End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 210
F1's race director said the track debris that caused Seaver's punctured tire to retire last weekend should not have been in the race, and no driver had reported the potential danger to the race.The team manager said the debris that Seaver crushed was the size of a fist and he considered the potential danger unacceptable.

"The track crew this weekend did a really good job of clearing it up, they were very good at reporting to us which parts of the track had debris and so on. But the debris that Seaver hit should be Alfred after the safety car came back. Much of what happened with Wesley, it was chaotic and didn't get the attention it deserved."

Citro has previously announced that it will bring a completely different car.But the team manager revealed to the media that although this car will indeed bring certain improvements, other teams will also bring the same scale of upgrades in this race, so the effect of this upgrade may not be obvious.

"95% of the teams will completely update their aerodynamics on the car. Everyone has the opportunity to make a major breakthrough, and our big upgrade may be buried in it. For us, it is looking forward to this car and the evaluation. The improvement in speed was equally good, and then our opponents failed to make similar progress, so we took the lead."

Stewart, the champion of Azerbaijan station last week, said that the complex and changeable track conditions in this game brought him the most difficult game in his career.Stewart said that due to the strong winds and changing track conditions on the day of the race, the driving method of this race needs to be more cautious than driving in the rain.

"Never in my memory has there been such a difficult race, which posed the highest challenge to the driver's driving level. When I won the race, I also had mixed feelings. Because my joy of victory comes from the I beat my opponents in the competition, but in this race I clearly knew that I was not the best performer, so although I felt happy on the podium, it always felt a little strange."

The exclusive supplier of F1 tires announced the tire selection plan for each driver on Tuesday as scheduled. The Bingcheng drivers each chose three sets of medium tires, five sets of soft tires and five sets of supersoft tires; Dongsheng chose two sets of tires. Four, seven matching ratio.Considering the heavy tire wear on weekends, the hard compound tires may have more outstanding performance; however, the resurfacing of the track at the beginning of this year has also relieved the pressure on the tires to a certain extent.

The manager of the Thunder Team believes that Gu Gaoyuan's potential has been seriously underestimated. He spoke highly of Zhang Yue's third place result in last week's competition.He said that the Thunder team cannot lose such an excellent driver, and he thinks the outside world should look at him with admiration.

In this regard, Zhang Yue responded: "I think I can achieve a lot in this sport, and I think my time will eventually come, because I have devoted myself to this work very hard. I will put my My hard work turns into giving until one day I can come and unleash my full energy. My goal is still to get on the podium."

The manager of the Xingjiao team said that since Baxter played for the team in the form of Leysen lease, the potential driver change of the Leysen team will also have a serious impact on the driver lineup of the Xingjiao.The team manager said that he was always preparing for the new season, but he also revealed the details of the 2103 car design to Baxter.

"We need to plan and be fully prepared for the worst-case scenario. We want Baxter to stay with the team, but if that option doesn't materialize, we need to find a backup. We've already started the car for the new season. The research and development work has been gradually carried out.”

Monaco rookie Kendrick achieved the best record of his career in the race last weekend. The No.6 result brought back 6 valuable points for the team.For this record, Kendrick said that due to the limited strength of the car, it is difficult to repeat the legendary performance in Baku.

"We have to be realistic because it doesn't happen that often. We had to be perfect in every detail throughout the weekend to achieve this kind of result. We shouldn't expect it to happen again, Instead, I should work hard to improve the performance of the car. The rebound of my state in this race is mainly due to the fact that I found the right way to tune the car. Diago’s car tuning does not apply to me. I always feel that the car is understeering .”

According to a well-known media report, if Daniel of Dongsheng Racing Team wins the world championship, Altaïr of Citroen Racing Team will join Bingcheng Racing Team next season to compete with Stewart again.

The media said that Altair is expected to leave Citroen, because his contract will expire at the end of the year, and Citroen has no ability to challenge the front row cars.It is said that Altaïr wants to move to a team that can provide a car that can compete with Stewart and Daniel.

The media's commentator said: "Ice City is Altaïr's first choice, although a driver's seat may appear in all three major teams next year."

He said that if Stewart cannot win the championship, he will not have the right to choose his teammates.Once Stewart wins the title, Altaïr may look elsewhere, as Stewart does not want to be partnered with Altaïr.Two teams, Porter and Pride, are also interested in signing the former world champion.

Ice City's Stewart revealed that he hopes Seaver will remain his teammate at Mercedes.

Both Stewart and Seaver's contracts are expiring, but it is understood that Stewart is close to reaching an agreement.But for Seaver, his performance in the first half of the season is likely to affect whether he will get a new contract.

But Stewart believes that Seaver's performance is enough to keep him in the ice city. "Siver drove very well, and he performed very well in the last game." Stewart said, "He partnered with me in the first season in Ice City. As my teammate, this is not an easy task. But he's been through a lot of challenges and he's been consistent."

Ice City's boss admitted Stewart's next F2102 contract will be delayed due to the team's poor start to 1.Speculation surrounding Stewart's F1 contract situation has continued in recent races. Although there is no official confirmation, the outside world basically believes that the defending world champion will renew his contract with the Ice City team.

The team boss hopes to sign Stewart a new contract, but said: "We haven't talked for a few weeks because we have a lot of competition with other teams and our priority is focused on racing."

Stewart also responded to this matter: "This is not a rush thing. I have made it very clear, and they have also made it clear that they want to continue, so this is an easy thing. It only needs to be finalized and signed."

Dongsheng Racing Team's Daniel said his experience in F10 over the past 1 years has taught him not to listen to outside criticism.In last weekend's race in Baku, Daniel attempted a radical overtaking at Turn [-] after the safety car was withdrawn. As a result, the car locked up and he was overtaken by Stewart and Gu Gaoyuan.

"I think when you grow up, you change your perspective on certain things, your perspective changes, your motivation, or the way you see things is different," Daniel said. "I think the most important thing is You're true to yourself and then I think you can listen less to what's going on around you, don't get distracted and enjoy your game."

Tesrock said his father was his harshest critic in F1.Tesrock has been involved in collisions before this and his father has publicly criticized him for it.

"My dad is the toughest critic in the whole world. If I can handle him, I can handle everyone," Tesrock said. "No one is perfect. You can always improve. I'm happy to be like other Listen and improve like a human being, these situations just make you a better driver at the end of the day."

In the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix last weekend, the two Leysin drivers fought directly on the track, and Virgil rear-ended Tesrock, causing them to retire at the same time.Regarding this incident, the FIA ​​did not issue further punishment, but now many voices pointed out that Leysen was obviously more inclined to Tesrock in handling this matter.

It can be seen from the replay of this game that Vergil's speed in the game is actually slightly faster than Srock, but every time he tries to overtake, he will be tenaciously defended by his opponent.The final accident happened at Turn 1. Virgil once again pulled his head and tried to complete the overtaking, but Tesrock had a defensive action of changing the lane for the second time, which directly caused the two cars to collide and both retired.

After the FIA, no additional punishment was imposed on the two drivers on the grounds that both drivers should bear certain responsibilities in this collision. No liability: "I think the race stewards were right in their decision to reprimand the two drivers, but if we look at it technically, when Virgil determined the lane, Tesrock changed the lane to block that lane. line, then Virgil should not bear any responsibility."

Now more and more voices believe that Vergil was the victim of this collision accident. In addition to Tesrock's alleged violation of the rules during this collision, more importantly, from the perspective of the whole game, Vergil's speed is faster than that of his teammates. Under normal circumstances, the Leysin team should ask Tesrock to make way for his teammates through team instructions to avoid a collision between the two on the track.But Leysen is currently more inclined to Teslock, so he can't make such an order. He can only watch the two fight hand-to-hand again and again, which eventually leads to tragedy.
