Professional racing driver forced to debut

After weighing himself, Cameron fled away as if he had never seen him again.

Jian Xing also ignored Cameron's horror. The next part Cameron will attend is the driver's press conference, which has nothing to do with Jian Xing.

Only the top three drivers are required to attend the press conference after qualifying for interviews.

In the office, the R&D personnel and the two drivers are wearing earphones, and a laptop is placed in front of them, on which various data are recorded.

Fabian said: "The current problem is very clear. There is a problem with our car, but we have no way to find the reason."

Jian Xingdao: "This time the car is much more stable than last time. I don't know if it's because of the replacement of the gearbox."

The original gearbox only ran one Australian Grand Prix before it suffered problems in the second race.Melbourne's embarrassing retirement may have something to do with the gearbox.

"This time the car tuning is biased towards the winter test specifications, but many places have been upgraded." Fabian knocked on the table, "But please don't be discouraged."

"At the moment, we are not ahead of anyone, we have zero points, there are two other teams with zero points. But it is nothing to be proud of, we have to do something to get points and break the situation. "

"The problem of the car must be solved. The problem of the car in the winter test is not that big, right? Then adjust the car back to the specification settings of the winter test, what do you think?"

Some engineers objected: "It is impossible for the car to stay in place forever. We must find out the problem before we can adjust it. Otherwise, a car that will not improve will not be able to run [-] races."

Even if you can finish the run, the results will be ugly.

All the teams update the car at the weekend, if they don't look for the problem and fix it, instead rely on the car data from the winter test, then they will never improve.

When everyone is making progress, standing still is equivalent to regressing.

Some engineers also have different ideas: "I think an honest approach should be taken at present. The top priority is not to improve the performance of the car, but to allow the car to finish the race normally."

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Fabian's mind, and he looked at Lan Heng calmly.

Facing this line of sight, Lan Heng seemed to have a tacit understanding, and said, "We can do it together."

The engineer asked: "Together?"

I really thought of going with Fabian.

Fabian explained why together: "Two cars with different specification settings are on the track at the same time. One car is changed back to the adjustment settings of the winter test, and the other is corrected. Then the two data are compared after the race. For comparison, with the data comparison of the same track and at the same time, it is convenient for engineers to find problems. Even if the current situation deteriorates, we can have a general research and development direction.”

Tuning the car back to the old formula is extremely rare in the paddock, and most teams will upgrade the car to improve performance.And they obviously have a big problem with the team, they seem to be doing a reverse upgrade of the car.

There is nothing more intuitive than the data at the same time. Through the data and the driver's performance, they can know whether there is a problem with the car upgrade or a mistake from the beginning.

But this way requires sacrificing a driver, and no one wants to be a guinea pig for testing.

When there are two drivers in the team, you can't fully take care of the feelings of the two drivers, there is always one person who has to make a sacrifice.

One must be sacrificed.

Lan Heng: "I'll do it."

"I'm here to test the new car," he said.

Jian Xing is relatively stable when driving an old car, and it is the safest way to let Jian Xing drive an old car.However, new cars have too many uncertain factors, and new problems are likely to appear.

Jian Xing frowned: "You don't have to do this, I can drive a new car."

"That's it." Fabian made a decisive decision, "If you want to change, you have to take risks. There is no point in arguing over who sacrifices. Lan Heng's car tuning is fine, the key is you. Even if Lan Heng can enter the top ten smoothly, And you're struggling with the car all the time, so it doesn't do anything for the overall interest of the team."

Jian Xing wanted to say something else, but Fabian said in a deep voice, "This is an order from the team."

The driver is part of the team, and the interests of the team as a whole are paramount. As the team leader, Fabian naturally has the ability to forcefully issue orders.

Jian Xing can only accept it.

If the qualifying race is a [-]-meter sprint, the race is a marathon, and the car will have different feedback under different conditions.

Tomorrow's main match is a test match for both Jian Xing and Lan Heng.

On May 5th, the Kiplong Sepang Circuit in Malaysia, the length of the track is 13 kilometers, and the total number of laps in the race is 5.542 laps.

The track has long straights with almost different arcs, and since it's a new track, the tires don't wear too much.

The track tested the engine and the suspension, and the team only made minor adjustments in these two areas.

The fans were extremely enthusiastic. They waved around the surroundings of each team and wore the fan costumes of different teams.The color scheme varies so much from team to team that it only takes one glance to tell whose fan this person is.

In the crowded scene, the bright red color has never been seen.

This is also normal. After all, they are a new team and have not achieved good results since the competition. It is reasonable that they do not get the attention of fans.

Before the official start of the race, all drivers need to run a lap in advance, this lap is called the warm-up lap.The main purpose is to get the tires to workable temperature as quickly as possible.

Unlike road tyres, F1 tires are too cold to work and too hot to be dangerous.

After the warm-up lap, all the drivers arrived at the corresponding starting positions one after another.

Even though five grid positions were fined, Jian Xing's grid order was still relatively high.At the very least, the former Flynn team drivers rarely have the opportunity to be in this position.

There are two grids in each row, but one of them is slightly ahead, and the vertical distance between the two cars in the same row is 8m.

Under the effect of the earplugs, the world seemed to be silent, and what Jian Xing could pay attention to was the signal lights ahead.

The extinguishing of the signal light also tests the driver's reaction ability, just like the gunfire of a sprint race, as long as your reaction is fast enough and you start first, you can gain a greater advantage than other competitors.

The same goes for F1.

As the five red lights turned on sequentially from left to right, they paused for a moment and then went out suddenly.

At the moment of extinguishing, the entire car array fell into chaos.

"Let's see - Cameron made some mistakes at the start and he was overtaken by the Rickardier. But it didn't matter, Cameron came on strong and was about to reclaim his number one position."

"The two brothers Snow at the back started equally well, especially Miller. In previous seasons, Miller was dubbed by car fans as 'the driver who can sleepwalk the most at the start time'. Setbacks really can make people grow , Miller's reaction speed is as sensitive as Garcia's today."

"The two brothers cooperated seamlessly and had a perfect understanding. With the cooperation of Miller's pick-and-roll, the offense of the rear car was turned into flow."

Miller Snow is a well-known rookie in the paddock. His own driving talent is average, and his ability to enter F1 is purely due to his father's strength.

The fame of the snow tree team where the Snow brothers belonged is also inseparable from Miller's brother Garcia.

It can be seen that Miller's enthusiasm for racing is not so strong.But there is one thing to say, although Miller's driving skills are average, his cooperation with the twin brothers is indeed very powerful.

If Garcia seizes the opportunity to take the lead, and Miller is waiting behind, even if a wealthy team comes, it will not be easy to complete the overtaking.

This is a terrible twin combination.

Coincidentally, the person behind Miller is Jian Xing.

Miller Snow's starting order was originally behind Jian Xing, but Miller's reaction speed was so fast that it was astonishingly fast.A body tap passed the two cars in front, and successfully came to the front of Jian Xing and the rear of Garcia.

Even Jian Xing couldn't help but sigh with emotion at Miller Snow's reaction speed, but he couldn't help being surprised at this moment, he had to focus on the front and keep calm.

The winter test car is indeed more stable than the Australian Grand Prix car, and it seems that the team has indeed upgraded the car in reverse.Instead of improving the performance of the car, it made the performance decline.

Fortunately, this is the second game, and everything has a chance to salvage.

"It can be seen that Don in the rear is struggling very much. But there is no way, it is Snow who Jian Xing meets."

Jian Xing followed closely behind, biting Miller Snow's tail tightly.But Jian Xing's goal is not Miller, but Garcia.

With Miller's obstacles, Jian Xing's overtaking plan was very difficult.He kept staring ahead, looking for flaws.

There is a medium-high-speed corner ahead, and one of the ways to overtake is to take the outside lane (the line close to the outside lane).Jian Xing took the first step to occupy the best driving route, forcing the vehicle in front to slow down, hoping to achieve the purpose of overtaking.

Once Jianxing takes the best driving route one step ahead, the cars in front will be affected.This kind of overtaking method requires relatively high technical requirements, because in F1, most drivers are at the top level.

Garcia deserves to have excellent cornering skills, even when Jian Xing is pressing behind him, he responds calmly.

"The Huaguo people's plan to kill two birds with one stone failed. Garcia turned the corner smoothly, and Miller behind him escorted him. The three cars started a wonderful chase on the track!"

The audience likes to watch these fighting scenes, especially if this is the famous twin cooperation.

Someone in the audience asked, "Miller can keep up with Garcia this time? Did his father pay him? Otherwise, with his quick reaction speed, can he catch up?"

"Although Miller is a rookie, he is still an F1 driver. However, after the lights went out in the last two races, Miller's reaction speed was really fast. Even the four drivers of Mesken and Ricodry didn't react as fast as him. , he has really improved a lot.”

"Jane Xing is in trouble. If it's just Garcia, it's okay. Maybe Jian Xing can fight against him. But there is an extra Miller."

"Miller is notoriously annoying. With him behind Garcia, it would be extremely difficult for Jian Xing to overtake."

"Even Cameron, who has always looked down on Miller, has to admire Miller's stickiness. Because he couldn't break the twins, Cameron publicly mocked Miller as Garcia's jellyfish."

It is not an exaggeration to say that Miller is Garcia's brown sugar.

No matter how Jian Xing changes the line, Miller in front of him seems to have eyes on the back of his head, and he will always predict it first.Coupled with the seamless cooperation between the two, Jian Xing couldn't find any fault at all.

And Miller knows how to use the rules, and always keeps walking within the rules.

It really is a sticky candy.

Tr (radio) Don: "Don't be so anxious, the race has just begun. You don't have to be obsessed with dogfighting, it's not good for your tire protection."

During the racing process, the representative will often change the line, accelerate, and put pressure on the tires. Similarly, if the fighting time is too long, the tires will also wear out faster.

It is not wise to consume tires like this early in the race.

Jian Xing: "Give me another half lap, and I will be able to overtake him."

"..." The radio was silent for a while, as if speechless.After a while, the team engineer's voice came over the radio, "Don't force yourself, we need to be steady."

The commentator of the race group raised his eyebrows and couldn't help chuckling: "If I remember correctly, this Huaguo driver is very young. Then he doesn't understand the meaning of twins, I can understand .Young kids are always a little arrogant."

"The combination of Miller and Garcia is the strongest iron wall in the paddock. As long as the two are put together, it is tantamount to making the car behind lose the opportunity to move forward. The only thing the car behind can do is to pray for an accident ahead. That's the only way." , the combination of twins may fall apart."

"Jian Xing is still too young. Although his driving skills are indeed better than we imagined, he still lacks practical experience."

"There is another curve ahead, which is a chicane. It can be seen that Miller and Garcia downshifted and slowed down at the same time, and chose to brake early to enter the apex. This is their usual trick. And the simple line behind— —”

The commentary faltered, suddenly unable to believe what he was seeing.The boiling auditorium suddenly fell silent as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and then became turbulent again under the roar of the engine.

"What did I see? What did I see?"

"The tactics of the twins have been cracked? My God, I can still see the failure of the twins in my lifetime??"

At the corner, Jian Xing took advantage of the opportunity of Miller and Garcia to slow down and exit the corner, and resolutely chose to delay braking.Delayed braking into corners will allow the driver to gain a greater speed advantage, but this will extremely test the car's downforce and the driver's control skills.

If you are not careful, the car will rush off the track.

Obviously, both the car and the driver have the ability to brake late (delay brake).

The red and white racing car gained a huge speed advantage by braking late, and rushed forward at a very fast speed. The car firmly occupied the inside line of the curve and blocked Garcia's lane ahead.

The driveway that originally belonged to Garcia is now occupied by Jian Xing!

"Jane Xing killed two birds with one stone. Relying on his bold and precise braking skills and routing, he completed a perfect overtaking!"

"This is the most exciting overtaking show so far this season. Look at our broadcast footage, which is constantly replaying this scene for the audience!"

The whole overtaking action is like flowing water. Jian Xing can pass two cars at once, and he needs to master accurate braking points and driving skills.Once you make a mistake, it will definitely cause a collision.

If it was someone else, he would definitely worry, but Jian Xing would never.He has extraordinary confidence in himself, and he firmly believes that he can do anything.

Jian Xing's ranking was successfully promoted to fifth, and boos and applause erupted from the audience.

The fifth place determines the boss of the mid-stream group. In the past, the top six teams in the competition were basically dominated by three giant teams.But now, there is an insignificant small team of small drivers who can enter this field.

Miller still couldn't believe it: "Is that person just now Jian Xing? Am I not mistaken? Is it him?"

Tr (radio) Xueshu: "That's right, it's Jianxing. Miller, don't be distracted, there is a racing car behind you. Concentrate on cooperating with Garcia, and don't make any more mistakes."

Miller felt a little funny: "You think I made a mistake, so I let Jian Xing complete the overtaking?"

Tr (radio) Xueshu: "I didn't say that, Miller, don't think about it. Focus on the front, focus on the game."

Miller still had goosebumps when he recalled the overtaking just now.

Jian Xing's racing car almost passed him wheel-to-wheel, and it seemed that if he got any closer, the two cars would collide.

It's like a thrilling brush with death.

If there was a racing car in front, it would be fine for Jian Xing to attack boldly, but these are two cars!

I really don't know whether to call him bold or ignorant, or—

Crazy.

After passing these two racing cars, the radio in Jian Xing's ears couldn't calm down anymore. Jian Xing let the other party shout in surprise, while he focused on the road ahead.

The sapphire blue racing car currently in front of Jian Xing is Fentiman's Hugh Lane.

Hugh Ryan has a restrained and calm personality, and is known as an honest man in the paddock.He drove diligently, which is a living example in textbooks.

The more disciplined the person, the harder it is to make mistakes. Jian Xing is not in a hurry to pass Huo Ryan, but his speed does not lag behind.

Jian Xing chased Xiu Ryan to the front of the main road. On a straight road, Xiu Ryan just stepped on the brake with his front foot, and Jian Xing overtook him a second later.

"Hugh Lane was passed! Under Jian Xing's offensive, he lasted for less than two laps!"

"At the moment when Xiu Ryan stopped, Jian Xing shot decisively. Facing the huge speed difference, Xiu Ryan had no way to prevent it. Jian Xing stabilized the car with accurate judgment and strong control. Not only that, he Immediately opened the distance between the two, and completed a textbook-level overtaking!"

It was beyond everyone's expectation that Jian Xing could get past Xiu Lane.

No matter how good the cooperation between the two Snow brothers is, it is still a mid-level team and a mid-level racing car.Not Fentiman.

Fentiman is a wealthy team with a powerful Mars rover!

The audience could no longer sit still, but they jumped up and raised their arms, cheering and screaming, as if they wanted to use this moment to shout out their soaring adrenaline.

"I just killed the Snow twins with one stone, and I already knelt down. This move is so strong, I just fucking lay on the ground!"

"Isn't Huaguo driver Jian Xing talented? My God, is he already so dazzling in the second race of the season?"

"Compared to Cameron back then, it's even worse!"

"Come on, it's just that playboy brother who sleeps with women all day long. Didn't you read what the media said? He spends most of his training time dating women. What a disgusting stallion."

"I can't say that. Cameron's humorous personality is quite likable. But in terms of private life, it's really not clean."

"I'm not bragging. I just overtook Cameron with Jian Xing's hand. Just wait and see, Jian Xing will replace Cameron's star position sooner or later. If not, then let me replace Cameron." Lun sucks."

Even if he is as calm as Xiu Lane, he can't stay calm at this moment.

Hugh Lane: "Are you sure this racing car is qualified? It hasn't been tampered with? As for the R&D personnel of Flynn Racing Team, can they develop such a racing car?"

The car is still struggling in Australia, but the past week has been like a miracle cure.

Tr (radio) Fentiman: "...It is indeed Don. As for the car problem, I will report it to the race technical team. But don't have too much expectation, because this car has passed the car inspection... "

There is also competition between teams. If a certain team develops a black technology with too much advantage, all other teams will jointly sign a letter requesting the race official to ban it.

In order to ensure the fairness of the game, technologies with great advantages will indeed be banned.

But this does not affect all the teams to search for loopholes in the rules and develop new technologies.Even if it is banned, the results of the previous game are still valid, as long as it is not cheating.

Not to mention that Fentiman's people can't understand it, and other teams can't understand it either. How does this fledgling team have the capital to develop such a fast car?

Tr (radio) Don: "Jane, in front of you is... Samuel of Ricodley."

Jian Xing did react when he heard the name, but it was only for a moment.He said: "I will kill him."

After the radio was relayed, Jian Xing's soft and fluent English accent could be heard throughout the paddock.Everyone who listened was deeply moved by this kid's arrogance and newborn calf.

On the one hand, they think that it is impossible for Jian Xing to pass the car king Samuel Lee; but on the other hand, they really expect such a scene to happen.

No one wants the strong to stay in the top position forever. What they want to see is a wonderful scene where the weak defeat the strong and finally become heroes.

Tr (radio) Don: "Very good, keep the current speed. Samuel Lee in front is fighting with Ethan Young. You can wait and see and look for opportunities to reap the benefits."

Jian Xing: "Understood."

Ethan Young is another Fentiman driver, Jian Xing has just passed his teammate, and now it will be his turn soon.

The fight ahead is intense, Ethan Young is not too old, and his career can be called dramatic.He was discovered with amazing talent, and he was sent directly from F3 to F1, and he didn't even participate in F2.

Jian Xing strives for stability and does not act rashly.

There is a curve ahead, and the Fentiman and Ricodry cars are very close.

Suddenly, a large cloud of white smoke appeared in front of Jian Xing's eyes!

"Both Ethan and Samuel's tires are starting to lock up! Ethan is now on the outside and soon the two cars are back together!"

After a loud noise, the commentator became excited: "Collision! They collided! Wheel to wheel collision!"

"Ethan's car lost control and he was spinning on the track. Poor Jian Xing was innocently affected, and Jian Xing's car also started to smoke."

"Jian Xing's car was smoking from the rear, and he was forced to drive into the avoidance lane."
