Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1573: :The little pony felt that the road was narrow
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
As someone who has loved racing since childhood, F1 racing is simply a mythical existence for Li Fanyu.
Although he has experienced the baptism of Le Mans, Dakar and FE, in fact, when it comes to racing, F1 is more attractive to him;
Participating in Le Mans, Zhengxin uses mass-produced sports cars, while Dakar and FE both use its own electric models. Although it is technically at the level of the next era, it is still incomparable to F1, which represents the top technology in the automotive industry.
At Williams Factory, Wang Rui has led the Xcar team and factory technicians to assemble car No. 2 bit by bit.
It must be said that the engineers and technicians at the Williams factory all have unique skills.
Under normal circumstances, if a family car unfortunately breaks a part. Even if it seems like a minor problem, it will have a group of auto mechanics working around your car for a long time, and after an unimaginable amount of trouble, the auto repair shop still can't give you a 100% sure answer.
If the car needs to be completely dismantled and reassembled, don't expect to get the car back within a week.
But in F1, rebuilding a car from scratch is a common task for team technicians. After each race and each test, the F1 car will be immediately sent to the factory to be completely disassembled so that each part can be inspected and improved.
In order to gain an advantage on the track, being able to dismantle and assemble the car as quickly as possible is also part of the competition. If a team's car is damaged during practice on an F1 race weekend, technicians will repair it directly on the track.
In F1, time is performance and the life of the team.
Li Fanyu participated in the entire assembly of car No. 2.
From installing the chassis, to the front suspension and brakes, to the power system, rear suspension and fixed wing, to the nose cone, underbody and body. After a set of procedures, the technicians only spent six and a half hours.
The whole process was outrageously complicated. The hundreds of meters of wiring in the chassis alone made Li Fanyu's scalp numb just looking at it.
The body of the F1 racing car is extremely compact, and every wire on the chassis must be placed on the ideal track in an orderly manner. Any problem with any wire may directly cause the driver to withdraw early from the race.
Once all components are installed on the chassis, they must ensure that they do not move. Under the brake pedal, a small bolt wrapped with a wire is enough to pose a threat to the driver's safety, and just a little movement of the fuel tank port may cause oil leakage. , a little friction may cause sparks and cause combustion.
It was such a complex and precise work that the technicians only spent half an hour.
In fact, not only Li Fanyu, but also Zhengxin engineers who often participate in FE racing development have to admit that there is still a big gap between FE and F1 in terms of technical support.
This has benefited them a lot.
"This is **** technical work, get rewarded!"
When the entire racing car was assembled and the technicians raised their arms habitually and shouted "done", Li Fanyu clapped his hands and praised them.
Claire on the side smiled slightly at this disguised compliment: "What you see is just one side of Williams, Lee. I promise, our driver will surprise you even more."
Last year, the Williams team formed a new lineup. The 21-year-old Swedish driver Sapolis and the 19-year-old Spanish driver Amondero, known as "Little Massa", form the youngest driver lineup in F1.
The person who came here for testing today was Amondo.
Li Fanyu doesn’t watch F1 much recently and has no special impression of the driver from two years ago.
But looking at his watch, he had his first impression of this legendary little driver - he was not punctual.
"Claire, it's already ten past nine, when do we start?"
Yes, according to the testing process, the "little massa" should have been in place ten minutes ago.
When he said this, Claire realized the problem and quickly asked her assistant to call to urge her.
In order to complete the assembly of the racing car, Li Fanyu got up early and arrived at the factory at around two o'clock in the morning. But now that the car is assembled and the driver is not in place, everyone can only wait where they are.
After about ten minutes, Amondo arrived late in his sports car.
Claire has always been strict in managing the team. When he saw that the young driver whom the team had put so much effort into training was twenty minutes late, he couldn't help but get angry.
Faced with Claire’s question, Amondero, who didn’t even put on flame-retardant clothing, shrugged, “Boss, it’s not that I was late on purpose. But as a driver, I can’t accept the team’s decision to temporarily replace the engine. I agree. I have been dealing with Mercedes-Benz engines for half a season, and now I can't accept replacing such an unproven power. You know, this is my first F1 season. It's too bad and it will have an impact on my career, so I ask you to carefully consider whether to temporarily change the motivation this season."
Li Fan felt so stupid when he heard the young Spanish driver speaking in broken English while looking at him and saying something that was almost treasonous to the leadership of a team;
Damn it!
The team I bought myself uses my own engines, but now even my own drivers refuse to drive?
What the **** is this?
Playing with emotions?
Are you too **** qualified? !
So when Claire was communicating with Almondro, Li Fanyu directly intervened and said to Almondro: "What is your usual score on this test track?"
When it comes to results, Amondero is very proud.
"About 1 minute and 11 seconds. The best time is 1 minute, 9 seconds and 29 seconds. This was the test when I joined the team last year, breaking the historical best of this test track."
Looking at the proud look on the other person's face, Li Fanyu nodded deeply.
The pony feels that the road is narrow at first, and the chick complains about the low sky when it first flies!
Damn it, do you really think that calling yourself Massa is so awesome?
Today my brother will let you see what real technology is!
"Okay."
After speaking, he walked directly to the factory.
I found a set of technician's flame-retardant suits and helmets, and put them on myself amidst everyone's surprised gazes.
His appearance frightened the management of the Williams team.
F1 is no joke!
Not to mention how much damage the car crashed, if the new boss had any bad intentions, the team would be ruined.
"An accident occurred at the Williams team's testing ground. Li Fanyu, the team's controlling shareholder, died in an accident while testing the No. 2 car. It has become a curse that the Williams team boss will have a car accident."
For no reason, such a piece of news appeared in Claire's mind.
You know, your father, Frank Williams, the founder of the team, was paralyzed in a car accident and has been in a wheelchair for more than 20 years!
If Li Fanyu does something bad again, the team may become a joke to the entire F1.
"Li, what are you going to do?" Thinking of this, she didn't care about educating Amondo and chased after him directly.
Li Fanyu put the fire mask on his head, turned around and looked at Amondero, and said calmly: "I need to demonstrate the performance of the new engine to my driver."
Unlike the surprise of everyone in the Williams team, Wang Rui and Zhengxin XCAR engineers on the side smiled unkindly when they saw this scene;
"Brother, his best time is 1 minute, 9 seconds and 29 seconds, which is amazing. You have to work hard!"
Seeing Li Fanyu step onto the racing car without hesitation, everyone booed.
