There wasn't much new in the post-race press conference, and the trio of Zhang Guan, Barrichello and Hamilton, plus Ross Brown, were all "old fritters" who were interviewed by reporters, and it was even more comfortable to attend such an occasion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And then, another thing that caused people to talk about it appeared.

When the safety car was dispatched in the race, Toyota's Trulli once overtook McLaren Hamilton, and the rules required that the safety car could not overtake when it was dispatched, and the Trulli was punished by 25 seconds, but after the race, the Toyota team appealed, saying that Hamilton deliberately let Trulli overtake, and Trulli thought that Hamilton's car had a problem, so he overtook it.

The FIA then investigated the footage at the time and found that Hamilton did have a behavior of giving up the car at that time, and Trulli did overtake Hamilton after giving way to the car. When Trulli overtook Hamilton, McLaren told the race officer that Trulli had violated the overtaking, which resulted in Trulli being penalized for 25 seconds. This is clearly McLaren deliberately luring Toyota into fouling.

But that's not the point, it's the fact that Hamilton and McLaren Racing have given a completely inconsistent "testimony" when questioned by race officers. Hamilton and McLaren have denied giving up the car, but have refused to provide radio calls at the time. But Hamilton was in arrears, and said in an interview that he gave up the car as a team instruction. And this was the "perjury gate" that was a sensation at the time.

Eventually, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile cancelled Hamilton's points in Australia, and the incident lasted for months, and Hamilton almost retired because of the incident. The whole of McLaren has also sunk this season.

……

Newspapers and magazines about racing were all reporting on the "perjurygate" affair.

"I can't believe things are so big, it looks like it's enough for McLaren and Hamilton to have a headache for a while." Zhang Guan put down a racing magazine in his hand.

"This is good news for us. McLaren's car has been a bit uncompetitive this year, but Hamilton's driving skills have really not been good, and now he is in trouble and a less threat to us. Ross Brown began.

"Speaking of which, Mercedes-Benz hasn't come up with a solution for the kinetic energy recovery system?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"Nope. I also specifically asked Ferrari about the possibility that they would get the kinetic energy recovery system for their next race. The technology was not mature enough, and instead of making Ferrari faster, it did them a disservice in Australia. Ross Brown continued: "There is also news that the FIA will hold a hearing on the double-layer diffuser on April 14, and it is expected that it will announce whether the double-layer diffuser is in violation before the start of the China stop." ”

Zhang Guan nodded and said, "It looks like our double-layer diffuser is no problem." ”

"Are you so sure?" Ross Brown asked.

"Unless, of course, the FIA gives up the Chinese market. A Chinese team is the biggest beneficiary of the double-layer diffuser, just imagine, if the FIA dares to announce the violation of the double-layer diffuser before the China station, it is estimated that they will not want to come to China to run F1 in the future! Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"That's right." Ross Brown nodded: "Let's talk about this weekend's game first. Malaysia, Sepang Circuit. A rider's nightmare! ”

"A driver's nightmare? Why? Zhang Guan asked.

"Because of the weather. It's so hot in Malaysia that the Malaysian Grand Prix has been held in the summer in the summer, close to 40 degrees Celsius, and very humid, and the drivers have to run a full 58 laps, which is a purgatory-like ordeal! Some riders would rather retire than run for two hours in that situation. Ross Brown spread his hands and continued: "But now that the race time has been changed to the spring, the lap count has been changed to 56 laps, and the conditions are much better than in previous years." ”

"Malaysia in April, it is estimated that it must be 30 degrees, right?" Zhang Guan asked.

"That's right, the heat, the humidity, it's a big test for the drivers. I remember it was back in 2006 when Alonso had a water system problem on the track, he didn't have water for most of the race, and he almost collapsed and was put on the podium. And the climate in Malaysia is very changeable, and it is likely to rain during the game, so we have to be prepared for the rain battle. Ross Brown looked at Zhang Guan with some hesitation, and he continued: "The rain battle is very different from the dry field, if it really rains, you don't have to hold on, if it really doesn't work, we will retire and reserve our strength to prepare for the Chinese race." ”

Great Britain, Force India Fleet Headquarters.

"China Power, the new team that was just established this year, won the first and second places in Australia! And we're getting nothing! Omi roared loudly, "Didn't you see the cheering of that guy Zhang Guan when he was on the podium?" Didn't you see the arrogance of Zhang Guan at the post-match press conference? ”

"Mr. Omi, it's only natural to celebrate on the podium after winning the championship. Even if Schumacher was on the podium, he would have celebrated like that. As for the post-match press conference, we all know that Zhang Guan went to the Australian reporters. One of the engineers below spoke.

Omi's face suddenly darkened, and he wanted to fire the engineer who was going to fight against him right away, but he knew that this was England, not India, so he couldn't do that.

"That's not the point I'm going to make!" Omi snorted coldly and continued, "What I'm trying to say is, why can a new team win the top two and we can't?" My family spent more than $100 million on the team last year, so why don't we keep the team new? ”

"Mr. Omi, we have made great progress compared to last year. We finished last year at the bottom of almost every race, but this year we have moved up to the middle of the table and maybe our team will be able to take the first points in the next race in Malaysia. The other engineer said, looking very proud.

And several other engineers also showed a very yearning expression, obviously getting a point is already a great success for them.

This scene made Omi completely speechless, and at this moment, Omi suddenly felt that his 500 million dollars might really have grown wings and was about to fly away...... (To be continued.) )
