stand shoulder to shoulder

At this moment, the younger brother of the team said to Berlusconi: "I think this track is too hot, and the corners are also sharp. It must be tiresome. Two stops may not be enough, and three stops are necessary."

Two stops and three stops are all about the cars entering the pit lane several times to change tires during the race.

One more stop will take tens of seconds more time. In the F1 race where every second counts, it is not pleasant, and there is even a risk of losing your position.

So before Berlusconi responded, the Meteor strategist disagreed and said: "There is no need for three stops at all. The tires given by Pirelli will refer to historical data."

Leo also said: "Every station has a different tire compound, you don't have to think about it at all."

Berlusconi squatted down, put his palms on the ground of the track, frowned and said, "You will know after a lap of practice."

After trying the three tires at this station, I know when to stop.

Tao Li nodded: "Then run around and have a look."

After walking the track on foot, Tao Li and Leo went to the driver meeting in the competition area. This time Tao Li was not kicked out, but he was still on pins and needles.

"That brat doesn't even look down on Hope."

When Tao Li heard these words, he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and kept greeting Mikuqi in his heart.

The guy in that tweet gave the impression that he could only afford a second-hand car worth tens of thousands of yuan, but arrogantly looked down on Ferrari. Anyone who listened to it felt very...

Not to mention that Hope was there at the meeting, and Taury nearly died socially.

Tao Li sneaked a glance at Hope. The latter was a Swiss man, wearing a red racing uniform of a wealthy team, with yellow hair and a beard. His face was not easy to mess with.

Some people call Hope the second Paul Berlusconi, not only because the two are equally tough on the track, but also because the two are particularly cold in front of the camera.

At this time, Hope was sleeping.

Tao Li lowered his eyes and decided to leave after the meeting, trying to avoid being in the same frame as Hope.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the event officer said the meeting was over, Hope woke up, knocked on the round conference table, and said in a cold voice, "Tao Li stay here."

All the teasing eyes of the audience shot at Tao Li.

Tali closed his eyes.

Leo and Samli looked at Taoli worriedly, but Taoli himself was fine. No matter how scary Hope was, he was not as scary as Berlusconi, right?

Tao Li persuaded Leo to go back first, and said: "It's okay, we have a sense of proportion, and we will be investigated if we do anything."

The race officer, who had always been displeased with Tao Li, did not speak, and left the conference room first, followed by other racers.

Hope sat at the conference table with a cold face the whole time, without giving Tao Li a look.

Tao Li stood where he was, thinking that this distance was the safest, and Hope couldn't even spit on his face.

The last racer to leave the conference room closed the door, and there was a bang. Hope suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Tao Li with sharp eyes.

Tao Li's throat tightened, and he felt that Hope's eyes looked a lot like Berlusconi's.

"Hope, do you have anything to do with me?" Tao Li asked cautiously.

"I watched the Australian race from start to finish." Hope said as he stood up, his tall figure was very intimidating. "Especially in the part where you receive the award, you spray Berlusconi champagne."

"……Um."

Watching Hope approaching, Tao Li casually grabbed the back of the chair and held it tightly.

"So," Hope said, approaching Tauli, his voice lowered, "can you get Berlusconi's autograph for me?"

"Huh?" Tao Li was dumbfounded.

Hope said enviously and enviously: "He didn't get angry when you sprayed him champagne, and even laughed. You must have a very good relationship, and you will definitely get an autograph."

Tao Li blinked, and it took him a while to recover. He looked across at Hope, who had the body of a bear and the expression of a fan boy. Is it difficult to get Berlusconi's signature?

"I'll try to see."

Hope grinned, and slapped Tao Li on the thin shoulder: "Thank you, we must work hard for Sunday's game. I am looking forward to Berlusconi's smile."

"..." Tao Li nodded dully.

"Let's go, the practice match is about to start!"

"Okay." Tao Li followed behind Hope, and it took a while to remember to explain, "That tweet sent by Micucci—"

"You fell for his trick too, didn't you?" Hope turned around with an indignant expression on his face, "Berlusconi taught so well, even a tortoise deserves to be on the F1 podium, how could I be dissatisfied? Possibly ridiculed! I just want to applaud..."

"..." Compared with the tortoise, Tao Li thinks the monkey sounds better.

·

Tao Li came back from the executive building and entered the P room of the popular team. Looking left and right, he couldn't find Berlusconi, but saw his own racing car.

Different from the last stop, this time there are a lot of "small advertisements" on his car, which shows that Firman has won a lot of sponsorship.

but……

Tao Li hesitated again and again, but still stopped the passing team manager: "Hasn't my car number been registered yet?"

I got No.3 at the last stop, but can't I have a car number?

"Yes, Berlusconi sprayed it himself," said the team manager, "but he asked you to expose it yourself."

Taoli was taken aback for a moment, remembering that he found Berlusconi in the workshop once, and Berlusconi was polishing the racing car.

He walked around the car and saw some marks on the nose and sides of the car. He bent down and carefully peeled off the two layers of film.

Tao Li took two steps back, and the powerful white "17" on the nose of the racing car came into view.

This blue racing car with the number "17" is dormant in the P room, like a beast ready to go.

Tao Li couldn't help but bend down to touch it, the cold and smooth touch, like oil, rushed from his fingertips into his blood, making him boil.

"What are you touching?" Berlusconi's icy voice came from behind. Taoli turned his head and successfully received the helmet thrown by him. "The practice match is about to begin."

"Hmm!" Tao Li put on the fire mask and helmet, sat neatly into the cockpit, and murmured, "I have to protect my wife well."

Tao Li drove the racing car, and after warming up the tires, he started to do flying laps.

Berlusconi began to monitor the various data of the racing car through the server.

Taoli ran nineteen laps and radioed Berlusconi: "I have a tire problem."

Berlusconi asked the performance engineer, who looked at the tire data and said, "The data looks good."

Berlusconi frowned, and said to Taoli, "Stop first, I'll see what's going on."

"it is good."

Taoli pitted and stopped in the pit lane.

Berlusconi and the engineer jumped out from the surveillance area across the street and strode forward.

Tao Li came out from the cockpit, and Berlusconi and the others just arrived. The three squatted down and checked the tires one by one.

After [-] laps of the yellow tires, there is no granulation on the surface.

"There's nothing wrong with the tires," said the engineer, "and it fits the data."

Tao Li said distressedly: "But I feel that the down pressure is constantly disappearing. I guess this kind of tire will explode in a short time. I want to stop three times."

"Others stop for one or two stops, what competitiveness do we have for three stops?" the engineer asked back.

Berlusconi asked Leo about his driving experience, and the engineer introduced their work to Taoli: "Professional things are left to professional people, which is why there are so many people in the team."

The engineer came from Meteor's dynamics team, which was a key reason Berlusconi bought Meteor, so Taoli has great respect for them.

When the engineer said something, Tao Li nodded with a "huh".

The engineer continued to work hard: "We have installed nearly two hundred sensors on the car, and the data and changes of the car will tell us as soon as possible."

Tao Li was a little unhappy because he was driving, not the sensor.The area where he and his "wife" are in personal contact is much larger than the sensor!Data can only be auxiliary!

Tao Li still firmly believed in his feelings, and asked: "Then what if the equipment is too backward? Wouldn't the data be distorted?"

"You're talking about—"

The tall and slanted figure gradually fell on Tao Li and the engineer.

Taoli and the engineer looked up at the same time, and Berlusconi said thoughtfully: "Then try it."

The engineer froze slightly.

Tao Li couldn't hide his excitement, his tiger teeth looming: "Three stops?"

Berlusconi nodded: "You stop three times, Leo stops twice, let's see who is right and who is wrong."

When the Malaysian Grand Prix started on Sunday, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly, and the staff in the paddock were all wearing short sleeves.

The two commentators in the live broadcast room of the game began to comment while enjoying the coolness of the air conditioner.

"I have to sigh, Berlusconi is not only good at driving, but also good at building cars."

"That's right, they have directly ascended from the Earth Center Group to the Mars Group. Leo and Tao Li got third and fourth place respectively in the qualifying round." Commentator B said, "But have you heard that? Leo's two-stop strategy, Tao Li's three-stop strategy."

"Three stops?" Commentator A couldn't help complaining, "Three stops is too much, and there is no possibility of a podium. Even if all red tires are used in the future, it will not be of much use. It is impossible to compete with Hope."

"Hahaha, did you also read Micucci's tweets?" said the commentator B, who was obviously a fan of Hope, "I really admire Tao Li's arrogance, how dare he compare himself to Hope! He must have lost today Miserable!"

"He is young and energetic, and he also has two brushes and drives a Mars rover. As long as the strategy is correct, there will be no podium."

Commentator B smiled and shook his head, apparently not agreeing with Commentator A's words, he said: "I guess Hope, Fisker and Leo will be on the podium today, or Danby and Apelie will also be very good." possible."

However, after the start of the race, Tao Li overtook Leo at the first turn and was promoted to third place.

Afterwards, Tao Li and No.2 Hope had a very tight bite, and the time difference was only about one second.

"If Tao Li stops, there is still a possibility of winning the podium."

On lap [-], several drivers with red tires pitted to change tires, and Tao Li with yellow tires also pitted to change tires, and his position fell directly from third to tenth.
