Chapter 196: Battle Silver Stone (1)

The F1 Grand Prix of France finally took place in Michael. Schumacher won the curtain again. To everyone's astonishment, this is Schumacher's ninth championship in this year's tournament! With the exception of a title at the Circuit de Catalunya, the German has already won all the titles so far this season. It's definitely the craziest monopoly of all time, and after narrowly missing his sixth Drivers' Championship title in '03, Schumacher is using this to silence anyone who doubts his prowess......

That's not all there is to France, though. Apart from that little bit of controversy, the young Alonso is starting to show his edge more and more to everyone after two seasons of training. And what is even more memorable for those who watched this race is Ye Feng, who was on the podium for the first time in F1! Now that Schumacher is getting older and older, there are young energetic and talented young people such as Alonso and Ye Feng, which also allows everyone to see the future of F1! After watching this game, Bernie bluntly expressed his love for Ye Feng to the media, saying:

"If this young man can further improve his stability and unique technical style to another level, then it can be expected that Ye Feng will be the best F1 driver in the next 10 years or even the year!"

For Bernie's admiration, the Chinese local media is naturally excited. can have the birth of Ye Feng. It is already a matter of making all Chinese people have more face. And can also get the approval of F1's biggest giants, doesn't this mean that Ye Feng represents the future power of F1? And so after Bernie's words. Many media outlets that had nothing to do with motorsports before began to report everything about Ye Feng, and their rhetoric was gorgeous and the hype was crazy, and it was very likely that Ye Feng, who had only participated in one F1 race, would have the momentum to portray Ye Feng as the most awesome F1 driver in history and the one who ended the Schumacher dynasty......

However, fortunately, this is only the Chinese people themselves who are enduring such a three-dimensional and uninterrupted information bombardment, and foreign friends are not able to "enjoy" the "mighty power" of the Chinese media for the time being. Fortunately, just as Yao Ming in the United States himself can't see the reports that evaluate him as "the most dominant center in history", Ye Feng, who is currently in the UK, can't see these evaluations from China. Otherwise, Lao Ye, who was evaluated by Senna as a great achievement, would not be fooled by those media in his own family and couldn't find the north?

For Ye Feng's performance in this game, the more conservative British and other major European media have expressed cautious praise for Ye Feng, and these media are praising Ye Feng while also pointing out his cornering stability, rhythm control and lack of grasp ability.

After seeing these newspapers. Ye Feng couldn't help but marvel at the popularity of European motorsports and the depth of people's level of watching the competition. However, Senna told Lao Ye that his current problem is actually that the immaturity of the new tactics honed by Lao Ye has led to a lot of loopholes. If Ye Feng's ability is realized in time, it will definitely be a moment that shocks the world......

......

The first thing the Williams team did after finishing the French leg was to appeal to the FIA that Alonso maliciously blocked Ye Feng, causing Ye Feng's car to slide off the track and lose the opportunity to catch up with the other party. For a stubborn person like Serena Williams, he will never allow his team to suffer such a loss. And the nature of that thing is so obvious. Old Sir believes in the qualitative nature of things and the > the FIA does:

Apparently aware of the main responsibility for the dispute between his young drivers at the last race, Renault manager Briatoli was the first to come forward and explain the dispute. He said that in such a high-intensity confrontation, any small negligence on the part of the driver would be magnified to some extent, and Briatoli said that while Renault was actually involved in the incident, he believed Alonso did not do it intentionally. He also expressed his willingness to accept any penalties imposed by the FIA for the matter.

Soon, Alonso, who had regained his inner peace, also explained to the media that the "malicious blocking" was due to a mistake in his judgment under intense pressure before the Adelaide bend, and not intentionally. At the same time, the Spaniard also expressed his euphemistic apology to Ye Feng through the media and was willing to accept the punishment of the FIA.

I have to say. The Renault team's emergency response to this matter was undoubtedly very successful. Such an emergency PR measure of accepting the punishment and apologizing to the opponent saved Renault a lot of face. Everyone knew what was going on, but at this point, it was no longer easy for the Williams team to hold on to each other's braids, after all, it was time for all the teams to twist together to fight against the outrageously powerful Ferrari. Therefore, the Williams team led by Michael to say that there will be no further investigation into this matter other than the FIA's decision on the matter.

So, on July 7, 3 after the end of the race in France, the matter was finally decided. The FIA found Alonso's "malicious obstruction.:

Therefore, Renault Racing had a good attitude and only made a penalty for Alonso to start six places back in the race......

Up until this point, all the teams and drivers are already engaged in the intense 4-year race of the season in the UK......

......

As we all know, as the source of the British automotive industry and the heart of motorsport, Silverstone has become much more than a track in itself. Not only is it one of only two circuits in F1 that have raced in all of F1 over the years, but more importantly, Silverstone has become an ageing witness to British motorsport history! While Bernie and F1 executives have always complained about the old facilities at the track, no one can deny it. Silverstone has never been far from the heart of motorsport......

Now, the Williams team and Ye Feng no longer have the energy to care about disputes and other things after returning to the UK. Although he is about to start the next race in his own country. But Williams didn't have the slightest ease on the team. In the last race, Ye Feng unexpectedly earned six valuable points for the team, plus one point for eighth-placed Montoya, which gave Williams Racing a renewed hope for the team to attack the second place in the second half of the race.

However, Silverstone has always been a speed-oriented track. If a car doesn't have top speed, it's hard to dominate here just by relying on cornering stability. What the current Williams Racing's FW-26 twin keel frame lacks is enough straight-track speed competitiveness. If it weren't for Ye Feng's unconventional performance in a desperate situation in the last race, it would be hard to imagine relying on the FW-26 to compete with Ferrari's F2004. For example, Montoya, who started in fourth place, was dragged down by the disadvantage in the speed of the car and only finished eighth. In fact, Schumacher Jr. and Montoya have already slammed the team on more than one occasion for not being strong enough. However, in the context that the FW-27 is still being studied, the Williams team, which wants to challenge for second place in the second half of the season, will have to point to the FW-26 to survive......

As a result, the entire Williams team is now busy with the tuning of the FW-26. Everyone hoped that before the start of the Silverstone station, the chariot would be transformed more powerful for Montoya and Ye Feng. Realizing that Ye Feng has a unique vision and transformation plan in the transformation of this FW-26, Michael also absorbed Ye Feng into the busyness of this racing car tuning and modification. In the absence of a qualitative leap in the power output of the car, the aerodynamic components became the most important part of the retrofit. In order to obtain more detailed experimental data, in just a few days, the team even had the car go through one wind tunnel experiment with a real car and three small wind tunnel experiments with clay sculptures.

In the midst of this team-wide hustle, new and improved aerodynamics were finally applied to the two FW-26s just in time for the team to start the race. Coupled with the improvement plan proposed by Ye Feng before. After a series of test drives, even Montoya said that the car was much better than at the beginning of the season after the transformation and deep tuning! And just as everyone was cheering for the results of their busy work, a popularity that had long been lost in the team slowly spread again in Williams's huge factory......

......

Serena Sr. was now quietly looking out the window, and it was time to get off work. The old man saw Ye Feng who was laughing and joking with a bunch of people at the same time in the flow of people after work. The old knight saw the smile on Ye Feng's face and the gradually lively team members, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his serious face, but this didn't last long, and behind the fleeting smile was the old man's deep worry......

Montoya finally chose to leave! This is the reply that Serena Williams heard from the Colombian after the French station. Maybe it's McLaren, maybe it's Toyota. Although Montoya does not have a clear destination now, he is sure to leave. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Serena Williams knew that it was Ye Feng's excellent performance in the last race that strengthened the Colombian's determination to leave.

However, if this is the case, there is no need for old Williams to worry, and the other thing that worries the old Jazz is the renewal of Schumacher Jr. Now lying in a hospital bed, the German, who is determined to miss the six-stage race, has no intention of talking to the team about renewing his contract. The news from BMW is even more shocking, Schulz, who has been firmly in the top spot of BMW's sports division, has been very annoyed by the delay in the cooperation with the Williams team. There is news that Mario. Tyson is likely to succeed Schultz as the head of the new BMW Sport division.

Old Williams knows that this Mario. Tyson doesn't have any interest in his team. If he can't keep Ralph. If Scholz, the German, is unable to keep his job, then something even more serious may happen next year......
