[TS] Formula One Streamer - Chapter 75
A picture is completed only when every part comes together in harmony without leaving any gaps.
Just like assembling a puzzle, if even one piece is missing, no matter how high-quality the picture is, it cannot be properly appreciated.
This truth also applies to F1 racing.
No matter how high-level the driver or the engineer may be, aren’t there more members that make up F1?
The mechanic who replaces tires and the front wing with accuracy and speed every time the driver makes a pit stop.
The race engineer who assesses the race car’s condition and communicates with the driver to set the direction of the race.
The strategic director who understands the overall flow of the race and the team’s power, establishing and directing race strategies based on the situation.
The director who oversees and controls all these situations, becoming the pillar of the team.
Moreover, there are hundreds of people who indirectly and directly create and research the race car so that the driver can perform their role.
The picture of being an F1 champion cannot be created by a great driver alone.
It can only be completed when backed by the organizational power of all team members, like a machine, and the passion of an engine.
So, it can be said that a champion is made only by everyone working together.
Thus, finding Enrique Tilko in this world was undoubtedly a fortunate event for both me and Ferrari.
“Will he really fit in…?”
On the one hand, I was skeptical whether Enrique could successfully settle among the engineers of Ferrari, who have a long history and tradition.
Considering that Binotto came all the way to scout me, it wouldn’t be impossible for my words to strengthen Enrique’s influence.
However, that would only be a temporary effect due to Binotto’s position as director.
Moreover, even if Enrique fits well in the team, he has been away from F1 for a long time, and no matter how outstanding he is, it is nearly impossible for one person to change the entire team, so new faces were still needed.
In small terms, it was about recruitment; in grand terms, reform.
A person with the skills and decisiveness to completely reset the team’s direction and purpose was needed.
It is much quicker to change the team collectively rather than by one person alone.
To do that, the active cooperation of existing staff would also be important.
With only two months left until the season starts, a wave of reform must happen in Ferrari as soon as possible.
“I checked the email.”
– You’ve confirmed it. So, is he the person you were looking for?
“Yes, he is the one I was looking for.”
– That’s a relief. I was worried since Enrique Tinko was the only candidate.
Right.
The Enrique I am looking for can only be one, and that makes him a valuable person.
As Lee Myung-jin let out a sigh of relief and smiled awkwardly, perhaps feeling embarrassed, he cleared his throat and continued speaking.
– By the way, if it’s not rude to ask, may I ask what your relationship with Enrique Tinko is? I can’t think of any connection between the two of you.
“Enrique Tilko and I…”
Enrique Tilko is a relationship that is more than family.
The race car he poured his heart and soul into, I also drove with all my might.
I brought him a championship through my driving, and he brought me a championship through his design and production.
It could be said that we shared burning souls in the passionate motorsport of F1, which is more than family.
“Right now, we’re nothing to each other. Just someone I need, someone that Ferrari needs.”
For Yooihyun, that was a painful memory.
Jin Hyun-woo had died.
– Understood. What should I tell the director?
“Please tell him to hire Enrique as the team engineer, my race engineer. Add that he is a needed person.”
– Not just any engineer, but a race engineer? Hmm…
Lee Myung-jin made a sound of difficulty.
Of course, that would be difficult.
It’s not an overstatement to say that what a race engineer does is impossible for a novice.
A racing team is subdivided into many more departments than an ordinary person can imagine.
The data analysis team that analyzes race data.
The strategy team that devises strategies.
The vehicle team, which includes mechanics and pit crew who observe and manage the race car’s condition.
The race engineer must receive and organize the comprehensive information delivered from all these departments to rapidly convey it so that the driver can execute the best race.
So, I had requested that they delegate a task that even a seasoned veteran could only handle to someone who barely does the work of a car repair shop in a small Spanish town.
At this point, it’s a story that’s on a different level from simple recruitment.
It would mean replacing a key role within the team: the race engineer.
It might be an impolite request.
Still, as someone who knows Enrique’s true worth, it was a request I couldn’t avoid.
“I know it’s not an easy task, but he’s truly a needed person.”
– Replacing a race engineer, especially with an inexperienced one, is something I can’t guarantee will be possible, even for the director…
“Please do it just like you believed in me and scouted me this time as well. I know it’s difficult, but I ask you to help.”
– Given the current situation, there’s a high possibility that the headquarters will intervene, so I can’t guarantee it… Ultimately, it will be more difficult for the director. I’ll try to convey it as positively as possible to him.
“Thank you, scout. I’ll be waiting for your contact.”
I ended the call by announcing the relocation news.
I did all I could.
Now, what remains is to leave it to Binotto.
The era of Ferrari will surely come with the strength of you, me, and us.

At 5 PM on Sunday, the list for the Cheongchul Aram Event was released.
After the list was posted on the official Kiwich TV website, the participants received a passionate reaction from the viewers.
<Cheongchul Aram Participant List>
Speed Racer – Ms. Kim
Manpangiyo – Gakgiteolgi
One Man Show – Annyeong Ruda

KING – Haerari
The encounter between the idiot Speed Racer and the absolute idiot Ms. Kim. It’s just… ridiculous!
In the meantime, our KING, Teacher Yooihyun, was also chosen.
ㅇㅇ(221.148): The biggest winner of this event: Haerari, who gets a month of free tutoring from KING.
ㄴ포랑해*: I want it…ㅠㅠ
ㄴㅇㅇ(110.12): I’m in the F3 mid-range, should I do it for you?
ㄴㅇㅇ(122.43): Sweet water boy is so d*mn disgusting;;
Ew…*: Yooihyun, Haerari…? Is it… yuri…? ><
ㄴㅇㅇ(175.218): Just get lost and d*e.
Viewer*: I would rather the season opens quickly instead of this. Seeing Yooihyun on the podium would really get my bl**d pumping.
ㄴ포창인생*: Indeed, Yoo Seon-jin has never been on the podium, will Teacher Lee Hyun be the first Korean to go up...?
ㄴ구경꾼*: If we just look at the drivers, it seems possible, but honestly, I don’t know because of the Ferrari engine.
The Cheongchul Aram Event was popular even though it wasn’t a race where streamers who excelled at For One participated.
In reality, the streamer running the race is F5.
They were the most popular class of streamers, neither too low nor too high.
Yet the popularity remains high because it is easy for the viewers to engage.
Statistically, an overwhelming majority of viewers are F5 or much lower.
They watch the streamers participating as apprentices rolling around and gradually improving their skills in real time.
Even if they do not reach the podium, they feel a sense of camaraderie or joy in the meaningful achievement of shortening lap times.
At the same time, the chemistry and deep bond between the master streamer and apprentice streamer is a significant enjoyment of watching the event.
Streamers perform the missions set by Kiwich from time to time, sweating together and building a strong bond.
The master passionately guides the apprentice so that they can achieve their goals, and the apprentice immerses themselves in driving with all their trust in their master.
The roar of the engine as it forcefully pushes the heart onto the circuit, along with the master shouting, and the rough yet pure and passionate driving of the apprentice.
Both streamers take steps toward the same goal from their respective positions.
There is something beyond the podium there.
Additionally, since they are composed of seasoned For One streamers, it wouldn’t be easy to predict the outcome.
No matter how great the master is, if the apprentice can’t keep up, it’ll be all for naught.
In that sense, the combination of KING and Haerari is the most anticipated team while at the same time the most low-key.
<KING and Haerari>
It’s hopeless. Those who have seen Haerari’s streams know that he is just trash.
He has a pretty face and is popular among the fools for his crazy concept, but his skill is really vomit-inducing. I don’t understand why he was proposed as a partner.
Of course, KING’s skills are beyond doubt, and just looking at yesterday’s lecture shows he knows how to teach extraordinarily well. He is a top instructor.
But Haerari? Haha.
No matter how hard he tries, coal won’t turn into gold.
ㅇㅇ(230.123): I partially agree, but why are you being so serious about an event meant for fun? Are you anti-Haerari?
ㄴㅇㅇ(223.62): No, no, the opposite. These kinds of idiots are the ones who promote Haerari.
Haerari fan*: No one works harder than our Haerari!
Name* : Is it because the master is KING that Haerari’s anti-fans have increased? Haha.
ㄴ8톤트럭*: Seriously haha. It seems like there are a lot of floating folks who are sick of KING being the master.
ㄴName*: It’s true that Haerari can’t do it, but because it’s KING, I believe.
ㄴㅇㅇ(211.211): Those delinquent kids are so annoying haha.
ㅇㅇ(220.88): Top instructor KING vs. top idiot Haerari…!!! A battle of the strongest in the universe…!!! Who will win?
ㄴ마계인천드라이버*: This is it for sure haha.
The combination of KING and Haerari, where it’s either all or nothing, was bound to cause a lot of discussions before the event even started.

On a sunny day in Barcelona, Spain.
A city known for its famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral built by architect Antoni Gaudí, and a central hub of Spain travel.
Creeeek—!
Bang! Bang!!
Weeeeeing!!!
Enrique Tinko was disassembling and modifying the engine of his beloved Ford Mustang at the old auto repair shop he inherited from his father.
“Phew…”
During the slow times at the repair shop with no work, disassembling, reassembling, and modifying engines became the only joy for 25-year-old Enrique.
Although he had become the owner of an insignificant repair shop at a young age, Enrique had never complained once.
He found great joy and freedom in being able to fix and modify cars however he wanted, so one could say he was rather happy.
However, the small and outdated repair shop was utterly inadequate to accommodate his talents.
In other words, Enrique Tinko, who entered the top university for automotive engineering and graduated at the top of his class, longed for change.
He needed a vessel to pour out his infinite passion for cars and overflowing potential.
And then,
On that warm afternoon with the sun high in the sky,
“I am Ferrari’s director, Mattia Binotto.”
That vessel approached him more fated than fate itself.
