Italy, Maranello, Ferrari team headquarters.
Schumacher, who had become a Ferrari consultant, stood in front of the red car, frowning as if thinking about something.
This red car is Ferrari's new racing car f60. Compared with last year's f2008, the f60 has changed a lot in design, especially the width and height of the rear wing. Due to the requirements of the new rules, it is not so flat and wide, and it looks a bit retro.
"Shumi, do you want to go up and try? Since our f60 was born, you have never tried a test drive yet." A voice sounded, speaking to Chris Dale, the team's head of race engineering.
Schumacher shook his head: "No, I don't want to be added to that young driver training list anymore"
As a Formula One king, one day I woke up one morning and found myself on a list of young drivers. Of course, I was in a very bad mood. The reason why he entered this list was that he had tested the Ferrari f2008 last year. There has been no reason to test drive the new Ferrari f60 this year.
Schumacher turned around and asked, "The double diffuser made by Rose Brown seems to be very effective. They got the first test in Barcelona. I heard that Force India has reported the double diffuser to the International Automobile Federation. Violation"
"Yes. In fact, if Force India does not report it, maybe we will report it too," Dell said.
"Our report is impossible to succeed. The double diffuser is not prohibited by the rules, at most it is a loophole in the rules. The International Automobile Federation made a mistake itself, if the team is to bear the consequences, then It's unfair," Schumacher said firmly.
"Schumi, you are right. So our R&D department has started to develop our double-layer diffuser. The first sample should come out soon. Just you know, the diffuser is a very important part of the car. It is necessary to adjust the entire aerodynamics of the car. We have started late and canceled the mid-season test this year, so we may need more time to debug." Dell said.
"We have started research and development, why should we report it?" Schumacher stunned for a moment, then immediately understood: "We are trying to confuse our opponents."
Dell nodded: "We can't let our opponents, especially the McLaren team's research and development progress ahead of us. But now that there is the Force India team this cannon fodder is in front, then we only need to fan the fire behind. Just now our publicity department has contacted Force India team and expressed our support"
At the same time, at the headquarters of Red Bull Racing.
The f1 legendary master Newey looked at the double-layer diffuser he designed and shook his head in dissatisfaction.
"No, then the entire aerodynamic kit has to be changed." Newey leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, and he began to think.
"Director, we just got news that Force India team reported double-layer diffuser violations to the International Automobile Federation," Newey's assistant hurried in and said.
"Well, I thought Ferrari would do something. Someone is really good to be a cannon fodder." Newey smiled slightly: "Let's also issue a statement to express our support for Force India. Uh, symbolic support can be ""
McLaren Racing.
Last year’s world champion Lewis Hamilton complained to team technical director Padi Lowi for a while:
Without a double diffuser, we are much slower in corners, and I have to use more shoulders to make turns, but even That’s it. I still can’t keep up with the Chinese power. We have been following the red Ferrari. Last year we finally defeated him, but this year, I don’t want to follow another red car.

"Lewis, don't worry, the team has started to study the double diffuser. Trust me, give me half a month, I will definitely be able to install the double diffuser on our car," Lowe said comfortingly.
"But I heard that we are supporting the Force India team's report of double-layer diffuser violations," Hamilton said dissatisfiedly.
"Hahaha, Lewis, that’s just a guise. It’s the guise of confusing Ferrari. We seem to oppose double-layer diffusers, but we are actually developing double-layer diffusers in secret. Installed on the car, it will surely surprise Ferrari. We can catch Ferrari by surprise," Lowe continued. "As for the Force India team, um, sometimes there must be a cannon fodder."
Renault team.
As the man who ended the Schumacher dynasty, Alonso is undoubtedly one of the best drivers in active service, but Renault's racing in recent years has not been very powerful, and the team has gradually withdrawn from the championship.
But this does not affect the bear heart of Alonso's championship, at this time he is staying with several technicians in front of the car to study the double diffuser.
"We have to consider whether the extra horsepower provided by the kinetic energy recovery system will affect the downforce of this double-layer diffuser," Alonso said in a pause, then said: "Actually, I am not used to this new Kinetic energy recovery system, maybe we can try to remove the kinetic energy recovery system and use a double-layer diffuser, so that our car should be at least five kilograms lighter, maybe this can make up for the speed gap without the kinetic energy recovery system."
"Fernando"
When Alonso heard someone calling himself, he immediately looked up and saw that a maintenance engineer of the team came over.
"Fernando, Director Alison let me tell you that you can study the double diffuser less urgently. The Force India team has already reported to the International Automobile Federation that the double diffuser may be found to be in violation." This maintenance engineer Said.
"Oh, it looks like we can get off work early today." Alonso unzipped his jacket and was ready to go to the dressing room to change clothes.
"I heard that Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull have all issued a statement expressing their support for the Force India team's appeal. Perhaps the start of the race will not be used, and the double-layer diffuser will be banned," the repairman continued.
"En" Alonso was stunned for a moment. He thought about it carefully and then unzipped his clothes.
"It seems that we are going to speed up the progress. I guess Ferrari's double diffuser, the samples will come out. I have fought with Ferrari for so many years, and I know their tricks the best." Alonso turned to the maintenance technician and said: "You tell the director that these are the smoke bombs released by Ferrari. They are confusing their opponents. As for the Force of India, it is just the cannon fodder from the big team. But I think we can also count them."
"Master, Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull and Renault all expressed their support for us." The official bowed slightly, but there was a joy in his tone.
"It’s great that so many teams support us. Now Zhang Guan’s mood must be very bad. I believe it won’t take long before the International Automobile Federation will announce that the double-layer diffuser is in violation. Haha, Zhang Guan was abolished so quickly, I see what you are fighting against me now." Omi seemed very happy, and there was no such thing as a cannon fodder.
