Dong Licheng restrained his urge to et with Chen Xiangbei and instructed the secretary standing outside the door to gather detailed information about Chen Xiangbei while weighing the impact of sponsorship.
Of course, Chen Xiangbei was unaware of these "capital" business considerations at the mont. He was more focused on enjoying the applause and cheers from the scene, savoring the glory of being a victor!
Just like that, Chen Xiangbei drove the racing car to the award area, which was already filled with enthusiastic fans celebrating and reporters waiting for interviews.
Among the crowd were also Chen Xiangbei’s team mbers.
"Brother Bei, you’re aweso! You’re the champion!"
A Yong saw Chen Xiangbei get out of the racing cockpit and imdiately shouted hoarsely.
The Super Dream Racing Team, under the banner of Brawn GP, was arguably the most miserable team in the competition, unable to even gather the most basic team mbers. Chen Xiangbei was forced to implent a "zero stop" strategy.
Yet, even in such a disadvantaged situation, Chen Xiangbei still won the championship. A Yong felt imnsely proud inside.
"No, we are the champions!"
Upon hearing A Yong’s shout, Chen Xiangbei imdiately replied with this sentence.
In terms of Formula racing events, this was not just a personal victory but also a result of the full cooperation of the team mbers.
"That’s right, we are the champions!"
Sawano Hiroyuki, Mizutani Sho, Liang Chi, and others almost simultaneously said this sentence, tears of excitent welling up in their eyes.
Even Odetto, who once scoffed at Chen Xiangbei’s performance in the Renault races, now had a gratified smile on his face.
The Chinese Kid accomplished the miracle of "skipping a grade"!
At this mont, Chen Xiangbei spread his arms and walked over to embrace the team mbers tightly.
After embracing all the way up to Dong Yuanxi, he paused, with his hands hovering in mid-air, unsure if their current relationship was suitable for such an intimate gesture.
Just as Chen Xiangbei hesitated, Dong Yuanxi had already thrown herself forward, wrapping her arms around his neck and shouting, "Xiangbei, today you let witness a miracle firsthand!"
As Dong Yuanxi said this, her heart couldn’t help but thump wildly. She didn’t even know why she was so excited.
Was it due to lingering impressions from childhood, or the performance of Chen Xiangbei on the track today, or perhaps she was influenced by the on-site atmosphere and emotions?
"Thank you."
Chen Xiangbei replied softly, then also embraced Dong Yuanxi.
Feeling the strength of the arms around her waist, Dong Yuanxi instantly understood the reason.
It was an emotional tremor from deep within the heart!
However, this hug lasted only a few seconds before reporters couldn’t hold back and pushed microphones towards them.
"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, first of all, congratulations on winning the Grand Prix F3 championship. Do you have anything to say right now?"
"Mr. Chen Xiangbei, winning the Grand Prix signifies that you’ve created a history in Chinese racing. Can you describe your feelings at this mont?"
"Driver Bei, according to track data, it’s your first ti participating in an F3 event. Can you tell the audience how you managed to win the championship?"
A barrage of questions ca rushing in, and to be honest, Chen Xiangbei didn’t know which one to answer first.
Just then, a microphone with the "Asahi Shimbun" label was handed to his mouth asking, "Xiangbei-kun, your career path so far is very similar to Japanese driver Sato Takuma. Do you think you can replicate his miracle of entering F1?"
Faced with this question, Chen Xiangbei took on the topic and replied sternly, "I will not replicate him."
What?
The on-site reporters displayed puzzled expressions upon hearing Chen Xiangbei’s answer.
Sato Takuma was hailed as a super genius of Asia, who created the miracle of entering F1 starting from basic karting at 19 within five years.
Doesn’t Chen Xiangbei want to beco an F1 driver?
"Rember, I will not replicate anyone’s miracle. I will only create my own history!"
Sato Takuma was indeed very talented, but he was not a target for Chen Xiangbei.
The miracle Chen Xiangbei wants to achieve is to beco a legend like Senna or Schumacher.
He will not be the second Sato Takuma of Asia; he will be the world’s first Chen Xiangbei!
"As expected of Chen Xiangbei, truly arrogant, doesn’t even care about Sato Takuma."
"Nonsense, Sato at most is an average F1 driver; of course, Chen Xiangbei wants to be the strongest!"
"Go for it, Chen Xiangbei, we’re still waiting to witness your entry into F1."
"A Chinese driver could not be any worse than others; you will only be the first Chen Xiangbei!"
The fans and the audience on-site did not mock Chen Xiangbei’s response.
On the contrary, they were thrilled hearing his answer, as this is the ambition and blood that a Chinese driver should have.
Such a scene unfolded not just because of the ho advantage but also because Chen Xiangbei achieved the results.
Competitive sports are like this; as long as you have results, it’s not re bragging.
When your strength reaches a point where there are no excuses to undermine or ridicule you, the feedback you receive is recognition and admiration!
Not to ntion the Chinese supporters at the scene, even the Japanese reporter from the Asahi Shimbun who asked the question showed no signs of dissatisfaction with Chen Xiangbei’s "arrogant" remarks.
The reason is simple: Sato Takuma took three years to win the Grand Prix F3 championship after starting karting.
Chen Xiangbei, however, only took a year!
The Chinese driver showcased a more extraordinary talent than Sato Takuma, and it’s normal for him not to be willing to beco a "replicator."
