Chapter 645 Compliance (920)

On the afternoon of April 15th, Swiss time, although it was already evening in distant China, the main staff of each team did not rest, and they have been waiting for the judgment of the International Automobile Federation.

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

"Has the result not come out yet?" Omi asked.

"Not yet, I've been refreshing the FIA's website, and it's not time for them to get off work. I think the final results should be announced before they get off work!" the assistant said.

"If it succeeds, maybe Zhang Guan's championships won in the first two races will be cancelled! And in the upcoming China race, he will not be able to use the double-layer diffuser. Thinking about it, it feels good!" Omi said .

"It's out, the statement of the International Automobile Federation is out!" the assistant said suddenly, and Omi rushed over immediately, and then looked at the newly refreshed web page.

"The International Court of Appeal of the FIA ​​has decided to reject the appeal against Decisions 16 to 24 of the F1 World Championship Australian Grand Prix event on 26 March 2009. Based on the controversy and evidence preceding it, the Court concludes that the arbitration The view that those cars comply with the regulations is correct." Omi was stunned for a moment, and asked: "What the hell is the decision No. 16 to 24 of the Australian Grand Prix? What does it mean?"

"It means we lost!" The assistant tremblingly said: "The International Automobile Federation has ruled that the double-layer diffuser is compliant!"

A complex expression appeared on Omi's face, which was anger, bewilderment, unwillingness, and confusion.

"We lost? How is this possible, how could we lose! There are so many teams supporting us, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, Red Bull...they are all on our side, why do we still lose ?” Omi yelled.

The assistant bowed his head and remained silent, but he knew that having a large number of supporters did not mean that the matter was correct. What's more, the current Omi is completely incommunicable.

"Damn, it's so hateful! Shady! Corrupt! Someone in the International Automobile Federation must have collected black money, and I want to report them!" Omi said viciously, but he also knew that this was just a mouthful. .

The cell phone rang at this time, the assistant picked up the phone, talked to the other party for a few words, and then said: "Sir, Mr. Smith, the technical director, just called. They have seen the final judgment of the International Automobile Federation. In addition, Smith Mr. also asked, since the double-layer diffuser has been judged to be compliant, should our team start to develop a double-layer diffuser as the next step?"

"Well, of course we have to..." Omi's words stopped suddenly. He remembered the conversation with Zhang Guan at the Australian Grand Prix half a month ago. At that time, Omi said that the Force India team is absolutely not A double diffuser will be used.

"If I also use a double-layer diffuser, won't I be looked down upon by Zhang Guan? That would be too embarrassing!" Omi was more concerned about his own face, thinking that Zhang Guan might laugh at himself because of this, Omi said decisively shook his head.

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

"Mr. Smith said that the double-layer diffuser can indeed provide a lot of extra downforce for the car, which helps our car jump speed." The assistant said.

"We want to win the game openly, so I won't use double-layer diffusers opportunistically!" Omi continued: "We want to resist double-layer diffusers, and we unite with other teams to resist double-layer diffusers .Go to Ferrari, go to McLaren, go to Renault, they are all behind us, unite them, we will boycott this double diffuser!"

...

"The main content of the resolutions No. 16 to 24 of the Australian Grand Prix is ​​that the cars of each team have no design violations, so they are allowed to participate." Ross Brawn gestured with his hands and said: "The Force India team reported our double-diffusion before. The diffuser is illegal, but there has been no evidence of examples. After all, it was just a design before the official competition. When the design of the double-layer diffuser was actually used in the competition, the Force India team had a basis for examples. This is the resolution from No. 16 to No. 24."

Ross Brown paused, and then said: "This year's Formula One has only 10 teams participating, which is the fewest in recent years, and with the outbreak of this economic crisis, the strength of sponsors and the attention of the public have increased. It can be said that the entire race of Formula One is in trouble. Emerging markets are undoubtedly a life-saving straw for F1, so the F1 management is more inclined to us. And they don’t want a giant like Ferrari A dominant family, Bernie, the president of F1, wants to see a situation where all the heroes compete for hegemony, so he will support us, because we are a spoiler!"

Ross-Brown's explanation made Zhang Guanming a lot, he smiled and said to Ross-Tribe: "We won, this is something worth celebrating, now we can finally devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the next race. But I'm wondering when other teams' double diffusers will be developed."

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

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

"If you consider the integrity of the car, it will take a lot of work, at least to redo the aerodynamic package, but if it is just to match the existing aerodynamics of the car, you can use a transitional double-layer diffuser first, and then Improve 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, it is better than nothing." Ross Brown said.

...

Omi sat in the office, anxiously waiting for the news.

The assistant hurried in, put a document on the table, and said: "Sir, the Ferrari team has already replied to us. They understand our determination to resist the double-layer diffuser. They said they will fully support us!"

"Great!" Omi said with joy on his face, "I believe it won't be long before McLaren and Renault will come to support me. Let's boycott the double-layer diffuser and put pressure on the International Automobile Federation. It may not be possible to change the FIA's verdict!"

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

"Interview with Ferrari team leader 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 judgment of the FIA ​​Court of Appeal, but our Ferrari team has also taken countermeasures. We have been conducting research on the double-layer diffuser. It is expected that in Bahrain, the audience will be able to see the double-layer diffuser. A Ferrari with a double diffuser!"

The ninth chapter is delivered, ask for the next monthly ticket, ask for the recommendation ticket.
