End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 255 Hockenheim
This idea has been opposed by many fans and teams.Among them, Altaïr believes that if all drivers can get points, F1 will lose part of its appeal.

"It has always been a difficult thing to get points in F1. Because the drivers who ran in front can get points, scoring is like a reward for hard work, and it should be a very important moment."

"I still remember when Anchi finished ninth in Monaco, people thought it was a miracle and one of the important moments in the history of F1. If everyone can get points, then F1 will lose its specialness and unique."

For the same topic, Porter leader did not agree or disagree.But the Italian admits the new system will be difficult to work out.

In a survey by the British media, 72% of fans believed that the top ten drivers should receive points, while only 11% of fans supported the idea of ​​points for finishing the race.

F1 has always been known for limiting the contact between drivers and fans, but after Liberty Media entered F1, the American consortium gradually released the restrictions on fans in the field, which means that fans can better communicate with drivers make contact.But former F1 driver Burke believes that F1 has gone so far in opening up that the importance of drivers will be reduced.

"I think it's a little bit more careful at this point because the drivers are still the heroes of our sport and should be hard to reach. So I think maybe we've gone a little too far in closing the distance. So we have to be careful. To avoid 'belitting' their worth."

The Yinhua team was disappointed with the need to design a new chassis for the 2019 season. The FIA ​​decided at the end of April to revise the F2103 technical regulations for the 1 season in an attempt to increase overtaking.And for teams like Yinhua, which generally renew their chassis every two years in order to save costs, this is a huge increase in cost, because Yinhua won't be able to use the current car in the 2103 season.

The team's technical director was very disappointed with this. "Unfortunately, in addition to the modifications to the chassis, there are also changes to the fuel regulations. Because the available fuel capacity has increased by 5 kilograms, this is one of the reasons why we have to redesign the car. This is disappointing because we hope to avoid redesigning the car. We designed the car, but unfortunately we couldn't stop it from happening."

Dongsheng young driver Vinazzi took part in two F2101 races in early 1 to replace the injured Rhein, and then tested new cars for Dongsheng, Porter and Ruijin.The 24-year-old driver will get another chance to play. He just completed another test on behalf of the team last month.This will also be the first time Vinazzi has driven an F1 car since May this year.

Endurance racing star Chioco believes that F1 events should have double standards for judging ordinary drivers and "crazy drivers" - crazy drivers like Wesley and Teslock should be heavily fined, while other drivers can be fined when they make mistakes Treat with tolerance.

"I think a driver's dark past should be remembered. In the case of Wesley, I've been calling him crazy online, because I realized it when we played against each other in the F3 era. I think a driver like him should be fined by the race every time he does something aggressive. The same goes for Tesrock, it's the only way to calm them down. However, a calmer driver like Kendrick makes mistakes Maybe we should be more lenient with him."

Porter driver Wesley believes that the rise of the Porter team in the 2102 season is directly related to the joining of the original Prey tire experts.This winter, the British specialist officially joined Porter and helped the team to a regular fourth place in this year's race.

"Obviously our car is stronger this year and it's become more stable. We've certainly improved a lot with the aero design, but I think it was the Brit who helped us make the biggest breakthrough. Protect the tires well and ensure the continuous performance of the tires in the race. The complexity of the tire supplier’s tires is beyond people’s imagination, and it is a great test for both the driver and the team. Among them, he will solve the difficult problems Helped us resolve it easily."

The technical director of the Salvador Racing Team left the popular Ice City in 2101 and returned to the Salvador Racing Team, taking over the vacancy left by his previous retirement.This year's Salvador car was his debut, but he has been humiliated by poor performances this season.

"We are currently facing this major challenge, which is also a huge test for me. From my many years of professional career until now, I have never worked for a bottom team, so I also need to keep learning more new things. knowledge to get back to where we want to be. If I could have made some changes last year, I would have done something different, but the priority right now is to help this team get back on track."

The team manager said that the team must confirm its driver lineup for 2103 as soon as possible.The current whereabouts of Baxter in the 2103 season is still related to whether Leysen driver Vergil will leave the team. Since the front end is on loan to Piaojiao, Piaojiao does not have the initiative. Therefore, Piaojiao team must find a suitable one in time. Substitute driver.

"We will now focus on two topics: one is Baxter's performance, and the other is how the Leysin team needs to solve their personnel problems. We have realized that Baxter will not be able to retain Baxter next season, so I as the team manager My job is to find a suitable reserve driver. I hope this matter can be done as soon as possible so that we can take the future into our own hands."

The German Grand Prix, the 11th race of the season, will kick off at the Hockenheimring.Bingcheng will play at home this weekend, they are eager to reverse the recent decline, but they will continue to be tested by Dongsheng and Leysen, especially Daniel, who also has the advantage of home this weekend, is still Bingcheng greatest threat.

The Hockenheimring is located about 20 kilometers west of Heidelberg and about 80 kilometers south of Frankfurt, Germany.Both it and Nürburgring used to be the venue for the F1 German Grand Prix, but Nurburgring has gradually faded out of the paddock in recent years, and Hockenheim is also ill-fated. They were excluded from F1 due to financial problems in previous seasons. In addition to the competition calendar, thanks to the efforts of many parties, it has been able to return smoothly in recent years.

The Hockenheim circuit was once known for its fast speed, and its long straights provided drivers with good overtaking opportunities.
