Chapter 254: Pointing the Sword at Europa (4)
The final round in France ended with a complete victory for the Williams team. What better way to announce the team's 'resurrection' with a perfect win at the opponent's home stadium! While helping Massa stand on the top podium for the first time in career history, a full 18 valuable points also put Williams Racing back into the first group, the Constructors' Championship of the Year.
Now, the top management of BMW, which has just made the decision to abandon Williams as an ally, and go it alone, may have to think carefully about their previous judgment. Actually, they are not to blame, just two months ago, not only them, but no one, including everyone, believed that this old team could do anything big. But as if a joke on everyone, Williams is back! And it's such a surprisingly strong comeback! It seems that Tyson and his think tank should be well prepared to explain to BMW's major shareholders! Because now everyone can see that whether Williams wants to work with Ford, who is interested in returning to F1, or Cosworth, who is more experienced in V8 engine research, there is no doubt that BMW has just made a very stupid decision! It turned out to be extremely stupid to give up support for the Williams team! ”
Schultz slowly lowered the newspaper in his hand and allowed himself to lie comfortably on the back of his chair. Now, as the incredibly strong rebound of Ye Feng and the Williams team continues, all kinds of reports have begun to revolve around them. Not surprisingly, as the other protagonist of the former "breakup" incident. Naturally, BMW can't escape the scope of discussion. Now, all sorts of ridicule are directed at the "short-sighted" BMW. The truth is, if they can last another month, they will be the one with the biggest smile among the sponsors! But now, everyone knows that BMW is very depressed, especially when Williams's good results in these races are still obtained with BMW-sponsored engines
Scholz's mood at this time was neither good nor bad. Although it turned out that BMW had not heeded his advice and left Williams as the wrong choice, and although BMW swept him away despite his old feelings, Schultz did not hate the company he had worked for for almost half his life. For Schultz. After going through that saddest period of depression, it is the happiest thing to be able to see Ye Feng, who he discovered single-handedly, be able to surprise everyone like this. BMW can only be a past tense and a piece of history for him, and everyone has to look forward as long as they live.
At this time, there was a noise of house decoration outside the office door, but the old German man ignored it and turned on the computer and started his daily work. Now, Schultz has officially become an employee of the Racing Speeds team and a team manager. For the old German man, he still can't give up his passion and love for motorsports in the end, and for Ye Feng and Romario, Schulz is definitely an excellent team manager who can not be found. His rich experience in team building will greatly benefit Ye Feng's teams. Therefore, under Ye Feng's recent vigorous lobbying, the old German man came out of the mountain again after resting for a while.
At this time, Schulz was tasked with building a new base camp for the Turbo Racing Team in Germany. As we all know, Ye Feng now has a CCC team, an RC team and a long-distance off-road racing team. In the early days of the creation of these fleets. In terms of management, it is very loose and extensive. Whether it is in technology research and development, personnel management, or financial management and echelon construction, there is no systematic and long-term planning wherever you go. Due to the presence of people familiar with motorsports such as Romario and Zhang Yu, this model will not be too much of a problem when these teams have just started to participate in various competitions. But when the team has passed the initial footing stage and enters a period of growth. Many of the shortcomings of management have been revealed.
In terms of personality and ability, Zhang Yu is strictly more suitable for outreach, business promotion, cooperation and other work for Hurricane. Rather than a team manager who needs to take care of the overall situation, Romario is more focused on managing the team's technical development and competition. But these alone are far from being a complete and promising fleet! Therefore, Schulz, who has been the director of BMW Sport for 20 years, is undoubtedly the best person to turn the current .=. situation around the hurricane, and the new headquarters of the team in Germany came into being!
The headquarters was chosen in Germany for several reasons. First, after falling out with BMW. Ye Feng has decided not to use BMW racing in the Dakar and other off-road races from next season. At this time, another German giant, Volkswagen, approached Turbo, so the two hit it off, and the racing car of the Turbo Off-Road Team became Volkswagen. Of course, in addition, Hurricane still chose to play with France in the CCC and RC
and Germany to France is also much closer than before
Another factor that has led to the success of this cooperation between the two parties is precisely the existence of the CCC team and the continuous improvement of the level of the China Automobile Venue Championship. The reason why Turbo is so appealing to the public is that the current DTM (German Touring Car Masters) is only attended by four German manufacturers: BMW, Opel, Audi and Mercedes. As the leader of the democratization strategy, Volkswagen has inevitably been missing out on the world's top touring car race. Therefore, Volkswagen is very keen to use the experience of the Turbo Racing Team in this area to help Volkswagen launch cars that can participate in the DTM in the coming years. Moreover, Volkswagen also took a fancy to Gu Lin, Sunshine, Zhan Yunfei and other young Chinese drivers with great potential.
Therefore, in addition to the drastic reform of the management system of the Racing Speed, the German old man is now responsible for the preparation of the headquarters of this team with strong public significance
"Hey! Quentin! Did you get a ticket for this week's game? I've been waiting for a long time! It's finally time for this day! ”
"David? What kind of ticket? Is it Tottenham against Arsenal? Anyway, I don't want to watch it! Tottenham keep letting us down! ”
"When is it all and still watching football? I'm talking about F1! You don't even know that our UK station is about to kick off, do you? If you don't buy a ticket, I'm afraid you'll have to watch the game at home! ”
"Wouldn't it? David! When did tickets for Silverstone become so sought-after? Every year, you can buy as you go, and you can get a good location!
"It's not like you don't know that this year is very different from previous years, how tough McLaren and Williams are this year! Now a lot of guys who have long been away from racing have bought tickets to watch the race again! As long as we can take out Renault, this year will be the world of our British team! ”
"Ahh What can I do? I've never been in the habit of ordering F1 tickets in advance! It's so depressing! I'm a big fan of IMI and I didn't miss every one of his games in the UK! ”
"Huh! I know you're lazy! See what this is? ”
"Ahh Tickets? Two copies? How can you have two copies? Is it for me? ”
"Of course! It's said that you're a slacker, so I've ordered two more for you and Mileni! ”
"Haha! Thank you! Thank you! Or my David is the best! Know me best! ”
"Wait! Don't worry! If you want this ticket, you're going to have to bet with me! Know you're an IMI fan! >) If you have to compete, I will give you these two tickets! If we Ye Feng win, then you have to pay for my own two tickets! What do you think? Fair isn't it? ”
"Haha! Fair enough! But David, I said you have to be prepared to fail! Because at Silverstone, Raikkonen is almost unstoppable except for Schumacher! ”
"Save it! Ye Feng is the fastest! We'll see! ”
The pair of British fans who bet in pubs are just two of the ones that poured into Silverstone on July 9. However, as David said, due to the excellent performances of the two veteran British teams McLaren and Williams this year, fans across the UK have also begun to buy tickets to watch the two teams compete at home. As we all know, the box office of Silverstone in the UK has always been a big headache for F1 management companies. And now the heat in the UK caused by Ye Feng and Raikkonen has really made all F1 management, including Bernie, happy
However, the car market is only part of the story. Thanks to the pre-race hype, the Formula 1 Grand Prix has outpaced all the other races in the UK that are underway. And the more popular the game, the more opportunities for stars from all walks of life to show their faces. So there are not many movie and television stars who announced that they will come to Silverstone to watch the competition this year!
To that end, Becky, who is recovering from an injury and missed the weekend, has returned to England from Madrid to travel to Silverstone with the Spice Girls. And Ashley. Cole's girlfriend, singer Cheryl, booked her tickets early. Zeta. Jones and her husband Douglas and Hugh. Grant, Jude. Lowe, Orlando. Bloom and other stars have already suffocated everyone in the audience at Silverstone
However, all eyes were soon on the Williams team pit lane to appear Anthony . Hopkins and Sean. The figures of the two old men of Connelly were firmly attracted, and it can be seen from the picture that the two old men and the beauties accompanying them are talking with Ye Feng warmly, no one thought that the Chinese boy could still win the favor of the two veteran stars
