Is it because of dignity? Is it because of the sense of crisis due to the poor results in the previous races? Or because of love
In the applause of the audience, the driver of Caterham, who had been surpassed by Hunter, was surpassed by him for the second time in this race!
The long-slack string was tightened again, and the energy was released at the moment when it was about to break.
In the end, Hunter crossed the finish line in eighth place.
This result was like a miracle for the audience and for the Marcus team.
When Hunter drove the car back to the pits, everyone gathered around.
"You're really good! It's so fucking awesome!"
"It's so ups and downs! My heart is about to burst!"
At this time, Hunter was at a loss.
When Marcus hugged him, Hunter asked: "Who is the champion of this station?"
"It's Vann Winston! According to the statistics collected this time, Winston and Jaws Shire have a total of 12 corner battles! It can be said that Winston has played at the highest level since he entered Formula One. !"
They thought Hunter just wanted to know the result of the game, but they didn't expect him to burst into tears.
"Hey! Hunter, what's the matter with you?"
"No... nothing..." Hunter raised his hand to wipe away his tears.
So stupid, why are you crying
"What's wrong? Hunter?"
Marcus didn't seem happy at all to find Hunter this way.
"I'm not reconciled... Mr. Marcus, I'm not reconciled..."
Hunter bowed his head.
He has obviously worked hard, he has given everything, but he still failed to make the top six.
Last race he was sixth and Winston was second and they seemed to be very close.
But this time, Winston made it to the top, but he fell further afield.
Even if Rome can't be built in a day, when will you be able to achieve what Winston calls "the next corner"
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Every setback for Hunter in this race may have been given up for the rest of the racers. Whether it was the fuel pump during qualifying, or the tire rupture at the most critical moment in the race... He seemed to have no idea why he gave up, breaking through their expectations and rushing to places they couldn't imagine.
But at this time, this little devil was so lost.
Marcus sighed and pressed Hunter's head into his arms.
"Boy, you're still too young. Whether it's life or the track, it's the same. We lose some, and then we gain more."
Hunter wiped away his tears and sniffed hard.
"Mr. Marcus, chicken soup for the soul or something... It really doesn't make any sense at all."
"Ah... well. I thought I could comfort you." Marcus shrugged. "Have fun, Hunter. You were bottom and probably didn't even finish the race, but now you've got points. already."
"I'm thirsty," said Hunter sullenly.
"Hurry up! Drink water! Replenish electrolytes!"
"I'm still hungry..."
"Eat! Get protein and energy!"
Anyway, as long as this kid doesn't cry anymore!
The game is followed by a media conference.
"I don't want to go," Hunter mumbled as he ate his cheeseburger.
"Why?" Marcus sat beside him, looking at the kid with his head down, still looking very disappointed.
"You know, I can say bad things when I'm nervous."
Marcus rolled his eyes: "Do you think I'm stupid? You have a problem with your fuel pump in qualifying, why didn't I see you nervous? The tire blew in the race, why didn't I see you nervous? You are the only one in this race. Four-stop driver, this is a record! And you are also the player with the most overtaking times in this race!"
"I do not want to go."
The media can be modest if they interview Winston or "Jaws" Shire. It can also be sharp and unforgiving, such as interviewing him.
He didn't want to answer the question of whether the ranking was lucky or unfortunate at all, and he didn't want to analyze his mental process of continuing to race when the tire blew was about to be lapped by other players.
He knows exactly what he is really chasing, but when he says it now, everyone will think that he is too ambitious and ridiculous.
"Then keep looking sad and let me and the PR manager answer questions."
"You want me to make a vase?" Hunter asked, tilting his head.
"What? Don't want to make a vase?" Marcus asked hilariously.
"...let's make vases."
At this time, a staff member sent a large bouquet of flowers to Hunter: "Hey! You're lucky boy!"
"Ah?" Hunter foolishly took it and opened the card on it. Hunter was slightly taken aback by the name.
"Look, you finally have a fan in Formula 1!"
Hunt handed the card to Marcus: "Why did she send me flowers? Is it consolation?"
When Marcus saw the name, he was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Hunter hard: "Stinky boy, you are lucky! Audrey Wilson sent you flowers, which shows that she is optimistic about you! The promising players have all become the top drivers in Formula One! Such as Winston, Donald and Duchovny!"
Hunter blinked, he still remembered watching Winston's post-match interview in front of the computer, and envious of such beautiful women as Audrey Wilson surrounding Winston!
"No! We've got to make you look handsome! Do you want a makeup artist to cover up the little freckles on your face? It's so childish!"
Hunter has a black line on his face. He is not going to appear in a movie to cover up his freckles...
"Wait, don't cover it up! That's it! Audrey Wilson likes your unrefined innocence!"
… unrefined innocence
Are you sure this is complimenting me
"Marcus, don't bother... Audrey is a die-hard fan of Winston. Winston won the championship. She must give priority to interviewing Winston!"
"Right… "
Before the postgame interview, Hunter went to the bathroom, where he ran into McGrady.
Maddie's face was cold, which made Hunter a little worried that this guy was going to be ashamed in this bathroom or something.
But think about it, if I didn't get the top six in the substation, even if I was laughed at by McGrady, there was nothing I could do. Who wants to make a big bet with Maddie
"Hey, Maddie—" Hunter waved to Maddie with a bright smile.
Maddie looked at Hunter coolly before speaking for a long time.
"Before I was angry at why you didn't fully implement the team's strategy, even if you helped me hold Duchovny for a tenth of a second... But now I really want to beat you."
"I'm sorry... We are always fighting like this, Mr. Marcus can't bear it... Otherwise, I'll go out and buy you a bottle of drink now, you can drink it quickly, and when you feel the urge to urinate... "
"But I still hate you now. Because you obviously have more ability than Duchovny, so what are you doing in the first three races? Warming up? Or games? Every one of us, whether we have talent or not, regards our own ranking as a priority. For everything, every point is the blood and sweat of an entire team, do you understand?" McGrady looked into Hunter's eyes and said word by word.
"I see." Hunter nodded. "If I overtake you in the Austrian race, don't hate me."
Maddie paused, glanced at Hunter with extremely annoyed eyes, and walked out of the bathroom.
Hunter thought for a while, but stuck his head out of his pocket and looked at Maddie: "Hey! Don't you really need me to buy you a drink? I won't resist today, you won't have a chance after today!"
Maddie didn't look back, just pointed her middle finger.
"He doesn't beat me... I'm not used to it..." Hunter felt a little regretful.
It looks like Maddie won't bother him anymore, this guy is actually not that annoying, just serious. Because I am serious, I can't get used to myself who is not serious.
But at this time, why is it still so uncomfortable in my heart
Probably because Winston was so sure he could finish in the top six...
When the media conference started, Winston was really the focus, and the whole space seemed to be crowded out.
His expression was always flat, as if no matter what the media asked, it had nothing to do with him. Only the team manager and the PR manager responded to the reporter's question and answer, and forced a smile of pain and happiness.
"Winston, which overtaking impressed you the most in this race?" Audrey Wilson got up and asked.
Everyone thought he would answer that it was his final lap with Jaws Shire, but Winston said: "It was Marcus' Hunter who passed two opponents in a lap after a puncture."
"Have you watched the video of the game?" Audrey Wilson was a little surprised, after all, the game ended shortly after.
Winston just gave a "um", then raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said something to the public relations manager beside him.
The public relations manager apologized to the reporters at the scene: "I'm sorry, Winston has something very important to leave first."
Winston stood up, nodding to the media, and there was a kind of arrogance that belonged to a king in his humility.
At this time, Hunter lowered his head with a disappointed and uncomfortable expression on his face. Originally a little childish face, now looks a bit pitiful.
"Hunter, this time you experienced a fuel pump problem in qualifying and a tire blowout in the race, but you have always shown a very strong trend of overtaking, is the team putting more pressure on you, or are you right? Your own expectations? Because your first three races were mediocre!"
The author has something to say: Salted egg time:
Hunter: Winston! What was the most memorable overtaking in your life
Winston: It's very deep when I fuck you, does that count
Hunter: …
