That person is, isn’t that Xia Yu!
Even sports reporters reporting on F1 events recognize Xia Yu's handsome face. After all, he is the youngest and most successful billionaire. He is a very popular topic in the news, but he is also unusually low-key.
A few days ago, Xia Yucai was ranked 14th on the Forbes Global Rich List. His presence at the F1 Chinese Grand Prix today is definitely big news.
What's the point of filming the Hammer car? I must interview him after a break.
"Hey, James, it's been a long time since we last met. Has President Kang Linsong come to China this time?"
Xia Yu greeted his old acquaintance James Ellison.
"Mr. Sherlock, President Kang Linsong is still in the country, but we have heard about you. Everyone, come over quickly. I want to introduce you to a genius."
James greeted his colleagues, including Mercedes team leader Toto Wolff and his namesake strategy director James Walls, both of whom are the soul of the team.
"Hello everyone, the game is about to start, I hope it won't waste your time!"
Xia Yu greeted everyone.
"Not at all. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sherlock."
Wolff and Xia Yu shook hands. The F1 paddock is a place of fame and fortune, but billionaires like Xia Yu are rare, not to mention that they have in-depth cooperation with the parent company.
"Today's game wasn't easy, I wish you victory."
Xia Yu wished sincerely.
He still prefers the Mercedes factory team. He originally bought Hamilton's 2017 championship car W08, and later asked old Conte to grind Nico Rosberg's 2016 W07.
I was too embarrassed to speak up for the past two years, so I only set my sights on W12 today.
The problem is that the W12 is not as fast as imagined. If Hamilton can win the race driving this "slow car", Xia Yu's collection will definitely have an additional W12 numbered 44.
"Thank you for your blessing. Lewis is preparing for the track tour. Otherwise, I would definitely let him meet you."
Not only Sir Liu, all the drivers are very busy at the moment. Before the main race there is the opening ceremony, and before the opening ceremony there is a driver's track parade.
"That's what drivers are like. If I weren't so rich, I would definitely be an F1 driver."
"I heard from the president that you're a very good driver. How about you become our Mercedes-Benz partner and represent us in the track parade?"
Wolf is a marketing genius. He wants to use Xia Yu's influence to further increase the popularity of the game. I believe that the people in FLA will also agree, especially since this is their home court.
"Wolf, your idea is great. What do you think, Mr. Sherlock? If you're willing, we can contact each other immediately."
James said to Xia Yu excitedly.
Two years ago, at the 2019 F1 Chinese Grand Prix, Zhou Guanyu, the Chinese person closest to F1, drove a Renault car for a pre-race parade.
Today, Renault has been renamed Alpine, and the little brother surnamed Zhou is no longer able to stand on the F1 stage like his former rivals Mick Schumacher and Yuki Tsunoda.
Technology is one aspect, and lack of sponsorship is another. Except for big teams like Mercedes-Benz and Red Bull, many small teams can get into the competition by spending money. After all, their victory would be like an upset. It would be better to sell the driver's quota at a good price. It doesn't matter who drives!
If Zhou Guanyu can get an F1 driver's license, Xia Yu will definitely be willing to sponsor him a place to realize his own unfulfilled wish.
"Old Xia, what do you say?"
Ji Yang asked Xia Yu from the side.
If he had such a good opportunity, he would definitely be willing to take it, but he has nothing to do with Mercedes-Benz, so Xia Yu has to do it.
"I'd like to run for a bit, but I don't have a car!"
Xia Yu spread his hands. It would not be appropriate to drive another team's car at this time. His two Mercedes-Benz championship cars were both on Kana Island, unless he opened a space gate to get them.
"Mr. Sherlock, don't worry about that. We brought the W11 for testing this time, and it's just right for use."
There are no spare cars in F1 now, but many teams still use previous generation cars to run some data for different tracks.
"That's fine, I feel fine now."
Xia Yu agreed with a smile.
W11 was Mercedes-Benz’s championship car last year. Now that you have made the trip to China, why not stay here?
Everyone was busy contacting the organizer, unaware of his little plan. W11 was also pulled out of the P room and ready to go on the track at any time.
The reporters were confused. They saw people from the Mercedes-Benz factory team chatting with Xia Yu, and then Xia Yu disappeared into the P room. In the blink of an eye, a driver wearing a team uniform and a helmet came out.
Hamilton?
Or Valtteri?
No, these two people went to the racetrack for a tour, taking photos and being interviewed there!
Just when they were confused, Xia Yu sat in the cockpit of the W11 and began to familiarize himself with the car.
The appearance of the F1 car is beyond words, and the silver-gray-green color scheme of the Mercedes-Benz is also classic enough. Xia Yu will drive it past in front of tens of thousands of people.
This was a grand occasion. Xia Yu had only given speeches in front of a few thousand people at most. Now, tens of thousands of people were watching him in person, and tens of millions were watching him on TV. It felt very different, unreal and unreal.
"Dear fans, today we welcome a special friend who loves the sport of F1 as much as we do..."
The announcer's pleasant voice sounded on the broadcast of the previous game, and the noise in the stands suddenly died down. They were also curious about who this person was.
"Like many of our fellow drivers, he possessed immense talent in F1, but fate led him down the path of entrepreneurship..."
