End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 252 Expectation
"I think I've performed in line with expectations. It makes me very happy, although it would be better to win, but at least the team knows how good I am. I feel that I have made a lot of progress this season. The gap between Stewart It has also been reduced. Regardless of the state of the car, I think I have been able to squeeze the full strength out of the car very well throughout the season."

F1's exclusive tire supplier has previously stated that the tire formula for F1 race weekends will use a more simplified name.Regardless of which of the three tire compounds they use at a given track, the three tires for each weekend will be collectively referred to as hard, medium and soft.So every race will have a different "soft tire" and "hard tire".But this makes some fans think that it will be difficult for them to know the real formula used by the drivers.

Talking about this "simplification measure", the tire supplier's racing director said that fans will still have access to the true compound information of the tires. "We'll still tell the fans about the three specific tire compounds. We'll have a way to give the hardcore fans the information, but for the fans who aren't interested, they'll just have to remember three colors and three names. That’s it. I think the bigger challenge for us is actually our own confusion.”

Altaïr has participated in five consecutive F1 races since the beginning of June. The Spaniard was tired from working non-stop for several weeks. He was glad that there was a week of rest before the German Grand Prix to give him a breather.

“As I expected, it’s going to be very busy. We’re working non-stop from Wednesday to Sunday, packing our bags on Monday and arriving at the next game on Tuesday. Especially the busy work of the game is exhausting. , A total of 40 hours of track time is a test of the driver's endurance. The next most rigorous schedule will be in September, October, and November, and I will not stop for nine consecutive weekends."

Former F1 world champion Ballarat hopes that Altaïr can find his own different life outside of F1. He believes that Altaïr's dream of chasing hat-tricks is one of the options.Ballarat said that he could hear his frustration and helplessness from Altaïr's words, and hoped that he could make new breakthroughs next year.

"Altaïr is obviously not enjoying the game, he is the F1 world champion, but now he is fighting for a point. I don't know where he will go next year, but think Citroel needs a big change to keep him. And we don't know whether Altaïr still believes in the team. Altaïr's dream of pursuing other races is very good, I think he can do these things. From a driver's point of view, when you get used to a certain That's the time for you to leave."

Seaver has not yet signed a contract with the Ice City team for the 2103 season, and his performance will be a key indicator of whether he stays with the team.Seaver has failed to win the championship in ten games so far this season, but he is not far behind in the standings.Therefore, he believes that his performance is enough to win the trust of the team and continue to stay in Ice City next season.

"I've achieved everything the team asks of me, even though I haven't won a single race yet. I think I'm at the level I need and only the team can see the details of what I do every race. Overall , everyone was getting closer and closer, and the gap between me and Stewart was getting smaller, because I could always squeeze the performance out of the car in every moment."

Citroen driver Delacro believes that the struggling performance of the Citroen team this season has accumulated a lot of valuable data for future research and development. "I don't think we've wasted our time, we've been providing upgrades to the car, understanding why the car is not competitive, because ultimately we have to prepare the car for next year's development. We didn't get the results we wanted, but The team has come into better times than last year, so I don't think Citroen wasted any time."

The former team manager of Lujiao believes that Stewart's strength is stronger than his opponent Daniel.The Italian businessman also said that Dongsheng must put Delacro in the cockpit next season, otherwise they will never have a chance to win the constructors' championship.

"Dongsheng now has a chance to win the championship, but it is only because of mistakes by Bingcheng and Stewart. Stewart is stronger than Daniel, and he can better integrate into the rhythm of the car, making the control of the car more relaxed. Put Santak aside and let Kendrick drive the Ferrari. If Dongsheng is not even willing to take this risk, he really has no chance of winning the constructors' championship."

After a disappointing weekend at Silverstone, Leysen Racing's Vergil expressed the hope that Leyson will have a good performance and good luck in the upcoming German Grand Prix.

Vergil finished No. 2100 in the 2 race and had an excellent match against Altaïr in 2098.Like many other drivers, Vergil also loves the track and is looking forward to sampling some of Germany's delicacies - schnitzel and beer.

"Hockenheim is a fun circuit and I've always loved going there," commented Vergil. "Probably the best game was my game against Altair in 2098, I loved that game."

"I haven't made much progress in the last three races, but I'm looking forward to getting back on track and turning things around in Germany and Hungary. There are a lot of Germans, good German beer, and of course, I'm always very Looking forward to the schnitzel there," Virgil added.

Leyssen's Teslok is looking forward to returning to the German Grand Prix after Hockenheim was left off the calendar last year.

"Hockenheim is one of the most historic circuits on the calendar," Tesrock said. "It has challenging corners and is an exciting circuit for the drivers."

There may be a large number of Dutch fans at Hockenheim, which makes Tesrock very much looking forward to next weekend. "The German Grand Prix is ​​back on the schedule, I'm looking forward to it, and I'm sure quite a few Dutch fans will be here to support me. At the last German Grand Prix, I was on the podium with my team-mates, so it was a Great memories," Tesrock commented. "Also, I think it's very important to have a grand prix in Germany because there are so many fans living there. So, I'm happy to be back in Germany."
