Chapter 632 The Dollar With Wings

The press conference after the race did not have much new ideas. The three drivers Zhang Guan, Barrichello and Hamilton, together with Ross Brawn, were interviewed by reporters.

Then, another thing that aroused people's heated discussion appeared again.

During the race, when the safety car was dispatched, Trulli of the Toyota team once surpassed McLaren Hamilton, and the rules require that when the safety car is dispatched, it is not allowed to overtake. Trulli encountered a 25-second penalty for this, but the race Later, the Toyota team appealed, saying that Hamilton deliberately let Trulli overtake. Trulli thought that Hamilton's car had a problem, so he overtook it.

Then the FIA ​​investigated the video at that time and found that Hamilton did give way at that time, and Trulli did pass after Hamilton gave way. When Trulli overtook Hamilton, McLaren also raised Trulli's illegal overtaking to the race stewards, which made Trulli fined for 25 seconds. This was clearly McLaren deliberately luring Toyota into a foul.

But this is not the crux of the matter. The crux of the matter is that the "testimony" provided by Hamilton and the McLaren team experience when questioned by the race officer is completely inconsistent with the facts. Hamilton and the McLaren team have always denied giving way, but they refused to provide radio conversations at the time. But Hamilton yawned, and said in an interview that he gave up the car as a team order. And this was the sensational "perjury gate" at that time.

In the end, the FIA ​​canceled Hamilton's points in Australia, and this incident lasted for several months, and Hamilton even almost retired because of this kind of thing. The whole McLaren has also become sinking this season.

...

Newspapers and magazines related to racing are all reporting on "perjury".

"I really didn't expect the incident to be so big. It seems enough to give McLaren and Hamilton a headache for a while." Zhang Guan put down a racing magazine in his hand.

"This is good news for us. Although McLaren's car is a bit uncompetitive this year, Hamilton's driving skills have not really been said. Now that he is in trouble, it is one less threat for us. "Ross Brown said.

"Speaking of which, regarding the kinetic energy recovery system, hasn't Mercedes-Benz proposed a solution yet?" Zhang Guan continued to ask.

"No. I also specifically inquired about the news from Ferrari. They may get the kinetic energy recovery system in the next race. This technology is not mature enough. In the Australian Grand Prix, instead of making Ferrari faster, Instead, it did them a disservice." Ross Brown continued: "There is another piece of news, the International Automobile Federation will hold a hearing on the double-layer diffuser on April 14, and it is estimated that it will be announced before the start of the Chinese station. Is the double diffuser a violation."

Zhang Guan nodded, and said, "It seems that our double-layer diffuser is fine."

"Are you so sure?" Ross Brown asked.

"Of course, unless the International Automobile Federation gives up the Chinese market. A Chinese team is the biggest beneficiary of the double-layer diffuser. Just imagine, if the International Automobile Federation dares to announce the violation of the double-layer diffuser before the Chinese station, it is estimated that Don’t even think about coming to China to hold F1 in the future!” Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"That's true." Ross Brown nodded: "Let's talk about this weekend's race first. Malaysia Grand Prix, Sepang Circuit. Drivers' nightmare!"

"The drivers' nightmare? Why do you say that?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Because of the weather. The place in Malaysia is really too hot. In previous years, the Malaysian Grand Prix was held in summer. The room temperature was close to 40 degrees, and it was very humid. The drivers had to run a full 58 laps. This is simply hell." What a torment! Some drivers would rather retire than run for two hours under such circumstances.” Ross Brown spread his hands, and then said: “But now the race time has been changed to spring, and the number of laps has also become 56. Circle, the conditions are much better than in previous years.”

"Malaysia in April, it must be thirty degrees?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Yes, high temperature and high humidity, this is a great test for the driver. I remember that in 2006, Alonso encountered a drinking water system failure on this track, and he had no water for most of the race. Drink, I almost collapsed in the end, and I was put on the podium. Moreover, the climate in Malaysia is changeable, and it is likely to rain during the game. We must be prepared for the rain fight." Ross Brown looked at it with some hesitation. Looking at Zhang Guan, he went on to say: "There is a big difference between the rain fight and the dry field. If it really rains, you don't have to fight hard. If it doesn't work, we will withdraw from the race and save our energy to prepare for the China race."

"China Power, that new team just established this year, won the first and second places in Australia! But we have nothing!" Omi roared loudly: "Didn't you see that guy Zhang Guan? The cheering look on the podium? Didn’t you see Zhang Guan’s arrogant look at the press conference after the game?”

"Mr. Omi, it's only natural to celebrate on the podium after winning the championship. Even if Schumacher stood on the podium, he would celebrate like that. As for the press conference after the game, we all I know that Zhang Guan is targeting the Australian reporter." An engineer below said.

Omi's face suddenly darkened. He really wanted to fire the engineer who contradicted him immediately, but he knew that this was England, not India, so he couldn't do that.

"That's not the point I want to say!" Omi snorted coldly, and then said: "What I want to say is, why can a new team win the top two places, but we can't? My family was in the team last year. I spent more than 100 million U.S. dollars on the road, isn't it better to have a new team?"

"Mr. Omi, in comparison, we have made great progress compared to last year. We were last in almost every stop last year, but our ranking this year has risen to the middle, maybe in the next Malaysia Our team will get the first points in every race." Another engineer said with a very proud look on his face.

And several other engineers also showed yearning expressions. It is obvious that getting a point is already a great success for them.

This scene made Omi completely speechless. At this moment, Omi suddenly felt that his 500 million US dollars might really have grown wings and was about to fly away...
