When Zhang Yifei faced an interview at the F1 paddock last year, he challenged many top drivers, but never publicly challenged Schumacher.

No matter how the world or history changes, Schumacher is always the high-ranking car god in his heart, representing the car memories of an era. It was also with Schumacher's retirement that F1 seemed to usher in the end of the era. No matter how strong Hamilton in later generations is, he cannot find the feeling he had in the past.

With this youthful memory and respect in my heart, Zhang Yifei has always maintained restraint when dealing with Schumacher.

But the previous encounter in the backstage made Zhang Yifei understand that there are no idols on the track. No matter how much he admired and looked up to Schumacher, from now on, in order to win and the world champion, he and Schumacher can only become enemies!

Listening to Zhang Yifei's "declaration of war", Schumacher did not have any unexpected expression because he made this decision earlier than Zhang Yifei.

"Many people used to have this idea, but the person standing on the highest podium has always been me."

Schumacher did not face the anger of Helio's provocation, but replied in a very plain manner. Perhaps in his heart, Zhang Yifei is more qualified to be his opponent than Helio.

"I know, but it's time to change people this time."

"Then I'll wait for you to challenge."

Both of them were very plain, but the spark of the confrontation calmed the entire media center.

Many people began to have a premonition in their minds that this might be the beginning of the alternation between the old and the new in the f1 paddock.

Faced with the word "challenge" used by Schumacher, Zhang Yifei rarely refuted it. He once said that challenge is a word used by the weak against the strong, and for this reason he also triggered a conflict with Barrichello.

But this time, Zhang Yifei admitted that he was indeed a weak man when he stood in front of Schumacher and was not at the day he really defeated him!

What happened at the press conference shocked Masa and Sato, who participated for the first time, to surprise him. They never thought that a very ordinary pre-match press conference would turn into such a scene of a fairy battle.

At the same time, it was precisely because the "War of Gods" was too exciting that Masa and Sato became completely supporting roles. It was only when Zhang Yifei and Schumacher made some irrelevant choices that some reporters asked them some irrelevant questions.

The most tragic thing here is probably Masa. The newcomers who entered the F1 paddock as the world champion of f3000 are the focus of the media and can stand in the spotlight.

Just like the top scorer who passed the imperial examination in ancient China, the scene of entering the Hanlin Academy was similar. Even though he was just a little brother in his official position when he first entered the office, his halo was extremely eye-catching.

Now his f3000 halo is completely covered by Helio, and the newcomer's topic is not as good as the arrogant Chinese driver who flew last year, and his influence has dropped directly to the level of Taoism with Sato.

If it weren't for the winter test and qualifying competition, his results were far superior to ordinary new drivers, and he might not even be qualified to participate in the pre-opening press conference.

Without Helio's arrogance and without the "war" between Zhang Yifei and Schumacher, this pre-match press conference will naturally come to an end.

However, just as Zhang Yifei was about to get up and leave, the press conference host Leo stood in front of the media and said to all the reporters: "Dear media reporters, and the drivers in the seat, I have one last important thing to announce."

When they heard Leo's words, the reporters and drivers who were about to end the game could only return to their own positions and planned to hear what Leo was going to say.

"I believe many people already know that during the qualifying race, I had some discussions with my senior commentator Brendel, about the final ranking of Chinese drivers flying."

"At that time, I thought that Fei could not even run into the top five. If he could get the top three or pole position, then I would apologize to Fei for his shortcoming and contempt."

"Everyone knows the results of the competition. Fei became the pole driver of the first Singapore Grand Prix, so today I want to solemnly express my apology to Fei in front of all the media!"

After saying this, Leo turned around and pointed at the seat Zhang Yifei had been sitting in before, preparing to apologize to him and say sorry or something.

But at this moment, the reporters in the audience burst into laughter, because Zhang Yifei's seat was empty at this moment. Just when Leo was preparing to add a long story to him, he got up and left.

This drama artist is having a fight with him. If he really apologizes sincerely, the team repair station is on the first floor of the building. After the qualifying race, he can apologize to himself. Maybe Zhang Yifei would accept it at that time, after all, he is not that stingy.

Now I still want to hold myself to hype the news in front of so many media reporters. I’m sorry, I won’t be with you, brother, you can act slowly!

When he realized that Zhang Yifei had already left and his words were just wasting emotions and performances, Leo's face turned green in an instant. He never thought that Zhang Yifei would be so unpretentious that he would not even leave a line for being a human being in traditional Chinese etiquette.

Mainlander, remember it for me!

Leo roared hatefully in his heart, but at this time Zhang Yifei was already in the convoy repair station and could not see his hatred on his face.

But so what if you see it, what can you do to me?

In the maintenance station, the members of the strategy team stood together. Koser and Yamamoto Ukyo took a brief look at the track and determined the road moisture and water accumulation.

As mentioned before, the asphalt level in the street does not meet the level standards of the F1 track. More importantly, the rainwater penetration process on the road surface is much slower. Half an hour passed, and the scene of the track is half dry and half wet still has not improved much.

So Kosel finally decided that the first tire of this qualifying tournament would be changed from the previous soft tire to a semi-rain tire. However, the stoppage tactics were still maintained, and when the tires were changed into the station, the weather and road conditions would be determined whether to replace the soft tire or continue the rain tire.

Zhang Yifei made no sense for Kosel's final decision. He believed in Kosel's judgment and vision. Objectively speaking, as a pole driver, he has a great advantage in the Singapore Grand Prix, so there is no need to take any indifferent risks.

This has nothing to do with conservatism or cowardice. On the contrary, the upper limit is fixed on the sub-station championship and will never become a world champion.

Just as the crew members were preparing for the pre-race according to the team's strategy, they suddenly heard a voice: "I want to start with soft tires according to the previous strategy."

In a F1 team, only two drivers could say such words. Zhang Yifei had decided to follow the instructions of Cosel's team. Then, the only one who spoke now was naturally Alonso.

I saw him looking at Kosel, just like the stubbornness he had rejected Zhang Yifei's track test data before, he still stubbornly wanted to change his tire strategy according to his own ideas.

Cosel did not speak in the face of Alonso's opposition, and Prost, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't help but look angry on his face.

I have tolerated this Spanish boy once before, and now I have started to play a counter-tune with the team strategy. He is just a F1 newcomer. What kind of superstar player do you really treat yourself as? Are you qualified to bargain with the team?

"Alonso, this is the team's decision, and there is no room for negotiation with you."

Prost said this coldly with a stern face. If this guy is really disobedient, even if he performed well in the winter test and qualifying matches, Prost would have the idea of ​​changing him.

If you don’t have enough strength and achievements, don’t think you are too important and think you can bargain with the team!

When Alonso heard Prost's words, his face turned blue and red. He was not the world champion in later generations now, so he naturally had no confidence in speaking, and he had no arrogance.

Even if it was his own idea, Alonso had been hesitating for a long time, and he was about to execute it when the convoy was over. He couldn't help but say it.

When the head brother became a bb machine in the track, he won two world champions and said that no team could tolerate it. Who is spoiling him now?

"If I use a semi-rain tire, in my current ranking, it will be at most difficult to get on the podium, so I want to use a soft tire to play it!"

"Boss, I hope you can think about it."

Alonso spoke his reasons to Prost in a pleading tone.

He knew that the opponents on the track were very strong, and if he didn't fight this, it would be difficult for him to reach the podium or even the final champion.

Of course, he had another sentence in his mind, that is, he wanted to defeat Zhang Yifei and prove himself. If he used half-rain tires, Alonso did not have much confidence, because no one knew better than him that Zhang Yifei was powerful on the Singapore track!

"Try it? What do you use to fight? If you can enter the points zone, you will already meet the requirements of the team. Don't think about hitting the podium, pay attention to your positioning!"

Prost was also popular by Alonso's attitude of "being guilty" and so his words were strong, which could even be called a reprimand!

After all, Alonso had a criminal record of disobeying the team's instructions in Minardi before. Prost didn't want this kind of thing to happen to him, so he had to suppress Alonso's disobedience trend!

But at this moment, Kosel's voice sounded: "Okay, you can start with a soft tire."

"Kosel, you..."

Prost looked back at Cosel, but he didn't expect the other party to agree.

"I appreciate your idea of ​​hitting the podium, so do it."

Kosel gave a simple reason, which is in line with his usual radical character. He has never been afraid of the rider's crazy idea, but is afraid that the other party will not dare to think!

Seeing that Cosel had agreed, Prost didn't want to argue with this German madman, so he snorted coldly and stood beside him and didn't speak.

After getting the agreement, a hint of uncontrollable excitement appeared on Alonso's face, but soon he looked at Zhang Yifei standing next to the racing car, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
Chapter completed!
