The Married With Stranger
Race
Zach turns the steering wheel towards a racecourse that will bear witness to both the defeat and victory of Alex and Sean. In the stands, relatives of the two men came to watch their fierce match. However, he has not seen the nose of the competitors.
After parking Arnold, Zach went down and chose to walk to the Pit Area to see the condition of the car that Alex and Sean will use when competing later. He wants the best for them, regardless of who wins the game. Because their safety is paramount.
Zach took off the glasses he was wearing, then stuck them in the collar. "Hows it? No problem, right?"
"We have done simulations to see which tyre is best suited to the needs. Because we adjust the character of the track, the temperature, and the potential for rain. We also have to estimate how competitive the match will be. It really determines, for example, whether we will wear softer tyres to qualify" explained Daren, a McLaren strategist Carlos Sainz who Zach has chosen to help the game.
"Goodoo. What about the strategy you're using?" ask Zach again.
"We've looked at all sorts of scenarios and simulated in detail how the race would go. We have also taken into account all the possibilities, what if our team leads at the beginning of the start or what will happen if we lose positions. And what if another car suddenly slows down or faster than we thought before.”
Although in general, strategists start with the selection of tires to be used for racing, doing simulations, and tests directly on the track. Then the experts will compare the two results and improvise if needed. After that, shift to fuel use and prepare for some scenarios on qualifying day. However, Zach believes in Daren's strategy.
Daren also informed if racing cars such as Ferrari, Sauber, Source India, and Haas are equipped with damper made by ZF. Red Bull has a ZF clutch. The technology that supports such racing cars allows them to go to the maximum limit thanks to each component working in sync under the hood.
"Oh yes, what if the match will not be in accordance with the strategy that you have compiled?" ask Zach again while looking at the parking area to see if the competitors have come or not.
"When a competitor's car heats up, it doesn't rule out the possibility that we will remove the previous strategy because it is no longer relevant. Sometimes, other strategies can become more effective let alone the reality on the ground is constantly changing."
Daren goes into more detail about their team's strategy and the worst-case scenario that could happen during the game. After that, Zach left them because he saw the competitors involved in a tense chat. He should immediately mediate them.
From a distance of a few meters, Zach can hear if Sean wants to repeat the past with Alex. Even the man deliberately mentioned if he wanted to take Alex's woman fairly. However, from any angle, there is no fair word for someone who wants to seize the property of others if it is based on revenge.
Zach stopped, then crossed. "It doesn't take much to say, Mr. Wastons. I have two cars ready in the Pit Area. The Marshalls are also ready to be on the Pit Line. You two can wait in the Paddock Area first before I call. And you can immediately try the qualifying time trial, just thirty minutes."
From where Zach stood, he could see the corner of Alex's lips lifted to form a smile before looking at Rianti to convince Rianti if he could fight to win the game. Unlike Sean who only shows a flat face.
After Alex and Rianti's arms came off, the woman looked back at her husband's face. "I'll be waiting for you in the Waiting Area with Kak Levi and Anggel."
Hearing that, Zach swiftly stood beside Alex while putting on a wide smile.
Zach leads Rianti and the two others to a special tribune that will keep them from being exposed to direct sunlight. Because in there is available air conditioning and television so they can watch the game there comfortably.
"Please sit down, Sister-in-law."
Zach invited Rianti to sit on one of the seats in the special stands in the style that Dennis used to wear when he asked him to sit. Not to forget he asked the officer who was standing guard there to adjust the air conditioning to what his cousin's wife wanted.
"What about us?" ask Levi to Zach.
Zach scratched his nape which was not at all itchy to condemn his stupidity. "I mean, you guys, too, please sit wherever you like."
Levi and Anggel immediately took a position just to the left of Rianti. Zach who saw it immediately snorted miserably. He took his place beside Levi.
Shortly thereafter, the television set began to feature Alex and Sean chasing each other in the arena. They do practice a few laps before the game starts to master the racing field and get the fastest time record.
While the others watched Alex and Sean chasing each other casually, Rianti was overwhelmed with worry. Seen from the look of his face and hands that are linked to each other.
Zach who realized that immediately said, "Just calm down, Brother-in-law. They haven't played, it's still training."
Rianti smiled. "Thank you, but you shouldn't call me that. You must be the same age as my husband."
"Oh, of course not. Alex is older than me, Brother-in-law. I also can't possibly call you Sister-in-law because I already have one. So, I have to call you Sister-in-law to be complete," explained Zach who made Rianti smile again.
"All right, it's up to you." Rianti looked back at the television screen to see the husband's struggle to win the ridiculous match while continuing to hope and recite prayers in his heart.
"I have to go to the Pit Wall, the match will start soon. You guys keep Rianti here. Never leave it alone." Zach turned to look at Rianti. "Sister-in-law, stay here until the game is over."
After that, Zach goes to the pit booth to watch the game more closely and can see how the strategist observes the screen, makes decisions in a fraction of a second that can make the competitor succeed or even plunge, and intervene in important moments during the race.
I'm sure you can, Alex.
