Although he is not optimistic about Zhengxin entering F1 as an independent engine supplier, in response to the new rules for replaceable engine suppliers in the F1 season just issued this year, and the promise to introduce more independent engine suppliers to Red Bull Racing to balance the power gap between the car factory and the non-car manufacturer, Bernie still quickly completed the application for Zhengxin's engine.

With the news that Zhengxin has become the latest power provider of F1 was officially announced by F1, it has caused quite a stir in the industry and among fans.

For a Chinese car company like Zhengxin, entering F1 in this capacity, the voices of the outside world are very different.

In China, there is naturally a voice of expectation.

It's F1!

What does F1 stand for? A collection of the world's top technologies in the automotive industry!

This news really made the domestic Zhengxin fans excited, and the voices of looking forward to the Zhengxin engine shining in the F1 race abounded.

To this end, Pinche.com specially used a large page on its homepage to play the publicity section of "China Power Enters F1", which was a crazy call for Zhengxin Group.

However, netizens in foreign media are fully skeptical and disdainful of the latest developments of Zhengxin Group as an F1 engine supplier.

For example, the editor-in-chief of Auto Racing Weekly, Ariel personally wrote an article titled "The Rules Are Getting Worse and the Worse the Rules, and the Threshold Is Lowering Lower".

In fact, the article is mainly to criticize the F1 side regarding the rules of the race, and the style of changing the rules of the day. However, because Zhengxin joined the lineup of power suppliers this time, it was also used as a major argument by Ariel to circumstantially prove the "bottomless relaxation" of F1's review system for spare parts suppliers.

In the article, Ariel said: "My relationship with F1 was in the 80s, when I was an ignorant teenager. I still vividly remember how passionate F1 was back then. It's hard to imagine that, after 40 years, F1, which I have always loved and hoped for, would fall to such a point.

Look at what F1 officials have done over the years, and in the past 40 years, the rules of F1 have been changed 26 times, and minor repairs have been staged almost every year. What is even more absurd is that more than half of the 26 major changes were changed and then implemented not long before they were changed.

God, I can't imagine that F1 in the 80s could produce up to 1,300 hp with just a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and that today's 1.6-liter F1 engine is not much better than it was forty years ago. You all know, I'm referring to the damn regulation of fuel flow limits.

Now, even more nonsensical, F1 does not ban all kinds of bizarre and unwanted rules, which greatly limit the momentum of F1 engines to climb to higher levels. It is also heavily mixed in terms of engine suppliers, and even a guy like Zhengxin, who has no experience in F1 racing and can only play formula in Formula E, has made it to the list of F1 suppliers. (I think you know what level of power Formula is, and you should know that Formula E cars are toys that race with batteries and motors), and I just want to give my middle finger up and say FKU to what Bernie calls 'better rules'. ”

After Ariel bombarded Bernie and Zhengxin, the famous Italian F1 commentator Comilio also complained angrily on his Twitter;

"Red Bull Racing shouldn't be in Formula 1! This guy who makes drinks and makes money playing Formula 1 has never identified with this sacred arena. In the last seven years, I've heard sixteen Red Bull threats. In my opinion, they don't exist on the runway to push the limits, but simply to make a profit and win the championship! A team that threatens to launch at every turn is like a nasty little devil with a pumpkin head on Halloween who threatens to mistreat if you don't give money!

What's even funnier is that Bernie would change the rules of F1 again for the sake of a little ghost. This is undoubtedly a big loss to protect the small. What's even more outrageous is that in order to meet the unreasonable demands of Red Bull and some small teams that play tickets, F1's solution is to introduce more independent power suppliers like Zhengxin who have no strength and experience to speak of.

This will undoubtedly further reduce the level of competition and excitement of the whole F1!

It was the worst rule change in F1's history, and coincidentally, F1 gave this worst decision an even worse power supplier.

The results speak for themselves, and if a team uses a special in-season engine change rule and happens to use a Masashi engine, then we will undoubtedly see what could be the most embarrassing season in history.

God will prove my prophecy!"

As a well-known F1 commentator and a world-renowned motorsport host, Mirio's tweet was sent to countless fans with their support and support.

What's more, a protest was launched to boycott F1's change in the rules of engine use and boycott Zhengxin's entry into F1.

Just three days after F1 announced the list of independent engines including Zhengxin, more than 200 fans gathered in front of the F1 headquarters in Vienna, pulling banners and shouting loud slogans.

It was in this environment that Li Fanyu began to promote various non-factory fleets.

The first one he selected was Red Bull Racing.

In September 2004, Ford ended his F1 era with the announcement that all F1 events would be halted. It was in this year that in Austria, where the automobile industry is extremely developed and the atmosphere of motorsport is strong, Red Bull, a manufacturer of vitamin and energy drinks, officially acquired the Jaguar team and the Cayes factory, officially changed the name of the jaguar to Red Bull, and began its long F1 journey.

Formula 1 is the least expensive race in the world, and that's not a problem for Red Bull. With an almost irreplaceable position in the vitamin drink industry, Red Bull is not short of money.

But even with its backing in Austria and a huge automotive industry, Red Bull couldn't afford to develop a reliable engine that could meet the intensity of Formula 1 racing.

So from the very beginning, they chose to work with a variety of engine suppliers.

As you can see from the name on the historical record card of Red Bull Racing, all the achievements of Red Bull Racing over the years have been backed by engine manufacturers.

First Cosworth, then Mercedes-AMG, and then an eleven-year partnership with Renault.

Interestingly, almost every engine supplier has been rejected by Red Bull Racing.

After three consecutive defeats in the last three seasons, team owner Mateschitz finally got up with it and blasted Renault's engine in public, depriving the team of a better pole position.

After being scolded by the Red Bull team for more than ten years, Renault finally couldn't bear it anymore, and reorganized the car factory team last year, and played by himself, no longer ready to mix with Red Bull.

Although this is a sad story, it is a perfect opportunity for Li Fanyu!
