End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 204 Looking For The Future

The Ice City race engineer said, "This is currently Stewart's only engine. He will continue to use this engine in subsequent races. We will monitor them as always to make sure everything continues to be good."

Ice City will check the engine ahead of the next grand prix, but said there are no plans to bring in a second power unit to help Stewart.

Although Alfredo has made it clear that Leyson is his goal in Formula [-], he insists that he remains fully committed to Leyson for now.

Asked about the prospect of carving out a future with Leysin Racing, Alfredo said: "Baxter has more experience than me at the moment, but it's clear I'm still some way off from where I want to be."

"Of course I would like to be able to be earlier, but I need to show my quality in the game. If I do well, I will have a chance. So my focus now is still working in the small Leysin and doing my best for this. The team does its best," Alfredo added.

If Vergil chooses to transfer after the completion of the contract at the end of this year, and Alfredo can have an outstanding performance in this team, he may be able to get a seat in the Leysin team.

Katildan of the Leysin 1 team said that since he joined the Leysin 2102nd team last season, he has already started planning his future in F1.When asked about the future beyond [-], Hartley Catildan admitted: "I really want to be a full-time F[-] driver, I should think about how to make the most of it, how to make the right decisions and Work hard to keep improving and prove to everyone that I deserve to be here and stay here."

Citro admits that while Citro has successfully carried out some of its upgrade plans ahead of Australia, important upgrades are yet to come.

Asked when Citroen would be able to address the impact of the testing issue, the team's race director said an upgrade could come soon.

"We obviously weren't ready for the rest of the season and I'm glad we fixed the reliability issues this weekend," the team's race director said in an interview. Push quickly to the track."

The manager of the Porter team believes that the current allegations of collusion between the Porter team and Dongsheng by many teams are groundless.The team manager believes that these teams not only cannot find evidence that Porter cheated, but also increase the confidence of the team to achieve another success.

"Everyone can have an opinion, but many people's claims are unfounded. The Porter team is very proud of what they have achieved in the winter, and it is inevitable to be on the cusp. We, like all other teams, submit to the International Automobile Co., Ltd. During this period, I don’t think we have any suspicion of fraud, and all aerodynamic designs are in compliance with the rules, and all come from our own team.”

Kendrick, who joined the Ruijin team this season, successfully completed the race in Australia last week. Although he has experienced several races in F1, the Monaco still feels powerless to drive the F1 car.Especially the multifarious buttons on the steering wheel of the racing car made it difficult for Kendrick to adapt.

"In the low-level formula competition, every level we upgrade means that the downforce and horsepower of the car increase by a level. I can quickly adapt to the upgrade changes every time, but after entering F1, I found that this rule is no longer the same. Applicable. So much content that I have never seen before, the number of buttons on the steering wheel is crazy! I made a mistake in qualifying last week, so I don't think that result is representative. "

Although Stewart lost by a narrow margin in the Melbourne race, Dongsheng did have a clearer advantage.They have the "double insurance" composed of Santak and Daniel, and the two lived up to expectations and occupied two of the top three seats.As for the Ice City team, only Stewart fought alone in the front row. The other driver, Seaver, slid and hit the wall during qualifying, and only got the 15th starting position.

Stewart believes that if Bingcheng wants to compete with Dongsheng and other teams, it must ensure that there are two cars in the leading position to complete the tactical cooperation, and this requires Seaver to recover from the mistake in Melbourne as soon as possible.Stewart said: "Of course it is very difficult to be one against two. We are outnumbered in the game. But I believe that Seaver will do his best to fight with us. Last year we won with two cars, this year it is even more important, especially when Leysin and Dongsheng are double-teaming us."

The F1 competition operations director said that the technical rules created by multiple chief designers have made major breakthroughs in overcoming overtaking problems.The director of operation said that this problem has plagued the team for half a year, and the current breakthrough means that future cars can more easily surpass it.

"We have been working on this project for a long time, and now we are able to solve the problem of cars being close to each other without compromising the aerodynamic performance of the car. We have a new set of concepts to solve the turbulence effect of the aerodynamic package. Now the There seems to be a shielding magnetic field around these cars to isolate the car behind, and the car behind must have an advantage of 1.5-2.0 seconds to be able to complete the overtaking."

Danish driver Wesley unfortunately retired from the race last week in the No. 4 position. The two Porter cars that performed amazingly failed to convert their speed into points.Wesley believes that the team cannot guarantee that it will play the No.4 rapid strength in every race, so the heroic performance of the Australian Grand Prix is ​​not taken for granted.

“I never take the good performance in Australia for granted. We have to work hard for the next race. Our car is indeed fast, but my mentality is more cautious. The team will learn from the mistakes in the next race. We will grow together through failure and rise."

Porter's other driver, Easter, expressed a completely opposite view to Wesley's.Easter believes the Porter still has what it takes to compete for fifth place throughout the year and will surprise fans again at next week's Grand Prix.

"I'd rather retire in 5th place than fight for 15th place every race. We have a very good car, its performance is unbelievable and it brings infinite possibilities to our future. Hope. We are very much looking forward to its performance on other different circuits, and I am very optimistic that we should be able to achieve great results in the future."

Alex, the driver of Piaojiao, believes that the Piaojiao team in the new season has the strength to narrow the gap with the top three teams. At the same time, Alex also expressed his love for the track in Australia. "The results of the Australian Grand Prix are great news for us in the new season. The team headquarters has received very positive encouragement. Our current goal is to narrow the gap with the top three."

El Salvador's technical director believes that the FIA's punishment of Vergil's refund in Australia is accurate. He believes that the FIA ​​should uphold justice in terms of penalties, and severe penalties should not be commuted for drivers who fight at home. "I feel sympathy for what happened to Vergil, but we must use the rules to maintain the safety of the track. The race stewards have reasons to make such a firm penalty. The new rules should remain in effect from the first day and should not be made due to the identity of the driver. any setbacks."

Leyson's Vergil says he will be mindful of "disrespecting anyone" at Leyson as he mulls negotiations over his next F1 contract. "Of course, I may have more than one option next. This is the first time I have such an option, which is very exciting and great, but I still want to do it in the right way." Virgil said in an interview time indicates.

"I don't want to disrespect anyone in the team, whatever I do, Leysen has helped me a lot in my career, so in any case, I don't want to speak ill of them," added Vergil.

The Leyssen team boss believes ongoing media speculation is "annoying" and he is optimistic about Vergil's future.

"It's annoying that at every grand prix someone asks him if he's going to leave Leysin. But theoretically they should also ask Silver or Stewart or Santak," said the Leysen team leader.

Oddmet believes that the team has the ability to beat its direct competitors again in the 2102 season racing development battle, although the strength of the mid-stream group teams is getting closer.The chief operating officer of Oddmet said that the competitive landscape among the mid-range teams this season did not surprise him.He believes that the team can catch up from behind through follow-up research and development, although the task of "fighting for the fourth" has become very difficult.

"Previous competitions have told us that the gap between midstream groups has narrowed significantly. Last year we did better in research and development than our direct competitors, and this year we also need to complete this task. Our goal is to defend No.4, so we I will catch up and strive to get back to the fourth position." The operation officer added.

Oddmet is the latest team to release a car, but the car put into the race in Melbourne has made a lot of upgrades compared to the previous car.Moreover, the team will definitely upgrade the car in a planned way in the future.

Ruijin strengthened their technical team.The former Dongsheng engineer joined Ruijin Racing Team and served as the head of their aerodynamics.The technical director of the team welcomed his arrival, "I am very much looking forward to his arrival as the new head of aerodynamics, which means a further advancement of our project."

He joined Dongsheng in 2091, initially as a senior concept aerodynamicist, and later became the team's aerodynamic leader.
