Professional racing driver forced to debut

"You did a good job, don't blame yourself." Fabian patted Lan Heng's shoulder.

Next door to Don's pits happens to be Mescon, and there's a lot of celebration going on next door.

The top three drivers were embraced on the podium and sprayed champagne, and the team staff in the audience smiled and waved their hands.The audience howled and cheered, and the music was deafening.

Jian Xing looked at Lan Heng and said, "Let's go in."

To get good results, the car has to be reliable.

But Jian Xing's racing car had a problem, but they couldn't find the source of the problem, which was a big trouble.

No driver can gallop around when the performance of the car is out of order. Motor sports is not only a competition between drivers, but also a competition among racing technologies.

The team held a small meeting, and the core personnel gathered together. There was an electronic screen in front of it, and various data were displayed on it.

"According to various data, there is no problem with the car, but there is indeed a problem with Jian Xing's car." Fabian said slowly, "So our key now is to find out the problem before next week's race. , and resolve it.”

In the next stop in Malaysia, all the equipment and racing parts of the team have been packed in containers and transported to the new event location.

Recalling the feelings on the track, Jian Xing said: "It was fine at the start, but after halfway through, the car vibrated violently. It was almost uncontrollable, and I had to hold the steering wheel firmly to stabilize it. I couldn't go full speed at all. Going forward, just keeping it under control is hard enough."

"The data from the practice session the day before yesterday showed that we have indeed upgraded your car this time. In addition, parts have also been replaced, but what we are currently unable to determine is what went wrong."

In the silence, Lan Heng also expressed his situation: "There is a vibration, but it is not obvious."

His sight hit Lan Heng like multiple rays of light, and Fabian asked in surprise, "Your racing car also vibrates?"

"Yes," Lan Heng nodded slightly, "It's still within the control range."

"The car was fine during practice and qualifying, but why did it go wrong when it came to the race?" This is the crux of the problem.

But this is not impossible. The practice race is mainly to improve the performance of the car, the qualifying race is to squeeze out the speed and make a lap time, and the race requires the driver to go all out to mobilize the performance of the car.

It really cannot be compared.

Now I have to mention this matter, Jian Xing said: "As early as the winter test, I felt a slight vibration of the car. But the magnitude was so small that it was almost negligible. I thought it was my own illusion, so I didn't Tell you about it."

Jian Xing's perception of racing cars is extremely sensitive, even reaching a terrifying level.Jian Xing thought it was because of his irrational worries, or because he was too worried.

Coupled with the occasional amplitude of this little bit, like a breeze, even Jian Xing himself is not sure whether this is real or not.

This is a big trouble. Fabian supported his forehead and said, "We will solve this problem, don't worry. During this period of time, we should carry out physical training well, and we will definitely be able to achieve good results in the next competition."

When Jian Xing and Lan Heng were about to leave, Fabian knocked on the table: "In the evening, the hotel of the Ricodriel team held a party and invited all the drivers to go together. You will go, right?"

After each race, the team usually holds a party to celebrate.Even if you don't get good grades, you can use alcohol and food to boost morale.

Since Don's team announced its entry into F1, many companies have chosen to sponsor it, so the team's budget is fairly reasonable.Fabian originally planned to withdraw part of the funds to drive away the dark clouded atmosphere of the team.

Now that Ricodriel has invited them, they can use other people's venues to have their own team's party.Moreover, Fabian can also take the opportunity to inquire about other convoys.

Jian Xing said: "Of course."

Although there are three giant teams, only Ricodry can be called a top giant.Under it, Mesken has been in trouble all the way because of Cameron's joining, and Rick Derry seems to have slipped down, which makes the championship full of suspense.

In the opening game of the new season, the two drivers of Ricodry won the first (25 points) and fourth (12 points) rankings, and the two drivers of Mesken won the second (18 points) and sixth ( 8 points).

The Ricodry team has a total of 37 points, the Mescon team has a total of 26 points, and the third-ranked Fentiman team has a total of 21 points.

只有前十的车手才能获得积分，按照No.1往后的次序，积分分别是25、18、15、12、10、8、6、4、2、1。

It is a pity that the total points of the Don team are 0, and there are two other teams with 0 points.

When they arrived at the privately-booked hotel in Rickolde, luxury could be seen everywhere.

The magnificent hall is furnished with exquisite and dazzling chandeliers hanging from the top.The oversized garden at the rear is even more exaggerated. The flashing light belt stretches like emerald green on the distant mountains. Delicate and delicious food can be seen everywhere, and of course intoxicating drinks are indispensable.

At the same time, there are also the car logo of Rick Deli and the logos of various sponsors.Once here, it gives people an illusion, as if this is not a party, but a large open-air commercial evening.

When Fang Nuozhe saw it, he wowed at the first moment: "Rick Deli is too rich, isn't he? Just booked out such a big hotel?"

Fabian said with a smile: "Ricodry has always been rich and powerful, and he is also very willing to invest in the research and development of racing cars, so they can build such a fast Mars rover. But this year Rickoldely reduced R&D expenditure, but chose to make corrections on the basis of last year's racing car .”

The so-called Mars rover is what car fans call a racing car with superior performance.

Since there is a Mars rover, there is also an earth rover, and the huge gap between the racing cars is pointed out in a joking way.

Since Jian Xing and the others arrived relatively late, the other team members in the garden have basically arrived at this moment.

Ricodri also suddenly recalled that there was such a team in the paddock, so he hurriedly came to invite him, hoping to make amends.It can also be seen from this point that Don has no sense of presence in the paddock.

Fabian met an old acquaintance in the Le Mans team, so he hurried to catch up with the front team, trying to find out the enemy's situation.

Jian Xing and the others are still wandering around, although the game is over, they can indulge themselves appropriately.But Jian Xing can tolerate his own appetite, so try to choose healthy foods with relatively low calories.

"Jane!"

There was a shout from behind, Fang Nuozhe looked sideways, and saw a person rushing towards him, so frightened that he immediately dodged to the side.Before Jian Xing had time to turn around, he was pulled into his arms by Lan Heng.

Miller Snow was caught in the air, and was caught by his brother again. He looked at Jian Xing in front of him in a daze, blinked, and struggled: "Brother, let me go. I am no longer a child Yes, you will make people laugh if you grab me like this in public."

Garcia Snow let go of Miller's collar, took a step sideways, and said calmly, "Then you should stop doing things that make people laugh."

"What did I do? Do you think I'm ashamed? Brother, do you think I'm ashamed?" Miller stared at Garcia incredulously, and then said angrily, "Even if you think I'm ashamed, I'm still you Brother. What did I do wrong? I just want to get on good terms with all the drivers, you idiot won't understand."

After Miller finished speaking, he approached Jian Xing affectionately.

Canadians have enthusiasm in their bones, and Miller found Jian Xing extremely interesting at first glance.He picked up two glasses of wine and handed one to Jian Xing: "Your teammate actually won the No.11 ranking in the Grand Prix for the first time! It's too amazing!"

This is a sincere compliment, and Miller really felt that Lan Heng's performance was beyond expectations.

The corner of Jian Xing's mouth twitched indistinctly: "Thank you, he will continue to work hard."

Just about to take a symbolic sip of the wine, Lan Heng took it naturally, and when Jian Xing looked sideways, Lan Heng had already drank the wine.

Garcia obviously saw that Jian Xing and Lan Heng were not the type to deal with people, and it was obvious that his younger brother was brazen enough to strike up a conversation, so he didn't bother to care about it.

Garcia walked to the other side and chatted with other drivers about the recent situation, and looked behind Miller from time to time.

Behind Miller, Cameron's face was horrified and aggrieved, angry and unbelievable.It is rare to see such a wonderful expression on this arrogant and arrogant face at the same time.

Cameron has been waiting on the side for a long time. It can be seen that Miller has no intention of leaving. They seem to be having a happy conversation.This made Cameron finally unbearable, and rushed forward with a dark face.

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Miller was almost scared out of his wits.Seeing Cameron, he ran like a rabbit, and hurriedly slipped behind Garcia to seek shelter.

Cameron's eyes could almost breathe fire: "You have a good relationship with this trash thing?"

Jian Xing glanced at him and said, "It's okay."

Cameron was terribly confused, and when he saw Lan Heng, he got goosebumps again.He subconsciously stepped back, keeping a safe distance all the time.

Cameron was relieved when he was sure that the distance would not go wrong: "You pay so much attention to the game, you should know that Miller is nothing but trouble and trouble."

"You can only make trouble. To be honest, I have never seen such a narrow-minded man like you." Miller poked his head halfway behind Garcia and shouted, "You can talk about last season until this season, endlessly. Pay it back. Listen to me, you are an eighth woman!"

Cameron was furious when he heard this, and his anger could almost lift the cover of his sky.

"Is this small-minded? Don't you fucking stand and talk without back pain. What you knocked away was my podium, my Country Y Grand Prix. If you are so generous, then you are at the Montreal Circuit (Canadian Grand Prix) ) knocked Garcia's podium away." Cameron sneered.

The grievances between the two started from last season. Cameron was from country Y, and the sub-station at that time was in country Y.

Coming to the Country Y Grand Prix as a driver from Country Y is equivalent to coming to your own home field.Most of the people in the auditorium were from country Y, and almost all of them came for Cameron.

In the case of deafening voices and support, Cameron certainly hopes that he can make good results as much as possible to repay the fans.In one's own country, in one's own home field, this belief in wanting to win will continue to strengthen.

Under this strong belief, Cameron has indeed made excellent results.Starting from pole position (the first grid order), galloping all the way is like flying.On his way to being one step away from the podium, the stumbling block Miller North appeared.

Miller North was two laps behind Cameron. Logically speaking, the slow car should give way to the fast car and should not hinder the fast car from making achievements.

Because Miller did not give up the car in time, the accident occurred, which also meant that Cameron missed the championship at home.

Cameron stared at Jian Xing closely, and said again: "You know that?"

Looking at each other for a moment, Jian Xing said: "I know."

The tone is flat and indifferent.Obviously only said two words, but Cameron tasted the meaning of another sentence.

——So what if you know.

The cynical teasing between the eyebrows completely dissipated, and he looked at Jian Xing for a moment as if he was looking at the goods, and then the corners of his mouth curled up into a sneering arc.

"What do cowards like you know?" Cameron mocked, "You'd better fix your broken car. The bottom ranking is really laughing out loud."

The open-air party was going on frantically, and Cameron blended into the middle of the dancing group without waiting for Jian Xing's answer.

Cameron was an entertainer by nature, and soon he was at the center of the dance, with men and women forming circles around Cameron.Rough Spanish music is playing in my ears, and various lights are intertwined like shadows in the night wind.

Jian Xingjian turned his head and said, "You want to dance too?"

Lan Heng withdrew his gaze: "I don't want to."

Ladies' skirts fluttered with the dance, and men's shirts bulged in the wind.The smell of sweat, tobacco, and perfume mixed into a strange smell. Without anyone noticing, the two left the back garden full of crowds.

The music was still loud, but it was far away from the center of the crowd, which made the stimulation of the eardrums less intense.

In front is the artificial lake, under the moonlight the surface of the lake is sparkling, with bright stars floating.

There are only two people around, so this is the best time to do some shady things.Just as Jian Xing was about to stretch out his evil little hand, a call from behind made Jian Xing's soul freeze into stone.

Jian Xing and Lan Heng turned around at the same time, this is a refined middle-aged man, the years have not left too many marks on his face.Just like the subtle textures on the sculpture, a few irregular wrinkles give the other party just the right sense of gentleman.

Samuel Lee looked at Lan Heng a little surprised, he smiled to say hello, and then focused on Jian Xing.

Samuel said: "I have never had a chance to say hello to you before, and I have been looking for you for a long time tonight, and finally I see you."

Jian Xing paused for a moment, with a strange expression on his face: "Looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you." Samuel said happily, "I thought it would be next year to see you in the paddock, you are always unexpected. Is your mother okay?"

"Very good." After finishing speaking, Jian Xing realized a very important thing, "Do you have a relationship?"

"Once in the past, but not often." Samuel smiled. "As a mother, it is natural to care about your children. When you came to Ricodley, your mother never let go of her heart."

Of course Jian Ling would have contact with Samuel, otherwise, Jian Xing and Lan Heng's temporary licenses would not be obtained easily.Naturally, Samuel's strong guarantee is indispensable, and the specific reason for it is also unknown.

Jian Xing said: "Thank you."

Now it was Samuel's turn to be stunned.

"For the license, thank you." Jian Xing said awkwardly

Samuel: "It's a little effort, and it's what you deserve."

The scene fell into a stalemate, and the atmosphere of embarrassment permeated.Jian Xing was silent, and the other party was also silent.

For a long time, Jian Xing wanted to ask a lot, but when confronted face to face, he couldn't find out why.

Sensing something was wrong with the scene, Samuel took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere: "Have you made new friends? It's good, don't keep communicating with people like before. Don't worry about the results of today's game. The season has just begun. Don't be fooled." affect the mood."

After all, he couldn't listen anymore, Jian Xing took Lan Heng's arm and walked to the other side: "Sorry, the team leader has something to do with us, we have to leave first."

Samuel froze for a moment, then nodded gracefully: "Okay, be careful."

Just two steps away, Jian Xing suddenly turned around: "Why did you kick me out of the team?"

This is a point that Jian Xing has never been able to figure out.

If Ricodriel really doesn't want him, why keep wasting resources on him.Those financial resources and care are not fake, if it is to play with him, it would be too much acting.

If it wasn't for acting, Ricodley kicked him away.

"Jane," Samuel said in a deep voice, "some things are not so easy to explain."

"Because I'm from Huaguo?" Jian Xing said suddenly.

Looking at each other for a moment, from Jian Xing's eyes, Samuel saw persistence.Jian Xing must ask for an answer today, otherwise he will never let it go.

Samuel sighed: "There is a reason."

"I understand." After getting the answer, Jian Xing completely broke his mind, turned his head and walked to the other side.

Of course, Jian Xing will also think about what he did not do well, or what he did not do well enough, which made Rico Deli choose to give up on himself.

Quentin Kent of Ricodriel told Jian Xing that the team chose to renew his contract.

There are only two seats in a team, and Rick Deli chose Quentin Kent, which is equivalent to abandoning Jian Xing.

Jian Xing wanted a reason, but Quentin Kent told him that it was only because he was a Chinese citizen.

This made Jian Xing couldn't help thinking that Samuel Lee once asked him insincerely if he wanted to immigrate.At that time, Jian Xing denied it.

At that time, Jian Xing wondered why Samuel would ask this question, but now it seems that there is a reason for everything.

Jian Xing's pace was very fast, and when he stopped suddenly, he realized that he had walked a long way.Fortunately, there was always someone beside him who did not slow down.

"Sorry, I lost my temper." Jane apologized for being out of control, and he felt upset because of the flood of emotions.His fists clenched tightly, "I shouldn't be like this, I'm not like this. Can you leave for a while? When I calm down, I'll be fine."

I am not used to letting others see my weak side, and I also don't want others to see it.He hopes that in the eyes of his lovers, he will always be a perfect, powerful and indestructible image.

Rather than a coward who messes up his position because of a few words.

Even if his reason clearly tells himself not to be affected by other things, even if he can be as solid as a rock, he will still be unable to escape his flesh and blood.

Lan Heng didn't listen to Jian Xing's words and left, he lightly pressed Jian Xing's shoulder and hugged her into his arms.The other hand gently stroked Jian Xing's back, like a silent comfort.

Silence is more effective than long speeches, and Jian Xing does not want to be taught the truth at this moment.He understands the truth, but if everything can be done according to the truth, how easy it will be for that person.

After a while, Jian Xing's heartbeat finally stopped, he hugged Lan Heng's waist back, and buried his head in Lan Heng's neck.

"We're going to Malaysia soon."

"Well," Lan Heng tilted his head so that the other party's leaning position would be more comfortable, "There will be no accidents this time."

Jian Xing arched his head again, and the tip of his nose rubbed against his collarbone, which hurt a little.

But it was very fragrant, Lan Heng's body was always so fragrant, it was not at all like the fragrance a man should have.

Jian Xing sniffed, and couldn't help but move his mouth to take a bite. Lan Heng tilted his head back, and pressed the hand behind Jian Xing's back tightly.

The atmosphere suddenly turned subtle, and just as he was looking for a place with few people, Fabian suddenly popped out from the corner.

Jian Xing had a guilty conscience and was caught again. Fortunately, the two did not act excessively, so Fabian did not become suspicious.

Fabian looked excited: "I chatted with the team leader of Leman for a while, and I found out that some parts of our team's racing cars are purchased from the same manufacturer as Mescon."

Some complex parts, the team will choose to outsource it.One is to save costs, and the other is to save trouble.

Jian Xing: "We own a factory with Mescon, what's wrong?"

It is impossible for the team to outsource the core R&D technology, and what can be outsourced are some inconspicuous small parts.

Fabian: "Didn't you say that there is a problem with the racing car? We can compare it with Mesken's public racing data to find out where the problem is. Jane, don't worry, you will be able to do whatever you want on the track in Malaysia that day. soar."

Jian Xing smiled: "Then I thank you in advance."

The champion can get 25 points, No.2 can only get 18 points, followed by a rapid decline.If they fail to enter the top five in the competition, it means losing the qualification to compete for the world championship.

The only thing Jian Xing can pray for at this moment is that the engineer can solve the racing problem.

The various parts of the car have been shipped to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the drivers also got on the plane and came to the track ahead of schedule.

Jian Xing followed the team to the Sepang circuit to survey and get familiar with the track, and the engineers carried out measurements with electronic equipment in their hands.

The main purpose of walking the track in advance is to observe the details of the track, including the local topography of the track surface, to find reference points for braking points and corners.

Jian Xing and Lan Heng focused on the track surface. The Sepang track has several high-speed corners, which means that they will always maintain full throttle and high speed during driving.

During the race, the ambient temperature often reaches 40 degrees, which makes it especially difficult to cool the engine.

This is a track that tests the engine extremely, and the team needs to carefully adjust the engine data.

"This track is easy to overtake," Jane concluded after walking a lap of the track. "There are many straight sections that can be passed at full throttle, including many corners. I like this track. It will be fast."

Fabian in front suddenly turned his head and said solemnly: "Jane, men can't speak fast, it will annoy your significant other."

Jian Xing: "Can this have a yellow accent?"

Fabian laughed and continued to collect track data with the engineer.

Two days later, the practice match on May 5 will soon be ushered in.
