End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 251 Consolation
During the British Grand Prix, it was reported that Liberty Media Group plans to reform the current F1 points rules, from the current top ten drivers get points to the top fifteen drivers get points, but Altaïr is not interested in this: "At present, the strongest drivers always occupy the position of the points zone. For small and medium teams, if you can get back 2 points, it is a great moment. I remember DeWitt in the Monaco Grand Prix with No.9. When you get two points back for a finish, that's a miracle in the sport, and if the points rules change, it's going to make the sport mediocre."

Vineuve, who previously drove the Salvadoran car to the annual championship, believes that the current Salvadoran team has completely gone extinct.The two drivers of the Salvadoran team have scored a total of four points this year, ranking last among all teams.During the British Grand Prix, El Salvador's racing cars frequently experienced various strange malfunctions.

"The team is dead. The team is out of management and if they had been more careful before choosing a successor to take over the team, the result would have been very different. You can see what happens when you choose this team What a mistake. No team dares to use two inexperienced drivers, it will not help the team's performance."

F1's exclusive tire supplier has decided to name only the soft, medium and hard tires for next year.In fact, the types of tire formulas next year will still be as complicated as this year, but in order to facilitate fans to identify racing tires and avoid confusion, tire suppliers have made concessions in terms of tire naming.The department head said:
"It's not clear whether it will affect our running philosophy. We're just going to reduce the number of compounds to three next year to avoid confusion. We also need to coordinate the color of the compounds with the broadcasters because everyone says we are yellow. There is too little distinction between tires and white tires."

It is rumored that the second team of Leysin hopes to replace the underperforming Katildan with British teenager Tithom next year.But the former is currently unable to obtain super license points, which makes the second team of Leysin in a dilemma in terms of driver selection for next year.They wanted the FIA ​​to arrange a test drive for the driver to obtain a driver's license, but the FIA ​​rejected their application.

The Leyssen 1 team said: "He performed very well in the lower-level competitions, but he still has no driver's license points. How will our next young driver brought into F[-] realize his dream?"

Tithom's failure to get a driver's license is actually related to his personal conduct. He once participated in a British lower-level race in 2099. He even surpassed ten cars under the safety car situation, just to lead the scoreboard with a malicious collision in the front row. By.The incident resulted in him being banned from any motorsport competition for up to two years after 2099.

The FIA ​​wants to improve rearview mirror visibility on contemporary racing cars, and the FIA ​​will bring together the technical directors of all the teams for a workshop in Hungary.After qualifying in Austria, the incident of Daniel blocking Ballester led to discussions about the visibility of the mirrors.The FIA ​​also hopes to help drivers increase the visibility angle of the rearview mirror, and the final implementation will start in Singapore.

The head of safety said: "From a safety point of view, we require all fleet mirror mounts to be used only for lens placement, and any aero enhancements to be used only as a secondary purpose. My suggestion is to put The new position of the rearview mirror is stipulated on the sidepod of the car, and I hope that the teams can come up with their own proposals, so as to avoid unnecessary arguments."

A few days ago, the F1 race officer punished Wesley, the second team driver of Leysin, for his behavior, and then Yinhua driver Gu Gaoyuan expressed his satisfaction with the punishment result.

Wesley and Gu Gaoyuan fell into a fierce competition in the final stage of the race. The driver of the second team of Leisen collided with the driver of Yinhua in the fight and forced Gu Gaoyuan to drive off the track.Wesley’s action caused him to receive a 5-second time penalty after the race, and thus dropped to 13th place, and Gu Gaoyuan also successfully entered the scoring zone after a bad start.

Although Wesley said the penalty was unreasonable, Gu Gaoyuan said he was happy to see his competitor punished for his funny and stupid actions.

"With two laps to go, Wesley pushed me off the track. I gave him enough space and a drive line, but it still wasn't enough and we collided again and that was it for me. I lost my position," Gu Gaoyuan said.

"I think this action is completely unreasonable. I am very happy to see that the FIA ​​decided to punish Wesley after the race. This also allowed me to get back a point that should have been mine."

Although Gu Gaoyuan finally broke into the top ten, he still could not be very satisfied with his British Grand Prix.

"I wasn't happy with the points I was able to get, the accident at the start affected my race badly. I got a bump on the rear end of the car, and I was trying to avoid the accident in front of me, so I just spun and fell to the end of the line."

"After that we got back into the game and we had a very strong race. I also took full advantage of the safety car to get back into my position."

After replacing Dongsheng's parts this season, the Ruijin team has made great progress.The Swiss team has scored points many times this season, and Kendrick even allowed the team to enter Q3 twice.In the constructors' standings, last season's Ruijin was close to the eighth-ranked Leysin II.Talking about the competition for the eighth place in the standings, Wesley, the driver of the second team of Leysin, expressed his concern that the team would find it difficult to compete with Ruijin.

"Ruijin is very, very fast, so I think we may struggle to defend our position in the standings. And the parts they get from Dongsheng, that's the biggest gap. I think they will be stable in the standings from now on, so It's really hard to stop them."

"We need to seize the opportunities that may lead to points. But right now we don't have the ability to get points consistently."

Seaver believes that Ice City's recognition of him is a comfort. Seaver, who has performed very well this season, was very close to the championship twice in the Chinese Grand Prix and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but was hit by the safety car and a flat tire respectively. The podium was missed.In the Austrian Grand Prix, the Finn, who was originally in second place, also retired due to a car failure.After failing to win in ten races, Seaver said that although he has yet to win this season, he feels comforted by the recognition given to him by the Ice City Team.
