End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 257 Renewal of Contract
"I really struggled in the F1 cockpit at the beginning because I didn't know anything about tuning the car. But my teammates always relied on the advantage in this field to surpass me because I was just a guy who was able to drive the car. A young driver who drives the fastest car but doesn't know how to adjust the performance of the car."

In the last British race, Ruijin driver Kendrick retired due to a technician error.The Monaco teenager, who had the opportunity to score in multiple games, could only miss out on points.But the upcoming F1 German Grand Prix this weekend is Kendrick’s favorite place, and he hopes he can achieve another great result in this race.

"I am very familiar with the Hockenheim circuit, especially in the years when I participated in F3. It is a circuit that requires comprehensive technology. The most vivid memory is the stadium section, where often I am very happy to welcome the return of the German race to the F1 calendar, and I hope we can continue to maintain the pace of progress of the previous races and continue to fight for points."

The former F1 boss has criticized the current rules, which he says are preventing drivers from racing normally. "When I was in charge of F1, technology was far more important than the rules of the game," he continued. "As it stands now, they should have written 'do not race' at the very beginning of the rules."

The former Xingjiao team leader said that if Dongsheng did not replace Santak with Kendrick, who is now advancing into the team, Dongsheng might not win the championship.

"They should choose to drop Santak and replace him with Kendrick, otherwise they will never win the constructors' championship. They have to take the risk of using a young driver," he said.

In addition, he believes that Dongsheng also has a chance to win, but it depends on the performance of the Bingcheng team. "Of course Dongsheng has a chance to win the year-end championship, but the premise is that Stewart makes a mistake." He said, "The reason why Dongsheng is currently leading is simply because of bad luck in the previous few games of Ice City."

In his opinion, Stewart also has the upper hand in this season's contest with Daniel of Dongsheng Racing Team. "Stewart is definitely better than Daniel, he can find his own rhythm and control the car very well."

Ricky's Baxter believes that despite the team's strong start to the season, Ricky can improve any aspect of the current car.

"The recent performance of the Porter team is very surprising, but the goal of the team is to be a little bit ahead of them, to the level of Leson and Dongsheng." Baxter said, "To some extent, the top three That's still our goal. On the car, we have the ability to improve every aspect. I can't point to any aspect that we can't improve on at the moment."

He stressed that his comments were constructive and not critical of the team. "I'm saying this as a positive, not a criticism. If we want to be world champions again, we have to improve in every way, and that's constructive," Baxter added. Some areas may need more improvement, but a little bit of everything. I've met the people in our factory, they are very smart, they are fully capable of doing this."

Citroen's Altair said the team and drivers knew they needed to improve their performance in qualifying first.

Altaïr said: "We knew we needed to work on improving our qualifying performance on Saturday to give ourselves the best chance to score points in the race. But we also saw that, even as we did earlier, we were in the It is still possible to push forward and secure points in the race, so our aim is to do the same next weekend in Germany."

Altair's team-mate Delacro, who has just eight of Citroen's 48 points this season, says he hopes to find his form at Hockenheim, where he has podiumed in the lower divisions .

"We know that Hockenheim is a challenging circuit with long straights that require a lot of power and also a slower section at the end of the track where you need good downforce from the car and Traction out of corners."

"Citron, El Salvador live in their own world"

Once-great F1 team Salvador and Citroen need radical changes, said an engineer who asked not to be named.Both British teams have experienced the pinnacle of motorsport but are now struggling in 2102.

An engineer working for both teams said in an interview: "They are mature teams with loyal staff. But a lot of people in Citroen and El Salvador don't know anything else. They don't know how F1 evolved, nor Know what the other teams are like."

"If you tell them how other teams have developed, they won't believe you, they live in their own world and believe their team is the greatest."

Stewart officially confirmed his contract extension with the Ice City team today.The team made the announcement ahead of the German Grand Prix.It is reported that the new contract will last for two years and will expire at the end of the 2104 season, with an annual salary of up to 4000 million pounds.

The German team has hinted many times that Stewart is close to renewing his contract. The defending champion himself also stated that he has no desire to join other teams, but the news of official contract renewal was not confirmed until today.After joining the team in 2097, the Briton has helped Ice City win four constructors' world championships and three drivers' world championships.

It is reported that the basic annual salary of the British is 3000 million pounds, but it can reach 4000 million pounds after bonuses are included.

Talking about this contract extension, the Englishman said that he had not considered leaving the team at all. "This contract extension is actually a 'going through the motions' between me and the team. The team leader and I have already started negotiations during the winter break. I am very happy to be able to officially sign the contract and announce the news today. I have been a part of Ice City since 20 years ago, and I feel happier than ever in this team."

"I am in tune with the team, so I am also looking forward to continuing to win for the team and continue Bingcheng's glory. I have high trust in Bingcheng and believe that the team can continue its strong performance in the next few years. "

The decision to renew for two years also means that Stewart will play for the Ice City until his final season under current technical rules.Therefore, the British have the opportunity to consider joining other teams before the introduction of the new F2105 rules in 1.

Multiple sources show that Stewart's teammate Seaver is also close to staying with the team, but Ice City has not officially announced a contract extension with the Finn.
