F1: Absolute Car Feel

Chapter 94 Wu Shi is definitely thinking of me (Fourth update)

During his time karting, he didn't have any contact with Bianchi, since they weren't in the same age group.

However, after becoming friends with Leclerc, he also got to know this outstanding driver through Lock & Lock's introduction.

At this moment, the driver is driving an F1 car, speeding along the track.

His growing unease made him realize that he should perhaps remind Lock & Lock, his mentor and friend.

Because of his leading position and his high level of familiarity with the Silverstone circuit, he was able to mechanically perform various operations while thinking about other things.

If there's any difference between him and someone who's seriously driving a race car, it's probably the difference in their spirituality.

"Ah!"

In the stands, Louise suddenly sneezed.

"Do you need a coat?" Ophelia asked.

“No need.” Louise rubbed her nose and said happily, “Wu Shi must be thinking of me.”

"???" Ophelia looked puzzled.

“He told me that where they live, sneezing means you’re thinking about someone, cursing, or catching a cold,” Louise said confidently. “I only sneezed once, so he must be thinking about me.”

"..." Ophelia didn't quite understand and said, "Is it possible that Aunt Martina misses you too?"

"!" Louise looked around like a cat with its fur standing on end, her senses urge to steal something strong, but she didn't see what was going on.

"Phew! Don't scare me!"

"Should we go find him after the match?" Ophelia asked.

Louise hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

“He’s come all this way and you don’t even say a few words. He won’t scold you,” Ophelia said.

The stands at Turn 5 of the track were packed with international students, many of whom were from China.

"Did you take a picture?" Zhang Guo asked her boyfriend.

“I took a picture. It’s car number 32. I take a picture every time it passes by.” Li Zhenmin nodded.

"Zhenmin, can you make me a copy later?" someone said from the side.

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

"It looks like Wu Shi is going to win another championship! Two consecutive championships, wow, what a talent from our China!" someone laughed loudly.

They were genuinely happy. They came from various university racing clubs or societies, and after experiencing the vibrant racing atmosphere abroad, they naturally started paying attention to various competitions.

Previously, they only watched top-level F1 or WRC races, but after seeing the news about Wu Shi yesterday, they immediately organized interested compatriots to buy tickets from others, determined to watch the race and get first-hand data from Wu Shi.

“Yes! But I probably won’t be able to go to Germany next,” Li Zhenmin said.

"Germany? Perfect timing, I just got a research project with my boss that allows me to go there on a business trip. It wouldn't hurt for me to go early and watch a match, right?" someone said cheerfully.

With the race in its penultimate lap, a gasp suddenly rang out from the track, and everyone looked over to see a car had slid off the track.

However, they didn't see this scene. Instead, they saw Verstappen, after ten laps of struggle, finally overtake Jordan King and move into fifth place!
As the race neared its end, and with vehicles sliding off the track and ending up in the gravel area at the edge of the track, far from the track, there were no yellow flags or safety cars.

"The race leader has emerged! Wu has once again taken the checkered flag with his extremely stable driving, and he has won another championship! As a rookie, he has already won two consecutive championships! It's incredible!"

"Behind him is O'Connor, who, as a second-year student, also received his place on the podium."

"Oh, the person who crashed over there is Oni."

"."

Wu Shi drove his car into the parking area of ​​the maintenance zone, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got off the race car.

After hugging the technicians, I gave Alan a fist bump.

"Congratulations on your second victory."

"Thank you." Wu Shi wiped his sweat. This victory was much easier than the first one. He spent almost the entire time thinking about things or chatting with Ai Lan.

Reporters flocked to the scene, a sight rarely seen at F3 races, many of whom came specifically to see Wu Shi, especially several media outlets from Italie.

Following the routine interviews, reporters published a variety of sensational headlines such as "Rising Star with Two Consecutive Victories" and "Will Chinese Prodigy Continue to Dominate F3 Racing?"

Meanwhile, on the Chinese internet, some netizens spontaneously sent video clips that circulated on social media.

But it didn't cause much of a stir, since racing still doesn't attract much attention. However, within the small racing circle, Wu Shi's name was already widely known.

He was unaware of his growing fame in China. After having dinner with his team members, he was about to rest when his phone rang.

Louise?

Didn't I just call yesterday?

Wu Shi answered the phone, "Hello, Louise."

"Um! That, I,"

"Huh? What's wrong?" Wu Shi realized something was wrong and asked, "Did you get into trouble again? Aunt Martina isn't so easy to deal with."

"No way! I don't cause trouble every day!"

Louise said angrily, but after she finished speaking, she realized that sneaking to Silverstone Circuit was also causing trouble.

Oh no! We've really messed up! It's all Ophelia's fault. If she hadn't made that call, none of this would have happened. But as soon as she made the call, she found out!
"I remember you skipped tutoring to go watch a game around Christmas, didn't you?"

After Wu Shi finished speaking, he thought for a moment and realized that Louise didn't seem to have any tutoring classes this weekend, so was that all right?
No, his intuition told him that something was wrong!
"Louise! You're not here to watch the game, are you?!"

"Huh?!" Louise was speechless.

Ophelia, standing next to her, was also surprised. Was this the familiar feeling of growing up with someone she had grown up with?

"You actually came all this way? Where are you now? I'm coming right away!" Wu Shi said helplessly, but also worried.

Don't be fooled by Yilin's current hype about the West; the security situation here is actually quite bad. For a teenager like Louise, traveling across borders is extremely dangerous.

“I…” Louise stammered again when the time came.

“We’re at the Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone,” Ophelia said, interrupting Louise’s hesitation.

"Oh dear! Ophelia!"

Hearing the voice on the microphone, Wu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. He was quite familiar with Ophelia, who was more cautious and sensible than Louise. It would be safer for the two of them to come together.

He greeted the team members, and upon hearing this, Alan immediately called a female mechanic to accompany him.

"Be careful, there's another match tomorrow. My advice is not to stay out overnight," Alan said meaningfully.

"."

Wu Shi didn't know how to put it. It was indeed more open here, and many people of his age had tasted the forbidden fruit. However, he was still deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture and was not so open-minded.

Upon arriving at the hotel, I found the door number and rang the doorbell.

After waiting for about ten seconds, the door opened, revealing a mature older woman whom Wu Shi had never seen before. He was somewhat taken aback, wondering if he had gone to the wrong place.

"You are Wu Shi?" Caroline asked.

"."

"Ha~ It seems so~! Just kidding. Come in, our champion driver." Caroline invited Wu Shi and the female mechanic to come in together.

"Thank you. My name is Wu Shi. May I ask how I should address you, sister?"

"Oh, I'm Ophelia's older sister, you can just call me Caroline."

　There's another chapter, which will be posted before midnight.
