[Racing] King of Speed

This year's season has passed halfway, currently the leader in the driver standings is the veteran Ross of the Quinby team, and the No. 2 is Kaiser of the Oga team. There is still a gap between the top two points and the top two. Even if there are six or seven races in the future, but the conditions of the car and the driver are there, it is not very possible to completely counterattack, so the latter part of the season The focus of attention is still on Rose and Kaiser.

After each year's competition, the International Automobile Federation (abbreviation: FIA) will distribute corresponding bonuses to each team and driver according to the points they have obtained during the year. Income from tickets, advertisements, sponsors, etc., the lower the ranking, the less money the team will have, but as long as they earn more or less points, they can still earn something. The podium is also the reason for finishing the race so hard and improving the car.

And some teams with unsatisfactory performance have shifted part of their goals to next year's research and development at this time, and there is an additional data collection in the running race to prepare for next year. Do they need to absorb a better team? The driver has also become the first element that the major teams need to consider.

After the Italian Grand Prix, the race returned to Asia from the European track. Various news about the technical direction of the team next year and the transfer of many drivers began to increase one after another, most of which were reported by the media themselves. Whether it is true or false can only be judged by the audience themselves.

However, the most important one is the old driver Rose of the Quinby team who has a very championship advantage this year. Whether he wins the championship or not, he will retire after the end of this season and completely complete his career in Formula One. first-line career.

Afterwards, it was also personally admitted by Ross. After everyone sighed and regretted, another question immediately emerged, that is, who can take over Ross's driver's position next? !At present, the most likely is that their No. 4 driver - last year's driver No.[-], Westbrook, who is also very good, will replace Rose's No. [-] position, and then recruit a new No. [-] driver from another team , but the candidate for the second driver is very interesting.

As one of the best big teams, Quinby has countless eyes staring at them fiercely every year, and how many rookie drivers dream of becoming one of them. Yayu once made great progress, almost as if he flew from the flat ground to the foot of the throne, as long as he tried harder to touch the golden crown, he could touch it.

As a result, various media outlets moved after hearing the news, some analyzed, some interviewed and pulled news, and some opened polls to ask the audience's opinions. There were different opinions for a while, and it was very lively, but the names that were mentioned the most were the other two of the three major teams. One is the No. [-] driver of the Satika team and last year's champion, Garnett, the other is Kaiser of the Oga team, and two very bright newcomers, Greg of the Soska team Here, Sodenshahn of Hinzermann Racing.

Needless to say, the advantages of old drivers are experienced, skilled, and reliable at critical moments. Moreover, Garnett and Kaiser are both from big teams, and their working styles will be faster. If they want to achieve results quickly, they The two are very safe choices.

But big teams often have their own considerations. "Teammate" is a very delicate word in the paddock. It stands to reason that they should fight side by side and help each other, but often at critical moments, it is the easiest to tear you down. But often the person who is supposed to be very close is also the teammate.Although there are so-called No. [-] and No. [-] drivers, there is no clear stipulation that whoever is No. [-] and who is No. [-] should cooperate with whoever is in the race. No. [-] and No. [-] are just the difference between the paddock and the audience. That's all.And the Europeans just like to play tricks on the surface. They don't want to make an unfair attitude. Even if they are blunt, they have to say that all their drivers are treated equally. Which one has better results this year? He is the so-called "No. [-] driver". However, things can't be that simple. Once something goes wrong, the facts will always make everyone burnt out.

The lessons learned over the years are too numerous to list. There is almost no team without a history of team-mates fighting against each other. Some even have internal strife to the point of giving away all the team championships and driver championships they have won. It is only because the competition here is really It's too cruel, where there is no real brother on the battlefield, I gave you the opportunity, and I'm an ass, in the end, whoever has the best data is the boss.

Therefore, for the big teams that are closer to the championship, they must think of this point, and the Quinby team has always insisted on implementing this principle to the end.Instead of finding two very strong drivers as teammates, planting the fuse of the competition, and being unable to distinguish between the primary and secondary at the critical moment, it is better to decide which driver is the core of the team from the beginning, and all the final He should give priority to using good kits and equipment. When the time comes, let the other one help if it helps, and just don't make trouble if it doesn't help.This is how they treated Rose and Westbrook before. Rose's qualifications are there, and Westbrook dare not mess around. Now that Rose is gone, they have to find someone who dare not mess with Westbrook.

After so many years in the paddock, Garnett and Kaiser, who want to win the championship, will definitely not be willing to be a foil, so many people are more optimistic about Gregory and Sodenshane. Newcomers are always more obedient , and it is easier to control, it is impossible to compete with the big brother when he first came, and he will do what the general team asks him to do. Although he has less experience, the conflicts will be reduced accordingly.And if you plant it by your side for two more years, it will grow. If it grows well, it will be kept, and if it does not grow well, it will be replaced.

This is the so-called management philosophy, full of helplessness and darkness, but all the drivers know it well, of course Kinsey knows it too, so when asked by the media if he wants to go there, and he is willing to take second place, he just laughed He said, of course he hopes to go to Quimby, because it is so attractive.As for first or second, he did not answer directly, but said that he still has a lot to learn from Westbrook, and he will seize this opportunity.

Things are going on in the paddock, and the dark tide is also surging outside the paddock. This week, I came to the Lion City of Singapore, which was the only night battle of the year. All the Neil people were there, but they were called back to Italy by a phone call.

Sislera is an Italian team. Its main R&D factory is in a small town outside Rome, and the big boss usually lives and works in Milan, the economic center.Knox originally wanted Nair to dress up before attending, but time was short, so now Nair is still wearing the team uniform and sitting in the boss's office in Milan, waiting for him to summon.The team uniform is a lovely apple green, full of vigor, and wearing it on Nair's body shows his youthful and immature temperament.

After a while, two people walked in. The one in front was a young man in his 30s, with a standard European body shape and appearance, brown hair and blue eyes, and a dry face. The one in the back was an old man in his 60s. He is short, in good spirits, and has a ruddy complexion.

Neil saw the person in front first, and couldn't help straightening his back, holding the hem of his trousers, and stood up stiffly, as if hesitating whether he should say hello, but when he saw the old man who followed in, after being surprised, his face turned pale. There was a smile.
