[Racing] King of Speed

Before the two broke up, Neil almost got a shameless wolf kiss from someone again, but fortunately this time he had a better understanding, as soon as Kinsey came over, Neil punched at the same time, but this time Because of precautions, the subordinates knew the severity, and the force of hitting the opponent's stomach was still within the acceptable range.

But Kinsey still held his stomach and yelled twice in a pretentious way, and then he squatted on the ground and looked at Nair with a smile, and then waited for Nair to pull him. The intimacy tastes like Neil and him really have an extraordinary relationship.In the past, Kinsey had a premonition that threats would be at least a bit defensive, but now he is becoming more and more unable to fight back, and sometimes deliberately puts on a provocative posture, fearing that Neil will not get serious with him, but Neil also He wasn't stupid, he knew that if he really hurt Jin Xi, he would have fallen into the other party's trick. He had a premonition that Jin Xi would have a hundred ways to prevent him from paying off the debt.

When Nair got home, the more he thought about the situation, the more uncomfortable he felt, but he felt helpless, and...he wasn't sure if he really didn't want to.It's obvious that it hasn't been fully thought out yet, but the reality seems to be subtly moving in an uncontrollable direction...

Two weeks later is the Monaco Grand Prix. Like the Catalan circuit, [-]% of the wins at the Monte Carlo circuit are in qualifying. The streets are extremely narrow and there are very few overtaking points. According to the previous situation Looking at it, many people in the industry said that it is estimated that the two companies that opened the plug-in will support the scene.

In fact, in the past ten days, the FIA ​​had some clues, but after Quinby submitted some design drawings, the situation became unclear again.According to people familiar with the matter, Quinby's thing seems to have been designed before the season. If this evidence is proved to be effective, then the result of stealing technology is obviously not established.

Sislera resolutely denied this. He felt that it was impossible for their designers not to recognize their own work. If they lost the final judgment, they would really question the fairness of it.

There was a lot of quarrel here, but it did not affect the use of the double-layer rear wing in the game. When the qualifying match in Monaco came, everyone saw that the other two were still full of righteous indignation a few days ago. The middle and lower reaches of the middle- and lower-tier teams silently took out an upgraded aerodynamic kit, the focus of which is naturally the rear wing. Although the structure cannot be 100% similar to that of the external team, it is at least [-]% simulated. , and it is absolutely impossible to rush out of work recently. It should have started research and development before the winter test. Obviously Satika and Oga have never been reconciled to such a backwardness that has no power to fight back. Even if they spend money, even if they compare Banning the FIA ​​after this double spoiler would at least make them more competitive.

It's just that their behavior made the previous indignation of the two teams and the rhetoric of "treating everyone equally" seem like a joke.

I don’t need to mention how this move caused a group of middle and lower teams to rebound. Anyway, the paddock is messy enough now, so it’s not bad for Satika and Oga to make another shot.

After the qualifying race in Monaco, it also proved the guess of most people in the outside world. The pole position is Weiss, and the second is Kinsey. In the race, it was only sixth. Garnett, who brought a new kit, was fourth, Kaiser was fifth, Pilzer'ao and Fren ranked eighth and ninth respectively.

Although Quimby and Sislera are still dominant in the rankings, the gap with Satika and Oga has been narrowed by about 0.3 or 0.4 seconds. Of course, this is in line with the characteristics of the slow track in Monaco. It's also related, the horsepower is small, and it can't be pulled up no matter how fast it is.

The weather on the weekend was good, and the main race was also a sunny day. Except for a little turmoil at the beginning and the end of the whole race, the rest of the race was a bit boring.

At the start, Neil tried to chase Kinsey, and he almost succeeded, because Kinsey gave up the best inside lane when he passed his teammate, but Weiss' defense was very fierce, and Kinsey didn't pass , and even used the strategy of delaying the brakes to avoid being hit by the wall led by Weiss. He changed the rhythm so much that Neil almost went head-on to his ass. Fortunately, he avoided it at a critical moment, but he also missed the last Good opportunity to go above and beyond.

Afterwards, everyone ran according to this kind of qualifying. Even if they wanted to move forward, they could not succeed due to the characteristics of the track.After one stop, two more stops came.There was a safety car in the middle, and it was the last few small teams who collided in the U-shaped turn, but the dull atmosphere did not change. Once the safety car entered, everyone still ran as they wanted, because the competitive They are all in the front, and the speed is decreasing in the same way as the ranking. Even using Undercut is not very effective, and even the commentator will fall asleep while talking. In the end, he can only use the driver's gossip to attract the audience and not turn the channel. up.

Like Fran recently had a daughter, like Garnett bought a diamond-encrusted yacht, or Kinsey seems to have broken up with his girlfriend, which is why she hasn't come to the paddock lately, or whatever. .

No way, you can't require all the games to be exciting, and drivers are more anxious than anyone else not to overtake.

At the end of the race, there was a little ups and downs. What happened was Garnett, who has always been stable. He probably got a little confused when he was running. He almost hit the wall in the corner. Kaiser, who had been defending for nearly an hour and a half, was overtaken. Then, everyone ended this boring game that could not be ignored with this ranking.

The top three and the start remain unchanged, Weiss, Kinsey, and Nair are all old faces on the podium.

After the award ceremony and the interview, Kinsey turned to Nile, meaning: When I called, Nile nodded intuitively, but after agreeing, she suddenly regretted it. I couldn't help cheering up 12 points, lest something strange happen again.

I went back to the motorcycle room to take a shower, and when I came out, I met Maia. Most of the car crews would take advantage of it when they came to Monaco. After the team was packed, they had to go out to Hapi Hapi. I asked Neil if he was interested. , Nair hesitated for a while, but still refused. Maier knew his character and didn't ask too much. He just patted Nair on the shoulder and said that he would tell others for him, and Nair expressed his gratitude.

When I got back to the lounge, my phone kept flashing. I picked it up and saw that there were three missed calls, all pointing to the same person. Before I could think about it, the phone rang again, and the name was still displayed on the screen, Neil After staring at it for a while, I slowly picked it up.

Jin Xi's smiling voice sounded from the other end, "Well, we finally got through."

Nair felt a little guilty, "I just... went to take a shower."

"It's okay." Jin Xi's tone was still relaxed. "I called to say sorry to you. I wanted to invite you to dinner, but the team held a temporary party to celebrate, and I couldn't leave."

Nair understands that when the two drivers finish the race with the championship and the runner-up, the general teams always have to express it, even if it is themselves, they cannot shirk it.

"okay."

Jin Xi snorted softly, "I seem to hear your voice of relief."

Neil's face turned red when he was told about the central matter, but his mouth instinctively wanted to refute, Kinsey had already interrupted him, "But I can deal with those people soon, if you really want to have dinner with me, you can do it anytime, anywhere You can call me, and I’ll be there if you tell me.” After speaking, he laughed unscrupulously again, “Alright then, I’ll go first, don’t miss me too much.”

Neil gritted his teeth, clenched and released his fists, feeling the urge to punch out, but he was helpless and clumsy. He had no choice but to face that person through the phone, and when he was about to hang up fiercely, Jin Xi spoke again, but this time the tone seemed a little subtle.

He said, "Nel... I gave you time to think it over, not to let you run away from me, you know, I'm not slow, I have good stamina, don't believe me, we can compare Bi, it's just... the premise is that you must be able to parry."

With a "beep", the other end of the conversation cut off the phone quickly. Nair looked at the darkened screen and did not move for a while.

After regaining consciousness, he packed his backpack, called a taxi and went back to the hotel by himself. When he got to the room, he collapsed on the bed with his head covered and dozed off, but he couldn't sleep at all and could only jump up and watch TV again.

He has no one to discuss this matter, and no one can make a decision for him. He can only ponder a little bit by himself, but Neil can also vaguely know that if he didn't care about it, he wouldn't be so difficult to make a decision, which is obviously rare. good friend isn't it?It was obvious that we were very relaxed together before, but how did it become such a complicated situation now.

The TV screen was changed unconsciously, and when a familiar face appeared in it, the fingers holding the remote control suddenly stopped.

This is the one-on-one interview I did in Italy during the winter break not long ago, and one of them talked about the one he has the best relationship with in the paddock.

"Enemy and friend", that's how the host described their relationship at the time. They were rivals in the arena and friends in life. They were obviously two people with such different personalities, but somehow they became closer and closer. With such a scarcity of circles, it is very rare for someone willing to share, but why does a well-informed person like Jin Xi feel that he is special.

Nair also stumbled on TV to express the doubts he once had, and now he has not found a specific answer, but the question has gradually become less important with Kinsey's attitude.

He actually remembered what he said at that time. There were a lot of emotions from the heart, but he didn't describe it too gorgeously. He just expressed his impression of Jin Xi purely. Maybe it was different from the person many people felt, but Kinsey is such a trustworthy and invincible brave in his heart.

Nair had an impression of these words, but he didn't know that he would have such an expression when he said these words.
