End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 196 Compliment
The Dongsheng team leader asked Dongsheng to keep his feet on the ground and stay focused after winning the Canadian Grand Prix.

Daniel dominated the Montreal game, taking his impressive 50th career win.

"We have been working step by step since Friday, focusing on what we should do bit by bit," Dongsheng team leader said in an interview, "Of course, Daniel is a great driver, he is not only for himself, but also Contributed to the team."

However, Dongsheng's team leader emphasized that Dongsheng still has work to do, and it will be a thrilling championship battle with the defending champion Bingcheng and Leisen.

"It's been a big fight this year," he added. "We're more or less a little behind, but not by much. I mean, it's going to be an interesting tournament and we've got to keep our feet on the ground and work hard."

Dongsheng Racing's Santak believes the Canadian Grand Prix is ​​"very boring" like the previous Monaco Grand Prix.

The Dongsheng driver's performance in Canada was also mediocre. He was overtaken by Leyson's Vergil at the start of the race, and finally only finished No.6, while his teammate Daniel won the whole race.

"The usual problem with overtaking is that you need a huge performance difference to overcome the turbulence behind the other car, which makes overtaking very difficult even in Montreal's third DRS zone," Santak said.

In Monaco, both Altaïr and Stewart made strong criticisms of the car and its overtaking at the traditional circuit, and similar views followed the Canadian Grand Prix.

Of the top six starters in the race, only Virgil was on the grid for Santak, while Stewart moved up the ranks through a pit stop strategy.

Adonis entered F1 for the first time this year, but due to the inherent deficiencies of Salvador's car, he only won the highest 14th place in the first seven races.But he personally thinks that such a difficult career debut still makes him happy. He has learned how to cooperate with the team to solve various problems of the car.

"This season has been very difficult for me, we haven't achieved any good results so far, and the speed of the car is not within the range we expected. Of course I hope to have a car that competes for points. I've had a better start to my career. But I still enjoy the challenge and feel that I'm important internally."

Stewart suspected that he suffered an engine failure at the Canadian Grand Prix, but in fact the problem Stewart encountered was related to engine heat dissipation.The chief tactician of Ice City said: "The problem Stewart encountered in Canada has nothing to do with the engine itself, but the heat dissipation problem of the bottom plate of the car appeared very early. We detected this problem during the safety car at the beginning of the race, but Stewart Cared for the car to perfection and then finished the race with a change in the way of driving."

At the beginning of this year, the Odmet team encountered a serious shortage of funds. They applied to the Liberty Media Group for advance payment of year-end dividends.However, this application must be approved by all teams before it can be passed, but in fact, due to the secret actions of Salvador, this batch of loans has not been able to be distributed to the Odemet team as desired.

The team COO said: "It's no secret that we've had serious funding problems this winter, but what we're really annoyed about is a team voting against our relief money in order to prevent our survival. .Especially during the critical period of car development such as November and December, the injection of 11 million pounds of funds has drastically changed the competitiveness of the car.”

Little Leysin driver Catildan has faced the challenge of being a full-year driver seat this season. As a 29-year-old rookie, his performance is far inferior to that of his teammate Alfredo, so he is also facing the challenge of being rejected. A tough test for other driver substitutions.In this regard, Katildan expressed his open-minded attitude. He believes that these rumors will not affect his performance.

"I get asked all the time if I have a future in F1. It's annoying because it's weird to be asked back when I think I'm doing well. I just have to keep going. Focus, improve a little bit every weekend, and I can survive in this sport."

The driver's press conference for the F1 Australian Grand Prix was held as scheduled on Thursday. Defending champion Stewart expressed his optimistic forecast for Leysen in the press conference.Stewart believes that Leysin will not only have an advantage at the Australian circuit, but also at other high-downforce circuits this season.

"Personally, I am more convinced that Leysin is the favourite. Not only because this race is Vergil's home game in Australia, but we have realized the strength of the Leysin team at the moment. The nature of their car will mean that They will have a lot of advantage on a circuit that requires high downforce and it will be very difficult for us to beat them this week."

This week, Team Leader Lesson and Teslock also expressed similar sentiments to Stewart.After analyzing the data of other racing cars, the Leysin team came to the conclusion that the Leyssen team leader believes that the performance of Leyssen's car in corners is far ahead of its opponents.

The leader of Leysen said: "Our problem lies in the speed. It is difficult for us to shake the powerful performance of the ice city racing car through the advantage in the corner." He also said: "The data we have obtained from it is limited, but we corner Road speed does have an advantage.”

Eddie Gao and Kendrick, two sharp drivers, said in the team's public relations event on Thursday that their current car has an obvious weakness, that is, the handling is often erratic.

"Because our car adopts a lot of radical settings, many new ideas lead to the lack of stability and consistency in the aerodynamic performance of our car. Therefore, we realized in the previous test that we need to adjust the balance and tuning settings of the car. Help us alleviate this symptom of the car. Overall, the car has been a little bit more consistent than before," said Diagau.
