Reborn F1 Forza Motorsport

Chapter 47 Qualifying Tournament

I woke up at about nine o'clock the next day, because the front desk called and everyone was ready to go.

"I knew you two would sleep in."

Inside the chartered car, the mother took out two sandwiches and two boxes of milk.

The two gobbled it up. "Thank you." Lewis thanked very politely.

"This morning is mainly for you two little guys to attend the team meeting, every race day morning we all need to have a meeting, except for the driver."

Newey explained earlier.

"We don't need to participate." Mother said at this time.

"Yes, ma'am. You and your husband can go and see the activities in the club, and there will be activities today."

"Ok."

"We'll be separated from our son later, he has to study with him, and we'll just hang out outside."

"I always feel that I don't have much energy." Yang Hao's father has no interest in these activities.

"You should just go for a walk." The mother could only comfort the father.

When they arrived at the field, their mother and father left. Yang Hao and Lewis followed the team into the maintenance area and began to prepare some equipment for the afternoon race.

But on the way, he seemed to see some Asian car fans taking pictures with cameras.

After entering the maintenance area, a group of people started a meeting. The content of the discussion, which Yang Hao could probably understand, was planning for the goals that need to be achieved today and tomorrow.

However, Yang Hao still can't understand some of the professional words, after all, he has not entered the level of systematic learning.

"We need to help Hakkinen win the duel with Schumacher, so we need to start a pit stop strategy around Hakkinen, and Koulhart will let him play."

Dennis made a decision against the entire McLaren technicians.

Sometimes f1 is like this, when one of the two drivers can hit the championship, the second driver will be left to fend for himself as long as there is no too serious accident.

And this has also caused the two drivers of many teams to not be in harmony as they seem on the surface, and they are all competing for the number one position.

Because no one really wants to be a green leaf without being a safflower.

Just like Schumacher's teammate Irvine often lives in Schumacher's shadow, although he is also an excellent driver, of course there is the famous radio conversation with his teammate Barrichello who joined Ferrari later.

"You know what to do." Barrichello hit the brakes just before the finish and gave Schumacher the win.

But after these No. [-] drivers left, when they were No. [-] drivers, they did not show their previous dominance, which seemed very strange.

The meeting was still going on, which made Yang Hao and Lewis bored, after all, they just came to see it.

Two people walked at the vehicle exit of the maintenance area and looked at the track.

All the teams had almost arrived, and the sound of mechanical work kept coming and going.

Yang Hao saw a reporter who seemed to be explaining each maintenance area.

"That's the official f1 reporter, I've seen him on TV. He's probably on a pre-race tour."

Lewis told Yang Hao beside him.

The pre-match tour is also an element of F1. Basically, each team will have a face-to-face or even a video in the maintenance area, as an activity before the start of this station.

"Go in and see how the car is repaired and inspected. You will encounter these points in the future."

Newey came over and stopped the two children.After all, the maintenance area is still not free to walk around.

The two children were taken to the innermost part by Newey to avoid blocking the team's disassembly and inspection of the two cars.

A car has about a dozen people to check, test drive and tire inspection together.

At this time, there was no computer to detect, and the inspection was basically done manually, so the inspection process was very slow.

The lunch at noon is basically settled on the spot, and some boxed lunches are delivered.But the box lunch is delicious, chicken, luncheon meat and curry potatoes.

It's a pity that there is no rice in the box lunch.

After dinner in the afternoon, the meeting was still held, but this time there were many more people than in the morning.The two technician teams held a meeting together.

The general idea is to explain their respective tasks in the execution of the tactics. The two teams also practiced the work of changing tires.

An hour before the start of the game, the two little guys were brought back to the box by Dennis together.

There is a color TV set in the box, which is a Panasonic TV, which is very large and long.

Dennis sat talking and laughing with Newey and some unknown people.

But Dennis didn't forget the two of them, and let them sit among the people and watch together.

This era is quite weird. After all, projection technology is not as developed as in later generations, and most of them watch TV broadcasts together.

Outside the box is an open-air bar, some distance away from the main stand.

You can watch TV broadcasts inside or watch racing cars speeding past on the open-air balcony.

But I also saw someone on the balcony listening to the real-time broadcast with a radio.

After all, f1 is not like football. Football can be watched with gusto without commentary, but if f1 has no commentary, it really loses the motivation to watch the game.

This is also a point where many people find f1 boring.

However, Yang Hao discovered two Japanese names, one was Ukyo Katayama, and the other was changed to the Chinese name Inoue Taki because of unknown records.

The previous one was Ukyo Katayama, the Asian F90 brother of the 1s, who played for the Tairui team.

The reason why he is famous is that Katayama Ukyo collided at the start of the F1995 Portuguese station in 1. Due to the excessive speed, the car vacated and rolled several times, hit the retaining wall, and the car was seriously damaged. This is the famous "Katayama Thomas gyration" .

The rankings of the two Japanese are not very good, around 17th and 15th.Hakkinen's performance is generally good enough to enter q2.

However, it performed well in q2 and almost entered q3.

Another teammate Coulthard also stopped at q2.

Dennis looked confident in the points for this race.

After all, this is McLaren's first year using a Mercedes engine, and it's only the third race.

Dennis and his team went down to prepare for the post-match meeting and the vehicle inspection.

Yang Hao and Lewis were taken to the club to participate in some activities.

Today's event is more about some interesting activities, participating in the lottery contest and taking photos with idols.

In this regard, Yang Hao still thinks that eating is interesting. These lottery draws are pure failures.

These activities were carried out from around four o'clock to five o'clock, and mother and father came in before the meal.

"It was boring again today, but Europeans always seem to be having fun, and it's nice to change tires."

Dad complained about the wheel-changing games held on the perimeter.

"People's culture is very different from ours. Can you see such idle people in China?"

"That's right."

"Didn't you also like cars when you were young?"

"That's what the job requires."

"You are right."

The two always like to bicker, and Yang Hao is helpless.
