The next schedule for F1 is the British Grand Prix.
The location of the race is the Silverstone Circuit in central England, about 100 kilometers north of London.
This is a legendary track, formerly a military airport during World War II. It has hosted the British Grand Prix since 1948, and became the venue for the first F1 World Championship in 1950.
Although it hosted the world's first F1 race, Silverstone is not actually the only venue for the British Grand Prix. Since 1955, the British Grand Prix has been held alternately between Aintree and Silverstone. By 1964, the Grand Prix was held alternately with the Hatch circuit. It was not until 1987 that Silverstone truly became synonymous with the British Grand Prix.
It can be said that over the years, Silverstone has experienced ups and downs and witnessed the development and glory of F1.
The track has been overwhelmed by the operational burden twice, with losses of up to 7.6 million pounds for four consecutive seasons. However, in order to preserve this unique and charming track, countless F1 industry insiders and British celebrities are working hard.
Even Queen Elizabeth once had a direct dialogue with F1 boss Ecclestone, forcing F1 to make concessions on the contract with Silverstone, and ultimately retained this track.
Not for anything else, just for the many miracles that have taken place on this track.
Silverstone has many straights and is very fast. The car is required to have excellent aerodynamic devices, which is very challenging for both the driver and the car. Abbey Turn and the last S-turn, Priory Turn and Lafayette Turn have quite large angles, which is extremely challenging. The driver's grasp of the braking point.
Even the car king Schumacher once broke his leg here, which shows how dangerous the track is.
It is also worth mentioning that the starting line at Silverstone is very weird, because the drivers waiting to start are lined up on a corner, so that the drivers at the back cannot directly see the signal lights and must pay attention to the front The movement of the riders.
Officially because of these characteristics, this track is full of variables.
Although many other teams are headquartered in the UK, as an authentic British team, Silverstone is equivalent to the home ground for the Williams team.
On the day of the game, Li Fanyu, Alonso, Claire and others came to the stadium together.
As the new shareholder of the team, Li Fanyu naturally has his own seat in the team's maintenance area.
Before the race, the two Amondero drivers had an in-depth communication with him. As a driver under his own banner, Li Fanyu shared with the two of them some of his insights into the high-speed straights and sudden corners like Silverstone.
His analysis was fully affirmed by Alonso, so Javier and Amondero now have more and more respect for their new club.
Before the start of the practice session, Li Fanyu came to the starting area after encouraging the two drivers.
Coincidentally, here he met his old friend.
The current president of Rysfast, Godfrey.
When Li Fanyu first started X-power, he came up on the back of Ruifa. It can be said that if Ruifa had not entered the Chinese market with the RF-V12, a cheating car, and lost the competition with Zhengxin who was weak at the time, Zhengxin would never have soared into the sky.
It is precisely because of Ruifa that Li Fanyu has such a wonderful journey.
Now that he saw this acquaintance, Li Fanyu naturally wanted to reminisce about the past.
Godfrey, who was chatting with his companion, also noticed Li Fanyu. When he saw the young chairman walking towards him, Godfrey made a wait gesture to his companion and then came up to him.
"Mr. Li, long time no see!"
Li Fanyu also smiled and extended his right hand to Godfrey: "Mr. Godfrey, please note that you and I are very close, but this is the first time we have met. The last time we took the photo at the airport During the commercial, you didn’t even bother to get out of the car and shake my hand.”
Godfrey chuckled, not embarrassed in the face of Li Fanyu's teasing, "Mr. Li, do you want to talk to me about this and the other, or is it Mr. Majek's way of saying that you ignored me at first, and now you Are you saying that you can’t reach me?”
Li Fanyu was stunned.
This old guy has become more and more talkative after not dealing with him for many years.
Well, I won’t be a press officer.
He chuckled, "No. It's just that I felt emotional when I saw Mr. Godfrey."
Li Fanyu looked at the two cars of Ruifa that had been pushed to the starting area, and pointed, "The team is good, I hope you can achieve good results today."
"Thank you. But..." Godfrey raised his eyebrows, "I am very worried about the Williams team. Zhengxin has done well in the past two years, but if I were you, I wouldn't be so early. Put your hand into F1."
Li Fanyu, who was about to turn around and leave, laughed when he heard this: "How do you say this?"
"Because F1 is a sacred place, it is not a place where upstarts and speculators can survive for a long time. Righteousness is good, but it still needs to be accumulated. Money, sometimes really cannot solve all problems."
When he said this, Godfrey looked quite proud.
There are currently 11 teams in F1. Mercedes-Benz, UEFA Europa League, Red Bull Team, and the four established teams of Switzerland and France form the first echelon, while Renault, Fiat, and Williams are in the second echelon. Force India and the like are purely for fun, and they belong to the kind of teams that are there this year but not necessarily the next.
Although Rifa is not the strongest among all the teams, it has always poured money into F1 for so many years and persisted in chasing on the track.
So Godfrey did have the capital to say this to Li Fanyu.
However, Li Fanyu couldn't stand this "admonishment" from above.
He frowned and said, "Sir, sometimes, latecomers may not be able to catch up. As for whether Zhengxin can go far on the road of F1, that is our own business, and you don't need to worry about it."
At this moment, the VIP manager of the gaming company came to the starting area and asked with a smile if anyone had placed a bet before the race.
Godfrey passed it and took out a hundred dollars from his arms: "What are the odds now?"
"Mr. Godfrey, Rifa's No. 1 Prinas has performed well at Silverstone before, and the current odds are 1.5 to 1."
"Okay, buy me Prinas. In addition, buy me two drivers from the Zhengxin Team. Their odds must be very high now, right?"
"Yes sir, Amondero's current odds are 1 to 5, and Javier's current odds are 1 to 4.5."
Hearing this odds, Li Fan smiled foolishly.
He took a deep look at Godfrey, took out the checkbook from his arms, and directly signed the amount of two hundred thousand pounds.
"One hundred thousand per person."
As he spoke, he handed it to the gaming manager.
