A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

  Italian Racing Magazine: Team Lexus - a low-end engine team?

   Yesterday, the Teves team was officially removed from the F1 league. Nanye Motors acquired the team and changed its name to the Lexus team. The Lexus team will compete in F1 next year. At that time, the sports car of the team will use the engine and site of Nanye Motors to participate in the competition.

   As far as this editor knows, Nanye Automobile Co., Ltd. belongs to a low-end automobile manufacturing company, although it belongs to the top ten automobile manufacturing companies in the world. But Lexus wants to race F1 with a low-end engine? Is this harassment or harassment?

  The engines of all sports cars in F1 competitions are the world's top-class engines, specially produced for speed. However, the engines of Nanye Motors are all civilian, and they are not racing type engines. Is it appropriate to race the world's fastest and most technologically advanced race car with that **** engine?

   This is not looking for abuse, what is it?

  Anyway, all kinds of media are not optimistic about the Lexus team, and even many media have covered the news with a sneering attitude.

  Lexus was disliked by many people just after it was formed. Anyway, all those sponsors, advertisers, etc. before, all looked down on the Lexus team. What kind of competition does such a team use a garbage engine to participate in! It is estimated that the speed is slow to death.

   Even many media have speculated that in next year's F1 event, the Lexus team must be at the bottom.

   Ferrari F1 Team Club.

Amanda, the club manager, looked at the magazine in his hand and said with a smile: "Is the owner of this Lexus team showing off his head? He bought a team with millions of dollars and came here to burn money for fun. Use the mid-to-low-end engine of Nanye Motor Company. Participating in F1 races? Even if the Lexus team doesn't have a good engine, you can buy our Ferrari engine!"

"Yeah, this makes me wonder what that Minano Shuichi thinks. Although Minano Motors has become the world's top ten car manufacturer in just seven or eight years under his management. But his Minano Motors have always been It's a mid-to-low-end car route. Their engines are rotten in our eyes, and the speed is too slow!"

   Imagine if you compare a Crown engine with a Ferrari engine, do you think it is comparable? You don't have to play to lose.

   Not to mention various other technologies.

   "This Minami Shuuichi is a fool and has a lot of money. I estimate that within a year he will know that he can't afford to play in the F1 team. Because he has been struggling to make ends meet."

  …

  The Lexus F1 Team Club is located in Italy.

   At this time, the handover of the team was basically completed, and Minamino Shuichi also transferred a group of staff from Minami Motor Company. First of all, he needs to set up a research and development department specifically for Lexus sports cars. As for the team's logistics team, it is still the original team of the original Teeves team, and so are the drivers. It's still here because they both have contracts.

   As for the management of the team, they were directly transferred from the senior management of his Nanye Motor Company.

   Now his team is waiting for the arrival of the Lexus sports car and the arrival of the F1 event next year.

   On this day, Lexus F1 Racing Club came to a few guests, these guests are Ferrari car company.

   "Hello, Mr. Minano, I'm Sander, the vice president of Ferrari Motors." Sander was tall and tall, looking in his forties, very gentlemanly.

   "Hello." Minamino Shuichi couldn't understand Sander's arrival.

   "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Minano for setting up the Lexus F1 team."

"thanks."

"Mr. Minano, I came to you this time to sell our Ferrari engine! You know, the engines of supercars in F1 races use the world's top engines. Your Lexus sports car will definitely need a powerful engine to pursue speed. Go for the win. I think our Ferrari engine is perfect for your requirements," Sander smiled. He knows that if the other party buys their company's engine, a series of logistical maintenance and so on will be a huge income. At the same time, whenever Ferrari's new engine is developed, the other party has to spend a lot of money to buy and use it.

   After all, F1 racing events change every day, and maybe a new technology emerges every day. If you are behind other people's sports car technology, then you will lose on the starting line before the race.

   So, now Sander is of course promoting Ferrari engines.

   "I'm sorry, my Lexus sports car will use the engine and site of my Nanye Motor Company." Nanye Shuichi said lightly.

"Well, I know this news, whether it's the media or the official competition. I'm not belittling your Nanye car engine, it belongs to the ordinary car engine for civilian use. It does not belong to the sports car engine. Can you race an F1 race with an engine under 200 mph?" Sand explained.

   "Hehe, you don't need to think about this." Minami Shuichi sneered. If he buys a Ferrari engine, it will be a huge expense for later maintenance and so on. That's not the most important thing, every team needs it anyway. But if he uses Ferrari's engine, he will have to buy a sports car installed in his team at a high price every time Ferrari launches a more advanced engine. He doesn't want to see such a situation. At that time, it will be completely at the mercy of others what!

   "Mr. Minano, listen to me, our Ferrari engine..."

   In the end, Sander was sent off by Shuichi Minano.

   In the next few days, in addition to Ferrari, Maserati, Porsche and other car companies also came to sell their engines and chassis and even some other technical equipment.

   But they were all rejected by Minano Shuichi one by one.

   He still plans to use his own technology, even if it doesn't work at first, but he thinks it will work in the future. Besides, he is very confident in the turbocharged engine!

   Those who were rejected were all dismissive of Minamino after they went out: Humph, want to use garbage engines and garbage sports cars to participate in F1 races? How delusional!

   These voices are believed to be the voices of many people.

   I also know a lot about F1 races, "Do we really only rely on our own technology? I think it's very hanging!"

"What are you afraid of, anyway, I invested in the F1 team to advertise the high-end Lexus cars and the follow-up Lexus sports cars to be launched. If we can get a good reputation in the F1 race, then our Lexus is the best publicity. Two years if I can’t do it in one year, three years in two years, anyway, I have money.”

   "Okay, rich and willful." Iloti pouted.

  …

   After sending off those annoying guys, Minano Shuichi was about to leave when suddenly the manager of the team, Konno-kun, hurried in from outside.

   "Mr. Chairman, something is bad!" Konno walked in with a glum face.

   "What all the fuss is about, you are the manager of the team now, and the management of the team will depend on you in the future. I am very dissatisfied with your performance." Minano Shuichi frowned slightly.

   "Uh, I lost my way, I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman." Konno broke out in cold sweat.

   "Say, what's the matter!"

   "Our Lexus team, that is, the four drivers of the original team, do not plan to renew their contracts with us!" Konno Road.

   "What's going on?" Minami Shuichi asked in confusion. After he acquired the team and changed its name, those racers also had contracts!

"The contracts of those four drivers with the original Tevez team are until the end of this year. Seeing that the contract expires in more than a month, I plan to talk to them about continuing to sign with our team. Who knows they refused and Our team renews." Konno reported.

   "Why did you refuse? Want a salary increase?" Minano Shuichi frowned.

"No, no, they say that the engines and sites used by our Lexus team are too backward, what kind of engine can a civilian car manufacturer make? Losing without playing is completely meaningless. Yes, they despise the sports cars produced by our Nanye Motor Company." Konno explained.

   "Hehe, you're disappointed with us before seeing our Lexus sports car, dislike it?" Minano Shuichi laughed at himself.

   "Maybe, maybe they think that our low-end car manufacturing company can't make the kind of super sports car that can participate in F1 races." Konno Road. In fact, he is also a little worried now. After all, super sports cars are not made just because they are made. People like Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati and other sports cars have been produced for more than ten years, and they have the background and experience.

   On the other hand, Nanye Motor Company has not yet produced a high-end luxury car, let alone a super sports car.

   Sports car, the engine is the most important! In other respects, you can buy other people's parts.

   Even if you buy a Ferrari engine, the most advanced and best engine of others will definitely be given to the Ferrari team. Even if you buy it, it is impossible to give you the best engine model.

   "Since they don't want to sign, then don't sign. You go to recruit new F1 drivers, and don't hesitate to spend a lot of money. I don't believe that money can't recruit them." Nanye Xiu said.

   "Yes, Chairman!"

   Seeing that his chairman didn't get angry and let Qianye feel relieved, he thought he was being scolded. After all, this kind of thing is really annoying. How many F1 drivers look down on a team?

After Konno left, Minamino Shuichi knew through this matter that not only the outside media, but also other teams, or those advertisers and sponsors would definitely not be optimistic about his Lexus team now, and even those F1 racers now feel that they can't. Wasting time on his 'garbage' motorcade. So he felt that he must prove it to those people next year! Correct the name of Lexus!
