[Racing] King of Speed

The FIA ​​quickly denied the question of whether it would give special preferential treatment to Quinby and Kinsey because of the sponsorship of "FLMN". What about the plan to let Westbrook continue to sit alone as the big brother?

Quimby naturally refuted it to the outside world. The official words are set in one set. What they say has always been to let the drivers compete fairly and advance together. Whoever can perform better can get more resources from the team, but the real Whether the result will be as smooth as they said, we have to wait for the game to see the outcome.

And this year's season hasn't even started yet, the news one after another has already attracted a lot of saliva.

When the pre-season test is about to come, some teams have started to hold new car presentations for the new season one after another.Naturally, Sislera chose Rome as the address, and announced their two racing cars codenamed XL-100 and XL-101 this year.

On that day, the big boss Klein personally attended the event, and Joseph and a group of people in charge also showed up at the press conference with Redding and Neil.This year's press conference has several times more reporters than in previous years. Although Sislera is still very low-key to the outside world and has not released any rhetoric about securing the three championships, their big investment and big moves in private are of course hidden. But everyone's eyes, and they also invited such a magic weapon as Whitby Moore, how could it not attract people's attention.

Of course, Huibi Moore also appeared as the supervisor of the technical team. He sat next to the big boss, but turned a blind eye to the reporters and various questions who frequently gave shots on both sides. The team also considered the boss's temper, No media questions were arranged, and professional technical questions were handed over to the chief engineer for detailed answers later.

However, Sislera gave Neil a difficult problem. Perhaps in order to train his communication skills from now on, Joseph chose Neil to stand on the stage as the introducer to explain the characteristics of this year's new XL car. But Nell was very anxious.

He has been unable to sleep well since the night before, and even ran to the toilet nervously before the press conference. Presumably it would not be so painful for him to drive a car with three wheels during the game. Embarrassed, Joseph was a little hesitant in the end, but in the end it was Knox who insisted on Neil playing more than him. Knox made him recite what Neil had to say, even if he was stuck After he got out of the shell, there are team leaders and others who can save him. This is a new beginning for Nair. In the future, he will take such a step one day. It is better to come early than to be late, and to be able to take the stage on such occasions against Nair My future popularity is also of great benefit.

The press conference started as scheduled, and Reading came to unveil the new car.The car designed by Whibe Moore not only runs fast and efficient, but also has a stylish appearance. The theme color of Sislera still maintains the apple green of previous years, but the sponsor logos on it have been completely new. Color, the whole car looks full of vitality, very youthful.

So, in a series of applause and praise, it soon came to the time when Neil needed to speak. When Joseph handed the microphone to him, Neil was in a daze for several seconds, from standing on this stage At the beginning, Neil's head was sweating non-stop, and his mind was completely empty. Not to mention the things Knox asked him to recite, he probably had difficulty even speaking normally.But at this moment, looking blankly at so many pairs of eyes off the court, and all kinds of shots with long guns and short guns, even ordinary people would be nervous, let alone Nair, who has a lot of obstacles.

In fact, Nair has faced such a scene before, that is, when he won the runner-up of the youngest F15 at the age of 3, it caused a big sensation in public opinion, and the media that surrounded him every day were also Wave after wave, Neil is always asked to express some feelings and speeches, etc., preferably with explosive points, and some people want to write about his past game experience, or ask him to appear on talk shows. As a result, the response is As soon as Nair saw them, he ran away without any concealment. The speed at which the soles of his feet were rubbed with oil was astonishing. Every time the reporters had no time to react, they could only watch the dust and smoke go away dumbly, thinking that they hadn't seen them. For such a timid person, he is not willing to give any superficial courtesy.

This is also one of the things worth mentioning in the monotonous experience of Neir.

So now, Nair is once again in the sight of everyone. He feels his heart beating like a drum, his face turns into a tomato, and he doesn't even know what to do with his hands and feet. After a "hmm...", he fell into dead silence again.

Joseph shook his head secretly, and couldn't help reminding, "Nair, can you tell everyone how this year's car is different from last year's."

Neil blinked, and finally choked out, "It's better than last year."

His appearance full of entanglement, embarrassment, and bewilderment actually pleased everyone in the audience, like a different sense of humor, which caused a lot of laughter in the audience. Seeing this, Joseph asked again, "What's so good about it?" open?"

Nair thought it was only then that he regained his train of thought. Looking at the [-]D simulation of the vehicle on the big screen, he said stiffly, "The engine has been changed... and the front wing has also been improved. We also have a new suspension system..." From stumbling He kept talking about the potholes, and sometimes he had to stop and think about it. No one interrupted him in the field. Everyone seemed to be listening very seriously. Joseph and Knox just sat silently on the sidelines and did not move any more. There were only flashing lights left in the arena.

Ten minutes later, Neil finally finished speaking, and the hair on his forehead was already wet with sweat. Knox was the first to applaud, followed by Joseph and the team members, and the media in the audience also gave their applause. Enthusiastic response.Huibi Moore still did not respond, but Klein nodded to Neil, indicating that he had worked very hard.

The new car launch event passed without any risk. Afterwards, sports media from all over the world reported on the event, but most of them focused on Sislera's racing car development and the development direction of this year's season. Some references to this new driver who is not good at words, but his comments are still very friendly, because there are too many drivers with personality in the paddock, and in comparison, Nair is absolutely harmless.

However, a local newspaper from Rome wrote a bit harshly. The comment was signed by a reporter named JP. He meant that he was surprised that Sislera would sign such a contract since he wanted to compete with the big teams. Drivers who can't tell clearly are obviously not in line with the goals they want to achieve, and it is estimated that their results in the coming year will not be much better.

Nair naturally wouldn't pay attention, and the team didn't bother to argue with this kind of person, and Knox was already very satisfied with Nair's performance that day. At least Nair had the mentality to change, and that was enough.

January passed, and as soon as February arrived, the most important pre-season test of the year was ushered in, that is, the winter test. The process of the pre-season test was similar to that of the mid-season test. They all chose a track for the team to conduct a test run. By the way Accepting the research and development results of the past two months can also evaluate the competition level of other teams, but the pre-season test is longer than the mid-season test, and the upgrade changes are also greater. The designer will use feedback from the track and drivers To continue to improve the car until the arrival of the first race of the season, and the results of the test almost determine whether the car can get good enough results in this year's competition.

Therefore, each team will naturally devote all their resources, just to collect more favorable data that can be adjusted.

The pre-season test time is divided into three stages, each with four days, and each stage is separated by about a week.The whole course was still in Spain, the first two sections were chosen at the Jerez track, and the last section, like the mid-season test, fell on the old classic Catalunya track.
