Chapter 265 Compliance (9/20)

On the afternoon of April 15, Swiss time, although it was already evening in distant China, the main staff of the various teams did not rest, and they had been waiting for the verdict of the International Automobile Federation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the lounge of the Force of India team, Omi looked a little anxious.

"Haven't the results come out yet?" Omi asked.

"Not yet, I've been refreshing the FIA website, it's not yet their time to get off work, I think the final result should be announced before the end of work!" The assistant spoke.

"If it succeeds, maybe Zhang Guan's championship in the first two races will be canceled! And the upcoming China station, he can't use a double-layer diffuser, it's nice to think about! Ommy spoke.

"It's out, the statement of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile is out!" The assistant said suddenly, and Ommy immediately rushed over, and then looked at the newly refreshed web page.

"The International Court of Appeal of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has decided to reject the appeal against Resolutions 16 to 24 of the 26 March 2009 Formula 1 World Championship Australian Grand Prix. Based on the prior disputes and evidence, the Court concluded that the arbitration was correct in its view that the cars complied with the Rules. Omi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What the hell is the Australian Grand Prix resolutions 16 to 24?" What does this mean exactly? ”

"It means we lost!" The assistant said in a trembling voice: "The International Automobile Federation has determined that the double-layer diffuser is compliant!" ”

A complicated expression appeared on Omi's face, which was angry, puzzled, unwilling, and confused.

"We lost? How is this possible, how can we lose! There are so many teams that support us, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Red Bull...... They are all on our side, why are we still losing? Omi yelled.

The assistant bowed his head and was silent, but he knew that the large number of people who supported him did not only mean that this thing was correct. What's more, the current Omi is completely uncommunicable.

"Damn, so damn! Shady! Corrupt! There must be someone in the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile who has taken black money, and I'm going to report them! Omi said viciously, but he knew that it was just an addiction.

The mobile phone rang at this time, and the assistant picked up the phone, talked to the other party for a few words, and then said: "Sir, Mr. Smith, the technical director, has just called, and they have seen the final decision of the FIA. In addition, Mr. Smith also asked, since the double-layer diffuser has been judged to be compliant, should our team start developing the double-layer diffuser in the next step? ”

"Well, of course we have to ......" Omi's words suddenly stopped, and he remembered the conversation he had with Zhang Guan at the Australian Grand Prix half a month ago, when Omi said that the Indian Power Team would never use a double-layer diffuser.

"If I also use a double-layer diffuser, wouldn't I be looked down upon by Zhang Guan? What a shame that would be there! Omi was more concerned about his own face, thinking that Zhang Guan might laugh at him for this, Omi shook his head decisively.

"No, we don't use that damn double diffuser!" Omi said categorically.

Mr. Smith said that the double-layer diffuser does provide more extra downforce to the car, which helps us jump speed. The assistant spoke.

"We have to win the game with dignity, so I won't use a double-layer diffuser to cut corners!" Omi continued: "We're going to resist the double diffuser, and we're working with the rest of the team to resist the double diffuser. Go to Ferrari, go to McLaren, go to Renault, they all support us, we want to unite them, we will resist this double diffuser! ”

……

"The main content of Resolutions 16 to 24 of the Australian Grand Prix is that the cars of the teams are allowed to participate because there are no design irregularities." Ross Brown gestured with his hand and said: "Force India has reported our double-layer diffuser violations, but there has been a lack of evidence of examples, after all, it was only a design before the official competition, and when the design of the double-layer diffuser was actually used in the competition, the Force India team had the basis for the example, which is the decision of 16 to 24." ”

Ross Brown paused, then continued: "This year's Formula 1 has only 10 teams, the fewest in recent years, and with the onset of this economic crisis, the intensity of sponsors and the attention of the public have declined, so it can be said that the whole of Formula 1 is in trouble." Emerging markets are undoubtedly a lifesaver for F1, so there is a preference for us within F1 management. And they don't want a giant like Ferrari to dominate, and Bernie, the president of F1, wants to see a situation where the giants compete for supremacy, so he will support us because we are a spoiler! ”

Ross-Brown's explanation made Zhang a lot clearer, and he smiled and said to Rose-Tribe: "We won, it's something to celebrate, and now we can finally put our hearts and souls into the next race." But I'm wondering when the other teams' double-layer diffusers will be developed. ”

"Maybe in the next race, some teams will install a new double-layer diffuser." Ross Brown spoke.

"So fast? It's only been more than half a month since the start of the competition, and their research and development speed shouldn't be so fast! I remember that we had been developing for a long time, and it took a lot of time to conduct the wind tunnel experiment. Zhang Guan said.

"If you think about the integrity of the car, it does take a lot of work, at least to redo the aerodynamic package, but if it's just to match the existing aerodynamics of the car, you can use a transitional version of the double-layer diffuser and then improve it step by step. Although the effect will not be as good as the overall aerodynamic package, as long as it does not affect the large aerodynamic layout, something is better than nothing. Ross Brown began.

……

Omi sat in his office, anxiously awaiting news.

The assistant hurriedly walked in, put a document on the table, and said: "Sir, the Scuderia Ferrari has replied to us, they understand our determination to resist the double diffuser, and they say they will fully support us!" ”

"Great!" Omeny's face showed joy: "I believe that it won't be long before McLaren and Renault will come to support me, and we will jointly resist the double-layer diffuser and put pressure on the FIA, maybe we can change the FIA verdict!" ”

With a relaxed face, Omi blocked the boss's chair, then clicked on a web page to casually browse the latest news.

"Interview with Scuderia Ferrari Principal Mr. Domenecali".

Omi looked at the title and unconsciously clicked on the link.

However, there was a passage that quickly entered Omi's sight.

"We regret the final decision of the Fédération de l'Automobile (FIA) Court of Appeal, but we at Scuderia Ferrari have also responded by working on the double-layer diffuser, which is expected to be visible to spectators in Bahrain!" (To be continued.) )
