Bob Bell Q&A:Renault upgrades should help in Hungary too - 一級方程式賽車 Formula One

While Red Bull won the race, Renault also had reason to celebrate in Germany,
with Fernando Alonso clocking the fastest lap of the race in his upgraded
R29. Alonso’s team mate Nelson Piquet will receive the same package in time
for next weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix and technical director Bob Bell is
hopeful that both drivers will enjoy strong performances in Budapest…
雖然紅牛得到1、2，但ALONSO拿下最速圈也值得慶祝，小皮龜在下一場比賽也會裝上與
ALONSO同樣的套件

Q: Bob, the team took a big step forward in Germany. What do you feel made
the difference?
在德國進了一大步，有什麼改變嗎?
Bob Bell: The upgrades we introduced certainly improved the aerodynamic and
mechanical performance of the car and allowed us to be much more competitive.
When you develop the car to a level where the drivers feel really comfortable
and confident with it, you often get a lot more gains than you would expect
from the sum of those parts on paper. I think we saw a good example of that
at the Nurburgring and Fernando in particular was able to raise his game and
get the most from the new parts that he had on his car.
當開發到一定程度以及車手覺得還ok的時候，可以得到比預期的多很多資料(註:用這些資
料來研發車子)ALONSO就是個例子

Q: Despite coming away from Germany with just two points, the R29 was the
fastest car in the race. You must be optimistic for the rest of the season…
儘管德國才得兩分，但R29是最快的車子，你應該可以比較安心了吧
BB: It is encouraging, but we need to be cautious and not get too excited by
a single performance. We now need to go to Hungary and consolidate that
performance improvement to confirm that the pace of the car is genuine and
not simply due to unique circumstances in Germany, such as the track
conditions or tyre performance.
這傷當的激勵，但還是要繼續專研，例如輪胎

Q: Will there be more updates in Hungary?
在匈牙利會有更多升級嗎
BB: In Germany we only had the new updates on Fernando's car, but next
weekend Nelson will have the same upgrades as Fernando. There will also be
some more bodywork updates that should take us another step further forward.
Hungary will also give us more time to optimise all the previous upgrades in
terms of car set-up, so I expect to see further benefits coming from the
upgrade package we introduced in Germany.
小皮龜的套件會跟ALONSO一樣，在匈牙利開賽之前也有時間設定賽車，希望有更多效益在
套裝上

Q: Is the tight and twisty nature of the Hungaroring likely to suit the R29?
匈牙利賽道適合R29嗎
BB: The problems we have been experiencing with the car in the first half of
the year have not been related to specific circuit characteristics and are
more general as we were lacking a little bit of performance in all areas of
the car. To some extent those deficiencies have been corrected by the recent
upgrades and so there's no reason why we can't produce a similar level of
performance in Hungary as we did in Germany. The Hungaroring is also a
circuit Fernando enjoys and has always gone well at so I think he can be
competitive again.
德國站看到成效了，匈牙利也會跟著調整，而且ALONSO也喜歡這賽道，他在這會顯得有競
爭力 (註:完全忽略小皮龜)
