Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1569: : Goal, Red Bull!
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
Although I am not optimistic about Zhengxin entering F1 as an independent engine supplier, in response to the new regulations on replaceable engine suppliers in the F1 season that were just promulgated this year and the commitment to introduce more independent engine suppliers to the Red Bull Racing Team, Balancing the car manufacturer's commitment to the power gap with non-manufacturer teams, Bernie quickly applied for Zhengxin's engine.
As the news of Zhengshin becoming F1's latest power provider was officially announced by F1, it caused quite a stir in the industry and among fans.
For a Chinese car company like Zhengxin to enter F1 in this capacity, the opinions from the outside world are very different.
In China, there is naturally a voice of expectation.
This is F1!
What does F1 stand for? A collection of the world's top technologies in the automotive industry!
This news has really excited Zhengxin fans in China, and there are many voices looking forward to the Zhengxin engine to shine in F1 events.
For this reason, Pinche.com specially used a large space on its homepage to promote "China Dynamics Enters F1", crazily calling for Zhengxin Group.
However, foreign media netizens are full of doubts and disdain for the latest development of Zhengxin Group as an F1 engine supplier.
For example, the American Auto Racing Weekly, the editor-in-chief Ariel personally wrote an article and published an article titled "The rules are getting worse as the rules change, and the threshold is lowered and lowered."
The article actually mainly criticizes F1 for changing the rules of the competition day and night. However, because Zhengshin joined the power supplier lineup this time, it was also used by Ariel as a major argument to prove F1's "bottomless relaxation" of the parts supplier review system.
In the article, Ariel said: "My association with F1 was in the 1980s, when I was an ignorant teenager. Until now, I still clearly remember that the F1 field was It's so exciting. It's hard to imagine that after 40 years, F1, which I have always loved and had hope for, would decline to such an extent.
Look at what F1 officials have done over the years. In the past forty years, F1's rules have been significantly changed twenty-six times, and minor revisions have been carried out almost every year. What’s even more ridiculous is that among the twenty-six major changes, more than half of them were changed shortly after they were implemented.
God, I really can’t imagine that F1 in the 1980s could output up to 1,300 horsepower with just a 1.5L turbocharged engine. However, the current 1.6Lf1 engine is not much better in performance than forty years ago. progress. Y'all know I'm referring to that **** fuel flow limit rule.
And now, what is even more ridiculous is that F1 has to ban all kinds of weird and unnecessary rules, which greatly limits the momentum of the F1 engine to climb to a higher level. What's more, the engine suppliers have been severely misled. Even a guy like Masanobu, who has no experience in F1 racing and can only play formula in FE, is suddenly on the F1 supplier list. (I think you know what level of power FE is, and you should also know that FE cars are toys that use batteries and motors to race.) Regarding the 'better rules' that Bernie said, I just want to raise my eyebrows. Middle finger, say FKU. ”
After Ariel bombarded Bernie and Zhengshin, the famous Italian F1 commentator Comario also complained angrily on his Twitter;
"Red Bull Racing should not be in F1! This guy who makes money by making drinks and playing F1 has never recognized this sacred arena. In the past seven years, I have heard Red Bull threats 16 times In my opinion, they do not exist on the track to challenge the extreme, but simply to make profit and win the championship! A team that threatens to launch at every turn is like a team with pumpkin heads on Halloween! , the nasty little devil who threatens to cause trouble without giving money!
What’s even more funny is that Bernie would change the F1 rules again because of the threat of a little devil. This is undoubtedly a loss of the big to save the small. What's even more outrageous is that in order to meet the unreasonable demands of Red Bull and some small racing teams, F1's solution turned out to be to introduce more independent power suppliers like Zhengxin with no strength or experience at all.
This will undoubtedly further lower the competitive level and excitement of the entire F1!
It is really the worst rule change in the history of F1. Coincidentally, F1 gave this worst decision and matched it with an even worse power supplier.
The results are self-evident. If a team uses the special rules for changing engines during the season and happens to use Zhengshin's engine, then we will undoubtedly see a season that may be the most embarrassing in history.
God will prove my prophecy! ”
As a famous F1 commentator and a world-renowned racing event host, after Comilio’s tweet was sent, countless fans gave their solidarity and support.
What's more, protests were launched to boycott F1's change of engine usage rules and Zhengshin's entry into F1.
On the third day after F1 announced the list of independent engines including Zhengshin, more than 200 fans gathered in front of the F1 headquarters in Vienna, holding banners and shouting loud slogans.
It was in this environment that Li Fanyu started promotional activities targeting various non-factory teams.
His first choice was the Red Bull Racing Team.
In September 2004, Ford, who was behind bars, brought an end to his F1 era and announced the suspension of all F1 events. It was in this year that in Austria, which has an extremely developed automobile industry and a strong motorsports atmosphere, the vitamin energy drink manufacturer Red Bull officially incorporated the Jaguar team and the Keyes factory, officially renamed Jaguar Red Bull, and started its own business. The long journey to F1.
F1 is the least expensive competition in the world, which is not a problem for Red Bull. With its almost irreplaceable position in the vitamin drink industry, Red Bull has no shortage of money.
But even with Austria as its backing and the support of a huge automotive industry, Red Bull has no way to develop an engine that is reliable and can meet the intensity of the F1 competition.
So from the very beginning, they have chosen to cooperate with various engine suppliers.
It can be seen from the names on the Red Bull Racing Team's historical transcript that all the results achieved by the Red Bull Racing Team over the years have the support of engine manufacturers.
First it was Cosworth, then Mercedes-Benz AMG, and then it was an eleven-year cooperation with Renault.
What’s interesting is that almost every engine supplier has been disliked by the Red Bull Racing Team.
After losing for three consecutive seasons recently, team boss Matt Schitz finally couldn't bear it anymore and criticized Renault's engine in public, causing the team to lose the pole position that should have been better.
After being scolded by the Red Bull Racing Team for more than ten years, Renault finally couldn't bear it anymore. It reorganized the factory team last year and played personally, no longer preparing to get involved with Red Bull.
Although this is a sad story, it is a perfect opportunity for Li Fanyu!
