End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 188
Ice City driver Stewart hopes that Vergil can stay in Leysin next season, because he believes that the Leysin team will get an upgrade with the same performance as Ice City in the future.Stewart believes that with the current research and development strength of the Leysen team, this team is worthy of Vergil's patience and waiting.

"He is a top driver, and the only teams considered by top drivers are Bingcheng and Dongsheng. But I think these two options are unrealistic for him, so I think he should stay with Leisen. According to my opinion You know, his salary is still lower than that of Srock, and his performance this season has far exceeded the latter. Leysen will always get a competitive car in the future, and then he will really join the championship. So I suggest that he just have to wait patiently at Leysin."

The former world champion believes that the current two drivers of the Leysin team cannot coexist harmoniously, and the team must establish the status of the number one driver as soon as possible.At the same time, he also criticized Tesrock for not being as strong as Vergil, and he believed that Vergil should be the leader of this team.

"It's unbelievable that Tesrock only scored two points in Monaco with a Leysin. Virgil has always been the leader of the team, but neither the team nor the media seem to buy his status. Tesrock makes mistakes every game. In comparison, I think Virgil is the real leader. And Tesrock is making risky moves all the time. In this regard, his strength It’s just not as good as Virgil.”

The Leysen team manager believes that Leysen needs more time before deciding to use immature new technology in the 2103 season.They had hoped that the R&D center would give the results before the end of May, but Leysen always insisted that after the Canadian race, the Leyson team manager who was interviewed in the Monaco race postponed this time point again. The answer this time is six The end of the month, the beginning of July.

"We still have a month or so to decide to introduce new technology, so I would say the end of June and the beginning of July. We have to analyze the comparison after the Canadian station, which is very important for us. We are only now We are not satisfied with our strength in qualifying, but in the race, we won many of the fastest laps in several races."

F1 sports director believes that the intensity of F1 competition this season should not be measured by the special case of Monaco.After hearing the boring and negative comments on the Monaco race from the outside world, the supervisor also gave a timely response. He said that the Monaco race has always been like this, and what makes it special is not the intense scenes on the track.

"I heard everyone's comments on this race, and I also agree that the race was rather boring, and the tires dominated the race. However, there shouldn't be any overtaking in Monaco. This is the most special road. The track, so we can’t evaluate it from the perspective of other tracks. What makes it unique is the gorgeous and luxurious scenes outside the track and the enduring warm atmosphere.”

The manager of the Ice City team believes that the performance of Stewart and Seaver in Monaco has successfully "stopped losses" for the team on this track, which is the least good at it. “We clearly understood that it would be difficult for us to race on such a track. Because our drivers encountered serious tire graining problems during the race, third and No. 5 are results that I am happy with. We did not choose to stop both drivers in the race because it would have meant we would have lost more places."

The tactical director of the Bingcheng team believes that the performance of the Leisen and Dongsheng teams in the use and management of the softest tires is better than that of Bingcheng.In the next race in Canada, this set of tires will continue to be used, and the team believes that how to use the softest tires in the race will be the key to their championship.

"It's a similar situation for everyone despite the softest tire being used for the first time. We figured out the problem we had in Monaco, so now we just have to work harder to find a solution to dominate in Montreal. .In the Monaco Grand Prix, we did not dare to let Stewart try the red supersoft tires because we found on Thursday that this set of tires was difficult to find grip. If we have the opportunity to review this race, we may also let Stewart try the supersoft tires. .”

The director of the F1 competition revealed that the legal research on the Dongsheng racing battery system will continue in the next race, and the intelligent system for monitoring the racing car will be fully upgraded.Dongsheng's battery has been suspected and complained by other teams before, and so far the FIA ​​has not found any design loopholes from Dongsheng's racing car.

"After the complicated research methods used before, we are satisfied with the legitimacy of the Dongsheng racing car. But for the rigor of the research, we decided to adopt more advanced monitoring measures. Perhaps this device will be carried on the Dongsheng racing car for a longer period of time. , so that other teams can be more satisfied with our conclusion."

On the other side, Teslok's various mistakes finally made the team's senior management a little bit intolerable. According to a well-known racing media report, Teslok's suicide attempt may change Virgil's contract renewal prospects. At present, Laisen's senior management is more inclined to focus on the future. Virgil comes to assemble the team.

The contract between Vergil and Leysen will expire after the end of this season. At present, the two sides still have not reached a consensus on the contract renewal. Since Leyson signed a long-term contract with Tesrock, in the eyes of many media, it feels that he cannot get the team. Virgil, who attaches great importance to it, has made up his mind to leave the team, and his next home may be Dongsheng or Bingcheng Racing Team.Layson's attitude towards Vergil was also quite vague before. The manager of the Leyson team had previously expressed the hope that Vergil would stay in the team, but it would not hinder his development in other teams.

But after the start of this season, the situation has completely developed in the opposite direction to Leysen's expectations. In the first few races of the season, Tesrock made mistakes of varying degrees in each race. In the just-concluded Monaco Grand Prix, he The unnecessary crash in the practice session made Leysen miss a great opportunity to win the championship and the second place. This made the team manager unbearable. After the race, he publicly stated that Tesrock must not make similar mistakes again.In contrast, Virgil's performance this season is quite good, and he has already won two championships in the Chinese Grand Prix and the Monaco Grand Prix, which is enough to compete with Stewart, Daniel and others.

"Our drivers' lack of comfort in the cockpit has been a topic that hasn't been a secret since last November. Our winter problems have not been adequately addressed and the pair have been responding with euphemistic official answers. Doubt. I may not be qualified to comment on this topic, because I am not an official driver of the team."
