[Racing] King of Speed

And Kinsey's meaningful words made headlines on the sports pages of many European countries the next day, while the Italian media was more supportive of Nair, saying that Sodenshahn was a real provocation. The competition among rookies is really cruel, and their local drivers will definitely not be beaten casually.

The German media, of course, supported their own son. They used an entire page to praise Quimby's young driver for his confidence and ambition, how aggressive and eye-catching the press conference was, etc. They also said that feng shui took turns, and that Quimby had bad luck in the past two years. Well, if they lost the championship by accident, they should be the ones this year. Even if the other small teams want to, it is impossible for them to eat a fat man in one bite.

As for the media in other countries, most of them are watching the excitement. One company even clearly listed the racing experience and award-winning records of Nair and Kinsey from childhood to adulthood, and compared them one by one, and even typed "'genius "A blood-red war letter among teenagers" is a slogan that fears that the world will not be chaotic.

In fact, every year before the start of the race, there is such a commotion. Faced with the disturbance from the outside world, everyone in the paddock is still more concerned about the substantive issues of the racing car.

Kinsey didn't arrive at the track until the last day of the first stage of the winter test. On the way back to the team after running today's mileage, Nair saw him leaning in front of the Motohouse and talking to Westbrook, another driver of Quimby.Neil walked over without turning his eyes, but someone called him over there.

"De Rosa." It wasn't Kinsey who spoke, but Westbrook. Seeing Neil stop, Westbrook waved to him.

Nair then walked over slowly, walked up to Westbrook and smiled at him, "Delosa, you are very good."

Since the three-day test, the first round of research and development of most teams has achieved initial results. Sislera ranked fifth among all teams, and Nair personally ranked seventh. Not very top, but the fastest among mid-range teams There are six cars from the three major teams in front, and from the perspective of lap times, Sislera did not have too much distance from the person in front, and the difference in the smallest lap was only 0.04 seconds.

Don’t look at only this little time, but it can reflect a lot of signs. For example, Huibi Moore’s excellent design can achieve such great results in just a few days. It is a new track for him, and it is impressive to have this achievement. For example, this year Sislera's aggressiveness, to compete with the three major teams, should not be just talk.

Hearing being praised, Neil blushed again. In fact, Neil was not very nervous when facing Westbrook. Apart from a strange encounter with Kinsey some time ago, the current official driver in the paddock, Neil I also had a few encounters with Westbrook.

Westbrook is 33 and four years old. He is from the same town as Nair and is also an Italian, but the other party debuted more than ten years earlier than him. So far, the big sponsors in Italy still stand on the side of Westbrook. Behind it, it is undeniable that Westbrook is naturally a very good driver, even though he has served as a foil for Rose, who retired last year, for five years, but after Rose left, with Westbrook's qualifications, he is also in the paddock. To be respected.

He has strength, but also lacks some luck. Over the years of his career, Westbrook has won six annual runner-ups and four team championships, but he himself has never been able to win the personal championship. In this new season this year, everyone Thought it might be his latest win.

Nair still respects this senior very much, he replied softly, "Thank you..."

Westbrook nodded, "Actually, I have had some contact with Huibi. He must have scolded you a lot. His temper is just a little straight. Don't take it to heart."

Westbrook’s words are really polite, but Whibe Moore’s temper is so straight. He would make sarcastic remarks at the beginning, and then speak poisonously later, but Neil or some technicians and engineers of the team still did not meet his ideal requirements. In other words, Huibi Moore has no scruples about directly throwing the table and throwing the bowl. In just a few days, everyone in the paddock knew that Sislera was almost trained to death by the design director. Dogs are the same.

Considering that Whitby Moore had stayed in Quinby for two years before, it is not surprising that Westbrook knew him, but the other party would specially ask Nell to come over to speak for Huiby, which was unexpected. There is no one in the driver who has a better temper than Westbrook." Such rumors are not groundless.

Neil just thought about it, but Kinsey on the other side spoke out, "Brook and Whibemore are just getting in touch and worry so much, I will have a good relationship with you in the future, and then I won't be afraid to walk sideways in the paddock gone."

Kinsey's joke naturally only made the other party laugh, Westbrook patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will block you if Du Cagne scolds you in the future."

After hearing this, Jinxi turned her head and patted Neil's hand, "Did you hear me, quickly recognize me as your brother, and follow me to have meat to eat."

And Neil's next look, as he expected, was so stunned that he didn't know how to react, which made Kinsey feel full of accomplishment, and the corners of his mouth were raised.He appeared this time with a new haircut. He cut his long blond hair very short and cut off his bangs. He looked much neater and fresher, but his peach eyes became more conspicuous, and his facial features also changed. It is more three-dimensional, and it seems to sparkle when you smile.

Although Kinsey arrived today, he did not take part in the race. It was Quinby's test driver who ran the lap. The test driver finally finished fifth. This result is a bit of a coincidence, and needs to be observed again.

Nair was released after being laughed at by them, and the first phase of the winter test has come to an end. After the team started to do a simple clean-up, they rushed back to the headquarters. After referring to the data obtained in the past three days , make some changes to the car and return to Jerez a week later.

It’s just a simple tidying up, but each family still has a lot of belongings. There are container trucks one by one. Every time the team travels, they can’t wait to bring the entire factory. Let’s talk about the room and the motohouse. The maintenance area of ​​the track is called Pit, and the pit lane is called Pitlane. As the name suggests, it is a place for assembling and improving racing cars. It is also a place for changing tires and refueling during the race. It is called P room for short.

Before the team moved in, the P room was actually a large empty room except for the necessary power system. It was as big as various communication instruments on the wall, one display after another, and as small as the light bulbs on the ceiling. The team brought them all the way from the headquarters. As for why, it’s not because you didn’t like the things you prepared. What if something goes wrong during the race?Here, no detail can be ignored.

Around the track, there are also mobile garages built by the team in one or two days, which look like a small two- or three-story mansion. This is the so-called MotoHouse (motorcycle room). The motorcycle room is used for meetings and rest for the team. , Organize data, eat and deal with reporters. There are the most luxurious office facilities and places for rest. Some teams will invite very famous top chefs to entertain all the staff in the paddock.Of course, there are other places for formal accommodation at night.

So when the team moved in, the track was full of voices and luxury, and when they all left in a swarm, the place where there was only an empty shell and skeleton was inevitably a bit depressed.
