End of the Century Talented Racer

Chapter 51 Knowing
"Daniel became more anxious and made mistakes, and made mistakes at critical moments: In the first game after a short break, Daniel won the championship in Belgium strongly, and the point difference with Stewart was also close to seven points. A few days later, he moved to Monza, Dongsheng The team won the pole position in Milan after eight years, and still took the first row. Although Teslovin took the pole position, it was unanimously believed that Dongsheng would use some tactical strategies in the race to help Daniel get the victory.

However, on the first lap after the start, Daniel's car spun in the competition with Stewart, and he had to chase from the last place.When he finally won No.4, the Briton won the trophy for the sixth time this season, and at the same time re-expanded the points lead.

The Dongsheng loyal fans in the audience were expecting a perfect victory, an awards ceremony dominated by drivers wearing the Dongsheng jersey.So there was booing from the crowd when Stewart took the top podium.However, the loss of this game was triggered by Daniel.

Dongsheng had no problem with Teslovin's tactical strategy, but when he followed Santak who did not pit, under the influence of turbulence, Dongsheng lost its power advantage in qualifying.In order to prevent being preempted by Stewart after a late pit stop, Teslovin could only use new tires without reservation, giving the Briton a tire advantage in the second half of the race.

On the surface, it was Santak's obstruction that cost Teslovin the coveted victory.However, the Bingcheng team's tactics were successful, thanks to Daniel's "suicide" on the first lap, exposing Tesrock to the firepower of the two Bingcheng drivers.In fact, Bingcheng fought back in its own way, because Stewart lost to Daniel in this way in the opening Australian Grand Prix, and it was Tesrock who played the obstacle at that time.

Assuming Daniel doesn't finish last on the first lap, Dongsheng will help him pass Santak, who can hold off Stewart, and the driver will be able to catch up to 10 points.This in and out, Daniel lost 23 points in Monza, and once again exposed his biggest weakness.

Daniel believed Stewart hadn't given him enough space and the collision had occurred, but the stewards disagreed.Former 2097 world champion Rosenfeldy pointed out that the spin was Daniel's own fault, and that if he continues to make mistakes, it is impossible to beat Stewart this year, not to mention that he has wasted too many opportunities.

After Azerbaijan, France, and Germany at home, the accident in Monza is Daniel's fourth mistake in the few games that have ended this year.If you count the crash at the starting line in Singapore last year, in just one year, the frequency of his mistakes is far more than that of the previous four consecutive years when he won the world championship.

Anxiety may be the biggest reason for Daniel's frequent mistakes.After qualifying at Monza, Daniel was dissatisfied with Dongsheng's arrangement after seeing Santak take the pole position.The car order for the final sprint was: Santak, Stewart, Daniel and Tesrock.Thanks to the characteristics of the track, the rear car can make good use of the wake brought by the front car to gain extra straight-line speed.Although Daniel was already faster than Stewart, Tesrock, who was the last to cross the line, was 0 seconds faster than his teammates, and his average speed was just 15 km/h ahead.It is conceivable that if Dongsheng switches the order of appearance of the two cars, under normal circumstances it should be Daniel who gets the pole position.

"We'll discuss it later," Daniel said to Dongsheng's race engineer on the radio.He declined to say at the news conference what he wanted to discuss with the team, and insisted he did not need the team's help in the race.But his words and deeds are the same as when he was in Leysin in the past. Every time his performance is not as good as his teammates, he will feel unhappy and question the team's attitude towards him.Otherwise, how could he have disobeyed Larsen's command twice in the 2089 Turkish Grand Prix and the 2092 Malaysian Grand Prix to surpass Centrella?The results of those two incidents: the previous one ended in a collision of two cars, causing the team to lose the top two places in hand; the latter almost led to another tragedy. "

"Hansen refused to admit his mistake. Former F1 boss: If he doesn't change, no giants will want him: In the F1 Italian Grand Prix last weekend, Hansen of the Leyssen team directly knocked his opponent off the track while defending Santak. , for which he was punished by a 5-second penalty time from the competition. Hansen seemed very unconvinced by this. He has always refused to admit his mistake. Many F1 people have expressed concerns about this willful genius.

Judging from the pictures on the scene, there is no doubt about Hansen's defensive violation, and this is not the first time he has done so. Out of dissatisfaction, he even stated that it was Santak who hit him instead of the other way around.At the press conference after the race, Hansen also refused to admit that the crash was his fault.

After the incident a few days later, Hansen still seemed brooding. He said that he could not agree with the penalty at all: "I still cannot agree with that decision. I have seen the video. Obviously I was just defending. Racing, you have to race against the clock, our cars touched each other, maybe I could give him a few millimeters more space, but he was already on the white line."

Hansen was deducted another 2 points on his super driver's license because of the crash, and Hansen was also very dissatisfied with this: "It depends entirely on the stewards of the race. Some people will make penalties, while others will not. I Don't think it has anything to do with the rules. The penalty decision has been made and I won't lose any sleep over it. So far I've got seven (super license) points to go and seriously the penalty system is a Freak, but I'm not worried."

Hansen's stubbornness is regarded as a personality by many fans, but in the eyes of many F1 professionals, it is likely to affect his future development. The head of F1 said that if Hansen does not change, no wealthy team will be willing to take him in the future: "I don't think any world champion team will want him, and the privilege he enjoys in the team is even higher than that of Alonso. .In my opinion, neither Dongsheng nor Bingcheng would want such a driver.”

The F1 race director also warned Hansen implicitly: "I don't think you pay a lot of attention to the punishment of the race when the battle is intense, but I'm sure we will have a little discussion on it in the next driver briefing. We told the teams that normally we would give the driver a free pass, but unless you get an extra advantage from it and keep it, we will give the driver a time penalty."

It seems that there are quite a lot of hot-tempered racers in the F1 arena, and even in the F1 arena, there are also many spectators who like to watch the fun!
