Chapter 970: Main Driver Goal, Head Brother!
A restaurant near the airport.
Seeing Li Fanyu eating pig intestines like a billionaire at all, celluloid sneered.
"I didn't expect you to like to eat these things!
It's okay if celluloid doesn't say anything, but as soon as the words fell, the fat intestine fell into Li Fanyu's stomach.
She rolled her eyes and shoved rice into her mouth.
Eating with Li Fanyu is an absolutely boring thing, because he doesn't give any opinions other than eating. As for whether the food was good or not, he didn't care if the people who ate with him had anything to say.
At least except when it comes to business.
After dinner, at the door of the restaurant.
Celluloid looked at Li Fan, who was wiping his mouth with a napkin, and stopped talking. Seeing her like this, Li Fanyu smiled slightly, "Okay, Dad is very satisfied with this meal." I have decided to forgive you for the incident before you seduced my woman. ”
Celluloid was speechless, but her heart was crazy;
Looking at the expression on her face that wanted to explode, but was forcibly suppressed, Li Fan smiled foolishly, "As long as you don't seduce my woman in the future, the previous things will be written off?"
Celluloid's eyes rolled, "Okay." ”
"Really?" Li Fanyu stretched out his hand.
Celluloid squeezed, "Hmm! ”
Hearing her say this, Li Fan sighed stupidly, damn, it's finally a grudge!
After agreeing with celluloid to have time to interact with each other in the future, Li Fanyu turned around and left and boarded the car that came to greet him.
Watching the iconic A8 slowly leave, the corners of Celluloid's mouth hooked slightly, "I won't move your woman anymore." But you...... Hehehehehe. What is it like to be a man?
……
Li Fanyu would never have thought that he had been targeted by a rebel.
After returning to the group, he immediately summoned the unreliable manager of the high-performance R&D department and the K2 team, that is, Cheng Ke, to roughly set the decision and charter to participate in FE.
Formula E is a short-lived motor racing event, so the rules used at the beginning of its establishment were based on F1. However, the difference in its power mode will inevitably lead to the inapplicability of some rules, so it has been revised and changed since its establishment.
From 2012 to last year, Formula E cars had to work out the chassis and battery motors, and only let the team tweak, the driver technology and the team strategy. And there are also some extremely mentally handicapped regulations, such as the maximum speed cannot exceed 225KM/h, the maximum battery capacity must not exceed 170 kilowatts, and the remaining power cannot be displayed on the control panel of the car.
However, because of the great dissatisfaction of fans over the years, the complaining car not only does not make people learn the engine sound, but also does not have F1 fast.
Coupled with the increasing level of electric power technology of the manufacturers and brands participating in this event, the suppliers who were originally responsible for electric motors for Formula E racing can no longer technically represent the highest level in the field of electric vehicles.
So after repeated requests from fans and participating manufacturers, Formula E has just made some rule changes in the past few years. This year, the revolutionary 2andN racing mechanic was born.
The so-called 2andN means that the chassis and tires must be made of a Universal FE chassis from Rismfast, and a full set of Dunlop racing tyres. All other parts can be designed by the team within the rules of the race and the FIA's regulations for Formula E cars.
After so many years of exploration, the Formula E team has also figured out that if you want the competition to be fierce and exciting, you must use the best technology to fight for speed, and win the audience with the highest speed.
Therefore, if you want to participate in this event, Zhengxin must have its own dedicated R&D team. In-house design and manufacture includes an aerodynamic kit, a race-grade battery motor, and the corresponding tuning.
This is the technical support aspect of the fleet.
On the driver's side, the race structure in Formula E is largely the same as in Formula 1, so it is based on the way pole positions are won at each station. It's not a two-to-three-day game like Le Mans.
Such a schedule is not suitable for Li Fanyu, a driver who is short of time and has a lot of things to do.
If you want to succeed in this event, you have to form a fixed team with a fixed number of professional drivers.
In terms of technology, Zhengxin must already have it, but this driver is not easy to find......
"Brother Fan, now Chen Chen and Han Yue are fighting in RC. It's a tense time, and if you want to have at least two crews, where are our drivers going to find them?"
Cheng Ke made a mistake.
"Dig, stupid!" Li Fanyu smiled, raised his hand and gave Xiao Nizi a light chestnut, "F3, Le Mans, and even F1!
"You're talking lightly, it's too late," Cheng Ke covered his head like a groundhog, "The FE competition started late, and the other events have been held for more than a month. Most of the drivers have been fixed, and you don't know how difficult it is to poach people in high-level events now."
Li Fanyu got up and looked out the window, "Look for a headhunting company." Participating in FE is not only for honor, but also to show our power technology to the world. So it's very important to be in the first race, and you have to have a good driver at the top. ”
Cheng Ke thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Brother Fan, if you really want a good driver, I would like to think of a personal choice......!"
"It's just what?" Li Fanyu turned around.
"It's just that we may not be able to get it. Cheng Ke said with annoyance.
Li Fanyu was amused, "Who?
"Brother, ......"
Boss?
Li Fan was foolish.
Cheng Ke just called Alonso's nickname in China, and the origin of "Brother Tou" is because according to F1 driver information, the Spaniard's head is the largest and heaviest of all 24 F1 drivers.
During this time and space, Alonso played for Mercedes-Benz, Europa League and Reisfast. The huge head caused a lot of trouble for the design of the cars of the three teams.
Especially in the aerodynamic part, the head is too big and the middle of the vehicle is too heavy, and the matching helmet is too large, which causes the airflow from the front to the rear of the vehicle to be greatly disturbed at high speeds.
At the beginning of Alonso's career, his former club, the Europa League, dumped the blame on his head brother for not being able to achieve good results. The old story is: our car weights have always been heavy and light, and Alonso's head is the main reason for slowing down the car.
Although Alonso returned the favor with a championship trophy after moving to Mercedes-Benz, the nickname "Touge" has been passed down.
Strictly speaking, Alonso is still half of Li Fanyu's master. In addition to the part of driving expertise, many of his driving skills are inherited from Alonso's experience, track judgment and route selection.
But hearing Cheng Ke's candidate, Li Fanyu was also a little puzzled: "Isn't he still in F1?"
Cheng Ke spread his hands, "He said before that he was disappointed with the 2017 F1 car, and the slower and slower pace had worn away all his passion for driving. A statement has been released that it has chosen to end the profession after the expiration of his contract with the Mercedes team this season.
But now, Mercedes-Benz is already training new people. Franco, the previous team tester, has officially taken the position. It is estimated that if we operate, Mercedes-Benz can terminate the contract early. After all...... Hehe, this guy's annual salary is 40 million dollars. Not too cheap. ”
Li Fanyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he already had a smile on his face, "It's still him! No matter how much money it is, invite him over for me." We have an old man who wants to develop our young driver, whose experience is worth more than money!"
Cheng Ke nodded, "Okay, what about the other drivers? We still need a driver, a test driver." ”
While Li Fanyu was thinking about the candidate, there was a noise outside his office.
"Master, you are not moral, master!"
Outside the door, a slightly immature voice shouted.
Li Fanyu slapped his face and looked at Cheng Ke, "When did this guy come back from Europe!"
The person who came was Li Fanyu's dear apprentice, Lou Lu.
