After a few laps, Zhang Guan returned to the repair station, ran out after refueling, and after more than ten laps, Zhang Guan returned to refuel and change tires. After a whole morning of tossing and running, I finally ran 50 laps, and finally finished running 300 kilometers.
The 50-lap test is enough to show the level of a driver. A driver can drive a Formula One car to complete fifty laps at high speed. In theory, he can handle the Formula One race.
Zhang Guan's performance today has completely shocked Rose Brown, and can even be said to completely subvert Rose Brown's three views. A person who has never been in contact with motorsports once drove a Formula One car and ran out of a first-rate racer. This is something that Brown would never want in his life.
Although this test does not show Zhang Guan’s true level, but Rose Brown has seen Zhang Guan’s talent in motorsports. With this talent, it is worth giving him a car, even if he cannot win the present, but Will surely win the future
In the afternoon, Zhang Guan and Rose Brown returned to the team's laboratory.
A pure white racing car was placed there, this car has not been painted.
"This is our new car" Zhang Guan looked at the car with interest. He knows that this car is the bgp001, or should now be called China Force 001. It is this car that swept other teams in the 2009 season and occupied two positions on the podium many times, namely Ferrari and Mai. Karen can only chase the taillights of this car.
Rose Brown nodded: "Yes, this is our new car. It is now undergoing the final wind tunnel test. After the wind test, you can go to the road to test. The last public test before the season is left Thirteen days, our time is very tight. The next full-vehicle wind tunnel test requires drivers to participate, so you may have to stay here until the start of this season."
"No problem, but I came with my luggage." Zhang Guan nodded.
"There is another thing, we have to determine the second driver." Rose Brown said.
"Choose between Barton and Barrichello?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Yes, we can only choose one. Our funds are limited. We can't even afford the test driver this year. So the second driver still needs to work as a test driver." Rose Brown said.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The two drivers have a lot of racing experience, but Barrichello is definitely better. Barton started to participate in the Formula One race in 2000, and Barrichello started to participate in this race in 1993. Barton was the star of hope in the British racing world, but he has not achieved very good results over the years; and Barrichello was a veteran of the Schumacher era. At the time in Ferrari, he also assisted Schumacher in winning the world championship. Throne." Rose Brown said.
"Which of them has a lower salary?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"That must be Barrichello. He is 37 years old. I want a pension contract to let him stay. As far as Button is concerned, I guess he is not willing to leave. After all, he has played for this team for five years. All these years, and now it is not easy to find a new team. If you talk to him well, he should be willing to reduce his salary." Rose Brown said.
Zhang Guan bowed his head to think about it. In terms of strength, Barton must beat Barrichello. The history of the 2009 season f1 championship was won by Barton, but Zhang Guan did not want Barton as his deputy. Any driver who is determined to win the championship, Do not want to have an equally strong teammate.
In f1 races, the two drivers of a team will always have the priority. In addition to fighting for good results, the second driver in the team is to help the first driver get a better ranking. For example, the Ferrari of Schumacher era. At that time, Schumacher's deputy often took the responsibility of blocking the opponent, so that Schumacher could lead more. Sometimes, even if the deputy took the lead, he would give his position to Schumacher. So Schumacher won so many world championships, also closely related to the help of teammates.
However, if a team does not distinguish between No. 1 and No. 2 drivers, and the strength of both drivers is very strong, it will inevitably lead to internal strife. For example, in 2007 McLaren, when the two strong players Alonso and Hamilton were at the McLaren team, both of them were heading for the world championship, and the consequence was that the two men of the same team fought in the race In one race, two people originally occupied the first and second places, but the result was a fight. In the end, the two cars of their own team almost collided.
From this point of view, Barrichello may be a good candidate to assist his teammates to win the championship. The driver of his age has no ambitions, and more is hoping to mix in a contract for retirement; and Zhang Guan is the team owner. Barrichello certainly won't be so open-eyed and competing with his boss for the first; more importantly, Barrichello has had the experience of assisting Schumacher. Schumacher won five consecutive championships from 2000 to 2004, and his teammate was Barrichello.
If it is replaced by Barton, it is not necessarily. When Barton was young, he was regarded as the successor of Schumacher, and he had high hopes from British fans, but he has not achieved any results in recent years. His heart has been holding a sigh of relief. A car with a strong title, I believe Patton will desperately rush towards the championship. And during the history of Barton in McLaren, he was also in a fight for his championship position with his teammate Hamilton.
After comprehensive consideration, Zhang Guan said, "I think we should leave Barrichello."
Rose Brown nodded. He didn't object. Instead, he gave Zhang Guan a profound look, as if he had seen through Zhang Guan's heart.
Barton is indeed more capable than Barrichello. If Barton is left, the new team may get more points, of course Rose Brown knows this. However, Ross Brown obviously will not be awkward with the team's boss for this kind of thing, not to mention that Barrichello and Ross Brown also have teacher-student friendship. When Ross Brown was the technical director of Ferrari, Barrichello was Ferrari's Driver No. 2, Rose Brown also did not want to watch his disciples lose their jobs.
Barrichello was anxiously staying at his residence in England.
The team found a new buyer, but Barrichello did not receive news that the team would renew his contract. He felt that he was likely to be unemployed.
Barrichello, who is 37 years old this year, is already a grandfather in the sport of racing. He is the oldest driver in active service. At his age, if he is unemployed, it is difficult to find one. Official rider's post.
"I don't know if I don't want a salary. Will the team stay with me? Maybe I should try racing in other events. But at my current age, I can only go to some low-level rally." Barrichello Shaking his head helplessly.
At this time, Barrichello's phone rang, and he glanced at the caller ID, which was called by Rose Brown. He answered the phone immediately.
"Rubens, the team has already planned to renew the contract with you, but the price is not very high. After all, you know the current situation of the team," Rose Brown said.
"Okay, no problem. I am very willing to continue to play for the team. I can accept a certain degree of salary reduction." Barrichello looked a little excited. He then asked: "Mr. Brown, who is my new season teammate or Jane? Embatton?"
"No, you will have a new partner, and someone you absolutely can't think of." Brown did not continue to sell, he continued: "Your new partner is our boss Zhang Guan."
