Chapter 610

U.K.

Ross Brown walked over with a blank sheet of paper and said at the same time, "Your super driver's license has been approved."

"Oh? Let me take a look. This is a super driver's license! It looks more like a diploma." Zhang Guan said.

"You describe it very aptly. The super driver's license is indeed like a graduation certificate." Ross Brown continued: "It's a pity that you still failed to catch up with the pre-match test in Barcelona."

"It's okay, by the way, our pre-competition test results are very good, Barrichello took the first place in the overall score." Zhang Guan said.

"Yeah, the double layer diffuser works. But what I noticed is that Williams and Toyota have also made changes to the diffuser. One of them has holes in the diffuser, and the other has added drainage channels. But they are not as thorough as our changes, and their results are also very good. In addition, the aerodynamic kit of the Red Bull racing car is very special, and their results are also good." Ross Brown continued: "But we still can't underestimate Ferrari and McLaren, with two weeks to go until the official start of the race, will strengthen their cars."

"Brown, believe me, our racing car is the fastest because we have you as a talented designer." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Thank you for your compliment." Brown bowed and continued, "But you, I'm afraid you will spend the next two weeks on the track."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.

"We need you to test the car constantly, sometimes even at night, you will be very tired. So you need to be mentally prepared." Ross-Brown added: "This is Barrichello. Impossible to do."

"Oh?" Zhang Guan became interested, and sat upright, waiting for Ross Brown to explain.

Just listen to Ross Brawn and continued: "In recent years, there have been many inexplicable rules in F1, one of which is the 'young driver training program' that was implemented this year. You know, this year's Formula One canceled the mid-season test, There are also restrictions on wind tunnel testing and pre-race testing. And this 'young driver training program' can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the limited testing. Drivers, each driver can have an additional 15,000-kilometer test period from December 1st to the start of the new season next year."

"15,000 kilometers? I'm afraid there is no fleet to use it up? You can't burn the engine alone." Zhang Guan asked.

"It is indeed endless. The International Automobile Federation originally hoped to use this method to encourage more newcomers to enter Formula One. The so-called drivers who have driven a Formula One car within two years but have not participated in a race should They are all test drivers of various teams, and they are all young people with potential, but they usually have no chance to drive a car, but now, this rule is equivalent to giving them a chance." Ross Brown continued: "We have no money Hire a test driver, but you qualify as 'have driven a Formula 1 car in two years but not raced', so you're the only one to test."

"Okay!" Zhang Guan nodded helplessly.

"Don't look like this, you should feel very honored. Because you are not the only big star who meets this condition, such as Schumacher of the Ferrari team..." Ross Brown made a long sound.

"What? Schumacher? Did I hear correctly? This is a training program for young drivers." Zhang Guan asked.

"Although Schumacher has retired, he still has a super driver's license, so he is still a driver, and he has tested every new Ferrari car, including the F2008 of Ferrari last year, so he also meets this requirement. Conditions." Ross Brawn laughed and said, "Well, it's ridiculous, Schumacher, the car king of Formula One, has actually entered the list of the 'Young Driver Training Program'! That's why I said that there are always some inexplicable things recently. rule."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Jandel, the technical director of the team, walked in.

"Two bosses, there is bad news. Force India has reported violations of our double-layer diffuser to the International Automobile Federation. The International Automobile Federation has accepted Force India's report." Gendel said.

"What should come is still coming. Gendel, prepare the written materials! I believe that the International Automobile Federation will hold a hearing in the near future, and we may have to respond to the lawsuit." Ross Brown said.

"Okay, Mr. Chairman." Gendel said. He was about to leave when Zhang Guan stopped him.

"Wait a minute. Did Ferrari or other teams take any action on the double-layer diffuser? Or did they complain to us?" Zhang Guan asked.

"That's not true. According to the news we have received so far, only one team, Force India, has filed a complaint against us." Gendel said.

"Only Force India!" Zhang Guan nodded.

"What? Are you still disappointed?" Ross Brown signaled Gendell to go out, and at the same time said to Zhang Guan: "Don't you wish the other nine teams complained about us?"

"No, I just think it's a little surprising that big teams like Ferrari and McLaren didn't get involved." Zhang Guan said.

Zhang Guan vaguely remembers that in the 2009 season, the Ferrari team took the lead in filing complaints about the double-layer diffuser, but now Ferrari did not participate, but the Force India team, which was at the bottom, jumped out first, which obviously deviated from Zhang Guan. Crown tracks in memory.

Ross Brown looked at Zhang Guan, and he continued: "You don't seem to be worried about this at all! Are you so sure that we won't be convicted of violating the rules?"

"Of course. The International Automobile Federation will definitely not judge us to violate the regulations." Zhang Guan nodded: "And I think Ferrari may have started to study the double-layer diffuser."

"You know Ferrari quite well, but it's not possible to start research and development, but to definitely start research and development!" After all, Ross Brown came out of Ferrari, and he knew Ferrari even better. He went on to say: "But Ferrari They'll be happy to muddy the waters, you figure it out, and it won't be long before they make a statement in support of Force India, um, lip service.

...

Ferrari took the lead in reporting the double-layer diffuser incident in history. As a result, the International Automobile Federation determined that the double-layer diffuser did not violate the regulations. Ferrari refused to accept and appealed, but the last result was still to uphold the original judgment.

It seems that the Ferrari team is very opposed to the double-layer diffuser. In fact, the International Automobile Federation announced that the double-layer diffuser is not in violation on April 16. own double diffuser. Apparently the Ferrari team has been clamoring to ban double-deck diffusers while developing its own double-diffuser, intending to trick other teams. But other teams are not stupid, and they are not slower than Ferrari to use double diffusers.

In fact, this non-violation result also reflects the values ​​​​of European and American societies. If there are loopholes in the rules you make yourself, then you can’t blame others for taking advantage of the loopholes to gain benefits. Faced with omissions, European and American countries will learn from their mistakes and be more rigorous when formulating rules next time. . Instead of spitting out too much money from the cash machine, the cashier must be arrested and sentenced to several years.
