End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 101 The last stubbornness!

××Sports News, at the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Daniel led the way from pole position and finally won the championship. While gaining 50 wins in his career, he also ended Dongsheng’s 14-year championship drought in Montreal.

Entering the era of turbocharging, Ice City is the overlord of Canada.Although Virgil picked up the wallet in 2095, Bingcheng dominated the front row, and Gloria was nearly 3 seconds ahead of Daniel, who was in third place, reflecting his strong strength.In the next three years, Stewart won the race from pole position in a row. .

东生自从早年2084年逆转获胜后，13次赛事仅有6人次登台（最多26），今年在此之前最好成绩是丹吉尔2096年的亚军。

So how did Dongsheng complete the great shift in Montreal?
The answer, of course, is the engine.

The Villeneuve circuit has a total length of 4.361km and a low-to-medium downforce requirement. It is a high-speed circuit. After turning 10, there is a 1190-meter-long full-throttle section, which is a great test for the racing engine.

Dongsheng's engine horsepower has improved this year compared to last year, narrowing the gap with Bingcheng.In the Friday practice session and Saturday qualifying session of this station, the fastest speeds in the three time periods were all made by Dongsheng engines.Among them, the back straight speed comes from Kendrick.

This year, only three engines can be used. At the 7th station, Dongsheng upgraded the engine, and Daniel was the first to be able to use the new engine.Teammate Santak just activated the new turbo at this station.The Canadian overlord Ice City team canceled the engine upgrade before the race, because the reliability of the new engine has problems, and it is expected to go to the next stop in France.The Pride engine has been upgraded on this site, which also means that the Ice City duo will use an old engine that has gone through 6 races to meet the challenge of Leysin.

旧引擎果然不给力。Q3当中冰城在前两个计时段能够咬住丹吉尔，但是西维尔和斯图尔特在S3被抛开，西维尔落后0.119秒、斯图尔特落后多达0.299秒。东生终结了冰城连续4年的杆位，时隔17年再次在维伦纽夫赛道杆位起跑。

During the race, Daniel had a wonderful start and maintained a very good speed. He led every lap without giving his opponents any chance.Stewart encountered a power unit problem and had to pit early; Seaver encountered fuel consumption problems during the race. It is unknown whether it was related to the old engine.Daniel said after the game that the new engine was the key to Dongsheng’s victory at this station.

"Most of the credit goes to the power unit, and the introduction of a new engine probably helps more on this circuit than elsewhere," said Daniel.

F1 will return to Europe next, and the Paul Ricard Circuit in France will be the next race track.This track has a super long straight road and a high full throttle ratio, which is another big test for the engine.Bingcheng will upgrade the engine in France, and then we will see the real competition between Bingcheng and Leysen.

Daniel: Accusing F1 of being boring is short-sighted
Daniel led the pack to win the Canadian Grand Prix, which was accused by many of being dull due to the one-stop tactics used by almost all the drivers and the lack of a lot of overtaking on the track.In the end, Daniel led every lap and won the championship.After the race, when asked about the enjoyment of the race, Daniel suggested that the lackluster racing was part of racing and advised reporters to focus on "something else".

"I don't think there's any point in criticizing the race, there's no point in criticizing the car. I don't know if the race is boring, but I'm busy managing a lot of things in the race. I don't know why people are so short-sighted. Seven races into the year , there were some really great ones, but there were also some very boring ones.”

"Of course some races will be very exciting and some will be boring, but we will still watch them. And as the leading drivers, all we want to see is a boring race. But some races will be very boring. Boring, and some of it would be really exciting."

F1 gold medal commentary: Daniel led Ferrari to victory, Santak came to the end of his career

The gold medal commentator believes that Raikkonen’s career is coming to an end. A British sports commentator believes that Daniel led Dongsheng to win the Canadian Grand Prix, but compared with Daniel’s performance, he thinks that Santak’s performance is not good enough. Tucker may be about to leave the team.

"Santak's performance was a concern. Although he was one of the favourites, another error in qualifying and after being 30 seconds behind Daniel in the race, I think Santak's F1 Career is coming to an end."

Poor results + disrespect to the team, revealing that Altaïr has lost all hearts in F1

××Sports News, as a two-time F1 world champion, Altaïr has been unhappy in the paddock in recent years.The Citroen team he played for has always had poor results, and Altaïr's words and deeds on and off the field have repeatedly shown disrespect for the team, which made this driver who was snapped up by many teams gradually lose the hearts of the people. It is reported that this will be his last season in F1.

It is true that Altaïr is not to blame for the slow performance of Citroen. In the past three years, they were harmed by Morita, which returned to F1. Although they changed the engine this season, it will obviously take time to recover.Citroen did not ask for results from the two drivers, especially Altaïr, who gave way to the former two-time champion driver in almost everything.

But Altaïr himself did not have such a good temper. It became commonplace for him to taunt the team. During the cooperation with Morita, Altaïr made disrespectful remarks to this supplier many times, which made Morita's top management also It was very embarrassing. During this period, Altaïr also left a very informative record for the media. Some people said that this was all because Morita spent money to blackmail himself.And this season, Altaïr has no intention of restraining himself. After retiring in the last Canadian Grand Prix, Altaïr did not reflect on the game, but can't wait to participate in other races in Le Mans.

Poor grades and lack of respect for the team made Altaïr gradually lose the hearts of the people. There was news that Bingcheng was interested in him before, but now it is rarely mentioned anymore. The driver who played for Bingcheng Gloria said publicly today that there is no big team that really wants Altaïr: "We all know Altaïr has a lot of strength, but because of his internal political games in the team, no one wants to. Want him. I know he's one of the best drivers in F1 but for him to even be struggling to get into Q3 is just incredible."

A foreign media commentator said that Altaïr’s current fame is greater than his strength: “I think Altaïr is a great braggart now, and I always think he will leave F1 after the end of this season. I interviewed in Monaco At that time, he looked down on the opportunities of F1. In Montreal, I did not find his feeling changed. And coupled with the upcoming major reform of the FIA ​​next year, for such a driver Leaving F1 at this time may be his best choice. In fact, he should quit F1 a few years ago, not only because of his age, but also because of his contribution to the team and F1. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to describe such a former two-time champion as selfish, but this is what I want to say, not enterprising, contrary to the philosophy emphasized by the race, so Altaïr left F1 , it is even better for the team and the F1 race!"

Altaïr successfully renewed his contract with Citroen last season, but the length of the contract has not been announced. Now more and more voices believe that Altaïr has completely lost patience with Citroen, and he will renew after the end of this season. At present, the interest of other teams in Altaïr has also been greatly reduced, so the possibility of Altaïr leaving F1 after the end of this season cannot be ruled out.

FIA considers automatic checkered flag system to prevent repeat of own incident

A checkered flag own goal at the Canadian Grand Prix sparked controversy after the race.Due to a miscommunication, the checkered flag was waved by a Canadian supermodel at the beginning of the last lap, the 70th lap.Since the scheduled mileage had not been completed at that time, the final score of the race was calculated according to the two laps before the checkered flag was waved.

The FIA ​​is focusing on the automatic checkered flag system, because similar images may mislead the track staff and participating drivers, causing the staff to enter the track in advance or the drivers to choose to slow down.Therefore, in addition to having an impact on the outcome of the race, a premature waving of the checkered flag may also have an impact on the safety of the track.

Therefore, the FIA ​​said it would consider making changes to the checkered flag signaling system in the future. "I think we should change the signal that signals the end of the race," the race director said. "The checkered flag is a tradition in racing, but at the same time there is a lot of room for error."

"We can put a big screen at the finish line to display the pattern of the checkered flag, but if it is an automatic system, then we have to set the timing of the checkered flag. Maybe the drivers should also get used to the fact that only seeing the display prompt means that the race is really over gone."

Leysen team leader hopes Tesrock is about to "transfer"

After a series of accidents and mistakes this season, Teslock, who has been under heavy pressure, used a remarkable performance to finish third in Canada last week.After the game, Team Leader Lesson expressed his hope that the talent’s “turnaround” is coming soon.

"His performance was very good," Leysen said. "In fact, in many sports events, we will see a very talented athlete suffer some low points."

"The low point that Tesrock has been through this season has been very public. I hope his luck is about to turn around because he's been doing really well in Canada."

……

Many people sneered at this after reading the news. In the last season before the reform, not only Leisen and Xingjiao, but also many teams will finally come up with their hidden chassis.
