End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 220 Make a mistake
After the game, Stewart praised the team's upgrade work, and he also said that winning the championship of this race is a matter of course: "I need to thank the team for their excellent work. They let us have a perfect weekend. I have been with the team for a long time. It's been almost 6 years and they've been pushing the envelope and never giving up, so I really need to thank them. It was a great day and I enjoyed the game a lot. As for the standings, honestly I didn't pay much attention That thing, but right now that's really where I want to be."

In contrast, teammate Seaver was a bit unlucky today. Starting from No.2, he had a collision with Daniel shortly after the start, which caused his own tire to blow out. After entering the pit to change the tire, his ranking dropped once. At the end of the team, he chased hard, but only brought back No.7.Daniel was also penalized for 5 seconds because of this accident, but in the end he brought back a No.5.

Seaver looked very depressed after the race: "My start was very smooth, I was completely in my own lane, but then I felt that a guy hit my car and a flat tire was really unlucky. It directly ruined the race. Lost my race, I was trying to overtake the rest of the race, but I also had a lot of wear on my tires and had to pit again. We had a really good car this week, but unfortunately it didn't go well And of course I want to congratulate Stewart, he's done a fantastic job."

In the just-concluded F1 French Grand Prix, Daniel, who started third, crashed into Seaver in front of him before the first turn. The accident caused both drivers to fall to the rear of the team.Daniel received a five-second penalty for this, and at the same time Daniel explained that the cause of his accident was due to being too close to the car.

"My starting speed was good, but I had nowhere to go because I followed the two Bingcheng all the way. I was responsible for the accident, and I also tried to brake early to avoid the accident. Since there was no room for choice and The loss of downforce was so close to the car, I could only open up the steering angle a little bit, so I just unfortunately crashed into Seaver's car."

Tesrock, the runner-up who won the French Grand Prix, spoke for Daniel in the post-race press conference. He believes that when F1 drivers make similar mistakes, they should not attract criticism from the outside world.In Tesrock's eyes, this kind of media violence has no practical significance, and Daniel only needs to learn from the wrong experience.

"The next time you interview Daniel, don't say to him: 'You should change your racing style, rethink the way you drive' or something. I don't think Daniel did much wrong in this accident, he Just learn from the accident and go on his own way. I've heard that so many times and it really messes with the driver's mind."

The ice city team consultant believes that in the French Grand Prix accident, the responsibility for Daniel's accident is far more than a simple five-second penalty.The team consultant believed that Daniel's wrong move led to the destruction of both drivers' races, and Stewart also said in an interview that if Seaver hadn't been hit, Ice City could bring back the championship and second place.

"I think the stewards of the tournament gave Daniel a light penalty when dealing with this problem. The five-second penalty is an incomprehensible penalty in my eyes. I think Daniel should get more penalty time, five seconds like this The innocuous call barely affected the game, but Seaver's game was completely ruined."

Due to a serious accident caused by the two teenagers competing for positions at the third turn of the grid, Shuangshuang withdrew from the home race on the first lap of the race.The accident triggered the safety car and was also investigated by the race after the race.The race officer decided to give the two drivers a reprimand and punishment after studying the video. Gu Gao said in principle that his car had been damaged before the accident happened.

"After studying the video evidence, the stewards of the race believed that Gu Gaoyuan was too aggressive when he entered the third turn on the track. He didn't notice the car behind him and cut directly to the apex of the bend; at the same time, Alfredo's late braking before the turn was also too aggressive. It was fierce, which led to the accident. Therefore, both drivers will be disciplined and punished for this accident.”

Baxter suffered engine component damage in the last three laps of the race, and the car directly lost 160 horsepower. Baxter dropped from No.6 to eighth to finish the race.The Spanish driver believes that if it is not for the virtual safety car in the last two laps of the race, it will be difficult to keep his points in this race.

"I owe a thank you to the virtual safety car, it kept my points! It's hard to swallow a result like this, because I stayed in sixth for the whole race. When the problem happened in the car in the last five laps, my mentality almost collapsed. Yes. It's been a great weekend for us and we hope to find the problem and get more points."

In the F1 French Grand Prix, Leysin driver Vergil remained in third place, but was overtaken by Zhang Yue at the end of the race and missed the podium.The Australian summed up the problem by stating that the sharp drop in speed was due to damage to the front wing during the race and that his car was suffering from severe understeer.

"The result was a bit frustrating. Two laps before my pit stop, my car's left half front wing was probably damaged by debris on the track, and then my car was severely understeered. After changing to the soft tire , my speed itself was struggling, and the right side of the front wing of the car also had problems afterwards. We lost downforce and were eventually overtaken by Zhang Yue."

Kendrick continued his excellent performance this season at the French Grand Prix. After breaking into Q2 in four races, he entered Q3 for the first time in Paul Ricard's career.The lack of competitiveness in the sharp car meant that the Monaco rookie, who started eighth, ended up in tenth, but looking back on his race, Kendrick believes that a mistake in the race let him down.

"Potter and Pride were strong this weekend, but we were actually pretty surprised by the end of the race that we caught them. But I think [-]th is close to our limit today, and maybe the best result would be One more point."

"But I'm disappointed with my mistakes. I tried to get close to Wesley and I made a mistake at Turn 2 and Alex passed me. It's disappointing to lose a place like that."
