Almighty Athlete Chapter 264: Benefits of the home court (8/20)


Formula 1 is a highly commercialized event, but no matter what kind of event, as long as you come to China, there will be an official background. So the staff of the Force China team just got off the plane and welcomed the official reception staff. To be precise, some of the leading comrades in the host area.

Obviously, the locals also know the importance of this game, and they are also willing to see Zhang Guan win the championship here. Holding a successful international competition can greatly increase the popularity of a city, which is equivalent to showing a beautiful business card. If domestic players can win the championship at home, it is even more profitable, which can rise to On the level of "political achievements".

So protection is necessary and sufficient! Of course, this guarantee will only be directed against the China Power Team. If other teams want it, stand by!

It was a deputy district chief named Miao who was connected to the convoy. Before that, the city leaders had appeared in person, but when it came to specific things, it was the Miao district chief who was responsible.

"You have any requirements, although you can tell me that it can be solved, we will help you solve it immediately, I will find a way to help you!" Miao District Mayor said, patting his chest.

The translator at the side translated this sentence to Ross Brown, and he immediately expressed his thanks.

Only Miao District Director said: "Now the track is completely closed, and it will not be open until the start of the race. Of course you are excluded. You can go to the test at any time, 24 hours."

"Thank you for your kindness. However, as a rule, we can’t open the car in advance. Our cars must be sealed after each stop, and they are not allowed to be opened until the start of the next stop. Said Rose Brown.

"Oh, that's it!" The Miao District Director seemed disappointed that he didn't feel that he had helped.

"Miao District Director, after all, we really have something to ask for your help." Zhang Guan said from the side.

"Oh? Please say it!" Miao District Chief came back to spirit.

"Motorsports are greatly affected by the weather. I hope to have an accurate weather forecast." Zhang Guan continued: "The reason why we were able to win the championship in Malaysia before is to judge the weather. It is also a very important part. The pitstop strategy is a part of the decision to win or lose, especially when it rains. The more accurate we want to know, the better. This will greatly help our strategy arrangement."

"No problem, I can ask the leaders for advice, borrow a meteorological satellite, and then transfer several professors from the university to set up a special meteorological team to serve you!" Miao District Chief said.

The translator told Rose Brown about the words, and Rose Brown first showed a surprised look, and then carefully reached the ear of Zhang Guan.

"Zhang, it takes a lot of money to rent a meteorological satellite, and it takes money to hire university professors. We don't have that much budget." Rose Brown said.

"Relax, we don’t need to pay a penny for them, they will get it for us." Zhang Guan said.

"Uh, are you sure?" Rose Brown is obviously not very adapted to the domestic way of doing things.

Ross Brown once worked for Ferrari for a long time. Even when he arrived at Ferrari’s home circuit in Monza, Italy, the organizers and the local government were very enthusiastic, but they also had to face money problems. Dear brothers settle accounts, Ferrari can't save a penny, and sometimes Ferrari even pays souvenirs to fans.

How can there be a free lunch in the world? Providing meteorological satellites for free and giving you a team of meteorological services for free. Rose Brown heard these and even felt that he had encountered a liar.

In the extreme sport of Formula One racing, it can be said that money is everywhere, and there is a saying that money hurts feelings, but in this sport, it is really hurt to not talk about money! In the local tyrant's movement, Qian Tan looked down on others when he lacked it.

Ross Brown looked at Zhang Guan subconsciously, and his eyes revealed obvious suspicion, apparently feeling that this Miao District head was somewhat unreliable.

However, Zhang Guan has never doubted the ability of the Miao District Head. There must be higher-level figures on the Miao District Head, and now it seems that the Shanghai Grand Prix has become a local official political task. In China, no matter what it is, as long as it becomes a political task, it will be smooth all the way.

The hearing on April 14 was held as scheduled. The whole process was nothing more than tossing and then tossing, and the content of the peeling was the same as the previous ones, and there was nothing new.

The attorneys of both sides are eloquent, but in the ears of officials of the International Automobile Federation, all of this is so dull. They have listened to the concepts of both sides for countless times, and even ears will start to grow cocoons. And those fierce rhetoric ~IndoMTL.com~ sounds to the officials, as if it is like "Why do you want to hit me", "I didn't want to hit you, it's a fist to hit you" and other nutritious words.

Finally, the full hearing is over, and both sides pose as winners. At this time, the losers will not lose. The final result will not be announced until tomorrow.

For the three teams of China Power, Toyota and Williams, the diffuser can be said to be the life and death of the team this season. Once the diffuser is found to be a violation, then the next three teams must The aerodynamics of the entire car are modified, which is equivalent to redesigning and manufacturing a car. The difficulty can be imagined.

The other teams are born with ghosts.

Red Bull Racing hopes that the double diffuser will be found to be in violation, because they are currently the fastest car outside the "Diffusion Gang". If the diffuser is found to be in violation, Red Bull is clearly the biggest beneficiary.

Among the two giants, McLaren is worrying about the "door of perjury" and Ferrari is a fan of the flames, but in fact neither team has stopped to develop double-layer diffusers.

In fact, these two giants can actually feel that even without a double diffuser, their own car is not as powerful as the Red Bull car. Since it is so much better than muddying the water, it may be a fisherman’s benefit.

In terms of Renault team, as the team’s performance is not satisfactory, the attitude towards the double-layer diffuser is also blurred. There is even some hope within the team that the double-layer diffuser is judged to be compliant and then played through the double-layer diffuser A turnaround.

The rest of the BMW Sauber and Red Bull teams obviously followed soy sauce and saw where the wind was blowing and leaning towards where.

Only the brave cannon fodder of Force India, like a death squad, rushed forward ignorantly with an explosive bag, to be continued.
