Chapter 1361: The Japanese Plan Failed

While domestic netizens were still wondering which company produced the car that appeared in the public service advertisement, the FIA ​​announced a piece of news that would shock the world.

"Shenlong Racing Team" has qualified for the F1 Grand Prix next season. Starting from next season, China will have a team to participate in the F1 Grand Prix and appear on the F1 field together with the other 10 teams!

Boom! When this news came out, the entire automotive world was shocked. You know, "Dragon Racing Team" is affiliated to "Dragon Automobile", and "Dragon Automobile" has just established its factory less than 2 months ago. It actually signed up to participate in F1 and was recognized by the FIA. This is really shocking. . Especially for the teams that had signed up every year but were denied the qualification, it was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face.

Of course, this is not the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing was Lin Feng’s next speech.

——I am very grateful to the FIA ​​for allowing a newly established team like us to join F1. This is an affirmation of our "Dragon Motors" and an affirmation of Chinese cars. I hope to be able to provide exciting races to fans around the world in the Formula 1 Grand Prix next year. And here, I would like to announce one thing. For the future of the earth and the future of mankind, our company advocates low-carbon life and leaves a blue sky and white clouds for future generations, so we advocate energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars.

Therefore, in the F1 and Grand Prix next year and even beyond, our company will compete with an energy-saving and environmentally friendly concept, and we vow to win more championships! ——Lin Feng raised his arms and shouted!

a bolt from the blue! Shocking, so shocking! It was already very shocking that the team that Lin Feng had just founded was participating in F1. Lin Feng actually shouted the slogan of using energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars to compete in the competition, and even vowed to win the championship. This was simply ridiculous.

F1 is a high-fuel consumption, high-performance racing competition. The entire competition has nothing to do with low-carbon, energy-saving, and environmental protection. If Lin Feng wants to use energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars to compete, then he shouldn't participate in F1. There are many competitions that he can participate in! If you use an energy-saving and environmentally friendly car to participate in F1, isn't it clear that you are preparing to finish last?

The industry is full of doubts, suspecting that Lin Feng's grandstanding is actually a disguised promotion of his own energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars. Those teams that have not been qualified to participate in the F1 competition have jumped out one after another, accusing Lin Feng of blaspheming the sacred F1 competition, and strongly calling on F1 to disqualify the "Dragon Racing Team" from the competition and replace it with other teams. ——Obviously these words have ulterior motives, but they are supported by many F1 teams, such as Honda and Toyota, as well as Bridgestone, which has always been the exclusive tire supplier for F1.

The three teams strongly requested the FIA ​​to disqualify the "Dragon Racing Team" from F1 and deprive such people who dare to despise F1 from competing. ——Apparently three Japanese companies filed similar protests at the same time, with only one goal, to attack Shenlong Motors and Lin Feng.

To know,

The FIA ​​approved the Shenlong Racing Team's application to join F1, which caused huge repercussions throughout China. Almost all Chinese car fans cheered and welcomed this event with both hands. You know, when Lin Feng held a press conference and announced that the "Dragon Racing Team" would participate in next year's F1, most Chinese fans did not have much hope for it. You know, participating in F1 not only competes for funds, but also competes for technology. In terms of funds, Lin Feng's status as the world's richest man is naturally more than enough, but in terms of technology, domestic car fans must admit one fact no matter how unwilling they are to admit it - that is, domestic car companies are not qualified to participate in F1.

Therefore, many domestic car fans originally thought that the "Dragon Racing Team" participating in F1 was just a good wish that could not be realized. Even with Lin Feng's past magic, it was impossible to achieve it. I never imagined it, but now it has actually come true and has been recognized by the FIA. You can imagine the excitement of domestic car fans. It can be said that when the FIA ​​announced that "Dragon Auto" will participate in the F1 Grand Prix next season, "Dragon Auto" instantly became the leading domestic car brand in the hearts of domestic car fans, and also became the car fan's choice when buying a car. The first choice for domestic brands.

This is what Japanese car dealers are most worried about. This dispute over car sales between China and Japan is not just a matter of face and which country has better automotive technology, but also a matter of whether Japan can continue to comprehensively suppress China's heavy industry. Therefore, Honda, Toyota and Bridgestone jointly lodged a protest and asked the FIA ​​to strip Lin Feng of his qualification for next season.

"Despicable, they actually used this trick to prevent our Chinese team from joining F1. It is extremely shameless!" Domestic fans were furious after hearing this news. When watching F1 every year, countless fans dream that one day a Chinese team will appear in the F1 arena. However, most rational people know that it will take at least 20 years for a Chinese team to appear in the F1 arena. Now, finally, the emergence of Lin Feng, the "miracle man", has finally extended his magic to the automotive industry, allowing China to finally have a team appear in the F1 arena. However, at this juncture, it came to cause destruction, which made Chinese car fans unable to Angry.

For a while, the slogan of "overthrowing Japan and boycotting Japanese goods" resounded throughout China again, and many netizens shouted the slogan "Reject Japanese rotten cars and support domestic Shenlong". All domestic car fans also turned their attention to the FIA, wanting to see how the FIA ​​would judge this time. Would it continue to insist on letting the "Shenlong Team" join F1, or change its original intention and deprive the "Shenlong Team" of its qualifications under the pressure of Japanese car dealers.

As for whether the FIA ​​will change its mind in the end, Japanese car dealers are quite optimistic. After all, with the relationship between Bridgestone and major teams, such as Ferrari, Renault and other teams, they are quite close. With Bridgestone lobbying major teams, Japanese car dealers don't believe that the other eight teams will not sell them this favor. And if all teams oppose, the FIA ​​will be useless no matter how tyrannical it is. At that time, the "Toyota Team" and the "Honda Team" will threaten to withdraw from F1 if the "Shenlong Team" joins F1, and with the support of the other eight teams behind them, they don't believe that the FIA ​​will not change its mind.

As long as the FIA ​​changes its mind and refuses to allow the "Donglong Team" to join F1, it will be a fatal blow to the "Donglong Team". At that time, as long as the FIA ​​releases a message again, saying that the technology of the "Donglong Team" does not meet the requirements of F1, hum, "Donglong Automobile" wants to compete with Japanese car dealers in sales, that is a dream.

However, what Toyota, Honda and Bridgestone never expected was that the other eight teams in F1 stood on the side of the FIA ​​in unison, agreed with the plan of F1 to expand the army, and highly praised the inclusion of Chinese teams in the F1 Alliance after the expansion.

This change was completely unexpected for Honda, Toyota and Bridgestone. For a long time, the FIA ​​and major car dealers have been incompatible, and it is basically difficult for the two sides to reach an agreement on something, of course, this is based on the different interests of both parties. But I never thought that this time the other eight teams unexpectedly supported the FIA ​​to allow the "Donglong Team" to join F1. This unexpected change made Honda, Toyota and Bridgestone completely dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the other teams would not even give Bridgestone face this time.

"Lin Feng is a madman, a person who never follows the rules. If he joins F1, he will only bring destruction, not any help. Moreover, the 'Shenlong Team' does not have the strength and technology to join F1 at all." Toyota President Tatsuro Toyoda said angrily at the FIA ​​meeting.

The eight teams looked at each other and shrugged indifferently.

"Mr. Toyota, for us, as long as there is a Chinese team in F1, we value the Chinese market, not the strength of Chinese cars. If the 'Shenlong Team' joins F1 and stands at the bottom, don't you think it will be good news for all our manufacturers at that time!" Jordan, the owner of the Jordan team, laughed with a cigar in his mouth.

"Yes, we care about the Chinese market. I think Toyota and Honda have already walked ahead of us in this regard. We manufacturers can only catch up. Could it be that your country wants to dominate the Chinese market?" Ferrari team owner Domenicali narrowed his eyes and smoked the two owners of Toyota and Honda teams.

Tatsuro Toyoda snorted. Toyota is not the only one that wants to dominate the Chinese market. I am afraid that there is no one here who does not want to dominate the Chinese market.

"Then we will wait and see. When Lin Feng destroys F1 one day, I hope you will not say that I did not warn you at the beginning!" Toyota team owner Toyota Tatsuro snorted and left. Honda team owner and Bridgestone representative also left.

Marcos Mosley and the eight team owners smiled at each other. I am afraid this is also a rare time that they have reached an agreement so tacitly.

"Lin, the protests of Toyota, Honda and Bridgestone just now have been rejected by all team owners. Your "Shenlong Team" is eligible to participate in the competition next year. It is a foregone conclusion." After returning to the office, Marcos Mosley immediately called Lin Feng.

"Thank you, Mosley, I am busy, so I won't say more. By the way, there are some new products at "Japanese Cuisine". You can try it when you have nothing to do!" Lin Feng chuckled.

"Haha, I will go after get off work later." Marcos Mosley's face was full of lust. Marcos Mosley had no aversion to Lin Feng's almost blatant bribery. First, he really liked this tune, and Lin Feng really catered to his needs; second, in his opinion, with Lin Feng's identity and status, he didn't need to do anything too difficult, so he accepted Lin Feng's kindness very calmly.

The FIA ​​once again announced to the public that the "Shenlong Racing Team" will be 100% qualified to participate in the F1 next season. ——The announcement of this news finally put the worries of all Chinese fans at ease. However, just when this heart was relieved, the other heart of domestic fans was hanging again. Lin Feng said that he was going to let energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars participate in the competition. This is too exaggerated!
