Esther received a call from Lin Qiangsheng and rushed to San Francisco overnight, and the two took a plane early the next morning and arrived in Rio de Janeiro after 12 hours. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Johnson and team manager Nikki Lauda spoke on the phone, and it was only then that they learned that this year's Brazilian Grand Prix was held at the Yacare Pagua circuit in Rio, and that the Intergrass circuit in São Paulo had been disqualified.

Rio de Janeiro, located in the southeast corner of Brazil, on the Atlantic coast, is one of the world's three natural harbors, the other two being Victoria Bay and San Francisco Bay in Hong Kong. The best of Brazil is also in the southeast corner of this recessed harbor, São Paulo is west of Rio, it's night, but you can see the world-famous sculpture from the plane, the statue of Christ on the hill of Jesus.

Asther leaned closer to the window and said, "This stone statue can be seen in almost any corner of the city of Rio, especially at night when the lights are turned on, like a huge white cross protecting the city of Rio, it is so beautiful!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng turned around and asked, "Is Rio going to be messier than São Paulo, will we have a shootout or something?" ”

There was excitement in his tone, and he continued: "Passionate and charming Brazilian girls, and unrestrained samba dancing and Brazilian people who are making demonstrations at every turn. All of this makes up the unique Brazilian culture of South America, and when you think of this country, you will think of mixed-race beauties, sunny beaches, and stunning blue seas. ”

Esther smiled and said, "Actually, the eastern and southern districts are still relatively safe, and they are also traditional rich areas, with developed economies and better security. ”

She glanced at Lin Qiangsheng and said, "Don't wear any jewelry on your body, don't walk around in places with few people, don't play too late at night, don't go into dark alleys and slums, then there will be no problem." ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, Esther has been a security company for the past two years, and she is quite experienced, he saw that there was nothing to worry about in himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and looked at Esther again, this Israeli beauty smiled at him, seeing that people were dressed casually, simple and casual.

Unlike in American movies, the United States is still very safe, and there are small towns that are nothing new all year round, and the chances of accidents are far less than car accidents.

In South America, the law and order situation has not been very good, and the United States has spent a lot of effort to crack down on drug trafficking organizations and human smuggling activities in South America. These countries in South America also rely on the Americans to eliminate their own armed criminal syndicates, some large drug cartels have armies, the government is corrupt, and even the police rob the streets, which shows how bad the security situation in this country is.

Esther tied her hair up and said, "It's not as bad as you think, it's not perfect, anyway, if we don't provoke those local forces, it's okay, we have to enjoy the journey." ”

Lin Qiangsheng said in a low voice: "I think you better get a gun, so that I can feel safer!" ”

Esther suddenly stretched out her head and kissed him, and said with a smile: "Honey, don't worry, I will protect you!" ”

The plane landed safely, and the person who picked up the plane was Shi Jin, the manager of the Eastern Star Group Brazil Company, an old overseas Chinese in his forties, and Damon Hill, a British young man, also came.

Lin Qiangsheng was very happy to see them, and he first said to Shi Jin: "Manager Shi, we have finally met!" ”

Shi Jin's Mandarin is not very good, a native of Kuodong, who immigrated to Brazil with his family just after graduating from high school, and has stayed here for more than 20 years, usually using Cantonese.

However, he still reluctantly said in Mandarin: "Hello Chairman Lin, welcome to Rio, I will take you to the hotel now, and the hotel has also made an appointment for you." ”

"Okay, let's go." Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, and then he asked Damon Hill: "How is the situation of the team, there is no problem with our car, right?" ”

What he is most worried about is the team's car, because it has to go through various tests, but this is obviously Lin Qiangsheng's worry.

Damon Hill smiled while holding his luggage: "Mr. Lin, our car is very good, and the technical team is also very experienced. I would also like to tell you that our high nose design was the focus of the media attention before the race, and the FIA verified the car and decided that our car was in compliance with the rules.

As far as I know, people like the famous McLaren and Williams have the idea of redesigning their cars, and they want to improve their cars when they see your design! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded with a smile and said: "My goal is to participate in the competition and increase popularity, and now it seems that this goal has been achieved, and it would be better if I could get points!" ”

Damon Hill said enviously: "I really hope that I can become an F1 driver as soon as possible and go for the team!" ”

This is a tactful self-recommendation, Lin Qiangsheng nodded encouragingly and said: "Damon, you are talented, I am looking forward to the day when you can be on the field of F1 competition." ”

This is also a promise he gave, which means that the Eastern Star team will sign Damon Hill in the future. This made the British guy very happy, and after everyone got out of the airport and got on the bus, he told Lin Qiangsheng all about his feelings during the test drive.

Lin Qiangsheng is also quite optimistic about Damon Hill, but he is a late bloomer, usually with mediocre results, and he is the kind of driver who only grasps the opportunity when Lady Luck comes.

In fact, in his heart, he is not very satisfied with Damon Hill, drivers with excellent talent and skill are too rare, and Damon is one of the more mediocre of these people.

Formula 1 is the top race in the world of motorsport, and the selection of drivers is extremely rigorous. The fierce F1 competition is not as easy as sitting in the car and being able to drive the race, in fact, most ordinary people may not be able to drive a car like F1.

When the human body is stationary, the force is 1g, the direction is vertical downward, when the person takes F1 and brakes vigorously, it will be subjected to a forward inertia force equivalent to 4 times the body weight, and the human neck is difficult to bear the inertial force of the head.

In bungee jumping, when you jump and are pulled up, you can feel about 2 g of force.

Formula 1 cars have a cornering capacity of up to 4 g, and the force is felt by four times their body weight, so the driver must be the strongest athlete in the world.

Typically, drivers change gears up to 2,500 times in a race, with an average of one shift every two seconds, and more than 50 laps at almost every stop.

The rider's concentration must be high, and the 4 g when cornering will quadruple the rider's weight, and the body will be held in place by a seat belt, but the head will need extremely strong neck muscles to support it.

At the end of a race, the racer will be dehydrated by 3.5 to 4 kilograms, and if it were replaced by an average person, he would have already gone into shock.

These are also great physical challenges for the drivers, and the physical effort required for an F1 match is comparable to playing a World Cup football game or an NBA basketball game.

However, unlike other sports, the glory of the racing stage is not just for the driver, but also the result of the cooperation between the driver and the team as a whole, and it is a very team spirit competition.

However, it is not to say that the quality of the driver will not make a difference, you must know that the driver who can sit in the cockpit of a Formula 1 car, in addition to talent and rich racing experience, continuous hard work is the factor of their success.

For example, in the money-burning process of test driving, it is not easy for the driver and the team members, just like the real race, the driver hone his driving skills, and the rest of the team hone his skills and physical fitness.

The racer is an extension of all this, and of course the one who plays a decisive role, and a good driver can bring glory to a small team that is not very well-known, and it can still be seen in this day and age.

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the buildings on both sides of the street and said in admiration: "Rio is really beautiful, it is really a city created by God!" ”

Shi Jin sat in the co-pilot, looked back and smiled: "Mr. Lin, you are right, there are mountains and seas here, the city is full of green, and there is a blue sea in the distance. In my opinion, Hong Kong can match her. Looking down from the top of Jesus Hill, the whole city is almost a large garden, and I hope you will come here often. ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said: "I didn't expect Rio to be beautiful, this city is like a pearl in the South Atlantic, if there is really a God, he must have given the most beautiful city scenery here!" ”

Shi Jin, as an overseas Chinese, heard Lin Qiangsheng say this, and was also happy from the bottom of his heart, he has lived in Brazil for so many years, and it is only in recent years that he has communicated more with the people of the motherland, Lin Qiangsheng is curious about Rio, and he is even more curious about Lin Qiangsheng, a mainlander.
