They are all championship cars, Wolfe added in his mind.
"Then this W11 is the third one. My original goal was to get a W12, but that will have to wait until the end of the season."
Xia Yu said without allowing any argument.
A game built on money will ultimately come back to money.
If he could offer the right price and had the right relationship with Mercedes-Benz, then the car would be his.
Even if Wolfe disagrees, Källenius will agree. That's life.
"Yes, Mr. Sherlock, it's yours, but we still need to do a few small tests."
Faced with absolute strength, Wolff had no choice but to give in and sell the W11, which was full of honors, for a good price. This was also tacitly agreed by the Daimler-Benz board of directors.
"It's a pleasure working with you. Now let's look forward to today's game!"
After Xia Yu finished speaking, the main competition was about to begin.
On the track, Bottas, who won the pole position, ranked first, followed closely by Verstappen, and Hamilton could only be ranked third.
For a two-hour race, the advantage of starting is not obvious. In the end, it all comes down to the driver's skills and the engine's performance. Mercedes-Benz has been able to win the championship in recent years because it has advantages in both aspects.
This year is different. Verstappen and Red Bull are ready to defeat Mercedes. Hamilton relied on his experience to win the opening race. I wonder if luck will still be on his side in the Chinese race.
Xia Yu was curious, and the audience in the stands were also looking forward to it. They saw the red lights light up one by one, and then the lights went out and the race started!
“Dirty~~”
Twenty F1 racing cars rushed out, the titanium alloy at the front end of the anti-bottom wooden board rubbed against the ground, and sped forward with sparks and lightning all the way.
It started, it started. Xia Yu felt that driving a fighter jet was not as exciting as this moment. Nineteen out of the twenty cars were opponents, and teammates were also opponents. This was a real track competition.
The racing between Xia Yu and Ji Yang was a one-sided fight, the excitement level couldn't be this high. He was so excited watching it now.
"Bang~~"
Before the lap was over, the two cars collided.
The first collision in the main race resulted in both of them being eliminated. They retired from the competition anyway.
Xia Yu's attention was not on these two cars, he was only staring at the first echelon.
Hamilton overtook his teammate and came to the first position, and Vesta also overtook Bottas, jumping from third to second.
The race champion should be born from one of the two. They are competing for the championship, while others are competing for a place on the list. After all, no points are awarded starting from the 11th place, so there is no difference between the 11th and 20th place.
"Old Ji, how many points can you get if you go up?"
"Me? I can beat ten!"
Hearing Xia Yu's question, Ji Yang answered shamelessly.
"That's awesome, but why do I feel like you can't finish the whole run?"
Xia Yu complained mercilessly.
Physical strength is Ji Yang's eternal pain. He really can't withstand the high-intensity driving of more than 50 laps in 2 hours.
"What about you?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to crash."
Xia Yu said very honestly.
With so many cars, it is easy to become a bumper car, especially at such a fast speed.
"So just watch the race. Look, Mick is coming into the pits."
Ji Yang pointed at Mick, who was consistently ranked outside the top fifteen.
Now we only stop to change tires. Before refueling was banned in 2010, there were many possible strategies, such as one stop for heavy fuel and two or even three stops for light fuel. Unfortunately, it was banned for safety reasons.
It was not until the 16th lap that Hamilton entered the pit and changed to neutral tires. The tire change speed was more than two seconds, which was considered normal!
Red Bull is the best at changing tires, basically within two seconds. Ferrari should stop laughing at them, because after running-in, they are no longer Volvo.
"Old Xia, Red Bull's car is really fast this year. Mercedes' performance hasn't improved. It looks like we need to use some strategy."
As the race progressed, Verstappen also completed a stop, but he soon caught up again and Hamilton couldn't get rid of him.
"Yeah, as long as he doesn't foul this time, he might really be able to kill Sir Liu."
Xia Yu was still wearing a Mercedes-Benz driver's suit, so it was a bit cruel to tell the truth.
As a super rich man, if you don’t have any special preferences, just gloat over other people’s misfortunes.
The race soon entered the second half, and two more drivers were eliminated one after another. The remaining sixteen also completed their second stops one after another. In the end, only Verstappen was still in the lead.
But as time goes by, the tires continue to wear out and it's time to replace them.
On lap 41, Verstappen finally made his second stop and replaced with new hard tires. There were only 15 laps left in the race.
The P rooms of several teams were extremely busy. Some were competing for the first place, some for the top ten. Xia Yu noticed that Mick Schumacher was at the end.
With a bad car and poor skills, it was inevitable that he would fall behind, but at this pace, he should be able to finish the race!
Ahead of Mick, Yuki Tsunoda rushed into the top ten. He ranked ninth in the last race and scored points in his debut. He is also sure to win in this race, but I don’t know how many points he can get.
Red Bull is still wealthy, and even its second team's car is not on the same level as Haas.
The performance of the Earth Group was lackluster, so Xia Yu turned his attention back to the peak showdown between the first-tier teams 3344.
Many people say that the previous F1s were not very interesting and were all Hamilton’s personal show. But this year is quite interesting. I hope that the ugly Hamilton can give some effort and the king of cars can take turns!
Many people were cheering Verstappen on in their hearts. How much they hated him before, now they like him as much as they can, because only he can defeat that man.
