Almighty Athlete Chapter 220: yielding

Ross Brown looked at the title of the document in surprise. He couldn’t believe what he saw. He hurriedly opened the second page, and the picture that came into view first made him Ross Brown had to believe what he saw in front of him.

Ross Brown glanced at Zhang Guan: "How did he have this thing? This thing, even if I have just entered the design stage, I have not disclosed my thoughts to anyone. The news is absolutely There is no possibility of leaking. How did a layman like Zhang Guan know? Did other people think of this design? Who is it? Newey?"

The first person that Ross Brown thought of was Red Bull Racing CEO Adrian Newey, the man known as the legendary racing designer, he was the only person in the world who had led three different teams to win the world championship In the future, Vettel's four consecutive world championships are driven by Neway-designed cars.

"Zhang Guan was sent by other teams to test me? Unlike, the possibility is not too great, the Honda team is gone, and other teams can’t test me specifically. If you want to test, you can also test Ferrari or Mai. Karen, a team that has already been disbanded, such as the Honda team, how could someone specifically test it?" Ross Brown looked at the document again and confirmed that it was the design that he had conceived for a long time. Solution looked at Zhang Guan.

"Strictly speaking, this design is a loophole in the rules of the International Automobile Company. Even people who are very familiar with the FIA ​​rules may not be able to think about these. How does Zhang Guan know this design?" Ross -Brown thought to himself.

The word "double diffuser" on the document makes Ross Brown feel particularly dazzling.

"The diffuser, by creating a pressure difference between the airflow and the surface of the body, to obtain the downward pressure and press the body on the road. The diffuser is one of the main sources of downward pressure in Formula 1 cars. The resulting downforce accounts for 40% of the total downforce of the entire body." Zhang Guan's speech rate gradually increased while observing the expression of Ross Brown.

Downforce is very important for Formula One cars. The weight of Formula One cars is relatively light, so if there is not enough downforce, the vehicle will definitely be unstable when driving, especially when cornering Even more so. At the same time, the downforce can cause greater grip on the tires, which makes it easier for the car to obtain fast acceleration.

As a team, of course, to do everything possible to increase the downforce of their cars, and in recent years, a series of changes to the rules of the International Automobile Federation, in fact, are aimed at reducing the downforce, the International Automobile Federation It is hoped that by reducing the downforce of the car, more overtaking will appear on the field, and the racing will become more beautiful.

On the opposite side, the expression on Ross Brown’s face is very satisfying to Zhang Guan. He then said: "If the central diffuser of the diffuser is designed as a double layer, a V-shaped channel is added at the top so that the car can be The air flow that was originally lost through the diffuser is used to give the car extra downforce. Am I right? Mr. Brown?"

"Theoretically this is the case. But the tail of the car's tail vertebrae needs to be adjusted." Ross Brown said unhappy, because his secret design was told by Zhang Guan.

"But I think it's not enough to just have a double-layer design. If we can make a small hole in it..." Zhang Guan's smile is more intense, he continued: "I have on the fourth page of this material Speak."

Ross Brown turned to the fourth page, and the picture above surprised him again.

"The method of opening holes, I just guessed that he has not entered the substantive design stage, how could he know!"

Zhang Guan ignored Rose-Brown’s surprise, and he continued: “We made a small hole in the double diffuser, and the airflow will be led to the important channel of the diffuser through the waist of the car. Low air pressure is created in the parking space, which greatly increases the efficiency of the diffuser."

"This design is theoretically feasible, but in fact it violates the rules! According to the rules, the bottom of the car can't be opened." Ross Brown said immediately.

"That is not a violation of the rules, it can only be regarded as a hole in the rules. The International Automobile Federation requires that it is not allowed to make holes in the bottom of the car. Although the diffuser is installed at the bottom end of the car, we can also think that it is installed in The side of the rear of the car, in the latter case, can't be considered the bottom of the car! This is just a reasonable use of the rules, isn't it? Mr. Brown?" Zhang Guan looked at Ross Brown.

"He really is blind, he is really familiar with these, and even the loopholes of this rule can be found!" Brown leaned on his sofa.

Rose Brown just said that "violating the rules" was actually a deliberate trial. However, when Zhang Guan said "reasonable use of rules", Rose Brown was already convinced that Zhang Guan was prepared.

Zhang Guan is of course prepared. He prepared a lot for this negotiation. He even went to learn the aerodynamics of the car. He also read the F1 rules carefully, plus his Memory, finally made this kind of double diffuser.

Of course, the double-layer diffuser drawn by Zhang Guan is still far away from being used in a car. It will take countless experiments to produce finished products. However, as long as the design concept is put forward, such a racing car can design the final product.

Just listen to Zhang Guan and then say: "I think this design can help a team win the next year's championship, Mr. Brown, what do you think?"

"That's true." Brown nodded. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, but in fact he already knew that he had fallen into a disadvantage during this conversation.

For Ross Brown, the double-layer diffuser is his killer. Before Honda team announced its withdrawal from F1, Ross Brown had already started some research on double-layer diffuser, so when Honda team announced its withdrawal At the time, Ross Brown was not in a hurry, because his design can be used in any team to create a top-level racing car.

Formula 1 is the most cutting-edge sport in the world. Any small hole in the car and the angle of any wing are involved in aerodynamics, which may affect the speed of the car. Any small hole, any angle, is also as strict as possible. So don’t look at it. It’s just a double-layer diffuser with a small hole, but it’s such a small difference that it is enough to bring about earth-shattering changes to Formula One.

But now, this design is not only controlled by Ross Brown, but also by Zhang Guan.

"Mr. Brown, we bought the Honda team together. We use this brand-new design to win the world first. We use this brand-new design to conquer the world! This is exactly what I am looking for today. I sincerely want to cooperate with you!" Zhang Guan stared at Ross Brown, and then said: "Of course, if Mr. Brown really does not want to cooperate with me, then I can only take this design and talk to other teams. , In exchange for the position of an official driver!"

If the first few words are the statement of Zhang Guan, then it can be said that it is the threat of Zhang Guan.

Ross Brown knows that if the design falls into the hands of Ferrari, McLaren, and Renault... even if it falls into the hands of independent teams like Red Bull, they only need to spend After two or three months of wind tunnel experiments, you can find the most perfect car configuration and design a fastest car. At present, there are still four months before the start of the next season. Four months is enough for those of the world's top car designers to complete a shocking car!

Ferrari and McLaren may not give him an official driver position for Zhang Guan because of a design of Zhang Guan, but Red Bull Racing is not sure. Although Red Bull is rich, it is an independent team after all. In recent years, Red Bull’s performance has been tepid, and this design that allows Red Bull to enter the ranks of the crown, plus the advertising effect of the Zhang Guan world’s strongest athlete There is a great possibility to impress Red Bull.

Ross-Brown took a deep breath, he also hoped to rely on the design of the double diffuser to fight a turnaround, how could this thing fall into the hands of others, so now he has no choice, He must cooperate with Zhang Guan, or he must succumb!

However, there is one thing that Ross Brown is most concerned about. He asked: "Mr. Zhang Guan, if we cooperate to buy the Honda team, who will the team listen to? Is it decided according to the equity allocation? "

"Equity allocation can be discussed slowly, but I can assure you first, no matter what the proportion of equity between us, all the operational aspects of the fleet, of course, you decide, including me, will also obey your arrangement "Zhang Guan said immediately.

Ross Brown, an old guy who has been mixed in Formula One for decades, is first-rate in terms of contacts and experience. Zhang Guan knows nothing about the team management department, so even if he holds the team in full, he can’t find it. To the second person who is more suitable to lead the team than Ross Brown.

Ross Brown nodded with satisfaction. He has been a wage earner for half his life, and now he hopes to be the boss, and the partner also said that he would listen to him. This is the best condition he can get.

"But I may find some sponsors. You know, there are quite a few sponsors. I think many of them should be interested in sponsoring the world's top racing competition." Zhang Guan continued.

"It's no problem at all~IndoMTL.com~ Even if you paint the car with a trademark, I have no opinion." Brown said readily. After all, he is also one of the bosses of the future team. He also paid for it. Naturally, he hopes that the more sponsors, the better.

"Of course, you have to guarantee the position of my first driver. I don't want to buy a team myself, but I want to be a test driver!" Zhang Guan added with a smile.

"The team boss will of course become the team’s first driver. But Mr. Zhang Guan, I still hope you can prove your ability in racing. I don’t need you to have the level of a top driver, as long as you can reach the level of a general driver , Even if it's a little bit worse, I can accept it." Ross Brown said straightforwardly. Now he has started thinking about the team's interests.

"You are really a very qualified team CEO!" Zhang Guan laughed.
