yifei will not regret it, nor will he think about easing the relationship or something.

If you really can't do it, just implement your original concept to the end, that is, to be enemies with the entire world on the track, including your teammates!

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Prost crew members went to the track maintenance station. The sky was gloomy in the morning, and it finally started to drizzle, adding to the changes in the evening race.

Although God is not good, the enthusiasm of the audience in the opening game today is extremely high. Even though there are still a few hours before the main race, there are already audiences waiting in the stands, hoping to see the drivers they support as soon as possible.

At the same time, the track media center also sent a notice that today's pre-match press conference will be attended by Schumacher, Zhang Yifei, Helio, Masa and Takuma Sato.

And the host of the pre-match press conference has also been confirmed, which is Singapore's event commentator Leo. It is said that he will publicly apologize to Zhang Yifei at the pre-match press conference.

"Fly, do you know what Leo is doing?"

Junko Takeda looked at the list of the opening ceremony and asked Zhang Yifei.

"Know."

Zhang Yifei nodded. After the qualifying match, Ah Hu's big mouth told him.

Zhang Yifei didn't even have any interest in dealing with this kind of thing. What is Leo's a cat or a dog? Do you need to care about what he thinks? As for the so-called apology, Zhang Yifei also felt that it was this Singaporean commentator who added a drama to him, so he was too lazy to deal with it.

"Do I need to give you a PR plan?"

This is an unexpected event. As Zhang Yifei's assistant, Junko Takeda's public relations plan to maintain the driver's image is also within her work scope.

In fact, when Yao Ming first entered the NBA, he was ridiculed by Charles Barkley, saying that Yao Ming could score 19 points in a single game, so he kissed the donkey's butt.

Later, Yao Ming proved himself and acted very generously after learning the news, saying that this did not affect his respect for Barkley, etc.

Many people praised Yao Ming for his high emotional intelligence, showing the magnanimity and temperament of the Chinese, and even put this as a public relations model.

Now, Zhang Yifei is also experiencing similar things in a sense, but it is more like a newcomer commentator trying to mess around.

"unnecessary."

Zhang Yifei waved his hand and didn't take it seriously because he didn't care what the outside world views him at all.

"Then how are you going to respond to his apology?"

“Not accepted.”

The three simple words are just like a saying in later generations: If apologizes is useful, what else should the police do?

If you apologize, you must be forgiven in order to show your generosity and kindness to the Chinese, then I'm sorry, Zhang Yifei doesn't have the hobby of suffering because he wants to be faced.
