Automotive Black Technology Chapter 1575: : It’s a mule or a horse
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
Applause broke out from both sides of the track after a period of confusion.
Li Fanyu gave Zhengxin FETYPE a perfect test with a lap that could almost be recorded in history!
Almondo on the side is still in shock.
Although he lacks experience, he is quite confident when it comes to technology. When I used car No. 2 to test on this track before, I felt that there would always be some technical shortcomings. But in his opinion, technical shortcomings would never make his test results so different from Li Fanyu's!
1 minute 9 seconds, 59 seconds. It is equivalent to half the length of many race tracks in the main race, and the difference between the two is a full ten seconds!
What is this concept?
If it is during the race, the lap will be deducted after six laps!
"This is impossible!"
Before Li Fanyu walked far, Almondro took off his coat, quickly changed into flame-retardant clothing and put on a helmet, and then boarded the No. 2 car that had been pushed to the side of the road by the Engineering Department. .
"Mond, what are you going to do?" Claire asked hurriedly.
Armondello did not answer, but buckled his seat belt directly and used team communication to request a test from the command podium.
Previously, Claire had felt that Amondo was not in the right state today. Firstly, she was afraid that something might happen to her driver, and secondly, she was worried that the newly assembled car and engine would be damaged, so she immediately trotted over.
Seeing Claire trying to stop her, Li Fanyu stopped her.
"Let him go. Wasn't the original plan for today to be tested by Amondero?"
Seeing the determination on Li Fanyu's face, Claire looked worriedly at the track.
Under the guidance of the podium, Almondro quickly completed the preparations and drove the No. 2 car at high speed.
Although the original Mercedes-Benz engine used by the team was the previous generation version that was eliminated by the Mercedes-Benz team, it was not weak in terms of tuning and performance.
And that engine brought a championship to the Mercedes-Benz team, so Amondero had great trust in the previous Mercedes-Benz engine. This is why he resists new engines.
But when the car started, and he felt the more powerful power and faster response than the old engine, his obsession was wiped out at this moment.
Soon, driving the No. 2 car, Amondero completed a lap.
Because he was not in a calm mood, he felt that this lap was not very good and did not even reach the previous average level.
Based on technical performance, Almondro set himself a performance range of 1 minute 13 to 14 seconds.
But when he parked the No. 2 car at the starting point, took off his helmet and saw the huge numbers on the LED display, he was stunned!
"1 minute 08 seconds 11?! Oh my God!"
At this moment, happiness was like a bullet of happiness, concentrated in Amondo's chest.
He seemed to see the F1 driver championship waving to him from a distance, as if he saw himself slowly walking towards the podium he had dreamed of among the champagne and flowers. It was as if I saw F1 boss Bernie handing the best driver and lifetime achievement trophy into his hands. It seemed as if all his dreams were one step closer to reality!
……
The next day, the Williams Racing Team officially held a press conference.
At the press conference, three main things were said;
The first thing is the announcement of the changes in the team's management and the official name change of the team from now on, from Williams Racing Team to Zhengxin Williams Racing Team.
The second thing is that after careful consideration, the team decided to terminate the power cooperation agreement with Mercedes-Benz. Although they have parted ways, general manager Claire is still grateful to Mercedes-Benz for its technical help to the Williams team for three consecutive seasons.
The third thing is the most critical. The team has officially decided to completely replace the FEtype power system provided by Zhengxin xcar.
In response to this decision, the team’s No. 2 driver Amondero who attended the press conference expressed his own feelings.
"I am full of expectations for the new engine's performance on the field!"
When asked by reporters about the team's management changes and whether the team's shareholder changes would have an impact on the drivers, Amondero's answer prompted some reporters who wanted to dig out news similar to "dissension within the team." They were greatly surprised;
"First of all, what I want to say is that Li is a great driver, and secondly, he is an investor with a unique vision. It is a pity that I cannot fight side by side with Li in the F1 field, but as a driver and investment And I have to say that Zhengxin has brought the Williams team what I think is the best engine in F1. The team will achieve impressive results in the second half of the season. For this, I and my Teammates are convinced!”
The press conference ended amidst great suspicion among many reporters who like conspiracy theories.
Immediately, various news about the Williams team spread through the media;
"The Williams Racing Team has officially changed its name, and the first shot after Zhengshin took over was indeed aimed at the Mercedes-Benz engine!"
"Amondo is making crazy calls for the new boss. Is Li Fanyu trying to win people's hearts? Or is the team unified for the new financial owner?"
"Zhengxin Group entered F1 through capital operation, and the Williams team became the testing ground for Zhengxin engines. The guinea pig Amondero expressed his satisfaction with the new owner and new engine at the press conference."
"The second half of the F1 season is approaching. Will the huge changes in the Williams team be a rejuvenation for the old tree or the beginning of a downhill road? Let's wait and see!"
For a time, the outside world was constantly talking about Chen Jian's big move by Team Wei.
However, the team at the center of the storm closed its doors after this press conference and canceled all activities. The team's test track is busy every day. Both drivers are stationed in the team, testing the new powertrain tradition while getting familiar with the brand new car.
The intensity of the test is staggering. Almost every day, the team destroys two million-dollar new engines.
Zhengxin Group has finally taken action.
The Xcar department began to mass-produce type engines for fleet consumption, and a mysterious department also officially settled in Oxford, England.
In an abandoned factory only eight kilometers away from the Williams team, a large number of micro-machine tools are assembled. The logo of a rising black horse was spray-painted on the facade of the utopian-style factory.
Li Fanyu was not idle either. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still half a month before the next FE station, he summoned several main drivers of the Zhengxin K2 Team, including Alonso Lou Lu and Yang Chen, to Oxford, England.
On the one hand, Alonso imparted experience to two young juniors of Team V, and on the other hand, he allowed several young drivers to learn and observe F1 techniques.
Time flies in the busyness, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
It was almost the beginning of the second half of the F1 season. Looking at the teams that had almost been running together, Li Fanyu raised the red wine in his hand in Claire's office.
Smiling at the Dame, "It's a mule or a horse. It's finally time to pull it out and run around."
