[Racing] King of Speed

Neil went back to the room and made some mental adjustments before he slept soundly. He got up for morning training the next day, and then went into the paddock.First ran a few laps with the original components and tires to adapt to the characteristics of the Mugello track, and then referred to the data of other cars, but the result is that the two cars of Sislera are still far ahead.

But this is not the meaning of this winter test. Sure enough, after a few long-distance tests, the new parts were put on the horse. When the two silver-purple racing cars of the Quinby team rushed onto the track, as soon as the camera was shown, Sislera People were shocked immediately!

Both Kinsey and Westbrook’s cars have been equipped with their newly developed double-layer rear spoiler during this period. From the angle of the fins to the position of the exhaust port, it is almost very similar to the design of Whitby Moore. No, it should be said It is exactly the same!

Nair saw Kinsey speeding past on the field, so he couldn't help slowing down, and followed him slowly. By the way, he took a closer look at the rear of the opponent's car. After two warm-up laps, Kinsey started to start Speeding circle.

After waiting for a while, Nair turned on the TR and asked Maier, "What was the lap time Kinsey did just now?"

Maia didn't make a sound for a long time, and after a while, he reported a result in a somewhat strange tone, and this result was 0.5 seconds faster than the fastest lap made by Nair just now.

Neil frowned, and drove the car back to room P. As soon as he entered the maintenance area, he saw Huibi Moore standing inside, staring at the display screen on the wall with a cold face, Joseph standing beside him, and the two They don't look too good.

Neil climbed out of the cabin and handed the helmet to the technician, and asked in a low voice, "What... is it?"

The technician shook his head with a bitter face, "Who knows, maybe it's just a copy."

Maier came over and said, "No one can be sure unless they can see the design drawings." But it is basically impossible to see the design drawings of other teams.

The atmosphere was very tense for a moment, and everyone turned their attention to the two persons in charge.

"It's not copied, it's mine." In the silence, Huibi Moore said slowly, his voice was very cold, and he looked at Joseph as he spoke, his eyes full of suppressed storms.

Joseph frowned tightly, obviously hesitating.

And Huibi was already angry, he pointed at the replay on the screen and laughed angrily, "Did you see this corner lock, is it familiar?"

Seeing this, Joseph's heart sank severely.I am familiar with it. This is a loophole in their double-layer rear wing. The accumulation of internal airflow will make the rear of the car overheated, causing some components to malfunction. At the same time, it will also consume the rear tires excessively, and there will be frequent locks on the ultra-high-speed track. The deadly situation happened, and the problem with Nair’s rear wing was one of the disadvantages of this design. Recently, Huibi has been working on improving this problem, but the overall design structure of the car has been finalized before the season. It doesn't mean that you can change it if you change it, but now, this problem is almost 100% copied to Quinby's car. If you say it was copied, it is copied too completely.

Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter, and they couldn't help but look at each other. If Du Cagne's level is used to imitate it, sooner or later, it must be different from Sislera's performance, and it will take more time to imitate it. It will take longer, and Huibi is confident that he can retain some of his advantages from being breached, but it will certainly not be the result of being stripped of his hole cards as he is now.

It's not that there are strong people in the Quinby team who can read minds, that is... someone in Sislera sold this core technology.In other words, there is... an insider in the convoy!

As soon as this shocking news got out, naturally there was an uproar in the paddock in no time!When everyone was still immersed in Quimby's sudden soaring terrifying speed and couldn't recover, they were told that the reason why Quimby improved so much was because he stole Sislera's technology! ?

At the moment, everyone's thoughts are different, some are filled with righteous indignation, some are dismissive, some are yelling loudly, and of course some have nothing to do with them, and the media who heard the news flocked to Mugello circuit, trying to dig out first-hand information.

What exactly was Sislera's slander?Or Quimby's unscrupulous methods?Will this turn into the biggest scandal in Formula [-] in recent years? !

Regarding this, both sides of the incident also have their own different attitudes. Sislera must be extremely upset. The press officer Page said indignantly to the media that they are currently collecting specific information and have filed an appeal with the FIA, which will be sorted out later. After that, a press conference will be held. He hopes that Quinby can give his team a good explanation, and asks whether their actions can be worthy of the history and heritage in F1 for so many years!

Sislera's team leader Joseph was also uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He put away his gentle attitude and publicly reprimanded Quimby for "blatant theft" and "despicable and unallowable means of competition" and should be deprived of the right to participate.

In this regard, Quimby was abnormally quiet. Their press officer said that they would not express any opinions until the matter was fully clarified. Since Sislera believed that they had stolen the technology, it would be handed over to the FIA ​​for trial. , They respect the credibility of the FIA ​​and the results of the trial.

This battle without gunpowder is bound to be unavoidable!

Originally a good test, such a sudden turning point made everyone lose the mood to continue research and development. Who knows if the FIA ​​will completely ban the use of double-layer rear spoilers because of this, they are wasting money and energy here. what to do?

The good journalists took turns asking the opinions of other teams in the paddock.Of course, there are a few people who are most worthy of attention. The management and designers of both parties will definitely not mention this, and there are two people who are usually so good that they can wear a pair of pants in the eyes of outsiders-Kinsey Sodenshane and Neil DeRosa.

The teams of the two sides are now in a mess, and they have also been involved in the center of the conflict. What do Kinsey and Nair think of this?

As soon as the incident happened, Neil was repeatedly taken care of by the team. His personal relationship with Kinsey is one thing, but the team's interests are another. If you don't want to cause any bad repercussions, it's best to keep silent at the moment , Of course, keep a distance from Jin Xi, so as not to let others have other guesses.

Although Nair felt that his relationship with Kinsey had nothing to do with this matter at all, he couldn't stand the team's brainwashing. Even Knox agreed with him to do this to avoid trouble. In desperation, he finally reluctantly nodded, As for the media who were chasing after him, Nair took all measures to avoid it, but he would not answer any questions until the results came out.

However, compared to Nair's hard work, Kinsey, who was asked to do the same, was not so easy to manipulate. When the test at Mugello came to the last day, most of the teams and drivers changed in these few days. It was time to express opinions in front of the camera, and the persistent reporter finally blocked Jin Xi at the airport in Florence, who was about to leave early due to business activities.

When this tall figure with blond hair appeared, the dormant reporters rushed towards him like a bull out of the fence. Even though Fariye had prepared a lot of bodyguards, he was almost collapsed by this posture. .

The reporter's questions were thrown like a cannonball.

"Sodenshahn, did you know about the team stealing technology early on? If you didn't know, what do you think about it now?"

"Who came up with this idea, and how did you get Sislera's core secrets?"

"Once the FIA ​​confirms this crime, the Quinby team will definitely be punished heavily. Are you worried about your future in the team?"

Faced with such stupid or nonsense questions, Jin Xi pretended he couldn't hear them all. However, seeing that he was about to walk into the boarding aisle, one of the reporters who had been stationed for two days finally yelled out of desperation. , "Soden Shane, you have such a good relationship with De Rosa of Sislera, does this theft have something to do with you?"

This made Kinsey stop his feet successfully, and he slowly turned his head to look at the reporter who spoke.

At the same time, the reporter also received sympathetic or surprised looks from all directions. Everyone felt like "Why don't you be a paparazzi if you are so tough?" The reporter swallowed, but tried to meet Jin Xi's gaze.

Jin Xi's expression was not angry at all, he just raised his eyebrows, as if he felt incredible that this guy could come up with such a unique insight, after thinking for a while, he couldn't help smiling and asked, "Do you think this thing is Neil's?" Did you tell me?" Nair told himself, and tell the team?

Kinsey pointed to his head, and asked again, "Is your head...okay?"

The reporter probably also felt that he was too stupid, but a good opportunity is ahead, let's put aside these shameless humiliation, he stabilized his emotions, and continued to ask, "Then... such a thing happened. It will definitely affect the friendship between you and De Rosa."

Kinsey continued to laugh, and the smile turned into joy, "What do you think?"

The media saw that this was the rhythm of letting go, and they couldn't help but let go of their courage and surrounded them again. After going back and forth, they found that Jin Xi would answer as long as there were questions about Neil Deloza, and all others would pretend to be deaf. Of course, if he actually said it, he didn't say it, but as long as he opened his mouth, the reporter would have something to write about.

It was a headache for Fariye to be on the side, but since he followed Kinsey, this guy has never been under his control, and the current situation is reasonable. Fortunately, Kinsey knows what to say and what not to say.

In the end, when the reporter asked Kinsey if he would be willing to drive such a sneak attack ambiguous car to chase the top scorer De Rosa in the following races, Kinsey tilted his head, and then used a quite He said with a deep smile, "The problem with the car is not within my control. I will drive whatever is given to me, but... no matter what method I use, I will catch up to Di Luo one day." Sa's."
