End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 189 Dark Horse?

The Salvadoran test driver believes the team should have addressed the car's handling issues well before the start of the season.Both drivers in El Salvador experienced varying degrees of driving "discomfort" in the cockpit, and he said the team's approach in this regard was too "official".

The manager of the Ice City team said that during the Monaco Grand Prix, in order to ensure that Stewart did not lose time after pitting, the team directly asked Baxter, who was in front of Stewart, to give up his position.Baxter once hinted at the special relationship between himself and the Ice City team after the game, and the Ice City manager directly confirmed this statement to a media outlet. "Yes, we use cross-team instructions." But as for more details, he declined to disclose: "This is how F1 works."

Dongsheng's racing car once again fell into the storm of being questioned.Before the topic of batteries came to an end, Leysen once again reported Dongsheng Racing's DRS violation.According to the F1 rule book, when the upper end plate of the DRS rear wing of the racing car is lifted, the distance between the upper end plate and the lower end plate must not exceed 65 mm, and the Leisen team believes that Dongsheng’s DRS design has exceeded this technical range.

The manager of the Leysen team said that Liberty Media must be more cautious in implementing the budget cap rule in the future.He believes that this rule will cause large-scale unemployment, so F1 should assume social responsibility.His suggestion is that the salaries of F1 drivers should be included in the rule book, because the salary of a single driver can be equivalent to hundreds of jobs.

"The implementation of the budget cap by the free media will definitely cause an uproar in the motor sports industry. In many countries, even the closure of a large supermarket can make news headlines, and F1 must take social responsibility for rule reform in this regard. Now the driver’s salary can reach up to 5000 million US dollars, how many jobs can this amount ensure? So I suggest that Liberty Media needs to do further research in this field.”

Thunder team manager said that the team will usher in the first major upgrade of the season during the Canadian race next week.The Thunder team failed to provide upgrades in Spain like other teams, but they firmly believe that the upgrade is so large that it can help Thunder get a place.

“Our improvements to the car will be very obvious, including upgrades to the front wing, floor panels and sidepod spoilers. We chose to delay this upgrade to Canada to give our development team more time. To You know, we have a smaller team right now, and we can't upgrade as fast as the big teams."

F1 tire suppliers announced three optional formulas for the Singapore Grand Prix on Thursday. Since Singapore is an ocean-going race after the summer break, compared with other events in continental Europe, the tire suppliers announced the schedule of this race in advance. formula.Three formulas, softest, extra soft and extra soft, will hit the streets of Marina Bay, put to the test by the scorching heat of Singapore.

The manager of the Xingjiao team showed great interest in the current Salvadoran driver Delacro.Since Baxter's lease contract for the next season is still undecided, the Pride team has been active in the driver market recently. "We haven't confirmed that Delacro will join the team, but I think he is the best choice for our team at the moment. I will add him to the driver's candidate ranks. I think he is in a very difficult situation at the moment. Maybe a good change." The environment can make him recover quickly. His talent and speed make us firmly believe that he is a big target for the future."

Because of Vergil's outstanding performance recently, the Leysin team consultant believes that Vergil will become a strong contender for the driver's championship this season.Although he is a few points behind in the standings, his two wins this season ensured his position.

"We will not be penalized for engine problems in Canada, but there will always be a few races in the future where we will be sent to the end for changing the engine. The strength of our car has been shown after the upgrade in Spain. He will be the championship contender this year. one of the

However, considering that the Leisen team is still inferior to Bingcheng and Dongsheng in terms of comprehensive strength, people believe that Virgil does not have the ability to finally challenge the world championship.

But Virgil believes that if he can win another victory before the summer break, he will become a dark horse to challenge for the annual championship this season. "I think after winning a championship, I will naturally think about whether I can challenge for the world championship." said Virgil, who has won two victories this season. "Although they are ahead of me by some points, we are still in the championship battle. Outsiders. It's not impossible to compete for a championship, but we're not at the top of the pack yet."

"But if we can get another win before the summer break, then maybe we have a chance to be a dark horse in the title race."

Vergil also said that due to Leysin racing, he will focus on accumulating podiums in the next few races.

Virgil, the winner of the previous race, suffered a power failure in the second half of the race.Although Virgil used his superb driving skills to bring home the victory, the car's power unit problem could not be solved after the race.Since only 2 sets of this part can be used throughout the season, and Virgil started his second set of parts as early as the China Grand Prix, it was inevitable to be punished.

The gold medal commentator of a well-known event said: "Vergil will definitely be fined and retired in Canada, but we don't know how much he will be fined yet, but he will accept at least 10 penalties in the next race."

Little Leysin driver Catildan has fallen into a trough in his career recently, but he always believes that his experience and performance in F1 competitions are no different from those in previous competitions.Catildan believes that his performance in the F1 race will attract more attention from the outside world, so the pressure he needs to bear will naturally be greater.

"Compared with driving other levels of cars, there is actually no obvious difference in the F1 race. But because we are three drivers fighting at the same time in the race, and coming to F1 needs to bear the whole process of pressure. The outside world and the media are focused on your performance. It will also make you feel unprecedented pressure. But the team's goals for me are changing all the time, and every week is a different situation."

The chairman of the F1 race believes that the new track that will be added to the F1 calendar must bring more exciting scenes to the F1 race before it can be recognized by the outside world.At the same time, he also hopes that these emerging competition venues can help F1 events build a broader global market, and eventually more and more giant cities will be added to the calendar.
